SOUTHERN WOMEN.


that educated and cultivated southern
women are less able to take care Of
themselves when oVertaken BY misfor-
tune than northern women of the same
class are. The impression is not we'll
founded, and those who have it know
nothing about southern women; and
have not had access to correct sources of
information. There is another incorrect
impression entertained at the north with
respect to southern women. It is that
they do not hold labor in as much es-
TEEN as northern women do, and are not
so ready, therefore, to undertake to sup
port themselves when thrown upon their
own resources.
It's doubtful if there are in any section
of the country, in proportion to the num-
Der OF the class to which they belong,
SO many refined and cultivated women
who are earning their own support or
helping to earn it as there are in the
south. 1t is true, probably, that when
slavery was an institution. and there was
little poverty among educated people,
southern women of the better were not
often found engaged in work of any kind
that was not purel y matter of choice.
There was no occasion for them to work.
When misfortune came, however, thew
were not found wanting in any of the
qualities which were necessary to meet
the requirements of their changed con-
dition. They faced the situation plucki-
ly and hopefully, and did willingly
whatever they could find to do. Every
where in the south, in town and country,
there are young women educated and
cultivated, belonging to the best families
and moving in the best circles, who DIRE
quietly earning their own support and
helping to support others dependent up
on them, They make no parade of
what they are doing, and those whose
lot is exceptionally hard seldom CON-
plain.
The south has made great progress in
the last twenty years. She is richer
now, doubtless, than ever BEFORE Her
wealth u.s. perhaps, not so apparent as it
was in slavery times, because it is much
more generally distributed. If tbe
truth could be known it would appear,
doubtless, that the women of the south
by their example, self-reiance, readi-
ness and willingness to do with their
own hands whatever became necessary
Tor them to do, and by the encouraoc
ment they have given the men bava

every teacher we now have dozen or
twenty more who were at once COM

themselves so, and seldom make as
good operators as the messenger boys

The Anti-Chlnese Riot i'm Washington
Territory.

Territory.
We are permitted to copy the follow
ing extract from letter written by Mr..
w. c. Thomas, of Seattle, w. T., to his
brother in this city:
In answer to your inquiry as to the
cause of the Chinese trouble in our
city, will say, in the first place, in
consequence of the pamphlets issued by
the N. p. r. r. Co., giving such a
flowery description of this country,
thousands of poor people have been in
duced to come from the East, expecting
TO get work at fair wages upon their ar
rival. At the same time nearly every
steamer coming to this port in the
night. Notwithstanding the Restriction
Act, would smuggle in lot of Chinese,
landing them in the bushes along the
Sound. They became so numerous that
very large percentage of our poor
people could not get employment OF any
kind. and many came to want. The
Chinaman, living cheaply and being
an obedient servant, enters into direct
competition with the white labor of
both sexes. This raised the issue, Shall
we permit Chinese labor to be illegally
poured in upon US, resulting in starva-
ton to our own poor people, or shall
we legally attempt to prevent it? A
representative of the Knights of Labor
went to them and told them they must
go. They SAID they had no money; the
representative made arrangement with
about four hundred to pay their fare.
They were satisfied and promised to go,
and as Chinaman's word is not al
ways to be depended on. the crowd
went with them to see that they were
safe aboard the steamship, but as the
Captain had passengers from other
points, he refused to take them all. The
rest were marched back to Chinatown
to wait for the next steamer. They
were met by a crowd headed by a
preacher by the name of Banks, who
was employed by the Missionary Socie-
ty to convert the Chinese | suppose
he thought it was interfering with his
mission. Being greatly excited, he
fired and shot one of the Knights of
Labor. Other shots were fired by the
Home Guards, wounding three or four
innocent menSwho had nothing to do
with the matter. The Knights of Labor
did not use any weapons. The city
was then put under martial law and the
mayor telegraphed for soldiers. This
is the great riot your Eastern papers
tell US about, and probably all caused
by the action by one preacher who did
not want his congregation in terfered
with. Policemen who were on active
duty at the time told me that the laws
had not been violated by the Knights of
Labor before the shooting occurred.
There probably was more or less ex-
element, it being question of great
moment to them; but if the Chinese
were agreed to go, it would seem to us
as if they should be allowed the priv
ilege.
