The Non-Partisan Anti-Chinese Conven-

Speaking of the use of Winchester rifles
by the strikers at Fort Worth, the Santa
Cruz Sentinel says, when of those rifles
cracked it was signal to the whole United
States that Anarchy had assaulted Law.
That instant every good citizen was ar
rayed, or should have been arrayed. against
the assailants of the common veal. The
questions of justice or injustice based upon
alleged violations of civil contracts relating
to labor and its employers, sink out of
sight, and become utterly insignificant in
presence of the oversbadowing question of
Law and Order"
They who started in to expel the Chinese
| from the canneries on the Columbia river
were obliged, after the agitation" had pro-
ceeded some length, to admit that the can
neres could pack no fish if the Chinese did
| not remain, but that the result of their ex-
| pulsion would be to throw large numbers
OF white men out of employment and cause
great loss to business and thereupon thew
desisted, induced thereto partly by sums of
money, which the leading agitators" put
into their pockets as the fruit of blackmail.
So tie Chinese are to st;y, confessedly for
the reason that the fish packing industry
can't go on without them.--[The Orego-

The Colusa Sun. speaking against the
boycott, says: The individual right of
the American citizen must not be abridged.

Unreasoning discomfort. founded upon
