BEECHER ON THE CHINESE.

Henry Ward Beecher is going about
the country delivering lecture on
the Chinese in California. 1t is quite
obvious that the reverend gentleman
is not posted on his subject. We
infer this much, says the Eureka Sen
tinel, because he advocates the Chi
pese side of it. At all events, we
can not we'll divine how any person
versed in the practical effects of Chi
nese immigration to this coast can
raise his voice in support of con-
tinuaDce Of the evil. Henry Ward
Beecher deliberately turns his back
on thousands of poor men and women
of bis own race when he takes up
the cause of the Chinese. Hear him
how eloqnentlg he pleads for the
Johns: "If this great civilization and
Christian people can not endure the
contact and presence of the Mongo-
liam race, it is right that they should
lose their religion, and their civilza-
ton, and their Wanted Christianity ;
for if Christianity is soap-bubble,
the sooner it is pricked and bursts
the better; but if it be the wisdom
of God and the power of God unto
salvation, we ought to abhor the
power that attempts by violence to
ward off from our shores the heather
nations Of every kind" We only
care tor the gush of Mr.. Beecher for
the harm it is likely to do in the way
of prejudicing the Eastern people on
this important theme. Last year we
had begun to get Congress and the
political conventions to listen to our
complaints, but lecturers Of the
Beecher persuasion are quite apt to
counterfeit all that has been accom-
plished.

A"CALL of the House" has become
an every day affair in the New York
Legislature. This species of parlia-
mentary coercion is understood to be
resorted to only to secure a quorum,
but New York, which has given us
many new and peculiar things in
legislation, uses it for the rather strlk-
ing purpose of solidifying the Re-
publican majority in favor OF partisan
measures. A cali of the House last
week continued through two days, in
spite OF the fact that there was a quo
rum, and because of the fact that
some difficulty was experienced in
bull-dozing the majority into harmo-
NOUS action.

ELEVEN hundred and fifteen Chi
nese passengers arrived in San Fran
cisco on the steamship City of Tokia
on her last trip. The previous
steamer brought several hundred,
with a new supply Of smallpox.
The epidemic which has ragged in San
Francisco for more than year past
was started by Chinese immigrants,
and we doubt if that city will ever
be clear Of this loathsome and fatal
disease until their coming Is pro-
hibited.- As q sanitary measure, if
they ignore all other considerations,
our law and treaty makers should
put an end to this constant influx of
deadly disease.

Chinese Labor and the Ruin 1t
COntemplates.

IF there is one subject that tran
sends all others in vital importance
it is that which is embodied in the
aspect of the Chinese question in its
relation to the future of the Pacific
coast States and Territories. The
present is a favorable time to meet
the issue and discuss the merits and
dement's of the question. With pa
triotIc white citizens there can be
but one course to adopt and one side
to take on this question so vitality
affecting their future welfare. The
Pagan hordes must be prevented
from making further inroads upon
the progress of civilization in this
country, otherwise dangers of great
magnitude are liable to threaten the
moral and social status of our insti-
tut,ons. With the thoughtlessness
and indifference peculiar to the
American mind our people are too
prone to neg!ec, matters pertaining
to their own immediate welfare and
danger often confronts them before
they are aware of it. The maj ority of
the people of the Poetic coast do not
vet seem to have awaken to a realiz-
ing sense of this impending danger.
Thew forget that under the present
provisions of the treaty with China
that country could without any strain
upon her resources or serious dlmin-
ution of her population. throw upon
our shores millions OF these infa-
nous heathens, who would have it
in their power, by their system of
cheap labor, 10 cause endless misery,
suffering and restitution among our
own kinsmen. The intelligent Ger
mans, the patriotic Irishmen and the
industrious Swedes come here to
help us in the grand work of civil
ization. Their sympathies are with
the American in the noble and Dig
nified labor IT binding up churches
and school houses and IN sustaining
every other attribute appertaining To
the advancement and welfare of a
Christian people. Above all, they
are with us in sentiment ana nrinci-
pie in the advance II all those grand
ideas per aibing to the Existence of "A
Supreme Being. Must such desir-
able class of citizens as these be
robbed 1T their privileges and be
compelled to make way for the lep-
rnus hrrles whose vices, immoralj-
ties ADD heather infamies have
proved an everlasting and outrageous
disgrace Wherever the Ch'namln has
obt,ined foothold in this country
The influence of their demoniacal,
atheisttcal AID demoralized habits of
life has already had its influence for
the W rise upon the youth OF the land
and the contagion is still spreading.
There is no telling when and bow the
gigantic evil will culminate. The
public welfare demands that imme-
diate restrictions be placed upon Chi
nese immigration, and to this end the
people of the Pacific coast should he
a unit and never cease from their
labors until the whole power of the
Administration and Congress is
brnugh. to bear in checking the
monstrnus evil that threatens such
disastrous consequences 10 the social
aud civil welfare of the country

The War in Europe.

Little news of a reliable nature has
been received from Europe during the
past week. The indications that Eng
land will not permit Russia to occupy
Constantinople are such that Russia no
longer doubts it. This course, on the
part of England, will surely bring on a
conflict between England and Russia if
the latter feels able to risk such war.
That Russia will succeed in conquering
Turkey, if other powers do not interfere,
there does not seem to be any doubt.
The Turks have suffered their enemy
to take and thoroughly fortify three of
the principal passes through the Balkan
mountains, SO that. the two armies will
IN future have equal natural advant-
ages. In such contest there is scarcely
any hope for the Turks, who are out
numbered by five or six to one.

BALTIMORE MARKET.
The Peach Crops
Anna (Union Co., Ill.) Union

Anna (Union Co., nl.) Union.
1t was well known before peaches
blossomed that the crop would not be
general. This is one of the years when
locations count for something. as none
but the most favored localities, includ-
ing elevation and aspect, have peaches.
The crop is pachy instead of general.
and when it is taken into account that
for number of years the number of
trees IN Southern Illinois has been on the
decrease: many orchards of some humid
reds OF trees being entirely neglected or
rooted out, it does not seem probable
that the shipments will be anything
near what they were in 1875 and some
subsequent fair peach years. But for
what the crop falls short in quantity it
is probable will be more than made up
in quality. Our observation, and con-
firmed by number of our largest fruit
growers, is that comparatively little
damage is being done by the curculio,
the pest which for more than ten wears
has seemed to threaten the entire de-
struction of the crop.
