lulu's most gifted citizens, and
bard before whose caustic wit and
vivid imagination Shakespeare and
Milton pal into insignifcancc, thus
turns himself loose on a suffering
and noffensive community.
o Rulers, beware, or there may be day
When the Mongols shall stand in de-
llant array
To sheer at your power and lcer at
your laws,
And you find yourselves like the poor
cat without claws.
Legislators, it is my most humble opin.

That something must shortly be done
Or the Chinese infcsiing our glorious
Kingdom
viii force us to pack up our cloth
ing and run.
Our position is truly alarming,
It's useless denying the fact,
And the people are looking TO you,Sirs,
To rise in your wisdom and act
Our merchants are loudly complaining,
And tradesman are pushed to the wall.
Good workman are living on suction,
And business lies under n pail.
Some claim it is wrong for the white
man
To say that the Chinese ghonld 90,
And pretend that the pig tail Celestial
With the Saxon should have equal
show
But those man who pirate in this manner
Have axes or sugar to grind,
And in their hot haste after dollars
They leave love Of Country behind.
! hold II is wrong to uphold them
Against any race on this Earth,
They are hcathenish in their religion,
And Social Pariahs from brit.
They strangle OF drown female infants,
And seem to care only for males,
And this the class, selfish planters
Would weigh against us in the scales.
The Chinese flock here not to settle,
But to grab what they can and return;
They are up to all lawless devices,
And health regulations they spurn
To them is ascribed that dread evil
Which scgregates natives by scores.
And keeps away hundreds Of Tourists
Who would add to the wealth OF our
shores,
They invciglc our native wahines,
And marry to cirCumvent law,
They skip away to first wife
With a spu r littla ustaLn ~ IL, that
Their clothing and food comes from
And what they don't bring here they
raise!
Now, what does the nation gain by them
Or what can be said, in their praise?
They mix up vilainous poison,
which is sold to the natives for gin
yet none of our temperance martyrs
Endeavor TO stille this SIM
They are thinkers, tailors and cobblers,
Carpenters, blacksmiths and cooks,
And on some of our sugar plantations
They are making or setting up shocks
They are docile and tidy as servants
So long as there's something to learn
But they soon become filthy and saucy
And steal twice as much as they earn.
do not object to their working,
And boarding part of their pay,
But they drain every industry dry, Sirs,
And send all the proceeds away
They freeze to our gold Just like leeches,
And send ii post haste TO their kin;
And the way they are Fleeing the ma

| vow it's shame and sin,
The unschoolcd Hawaiian is simple,
And can't see an inch from his nose
To-day Lo Chun Ming takes his house lot,
Tomorrow his tarow.patch goes
wish there was some way to save him
From loosing his home and his food;
And leaving himself and his off spring
In state which for rhyme | call nude.
We have too many Cinnamon here, Sirs,
And those of the very worst kind;
The land is infested with sneak thieves.
Who peddle small wares for blind.

But ninty per cent of them are
and the rest come so near being added
They should not be offered at par.
Don't look on and say you can't help it.
If you have will theirs a way.
We can stand just few of the best ones,
But drive all the worst ones away!
To do this, make laws and enforce Them,
Compelling all dlers to work,
Make your sluggish Policeman keep
posted
On places where criminals Turk.
BE just as severe on Celestials
Who are caught selling gin on the sly,
As Won are on 1.-The licensed saloon mon
