Chinese Question in California.

When the ten-year act, restricting
the importation of Chinese labSfers to
tlr*s country, was passed and sigfed, we
said it would do great deal of food, if
the people Of this coast renamed watch
| full and determined to insist upon its en-
fOrcement and were true to themselves
in discouraging by every means within
their power the employment of Ito
coolies.
We know that there is a class of men
in this country, very wealthy and very
| intlential, who would be glad to see the
white mechanics, and laborers generally,
| reduced to such condition of poverty,
and dependence upon the will ofgreat cap
| italists and monopolists, chat they would
not have the spirit or the organization to
resist any oppression which might be
imposed upon them.
And these men know that they could
have no more effective means of reduC-
ing the white workingmen to the required
level of degradation and humility than
enforced competition with Chinese cool
| les. For 1t is we'll known that The eX-
istence of class of degraded or enslaved
labOrers, in any community, tends to the
degradation and enslavement of those
other classes of labOrers who are brought
into competition or even contact with 1t.
And, therefore, we hold and declare
that those capitalists, monOpolists, and
employers who seek to bring white la
borers into enforced competition with
Chinese coolies, and those other capital
lists, monopolists and employers who
seek to degrade white Iaborers, by open
Iy or secretly opposing their organization
for mutual protection and advancement
are alike enemies Of free labor, and
lovers of serfdom, haters- of1he-free
white citizen workingmen and admirers
of Cheap and docile John" We care
not whether it be Jay Gould, expressing
the telegraph operators, or the railroad
monopolists importing thousands OF
Cinnamon to underwork and drive out
white laborers, or Fitch & Pickering
tyrannizing over their compositors and
forbidding them to organize for their
own protection, under penalty Of dis
| charge-we maintain that all such men
seek to degrade and impoverlsh white
labor and TO reduce it to the cooiie level
of cheapness and humility. They hate
the spirit of the free white man, his ten
dency to organize and resist oppression,
worse than they hate his demands fol-
decent wages-but they would be glad
to have the white man but cheap and
docile, and they are doing all in thell
4 power to make him 80. <
Judges, United States attorney generals
custom officials, capitalists, menopollsts
and greedy tyrannical employers, Dig
and little, may do all in their power tf
encourage the importation of eoolles
and the degradation of white mechanics
and laborers-but, if the white mechan
ics and laborers, the white working
classes will only be true to themselves
thov can defend their own rights, pre-
serve this country from Chinese occupa
ton and leave it, free and prosperous

be can be accommod dated with a chair in
the Office for few hours for the purpose
'ofsatisfying himself Of the correctness of
the statement.
It is more than likely that the new
phase of the labor situation" unearthed
by the Tribune was found in glass of
rotgut on the counter Of the Press Club"
saloon.
At all events, no particular harm is
done, as the labor exchanges win make
a note Of the statements contained in
this article, and thereby defeat any
damage which might be done by rush
OF workingmen to this city now. As for
the effect of the Tribune's article upon
those who are already here, it can't hurt
them, and meme ofthem will feel badly
about the insinuations thrown out. They

1t has been habit of long practice
with ex-special officers who pilot visitors
through the Chinese quarters to include
in the list of attractions bawdy- houses,
where the sightseers are Introduced to
spectacles not in strict keeping with
decency. This state Of affairs has been
stopped by Chief Crowley, who has
ordered the arrest of llwhites who may
be seen to enter these houses, the inmates
being also included in the ban. Two
reasons are ls lhsss. l. issssss
which Wgro mad IL the represei ltations
| of the Chinese consul and merchants
first, the desire of the chief to break up
the practice of outsiders acting as guides
and showing strangers these indecent
shows; and secondly, the desire Of the
respectable portion of the Chinese COM
munity to have the eastern visitors now
in the city not to know the extent Of
prostitution among the Chinese.
1t seems to Truth most infamous that
the chief of police of this city should
enter into an arrangement with the
Chimes Six Companies, to prevent the
truth from being known to the people
There is a law against these houses
and the reason that they are not closed
is because some one in the police depart
ment draws regular monthly revenue
from the poor women as price for al
lowing them to ply their trade.
But since it is fact there are 1900
Chinese prostitutes in this city, why not
let it be known.
Is it because it might draw public at
tention to the matter, cause the places to
be closed and some Of the revenue Of
certain officials to be curt allied ?
Truth charges that the Chiefof Police
shows by his action that he desires to
aid in creating such an eastern sentiment
as will prevent any new guards being
placed around the restriction act, and
will permit this coast again to be flooded
with Mongolians.
And Truth warns the chief Of police
that such a course is fraught with dan
GER to himself as well as to the working
people of the state.-San Francisco
