Tha Chinese.

EDITOR Stdnddrd:-The attention
to "Our Chinese Population" in your
leader on Monday 10 judicious. This
city is destined to play an important
part in the politics OF the province
and Dominion, and on the whole Pa
ci6o const. Public opinion expects
the nswspapsrste take the lead on vi
tai questions. If they lack the log-
ical acumen to reduce principles and
conclusions from facts and evidence,
the whole country will suffer, conss-
qusntly the part taken by the pro-
vince and city will be weak and de-
trimsntal. In politics We cannot
make mistakes and not suffer for it.
Your article on this subject treating
on the varied aspects of the question
has direct tendency to elicit discus
sion and arrive at q conclusion.
Your article assists US materially on
an important point you locate the
svil-you recognize the work done
by the Chinese for all its worth, but
the Chinamdn himself is, as assorted,
an uumitigatsd nuisance and evil
his filth and vice, his withdrawal of
the medium of change. You next
subject Of discussion-is an inquiry
whether these evils catinot bs rsms-
died in this city. The laws for all
are the same, they Rrs sufficient for
the citizeRs-the only conclusion you
can come to, you arrive at, viz: the
police, surely the police are rsspon-
sible, that is the logical conclusion
from mathematical, political and
legal aspect, as On editor dealing
with Q practical subject i'll a practi-
cal manner you can arrive at no
other conclusion. But, Mr.. Editor,
get the best police in the world and
You can't cure the evil. Miss Acker
man, the w. O. L. U. lectarsss. un-
voiled the statue of evil, aud Rev.
DR.. Nourse did the same thing. The
answer is formed-Ifs moral q,tes-
tion. Cupidity and greed brought
thom here; God did not. God com>
mandel the Israelites to destroy the
heathon nations of Palestine as there
was no safety without; the Jews
thought they knew better. But God
understood human nature then as
now. We are in the same positlon-
we cannot touch pitch without de-
Element. The Chinese have no con-
science but for gain; they will work
and drive the women to the wall;
they will give them opium and de-
bauch them and have no compassion,
its against their education. DIR.

The Chinese must go! We cannot
afford to keep them hero. Our laws
are broken; morally, every one OF
them, worse than by the Mormons,
and they are doing more than harm.
A Christian can't live on an equality
with them and be Christian. This
city and province cannot De Chris

The railroad question in Territor-
ial politics as Mr.. Voorhees, is trying
To- revive it, Is a dead issue 1t is

politicians nor yoters-hecause
democratic presi lent has accepted
the Northern Pacific railroad in fifty
mile sections, and has caused the
disputed land to be patented. to the
company, That land can only be
wrested from the company now, if at
all, by legal proceedings. When Mr..
Voorhees, could have secured the for
feiture of part of the land he refused
because, as ne alleged, he could not

sistently refuses 1t, and keeps 1t

General Harrison's letter of accepts
ance is a document of notable strength
and clearGess. He discusses every
public question of Importance in a
straight forward and practical man
ner which is calculated to inspire the
deepest confidence in his statesman
ship and broad comprehension of
the great subjects now at issue before
the country. 1t is eminently in ac-
cord with the spirit OF Republican
ism and will attract the consideration
of candid voters of all classes. In
comparison with the letter which Mr.
Cleveland imposes upon his follow.
ers, General HarIison's is as much su-
perior as the utterances of trained
statesman are above those ofan obs
cure politicion who eomprehends only
the most superficial phases of any pub
lie question. AS .the New York Tri-
6une well says:
General Harrison's letter is cour-
ageous, frank, simple and unaffe ;ted
Many of its phrases pierce the Demo-
cratic armor like sword thrusts. 1t
is a letter that will make many votes.
The letter is worthy of the leader Of
a great party and demonstrates his
fitness for the presidency"

A newspaper that has manliness
enough to be an aggressive force for

isms. One that is too cowardly to
express definite opinion upon any
public question, and that is forever
straddling and catering to popular
favor, or to avoid antagonism. is sure
to count for but little 1t is always
the pusillanimous kind that sneers at

