TINE CHINESE MUST CO..

Eureka is moving against the Chinese.
The Second Ward Anti Chinese Club
at a recent meeting adopted
very stringent resolutions against
the heathens. The club. declares
that Chinese labor is curse to the land,
degrading to morals, a menace toliberty,
and should be restricted 1t was re-
solved without a dissenting voice, that
members of. the club shall not, knowing
ly, patronize any, one who employs
Chinese in any capaeity, and that it is
she sacred duty of the. members. to
drive out the Chinese, peaceably, if they
can, but forcibly, if they must. A list
of all those who-employ Chinese in any
capacity, in the Second Ward Of. Enre-
La, IS ,te,be published, and thirty days
notice is to be given them to dispense
with their services.
Ii is believed that when the provi-
Mons of the New, Constitution of Cali
sornia against Chinese are enforced by
legislation that there will be "a. Mongo-
Kan exodus from. that State to Nevada.
1t is therefore advisable that Anti7Chi-
nese clubs, similar to that of Eureka, be
organized throughout the State, for
self protection.

ORDERED NOT TO FIGHT.

General Miles is an Indian fighter.
Some say he is actuaSed not so much
by love of war as a desire for
promotion. These reports are, how
ever, circulated by jealous rivals.
Miles fought the Mes Perces, who,
under Joseph played hide and seek
with General Howard half way across
the continent, and whipped them into
submission. He is now on the head
waters of the Missouri river, with a
force of only 200 men, engaged in fight
ing the war-like Sioux. 1t is feared he
may encounter Sitting Bulls forces,
who are reported as having crossed the
frontier from Canada. As they out
number his command by at least
twenty to one, the. War Department,
anticipating another Custer massacre in
the event of collision, declare that
there is no necessity whatever for
bringing on another Indian war, and
have sent positive instructions to Miles
to avoid conflict. 1t is evident from
this that the War Department knows
the man. If Howard was in command
on the Canada line there would be no
necessity for issuing such an order.
He would avoid a conflict without in
structions from Army Headquarters,
aud it is possible that he may be trans
ferred to the upper Missouri to super
cede the brave and impetuous Miles,.
