STAGE ROiSiBING.
Two Hold Ups Occur Between Great Falls

Two Hold Ups Occur Between Great Falls
 and Billings.
 HELENA, Mont, June lS.-Details of the robbery of the stage that runs be- tween Great Falls and Billings have been recelved.
 The first occurred June near Lorina, in Fergus county, and the mail was car ried that day in q road wagon with no cover. Bill Nagus was driver. Halsey Watson, of Lewiston, and his mother were passengers. They had about S2OO with them, but they were unmolested . The robber took out two pouches of mail aud the treasury box. He then shot one of the stage horses aud com manded the driver to go on with one animal. He had to go this way seven miles to Fairview before he could pro- cure another horse or give the alarm.
 The second. robbery was on Steep Bluff, a mile and half north of Lorina, at 8 o'clock the next morning. One man lay behind bluff and held Win chester rifle on the driver. This rob bery was witnessed by County Com missioner McCOurt, of Fcfgus county, who with some workmen was on a bridge over the Mussel Shell and on the opposite side of Lorina from the rob bery. The postofiica inspectors are on the trail and the government has oi- fered $500 for the capture of the thieyes

ruEEasr AND THE CHINESE.

Two hard things to contend with are ignorance which thinks itself wise, and prejudice which believes itself just. Western men have continually to fight against this sort of eastern ignorance and prejudice. The contest is weari- some and in some respects hopeless, for the day will probably never come when the east will not think itself wiser and more just than the west.
 They assume to know more about the Chinese than the people among whom they have lived for nearly half cen tury. They presume to reprove the citizens of the west for believing that thousands of the Chinese in this coun- try are cruel, licentious and degraded, and that with hardly an exception, all of them are alien in their impulses to- ward American civilization.
 They do not know the true inward ness of the Chinamau, Could the peo- pie of the east see a Chinese letter re- gently received by Miss Culbertson, matron of the Presbyterian Chinese home of San Francisco, which threat ened her with death and the destruction of the mission if she did not cease to interfere with the traffic in women for immoral purposes, winch is so common in the Chinese quarter, they might learn something. It brought to light a phase of Chinese character concerning which the people of the east, are, as a rule. ignorant. Highbinder societies defy the courts in the western cities, and murder and rapine run riot among the almond-eyed Mongolians.
 It seems impossible with our methods of court procedure to punish these Chi nese murderers and break up the high. binder societies. Many people would like to see the whole matter turned over to the Chinese vice-consul by giving him criminal jurisdiction in cases aTis- ing between Chinese. Of course this is impracticable, but it is highly probable that if it were done it would result in the breaking up of the highbinder so- cieties. The consul would behead many of the highbiuders or send them back to China for execution.
