" VINO is to furnish the MEANS" asks
the Santa Rosa Democrat of the RECORD
UNION, to send the Chinese East ?" If
it is to be State appropriation, it cannot
be had in ten or twelve months time, it
adds. Well, suppose it cannot We have
been thirty years engaged in building up
the structure of Chinese labor, and we
may not hope to break down the results of
our work in any brief time But, says the
Democrat, if the money is to be otherwise
raised, why not employ it to send the
Cinnamon out of the country For two
perfectly sufficient reasons. In the first
place, if all the Chinese in California to-
day were to sail for China tomorrow, the
Eastern sentiment would remain the same.
and forever afterward it would be insisted
that it was error to deport the Mongolians.
Secondly, the Cinnamon cannot be sent
away except in accordance with his own
desire. He will gladly and at once go
Eastward. He will not return to China
until he is ready.

half indicating that they speak this, that
or the other tongue, or that by birth or
descent their membership is in some way
related to monarchical or foreign systems.
1t is to be devoutly hoped that the day
will come, and it ought to dawn at once,
when political parties will refuse to recog-
nize or contribute to any political organ
ization whatever that bears the tag of
foreign or any distinctive nationality. An
Irish-American, or German-American, or
Franco-American, or native-American Re-
publican or Democratic organization is in
sulting to the truly patriotic American
spirit, and ought to be humiliating to all
naturalized citizens, since they become
such by choice and deliberately foreswore
allegiance to foreign Governments. Citi-
zens are Americans more, moth
ing less. There is no loftier distinction.
Any modification of the title, any prefix
ing or suffixing bclittles it. He who con-
sents to wear it with a tag upon it, con-
fesses to the insincerity Of his patriotism
Half-breed Americanism is at enmity with
the underlying principles of the Republic
1t stimulates false sentiment, divides
citizens into demoralizing antagonistic
clans and cultivates the idea that this Re-
public is nothing more than temporary
house of refuge, a mere abiding place, a
Government without cohesive power, and
composed of repellant constituents.

The Rugby colony in Tennessee was
founded on rigid temperance basis The
sale or handling Of liquor in any form was
specially forbidden in all the conveyances
and it was designed to have temperance
community there in the strictest sense.

takes the largest interest in the colony, and
who has been experimenting in every direc-
ton to find out what it is best adapted for

the thing, and is growing grapes and max

right thing, too. Here is soma of his prod

inferior to Glesler dry. But it is a pretty
good product for new soil ami new vines,

was launched as teetotal settlement, would
