eyed foreigners have few friends who de-
sire their continued presence-in the ex'
listing number, at least-in our midst. The
disposition to send the majority OF them
from the Coast back East or to China is
shared by, we might say, all. Yet there
is a determination prevalent among all
richt.thinking people to dispose OF the
heather in a civilized, legal way. Frank
Pixley discusses the situation in last
weeks Argonaut in a way that appears
to the SENTINEL as right and proper. At
least we indorse the following extract:

illegal-which are banded together to

the Eastern country. 1t would relieve
our Coast, aid the Chinese, please our
Eastern humanitarians and religious sem

that of London, we miss our guess.
Send five thousand to Boston, the
