CHINESE IMMIonArIOM.

From the most reliable sources Of
information the conclusion 10 drawn
that the Chinese exclusion act 10 in
operative to such degree asto warrant
the further conclusion that il 10 fail
ure. In other words it does not re-
strict Chinese immigration, nor are its
terms complied with BY the Chinese al
ready In this country. The 0esry act
requires that within one year from
May 5. 1892, all Chinamen IN this
country shall furnish photographs of
themselves to be attached to certifi-
Gates Of repatriation and filed with col
lectors of internal revenue. This re-
quirement is for the purpose Of secur-
ing identification papers to carry out
the other provisions of the act. Out of
l07, 475 mongolians in this country only
four have complied with the Law up to
this time. II il fact that Cinnamon
in this country know no law except ~ 1t
may be incorporated into the rules and
orders Of the Six companies. This con-
trolling power has issued instructions
to all Cinnamon not to comply with
the Geary act. The Cinnamon will
obey that injunction. They deport
themselves in obedience to the COM
mands Of the Six companies whether

rect peaceful acquiescence In and to

man is !aw-abiding or murderous, al
lowsnce being made for the perverslty
of AL mortals, he is 90 because the Six
companies direct and order him TO-
be. The people of this country are
brought to face something more obdur-
ate and powerful than individual
Cinnamon. or the Chinese government.
That something is the Six companies.
Anarchy was never intrenched so firmly
in autocratic power. These organiza-
tons, consolidated into . central ex-
ecutive head, control the acts of over
1o0. 600 persons in this country. They
defy our laws, and hesitate to adopt
no expedient 10 circumvent the ends of
justice. BY their friendly aid and en-
couragement hordes of Cinnamon are
smuggled into this country over the
borders Of British Columbia and Mex.

unequal to the task of keeping them

FLOUR AND FEED COMBINE.
Local Dealers Say They Are Not Selling
Probably.

Iro0tao1Y.
The Wholesale -four and feed dealers
of the city are taking steps to form .
combine whereby uniform price for
ground feed can DO established. For
the last year or more the dealers have
been competing among them-
selves to such an extent that
prices are lowered far below
what they would like. and they claim
the goods are being sold at no profit.
The combination would make pos
sible the governing Of prices By the
Chicago markets on corn and the De-
trolt markets on oats, giving tho dealer
. reasonable profit for his goods. Az
it has been the Wholesalers have been
obliged to allow decline in the mar
kets, while they have in most cases
been unable to profit By raise in grain
markets. All the Wholesale dealers
will probably DO In, and they will ofkef
protection to the smallest dealers.
