CHINESE EXCLUSION.
A British Columbia Opinion OF Chinese
Immigration.
~ a n yevs-Adyertiser.


Vancouver, B. C., News-Advertiser.
Il is all very well for religious or other or
CARNATIONS, either in New York or In our own
Eastern provinces, to pass RESOLUTIONS oepre-
eating the restriction or exclusion OF Chinese
immigration. The people OF those parts, lar
distant as they are. thousands OF miles from the
Pacific, feel no pressure of Chinese immigration,
and stand in no immediate danger of the occu-
patton of their borders by hordes of Mongols OF
ciannish characteristics, who decline to assini-
late themselves to Western conditions, and per-
sistently retain all the Objectionable features OF
q sordidly repulsive heathenism-
Were there, however. no stringent restrictions
on Chinese settlement on this Pacific coast this
province of ours would, a. every one here knows
or should know, not only be flooded with such
a MAS of Asiatic cheap labor as would almost
wholly exclude the better class of white work
ers, but our land would be actually colonizsd
by the Mongolians TO such an extent that in less
than a decade British Columbia would possess Q
heather Chinese population far exceeding the
white in citizenship of the province. China
would turn her surplus population into this fair
land by the hundred thousand; and British
Columbia would in fact, il not In name. become
q small replica OF the Flowery Kingdom
1t would, OF course, be very different were we
able 70 assimilate to ourselves most OF the Chi
ness inconers and make good British Columbian
citizens of them; but this is found impossible,
save in the case of very few, who honestly adopt
the Christian faith and assume with it the bet
ter habits Of Western civilization. We have,
however, to look to facts, not theories, and
therefore find no difficulty in supporting, on the
plea OF urgent racial necessity, most restrictive
policy in regard to Chinese immigration; Brit
ish Colombia can never consent to be made into
Little China, thing that would most surely
come OF what some few even here seem foolishly
to advocate-the free admission of Chinese i'm
migration, however large and clannish.

SIXTY CENTS VERSUS TEN.

The Shelton Sentinel (Democratic), in the
midst of an editorial attack upon the Re-
publican policy in general and the McKin-
ley bill in par ticular, declares;
The laboring people are finding out that the
man who setuaiiy tiils the soil and the woman
who picks the hops gets no more when hops are
90 cents per pound than when they are worth
but 10 cents.
This is the most arrant nonsense. There
is not q laboring man, farmer, property
holder or a capitalist in the state of Wash
ington who is not benefited, directly or in
directly, when so important product of
the state Is hops commapds an increased
price. One would think that school-boy
of less than average intelligence would be
able to comprehend this.
If the Democrats of Washington wish
TO make an issue on the question of 10
cents for hops versus go, the Republicans
are willing to accept it. If there is citi-
zen of Washington who desires to see the
price Of hops lowered he should by all
means vote the Democratic ticket.

Lee made the only serious military mis-
take of his career.
Meade held the shorter line, strong
position, and had the most men. 50 when
his lines were broken he could reinforce
from the right to left rapidly. restore ms
lines and drive back his ASSISTANTS with
great loss, as he did on the second and
the third day of the battle. Lees success
the first day had led him to underrate
his enemy and to forget that the odds OF
position were strongly against him, but
his warlike blood was up and his obssinacy
and imprudence cost him dear. as he con-
fessed the next winter in letter to Long
street, in which he said. "If had only
taken your advice at Gettysburg how dif-
ferent everything would be now"
Grants only serious mistake, as he con-
fesses himself, was his assault of Lees inn
pregnable lines at Cold Harbor. Lee never
did anything so instinct with true mill
tary genius as Grants Vicksburg cam
paign, but, as we have already said, Lees
inferiority in numbers and resources COM
PEELED him to prudence. OF course, neither
Lee nor Grant was of the Napoleonic stat
ure of soldiers. While it is difficult to de-
termine the comparative merits Of two
great commanders whose work was so diff
ferent, We are disposed to believe that
Grant was the greater soldier in purely
offensive campaign. while Lee was without
a peer as defensive commander.
The distance between Grant and all the
rest of the Army of the Potomac COM
manders was that his physical courage,
nerve and pugnacity we're backed by extra
ordinary moral courage and resolution.
Not so great tactician as Sheridan, or
Meade or Hancock or several other of his
subordinates, Grant was above and beyond
them all great commander in this that
he never got ratified by disaster. McClel-
Ian, Burnside, Hooker and even Meade
lacked this union of physical and moral
courage and never grasped for success
with the full strength of their military
arm,

In the great summer campaign of 1854
with Grant, Lee was fairly outgeneraled
when Grant lifted up his army from Cold
Harbor and carried it across the James
river. General Beauregard, in his memoirs,
publishes his dispatches to Lee of June Z,
9 and IA, warning Lee of the imminent
danger of Petersburg. Beauregard sent
his aide the night of June IA to Lee. telling
him that large force of Grants army was
across the James moving on Petersburg.
Lee refused to believe it, and yet Grants
army had started the night of the 18th,
and at the very time Lee declined to be-
lieve the news 1900 men under General
William +. Smith were assaulting Peters
burg, defended by 900 men. This force
was not reinforced until the evening of the
18th, and Petersburg. says Beauregard,
was at the mercy of Smith until the morn
ing of the 10th, had that soldier had the
enterprise to have entered 1t.
