upon those noble traits in woman

fragile, feeble, delicate certain lady

But, then, there was a Telegram
of fifteen words to an editor il

CANADA AND THE CHINESE,
The Dominion Government Refuses to
Change the Immigration Act.

The Dominion Government Refuses to
Change the Immigration Act.
Several attempts have been made by
labor organizations of the Dominion to
induce the government to impose further
restrictions on Chinese immigration.
The government has Just passed an order
in council which practically settles its
policy in that regard. The order, after
reciting the circumstances which called
it forth. says:
Whatever sympathies may exist and
Whatever VIEWS may be held on the SUBJ
Ject gcnerally-Or more particularly with
reference to Chinese exclusion. or to such
restrictions as are demanded Ivy the petit
tioners-they must, in so far at least as
exclusion is concerned. be held to be sub
ordriate 10 the obligations solennly en-
tered into betwec:, two great and friend
ly nations, and no action should be taken
which coald he construed by the imperial
government as iniInical OF as infrinS-
ing upon treaty rights.
lin view OF the commercial relations of
Canada with China, it is not cxpedient
to change the provisions Of the Chinese
immigration act nor TO take any action
that might be considered by the Chinese
government as an invasion of the spirit
OF treaty obligations or as an uneriendly
act.
1T is deemed impolitic and unneces-
sary TO recommend the alternative OK
pedient of raising the capitation tax to
$500. The suggestion that every China
man or woman IN Canada be taxed TO
the amount of $500 each year, and that
said tax be p.id into the treasury of the
municipality or city in which they may
be found il n question for the consider
ton of others than the government of
the Dominion. Special.

And disappointmcn:s, griefs and cares
Have hcdgcd us roundabout,
And many n sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives, and yet
We've dono the very best we could

For out OF evil coed has como,
And out OF darkness light,
