QurrE an important question comes MP for con-
siderlltion in the matter Of the Chinese companies
The Chinese. people as is very widely known,
frssguautly form themselves into guilds OF secret
associations. whose members are bound 50 strong
" together that. when any one Of them commits
crime, the rest Of the guild or company bind them
selves together 10 prevent his being brought to
justice There Is also we understand from Mr-
Atoug. great deal Of feeling connected with the
provinces fro1n which Chinese come. In this
country TWO provinces are at the present moment
represeated-Pooati and Haka. From the latter
certain number have joined the Christian religion
and We fancy the Poonti people feel that undue
weight Is given 10 their representations on this
account The proposal which Nj. Along made Of
having the shipping agents appointed at salary,
the surplus of shipping dues to 30 the benefit Of
the Chinese Merchants Club House, which $50
citation was to be composed Of representatives Of
both provinces. seems 10 rs % have been very
reasonable one. It PIT an end 10 that system Of
stealing labor which had been in operation for
some time set Of men would be shipped 70
Hackfel5 & Co. we VIII say. by one maa. Next
day the same gang would be shipped to BreEer,s
by another man. be put on board a schooner and
sent OF. The irresponsible shipping master would
have disappeared and Hackfeld & Co. had 10
whistle for their labor. This Is no exaggerated
case: the thing hss bee1 done over and over again.
BY appointing two men for whom the Merchants,
Club was responsible, who could gam nothing 70
thenselves BY re-shipping men. We crushed in
moment this great abase- B1t what vii happen
II another elemen. Is introduced among the ship
ping masters: The merchants refuse TO be any
loarer responsible for their men and, with two
adverse elements working Up laborers We shan
have the same old story Of shipping laborers IN
two Places. Our views upon the number of Chi
nee here have already been pretty plainly ex-
pressad. but having them here we must do What
We can with them. We think It iar better 10 act
upon them throurh the accredited agent Of the
Chinese Government o. o mgss. than 70 hope 70
rlle them by allowing them TO form guilds and
hopils to play OF one guild against the other
such guilds are very rriSchievous; they arc sub
versive Of tIl law and o-der. 50 dangerous are
they. that IL the latter pars Of his career Ra:ah
