SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.
Pertinent Points for the Constdera-
 ton Of the 4 nti- Chl.c.e League,

this community for honesty, industry and enterprise-a>cn who have for years had the best interest of this communitv in view and were never found wanting when Called upon. This style of journalism is
 shame and disgrace, and further, il is
 time this so-called ant.Chinese league
 should call halt.
 The Territory of Arizona is unfor-
 tunatc in ore respect; ]. C., it has too many friends who. have no material in-
 terest Tn its prosperity-men who pay no
 taxes and do nothing to advance it's in. terest but talk.
 The fact is that men come here to bet ter their conditions, provided they can do so in any other way than to work
 Work don't seem to agree with many of them, and, therefore, they unite in get. ting up any kind of demonstration, and 1t IS easy to get up something to please malcontents and to divert honest men from their daily pursuits and lead them to believe they are being injured in some way or other.
 The latest is the nonsensical move against few Chinamen who happen to be here.
 It is astonishing that merchants and other sensible men should pay any at. tention to this howl against tlle few Chi. namen in this city. They are here and have been invited to come to this land "for the oppressed" as all other people have from all nations. They are here like all other foreigners under solemn treaty obligations with our government, and which our government has prom. ised not only protection, but that they shall have all the privileges that other. foreigners have. The persons who are now eng iged in this movement to ostra- cize and boycott these Chinamen, are do- ing so in direct violation Cf treaties and the laws of the land, and yet they claim to be law-abiding citizens. The subter- fuges and technicalities which are re- sorted to for the purpose of evading the law, are simply astounding
 Is il possible that this anti Chinese league and the men composing II, are not aware that they may be brought up for conspiracy? Do they know that they may be mulcted in heavy damages for injlring mans reputation or business :?
 lt they do not, they had better take good counsel before assuming to go to merchants and others demanding 10 know whether they employ Chinamen or not, and in case they do, they will put these persons or the black list Gas they call iD, and publish it.
 This dictatlon is sa un.American, and so outrageous, that in short time these people will, without doubt, regret that they ever resorted to such measures. If this league and all persons sympathizing with them, don't want to employ China men they have that right, and none will complain, but they have no right to in- 'lst that other persons shall dismiss them pr employ men according to the dicta- ion of the league, and the sooner they earn this the better it will be for all.
 Under our laws, we can employ Irish, Germans, French, English, Italians-or nen of any nationality with which this Government has treaty obligations. But o ostracize or boycott people of any nationality, with which the Government has such treaties, will put he boycotters under heavy penalty.
 These are facts which every lawyer ;nows, or ought to know.
 But aside from that, what are the citi. ems of Tombstone to gain by encourag. ng such proceedings' Are they to be eneitted by driving the few Chinamen way? These men are not interfering in olitics, or with miners, or in any kind of usness in which laborers are engaged, hey are employed principally as house ervarts, clothes-washers and in other ,feror occupations. They interfere with obody, and in their way are adding to le general prosperity of the commu. ity. If this movement has for its object le advancement of certain individuals ) office, it will certainly fail, as the bunting of the votes will disclose. lould any of those mentioned run for flee. This will be clearly demonstrated, IT the reason that the solid men in this 'nmunity have no sympathy with and ont believe in the movement.
 What Tombstone in particular and rizona in general wants, is peace within , oiderS-no associations of labor ltagonistlc to the great industry of the 'untry. We want no Indian troubles, ) contention on the Chinese question: 1t harmonious pull, and pull alto. ther for the development of the mines,
