THE CITIZEN
A USE FOR CHINAMEN.
Work That White Men Cannot Be
Hired to Do.
Here Is q Proposition Which Might Fur
nish q Partial Solution of the
PerpIexins Chinese
Problem.

Some days ago the Portland Oregon
| ian said: ''If we had at this moment
| forty thousand more Chinese in the Pa
cifc in the northwest to do the work
which white men will not do, and
which yet is necessary for development
| of the country, the result would be
good for everybody" A correspondent
writes that che would like to be in
formed what the nature of that work
| is," and the Oregonian thus responds:
The occupation IN which Chinese la
| Dor would mainly be useful is that of
clearing our heavily timbered lands.
| This is labor which white men will not
or do not to any extent perform. Thus
far nearly all the work of clearing our
lands has been performed by Chinese.
But it has come to stop. Since Chi
nese immigration was suspended it has
become impossible to get labor for this
purpose. Higher wages are demanded
| by Chinese, and no owner of timber
land can afford to hire it cleared. tits
easy, of course, to assert that there are
plenty of white men ready to perform
labor of this kind and to denonnce the
owners of the land for employing them,
but there is test of this matter that
may be very simply made. There are
immense areas of this land yet open
for settlement. Government will give
them away to all citizens who apply.
But our workingmen refuse to take
these lands and subdue them. They
wouldn't clear the lands for the gift of
them, doubtless because they think
they can do better, and many of them
may be right
Here then is line of work IN which
Chinese would not be in the way Of
white labor, and there is nothing more
necessary for development of the
country than the clearing of large
bodies of these lands. The work is
now practically at stand. Again,
Chinese labor would be useful in mar
ket gardening and fruit growing. Or
egon and Washington do not grow
vegetables enough by one-half for their
own consumption. What we have in
the way of market gardening now is
largely the work of Chinese. Facts
like these are facts in spite of all decla-
nation.
AS people the Chinese are not
desirable class, since they are unfit
for incorporation into the citizenship
of the country, but in every respect
they are far less Objectionable and
dangerous than tens of thousands from
European countries who are admitted
without question every year-anarch-
lists; agitators, beggars, mountebanks
and criminals of every degree. The
country can do without Chinese, of
course, but much work that would
contribute to its development will re-
main undonc. There is no probability
that Chinese VIII ever be freely ad-
mitted again, and this, too, in all the
circumstances is well, since the pres
ence of an inferior race among supe-
rior beings like ourselves is always a
source of discomfort which political
agitators continually inhame. In all
circumstances, therefore, exclusion of
the Chinese 10 advisable, or even nee
essary, but still word now and then
on certain phases of the subject die
tated by candor and common sense, may
not be intolerable.

The Indian Was "Heeled.- -

Quinnemore, formerly chief Of the
Ceur d'Alcne Indians, has fine farm
of one hundred and sixty-seven acres
on the south side of Spokane river,
about dozen miles above Spokane,
Wash, and the other day the tax gath
erer thought it would be "A very proper
and desirable thing TO tax 1t good
round sum. So he came smilingly with
his bill. But Quinnemore was prepared
for him, even on such an unexpected
mission. He brought forth paper
which in part read thus: 'This patent
is issued upon the express condition
that the title thereby conveyed shall
not be subject TO taxation of any char
acter, but shall remain inalienable and
not subject to taxation for the period
Of twenty years from the date thereof,
rs approved January 1s, 1881" The as
SCISSOR apologized and withdrew, not
smiling.

A Queer Mnger.

An American acrobat in Vienna late
ly won a queer wager. He bet a con-
siderable sum with Vienna strong
man that he could not endure TO have
q liter OF water fall drop by drop from
height of three feet upon his hand.
When three hundred drops had fallen
the athletes face became red and he
looked as II in pain. At the four hun
dred and twentieth drop he gave up,
saying 1t was impossible TO bear tho
pain any longer. The palm of his hand
was swollen and infamed, and in one
place the skin had broken open. Only
small portion of the liter of water
had gone to make up the four hundred
and twenty drops.

-"Ello, There, shoy'lin' out the cellar,
are youf" No, you darn fool. I'm
shoveling out the dirt and leaving the
cellar, was the laconie reply, and the
man went away with his breath.
In Johnson County, sWyo., there Is
what is called the Burning Mountain. 1t
is an immense coal bank that has been on
fire ever since the first white man visited
that country. There are many traditions
among the Indians as to the origin of the
fire, but all point to its great antiquity,
and it is possible that this bank has been
burning for 200 or 800 years. :. The country
around presents singularly barren appear
ance, which is not in the lelst improved by
by the mountain itself In places there
are reefs of coal crop out and high wind
fans the fire to a FURIOUS blaze: Elsewhere
the fire is mainly under ground and indi-
Gated only by the heat of the. surface and
the inmumerable jets of smoke and
toug1es of flame that appear through the
cracks in the baked earth. 1t is dangerous
to 90 about the place, for not only are
there frequent eavings Of the surface, but
the gasses which arise from the burning
coal are overpowering.

MAKE NO MISTAKE.

Though the meeting of the Executive
Committee was held at the regular
time, the new schedule for county
meetings did not get out as early as it
should to prevent confusion. Some
counties had already decided to have
their meetings on the second Thursday
in October.
The schedule was published in THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER last week and
will be found on 4th page this week.
The date opposite the name of your
county is the time to hold the meetings.
Each county had already decided the
point at which the meetings would be
held. That is all right. The Executive
Committee could only name the day
on which a speaker could be with you,
and, of course, each county will try to
meet accordingly. The place of meet
and number of days is immaterial.
But let the date for the speaking be
one of the meeting days, if you have
more than one day. Your local papers
can aid by publishing the date and
place of your next county meeting as
early as possible.

OUR TRIBUTE TO ENGLAND.

On u first page Mr.. Murdoch tells
of the enormous tribute we, as a debtor
nation, pay to England for carrying
our securities. In another column Mr..
Peele puts it as strong as possible under
the head of Farming" MI. Gladstone
referred to this matter in a recent
speech, which was quoted by Senator
Stewart a few days ago in the United
States Senate.
England has the world by the throat
as a creditor nation. Her capitalists
have bought our securities, both public
and private, until we are at her mercy,
The decentralization act of 1873 was the
downward starting point for us. The
Bland and Sherman laws were passed
with the consent of England to give us
another start forward until England
could gather in more of our securities.
The repeal of the Sherman law is proof
that England thinks the time is again
ripe for a gold basis. A majority of
the members of the present Congress,
backed by a goldbug President, are the
tools used to do the work. They have
started out we'll, and time is all they
want. Had the present Congress de-
sired the country might have regained
much already lost. The free coinage
of silver and other needed legislation
would have put us out of reach of Eng
land. With high prices for farm prod
ucts we could soon get in a position to
make England and France pay good
prices and gradually bring back the
gold paid as tribute to those countries.
AS it is, with all our boosted freedom

FAILURES FOR TWO WEEKS

For the week ending September 16sh,
there were 314 failures, as reported by
Dun'8 ReUieaU:. Two concerns owed
over 800, 600 Forty-eight owed from
SIS, 900 to 800, 900 each. The total liza.
biIities for the week were S., 118, 685.
For the same week last year there
were 154 failures.
For the week ending September 23d,
there were 319 failures, five more than
for the preceding week. Five of them
had liabilities of over 800, 900. This
shows that instead of diminishing the
failures are growing again, and for
larger amounts. This, too, after ICON
idence has been restored" ca and with
good crops of nearly everything going
on the market, all of which is further
proof that the Sherman law had moth
ing to do with it, and that a lack of
money is the sole cause.
