DUTY OF DISCRIMINATION

When the United States were young
the condition Of being the refuge for
the oppressed and depressed Of all
nations was largely insisted upon, in
order 10 attract emigrants TO the
sparsely settled republic. 1t was
necessary to recruit inhabitants, and
the recruiting officers we're neither
DESTROYS to discriminate, nor, indeed,
could they afford to do so. 1t was
necessary only to establish sanitary
regulations; then throw open ports,
hearts and arms in generous welcome
TO the strangers, whose labor was TO
build up nation.
In less than one hundred years the
population has sprung from less than
five millions TO over sixty-five millions.
States have multiplied till the original
thirteen have expanded TO forty-four.
The most extrayagant attacks have
been made on the resources which
Nature spread here with lavish hand,
until lands have been exhausted,
forests eXterminated and mines
worked-out with ore enough buried
In the dumps 90 more than double the
output, il economically handled. The
natural consequences have been that
the prospectors have pushed westward
still, until the tide has fallen on the
Pacific shore.
At the beginning Of this vast rush
TO America, only the most desirable
class of immigrants came. The voyage
from Europe was long and costly; and
the necessity OF hewing out for oneself
a shelter, of facing certain toll, and
fighting savage beasts and men was
not so alluring as the prospect Of land
ing on the shores Of a populous coun-
try where the pioneer work had already
been performed. The multiplication
Of cheap transportation, and the ease
with which employment could be
found, has reduced the standard Of
manhood Of the immigrants and cast
upon us a most undesirable lot Of
human beings from both East and
West.
The ignorant, brutal, selfish, law
less and pauper elements have been
gaining preponderance until, today,
the influx OF Dagos, low Irish, Sclays
and that kind Of creatures has pre-
scented the American statesman and
patriot stern question to consider.
Something more than sitting must be
done. The influx must be stopped
altogether. But, how? That is the
question. The Chinese exclusion act
has operated pretty we'll; IL IL has
not barred the way, it has made IL
difficult and costly TO follow. The same
or parallel law could not, in view Of
existing international treaty stipula-
tions, be applied 10 European immi-
grants. The nearest approach we
have been able TO effect was the Anti
Foreign labor contract statute, and
that is by no means effectual.
No wonder the shades of the old
Know-Nothing party OF the SOS are
being invoked, and the policy OF reviy-
ing the organization being canvassed.
IL could not be successfully done
under the old watchword of America
for Americans" for that measure is
too extreme, even in our necessities.
A happy substitute could, however, be
found in "Americans for America"
which merelystlpulates that let man
come from Europe. Asia or the moon,
he should be received and welcomed II

Tax Both Folly and I.uxurv

Port Townsend Leader: France is con
sidering the question Of taxing all Of her
bachelors. That would be good scheme
for the United States to adopt. Why not
require all bachelors TO pay an annual
tax and apply 1t to building and main
tanning homes for aged and INDECENT
women. III these men are so unapDre-
ciative Of women's charms as TO lead a
life OF 'single cussedness," they should be
made to paw for their folly.

Port Townsend Leader: Every state
should make law requiring cigarette
dealers to take out special license, and
that license should be made expensive.
Another clause in the law should prohibit

S. j. Knight and q. II. Watrous re-

to Baker river. They are enthusiastic
over the outlook. The Golden Rule mining
company's properties are looking well.
The ore is free milling, and one of the
claims here shows ledge 1893 feet wide
which assays extremely well. The ore is
easy of access, and there will be little
difficulty experienced in shipping it. The

