THE HEATHENS,
They can be Made to "Go'' Within n
Month II the Whites Agree Not to
Employ Them. eE

Employ Them.
There is probably not single white
or colored person within the boun.
diaries Of Haley but wants the Chi
nese to go" The trouble is, howev.
er, that some cannot get along with
out hired help, and must get other
servants before they can dispense
with the Chinese. To enable this
class of persons to procure servants,
an employment agency should be
opened at once in Haley, which
would fill that demand. If 10 more
desirable kind can be got, Mormon
girls can be had from Logan, Ogden,
or Salt Lake City, Utah. They are
strong, hard working, and can doubt
less be had for 50 or IS per week.
All are not desirable help, of course,
but the worthless ones can be dis
charged as soon as other help can be
secured.
The principal other line of business
in which Chinese competition is felt
is in laundrying. A steam laundry
will probably be in operation here in
a month or two; but even then there
will be steady work for half dozen
other white laundries. There are al
ready in operation here, to-wit: Mrs.
Goes, southeast corner of River and
Galena streets; Mrs. IS, on River
street, just south of Bullion; and Mr..
Clay's, next to the old postoffice build
ing, on Upper Main street.
Mrs. Coe said yesterday that she
was about to give up and 60 back
home. She has been disappointed in
getting help, and cannot do all the
work much longer. But there is
plenty of money in the business, she
says, and will leave with regret
A printer in the TIMES Office was
overcbarged rs cents at Clay's laun'
dry last week. He sent five pieces tc
the laundry, and was charged "a
cents. He got hold of price-hs,
yesterday, went to the laundry, de.
manded and got rs cents back. Il
was evidently an error on the part OF
the collector.
Those who, from any cause, are not
satisfied with the prices charged OF
the work done in Haley, can send
their washing to Salt Lake, Omaha
or elsewhere, and get it done for low
er prices than Cinnamon would work
for. Some parties in this city, who
resolved long ago not to patronize the
Chinese, have done so, and been wei
pleased at the outcome. Only nine
to 10 days are required to send wash
ing to Chicago aud have it returned
and only Eve days are required to Sail
Lake. The address of the Chicago
Laundry, (which is the largest in the
United States if not in the worldly is:
G. NJ. Munger & Co., 1345 and 1874,
Walnut avenue; that at Salt Lake
is: Troy Laundry, Salt Lake City
The clothes are in each case washed
and transported for less than the same
washing would cost in this city!
The third and about the only line
of business in which Chinese compe
tition is felt to any extent here, is il
the sale of vegetables, garden ant
farm produce. That can be done
away with at once, if the whites sin
cerely wish to. All they need do ii
to refuse to purchase from the Chi
nese truck vendors.
If prompt action be taken on. the
hints and suggestions above offered
the Chinese will Ego" within one

CANADIAN CIVIL SERVICE
Members An sympathy with Irish
Home Rule sharply watched.

OTTAWA. ONT, October 4-For some
lime past the Dominion Government
has been watching with cor siderable
suspicion several members Of the civil
service who are in sympathy with the
Home Rule party In Ireland, and
whom 1t was feared were endeavoIing
to fow seeds Of ssdition among
other government officials, In view
Of this an order was issued Saturday
compelling every member Of the civil
service 10 take an oath OF allegiance
to the Queen, falling in which their
pay would be stopped. 1t is quite ev.
ident that the fears OF the govern
ment have been aroused, as, in con-
nectioR with this movement, it has
been proved beyond doubt that the
recent robbery Of the minutes of the
meeting OF st. Patrick's Society, which
are nov missing, were stolen from the
room by a government official, who
recently joined the society for no
other purpose than TO secure these
book, which the government believe
will disclose certain facts bearing evil
denCe Of several prominent members
OF The civil service having spoken dis
loyally Of the Queen and country, and
Of having identified themselves with
the National party. 1t has been an
open secret for some time that there
ara several members OF tie civil
service who are in sympathy With, if
they do not belong 10, the Fenian
Brotherhood. They are being sharply
wAtohedb by outside detectives.

Commissioner Colman is very much
elated at the results of the expert

value from an economical point Of
view. In the process used in the

THE ELEVATION OF SOUTHERN
POLITICS.

Tenn ssee has taken a new depsr.

tests %iuaugursted methods which
will elcvata and give decency and dig

years the election contests in the
Southern States have been bitter, re =

was sngeadered by the reconstruction
era, the dak days which seem like q
bideous cream, when the ignorant
negro and unprincipled car. ct tsgger
ruled snd ruiled the intelligent tax
paying whites. As the S uthern 81 ,tps
were given home rule, the tax payers
were anxious to forget the hoIro,s Of
