are quite angry because the bill does
not reduce internal taxes So goes
the political world in the United
States.
We have often called the attention of
the public to the merits of the ORR
an1 Monthly. The O5eyland is dis
tinctively an American magazine Of the
best type, and it is upon real merit that
it has placed itself in the lead with its
wealthier rivals in the United States
and elsewhere. The contents of the
March number fully bear out the above
remarks. The first fifteen pages Of
this number are taken up with four
well written papers on the Chinese
question as it affects the Pacific
Coast, viz. "rhe Knights Of Labor
on the Chinese Labor Situation" by
w. w Stone, "a Prophecy Partly Full
filed" by P. S. Dorney, "The Tacoma
Method" by George Dudley Lawson,
and The Sequel of the Tacoma
Method" by an anonymous writer.
The first article explains and defends
the position taken up in convention by
the Knights Of Labor. From one
thing especially" says the writer,
"should the laborer be shielded, and
that is from the operation of the com
petitiye system Under the working
of this industrial curse, the muscle of
the human being is put up at kind OF
an auction, in much the same way that
the old slave was knocked off the block.
+ 4 With Caucasians only to con
front on this point, we enjoy reason
ably sure prospect of eventually gain
ing a triumph but with horde Of
people in our midst, whose education
from the cradle units them to mingle
with us as equals in industrial marts,
the outcome is not SO encouraging"
Practical illustrations of the results of
Chinese labor on the Pacific Coast
follow, together with valuable statistics
and correspondence. The second
paper sets forth the following prophecy
extracted from the Senatorial commit
tees report on the "Chinese Evil,'
which was published in California in
1854;
"The Chinese are destructive to the best in
terests Of the State, and dangerous 10 its peace
They comei not as irecmen, but as serfs and
hirelngs OF a master. Ii needs no Solomon
TO predict the result disputes will take place,
and blood will flow, to be followed by the ex-
pulsion Of population who will be driven
from the state by violence instead Of law.
The paper then rehearses the Los
Angeles massacre Of 1871 as a partial
fulfllment of the prophecy. The
Tacoma Method" Of getting rid Of the
Chinese is next given as an illustration
of the peaceful means, and is followed
by "Sequel to the Tacoma Method
which shows that the so-called method
''has borne its legitimate fruitage al
Seattle, in Caucasian blood spilled in
the streets, citizens imprisoned, and
the business of the city turned upside
down under stress of martial law" Ii
may justly be said that in treating
of national and sectional matters, the
OtsylaRd has for long time surpassed
most OF its Eastern rivals The library
department of the O1eylaAd is al the
same time fully kept up and the Ameri-
can tendency Of the magazine is ex-
hibited in the following papers; "Ex
plorations in the Upper Columbia
Country" "The Last Journals Of a
Pioneer" "a Winter among the Piutes,
Problems Relating to the Giant Trees,
etc. We heartily recommend the O0ey
land MOnfhLy to Hawaiian readers in
point Of interest in continually discuss
ing matters which are cloIely related tc
our own social and political institu
tiOns.
