America without a metropolis.

&AANA RIM y
America has no real metropolis. New
York. Of course, zones nearest it, but,
though II is our biggest city, il is far
from bearing the relation to the nited
States that London does to Angland or
Paris I rance. 1t does not absorb the
best brains and energy Of the country.
Boston, Baltimore, rhila ielphia, Chi
a and half a do Ell other towns have
enough to oder their sons to make il
worth their while TO stay at home and
turn their industry to the aggrandize-
ment of their own city.
New York is not national. IL be-
longs TO the New Workers, though in a
far less degree than Boston to tne Bos-
tonians or the Quaker city to the Phila-
delphians; and it is very hard to make
the people of the nation take hold OF
an enterprise that has its roots in New
5 ork and nurse It as their own. Mir.
Nanderbilts obelisk belongs to New
York, and so does NJ. Bartholdi's brazen
image, and the feeling about both OF
these objects was that this city was big
enough and rich enough to pay for her
bric.a-brao without outside assistance.
II there had been oom on \ anhattan
island for Albany and Washington, and
If those cities and their properties and
appendages had been set down there, II
would have gone far to make every
American feel that when he struck The
Fifth Avenue hotel he was at home.
But Washington is not on Manhattan
island. nor does the capitol look down
from Murray hill. ew \ ork is a great
market, and not much more.

Of similar acts BY citizens Of China, al

need not tell you, he continued. that
satire is a very potent weapon with the
Chinese diplomatist, and | have already
heard the remark that the Chinese min
lister will be exceedingly gratifed when
he knows that there are post routes in
the ~neighborhood Of the assaulted labor
ers which require the presence of the
United States troops to keep them under
protection. If his countrymen cannot be
protected, it will be a pleasure for Ching
Yin Huan to hear that the government
mail routes are protected. Though this
act of friendship on the part Of the United
States is not of treaty obligation. you
can imagine how the members of tho lega-
ton are provoked to scornful laughter
when they read the orders of the war
department to Gen. Schofel about the in
reference in the affairs Of the territory

The fact cannot be disguised that there
is great danger of n coal famine in this
territory, unless the companies operating
the mines are protected in continuing
work with the forces now at their COM
mand. 1t would be impossible to secure
a sufficient number of experienced miners
of the Caucasian race at this time of the
year to produce the coal demanded for
the use Of the Union Pacific railroad and
its branches, the Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern, as well as the supply Of
coal needed for home consumption and for
the mines and smelters in Idaho.and Mon
tana heretofore supplied from the mines
at Rock Springs and Almy. The demand
for coal at this time is very great and in
c~reasing daily. One single contract with
a smelling company at Butte City. Mont,
calls Tor ten cars OF coal per day. For the
past week but little coal has been mined
at the principal mines owned by the
Union Pacific, and it is impossible to say
how soon work will be resumed. 1t is re
ported that the military forces. under Col.
Anderson, have been instructed to protect
all the employees of the mines Of Evans.
ton and Almy, and if that is the case, con-
fidence may be re-established and work 90
on as usual. But will this be Of lasting
benefit Unquestionably not, unless a
permanent post should be established at
the mines, which is not likely. With the
withdrawal of the troops, the crimes com
mitted at Rock Springs are liable TO be re-
peated, unless all the white men hereto
fore employed at the mines, excepting the
Mormons, are discharged and sent out of
the territory. Our readers must admit
the situation is n serious one. There is a
deep-rooted feeling against the Coolies
which will never be cradicatcd. At
the same time all fair minded
people will agree that the heather
foreigners should be protected in
their lives and property and the right
to work to obtain Il livelihood, so long as
they are here in accordance with law and
treaty stipulations. This protection the
United States government is bound to
render, no matter what may be the opin-
ion of Wyoming people on the subject
The large number OF men employed in
the coal mines, 1000 at Evanston and 700
at Rock Springs, cannot be replaced by
white men experienced in mining, in time

The correspondent OF the New York
Herald telegraphs as follows from Wash

A gentleman familiar with the affairs
Of the Chinese legation says Ever since
the last treaty with China was proclaimed
the officers Of thst government ip the
United States have carefully preserved a
record Of all outrages committed on the
Chinese in this country, together with
afidavits aud evidence such as diplomatic
agents are expected to get when required
to do 40. to furnish their government with
positive proof Of the wrong alleged.

TIE COST,

Eastern newspapers are engaged in fig
uring up the cost of the murders, rob
berry and riot al Rock Springs to the ma
tional government. Their figures differ
widely, some estimating a total of mil
lions. We will give them a few data that
will enable our brethren to approximate n
little closer All Cinnamon at work in
the Wyoming coal mines belong to one or
another of the Chinese Six Companies,
commercial houses in San Francisco that
have branches or agents in China and in
this territory, and which have great in
luence on account Of their wealth with
the home government If China inter
poses with a bill of damages it will be on
account of the company or companies in
terested, and a moneyed consideration will
be demanded. The prices for Cinnamon
run from $500 to 5000 per head. About
800 is the sun which one company pays
to another when n murder is committed.
The damages due for the number killed
about ffty-can be easily adjusted; the
great trouble will be to estimate the loss
Of property and the damages for driving
the Chinese away, thus breaking the con
tracts for labor with the coal mining com
pany. But at best il will be merely a
question Of money, which Uncle Sam will
readily pay, if for no other reason than to
prevent the Chinese from rctaliating
upon Americans now travelling or engaged
in business in China The Chinese, OF
properly speaking the ordinary Coolies, il
this country cost the importer about s20
