Joaquin hiil'or Impaled by His
Wife,

Minnie Myrtle Logan Miller, the
divorced wife of the "Poet of the
Sierras," has written u scathing
reply to his pro-Chinese letter,
published in the New York Tri.
bune just before the immigration
bill was vetoed by our effeminate
President. She brings the ques.
ton of the "yellow scourge" on
this coast directly home to the un-
patriotic poet, by showing how his
own flesh and blood Is driven to
dangerous resources to make liv-
ing because of the competition of
the Chinese. We give our readers
the following extract from the let
ter, which, If Joaquin has any sem
sibility left, must enter his soul
like red-hot steel. She says:
The arguments made against
Chinese immigration by the lead
ing journals of this city, and the
speakers and writers of this coast
and elsewhere, are clear and con-
elusive. | have nothing new to Of
fer, but beg leave to present my
actual experience in contact with
the Chinese element, as by correct
samples of actual experience only
can the world judge.
On arriving in this city some
three months ago, Mr.. Miller's
daughter, Maud, now nearly fifteen
years old-to whom he dedicated
his "Songs of the Sierras"--and
myself, applied at shoe manufac-
tory for the purpose of OBJ.

that the wages offered were not

that this establishment employed a
large number of Cinnamon, and
that Cinnamon were everywhere
employed, to the exclusion of those
who could not afford to work for
pittances. Becoming interested,

placing ourselves under protection
of the police, we explored that

i'll of loathsome diseases, with
swollen heads, distorted faces and
repulsive bodies. The vile contact
was too much for us, and especially
for the child, who came out half
fainting, and lay i'll for days
afterwards, simply, I believe,
from inhaling the poisonous air Of
these Chinese dens. Recovering
from this illness, she was forced to
apply to the manager of ballet
