are now engaged in their unholy traffic,
and ten out of every ten Chinese landed

dealers, Kearney declared, he went east
to thwart, knowing hat the eyes of the
politicians were turned toward the
states of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, whose votes will elect the
next president. He thought by supple
menting the George issue by the anti
Chinese issue congress could be induced
to pass an exclusion bill. But George
would have none of it. Then he joined
issues with Mr.. Cummings, OF the New
York Sun, and wrote and spoke in favor
OF keeping the Mongolians out OF the
country.

He has ensconced himself in Stewart
castle, on Dupont circle, and packed its
cellars with the choicest of wines for
the high toned officials and cheap rot

when he wants anything he makes
Washington society drunk until he sue

Chinese minister is not the only for

is because the Chinese minister don't

Congress is an %autocratic body.
Congressman Cummings introduced q
bill TO exclude the Chinese. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign af-

lation roast rats and pigs, bursted a
basket of champagne over its grave.
The chairmen of the principal commit

controls these chairmen through patron
age.
You have been told that a treaty was
negotiated between Bayard, the presi-
dent and the Chinese ministers which
will, when ratified, stop the Chinese
from coming. | don't suppose many of
you have read it. This treaty was got

American with the brains of a mosquito
would get up such q sieve as this pro-
posed treaty is. 1t is the biggest fraud
yet. 1t has ten openings for the admis-
