1t has been suggested that the best
way to settle the century question is tc
have the census taken and decide by the
majority. The census takers would have
to be mighty hustlers, for those who
have been arguing the question generally
change their minds about every time
they get into an argument. The more
they argue the more they are convinced
that they are in the wrong.

The house of representatives, by a
vote of 1858 to so, denied polygamist
Roberts a seat in that body. Wiscon-
sins members all voted against him.
There is no argument in favor of Roberts
holding seat in congress, but the CEN
soR doubts the right of the members IN
refusing him the privilege OF being
sworn in, as they did, at the opening OF
the session. The house is the sole
Judge of its members, but the members
cannot constitutionaliy deny one seat
or the right to be sworn in before they
are themselves legally constituted mem
bers 1t sets bad precedent. For i'll
stance, if they arrogated this right to
themselves might not the majority, at
the opening of eny session. exclude the
whole minority? Roberts appeared at
the bar of the House with precisely the
same credentials as every other mem
Der, with no person to contest his claim
as to regularity.

JOHN CHINA
MAN AWAY
FROM HOME
He Has Settled in Many Countries
and Has Gotten Rich in a Re-
markably Short Time.

It is not only in the last few years,
since hin was opened up by Euro
peans that Chinese emigration has be-
gum. Chinese sailors ave understood
the principle of the mariners compass
for over eight hundre years, and their
early voyages undoubtedly took them
as far as the west coast of America on
one side and Arabia on the other. In
the early days vas the China
mans aim; today John emigrates be-
cause he finds that the utterly incompre-
hensible foreign devil' will pay him
wages from three to five times as large
as he can get in his own crowded coun-
try, and will, moreover, suffer small
robberies with the most surprising calm.
GETS RICH QUICKLY.
Very naturally, the white laborer has
kicked, and kicked With considerable
emphasis, whenever he has found yellow
men ready to compete with him. John
Chinaman is rich on wages below those
of a common European farm laborer.
How much more then must he undercut
the daily pay commonly paid in this
country for unskilled labor?
Yet America does not suffer much loss
by the presence of Cinnamon, as in the
whole of the United States, out of a
population of over $1,000, 900, there are
less thar 12O, 900 Chineses. And this num-
Der is increasing but slowly.
In Canada there are some $500, While
in British Columbia and Vancouver
they are rather more plentiful.
Cuba and Porto Rico alone or the
West indies harbor any large number
of Chinese. There are just under O,OOO.
In British Guiana the number
is $500, and here they are decreasing.
In Chilli there are but 1000 yellow
lalborers, but Peru has no less Than
A FAvORITE WORK.
Sugar culture has always been ~favorite
work for Chinese coolies. In Hawaii
IS, 900 Chinese and Japanese are so en-
| ployed, and Queensland has 1000 en-
gagged in similar work.
But all these figures are insignificant
| with those of the swarm
which has settled in further India since
British control gave safety to life and
property. The Straits settlements have
600, 900. In one year over 100000 landed at
Singapore. They outnumber the native
populations all through the coast terri-
tories.
In Johore, out of an estimated pop
ulation of 200, 900, $50, 900 are Chinese The
whole trade Of Burmah is in Chinese
hands. The Dutch East Indies possess
a quarter of a million Chinese inhabi-
tants. and the Philippines have 100, 900.
All the inland rad of the latter islands
lis conducted by Chinese peddlers.
In Slam the Chinese population reaches
the enormous figure of 1,40O 900, and
there, as elsewhere in the east, they are
traders, not laborers.
The Australian colonies hav no very
large or increasing proportion of Chinese
Immigrants. There are 5000 in Victoria,
1900 in South Australia, IA, 900 in New
South Wales, and about 5000 in New Zea-
land. New Zealan was the first to put a
poll tax of fifty dollars on Chinese immi-
grants. The other Australian colonies
have now lone the same, and so nave ths
