something like these. The niggerS, witch

down 10 wood and stone.
We wuz warned in time. Two weeks
ago got this dispatch:
RAT CATcHER's s'LoOS, SAN Francisco.
To P.V. Nasty, Labor Champion:
Four hundred godlis Chinese on their
way to the Corners. These pagans hev
undermined the religion and labor Nv
Caliiorny, and are movin on Kentucky.
They worship idols, and work for so cents
aday. Well be did ef we stand it. Kill
the cursed heather. Stand up for labor
and religion.

The irekenters Nv Bascom's will never
allow this kind uV an insult to Their re-
illus ieelins, and demanded TO be led again
'em to wunst, that they mite make it live
~ for 'em. They clinked Their glasses in
yoonison, and swore that the Crossroads
shood never be defiled with heather, and
the entire Corners roze ez one man to COM
pass their destruckshen.
Jist then the clarion voice Nv Bascom
Wuz heard above the howls nv the excit.
ed populis:
Wait and see whether them of scourins
intend to spend their earnins at my bar.
Ell they will we must put up with Their
heathenism. Ei not, the wrath nv q out
ragged community must be visitid upon
them. In the meantime, let trusty men
go and see wat plumber they hey in their
cabins"
| went to interview them. They wuz
all diggin away at the sand bank. Selec.
tin an able. bodied one, asked him wat
his vews wus on the suyrinty Nv the
States. He made no anser. How did he
like the climaie7 BE kept on digsin.
Wat wuz his noshen Nv the silver ques-
ton? Sull he dug. Wuz he support.
err nv President Hayes polisy? That
fetched him. He never stopped his infer
nal diggm--we can't understand this
kind Nv thing here at the Corners, we
stop work easy enough-he snsered with
out lookin up.
"Melikin man go to hellee-Chinsman
woIk for wages"
We waitid pashently till Friday, and es
not a ChinamAn among en- he'd bin aeen
at Bascom's, that CRATE man consented 10
our movin onto enl. We found that they
wuz workin at fifty cents a day, wich no
Cowcashun resident would do Tor ten
times the money, and wuz keepin US out
Nv employment. We reasoned TO our
selyea, wat chance there wood be for u',
IF the cheep labor Nv the Overlooking
East should be piled in upon US in this
way, and we determined to resist this out
rage on Amerikin labor.
Issaker Gavitt got 80 excited about it
that he riz up from the counter he wuE
lyin on, and swore that for one he wood
die in defense Nv labor and Deekin Po-
gram, who wuE lyin Oh buffalo robe,
rolled over into an easier pOsishun, and
demandid wat the country WOE comm to.
Captain M'Pelter woke up and got out NV
his chare, and sighGd that Their wuz no
longer any room for Amerkin industry,
and that he wuz willin to resist EN- TO the
death. And then he'd be did eli he
wanted the soil TO be desecraiid by set
Nv i'm pious, soulless heather.
Bascom insisted that both on account
Nv labor and religion they ought not to
be permitted 10 RENAME. They never
came TO his bar, or did anythin that wuE
civilized. SIGH a set Nv heather wood
undermine Amerikin institooshuns in a
yeer. Hey they anything in Their cabins
10 indemnify US for thus outragin our
feelins?
We went for EN- that afternoon, but
the expedishn wuE disastru'. The sooP:
erintendent asked us wat we wantid. !
ansered that ez Amerikin citizens We had
come to demand that the heather element
he he'd interdOosed be TO wunst removed
and that ef It wuEn't done forthwith we
shoOd do il BY force.
He LATED iiendish laT and sed that Ell
the Chinese wuL any wuts heather than
the specimens he had seen sence he he'd
bin in this country, they he'd bis most pro-
found sympathies. Ez he wus Of the
opinyun that their coming didn't inter
tere with any labor We wur likely to do
he wood give US jist one mint to make
ourselves scarce, and he whipped out a
revolver NV the regler Joe Bigler size
and the other Bosses whipped out simlOr
weepiuE, and the Chinamau come up with
their shUvels and picke.
We retired TO the Corners, and held
meelin and passed resOloshens denousin
the heather, wich ia ez fur "a we hev got
toward expellin Nv em.
But the Corners Is depressed. The Ia
Dor and religious questions alluE does

and things, comia here and takin the
