RICHARD II. sYLvEsTER....."Ed Editor
WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 5, 1888.

THE REAL OBJECTION to Chinese immi-
grafton is not stated as explicitly as it
should be by political speakers and Con
gressional debaters; hence the very gem
oral and to some extent well-founded i'm.
preston that our restrictive legislation is
based more on partisan than economic
considerations.
There is a strong race prejudice against
the Chinese on account Of their peculiar
religion and customs and habits.
There is another strong prejudice
against them because of the cheap rate
at which they hold the price of their
labor, and Of their inability or indisposi-
tiou to become assimilated with the
American people; and both of the great
parties of the country, for the sake of
making friends with the labor element,
are constantly catering to these preju-
dices.
But it does not follow that the policy
of restriction should be abandoned on
this account, for there are more exigent
reasons than these why some limit
should be placed to Chinese immigra-
ton.
According to the latest estimates the
population of the Chinese Empire is
40l, 100000. One of the provinces, with
an area Of 10000 square miles, not
much exceeded by that of California,
has a population of 6S, 900, 900, while Cali,
fornia's population in 1880 was less than
100000 Another province has popu-
lation nearly equal to that of France,
another exceeds the United Kingdom of
Great Britain in population.
The total population of China is more
than six times that of the United States.
1t is well known, or as well known as
anything is about China, that with the
tide of immigration once turned and
stimulated in this direction, millions
upon millions of Cinnamon could ad-
vantageously be spared from their ma
tive land, and more than enough to
densely populate the entire Pacific coast
Such an immigration could not be toll
Grated. 1t would not be safe Itwould
uu-Americanize one of the fairest por-
tions of the continent if permitted to go
ON unchecked, with the ultimate result
of sanguinary race conflicts and results
too deplorable to contemplate 1t may
not be that even withoutrestrictive legis-
lation such danger would be imminenti
but it is sufficiently possible to be
guarded against, and to this extent Con-
gress is justified in the adoption of meas.
ures of repression.

ONE DAY.

Like some old friend from far who visits MS
Still garrulOus
OF long forgotten ways and things Of yore
We knew before,
Some babbler Of old times, old jests and songs,
DaZed mid II thrOng
OF younger, careless strangers, who disdain
His boyhOOd's reign.
SO, from the shadows Of the bygone years
10 reappears;
From an unseen corner of the brain
lt starts again
The memory OF a day as clear aud gay
AS yesterday,
And at Its bidding adumbrations rise
10 dreamy eyes,
The splendors of wide, untrayeled world
once more unfurled
Thin' faroH mirth, vague sorrow, vanished
Loves dead delights,
Wonder ana nope and joy, the eXultant thrill
lnenable;
The fainting echo and the aftergow
OF long ago.
Then as a lonely Outcast, who has come
TO lind his home
Changed with changed fortunes, chambers
sacred still
That others dll,
Whose wild, white face to panes uncurtaued
pressed
a space might rest
Upon a hre5lde group all warmth and gleo;
Rest, and then Ace!
SO swift 1t came ana then 80 swiftly went,
In the dense oblivion of tho night
10 took Its flight
Fled the pale ghost INTO the Wilderness
Companion
Fell the ffoi bridge, the yawning gulfs that
spanned

The story ofCononcbet

No greater parody on the supposed stability
of earthly possessions and happiness can be
found than by reading the story Of "Canonchet

frame building, erected on rising ground,
adorned with great deal of yellow paint and
with green shutters Rich in inherited wealth

figure in the United States Senatea and husband
OF beautiful and distinguished wife, this man
certainly seemed to have attained at one time
the height OF human ambition and happiness.
But there came the inevitable crash, and why
try now to reason wherefore? Fortune failed,
and years Of cruel struggle against fate have
followed ever since No one will ever under
stand the real reason Of this fall from great
ness, and how much it was owing to his own
folly or the folly Of others, or of both com

The Washington critic., 1888-09-05


The BILL introduced in the Senate yes
terday by Mr. Cullom for the suppression
of trusts is about as stringent measure
in its provisions as can well be devised,
proposing as it does the seizure and for
feiture of all shares of stock and all prop
erty used in the furtherance of the pur-
poses, however, of trust. 1t will first
be necessary to establish some statutory
definition of trust SO that the thing can
be identified when it is seen; otherwise
the getting inside of it and conhscating
its property is likely to be attended with
some difficulty. Trusts, or combinations
very much akin to the popular under
standing Of trusts, ramify our entire com
mcrcial system from the big grain and
produce syndicates down TO country COM
mission merchants and market hucksters.
They work more or less hardship on the
people, no doubt, and ought to be broken
up; but it isn't going to be any small job
10 break 'em.
