ANOTHER PESSIMIST.

Senator Morgan oof Alabama
whose opinion on the certainty OF
annexation Is quoted by our friends
here, Is, after all, only a degraded
pessimist. Read his remarks in the
closing hours Of the Senate, as re-
ported by telegram to San Francis
co on July "a: Senator Morgan
asked the Senate to take up annex
alton and suggested that events of
might transpire before
another session Of Congress, which
would cause the Senate TO regret
its action"
If the Senator had been in close
communication with our friends
here, he would never have made
such distressingly pessimistic re
mark. But he is coming 10 see us,
and we shall all be Alabamians in
our welcome Of him. He viii soon
be put right on the annexation
question by our friends. In telling
the Senators that something dread
full would happen if they didn't
annex at once, he made things look
very black. No one seconded his
the telegram says. He
had that nervous, pessimistic rattle
which is best cured by ten drops OF
'foregone conclusion" medicine.
Perhaps, as our genial cotem-
porary would suggest, he has been
eating too many good dinners at
Chamberlain's, in Washington, but
when he comes out to this land of
very plain living, and Is chained
down for a few weeks to fish and
poi, he viii begin to see how grie-
vously he has misunderstood the
situation in Washington.
The Senator Is an ever-faithful
friend, with a large, wholesome
working faith in annexation. But
he does not spend much time in
building, as Josh Billings SAYS,

ITALIAN LABOR.

We print, In another column, an
interesting letter, received by Mr..
S. N. Damon, on the subject of
Italian immigration as a source of
labor supply.
The subject is not new. 1t has
been looked into before, but as Us
ual no steps were ever taken to get
the laborers. With Asiatics at our
back door, and transportation at a
nominal cost, there has been no
reason for looking elsewhere, ex-
cepting for our fear Of being over
whelmed by numbers. As a com
munity, We are here most emphat-
ically not for the unbusinesslike
purpose Of building up a "ciiviliza-
ton" We, as a community, want
cheap labor
The history Of Italian immigra-
ton in the United States is most
interesting The townspeople Of
Italy are not valuable, but the
farmers from the rural districts do
well Some years ago C. Z. Ian

large tract of the barren, sandy
land of that State, which Ameri-
cans refused TO occupy. With con-
slant effort and great-care, he Sc
cured laborerS from the rural dis
tricts Of Italy. To these he sold
small tracts of land and encour-
aged them in Intensive" agricul-
ture. One may now ride for many
miles around Vineland over fine
roads and through a country laid
out in small farms, cultivated with
great care and occupied with fine
cottages, standing within pretty
gardens. Many of the poor emf
grants are now well off. Some of
them are rich. The natives of New
Jersey speak well of them, They
take special care in the education
Of their children.

In stating the case of the China,
on Thursday last, we inadvertently
substituted the word must" in
copying the law providing that
the Collector "shall' register a yes
sci when requested to do so, and
the conditions are complied with.
The case may possibly turn on the
point, whether the word "shall'
has the same meaning as may" or
whether it is an obligatory word
and allows the Collector-General
no discretion.

CHINESE INCLUSION.

Mr.. Goo Kim's protest against
the exclusion of the Chinese is nat
ural enough, from his point of
view, and may be right when look
ed at from the highest point of
view, which is the Scriptural.
But he is dealing with a prob
lem in American civilization which
we also, are working at. 1t is rather
complicated, involved and about
as dark as chaos, where even the
cats could not see each other.
The people of the United States
were willing enough TO let the
Chinese in, 50 long as they could
make money out of them. But
when the Chinese reversed the pro
cess, and made money out of the
American people, 1t suggested at
once a serious difficulty. When
the British bombarded Canton in
1910, and knocked dwon the walls,
the Americans followed the Brit
ISL very closely, and opened up
trade with the Chinese. Since we
have discovered how clever these
people are, we feel bound in Jus
tice and goodness, to classify them
as heather, worshippers of idols,
who have no business with US. Our
conduct is put ON the ground OF
business morality, or as an Oregon
paper said 40 avoid imminent
peril, in the growth of our superior
civilization, and to secure the
glorious destiny Of the greatest ma
ton Of the earth"
The principle on which this ex-
elusion Is based, Is not quite settled

In our japanese case, the Min

that II would not amount to any
thing, and We hope it viii not.
But It Is, after all, taking 8 some

But Mr.. lands told us. three
years ago, that in selecting his i'm
migrants he picked out good
men without much regard to the
.eheapness of their labor. He want
ed good, moral backbone in his
new community.
We, as a business community.
don't care about this backbone. "
We are after cheap labor. Scrubs
will do for us, if they are only
cheap. The missionaries can al
WAYS be turned loose on them. We
are not looking for quality and
character, but low prices. The old
darkey prefers twenty-dollar
mule TO hundred-dollar mule, be-
cause the latter increases the price
OF production. II You tell him
that the high-priced mule does bet
ter work than the scrub mule, he
simply says: Reckon you hain't
been in de cornfeld."
At present, of course, any immi-
grafton from Europe, under con
.ract for labor, even if not penal, is
'ut of the question, in view of an
lexation. Under the American
aw it IS not permitted.
