The Chinese.

and its conclusions iii terms of high commeu-
dation. The writer fully agrees with General
Miller that the Mongolian and the Anglo
Saxon civilizations ere radically antagonistic; !;
that they can no more mix than oil and water,
and that it is already high time for lis to con-
slider which of the two civilizations, existing
side by side on the Pacific Coast, shall pre-
dominate. The fact that it is not always the
high type of man that survives in the struggle
for subsistence is demonstrated by references
TO the authorities from whom General Miller
quotes in his article, and the review, after
presenting the question whether the nation
has not a right to discriminate in favor OF
assimiable immigration as against the hordes
of Mongoian heather. by whom the main
tenance of our systems is threatened, con-
cludes as follows:
Z" If the Chinese were to come here to make
conquest OF our country by force of arms
who doubts that the whole nation would re-
sist them? But the stcalthy and strategic
conquest which they are pursuing is Just as
dangerous, and should be met by just as
determined resistance"
The Republic, under the able management
of its new leader and proprietor, who was
formerly the Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune, has now taken posi-
ton in the front rank of weekly journals of
the Pacific Coast people on this question is
therefore a noticeable acquisition.
Telegraph War.
CHICAGO, March S.--Ths afternoon, in the
U. S. circuit court, Judge DrulnmonG entered
an order in the case of the Western Union
Company against the Wabash Railway Com
pany and American Union Telegraph Com
pany, decreeing that the contract between the
old Toledo, Wabash 4 Western Rail- oad
Company and the Western Union Company
is binding on the new Wabash Railway in all
respects, except as to the right of another
telegraph company having acquired the right
to build on the roadway. The court there
upon restrained the Wabash Railway Com
pany, its officers and agents from interfering
in any way with the lines of the Western
Union Telegraph Company upon the line of
the railroad and the offices thereon, and re-
qures the companies on both sides to observe
the terms and provisions of the contracts.
This leaves Judge McCrary's order in full
force, and relieves the controversy of all
question about priority of suit and injunction
and restores full use of the wires along the
whole length of the railroad to the Atlantic
x Pacific Telegraph company.
