day with his wife. They are on their
way to the worlds fair. In the after
noon they took drive about st. Paul,
and expressed themselves delighted
with the city. They said it was about
the most slightly city they had ever
seen. Mr.. Miller has at Dixon farm
of 1000 acres, his principal industry
being dairying. He has large cream
cry on his farm, and picks up money
until it makes him weary to count it.
| He has other landed interests in the
i state, aud is on the constant look out
| for investments. He is greatly in favor
| fOf the enforcement OF the Geary law.
/ The United States marshall" said he,
s"arrested number of coolies some
| weeks ago and took them before
District Judge Ross, at Los An
,geles. The judge found that
! they were tit subjects for deportation,
and ordered them deported. This set
| the ball rolling. and the marshal began
gathering the Chinese in by the hun
dreds; but before the ones he had in
| charge could be tried he received word
from Attorney General Olney to make
|
had on hand. For my part l think it
would be good plan to permit the
| Cinnamon now in California to remain,
upon their complying with the Geary
| law; but we don't want any more to
| come from China. The Chinese labor
erS are very valuable to the fruit grow
| erS. Our fruit Industries are such that
| we must have cheap labor in order to
make it at all profitable. If the growers
were forced to depend upon white labor
| there would soon be unions which
would force the price of LABOR up to a
| point which would paralyze the fruit
| business
DR.. F. Walton Todd and wife, of
| Stockton, CAL, were guests OF the Ryan
| yesterday. DR.. Todd Is '49er, who has
amasSed large fortune, and six years
ago retired from a profession he had
| practiced fifty years. A few weeks ago
he returned to America from three
years tour in Europe. He came from
Manitoba to st. Paul, and is OH his way
| to the worlds fair. The doctor said of
| silver sentiment in California that he
| believed il the matter were put to a
| vote OF the people of the state the policy
| of President Cleveland would carry by
large majority. The free silver dogma,
| he said, was the mouthing of the poll
ticians, aud not of the people of the
state. and the politicians were Influenced
| by silver mine owners.
| The people of California" said he,
care with the president on the none
| tary question, but against him Oh his
ia sNr,lf
people this side of the Rocky Mountains
understood the situation with US they
would entertain very different view
of the Geary law. That law Is wise
and good one. Do you know what the
| Chinese Six Companies are? Well, I'll
| tell you. They are Il combination of
Chinese merchants. There is not
white mani i'll the outfit. Their bust
| ness is to import to America Chinese
| goods and coolies. The coolies they
bring here are as much slaves as the
poems of Mexico. They are kept con-
stantly in debt to the Six Companies.
| and are as p0werleSS to obtain their
| freedom III this free land of America as
| though they lived in China The Six
| Companies do not pretend to
abide by American law. They
| live IN San Francisco, but under the
| Chinese law. They have their high
binders TO enforce the Chinese law
| When a cOolie rebels against their
authority as his master. or in any way
! IncurS their diSpleaSure, he is set upon
by the highblnders, aud logged or
| Killed as suits the desires of the mast
erS. After the Blair Chinese exclusion
law was passed the Six Companies con-
tinued to bring coolies here by the
thousands, smuggling them into the
| country by way of Mexico and Canada.
| IEey brought them across the Pacific
by the ship-load. landing them at some
obscure sea coast town of British Col
umbia or Mexico. aud then marching
them III small numbers across the line
| into America. The Chinese coolies bear
! SO strong a resemblance to each other
that the California authorities were
unable to detect the new ilnportations;
they only knew that the Chinese popu-
lation was rapidly increasing So it be
| came necessary TO pass the Geary law.
We did not wish to drive out the China
men already here, for they were useful
| TO the industries of California. but we
! did not want any more TO come, for
their methods of living enable them 10
drive out all white labor. The Geary
law affords protection to ali decent
Cinnamon; in fact. to all the coolies
who are entitled under the law to be in
| this country California desires to
break up the Chinese empire which is
maintained in California by the SIX
| Companies.
what about Sarah Aithea Hill?
| Well, she is hopelessIy insane. and con-
| fined In the asylum at Stockton. Her
| turbulent life broke her down. and then
when she found that Judge Terry had
| left no property for her, as she had sup
! posed, she went down entirely and be
| came insane"
