The Chinese Question.

Shall the Mongolian' be prevented
from emigrating to the United States
is . question which is sgitating the
the citizens of California more than
any other part of the country. because
they are most affected byit. Although
believer in state rights, to some ex-
tent, sill we do not believe that any
state shall presume to exclude any
nationality from their borders.
Is not this in direct opposition to the
constitution of the United States,
which declares all men equal before
the law?
This country was intended by our
revolutionary fathers as sn asylum for
the oppressed of all nations without
regard to sex. color or previous con-
dition, and no unfair discrimination
should be made towards any.
Let the Chinese come and exact of
them, as you do of other nationalities
that they shall be law-abiding citizens
this is all that you would ask, ex-
pect, or require.
Admit them 10 the rights Of citizen
ship after they have resided here the
same time that any other foreigner
is required before this privilege is
granted to him. Science teaches US,
that the Monaghan race is far superb
or to the Negro, and yet while we grant
to the latter all rights, we refuse the
former any.
What consistency is there in this
is..it right, is it just, is il proper? A
most careful examination into the
facts of this case. shows that the Chi
pese are more worthy the rights of
citizenship than those who mslign
them. Therefore. we say, let the Chi
nese cone.-[San Antonio Cosrier.
