DARING TRICK OF A BROKER
TRIES TO IMPORT A FEMALE
CHATTEL SERF.

One of the most daring attempts on rec
ord to effect the landing of a Chinese fe
male slave was made in this city a few
days ago.
A Chfnaman giving the name of FonE
Cheong obtained a writ of habeas corpu.
for the landing of his daughter, Fong Gin
Toy, a girl of 10 years. Cheong testified
before Commissioner Heacock that he wa:
a partner in the firm of Coon Yuen of Sac
ramento and that the girl was born il
that city.
The girl herself testified that she was
born at the place stated and that the wit
ness, Fong Cheong, was her father. The
case was continued for more evidence
there being a contradiction in some mat
tiers between the testimony of the girl and
that of her reputed father. Pending the
decision of the case the following letter
was received by Collector Jackson:
I beg 10 inform you that by the steamer
Gaelic on her last trip to your port, among
other Cinnamon there arrived one who gave
the name of Coon Yuen, who had two
men with him. They are now awaiting a
landing having, l learned, resorted to
writ OF habeas corpus.
Now. 1 wish to state that this man is
imposing on the Government by attempting
70 land fraudulenty He gave his name as
Coon Yuen and a resident OF this city
tSacramento). His name is not Coon Yuen
as lnere ls but one Chinaman of that name
IN TINS city, and that Is my company or
store name Besides. he claims. as 1 am
are ms wife and daughter. l have a wife
IN CHINA, but have never sent for her and
she is stu In that country. I hope YOU win
see that strict investigation is made into
this case and that this man and his women
are not allowed to land, as there are too
many frauds committed by designing i'm
posters on Cinnamon who wish to obey the
laws, and again 1 don't want the name ~
my firm to be used a means by which
such creatures may come ashore nor 10 re-
peat the crime at some future date Hopine
that ! may be able to prevent this felInyv's
imposition, L am very respectfully
COON YUEN, by FONG CHEONG
The writer of the foregoing made mis-
take when he said that the false Fnnp
Cheong was also on the steamer. He 10
in this city and was simply trying to land
the girl by the usual method of Chinese
perjury. The genuine Fong Cheong Of
Sacramento and his partner, Fong Cling.
Of the firm of Coon Yuen, told their sto,,
ries to Commissioner Heacock yesterday
afternoon. Their cross examination by
Walter, j. Tuska. counsel for the false
Fong Cheong. failed to shake them in the
least. Then Mr.. Tuska asked for con-
tinuance and said that he would produce
his client, Fong Cheong. in court A con-
.inuance was taken until Monday, when it
is not expected the false Cheong will be
visible.

MEN MAY DIFFER, BUT

Men may differ on questions of
finance systems for the nation; on
questions of national expansion; con-
cerning the tariff and even concerning
Mr.. Maguire's single tax fad; but
there should be no difference whatever
concerning the necessity for keeping
Congress in tune with the Administra-
ton policy, which is the policy Of the
nation: concerning the terms Of peace,
the ACQUISITION of the Philippines. the
construction Of the navy, the rehab1l1-
tation of Cuba and the government OF
our new provinces.
If there is sent up to Washington as
tine result of next weeks election,
Congress antagonistic to the Admins
tratfon. Spain and all the enemies of
this republic-and be 1t remembered
they are many and powerful-wiu take
heart and demand a new bargain with
us. and cause us no end of trouble.
Fact is, adverse voting at the cleo
ton of next Tuesday will be condem-
nation Of the Administration, the war
policy, and the whole work which Pres
fdent Mckinley has so nobly and un-
selfshIy carried forward to the uplift-
ing of the nation, before all the world,
and the enlargement of the sphere OF
its beneficence.

r will mt racouut the pafnfu]

I will not recount the painful
history, nor dwell upon the depIor-
able condition of our local Democ-
racy. 1t is but difficult to speak Of
this branch Of the party in the
language of polite correspondence.
Let 1t here suffice to say that our
local Democracy is under the do
minion Of a man who has been pub
Hcly charged with having openly
and notoriously purchased votes on
last election day. This charge has
been strongly supported by the
sworn and recorded testimony OF
several citizens; yet, although this
crime against the elective fran
chise is a blow at the very heart
Of our liberty, a crime more dread
full In its consequences than murder
or open treason, no citizen has yet
manifested sufficient confidence in
the Democratic officers who are
charged with conducting public
prosecutions to even h1e a COM
plaint against this alleged Of
fender.-James G. Mcguire.

