 When Hon John E. Ienderson Is in position to spe3k eandidly and after mature Geliberalion on any subject. we knew Of no ono whose views are of wider scope, hut his view of the Neagalian exodus ls necessarily narrowed by his pres en. standpoint H. says. in de fenalae Harrison's vote fer free Chinese imHi4aHon
 Harrison 7o.et. as understand il. rather against the weiudi,es of the Coasters, bEt Gle Chinese question has now ceased toba all issue. and, there fore. think t Fon figure in the election to all apRreeiahle extent l am inclined to think the people Of the Coast ate d little too radical en this question. MHehot the feeling against the Ghin62e in mysof iuion grows oat Of jealousy ea fhe R4t of the white la- bofefs.
 General Henderson understands the dangers of Chinese immigration well enough not to attempt b lusti- fy the record of his candidate, though be does attempt to excuse il by speaking of the 'pfejudiees2 of white laborers and by treating theqaestion as $ local issue.
 He ignores | pregnant fact-the fact that the world is once more well advanced Into I aswarmins pe1iod9 of the MoHeojs. We in- latc him to consider this fact, not IS Republican, hut a9 I student of history, IS statesman, and | ean= did thinker. Doing so, he will comprehend what is above the com nreheaslon of men ot Mr. Ilarfi= sons intellectual eaH5re the wis. dom of the impalSe of raee preser- Yation forcing acton which he.new imoutcs to .thc jealousy of white laborcrs. IL IN undeniablo that tae first objection urged aeait't the Chinese ill America was based on the rreiud:ce of white laborefs who could moi eomF6t,a4 a4iA 5b5m; but we ass ert the back ofthis and above if wa thc race instinct acting on the highest law of self.preservation -a law that iustiies any extreme of resistance 10 race destruction to which people of civilized and Christian nation can go.
 According to the official figures of he Cbinese government there are fI5,o00,0oo -four hundred and thirteen milhonJ Mongols in the eighteen province. of China proper alone. The same oaieial fsures show that m the habitoble prov laces they ara crowded together as tie people ot no other country on earth are crowded. The average density of population to the s4aale mile in the provence ei Kisngsa is 47o; ja Fukien t is fs2i in Slaqtung it is 557
 These h4uees Wfll explain ta any unpreiuiired tam kcr why the Mon col must swarm out of iHs crowded hive. He has an irresistible, iucx orahle force behind him, driving him on into enc of those great and wonderful race migrations which have started from Asa and sPreaa out over the world from time L. time in the worlds history. fht two small Chinese prov inces oI Shanmng and llupeh. have q popu lation larger by r., 000,G00 than th' entire population of the Umted States, and these millions are pack cd into a territory less than half the size of the s.ate of Texas. Such ! populatio,. in such a territory means | strusgle for existence too f cree o be endured. The result i. now. as 1t has always been Tn bis tory, "race swarmlng9
 Pressed on from bohmd by the l forces of starvation, the Moagoh have begun to pour out from homo in steady stream that continually increases in volume. They art spreading everywhere in the Pacific islands and along the southern coast of Asia The Mongol immigration into the United States was 600 pel cent. larger in lSs2, when Mr. liar rison voted m favor ot il, than il was in 1871.
 We do moi mean to sheer at Mir Harrison, therefore, m swing that his statesmalship was below the statetmanship of Dennis Kearney and the SaadIottors. The question was not 4oeal," {" but q uniyersa
