The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-08-04

THERE is a little difference Of opin-
ion on the peace question in England.
Beaconsield, salisbury and their innum-
cradle admirers are strongly under the
suppression that peace was brought
about, ~, by Prince Bismarck in get
ting the Berlin congress together; (2),
by the unyielding ~attitude'of the Brit
fsh members, thus developing a line Of
demarkation; and tsl, by a malicious
distribution of real estate to the only
powers that were likely to foment trou-
Bile. The Archbishop Of Canterbury,
however, dissents from this view. In
asmuctr as the clergyFof his diocese
have been for the past several months
praying for peace. he thinks they should
now, througha general thanksgiving,
return Thanks to the Divine Ruler that
their prayers have been answered. This,
then, may serve two purposes: Teach
the overjoyed diplomats that they were
merely instruments in the hands Of
Another; and at the same time serve
as in answer to Prof. Tyndall's prayer

, PREVENTING CHINESE LABOR.

Chinese coolies are scattered like the
builders of Babel. Cuba, Brazil, Peru,
Central America. Mexico, Australia
and the United States, all have them,
and it is doubtful If some of the nations
are pleased with their possession. The
objections to Cinnamon are manifold
and well enough understood, one Of
which, however. might be adverted to.
They live so cheaply that they can af-
ford to and do underbid the labor mar
ket, This not only works disaster upon
white labor, but 1t impoverishes the
country just in proportion to the
amount they They spend but a
1.-THE Of their earnings, and carry away
the balance. White laborers live bet
ter, support producers and middle men,
and invest the savings in property. 1t
is, therefore, to the interest of the coun-
try that no Cinnamon be employed.
The Australian Parliament looks at
Che matter in this wise, and gives effect
to its views by passing a remarkable
resolution. 1t not only condemns the
employment of Chinese labor on gov
eminent work, but says it will not be
responsible for contracts fulfilled by
that labor. This is certainly the strong
est move for white labor that has yet
been taken by any governments And
1t is probable that the precedent will be
brought to the attention of our own
Congress.

The colored Man in South Africa

Ahu sViurcu MAN III oOutu africa.
The stranger in South Africa will
constantly be told that the colored man
will not work, and that this is the one
insuperable cause by which the pro-
gress of the country is impeded. 1t
will be the first word whispered into
his ear when he arrives, and the last
assurance hurled after him as he leaves
the coast. And yet during his whole
sojourn in the country he will see all
the work of the world around him done
by the hands Of the colored people. 1t
will be SO in Capetown, far away from
the Kafirs. 1t will be so on the home
steads of the Dutch in the western pro-
vince. 1t will be so in the thriving
commercial towns Of the eastern pro-
vince. From one end of Natal to the
other he willtind that all the work is
done by Zulus. 1t will be the same In
the Transvaal, and the same even in
the Orange Free State. Even there,
whenever work is done for wages, it is
done by colored hands. When he gets
the diamond fields he will find the
mines swarming with black labor. And
yet lie will be told that the ''nigger''
will not work.

The Famine In China.

In the earlier period Of distress the
living fed upon the bodies Of the dead;
next, the strong devoured the weak;
and now the general destitution las ar
rived at such q climax that men devour
those of their own flesh and blood.
History contains no record Of so terri
BILE and distressing n state of things,
and IL prompt measures Of relief be not
instituted, the whole region must be-
come depopulated. Local sources Of
supply are entirely exhausted; the
g%rainaries are empty, and the treasury
drained dry, while the few wealthy PEG
pie in the provinces have helped with
contributions and loans till they them
selves are impoverished.@Pekin Ga