This necessity is 30 great that we
cannot dispense with the hotel and
its advantages without seriously in

not to require months of argument

pleasant feelings the prospect of

Democrats are very anxious to get
control of tho Legislature. In view
of approaching statehood it is quite
important A democratic majority
in the Legislature after President
Harrison signs our statehood bill
would mean two democratic U. S.
senators-hence democrats are frantic
in their efforts to carry the legisla-
tive districts. Republicans who want
the o. S. senate to continue republi-
can in complexion, and thus continue
the safeguard of our industries
against free trade, will vote solidly
for their Legislative candidates.
The hanging of Goldensen, yes
terday for the murder of the inno-
cent school girl, Mamie Kelly, was
triumph of justice, which must make
every Americans heart rejoice Low,
vicious criminals increase with every
lax administration of the law. So
surely as Goldensen's neck had been
spared dozen more school girls had
been murdered. Our law is too slow.
We believe that it is better foI a
criminal to have every chance OF jus.
tice, but not a peryersion of justice
in the way of len:ency, for that be-
gets crime. The morbid sympathy
which so many goody-goody people
show to great criminals is all wrong.
1t makes d kind of hero of tho GRIM
inal which is very desirable on the
part of some abandoned characters.
The protection of the innocent, not
the vicious, is the design of the law.

If, as has been frequently assor-

Commodore Kittson Thought His son-in-
Law Would Need = Little Money.
The following story about the late Com
modore Kittson from the Chicago Tribune,
will be of interest to the friends Of his son.
in-law, Mr.. Lew Baker:
One of the many stories in st. Paul OF
the late Commodore Kittson strongly Illus
trated his love for his children. He had
numerous offspring, and was proverbially
generous with them, as in fact he was
with any one for whom he left strong re-
gard. When his daughter married young
Baker of the Globe, arrangements were
made for tour abroad, and the Commo-
dore gave the bridegroom an unlimited
letter of credit on foreign bankers, besides
making other handsome presents Bat
Just before the ceremony it seemed to strike
him he had net done quite enough, 30,
calling Baker aside, he said:
MY boy, you are going to take long
journey, and it takes money to run things
in this world. You may find it handy to
have little in your pocket sometimes"
and he handed over check for S., 900 and
went into another room with tears in his
eyes.
Later, when the bridal patty was at the
railroad station and about TO depart,
Baker was again taken aside by the Com
modore.
''My boy" he said Heaven bless you!
Take good care Of the girl. By the way,
/ guess you'll want little more stuff TO
see you through" And he handed over
another check, but for Just dosbIe the
amout of the first one, md then made q
bee line for the waiting room to hide his
emotion.

and we will get to Wheeling. We have
the money borrowed. and it commences

interest ut once.
Concerning our going to Wheeling
we are bound to connect with the Ohio

now building, and which ramify the en-
tire State. West Vifginia's tendency to
improvement makes Us all the more anx-
ious to get 10 Wheeling, and if there is no
bridge when we get there, we will build
one, or arrange for the building of one.
"Our Chief Engineer, Mr.. G. A. Wilson,
has the plans for the extension in such
Shape that they will be ready to submit them
to the contractors in ten days, and We have a
dozsn or more contractors waiting for the
plans. Mr.. Anderson will remain in this

funeral OF Miss Helena Frances Hsndlan,
Yesterday.
The funeral of the late Miss Frances
Handlan took place, yesterday morning,
from the residence of her father, Sheriff
W. G. Handlan, on Thirty-third street.
The remains were borne to the Church OF
the Immaculate Conception, where a large
concOurse of friends of the family had as
sembled.
The easket containing the remains was
literally hidden from sight with the most
beautiful of flowers. A number of special
pieces. among which were an anchor, cross
and pillow were noticed. all being Of the
lovliest description.
Rev. Father Mullen, pastor OF the
church, officiated in the celebration OF
REQUIEM Mass, which was most
solemnly impressive. Mrs. Whitaker
sang several appropriate hymns In
very beautiful and touch ng
manner and RI. Rev. Bishop j. j. Ksin
delivered the funeral sermon. II was one
of the Bishops most eloquent and effective
eulogies and the large assemblage listened
with the closest interest and appreciation.
His remarks upon the loveable and true
womanly characteristics and virtues OF the
deceased young lady, were very touching
and pretty.
At the conclusion of the services the
casket was borne to the funeral car and a
lage cortege of carriages and other convey
ances bearing friends, followed the remains
to their last resting place at Mt. Calvary
Cemetery. The usual services at the grave
were performed, and the mortal remains OF
a loving daughter and true friend were
forever hidden from sight.
