DlscoURTsEY TO REPORTERS.

The four English Sunday papers of St. Louis did themselves credit when, last Saturday evening, they decided to takeno note of tine reception giv- en by the Monday Club of that city to President Hadley of Yale Uni verfity. These papers had decided pI .ously to devote much space to the function, which they regarded as a deserved compliment to popular educator, When, however, reporters of the several papers reached the clnb house to take notes, they were treated with such rank discorutesy that they returned indignant to their several offices.
 The edit tors united in declining to make any reference to the dinner and speeches. They did right. A news paper is a business enterprise devot- ed to circulating current. nt.happenings. It employs competent men to gather the 1sas These men are entitled to fair treatment. In their persons they stand for the papers they rep resent just as an ambassador to a foreign court stands for the country be represents. Any discourtesy to the reporter in his capacity as re- porter is an insult not to him but to his paper, It is the duty of the paper to resent promptly every af- Hsaf1t of this kind. Some papers do bpnd some do not. But those that do protect their reporters are they that get best net results. Having assurance that his paper is back of him Id u taining him, the reporter will work harder and go farther than he would if he were under the necessity of relying solely upon him- self. sa
 The St. Louis example should be followed generally. Then reporters would have easier work and the newspapert would hay. more news and better, oftrntimes-Newspaper Maker.

FRISCO'S WHITE SLAVES.
omen and Children Who work for
Chinese Fruit Merchants for
Very Small Pay.

iteN. Frederick Poole has said that
there were at one time, if not now. in
PhiIadelphia's Chinatown, white wom-
en- who were little better than slaves
to the Mongolians. This is true at San
Francisco to-day.
There have been white men who con-
sidered themselves, like the Bill Nye OF
whom Truthful James speaks. ruined
by Chinese cheap labor" Well, in
Frisco white women and children serve
yellow, Acknowledged taskmasters for
less than even Chinese wages.
The whites in question are employed
chiefly by the Chinese fruit packers of
san Francisco. One instance-the
latest reported and a fair example of
the rests that of a fruit packer of
Stockton street, who, during the season
Just ended, discharged nearly all his
Chinese help and hired white women
and children to do his work. because
they would consent to work for less
money.
The Chinese boss could not :L4uce
his felIow-countrymen to accept the
plftance he offered, and, of course. his
feIlow-countrywomen never thought of
such a thing.
There were plenty of white children
working in such circumstances, il wa
said, but there were no little Chinese
children at it.
This especial Chinaman's establish
ment is on Stockton street and his bust
ness is TO put up canned fruits and
vegetables, tomatoes being his spe-
cialty.
On the occasion of a recent visit TO
this place a score or more of white
women and so or 60 children were found
working in Kings cellar under the side
walk, peeling pears and peaches under
the supervision of a Chinese boss, who
ruled them as few masters outside of a
slave pen would do.
The little children evidently stood in
W Of the master. The eldest woman
in the lot looked to be at least 20 and
there was one little girl there who
seemed not more than six or seven wears
old.
Boys ranging from eight to 10 were
there, and slips of girls, Just en-
tering w~omanhood. all serving their
Mongolian master in fear lest they
should fall under his displeasure and
he should deprive them of the coveted
favor of working for less than Chinese
wages.
The nose is assaulted with noisome
vapors and the odor of decaying vege-
tation; the cellar is dark and illy-yenti-
lated; but these poor women and chill
dren ply their work eagerly amid the
Whirring machinery and the steaming
watts of the canning factory.
Yet Investigation shows that this Is
not the result of hard times. On the
contrary, times are good and work is
in San Francisco. Indeed. the
seems far in excess of the sup
ply.
Ignorance is one Of the causes. then,
this condition of affairs. But there
are other and worse ones.
Many of the women are opium fends.
and can get the drug only by doing a
-hinaman's bidding. All, for one rea-
son or another, are said TO be under
Monaghan thumb, and are forced
not only to work themselves, but to
bring their children TO the same drudg-
cry .-Philadelphia Press.
