plants revived about their filthy habits. vices
and wicked thrift against which last the report of
the special committee offers some curious rem edies
The committee hold that Chinese immigration

Chinese to live less economically. In their own

conclusion the soundness of which may be
accepted. But 1t cannot DO said that the general
outcome of the new report promises much If any
thing toward the solution of the Chinese problem.
1t is marked by wild Western sentiment which
too constantly ignores National authority. and aims
at settling matters in slap-dash way which could
not but invite difficulties. There is much to regret
in tho facts set forth in the report and no little
cause for community anxiety in some respects; but
it IS too apparent that the committee was not intel
lectually competent to deal with the question, upon
which, after all its labor, no new light has really
been thrown

highly favorable to tho grant, and OF which Mr.
Barlow sucaks, was published in The TRIB-

Mr.. Barlow or Mr.. Bayard, that the Secretary

are 629,918 depOsitOrs, and the average sum to
