ed in the halls of congress that
there should be no distinction be-
tween Chinese and other immi-
grants. A change has come over
the spirits ofhis dreams. Now he
insists that there is a vast differ.
ence, and that the Chinese must not
come. The people of the Pacific

dance: Zone man waltzes with
his head in the air and much the
expression worn by a dog when
he is bowling at music. Another
has bend in the middle, which
looks as uncomfortable as it is
ungraceful. One genuaects at
every turn and slides on one Of
his feet as if to trip up rival
dancers. An even more danger
ous one works his left hand mp
and down as if it were a pump
handle. A tall man, with a top.
heavy kind Of stoop, leans over
his partner like great hen TAX

from his grasp, while another

General Weaver promises the
negro something like a mule
and forty acres" without money
and without price. He holds that
each person, black and white, is
entitled, by the higher law Of
nature, to as much land as he can
cultivate, and not an acre more.
This idea, carried into effect,
would efectually divide up and
divide out the farms and
plantations of the country. Not
more than forty. perhaps not more
than twenty, acres would be the al
lowance to each able.bodied man.
This is "Iand for the landleas." p
This brands as a crime the pur.
chase and ownership of more land
than the allowance. This beats
the "pure republicanism Of Thad.
lStevens."
