WILL THEY DO 1T.

II is idle to deny that among the
principal pro-Chinese advocates are
the ladies. Touching on this point
the Daily Report Of San Francisco
says:
The knights of Labor, in well
coming the assistance Of women in
their crusade against the Chinese
of this coast. show that they under
stand the situation. Whether they
will come forward as generally
as the men have IN the boycott
movement remains to be seen. But
it is pretty certain they will not.
IF the women Of San Francisco
made up their minds that the Chi
nese must go, the Chinese would
60, even though the men should be
luke-warm in the cause. We say
this because three fourths Of the
Chinese now competing with white
labor in San Francisco are kept in
work and funds by our female pop
ulation. In the first place. of the
thousands of Chinese domestics the
women are responsible for nearly
all. fla housewife declares that
she will not have a Chinese SER
want her husband is not going to
force her to keep one. But if
husband tells his wife the China
man must 60, and the wife says she
cannot get along with female SER
wants, or merely says, "All right, [
will leave you to see that the house
work and cooking are better done
than they are now" good many
husbands shrug their shoulders,
and decline the combat. So it Is
with the underclothing business
The Chinese in that are very large
ly dependent upon female patron
age; and even in the matter of
mems shirts, the women are fire.
quently the purchasers, and could
boycott the Chinese in that direc-
ton if they chose. So with the
shoe trade, the female patronage is
immense. Besides all this, the
moral influence of female crusade |
would be very great, and many a
man who is now merely a careless
and not willful patron Of the Chi
nese, would mend his ways if his
sweetheart, or his wife, or his Sis
ter now and then reminded him of |
his duty.
But experience in other direc-
tions shows that the men Of San
Francisco will most likely have to
do the boycotting for themselves
and for their female relatives and
friends also, by refusing to buy
Chinese goods and endeavoring to
persuade or force dealers to refrain
from tempting the women folk with
bargains based on Chinese labor.
Then, when the trading and manu-
'acturing Chinese are driven out,
he Chinese domestics may follow
# their own will and by degrees.
We should like to see the ladies
DIN the Knights, disinterestedly,
arnestly and generally, but we
loubt very much whether they ever
will.

In the East notion prevails that
immense bodies Of silver ore are to
be shown up in all the mining
States and Territories at no distant
day, to be followed by a great boom
in mining stocks. The people Of
the Atlantic States have evidently
imbibed this notion while endeav-
oring to account for the persistent
manner in which the Pacific
Coasters are fighting for silver.
They have an idea that we are
holding back whole mountains of
silver, which We will show up if
things 90 our way. Our Eastern
friends are too suspicious. It is
hardto make them understand that
we are working fer the good of the
whole Nation.-Dayton News Re

AMUSING RAILROAD WAR.

The fierce railroad war has made
it very lively among the agents in
San Francisco, where they are all
put to their wits end to try and
offset each others tricks to secure
passengers. It is related that a
day or two ago an Australian
steamer was sighted CON ing in.
The agent of one road chartered
tug and went out to secure the
passengers for his line. He told
them all about his road, the cheap
ness of travel, scenic effects, quick
time, etc, and felt perfectly solid
with them all. In the meantime
"a opposition line seeing this fine
play, determined to checkmate it.
He hurried to a florists, ordered an
immense floral design Of a heart
and anchor and "A hearty welcome"
motto done in posies. He also
bought wagon load of boquets and
as the passengers came ashore pre-
sented each with one and told them
of his line, standing under his big
floral piece. The flowers caught |
them and they followed him to his
headquarters.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe headquarters at San Francisco
display an immense steamer stretch
ing clear across the street display
ing a huge knife. The significance
is plain.
Recently passenger went
through Battle Mountain bound for
Chicago from San Francisco, with
frst-class limited ticket which cost
him only 81 so. The scalpers had
bought it to speculate on, but had
not succeeded in selling it and the
last day to travel on it had arrived

Return of the Cadets.

The Portland Cadets returned last night at
about $50 o'clock from their visit to Hayer-
hill, Mass, and their march to the armory to
the stirring strains of Chambers band, was

Between the musical selections Dolly de-
lighted the audience by her skill in discrlml-
mating coIors, picking up handkerchiefs and
other feats. Owing to the slippery floor her
walking the plank was not as successful as
some of her other efforts. The game of polo
between the Fats and Leans was very anus
ing, the goal-keeper Of the former creating
decided sensation. Contrary to general GUS
tom tn Fats came out victorious.
The grand march was headed by several
novelties. First came the dancing elephant
BOLIVIA, in charge ofshis keeper. He was ey-
identity baby elephant but he knew his
biz. He was followed by the great Gallo
rooster, who tapped his wings and shook his
spurs the monkey who performed all sorts
of capers to the music of the hand-organ
played by most italian looking chap, the
dog who wagged his tail, and the other mem
beers of the animal kingdom who attracted
every eye. There were 46 couples in the pro-
cession, in costumes of every description, the
gentleman and lady from the country in the
attire of Eye olden TYNE" being among the
most effective and best carried out.
An order of sixteen dances followed under
the floor direction of Capt. G. w. Davis,
Sergeants Marsh and Webster, Corporal
Murch, Privates Bean, Grimmer, Turner,
Hatch and Baily as aids. The dance-cardS
