ties, the whole energy of their
being. They never pursue any
thing with ardor but riches and
natural enjoyments. God, the soul,
future life, they believe in none of
then, or rather they never think
about them at all.
Notice some of the peculiarities
of the great gulf which separates the
Ch!naman from the American. The
Oriental believes in and practices
lnfantlcide. He regards woman as
piece OF property, plaything to be
bought and sold at his pleasure. In
almost no other race is the condi
ton of the female sex more internal,
more htiable. The home, in the
sense which makes the word a syn.
onym OF goodness and greatness in
our social life, is unknown to the
Chlnaman. He herds where other
races instlnctly separate into fami.
lies. He has no conception of and
no sympathy with all the enterprises
which have done so much to har
monize and elevate people of other
races. Whether In San Francisco
or elsewhere, he is mot amenable
to law, but he Is governed by secret
tribunals unrecognized and unau.

"These tribunals levy taxes, COM
mand masses of men, intimidate, CO..
erce interpreters and witnesses,
enforce perjury, regulate trade,
punish the refractory, remove W t.
nesses beyond the reach of the
courts, control liberty of action, and
prevent the return of Chinese to
their home in China without their
consent

can scarcely make an impression.
S'ys Canon Taylor of the English
Established Church:
China is perhaps the most dis
hearlening case. The population is
reckoned at 3S2, 900, 900. The
annual increase by the excess Of
births over 6eaths would be about
458o,o 900. Last year the Church
Missionary Society baptized I(7
adults. At this rate it would take

population were stationary, it.wonld
take more than 1850, 900 years to
convert the Chinese Empire.
II, on the one hand, the Chinese
are invulnerable to the best Christian
and civilizing forces of the times,
they, on the other hand, through
the alliance which they find in
vicious natures, irrespective of race,
have a mosta-' -'demoralizing effect
upon commun ties in which they
reside.
Average American readers Of the
press have little conception of the
moral foulness which the Mongolians
disseminate wherever they go. The
number of Caucasian men and
women who have owed their ruin to
the opium and other vices brought
by the Mongolians would be start
