Chinese Ways that Are Dark

"This new ruling will transfer the
landing OF Cinnamon for Mexico from
San Francisco 10 the port of Guaymas.
Only the other day 200 coolies were
landed at Guaymas, and 1t is well
known fact that their ultimate inten-
ton is to slip into the United States.
They remain in Mexico for a while,
learn to speak few English words and
to dress In the American fashion to avert
suspicion being attracted to them when
they once succeed in slipping across the
line"
"The active base of operations for
smuggling Cinnamon at present is along
the Arizona border. This is natural
result OF the policy pursued by Chinese
labor contractors, who land whole ship
loads OF laborers at Guaymas, sdirect
from the fowery kingdom. There are
great many wealthy Chinese merchants
at Guaymas who look after their broth

country. The conditions In Sonora and

ABOUT INDIAN RIGHTS.

The reflective mind can hardly avoid
being impressed by the facility with
which Americans make plans for dis
posing OF Indian lands. What the In
dian wants does not enter into consider
alton, or, rather, it is what the Indian
wants that most Americans want to
prevent. They want to stop his enjoy
ing in his own way, what lawfully be
longs to him.
President Roosevelt .goes to pretty
near the full length in his message TO
Congress. lie wants the tribal rela-
tions broken up, the lands "allotted"--
which means a very small portion al
lotted and the rest opened to white set.

Indian resolved into an easy robable in.
dividual. He would cut off their food
supplies. He says 'the rations system,
which is merely the corollary OF the
reservation system. is highly detrimen-
tai to the Indians"
We devote q good deal OF attention to
negro rights. TO Filipino rights, to Ha-
waiian rights, to Porto Rican rights, but
we are always very shy in taking into
consideration the rights of the aborigin.
al American. What of the Indian rights
anyway? We agreed TO furnish these
rstions in solemn treaties. The United
States 10 not doing charity act In fur
nishing them, but is merely paying it's
honest debts. The lands are theirs by
the same tTesty obligations. The tribal
funds are theirs, usually with an obliga-
ton that they shall be kept intact and
only the interest paid TO the tribes. The
only difference between their ownership
and any other 10 that we have constituted
ourselves stheir guardians, and are un-

rights.
But the American who prides him
self on his regard for property
rights In general cannot often be brought
to consider that the Indian has any
right at all. And when he does admit
that, he usually defends bis own plan Of
disposing OF those rights on the ground
that it will be better for the Indian.
That la where philanthropy has been
made to appear obnoxious In our Indian
policy. We treated fairly with them
when they were strong, but violate the
treaties when they are weak. 1t re-

THE CITIZENS PROGRESS.

The Citizen today appears in a new
yorr--,he first of a series OF improve
mepts contemplated and that will be
uade manifest from time to time.
We admit, with good deal OF pleas

SON compelled US to make the change
to enlarge the paper-before our me-
chan,cal arrangements looking to that
end we're completed. But the advertiser
forced his genial presence on us and we
were compelled TO make room for him.
We will always make room fer the ad-
vertiser. 1t will give US pleasure TO
print twelve or sixteen pages, instead OF
eight, for him il he will only give US a
hint that he has not room enough.
But while studiously responsive to the
wish of the advertiser, the reader OF The

"a Chinese Inspector, better than
any one else perhaps, has an opportn-
nifty TO observe the customs of China
men in this country" said Geo. w.
Webb as he was leaving Tucson to search
for bunch of smuggled Cinnamon.
Considering the race as whole, they
are nearly all good fellows and are al
ways ready to assist one OF their coun-
trymen. Whenever q Chinaman Is ar.
rested for being in the United States
unlawfuliy, no matter whether he is ac-
quainted here or not, there is always
some Chinese merchant willing to go on
his bond. The Cinnamon never fails to
appear and in my recollection. have
never known one to jump bond. The
Chinese all seem TO be cousins. that is,
thew all belong to some great family in
China and the members OF these fami-
lies always stand by each other. The
Lin. Din and Yee families are those
best represented 10 this country"
Speaking OF the forged certificate, Mr.
Webb said: "While this scheme OF
smuggling Cinnamon into the country 10

years, it is nevertheless q fact, that oc.
casionally. we run across some clever

The scheme is to smuggle the Cinnamon

Mr.. Webb, ION the charge of having

Referring to the recent ruling which
does away with carrying Cinnamon

cap somewhat the work OF the Chinese
Inspector. Under the old plan, a pho

PLAN TO

RUSSELL sAGE'S VIEWS
PROJECT WILL DEVELOP NO
OPPOSITION.


New York, May 25.-Speaking rela-
tive. to the recent acquisition Of rail-
road properties by George J. Gould and
allied interests and the growing belief
that the plans for the Missouri Pacific
system aim at connecting the Atlantic
with the Pacific seaDoards, Russell
Sage said that the project would not,
in his judgment, develop any hOstii-
ties in the railroad situation.
Every thing. he thought, would be
anicably arranged. He continues
The general plan is TO extend the
system from the Pacific 70 the Atlantic
ocean. This viii doubtless take a good
deal of time. cannot say how long.
The matter Of how the road is to get
outlet to the Atlantic seab0ard is in its
infancy L have no DOUBT the plan for
the entire system VIII be worked out
tremendously. In connection with the
acquisition Of Wheeling * Lake Erie,
and the line it is to build into Pitts
burg, it is probable that short spurs Of
road, OF fifty or 100 or $50 miles viii be
built to accommodate towns not on the
main line"
"WilI the Texas Pacific be absorbed
by the Missouri Pacific? ''
yes said Mr.. Sage, 'that Will come
about"
Some persons profess to believe that
the Gould interests hope to reach the
Atlantic seaboard by an acquisition OF
the Delaware, Lacl1aWanna q Western
by means of the Wabash which con-
. meets with it at Buffalo. There is little
evidence that such is the case