and Messrs. Knight and Watrous are the

There is a good deal of development work
being done, and rich strikes are almost

ADDITIONAL TEACHER REFUSED

To the South Sub-District by the Board of
Observation-Disclosures in Attendance.
On the Recommendation of the Committee
on Text Books and Course of Instruction the
Central Board of Education, at its meeting last
night, decided TO create the office of Supervisor
of Drawing. The election will be made at the
next meeting. At present each school mas its
own system of teaching drawing, and the art
has suffered through lack OF uniform
method.
The Committee on Teachers and Salaries re-
ported having refused an additional teacher to
the South Sub-District. The school has enough
pupils, but some OF them are non-residents and
teachers Mr.McElroy, aided by DR.. NJ McCandless,
made strong fight for the teacher. Mr.. Nc
Elroy said that all their nonresident pupils
are children of city taxpayers. He thought it
hard that the children of Americans were not
treated at least as well as children of men who
were not and never intended to be citizens.
Mr.. Buckley replied that it was not a
question of American or foreign birth. but of
city residence 1t made no difference if a child
was American or Chinese. to which MIR. Nc
Elroy replied: We'll, it ought to-"
Mr.. McIGlroy said their nonresident pupils
would pay tuition fees sufficient to pay an extra
teacher. if the board would take the money and
settle with the teacher. He was told that the
Central Board could not do this, but there was
nothing to prevent the local board from doing
so.
DR.. McCandless wanted to know how the
First ward got four teachers when the school
hasn't enough pupils to entitle it to one
teacher. Mr.. Horgan, of the Fifth ward, an
Swered that the school had but two teachers
whereupon Dr. McCandless unloaded the bur-
den on Mr.. Trosch of the Eighteenth ward
whom he said had given him the information.
The position of the committee was sustained.

THINK IT INCENDIARY.

7. G. Evans & Co.'s Warehouse Scorched
Severely-A Member of the Firm De-
clares a Firebrand Was Thrown Into the
= Cellar-The Loss About $4,000.
About 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon
fire alarm No. 13 rang, and it was soon
learned that the warehouse of T. G. Evans
& Co., corner Third avenue and Market
street, was again on fire.
The fire three weeks ago gained little
headway before it was extinguished, but
not so with yesterdays fire. 1t started IN the
southeast corner of the basement. and, before
the firemen had it under control, had cleaned
out the basement and first floor, and a good
deal of the stock, consisting of lamps, glass and
chinaware WAS destroyed by the force Of the
water from the hose.
To make things more exciting, L. Fl. Layton,
member of the firm. as soon as he appeared on
the scene emphatically declared that the fire
was an incendiary one, and lut repetition of
an attempt to burn the building three weeks
ago. While the fremen were working on the
fire, Inspectors McAleese and McKelvy Assist
ant Superintendent of Police Roger O'Mara,
Special Officers Fitzgerald ard Carrigan and a
number of other members of the police depart
ment commenced looking around for anything
to substantiate Mr.. Layton's statements and
catch the fire fends, if such there were.
Chief Steele soon saw tine fire was going to be
an ugly one, and engines answering the second
alarm were soon on the ground and the men at
work. The hose was turned right into the
front of the building On the different floors,
and the smashing of costly glassware and
chinaware sounded like an infantry fusilade.
1t was just $40 when the fire was rung out and
the time of reckoning came.
The building occupies Nos. 213. 215, 2l7 Mar
ket street, and is owned by the Scbenev estate.
No. III is of three stories, and Nos. 2l3 and 215
OF four stories. The firm of L. G. Evans & Co.
is composed of T. g. Evans F. Z. Evans and
L. II. Layton (father-in-law of the other men,
bers of the tirm). The stock of the company
was estimated by Mr.. Layton to be worth
about Si0,OO several large shipments of goods
having just been received. The loss Is variously
estimated from $4,000 to $4,000 fully covered
by insurance, placed mostly with j. w. Arrotr.
The damage to the building, old one. will
not foot up a very large amount
Speaking of the fire, Mr.. Layton said: II can
account for the fire in no way unless it was
incendiary. l believe it was set afirc; am sure
of it."
Has the firm any enemies?" was asked.
Every firm has, 1 believe the other fire was
the work of some person. too. We never allow
smoking in the building, and the corner where
the fire started was just clean out to-day. You
notice that the transoms to the basement are
all open, as we have been putting in some new
woodwork. Well, there was some straw in that
corner that had just been taken out of a box,
and someone has deliberately thrown a fire
brand through the opening"
