The Chinese.

We do not wish to argue the Chinese
question with anybody, there being very
few OF them here and the question not
being at present n practical one here; and
ms we do not wish to present the Chinese
side alone, we have decided not to publish
the communication OF our correspondent
"a. b." IL is sufficient for us to remem-
Der the shameful treatment TO which the
South was subjected when South Carolina,
Louisiana, Mississippi, and other States
were put under negro domination by the
northern people who knew better what was
good for us than we knew ourselves, and
to recall the fact that when the new Con-
stitution OF California was submitted TO the
people for adoption, in April, 1879, only
three years ago, proposition to prohibit
Chinese immigration was separately sub
mitted, with this result:
For prohibition Of the Chinese. .154,65s
Against prohibition. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. oS3
NOn-committal-not voting.... .......... 5,SSl
Prohibition majority over all.......147,s74
We desire no more testimony on the
subject. The Chicago Tribune, leading
Republican journal, says on this point:
"Out of more than 100000 votes cast at
that election only the insignificant handful
Of 1888 were cast in favor Of Chinese immi-
grafton into that State. Such are the views
and feelings OF the whole mass OF the peo-
pie OF California, irrespective Of party,
after thirty years trial Of the benefits OF
Chinese civilization, habits, and cheap
labor. And against the knowledge by eX-
perience of the desirabiiity OF the Mongo-
lians OF The whole people OF California
land we may also include Oregon, Washing
ton, and nevada his Accidency sets VI
his individual ignorance and mex
perience! !"
We only wish TO remark that large pro-
portion-perhaps one fourth-of the 1910
votes east against these miserable " ma
chine men," as MONTGOMERY BLAIR so hap
PLY designates them, were cast by church
members.
But we forbear. We intended only tC
show that no true patriot should attcmp
TO decide this question otherwise than i
has been decided by the people who yoteC
on the subject with full knowledge O
what they were doing.

THE STEAM PLOW.

The Fargo Republican pronounces the
trial test OF the steam plow in that vicin-
lty complete success. 1t is propelled or
drawn by sixteen ton engine-4O horse
power-at either side of the tract of land.
The test was made with the engines 800
wards apart, running six plows, cutting
each a iurrow OF sixteen inches and max
inc the distance across in three and half
minutes time and only requiring one MN
ute to make the turn ready to start back.
The character of the breaking was critl-
cally examined by several agriculturalists
and bonanza farmers who pronounced it
nrst-class breaking and showing less
number of 'sbocks' than IN plowing done
with horses. The success of the steam
plow, which Is almost assured, will faclli-
tate the bringing under cultivation of our
Immense pralries and be great aid in
expediting the developing of our agricul-
| tural resources, for 1t Is plain to be seen
| that the utmost that all our horse and on
teams can do falls far short of the demand.
Four dollars per acre is being offered
| for breaking and yet the offer goes un-
| TAKE n for the a L of teams. Immigrants
III u.d bring all the teams they ca.i with
them as they are better assets here than
cash in the bsUk.

Show them Around.

The Alert ishes TO suggest that some
facilities he arranged for showing stran-
gers who visit our town around. Quite a
number have come and gone who had
capital they would have invested if they
had been shown the advantages and beau
ties of the town and country. Most of
those who come here are total strangers,
both to the country and people, and if
they are any way backward about inquir-
ing for the Information they desire they
are apt to leave without it. This neglect is
not on account of any indifference to
them upon the part Of the people of
Jamestown, but 1t is more because all
are more absorbed in business than any
thing else, and PERSONS individual busi-
ness must not be neglected on any &C.
count; therefore the Alert call, attention
to This want with the hope that the board
of trade or the people through some
hand and provide a suitable way and
means of furnishing the information to
our visitors suggested. A suitable person
might prolitably be employed for that
purpose. There Will be thousands of peo
pie who will come here this summer to
see the town, of the beauties of which
they have heard so much, and the op-
portunity should not be lost to have
those strangers see them. Hundreds of
thousands Of dollars Of capital would by
this means be invested here that will
otherwise pass US by. Let some sensible
aud gcntlemanly person be employed to
escort our visitors about the .OWn and
country; one who is we'll posted in the
matter and one who is honest and truth
lul. 10 deceive stranger would be to
wrong him and in the end to damage the
town and country, which needs no greater
commentator and encomium than the
PLAN unvarnislled truth, aud any attempt
to 90 beyond that would be detected by
the slrewd stranger and counteract the
good impressions he migut otherwise have
of them. The proper person for this po
stion would be one who has no special
personal interest to subserve and one who
would show the various localities in town
where lots are for sale and the general
prices at which they are held; one who is
acquainted with the growth of the town
in the past and the advance in the prices
of lots and lands He should be person
properly commissioned for that purpose
by the Board of Trade, 50 that strangers
would know that he was not siren OF
some shark to lure them into a net. The
people in the States are so often imposed
upon by sharpers that they are wary of
strangers who propose to show them
around unless they have the credentials
from some responsible body. Let this
want he provided for in some way.

The Way It's Done.

Almost four weeks ago E. NJ. Sanford,
Esq, of Jacksonville, Ills, made a visit
