At A STAND STILL.

The an:i-Chinese movement In
this locality is now practically at a
STAND still. No white men are
Coming here to look for work, and
no Cinnamon are leaving the city
10 go elsewhere. The Mongolians
are just at present as unmOlested
as they were year ago. They
play tan. sell vegetables, wash
shirts, and their stolid faces have
ceased to wear the troubled, anx-
ions lock that marked them i few
months ago.
/ he Chinese. who can easily see
through a hole in milestone, h.
ire out the situation that the
whites are new fighting among
themselves.
1t is With regret that the APPEAL
notes this state of affairs. Hun
Cr.ds Of well meaning citizens Of
Carson made an earnest at

desirable presence of the Moncol.
ian. Old animosiiies were buried.
and these men, irrespective OF
party. put their shoulders TO the
wheel to work for the common
GOOD. 1t was then that the battle
against the Chinese was effective
ard they left the city daily, never
20 return. The League stood solid
and compact and was wacing sue
cessful warfare. In the midst IT
this the iirebrand Of politics fell
into tie League. and for some
weeks yast there has been little
else but wranrling and trouble.
Men who believed in a conserva-
tive solution If vexed question
held aloof; neighbors grew suspl
cious Of each other and the trouble
epsen6ered in the League has crept
into politics and business. One
half of the town has begun to boy
colt the other half, and as result
more money is now being sent
abroad for goods than ever before.
The whites are to day sending more
money away from this city than the
Chinese were in the habit OF send
ing. This state Of affairs means
drain upon the resources OF the
town; depreciation of real estate
and dull times, not for individual
GrmS but for every body. The
primary object of the anti Chinese
movement was 10 displaee the Chi
uese and give the positions occu-
Jied ty them to white people.
Enough Chinese were compelled to
leave here 10 give place to every
man and woman who wanted to
work. When the League reached
this pnin, it should have been con-
tent with It's good work and waited
until there were more whites who
were DESTROYS of employment.
The League made a mistake when
it passed this line and attempted
to compel people to discharge. Chi
nose when it was impossible to fill
their places with white help. The
pressure in this direction caused a
feeling against the League because
of its. dictatorial attitude. There
are men who you can lead by argu
ment who will not be coerced.
There are plenty Of men who have
never employed Chinese and do not
now employ them who are pointed
out as belonging to the "pro-Chi-
nese crowd"
There is not corporals guard in
this county today who believe ~
the Chinese, but there are hun
dreds who do not believe in the
plan now adopted by the League
to get them out.
The boycott against the Chinese,
SO far as ceasinS to pa;ronize them,
is an excellent method; but boy
colt against taxpaying, law-abiding
citizens, who have for years as
sisted in developing this country,
is rerugnant to every thinking
mans ideas of fairness. 1t only
engenders bitterness of feeling,
strife and discord in all ways det-
rimental to the best interests Of
the city.
Let every one bear in mind that
no man has any right to attempt to
run business upon which he does
