The Origin OF Kearneyism.
NEW York. July ga TSibsns reporter
has interviewed Judge Ord Of San Francisco
now here. The latter said: "I have
watched tho progress Of the Kearney
movement from It's inception. II was
brought about through the usual conflict
between capital and labor, but principally
through the employment Of Chinese
labor to the exclusion Of all other. The
emigration Of Chinese at trst was very
light and their coming was not objected to.
and In fact scarcely noticed. II was not
until tho Central Pacific Railroad and
Union Pacific companies extended com-
petitive advantages 10 Chinese emigrAnts.
ana created such . tremendous influx for
several Year, 10 the Pacific Coast, that tho
present disturbance began 10 exist. White
| men and women who were only receiving
| moderate compensation for their labor
were discharged. and Cinnamon who
proved themselves 10 be willing and apt
scholars, were substituted In their place.
| Not only did they make able miners.
lsbsrsrs, and mechanics, but cooks. ser.
wants and chambermaids and to-day
a great many Of tho very best houses OF the
Pacific Coast contain Chinese servants
| Of every grade. The %enterprising laborer
who had saved Q small pittance easily stood
this change for . short time. but while he
VA. standing still SPECTATORS, msnufac-
turers and Others, with capital, were
quickly gaining wealth through the intro
| duction Of cheap labor. The result has
bosn that In Q few years the workingmen
have become beggars and the capitalist
has become rich, and to-day Ban Francisco
| contains over one hundred millionaires.
Az q natural consequence this great wealth
has created monopoly. This has assumed
such . gigantic shape that any hind Of
legislation. either local or state, Is con-
stsntly being tempered with. and even our
courts are in danger Of being controlled
by these m~onopolists. This, with the gen.
crsl depression In business and real estate.
placed property owners In very bad odor.
AZ an instance, I recall the case OF Hop
kins, an eItsnsive stock owner Of the Pa
ciic coast, who contemplated building Q
very fino mansion lust outside Of our
CITY. Drawings were completed and
ground broken. The cost was estimated
