WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Critic this
evening published the following: The opin-
ion is current that nearly all the clergy of
the Pacific Coast are on the wrong side of
the Chinese question, but one of our Wash
ington pastors, who has several times visited
the Pacific slope and has spent number of
years in the East, after hearing Senator
Jones's speech in the Senate on the bill now
awaiting the Presidents approval, addressed
the following letter to the Senator:
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1882.
Hon. J. p. Jones, U. s. Senate:
DEAR SIR listened with very great
pleasure to your able speech of yesterday on
the Chinese question. After several visits
to the Pacific Coast and several years. resi-
dence in the "Far East" where had occa-
sion to think of this very serious social and
political question, am convinced that the
position taken by yourself and Others in the
advocacy of this bill must IN the long run
result in the highest welfare of our people.
Your disposition of the text, " Hath made of
one blood all nations of men," was quite
satisfactory. The remainder of the sentence
might be quoted with good effect, but it is
studiously overlooked by the self-styled
philanthropists who advocate unlimited Chi
nese immigration. "Hath made of one
(blood) all nations of men, to dwell on all
the face of the earth, and hath determined
the bounds of the cohabitation." If the
widest ocean in the world Is not one of those
bounds, then the scripture is meaningless.
1 should be much obliged for copy of your
speech, and other remarks on the subject.
(Signed) w. E. PARSONS,
Pastor Of the Church of the Reformation.
The Critic also prints short interview
with Senator Farley, in regard to the pros
poets for Presidential approval of tile Chi
nese bill. Farley, in reply to the question
| whether he had any information as to Ar
thurs intention, replied: "only upon gem
eral principles, but, in the absence of any
positive information to the contrary, I think
he will sign It,"

OUR correspondent &C." in reyiving the
question of Convict Labor" is but contin-
uing an old controversy, one that will never
end, and yet one which effects nothing.
Whether he will or will not employ csnvict
labor is a question every man determines
for himself, and the very man who declares
NEST roundly against it may be standing in
shoes made by convict in some eastern
prison, competing with some eastern shoe
maker and sold to him two bits cheaper for
that cause. As to "C's" suggestion for
employing convicts, It would be first rate II
practicable; but that cannot be done with
out an appropriation, and every influence
of Montana combined for the past seven
years has failed TO do that. So far
as the cost incurred in hunting escaped con-
yicts is concerned, U. s. Marshal Botkin
states that it never cost the territory q
dollar except for one man, and the United
States only the stage fare Of one captured
man from Bannack to Deer Lodge.

THE Salt Lake Tribune is not inspired
with hope In the acceptance by Senator Tel
Ter of the Interior portfolio. 1t says the
Utah Gentlles felt sense Of relief when 1t
was known Sargent would not be appointed,
because years ago he made an open fight
against any extreme measures for Utah, but
that those who knew him we'll believe he
was sincere in what he did. Il is further
stated that he has now become convinced
the exercise of power in Utah is necessary.
On the other hand the Tribune says Teller
holds there is nothing to call for interference
of the Government In the affairs. of Utah
and has said had he been President when
Governor Murray issued the commission to
Campbell instead of Cannon, he would have
cut off his head without days delay. at
strikes us that In securing Teller instead Of
Sargent, Utah has not struck a bonanza"

and method Of this restrictive legislation
which the United States might enact was
discussed with the Chinese Commissioners
before the treaty was drafted and they un-
derstood from the American Commissioners
that 1t might be the prohibition would be for
two, or three, or five years, or it might be
alternate years, or that the importation
might be lessened, or that Congress might
prohibit importation to California where
there was surplus Of Chinese and direct
them to the South or some other portion Of
the country where 1t was needed, and that
the Chinese Commissioners were satisfied
with this explanation and made the treaty
with this verbal understanding and without
draft Of the legislation proposed.
While the United States has right to
construe the treaty, and we would gladly
see the immigration restricted to the full
extent that the treaty contemplated, We be-
lieve since reading the report Of the Com
missioners that the act just passed and
vetoed Is, IL mot In violation Of the exact
terms Of the treaty, at least violation oil
I the understanding Of IL had by the Chinese
government from the representations made
by the American government. The United
States Is too great, II Is toe eminent among
the nations, 1t has too grand destiny, Il
should have too much self respect to pre-
meditatedly do wrong thing or LITTLE
thing. The treaty in Its letter and spirit
and as understood and agreed upon by th'
Commissioners, gives ample scope to sup

Legislation should be kept clearly within

OUR DARLING.

Can this be our lovely darling,
Lying thus 90 cold and white,
Sweet eyes closed 10 deaths cold slumber
So lately sparkling with delight.
Ger the pale white marble brow,
Lay clustering rings of soft brown hair,
Whittier than the dropping lilies,
Lies our darling pure and fair.
White waxen hands so meekly folded,
On the little tired breast,
No not tired only peaceful,
For our darling is at rest, 3.
Darling Mamie, we shall miss thee,
Must we see thee meyer more,
Nor feel thy soft caressing fingers,
Nor hear by patteriDg on the floor.
Shall we no more stop to listen,
To hear her tripping down the stair,
Nor hear her soft voice softly calling,
just to know is mamma there.
Sweet pouting lips 80 often raised,
For papa's kiss to hear 30 dear,
1t Gliding words were ever spoken,
Bright eyes filled with pearly tears.
Now SO calm and peaceful lying,
Within the little coffin bed.
Winter than the pale white blossoms,
That DER our darling's form is spread
Thus one golden link il broken.
Yet loving friends are lingering near.
The last good bye is sadly spoken.
In silence falls the parting tear.
Hold the fort / am coming,
Thus sang our darling e'er she died,

A MISTAKE WAS MADE.-A young
lady gave "her young man" a beauti-
fully worked pair Of slippers, and he
acknowledged the present by sending
her his picture, encased in hand
some frame. He wrote note to send
with it, and at the ssme time replied
angrily to an oft-repeated dun for an
unpaid-for suit of clothes. He gave a
boy ten cents to deliver the package
and notes, giving explicit directions
as to the destination of each.
1t was a boy with freckled face,
and be discharged his errand in a
manner that should give him a niche
in the temple Of fame.
The young lady received nots in
her adored ones handwriting, and
few to her room to devour it's con-
tents. she opened the missive with
eager fingers, aud read
"I'm getting tired of your everlast.
ing attentions. The suit is about

Aud the tailor was struck utterly
dumb when he opened q parcel and
discovered the picture of his deliu-

said:
"When you gaze upon the features,

When the unfortunate young man
called around that evening to receive
the happy acknowledgement of his
sweetheart, he was very SYSTEMATICALLY

halt between stations the other day,

with the usual accompaniment of par

"Have we colluded with anything?"

"Then what did we stop for?"
"There was calf on the track, I
believe"
That satisfied her for that time,
but in half ar hour there was another
stop to pack hot Journal.
"What on airth is the matter now7'
she inquired, as she tried to push up
the window.
"Nothing-nothing-only COW on
the track" he replied, as he contin.
ued his reading.
The third halt was made Just out
side Of a station for wood, and as she
heard the whistle and felt the. train
slowing down, she got q brace for her
feet and called out:
"First calf and then COW, and
now they are going to bump right into
