Southern Pacific, and as both roads are
wealthy. to predict where it will end, is
ditlicult--possibly in the beggary OF one
of the roads.
Recently, we had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. J. l.. Loomis, his wife, and
their daughter, Miss Jennie. Mr.. L. was
originally from Ashtabula county, Ohio,
but lately of Wisconsin. Mrs. l.. is a
sister of Mr.. Jeans, of Utman, Jeans &
Co., of Hillsboro, o. They have bought
farm near Pomona, all choice land, and
a fine location. 1t is well improved, all
OF it being set to orange, apricot, peach
and pear trees. We predict it will be
one OF the finest places in the valley.
We give Mr. Loomis a hearty welcome
to our number, and they expect to re-
turn to occupy this place next Septem-
Der.
While we rejoice in, and, may be in
clined to boast of our beautiful and
pleasant land, we are troubled very
much with the Chinese question. The
Knights OF Labor, a. o. U. W. and such
organizations are .tedruUy mad at the
poor Chinaman. AS one of our journals
expressed 1t, "In the dark ages, If the
strong wish to rid themselves of the
weak, they killed them. But the secret
labor organizations propose method of
torture for the Chinaman, viz: Starve
him." And if any dare to take the
Chinaman's part, they boycott him, too.
Tue Chinaman, as he comes to us, is
an Objectionable feature. If he had a
wife an children, he left them in the
Celestial Empire. He comes to US iso.
lated and alone, with the full intention
Of following his own heathenish ideas
and practices.
The clothes he wears, his shoes and
often his hat, were shipped from China.
He prefers that the rice he eats (Which
is his staple article Of diet,) shall come
come from the Aowery land. By no
means does he want to encourage Ameri.
can industries, by using our products
but he wants what he consumes to bene-
fit and pay the laborers of China, and
he lays up what he can earn, to take or
send back to China. One way OF look.
ing at this is all right. But, if he
brought his family, declared his inten.
ton of becoming citizen of America,
we ought to give him room. If we
could not reach HIM, we could reach and
Americanize his children, or coming
generations. We must say this: He is
not lazy and he is provident. Living
in the cheap way described, from five
to score or more huddling into one
little apartment, he ran work for small
wages and save money; and rather than
be out of work, he aciH accept low wages.
But when he hunts for work, he is not
wishing that his efforts will be in vain.
He is an oppression to the laborer who
wishes to live in decent manuer.
But are not ourlaborers plunging them.
selves into vortex Of trouble? Must
they not realize that when labor and
capital are in conflict, that success is
likely to be lost? Capital must be, is in
measure, independent. While they
are dependent on each other, capital
surely has the advantage. Not but that
the honest and honorable poor man is
worthy of fully as much respect and con.
fidence as the one of like qualities who
may be worth his millions.
The man who inherited only his hands
and his head, and who has, by adversely,
through sickness, or whatever uncon-
trollable cause, only been able to support
himself and family, should have the
best opportunities possible given him.
But the poor man, who is poor because
he has seen the dram.shop or gaming
table too often, or spent his substance
in riotous living, or to come down even
to tobacco and cigars, give him what
help your conscience tells you that you
should give. I have known men, who,

careful industry.
But what benefit il it to Join Labor
Society? Suppose after moro mature
thought, you wish you had not done so
Where is your respite? Go where you
will, il such an order exists there, you
may count on it you will get no work, il
you have discarded your order. I know
many who, when employing laborers, il
known to them, will not employ mar
who belongs to a labor society. Such
will become more and more the case
Capital will be driven to protect itself
and it can do it.
