The Chinese Evil.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. PA
Times editorial says: tits difficult
for people in the East to compr,-
bend the deep-seated hatred felt
for theChinese on the Pacific Coast.
Here the number of Celestials is
limited, and the occupations they
follow conflict but seldom with the
interests of industrial labor There
every branch of industry feels the
oppressive influence Of their COM
petition. The evils of such a con-
ditlon are apparent to thinking
readers, and when magnifed and
distorted By reckless fanatics of the
Dennis keacney class, who thrive
on the suffering and misery of the
people, it is not surprising that the
settled discontinuement should
sometimes break into violence.

The Reveille has the following to

1t must he apparent to anyone
who has paid much attention to the
stock market that it has ceased to
be paying investment for any body
except the favored few w:so put up
the ioes and reap the decats which
toe credulous public have for
thirty years poured into their laps.
The time once was when an out
slider had some show, but that was
before the manipplators had gotten
the thing down to fine point, be-
fere they got to mixing worthless
county rock with the good ore in
order to let the mills eat up all the
profits; before she big guns got to
running over everybody who hap
pened to be iR their way; before
they had ceased to dispute with
each other for the mastery. But it
is now all changed. No longer do
we see the leaders disputins for the
control of+any property. They seem
to have peeled their issues and have
settled deWn to a contented determi-
nation to fleece the common victim
the ,public-and add to each
others wealth by so doing. No
longer do Sharon or Jones dispute
with the Bonanza firm and run the
price o. some mine up to handsome
figures. Now all have quietly sub
sided and the public though not
bled as freely as in the lively bo-
nanza days, it is still hceced quite
libeEslly with much less show of
getting any returns.
Itis getting so now that a man
had better invest his money in a
fare game than in developing the
Comstock' One advantage the
faro game has is that there are no
assessments to pay after yeu get in.
But if any Comstock mine has
failed to levy an assessment at any
time when it has the least possible
excuse for it, We have failed to
notice it. So thoughtful lave the
manipulators been in this respect
that the mine which has not levied
assessments thick and fast is not
visible. But it would be a crime to
advise the boys to invest in the
tiger-that would be gam bling you
know
The gullible people are always
locking forward to a lively mar
ket." 1t used to be expected when
they got the 300 level opened,
then it was postponed until the g.
zoe is opened, and others intimate
that Fair will boom things just be-
fore election in order to get the
boys to feeling good and vote for
his candidates. Thus it goes. First
one excuse is hung to until it is ex-
ploded. when another is advanced
to In its turn be mistake, and so
it goes. A man may never get rich
On wages, but he has much bet
ter chance to keep even than if he
continues to contribute to the sup
port of the Bonanza Kings and

An APPEAL reporter called upon

patents are issued to the parties

Taken for q Goose.

A farmers wife had flock of geese,
the leader of which was an old gray and
white gander called Elder. He was I'M
usually large and fierce, and every
creature on the farm stood in fear of
him. The geese were kept in pasture
back of the house, and the old gander
allowed no trespassers on this territory.
Mr.. Hunt, the farmer, at one time, at
tempted to let three young steers feed in
the pasture; but he was forced to take
them out, the gander flew at them with
such fury, beating them with his strong
wings.
The entrance to the pasture where the
geese fed was dilapidated old gate.
1t was Mrs Hunts custom to feed the
geese with Mccullough every morning,
after the family breakfast.
The Elder learned to push this gate
open and come out himself, but he never
allowed one of his flock to follow him.
He would march proudly up to the back
door of the house and wait for Mrs.
Hunt to appear with the dough-dish.
When she came out he would seize hold
of her dress and escort her to the pas.
ture.
When she was not quite SO prompt as
the gander thought she ought to be. he
would give three or four pecks on the
door with his bill to attract attention.
Mrs. Hunt, at first, was amused at this
| habit of the gander's, and was quick te
respond to his call. 1t seems as If the
| gander was pleased, also, al his success
for it was not long before he would e
