affairs a few days ago agreed to
report adversely bill the pUr-
pose of which WAS TO impose
further restrictions upon Chinese
immigrations to this county We
have not seen the full text Of the
proposed bill and cannot therefore
express our opinion as to It's merits.
But on the general principle that
the fullest restriction to Chinese
immigration Is demanded by the
best interest Of this country we
are inclined TO believe that unless
the bill contained grevious faults
which judicious amendment would
not correct, the senate committee
acted unwiseIy III not reporting the
measure favorably.
There has been so much clap-trap
written upon the Chinese question
that many people have come to re-
gard 1t dIslnterestedly, and come to
look upon the frantic efforts Of the
people Of the Pacific coast to have
the Chinese kept out as the result
Of unjust race prejudice, The main
reasons tor this feeling among the
eastern people, who see few China
men and know little about them,
are the violent outbursts against the
Cinnamon in the western country,
which have resulted in hundreds of
innocent heather being brutally
maltreatod and often killed, and
their property destroyed. Sympa-
thy for the unfortunate Cinnamon
promptly grows among the phiIan-
thropie people of the east, and the
claim is At once made that the
assaults upon the Cinnamon are
made 10y brutal men inflamed by
whiskey and hatred for the China
men, aud that this hatred is not
shared by the better class Of Ameri-
can people in the Pacific states.
All this is unfortunate. 1t tends
to obscure the real trouble. 1t
throws cloud around the seat of
the disorder, aud in the outbursy of
sympathy which follows the real
facts are overlooked and the menace
to our country by the steady influx
Of the notwithstanding is not
seen in its true light.
The fact is that no one can study
the history and the present condi.
ton of the Chinese nation without
concluding that the great mass of
semibarbarians congregated in the
Asiatic empire is a serious menace
to the progress Of the world, The
immense number of the Chinese
the great antiquity OF the race, the
solidarity of the Chinese peoples,
and their utter iusensibility to the
advancing civilization of the world
presents a problem that future
generations will be compelled to
solve, and the indications are that
it will not be solved without the
most dire results.

EX-MAYOR TAUSSIG REPLIES TO DIR.
M'GllL.
JERSEY CITY, April 9, 1s9s.

JERSEY CITY, April 9, 1892.
To the Editor Of the jersey City Netcs-
In last nights Journal / see that DR..
J. D. McGill questions the statements of
actual facts as related by me in your
issue of Thursday, the 9TH. referring to
the record made by The Hon. Allan l..
McDermott while member of the Board
of Finance and Taxation. The Doctor
claims that Mr.. Taussig's statements
are not true" My answer is that Judge
Beach. Simeon H. Smith ana Marmaduke
Tilden will substantiate all have related
prior to their resignation from the Board
of Finance. That DR.. McGill did write
several letters and statements. and not
one only, as he claims. to the Journal, in
which he attacked the financial policy of
the Board of which he was member, can
be proved by the files of the Euening Jour
nal, winter of 1888 to 1884 AS for his state
ments that 1 compelled Mr.. Otto Witsc h
to resign against his will by bringing
pressure to bear through his employer, l
pronounce it untrue and Mr.. Otto Hep
penheimer will corroborate what say.
1t is, however, true that I was candi-
date for a third term and that withdrew
from the race and that DR.. j. ID. McGil.
received the nomination. but was defeat
ed. 1t is untrue that was directly or in
directly the cause of his defeat or respon-
sible for his non election. 1T seems strange
that SO good and loyal Democrat as DIR.
McGill is should at the present
time make attacks on fellow
Democrats. and 1 am positive that any ar
ticles which had reference to the action of
the Board of Finance while both the Doc
tor and Mr.. McDermott were members
thersof, were not intended to throw any
individual discredit nor to attack the
Board in any manner,
In conclusion l desire to state, that any
statements that l have made have been
only for the best interests of The Demo.
cratic candidate whose record | saw as
sailed by fellow Democrats. hence my an
swer and reply thereto.

HOW TIE DEBT WAS PILED UP.

NEW YORK, April II, 1899.
To the Editor of the JERSEY City Netos.-
notice in Republican journals of this
morning statement of the amount of
the debt of Jersey City, and in the articles
printed they blame the Demo cratic party
for the large amount of the debt. can
explain of my own personal knowledge in
regard to portion of this debt, as fol-
lows:-
In 1885 and 1885 I was the President of
the Board of Water Commissioners of
Jersey City, Board elected by the voters
of Jersey City. At that time the water
debt was about $1,000, 600. The RepubIi
can Legislature of that year legislated
out Of Office all of the Commissioners who
were Democrats elected by the people in
that Board. and appointed Republicans
instead.
Within about two years of the time
these new-appointed officers took their
places they increased the water debt of
ersey City about s., ,000, 900, and the bonds
of the city were issued for the amount.
think 5000, 900 in money honestly expend.
ed would have purchased all the tax pay
ers got for that increase of the debt.
These appointees held office for severa r
years. and during that time the debt of
Jersey City swelled up to the magnificent
proportions of today, and the real bene-
fits accruing to the taxpayers are about
in the proportion as above stated.
Think I know the situation in Jersey

Truths.

To the Editor ofthe JERSEY cita Ne,cs:-
of Saturday last, notice they had me
quoted as an alleged" union man. They
quoted me that way simply because
spoke in behalf of Mr.. McDermott That
paper accused Mr. McDermott of running
''rat" office, and that statement. to start
with, can prove to be false. To those
who think the Journal is the personifica-
ton of unionism, propose to prove
through the columns of The NEWS that
the word alleged" belongs to the jour
nal and not to me. My record as a men,
ber and an officer of Typographical Union
No. 8, OF New York, and of No. 94 of this
city, proves conclusively my senti-
ments on all union mat
ters, and defy any man in
the printing business or in fact any men,
ber of any labor organization to say any
thing derogatory to my character as
union man. But as the Journal has
quoted me as an "alleged" union man in
connection with the Mayoralty campaign.
simply because spoke as an individualin
favor of Allan L. McDermott, will prove
to your readers that the Journal is not

M'DERM0TI'S PLEA FOR THE HIGH
SCHOOL.

To the Editor of the Jerse9 City Neaos.-
Some years ago, when we were students
in the High School of this city. there was
meeting Of citizens called in the Alder
manic Chamber to protest against the
continuance of that school.
We remember. il company with some
of our classmates, pressing our way into
the City Hall and listening to the attacks
which were made on the High School.
The eloquence seemed to be all on one
side, and we concluded that the school,
in which we felt so much interest, would
very shortly be thing of the past.
The last peaker against our cause was
one of the most prominent and eloquent
men in the State of New Jersey. When
he finished his address we concluded that
it was all up with our school. We were
mistaken. There arose from the centre
of the hall an unexpected champion of
our cause. We shall never forget how
coolIy he stepped in front of that crowd
of citizens, nine-tenths of whom seemed
to be against him. He looked every citi-
zen straight in the eye before saying
word, and when he started to speak the
attention of every man in that room was
fixed upon his commanding form and his
strong, intellectual face. Before he fin
ished he had by his mastery eloquence
and the ability with which he handled
the subject completely turned the tide In
our favor.
That man who at the age of twenty-four
(24 dared cross swords with one of the
most eloquent and influential members of
his own party, and in the face OF an op-
posing public sentiment, plead the cause
of the Jersey City High School was Allan
L. McDermott.
Should not every graduate of the High
School, as well as every citizen interested
in the cause of education, and the general
prosperity and progress of Jersey City,
vote for such man?
