AGAIN, THE CHINESE CUES
TION.

There is no longer white laundry
in Dayton; after two weeks trial the
parties who started it found that 1t
would not pay to do the washing at the
same rates that the Cinnamon are doing
it, and many persons refused to pay
more. Things are coming to a pretty
pass, and it looks much as though the
whites were being boycotted instead OF
the Cinnamon. There are many more
Cinnamon here now than there were at
the beginning of the agitation. They
probably came from California. There
is bu, one right way to rid this place OF
the Chinese pest, and that is for the re-
liable business men to stand in and re.
fuse to patronze anybody who employs
a Chinaman. They cannot stay long
without assistance from the whites.
Those who are engaged in the wood
business can be easily shut out, If the
United States authorizes will take ac-
ton against their chopping wood on
government land. There is not Chi.
naman in Truckee to day; there was no
trouble about Kidding that town, because
the people stood together and acted so
efectually that the strongest monied
firm had to give way or have its bust
ness ruined. Reno and Carson are max
ing lively fight to get rid Of the pest,
why will not Daytonites stand together
and demand that the Chinese mustleave?
There is not bit Of sense in making
incendisry speeches, or advocating mob
law, and those who are doing this are
injuring the cause more than they are
helping it. Let the citizens call a meet.
ing and adopt rigid measures and see
that they are carried out. All adver.
Using in regard to this matter and COM
munications will be published free Of
charge. This is all we can do to help
the cause, and tits to be hoped that some
interest will be taken in the matter by
others. Wake up business men and
consider what change there will be in
your business with half the number OF
white men working in the places of tn t
Cinnamon now here.

THE Hon. w. NJ. EvARTS is l

THE Hon. w. NJ. EvARTs is re-
ported to be the only member Of the
Senate who has heard all the speeches
that have been delivered before that
body on the silver question. When a
Senator takes the floor to deliver an
address on this subject, Mr.. Evarts al
ways takes the seat Of some other Sen
ator as near TO the speaker as he can
get, and listens with the most absorbing
attention from the first word to the last.
The pages bring in the cards Of visitors
to him, but he invariably sends out
word that he is engaged, and when a
Senator comes over to whisper in his
ear he motions him away. Nor even
will an invitation to luncheon tempt
the junior Senator from New Yoek from
his post; but he stays by with persist
ence that amazes the other Senators
and gratifies whoever is on the floor.
1t is understood that Mr.. Evarts is Civ
ing his entire time and thought to the
study Of the silver question.

prevented the relations Of landlord and
tenant from burning; so readily have
they been sundered that the tenant has
not taken pains to air his grievances.
As the ma tier stands to-day, to select
single State as an example, according
to MIR. Gill, "Whereas, the land law Oh
Illinois is made altogether for the land
lords, and by the landlords, without
single one of its thirty odd clauses that
can be construed as other than device
to secure that the tenant shall bleed to
the full nomination of his bond"

ABOUT 100 white men were EN-.
ployed by the c. & c., Roilroad Com.
pany this week in repairing the wash.
outs on the road. There were but two
or three Chinese employed. The bloat.
ed corporation actually gave the prefer.
ence to white men and filled Dayton's
saloons and boarding houses full for two
or three nights, Notwithstanding the ar.
gument by some that none but Chinese
would be employed. Superintendent
Yesington has always claimed that he
preferred white labor, and this instance
shows decidedly that he means what he
says.

SINCE the exodus Of the Chinese
from Tacoma, w. T., there have been
but two applications for county relief
by white persons, while during the nine
months prior to the enforced exodus of
the Mongolians, sixty.one applications
had been made.
