REDUCTION IN WAGES.
A Cut OF 10 Per Cent To Be Made E
The c. & q.

The G. q y.
When President Ingalls, of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio was last in Richmond, he
remarked that business with his road
this year had been up to his expecta-
tions.
This was early in the summer.
The Chesapeake and Ohio, like other
roads, has probably felt very keenly the
depression in business circles. While
this road has got its share of the travel
to the Worlds Fair, this has not been
as large as was expected, and all roads
have been greatly disappointed.
1t is stated on very good authority
that the Chesapeake & Ohio has decid-
ed to make temporary reduction of ten
per cent. in the pay of all of its employ
ees and that General Manager Stevens
will, in few days, issue such an order.
1t is hoped that business will shortly
improve sufficiently for the reduction to
be restored

have also learned that Mr. Stevens has
decided not to make a reduction in the
wages of the G. & 0. employees, as was
at first contemplated. We hope that this
report may prove correct, as the pay re-
ceived by the c. & O.'s faithful en-
ployees is no more than a fair return for
the amount of work performed, and in
view of the reputation of Manager Stew

WHY RESTRICT CHINESE IM-
 MIGRATION?

Under the foregoing caption Hon. Thos J. Geary, member Of Congress from CalifCrnia aud suthor of the famous bill which bears his name, has the fol- lowing to say ia the current number of Harpers Weekly.
 The Chlrese are an undesirable i'm migration from a political, social, ard economical standpoint. We have per mitted and encouraged immigration in the past because of the belief that each immigrant had a money value, ID that bis labor, as applied to the development of the natural resources of the country, produced some new value. which en- riched the community and increased the wealth of the nation.
 The Chinese immigrants are actuated by different purposes from those of other aliens. They have no intention of remaining here longer than is necessary to acquire sum of money sufficient to maintain them in their own land. All expect 10 return there some day, taking with them the profit of their labor here.
 They bring no families with them and do not become permanent residents, but are mere birds of passage, whose labor earnings represent TO increase of wealth in the state.
 They establ sh no domestic relations here, found DO homes, and in no wise increase or promote the growth of the comunity in which thy reside, and are, fer these reason, to be considered as' different from the other immigrants, and their com;ng should be regulate d b. different laws from those applying to o her alien races who come here. The latter come, with few exceptions, with n intention of turning to their native land. Their earnings are retained here, they marry, families are established, homes builded and many other citizens fad, in time, employment in satisfy ing the wants thus created. Farms are su b. duO 6Sil 6iu6DlS obbhDliEncu. towns spring up, and the country ex- periences the benefit of their growth and developn ent.
 The Chin8msn does none of these things. He comes a bachelor and re- mains one, animated only by the desire of living as che4ply as possible, spend ing as little as DO sib'e, and returning to his native land with his earnings.
 He lives in novels that Q white man could not exist in. He aquires DO vested rights in real y, and on bis departure the country is poorer by the amount he takes with him.
 If we had in California a number of white laborers equal to the number of our Chinese, we would have retained here many millions of dollars which have besn sent to China, and we would have 8 far greater measure of prosperity than we now enjoy.
 Is it 8 good policy to encourage the immi grafton of class of laborers com ing with the purpose of the Chinese?
