Huntington Wants the Chinese.


Mr.. C. 2. Huntington, who is so largely
interested In the Pacific railroads, is in
rather unhappy frame Of mind because the
Chinese have been shut out Of this country.
He is convinced that congress made grave
mistake when it passed the Chinese exclu-i
sion act.
The trouble with Mr. Huntington is that
the bill closed up what was source OF con-
siderable revenue to him. He has three
steamers in the Chinese trade, and on every
voyage to this country they brought loads
OF immigrants
Mr.. Huntington's ships are no longer
crowded, and their earnings are not as large
a, they were. In fact he says that they
are doing so little business that he will cease
running them in a few months.
What Mr.. Huntington pretends to be the
most concerned about, however. is the Chi
nese trade. He says that this country was
building up fine trade with China, and
that this trade was becoming not only
large, but exceedingly profitable. He pre-
diets that it will dwindle to nothing. and
that within five years every American will be
driven out of China The Chinese, he saws
are very polite to Americans in China, but
that only means that China proposes to
give this country a chance to repeal its anti
Chinese laws. If this chance is not i'm
proved the policy Of retaliation will be
adopted.
Doubtless Mr.. Huntington is talking for
effect, but even If he isn't, is it not better
to lose the trade we have, or likely to have,
with China than to have the country over
run with a race Of people who cannot be
assimilated. and who don't want to become
c.tizenss We have now q race that cannot
be assimilate1, and it is giving us great
deal Of trouble. We don't want another.
Mr.. huntington says tlat he believes
that if the people Of the Pacific coast were
given chance to vote without fear, three
fourths of them would be in favor of multi
flying the exclusion act. Is he not mis-
taken! Are the Pacific coast people such
towards that one-rourth of them can in
timidate three-four,hs!

Two Offerings.

THE following poem, which has just been
published tor the first time. is said to have been
written by Henry w. LOngfellow while a nro.
lessor at Harvard. in 1888
The day was Faster: like a dying god in pain
The organ grOarel aloud:
The while the sunlight, chasteDed by the win.
dows' stain,
Fell on motley crowd;
on lord and peasant, prince and parish, who
bore.
AS down the aisle they trod
AS they had prospered, each according to his
store,
An Easter gift to God.
Among them walked lordly prince Of lineage
fair.
Wit lip of scornful curl.
Who laid upon the altar with lofty air
A priceless Indian pearl
There also came woman, in whose face was
seen
shame. Sin and Sorrow blent:
woman of the town, second Magdalen-
An harlot penitent,
Who seemed the figure OF incarnate Sin and
Vice
As down the aisle she reeled.
And on the altar laid, beside the pearl Of price.
A lily of the field.
The priest blessed him who gave the pearl, said
mass an hour
Nrhat q Cd his soul might save,
But with contemptuous hand swept to the
ground the flower
The outcast harlot gave
His pety was praised by bishop lord and churl;
Twas cd alone could tell
That while he unto him gave nothing bnt the
pearl
She gave her heart as well.

The Indiana democrats seem to be alive to
the necessity for ballot reform in that state
and they have drafted bill which, they
confidently assert, would, if it should become
law, prevent bribery aud other dishonest
methods at the polls, and they will en-
deavor to have it passed at the session of the
Legislature which begins on the 10th day Of
this month.
The law is modelled after that of Aus
tralia. 1t contains the usual provision that
voters shall be separated from all persons
except election managers when casting
their ballots, and requires proof Of legal
residence on the part of voters. 1t divides
the state into voting precincts containing
not moro than 200 voters each, and imposes
heavy penalties on bribers
There is some doubt, however, if any law
modelled after that of Australia would
effect the desired reform. Some people go
so far as to assert that it would aggravate
the evils intended to be remedied. A SINH
lar law was adopted by Massachusetts last
year, and went into effect Jan. l, but quite
number of people in that state do rot
seem to expect any very favorable results
from it, chiefly, however. because it was
loaded down with provisions which, it is
feared. prevent it from being clearly I'M
derstoCd by the average voter.
Genuine ballot reform is very greatly
needed in Indiana and in other northern
states, where, unless something is done to
prevent dishonest and corrupt practices at
elections, the people will be unable to ex-
press their will by means Of the ballot. The
tendency to buy voters is spreading, and it
probably is true that in the election last
November the republicans carried several
states by bribery which they could not have
carried in fair election. If the honest
voters of Indiana and other states, ire
spective of party, slould unite in the at
tempt to remedy this evil, they should re-
ceive the support of all people who want
fair elections. A law modelled after that
of Australia may not be just what is needed
but it would bs step in the right direc-
ton, and if it should be found to be defect
i've, it could be amended.