'.AFOOT AND HORSEBACK" +"

Here is the Ontario observer" a
Democratic paper, until driven by dis
gust the other day out of the party,
at least sufficiently far out to lead it
to say: ''The coalition outfit that has
sprung into existence within two or
three years is negative towards meas
ures progressive, and only positive in
things illogical. 1t is a conglomeration
of all irreconcilable economic PROPOSE
tions on earth. 1t goes about afoot and
horseback simultaneously. 1t is a side
wheeler, stern propelled"
So the Observer declines to sup
port the fusionists and advocate the
election of Mr. Mcguire 1t is sick
and weary of demagogy and therefore
exclaims:
If a party has any excuse for exist
ence, it has clearly defined scheme
of government to put into operation
should it succeed in obtaining a popular
support and executive power. It's
scheme must be essentially different
from the projects of other parties.
When, therefore, two or three parties
nave LuSSQ IHey nave lOSL lIlelF lUOl-
vidual identity and become something
else. Fusion in politics is the name for
the first step toward disintegration and
reorganization. If two parties are
seeking a common end, they have no
reason for maintaining separate organ
izations. They are one or nothing. And
so the proposition resolves itself into
this: That man, or a paper, has got
to be Republican, believe in something
and work to accomplish it, or be, like
ancient Gaul divided into three parts,
believe in nothing, and be simply
against the government. We love the
old Democratic liberalism and simpli-
city. We have a reverence for all the
great Democratic leaders, but we de-
spise demagogism. We have no use
for loudness without logic. We will
not oppose the government until we
have something better to substitute.
The party which can swallow every
doctrine on earth for the sake of a
rake-off at the political pie counter is
not the Democratic party Of the COB
server" We absolutely refuse to sup
port it.

LACK OF POLITICAL SENSE.

We submit that James G. Mcguire is
a loose-end thinker, short-sighted
politician, and that he is laundering
would-be reformer. No man half
grounded as a statesman would have
made the blunder of speaking as he
did in Congress of anarchists. No man
who has his judgment well in hand, and
who has political ambitions, would have
given the snap away as Mcguire did
by his threat two years ago to have a
constitutional amendment thrust before
the LEGISLATURE which is to be a single
words.
No shrewd, cautious. clear thinking
man would make such blunders. In
short, no safe man would do 1t. No
strong man would permit himself to
become a candidate on false pretenses.
Mr.. Mcguire is a socialistic single tax
advocate, yet he refuses to come
squarely out and debate that issue in a
campaign Of his own making.
This indicates cowardice, not caution;
disposition to sneak into the Guber-
natorial office and then use it for pur-
poses he declined TO discuss before the
people We submit that the facts justify
this estimate of Mr. Mcguire, and as
we have not the slightest disposition TO
do him injustice, let US see if truth for
titles the position taken.
In Congress Mr.. Mcguire, in debating
an exclusion bill, denied that ii would

educated men, whose offending consists
of resistance to tyranny. That express
SION and the whole speech indicate

The State of Washington single tax
ers, who have candidates in the field
for public Office are more frank and
honest than Mr.. Mcguire. The latter
declares that the single tax is not an
issue in California; the former, through
their speakers and chosen press, point
to the fact that the single tax is an is
sue in this State in the candidacy Of
Mr.. Mcguire, and strive to impress the
people Of Washington with the signi-
ficance of that fact in order to help on
their own northern campaign.

Since there is a disposition to cast
up accounts between the United States
and Spain and give the latter credit
for the value Of all public improve
ments she leaves behind in the Philip
pines, how would it do to put upon her
debit side what it is going to cost the
United States to make Havana clean
enough to be fit to live in? Spanish
neglect, uncleanly habit and indiffer-
ence to the value of human life have
made the city a pest hole, which the
Government Of the United States will
have to reclaim to cleanliness and
wholesomeness in order to occupy 1t
