taking their way. Their exodus from
the Pacific coast has commenced ut a
very lively rate. aided BY the reduced
rates Of fare, and it will not DO long
before the diminished number Of these

among us will be very noticeable. The

the Chinese were considered an advanta-

Gradually but surely will New York,
Chicago. Philadelphia. Boston and the
other cities Of the great East become
oslestializsd. They will take into their
bosom . pestilsnt viper which BY and BY
they will curse most heartily: . lsprous

and become . de,p'y rooted curse, per.

permanent eject OF this rehabilitation
Of tbs East will be remains to be seen.
The Chinese arc welcome there now and
will be utilized with avidity everywhere,
even taking the places Of the eolored
people on the plantations Of the South.
They will intsrmarry and mix with
the various elements and components
OF the population. and gradually
become an element OF influence and
power. eventually working upward and
aspiring to citizenship and suffrage.
Even now they demand that the Burlin-
game treaty shall be enforced. and under
its provisions claim protection and fos-
tsring care from Government. with all
the privileges accorded to other nation
aliliss composing the population OF the
Republic. Give John citizenship and
suffrage. and he will not be despised be-
low the negro or any other voter. On
tho contrary. he would Be psttsd and his
acquaintance cultivated BY all ambitious
politicians. Even the opium scent OF
his presence would Be considered fra.
grant. and his pigtail regarded as 4 rem
inisesnce Of the queues OF our revolu-
tionary ancestors. or in cousonance with
the braids worn by all our fashionable
ladies.
But let US hope. on the contrary. that
our Eastern brethren may speedily open
their eyes and come to an sppreciative
realization Of the heather curse they are
now unconsciously welcoming. the Pan
dora's box Of psstilential evils they are
now so blindiy turning loose into their
midst. For the time must and will
come when they will awaken with sur
prise at their stupid infatuation, and
sven Henry Ward Bsscher will see moth
ing in the heather Chinese to love,
honor or respect. Tho time will come
when they will cry to be delivered from
the evil. and perhaps may DO only
through violence and blsod. The sooner
the Burlingams treaty 10 modified, abro-
gated or annullsd altogether. the better.
