SAYS AN EXCHANGE: "The Chinese
authorities are keeping account of
the loses of their people by the Paci-
fic Coast mobs, and will make claims
after q while for reparation. The
bill so far amounts 10 half million
dollars. Rather costly sport" Well,
when the Government finds the
Chinese too expensive TO keep,
perhaps it will conclude to have
them depart in peace. Moreover,
if it settles the Chinese accounts &C.
cording to their sworn stateme nts,
without rebutial testimony, it will be
amazed at the wealth of the Gel.
es!ials. The truth is that unless
ficticious damages are swarded them
for interference with and curtailing
their business, the Chinese loses
will amount 10 a mere bagatelle.
They have very little property, and
do not desire any more. Their earn
ings are not invested in property.
They are converted into cash, and
the cash sent TO China.

many lawyers is simply execrable.
Many cannot write page OF fools

big practice and reputed full Of learn
ing-use very bad grammar. Near.
ly all OF them use too many words,

They seem to be infatuated with re.
dundancy aud tho sound of their own
voices, and while they are shrewd in
other respects, cannot see precisely
when they tire the judge and bore
the jury. Law is. however, COM
posed largely of precedent and ver-
bosity, and the lawyer is never salts
fed with . statement OF a fact until
he has used up the dictionary on il.
Preachers run to words, too; but tho
principal fault with their manu-
scripts is too much italics. The use
of this means of emphasis in writing
is an evidence of weakness on the
part of the writer. When o man
can't get the right word, he is apt to
use the best he can think OF and
put stroke under it for emphasis.
The right word doesn't require special
emphasis once in q thousand times.
Women are also inclined TO use to
much italics. The best men in the
medical profession generally write
very correctly; but there are few who
rank as good doctors who are not
good writers, in the sense OF using
good English.

Attack on the Northern Pacific.

After careful consideration of the
subject the st. Louis Pioneer Press
has reached the conclusion that the
antipathy manifested in and out of
Congress to the Northern Pacific is
"public opinion" manufactured by
Jay Gould, c. P. Huntington and
Leland Stanford, the creators and
managers of the biggest and most
powerful monopoly ever created.
"But for the Northern Pacific these
men would be absolute dictators of
transcontinental business. They
manage the Southern Pacific. Their
names are first among the directors
OF the Atlentic & Pacific and the ST.
Louis & San Francisco. By stealthy
inroads or bold and sudden strokes,
by the wrecking devices with which
they are familiar, by every method
known to railroad manipulation, they
have succeeded in making their own
every outlet 10 the Pacific Coast save
that which reaches Portland. They
have extended and enlarged their
system until it reaches from ocean
to ocean, and their trains run from
San Francisco and Santa Monica and
San Diego TO Newport News. 1t is
The No, tbern Pacific which is thorn
in the side and the only free CON-
petitor of this grasping and conti-
MENTAL monopoly. 1t is this compet-
itor thar they seek 10 embarrass by
measure which, unjust in itself,
would if successfully accomplished
ruin rival aud force it into bank
ruptcy. * X That this is the
controlling influence behind the
continued assault upon the credit
and existence of the Northorn Paci-
fic no intelligent man can doubt.
With it once ruined and its depre-
ciated stock made an easy prey, the
whole of the vast transcontinental
business of the company would be
at their dictation, and the most ex-
tensive and graspius monopoly that
The world ever saw would be COM
pletely established. There need be
little fear, except for the enormous
influence which these men can
bring 10 bear in Congress and the
courts, that their plan can ever be
carried through. The case of the
Northern Pacific is O clear one. lis
rights have been admitted, they rest
upon clear decisions Of the Supreme
Court; it is impossibly that any for
feiture bill can ever be forced
through both Houses, and impossi-
BILE that unbought judges should
sustain it. Not for any present
emergency, but for clear compre-
hension of the case as it is, for
just public knowledge of the infu-
en- ces that are at work, and for
righteous appreciation of the worth
of those men who lend themselves
to this scheme of the millionaires
under cover of pretended careful
ness for the public rights. the plot
should be exposed. The war upon
the Northern Pacific is the battle of
an unprincipled syndicate now pos
sessed of every other transcontinental
route. The men upon whose votes
they count are either the ignorant
or the willing tools of the greatest
and most justly odious monopoly
that ever swelled lis profits by grind
ing the people and fleeing any gov
ernment of this country"

We are growing weary of the
great ado about boycotting the Chi
nese out of the country made by q
certain class who will not boycott the
Chinese themselves; made by class
who, while loudly protesting that
they want the Chinese to leave, and
believe in employing only the peace
ful method of boycotting to induce
them to 60, at the same time prove
by th'ir action that in reality they
do not want the Chinese to leave.
and are unduly exerting themselves
to raise an unnecessarily noisy boy
cotting hull-a-ba.loo principally for
the purpose of distracting attention
from their own falsehoods and lreach-
cry, and for preventing, if possible
effective measures for Kidding our
Territory of the Chinese curse;
made by class that would be only
too glad, if it could do so, to turn all
the anti-coolie efforts of the work
insmen into the boycotting move
ment, and then keep the coolies, or
a number of thsm, from going away
by refusing themselves to exercise
the boycott they SO loudly advise in
others; made by class whose actions
give the lie 10 their words.
II the Seattle members of this
" boycotting only" fraternity, after
discharging their Chinese at the time
of the Tacoma expulsion. and, at a
meeting in Frye's Opera House, and
ON other occasions, posing before the
public as self-sacrificing and public
spirited citizens, had been in less
haste on the arrival of Government
troops TO take their Cinnamon back
again, perhaps people would have
had little more confidence in their
sincerity. 1t is more than probable
that since that event the public gen.
orally would have had more respect
for their professions of anti Chinese
sentiment and their generously
given advice to The people of Seattle
to boycott the Chinese out of the
town, had they boycotted the Chinese
q little themselves. And this ap-
plies to other places than Seattle.
The workingmen, The people to
whom such prodigious amount of
gratuitous advice has been given re-
garding The best method getting rid
of The Chinese, were boycotting the
celestials. They preferred boycott
ting to ary other method of expel.
ling the Mongols, and were the first
to adoptit. And they will be the last
to abandon it. It was not until they
saw that, for reasons apparent to any
thinking person, it alone was not go.

they adopted other methods-me;h-
DDS that they themselves had
hoped to avoid. aud previous to the

confidently expected would not
