To the dispassionate man who is familiar
with the habits of the Chinese in Califor
mia this assertion of the ministerial lect.
urer will appear more than strange, for it
is not consistent with the truth. Undoubt.
edly landlords make the most of their
rentals to Chinese, but he has observed
the habits OF the latter to poor advan-
tage who does not know that they
herd together and pack into small
space; because, first, of their ability to do
so and not die in the doing secondly, be-
cause by 60 doing they can live more
cheaply and thus underbid the white
laborer, of whom society demands differ
ent mode of living, Where the Chinese
own the land and the tenaments thereon
they herd together precisely the same as
if they were tenants, and this fact must be
known to Mr.. Lewis. In country towns,
where there is ample room, and to spare,
the Chinese manifest precisely the same
british disposition. If Mr.. Lewis knows
anything about the matter at all, he knows
and should have the common honesty to
state it, that if white laborers should herd
together in close quarters as do the Chi
nese, subsist as they do, and contribute no
more than they do to the business, trades
and vocations of others, then the white
could work as cheaply as the coolie laborer.
But let any Eastern reader who may have
heard Mr.. Lewis lecture, ask himself what
kind of contribution, intellectual or ma
terial the white laborer so living would
make to our system of civilization? What
grade of family would he raise up? On
what would he support any kind of a
family? How much would he add to the
material prosperity and advancement and
worth of community? What kind of a
citizen would ne make? What manner of
progeny would he give to the State? Let
us suppose the white carpenters, and shoe
makers, and the bakers and cooks, the
BARRIERS and butchers, and other artisans
aud men of honorable industries, to be
driven to the subsistence of the Chinese
shoemaker, and butcher, and baker, etc. /;
let US suppose our artisans to live as the
Chinese do that they might labor for
the same wage how much would it be
possible for these butchers and bakers and
shoemakers to contribute to our schools,
our homes, our trades, our militia system,
our churches, our theaters, our newspapers,
our libraries. our population, our-indeed,
to any necessity, pleasure, or other
matter, in which the citizen artisan and
trade follower may or should engage or in.
duige: And yet, there are people at the
East of broad intelligence, high culture,
generous impulses, and fsr-seeing wisdom,
who believe with Mr.. Lewis, that but for
the prosecutions of Californians the Chi
nese would have converted the waste hills
of San Francisco into a paradise" Yes,
probably Chinese paradise, patterned
after models, however, wholly antagonistic

TovsL IDEA ABOUT TIE CHINESE IN
CALIFORNIA.

Rev. V. A. Lewis lectured in Boston on
the LIST instant on "The Chinese in Cal.
ifornia. This is favorite topic with men
who make the Chinese in California a
study for all the period of time between
the arrival of one and the departure of the
next train. According to the Boston Id.
Uertiser, journal enjoying the reputation
OF being exceedingly accurate and consci-
entious in all its reports, Mr.. Lewis said
that the Chinese are most desirable class
of people for California, as things stand, 4"
and added Their treatment by the land
lords who own the property in the Chinese
quarter is oppressive, and extortionate
rents are obtained from them. These ex-
tortions in the matter of rent were
what prompted them in the first instance
to burrowing habitations under ground,
and this is the cause of their crowdine
together like animals in pen. II they
had been rightly used, and had been en-.
coursged in that manner which it would
have been good policy, SIS well as kind
treatment to adopt, they would have COW

San Francisco where they live, with houses

IMMORAL LITERATURE.

A peoples standard of intelligence and
morality is invariably regulated by the
standard of their literature. If of a low,
trifing immoral type, such will be the
character of the people among whom 1t
cIrculstes. All history, experience, and
observation demonstrates this fact. IL Is
TO be found in the rise and fall Of men and
parties, nations and dynasties. Deprive
people Of their literature and they degen-
crate into barbarism. Limit them to I'M
moral literature, and debaucf cry ard crime
are sure to overtake them sooner or later,
1t costs no more to feed a people on sound
philosophy draped in proper language, than
it does to surfeit them with cheap romance
adorned in rags and polluted in filth. But
another director replies that the public
taste requires such literature, and the
papers would not sell without it. If
this is true, it simply proves that the
public taste is perverted and public re-
form is seriously demanded. The pernici.
GUS influence of this standard of literature
may not be 80 readily detected in the
adult population as among the youth.
In the one case character is formed and
habits are fixed, while in the other char.
acter is in process OF formation and habits
may be cnangeu or luproVeu. II Vhe Iaun-
lily table or library is loaded with indecent
literature and sensational trash, the
youth of the country are not to be
blamed if they grow up to be desperadoes
and land in the Penitentisry or on the
gallows. Censure belongs not to the wrong
doors, but to the parents or guardians who
placed such temptations in their way.
There is a prevailing tendency to ignore
the wholesome restraints which character.
lied the culture of children at an earlier
period in our history, and the increase of
crime in our land is largely attributable to
this neglect in the education of children.
No feature OF domestic discipline should be
more scrupulously guarded than that which
limits the selection of family literature to
such papers and books as produce sound,
healthy, moral, social and political infiu-

and you will raise all you want, and enough
to annoy your neighbors for miles around.

some of our entsrprising frontier settlers to

INTERESTING TEST.

Cleveland and Blaine to Race From Here
Tomorrow.
The last test has not been made yet to
to see whether Blaine will get there or
whether Cleveland will be our next Presi-
dent. Pittsburg by carrier pigeons, decided
that Cleveland would beat Mr.. N1lligan,
and at Parkersburg the Blaine club beat
me Cleveland. But the nation is not salts
fed and holds its breath in suspense while
the fate of the natio is again decided. This
time an interesting test is to be made By
Mr.. Joseph Speidel Yesterday after
noon he received two homing
pigeons from Baltimore, and this
morning will loose them from the roof Of
his wholesale house on Main street, to fly
home. Of course one will be named Cleve-
lard and the other Blaine and the election
will be settled by the bird that reaches
home first
Politics aside, this wonderful homing
feature is very interesting and has been
named the sixth sense. Carrier pigeons
POSSESS it to rare degree, while cats and
'ngs have it more or less developed. 1t is
opposed these birds will fly to Baltimore
in about six hours and the race will be in
;eresring. They will be set tree at clock
ibis morning.
