MIR. HUNTINGTON TALKS.

Mr.. c. P. Huntington is reported to have
said
"The Chinese have been coming and going
as free as the winds blow for more than
thirty years, and yet no more than 80, 600
have ever come 10 mingle with our popula-
ton Of about 60.oO0.000 and / do believe
that If we should have more Of the Chinese
in California to do some Of the work they do
SO we'll. it would be the means of giving en-
pl0yment to many more Of the Caucasian
race than would fad employment without
this class of employment"
Wine ii is true that for the first thirty
years Of CALIFORNIA; existence as an Ameri-
can State Chinese came and went as they
pleased, il is also true that practically they
were just beginning TO come when the bars
were put up. Some thousands had come
before restriction was much thought of. but
it was the rapidly increasing volume of
Chinese immigration that convinced our
penDIe that restriction was an absolute
necessity. The number Of arrivals in the
few months before the first Chinese restric-
ton law went into effect indicated the swell
Ing proportions 10 the incoming tide.
Mr.. HuntiDgton's argument in favor OF
cheap labor Is as old as tie English Ian
guage. but its age would not condemn it If
American civilization did not The doe
trine that the eheap pest labor should be EN-
ployed has brought Europe to the verge of
anarchy. Labor is so poorly paid that the
life Of the laborer ceases to have value In
England and other European countries the
po0Thouse is the common refuge OF laborers
who haze passed the period Of the greatest
endurance. There is no rest either for
childhood or for age. The relentless law
Ia nI,o hill 4 -
work makes marriage an indiscretion and
:. the" family relation a mockery. Parents
can; barely support themselves; there is
nothing left for the young or the old.
Mr. Huntington believes in the survival
. of the fttest- practically 10 the survival of
the race best fitted to its surroundings The
Chinese. coming from A low state Of civil
izatfon, having solved The problem OF how
tor.do the greatest amount of work at the
least cost to maintain the physical condition
to labor. being without ineumbranee In the
way: OF family and without scruple as to
Whit becomes Of the young, the sick or the
old, can perform certain kinds ef work for
less money than the Caucasian laborer
requires to main tain his place in American
: civilization. Mr.. Huntington says prac-
.ticaliY:. Employ the cheapest Teach the
Caucasian laborer a lesson. Compel him to
acquire Chinese habits that he may work for
p. Chinese wages. Lower the American civil
ization. which requires a man to be the
bread winner Of family. to the Chinese
standard, which has no regard for the fam
lily relation.
1t is difficult to believe that Mr.. Hunting
. ton has followed his theory of the survival
of the fittest to It's logical consequence. He

= Chinese dollars dropping into the treasury
of the Southern Pacific Company as to be

OF his own race aud people.

"To THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,"

The address Of the Nicaragua canal COM
mittee to the American people showing the
: advantages Of building the Nicaragua canal
contains no arguments that have not been
made before. but several that cannot be
made 700 often. There may be a little
feeling OF disappointment that the address
does not touch upon the branch of the canal
? question uppermost In many mems minds.
The people are in favor Of the canal The
only question is how il shall he built and by
whom controlled. The canal committee aims
TO show the people that the Government
sh 0uld aid in the construction Of the canal.
This is the weak point in the present plan.
The people want the canal. They are will
ing that the Government should furnish
every dollar OF the money needed TO build
it. but at the present time they are little
sore over their experience in aiding private
companies in acquiring importation
routes. We do not say that the canal com.
pany does not mean to do what IL agrees to
do. The point is il ii can be compelled to.
When the Central Pacific Company was or
ganized nearly thirty years ago no one
dreamed that when Its bonds became due
the owners Of the road would be worth per-
senaly twice the Indebtedness Of the road
and that the road would not be worth more
than about one-half Of what it owes. One
cannot lcok ahead and see just how these
things can be done. but one can look back
and see that they have been done. Now the
Nicaragua Canal Company is In danger of
being punished yicariously. To avoid a
fate the more aggravating In proportion to
the kcenness of the consciousness that 1t Is
not deserved the canal company should
adopt plan that will put it out Of their
power to make the use Of the Government
credit that the Central Pacific people did.
1t is not enough to say that honest and
shrewd Government agents can prevent any

IN HE SENATE.

The Senate is not making good record
On the Chinese exclusion bill. The House
sent the Senate bill which would settle the
Chinese question where it will eventually
be settled, but the Senate has been trim
ming on the House bill ever since On
Monday vote was taken or a substitute,
which continues the present laws in force
ten years longer. The substitute was
adopted by vote Of 80 ayes to IA noes, but
among the noes" were the most reliable
anti-Cbinese men in the Senate. The Sem
ate substitute was then open to amendment.
and the first offered was that tie Scott
amendment should not be included In the
laws to be extended. Unless something is
done In conference committee, the country

A Business Review,

CHARLESTON, 5. g., Jan. 2.-The
News and Courier published to-day a
review Of the industrial condition of
South Carolina at the beginning of the
New Year. Its reports come from
twenty-five Counties and cover the
whole State. The farmers have suffered
greatly from the low price Of cotton
and many small farmers will liud it
difficult TO S cure advances for the next
year. Large corn crops, however, will
lelp them to tide over perhaps the
worst year in its financial results the
farmers have seen in I IN years. In all
cases where farmers have produced
their own supplies theya 9 in good con-
dition aud will begin the year with far
better prospects than their all cotton
neighbotS. Merchants report collec.
tons remarkably good considering the
low price OF COTTON. Banks have done
safe and profitable business through
out the state. Cotton mills have paid
good dividends without exception. All
manufacturing ente 'prises report q
profitable year. New mills and facto.
ries are being established in all parts OF
the State. Half ii doZen or more can
