The Anti-Chinese Bill.

THE unanimity OF sentiment in favor Of the
cratic Senators is easily accounted for
Fourteen Congressman are TO be elected
from the Pacific Coast, and opposition to
Senator NIilleris bill suspending Chinese
immigration will seal the fate of the party
that opposes it.
The legislature which is to choose sue
cessor to Senator Farley of California, is to
be elected this fall, and the Republican
opposition to the bill in the Senate, where
only ten are in favor of it, will be used
against the party in the approaching canvass.
This is neutralized to slight extent by
the opposition of Senator Brown; but unless
the Republicans of the House are wiser IN
their treatment of the bill than Senator
HOar and others have been, the Democratic
all its own way.
There must be sufficient ground for sup

every organization, civil and religious,
beyond the Rocky Mountains, unite in ask
ing for deliverance from the Chinese.
Senator Miller says: 1T must also be
taken into consideration that the country
from which these Chinese come is of vast
extent and teeming with millions of vagrants
the best never come-who embrace every
opportunity to leave it. The expense of
bringing a Chinaman to San Francisco is
only twenty dollars, which is betrayed by
one of the Six Companies who are enriching
themselves in importing them. ALI that
prevents the Eastern States from being
overrun by them is the necessity of remain
ing bound to these Companies until the
expense of their passage is repaid, when
an advance Eastward will be made.

A Word to Our Soldier Readers.

Senators and Representatives in Congress
are fully familiar with the fact that the
work of examining the claims Of thousands
OF sold iers-claims equally as just us those
of the bondholders-is being retarded be-
cause of insufficient means at the disposal
of the Commissioner to enable the nece ssary
clerical force to be employed in the Pension
Bureau. Why is this the case? Millions
Of money are being voted for other pur-
poses, and yet the comparatively trifng
sum required to properly equip the Pension
Office is withheld. Now, III our efforts to
secure the necessary appropriation for this

thew can render service as effectively as they
did when they united AMI crushed out the

the name OF the representative in Congress
from his district and address him a letter
urging the necessity of his using his in
fluence, and his vote when called upon. to
secure an appropriation for the use of the
Pension Bureau sufficient TO place the De
partment upon good working basis. Let

sentative that his constituency demand that
