The Young Dsmocracy--D on
the Ch-uaaa Auaas4on

the Oh 'nese Question.
This organic alton met Tuesday night to
debate for the entertainment OF visitors.
Toe subject was, "Chinese Immigraiior--
Should it be Encouraged 81 on which DEBATE
was INDUCED in By many OF the members.
Mr.. Campbell acted as Chairman for tie
evening.
The best argument on the flrmatiVe side
was produced by Mr. j. Norcross. He said
the anti-Chinese bill twas q violation OF tt c
Constitution and of the Declaration Of In
dependence, which declare all men equal
and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness; and violation Of the treaty
existing between China and the United
States" In closing, he said: SIT is Just as
proper to prohibit Irish aud German imml-
grafton as it is to prevent the Chinese from
coming to this country"
Mr.. Donelan closed the argument on the
negative side. He said "Mr. Chairman. /
regret that my worthy fellow member, Mr..
Norcross, has failed to discover the true
meaning of the Declaration and the in
equality existing between the Chinese and
other nationaities who emigrase to this
country. The declaration slludes only to
those people capable Of identifying them
selves with American habits, customs and
interests The Irish and German elements
will be under no obligations to me when
remind that gentleman that they fought
and bled in the sacred cause Of liberty and
American independence, thereby claiming
blood relationship with American inter
ests, American Industries and American
welfare. Where have the Chinese ever
fought for libertY' Where died IN throw
ing of the yoke Of slavery When my
worthy friend. Mr.. Norcross, will show me
where the Irish have degraded labor in this
country; when be shows me where the Ger
mans have failed to Identify Themselves
with the customs of this country, will then
concur With him 10 the suspension Of their
immigration. The Chinese, not being as
similative in their character, certainly dc
not come within the Declaration"
Mr.. Campheld rendered the decision OF
the chair In favor of the negative.
