Go The Tribune says the presence of Ch
" nese in California may be highly diI
u tasteful to large class, but these fo
eigners are entitled to the full protectio
lg of law and will receive it. If the Stai

is must, for they are here in accordanC
5h with treaty stipulations, and must sta
Ell here unless they see fit to return to the
OF native land. True, there is every reaso
nt to believe that in allaying these dif1icu
49, ties the good sense, intelligence and hl
IL manity of the citizens of California wi
ne prevail over the idle prejudices and RAJ
n hatred. Encouraging Chinese imm
"a grafton is one thing, protecting the Oh
nu nese already here is another.
