A POWERFUL ORGANIZATION.

The Chinese Six Companies of San
Francisco is probably to-day the most
powerful organization in America. The
way the Geary Exclusion act is treated
by the American authorities is a sample
Of their power. They taxed the poor
Cinnamon in this country $500, 900 for
the purpose of defeating the law, and
how well they have succeeded is patent to
all. They think and assert that the
white devils"-as they designate Ameri.
cans-can be diverted from their purpose
il they scatter money among them, just
as they mollify evil spirits by scattering
fire.crackers.
This combination Of Cinnamon tried to
get Judicial decision multiplying the law,
and when they could not they proceeded
to arrange with the "white devil" exec.
utive officers for non.execution Of the
law, and from present appearances they
have succeeded. The $500, 900 has un-
doubtedly been placed where it will do
the most good.

the Attorney General was told that he
must do nothing more than he was COM
PEELED to do in the matter. He objected
to the interference with his plans. but he
was quickly made to understand who
was bossing the machine, just as his
colleagues had been before him. and he
suddenly concluded to make visit to
Boston, leaving the District Attorney at
Chicago to make his fight for Sunday
closing alone, and without even the
moral support Of the administration.

State. He will resume his connection

manner: "The Treasury Department

been the most expensive of our mints in

CARLISLE. Secretary OF the Tres,

CARLISLE, Secretary of the Treasury,
says in his order closing the Carson Mint
that there is no demand for silver dollars.
Wonder what his predecessor, Foster,
who failed the other day for over half
. million, now thinks about the silver

department last year his thoughts ran in
the same groove that Carlisle's now do,
using such twaddle as ''our country pay

ating its obligations" etc., This same
Foster now has the hardwood to propose
settling. with his creditors at fifty cents
on the dollar, and silver dollar at that!
