publican) says it was indiscreet in Repre-
sentative Page to lose his temper and talk
wildly about the activity of the lobby
against the Chinese bill. He deserved to
be called to order for his remarks. They
were intended, apparently, to rebuke
members Of the House, rather than men,
bers Of the lobby. The management Of
the bill in the Senate was prudent and
dignifed, its friends never lost their
balance, md never showed fight, as the
phrase goes. Nevertheless, it is a notori-
GUS fact that the railroad lobby have been
very active in their attempts to defeat the
bill, the Northern Pacific Railroad peo-
pie being powerfully organized for this
purpose. TIL agents Of the Six Com
panies, and the Chinese immigration
bureaus in San Francisco, were also con-
spicuous in their efforts in the lobby.

'the land Of the free and the home of the
brave was really inspired by selfish traf-
fckers, in Asiaticb one Inc sinew, the
world can never fully know.
