ough description of hum, by means of which he could re enter the Unit ed States. It was soon discovered that thousands of these Chinese who had never been in this country were seeking to enter by means ef forged certificates. When the cus- tom authorities would refuse to ad- mt these people, the master of A vessel would ge, tired, after & few days delay, Of feeding and caring for this largo number of pauper passengers. He would, therefore make application to the Judges ot the United States Courts tora writ of habeas corpus, which would per init him to land these forbidden i'm migl ants. By this means large nun bers of them amounted, 1t is as serted in California, to something over 25,000 since the passage of the Restriction Law, have been Ian ded at the port of San Francisco.
 The above contemptible eva sion of the law by the Republicans led to serious complaints on the part of the citizens of California and on July 25, 1888, largo mass meeting was held, and strong memorial was sent to Congress on the subject. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Cigar makers Union, all other labor or ganizatlons joining in. One of the speakers for the occasion among othe things said.
 "As things are at present we are impotent. Talk as we please, the Judges go on raking in S3 acase Think oft, B for three minutes !. Why should few pesky shystcrs bc allowed to go on practiclng this nefarIous business? Sabin, Saw yer, and Houghton run the entire machinery of the law to suit them ] selves. Though wo be impotent, we can let them know our eyes are upon them, md If they do not modi- fy their career of the past they had better look 70 the future. And we can have President Cleveland and Congress find ont whether they are dolne the thing right or wrong. We can have the finger of scorn pointed at them. More, We can hlre an attorney who is not afraid l nf In nIn Sa h.r and prevent the flow of fraudulent coolies into this country. More at least than is being done now. In my trade of cIgarmaker there is not ( nc of thu 4,000 Chinese in II out O! employment. while a large per cent of white cigarmakers are.
 The memorial adopted at this meeting was strong and among oth- CT things it demanded the impeach- l ment and remov Il oftwo of the Judges ot the United States Court, claiming that so long as they re- n.ained on the bench the exclusion of Chinese was an imp"ssibility. As result of this acton the Attor- Ley General at Washington wrote the |. s. Attorney at San Francisco advising him to use his utmost to enforce tho law. How does that read Doctor' Not content with simply fighting against a Chinese law the Republicans even went so far as to disgrace their official po- sltions by trying to evade it. We could compile columns more on this subject but there Is no occasion for it, and this article has already stretched out much longer than we intended it.
 Dr. Simonds is the first Repub- llcan, we believe, who ever had the cheek to deny that Harrison, while U. $. Senator, voted fourteen tim os to admit Chinese into this country. We say he DID do it and Dr Sim. onds knows 1t, too, and next week we will. for the edl6cation of the Nj. D., publish each seperate occa- sion when Harrison go voted.
 1t matters not Doctor where we get our information; 1t is reliable and can be depended upon. We never got 1t from aspeech ofSenator Vest but had we dos e so it would not have detracted Tn the least from its merits. As for mistakes in our first article, which the Doctor say are many, but fails to point them out, he cannot find a single one. We defy him to try, and he will not, either.
 Well, Doctor, the game lsup, and as you probably realize ere thls, we held the winning hand. At any time in the future when you desire to d;scusss a question just lead ou, and If we have the timc to spare We will meet you with pleasure
