Chinese in California.

The communists have made siren
uous efforts to scare the people OF
the United States with the assertion
that California has 10000 China
men, of whom 60 900 are established
in San Francisco. The Alta con.
tradicted these figures, and claimed
that there were not more than 80,
900 IN the State, or 10000 in the
city Of San Francisco. The census
PROVES that too much was admitted.
The total Chinese population of the
State may amount to 10000. The
figures for more than twenty one
counties, which have a total pop
ulation of445,O00 out of $4,000,
in the State, show a Chinese pop.

ratio the whole State would have
about $4,000. San Francisco has
9 per cent of Celestial inhabitants,
and the Southern part Of the State
has 81 per cent. Some mining
camps have 90 per cent, and the
whole State presumably, about 8 per
cent.-San Francisco Alta.

THE SPEAKERsHlP.

As the Pioneer Press and othes.
Republican journals are discussing the
chances Of the various candidates for
the speakership Of the House of Re
representatives. in our State legislature
this winter, it will not be wholly
amiss for us to say word on this sub
ject. Several gentlemen have alrea.
dy been named as probable candi--
dates for this responsible position, and
we have no doubt that all of them are
well qualified and worthy; but no one,
to our knowledge, has yet been nam
ed from the counties comprising the
Second Congressional District. We
believe that among the members elect
there is no one more worthy to FIJI the
speakers chair than Hon. H. r.
Denny, of Carver county. Although
he has not attained the age Of some
of the other gentlemen named for the
position, he has had considerable leg
islative experience and was highly cs-
teemed by his fellow.associates in the
legislative bodies of which he was a
member. He was prominent can.
didate for Lieut.. Governor before the
Republican State Convention in the
fall of 1879, and but for the various
trades contaminated at that time he
might have been successful. The
Third Congressional district already
has the Governor, Lieut.. Governor,
Secretary Of State and Railroad Com
missioner, and the First district has
the StatelAuditor and Treasurer. The
Second Congressional district and the
Minnesota valley was wholly ignored
by the Republican State convention
of 1879, and we think that it would
be nothing more than p1oper and just
to accord the speakership to Hon. H.
R. Denny, worthy and we'll quail.

Farmers in Southern Minnesota.

A trip through the southeastern
part of Mower and Freeborn coun-
ties during the past week shows a
bad condition of affairs, financially
among a large number of renters,
and also that class Of farmers who
hold land contracts for their farms.
The low wheat lands have proven
failures during three years in sue
cession. Everything is mortgaged,
with no money to change their
grain into stock farms. Many
farms we predict, will be abandoned
and remain untitled during the next
season, as many are already prepar.
