This is the man who poses before the
electors of Honolulu as the protector of
foreign and Hawaiian labor against
Chinese encroachment. He is a model
industrial and economic reformer. He is
hand and glove with the other members
of the Independent Opposition who
gnash their teeth because Gibson's Adj
ministration has stopped the influx of
coolies, and ordained that Chinese
laborers leaving the country shall
not have the right to return to
it. This is the objectionable sin
of the Government. If it carried out
the policy inaugurated by the planters

to China to introduce coolie labor, it
would be treated as belonging to the
elect, but being honestly bent upon pro-

a miserable existence. Let the world not
judge me too harshly. have taken three
grains of morphine. No one knows what
have suffered"
The above Is the note found on a stranger
lying on the Revere House steps Friday
evening about eight O'Clock. The man,
dressed like laborer, was taken to No. re
Engine house, where DIR. Ellis attended him
and brought him out from the effects Of the
morphine after several hours work, 20 that
in the morning he was up and in his usual
poor health. A DEMOCRAT man called on
him, when he was shown papers showing
his name TO be James Morgan, and that ne
was born in Lane county. He had in his
possession a discharge from the regular
army. 1t indicated that he had enlisted in
the regular army Nov. 2oth, 1884, at Fort
klamath, where he was stationed. He was
discharged in Oct, 1885, for disability be-
ing afflicted with sciatica, since which he has
not been able to work. His age was 81.
He said that ne had studied the matter for
some time and he had come to the concIu-
sion that he would be better dead than alive.
Morgan has brother and married sister In
Eastern Oregon. His parents are dead.

Of the gamblers were portlanders. The game
was tan, Many Of the Chinese laboFers,
who come TO the city Saturday night, lose
every cent they have made, often lacking
money to pay their return ferriage across
the river.
While going for Chinese gamblers we
suggest that there are several white deus in

There Is this point IN the matter. The
