The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1892-06-09
The Chinese Advocate, kpolcgist,
Defender and Friend.

The Logan Republican Gazette of
last week has langhthy discussion
on the Chinese question. The edl-
itor is a postmaster, and dare not
repudiate the act of his president in
sanctioning the bill but the doctrine
of making the Chinese our fellow
citizens is openly favored, and the
American instructive loathing to the
vilest of pagans is denounced.
This position of our obscure CO.
temporary might pass without much
heed or concern, but when it emf
mates from the chairman of the Re-
publican state committee it has a
significance that will demand atten-
tion.
awe do not share the general
prejudice of the Chinese" says the
chairman of the state committee in
his paper. ssWho is WEI" Does
Mr.. Pursell speak for himself as an
individual; does he speak for the
patrons of his paper; does he speak
for the Republicans of Hooking
county whose organ his paper is;
does he speak as chairman of the
Republican state committee, for
that committee and for the Repub-
lican party of Ohio?
Our contemporary has indulgently
attributed to the SENTINEL, when it
differed with the Gazette, defeated
it upon issues before the public, as
being tcrazy--Green is crazy
This can not be plead in Pursell's
case. He is not crazy. He is cool,
clear, calculating. lie feeds upon
a Ceasar meat that makes him
key-noter. He "does not share in
the general prejudice against the
Chinese" and we are forced to the
conclusion that he speaks for the
Republican party of Hooking and
Ohio, Vickers and Mckinley Gros-
venor and the gang.
We give below some sentiments
that will be interesting when pre-
served.
From the Rapub; lean Gazette June ell
We do not altogether share the general
pref iudice against the Chinese. II sometimes
occurs TO us that this prejudice is unreasOu
able. We listen to the howl that goes up
against the heather who labors patiently
ard lives frugally, be ,alse said heatheu IN
terftres with white labor and high wages
We hear only the objections, born of Ireju-
dice, and We never hear any of The virtues

may work cheaper and do better work than
an, other foreigner in this country. He may
observe our laws better and give us less
trouble. He may attend to his own business
and let that OF others alone more than dos 8
othe, foreigners. He may strike less, inter

our land is crowded. Who is il that hLwls
most against the Chinahlan? 1t is not the |
native American. II is not the man who is
absorbed III his own business. II is not the |
honest, earnest laboring man, who has no |
time nor care for other peoples business. |
The Chinaman Is a heathen. He sticks to
his creed tenaciously. He doesn't change |
views on that score, no matter where he |
lives. DO other foreigners change their re. |
licious views when they come TO TINS coun- |
try? How many OF us worship God |
AT all. And still The poor ChInaman goes !
along, minGins his own business, paying his |
bin. promptly, in erfering with nobody. He ,
seldom appeals to tile courts. He Suffers un- |
com plui n ingly, and still we torture him.
