Chinese LabOrers.

E. Y. Smalley's paper i'll the February Cen
tury on Features Of the New Northwest"
There is mistaken notion in the East
that the Chinese are always humble and
submissive, and much put upon and
abused by the whites of the Pacific coast
There was time when the hoodlums Of
San Francisco maltreated the ASiatic i'm
migrants shamefully, but that stime has
gone by. Now the Chinaman appears to
be as secure in his rights of person and
property az anybody. Instead of being
deferential and timid he is often pushing
and insolent He does not give way in
the street. He hustles you as rudely as
an English navy. A body of Chinese la
row street will crowd ladies
into the gutter. The Chinese mer-
chants, doctors, and others belonging to
the better classes, are as polite as French
men, but the masses of the Chinese pop
ulation on the Pacific coast are rude and
brutal. The chief thing in their favor is
their habit of personal cleanliness. The
railroad laborers VINO are the poorest
and most ignorant class, wash them
selves from head to foot at the end of
each days work. All classes are fire.
Quent customers of the barber, gives mi
mute attention to their heads, faces, ears,
and necks.
Among the common laborers there is
little SYMPATHY for sick and injured com
rades. TIA man is likely to become a
burden, the other members of the gang
want to get rid of him as soon as posi-
bic. 1t is commonly believed by the
white bosses ON the railroads that tie
Chinese doctors put sick men out of the
way by poison when they think
they can't be speedily cured.
A case was told me in Oregon of
Coole railway laborer who had an arm
broken, 1t was set by the company's
doctor and was doing we'll, but the man IS
comrades insisted on bringing Chinese
doctor to attend him. The doctor came
from distant camp and gave the patient
q dose. In an hour the poor fellow was
dead. In such cases there is no investi-
cation; nobody cares that there is one
Chinaman less. The death of a cart
horse is of much more consequence. One
great difficulty the employers of Chi
nese laborers have to contend with is the
superstition of thesepueer people. Their
religious worship consists chiefly in pro-
pitiating the malevolent spirits of the
