Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-12-06

Defaulter Howgate is said to
yearn to return to this country. 1t
is strange the passion which all men
who misappropriate money have fof
getting to the place where they
committed the crime. The Tweed
conspirators who escaped to Europe
were wretched in exile, and the
major part of Eno's colony OF for
gers and embezzlers in Canada
would gladly return across the Dor
der were they not in terror OF the
law. One would imagine that exile
would be welcome to such men,
and that forgetfulness would be
their chief desire; but experience
has shown that it is not so.

William A. Scott Of Erie, Penn,
is reported to be the richest man
that will have a seat in the next
House Of Representatives. His
wealth is estimated at $12,000,000.
He was page in the House when
Webster, Clay and Calhoun were
still active at Washington. Mr..
Scott is a Democrat, and about for
ty-fve years of age.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

The representatives of the
Knights of Labor in the San Fran
cisco convention passed a resolu-
ton notifying the Chinese to leave
the Pacific Coast within sixty
days.
The vote stood about 3 to 2 in
favor of the resolution, and created
warm discussion in the conven-
ton. After the vote was an
nounced, the delegates of one
branch of the organization left the
hall and withdrew all connection
from the organization, on the
grounds that such a resolution
meant bloodshed and force and
they would not countenance it.
The Knights of Labor have made
a serious mistake in passing this
resolution, if it means that they
propose to resort to armed force to
drive the Chinese from the Coast.
When the time expires covered
by the resolution, and the Chinese
are still here, one of two things
must happen; the Knights must
take the field and begin the work of
forcible expulsion. or back ssuaerly
down and leave the Mongols in po-
session.
The resort to force would almost
inevitably bring the Knights of
Labor face to face with the mill
tary force of the United States, as
the Government would feel bound
to protect the legal rights of the
Chinese, and the failure to resort
to force would be a great loss of
prestige to the organization.
There is no doubt that the labor
ing classes of the country have
great cause for grievance by reason
of the invasion of cheap labor. and
still more for the corruption in
high official circles, by which the
importation of Chinese continues,
despite the stringent provisions of
the Restriction Act.
The Act has become a dead let
ter by reason of the corrupting in
fuences of Chinese money, and to-
day is not worth pinch OF snuff
to accomplish the purpose for
which is alleged to have been de-
signed.
The solution of the problem of
clearing the country of the Chinese
is as far from being solved as ever.
There are several plans which work
splendidly THEORETICALLY, but they
do not seem capable of practical APP
.plication.
The Chinese are here; they are
still coming daily; they are
multiplying in our midst, and they
do not loose a single inch of foot
hold gained. They stay here be-
cause they are patronized, and they
will continue to stay as long as they
are patronized. As long as we get
our shirts washed by Cinnamon be-
cause they are cheaper, as long as
we buy vegetables of them, and as
long as we continue to purchase
articles of their manufacture, just
so long will they stay, and thrive
and grow fat upon the meager
profits of their in dustries.
The citizens as mass must be
aroused to full sense Of the dan
ger or there will oe blood
shed and riot everywhere west OF
the Rocky Mountains, and if their
influx continues many years longer
there will be riot and bloodshed in
Massachusetts as we'll as in Califor-

General "RuneY" Lee.

A writer ia the Petersburg Inder-Appeal
says:
Gen. W. II. +. Lee, or "Runey" Lee, as
he is generally called, is the second son Of
General Lee He is a successful farmer in
Fairfax; his wife is the beautiful, intelIi-
gent and accomplished daughter of the late
Hon. George w. Boiling, of Petersburg.
Gen. Lee is man of liberal means, and ka
vensworth, bis residence, is one of the hand
soonest and best preserved places in the
State. He has served his district in the
the State Senate, is gentleman Of fine ed
ucation, great intelligence, force Of charac-
ter and public spirit. He is a vigorous, for
chile speaker, possessed OF sound, mature
Judgment, and is the man of all others best
suited as the candidate in the coming cam
vass and for the Office of governor of the
commonwealth Like his great father, his
lnodesty is as we'll known as his merits in
all other respects; but for this he would
have unquestionably been the conservative
nominee in 1877, but ever willing TO sac
ri6ce himself in the supposed interest
of his friends, he refused the use of
his name before the convention, but
his friends arc now resolved to
present his name to the convention and they
urge the devoted admirers of his great
father-immortal Robt. E. Lee-whose
worthy son he is, TO assist in paying this
tribute to the memory of our second Wash
ington. What greater monument of the
love and affection of Virginians for their
late idolized leader could they present to the
world, than with one voice in the conven.
ton to assemble to select his son for the
highest Office in their gift. Gen. Lee does
not seek this or any political position, but if
nominated he would not decline. More
than this, he would make such canvass as
would insure majority equal to that given
for General Kemper in 1S73-some $4,000.
AS have said, he is forcible, vigorous
speaker, able and eloquent, with an unsul-
lied record and paternity that would en-
thuse every Virginian of every race. Let
him be nominated and let US teach outsiders
that his name is mot without honor in Vir-
ginia," and in doing so, we will secure the
services of one who will reflect honor upon
the position"

CAMP FIRE

Reno Post, G. A. r. of Kimball,
gave another one of their pleasant
Camp-tires at Smiths Opera House
on Tuesday evening last. A large
audience assembled to listen to the
exercises which had been arranged
for the occasion. The program con-
sisted of a few Introductory remarks
by Commander G. j. Maynard; in
strumental music by Mrs. Bockfinger
and Miss Bockfnger, two pianists
whom it is always a treat to listen to;
recitations by Miss Smith and w. T..
'Fhorndyhe; readings by Miss Gertie
Ross and G. r. Tinan, and solos by
Mrs. Mark Ward, who gracefully re-
sponded to the hearty encores. Mrs.
Wards voice loses none of Its sweet
ness and her singing was one of the
most delightful features of the eve
ming. at the conclusion of the pro-
gram proper the audience adjourned
to the room below and partook of a
sumptuous lunch of pork and beans.
bareback and coffee provided bp the
Post. Dancing in the hall then fol
lowed and was enjoyed by a large
number until a late hour.

THE FAIR.

The fourth annual fair Of the Brule
County Agricultural Association
opened on Monday last. Owing to
the short announcement and made
quate advertising the exhibition and
attendance was not up to that of for
mer years. The racing entries were
few, because of the idea generally en-
tertained that no fair was to be held
this year. An agricultural fair
should be announced by an associa-
ton at least two months in advance.
This with the aid of the local papers
in the interval preceding the exhi-
bition will create an interest that is
felt. The above association waited
| until but a few weeks since before
making the slightest preparations. 1t
is not surprising, therefore, that the
fair in Kimball this year is not what
the friends of the association could
wish. However, in the years to come
we will have some fairs that will be
worthy of our county and Dakota.
and in this reflection we can well af-
ford to overlook the exhibition this
year, which under all the circumstan-
ces had better not been attempted.
Through the exertions of some of
the enterprising ladies of Kimball the
main building presented quite an at
tractive appearance. The display of
fancy work, paintings etc. was excel.
lent. An exhibit of minerals, furs,
and implements, gathered by E. G.
Smith in Alaska and Yellow Stone
Park, attracted a great deal of atten-
ton. Mrs. IL. G. Mason also had a
fine collection of minerals. The dis.
play of grains was A No. l.
Two races took place on the track
Tuesday. A half mile dasI, for ponies
was won by Gilman's "Topsy." A
half mile and repeat running race
was won by Burns "Buckskin." The
race Wednesday, half mile and repea'
was won by "Buckskin."
