CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
Some of the History Which Led to Its
Passage.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the EDITOR OF Inc tVenlnS SIdr'
The Chinese minister, in his address at
the international commercial congress in
Philadelphia, referring to the exclusion act
said:
In view of the certain increase of this
vast trade and commerce between China
and the United States, and in view of the
unrivaled opportunities China offers to
American capital and enterprise, the ques-
ton naturally arises whether it is worth
while TO keep on your statute books dis
eliminating law against a people with
whom it is to your interest to keep and
maintain relations of the most friendly ma
ture. This is a question for the merchants
manufacturers, capitalists and laborers Of
this country to decide. and 1 am sure they
will decide it rightly and fairly when the
facts are laid before them"
| clip the above from your issue of the
10Th instant, and beg the privilege of a few
lines in reply thereto, that may embody a
little of comparatively unknown history
relative to the Chinese exclusion act'
mentioned.
The real author of that act was James G..
Blaine but the originator of the idea in
public discussion was Michael ]. Dee, edi-
tor of the Detroit Evening News. 1t was
the latter gentleman's exhaustive treatise,
it might be properly termed, published in
the North American Review in the year
1879 q forget the month";, that strongly at
tracted the attention of Mr.. Blaine to the
subject-matter and which he subsequently
acknowledged in person to Mr.. Dee.
AS L recall Dee's argument. it was along
the lines of the doctrine, now impregnably
established in science, of the survival of
the fittest." In the human family of races
that survival depends very largely upon
the strength of the.stomach- 1t is univer
sally admitted that a Chinaman will thrive
where an American will starve. Therefore
this abnormal gustatory superiority, united
to a remarkable fecundity, already backed
by a home population of some 10000, oC0,
if let loose upon our shores. would mum
date our land with the cheapest of cheap
labor.
Hence, for our own preservation and pro-
lection. and as logical sequence to all our
tariff and other protective enactments for
the encouragement Of home manufactures,
as well as the elevation of the wage work
ers in them. the Chinese exclusion act was
a thoroughly American, patriotic law.
1t should not be repealed, and ii never
Will be until China ceases to be a nation.
Her civilization compared with that of ours
is as the night is to day. 1t would be but
few years before the Pacific slope would
be in the hands of foreign horde of
heather. that would give our government
untold and undreamed-of trouble.
Keep out the Chinese even from the Phil
ippneS. and who knows but those fair
islands may ultimately become the asylum
for the oppressed black man of these United
Estates, already sufficiently imbued with
jthe spirit of American Sef-government TO
teach the benighted black people there how
eminent. Perhaps this is the solution of
the riddle presented to the United States

Eightieth Annual Meeting Began at
Westminster Today.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WESTMINSTER, Md, October 2O.-The
eightteth annual meeting of the Maryland
Grace Lutheran Church, Westminster, Md.
Rev. P. H Miller, D. D., pastor. About
200 delegates, including laymen, were pres
ent, the headquarters of the delegates be-
ing at the Westminster Hotel. The presi-
dent of the synod having moved from the
bounds of the synod, the annual report, ac-
cording to the constitution, was made by
the secretary, Rev. Victor Miller of Letters
burg, Md. The report merely recited OFF,
cial acts, such as accessions, dismissals and
church dedications, with recommendations
concerning Sabbath dissertation, seminary
Indebtedness and the publishing of a his
tory of the Maryland synod. After this re-
port the election of officers took place. Be-
fore going to election Mr.. Albert F. Fox
of Washington, D. c., presented a series of
resolutions looking to the postponement of
the election of a treasurer until Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
The choice of the synod for president was
Rev p. H. Miller; secretary, Rev. George
S. Bowers of Hagerstown, Md, brother
of Rev John c. Bowers of Washington,
d. G. But one ballot was taken, both re-
cefving number of votes more than nee
essary for a choice. The committee on
beneficiary education reported through its
chairman, Rev. G.. w. Miller of Baltimore,
Md. The committee reported an indebted
ness of over 800, and asked that an appro-
priation of $1,000 be made for the ensuing
year, which was increased by action of the
synod to 5000. The interests of Pennsyl-
vania College were presented by Rev. 2.

Steamship Arrival.
At New York: Pretoria, from Hamburg.
A Model Municipal Bath House.
From the Boston Transcript.


The benefcence of a handsome, well-kept.
well-apponted public swimming bath could
not be better illustrated than is done in
Brooklne 1t is pleasure and good for
all residents, large and small. The beauti-
full building facing the Brookline play
ground, is thronged daily with enthusiastic
bathers and one has only to watch the
scene from the gallery encircling the spac
ious white-tiled natatorium to see the
pleasure and profit derived from the privi-
lege afforded by this municipal generosity.
The knowledge of swimming, which every
person should possess, is here obtainable
for the sum of cents for half-hour bath,
and although one may not learn to swim
in one lesson, it is surprising to see how
quickly a child will learn from others by
observation.
The Brooklne school boys large major
fty of them, are veritable water babies, and
1t is amusing and interesting to see the
small boys eight and nine years old take
the springboard dive into six feet OF water
with the fearless confidence of experienced
swimmers. The interior of the building is
a marvel of handsome appointments, and
the recent opening of two commodious
waiting and reading rooms for men and
women. luxuriously equipped with tables
and easy chairs and touches and many I'M
usual conveniences, completes an establish
ment which as a municipal all-the-year-
round bathhouse with swimming facilities,
as we'll as cleanliness baths, is second to
none in this country and perhaps in the
world.
