THE PREsAGE OF DISASTER,

In view of the decision of the Detroit
Court that the Chinese may come to the
United States from Canada it seems prob
able that all efforts to restrict immigration
under the present statutes will cease.
The doors are opened wide and the neces-
sity for the Chinaman, the pauper and
the criminal to pass through Canada on
his way to the United States might as well
be done away with.
The Chinese exclusion act has not
operated very satisfactorily. 1t is true
that it restrained a few who thought
it too much of a risk to endeavOr
to smuggle themselves across the Dor
der line, but there has been a steady
influx of these unwelcome people
Before the exclusion act went into effect
they were landed in San Francisco by the
thousand. Since then they have been
coming over the border by the hundred.
The full significance of the decision can
hardly be realized by those who have
never visited Chinatown in San Francisco.
There thousands of them live to-day in
the heart of the city, in a manner most
foreign to Western civilization. This de-
cIsion may create a similar Chinatown in
many other cities of the Union. China
can spare two hundred million of her peo-
pie and not feel their absence, and there
are probably that many anxious to come
here Add such an influx of people, who
can live on one-fourth of what it costs an
American to feed himself, to the present
population and the result can readily be
imagined. Under these circumstances the
decision is to be regarded as disastrous to
the whole community if Congress does
not take early steps to counteract it.

DWELLINGS AS A SIGN OF WEALTH.

The London Spectator doubts the figures
given for the total wealth of the United
States. 1t cannot understand how the
creased in greater ratio than the popula-
ton, and its comments conclude thus:
"'This result is the more remarkable be-
cause the people of the Union, taken as a
mass, are yet housed in stone or brick
structures, such as in other countries con-
stitute grand item in the national wealth.
Outside the great cities the houses are still
built mainly of wood"
To the resident of the United States
there is nothing in the statement that the
total wealth of the country is estimated at
more than $50, ,0OO, 600, 900 that seems ex-
aggerated. He is familiar with industrial
developments, and with the increased
value of real estate resulting from the
settlement and cultivation of the country.
He is aware also that stone or brick
structures are not absolutely neces-
sary to comfort, in fact many
prefer wooden houses, even whenfthey
could afford the more expensive styles.
Outside of the cities the area covered by
a house is of small importance, and why
should not the farmer elect to use the
money it would take to construct small
stone or brick structure, in building a
comfortable roomy house that will accom-
modate his family more easily? In many
parts of the Union wooden houses are
more suitable to the climate than brick
and stone. 1t is an evidence that Ameri-
cans realize that the source of wealth does
not exist in mere buildings, that foreign
paper is enabled to express the sentiment
mentioned. If the portion of our wealth
represented by buildings were increased
two-thirds the money SO used would have
been bit withdrawn from other uses, and
the real national wealth would have been
materially lessened.

INrER-CoNTINENrAL RAILWAY.

Little is heard now of the Inter-Conti-
mental railway project, but it is not finally
abandoned Probably nothing more will
he heard until next February, when re-
port is to be in order upon preliminary sur
veys. Many who are familiar with the
regions to be traversed, are exceedingly
sanguine that favorable reports will be
made as to the practicability of the rail-
road. Among the Cordilleras of Colombia
and Ecuador enormous difficulties must be
overcome, whose cost will, perhaps, not be
justified by the commercial results for
many years. There can be no doubt, how
ever, Of the ultimate execution of the
project; and it is a wise and far-seeing
policy to begin consideration of its details
at once.
The region to be opened to settlement
by such road is of startling immensity.
Its prOductiveness and fertility are
enormous and little understood at
present, but capital is continually
seeking new fields, and this great con-
tinent. cannot be overlooked long 1t is
true that steamships and sailing vessels
tap the seacoast of the whole of South
America, but the time is approaching
when there must be more rapid means
of communication. Already number of
lines tributary to the Inter-C Continental

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, SEPT. Is, 1871.
FRANK, But FOOLISH.

Governor and Candidate Campbell
opened his side of the Ohio campaign in a
speech %, 900 words long yesterday. He is
bold even to recklessness, and makes no
attempt to follow the example of the
Pennsylvania Democracy in masking the
free trade crusade with local issues. Upon
the silver question the Buckeye Executive
candidly admits that his party is divided,
but consoles himself with the assertion
that his opponents are in the same boat.
He also has the hardihood to accuse Major
Mckinley of being himself in favor of free
coinage, but the facts adduced to support
the statement are decidedly feeble.
Fully one-half of Mr.. Campbell's ad-
dress is devoted to the tariff, anC his
assaults are most vigorous upon those in
dustries in which Pennsylvania and Ohio
are directly concerned A great many
words ar, used in pointing out alleged ir-
equalities, but the orator will discover
later that the people will intPust any re-
vision of the schedules only to the friends
of protection. Campbell has maintained
is character as a desperate fighter, but at
the sacrifice of his reputation for ordinary
Drudence
