TIE ANTI.CHINEsE MOVEMENT.
Expressions of the Press Concerning the
Work and Results.


Referring to the wisdom of displacement
of Chinese labor by conservative action
and wise discretion, and the elimination of
political influences and the demagogue
from the question, the San Francisco Alta
SAYS:
ave have believed that this policy car
ried out will take out of the problem the
horrible necessity for general boycott, So
cial ostracism and the internecine strife aud
perhaps bloodshed which they imply.
Some of US experienced all the terrors of
such state OF society during the war in
strong Republican communities in the
North, when we were isolated socially and
financially. and so outlawed that public
assurances were given OF Executive pardon
to any assassin that might lie in wait and
kill us We have called it horrible ne
cessty, and il is, for it means that the sick
shall be denied physic and physician, the
dying be forbidden prayers, and the dead
burial, save by the hands of their own
family. A weapon so terrible as to carry
all these possible consequences will not be
used by wise men only as an extreme re.
sort, and then all the instincts of humanity
will regret ceaselessly that greed or selfish
ness should have made it necessary, or that
party spirit is strong enough to give it the
seeming of necessity"

The Sacramento committee was the first
to take action after the adjournment of the
State Convention. We are glad to note
that its action is conservative and reason
able. 1t recommends that on and after
May 1st the members of the association
cease to patronize those who can dispense
with Chinese help and will not but post
pone the general boycott until the 10th of
November next. Every one who can
should let the Chinese severely alone from
this date. There is no use waiting until
the lst of May to begin. Now is the ac-
cepted time for that but postpone the gem
eral boycott until November. This will
give the fruit and hop menaand others who
think Chinese labor is a necessity to them
this season, an opportunity to save their
crops and make provision for a supply of
white labor before the boycott is put in
force.

We would state that we are in favor of
restriction Act, so whenever we can right
fully dispense with this labor for a better
we shall be happy to do so. But until this
times comes we will resist by every means
necessary all encroachments upon our
right and interests, in whatever shape, and
from whatever source they may come.

The Citizens Anti-Chinese Association
of Sacramento has made feast of work for
labor that was hungry for employment, but
the Association invited the Chinese to the
labor and the Chinese employers to the
profits and glories thereof
The Oroville MereuryI
The clustering anti-Mohgolian tornado
in Chico has almost spent its fury The
town is about evenly divided between the
Committee of Hundreds and the Citizens
Anh-Chinese Association. The latter held
a meeting the other night to hear from the
delegates to Sacramento, and during Il
evening resolutions were introduced sug-
costing union of The two clubs, and rec
ommending that boycotting our own
race" be not resorted to, except in an ex-
tremc case, and by way of retaliation
lTulare County Times
II our people are sincere in their opposi-
ton to the Chinese they can Danish them
by the boycott. If they can get along with
out patronizing the Mongols, they should
immediately do so; if they cannot, then
the Chinese are a necessity and the agita-
ton against them should cease.
