RENEWAL OF CHINESE Exolue,oM.

RENEWAL OF CHINESE EXCL ueloM.
Next May the Chinese exclusiou acts
will expire by Limitation. and the fore
handed people of California are al
ready engaged in vigorous agitation
for their extension. Probably this
movement will be successful, but ID
chances seem to be somewhat 1eopar-
dfxed by the intolerant attitude Of
some OF its supporters. In places where
people turn upon the streets to stare
after . quiet Chinese laundryman the
source Of the intense feeling against
his race 10 not understood, and the
whole opposition to Chinese immigra-
ton Is set down to unfounded preju-
dice. The supporters OF the present
movement would. therefore, do well to
abate the violence OF their Language,
aud argue their case on it's merits.
That there are good reasons for renew
Ing the present laws becomes evident
ON slight reflection.
The objection to unrestricted Chi
nese immigration rests upon the as
sumption that large number OF Chi
namen would come into the country If
they could do SO freely. The rapid in
crease in the number of immigrants
before the passing OF the exclusion
acts seems to show that this assump-
ton is just. That the presence OF such
large body of Cinnamon would be
undesirable. at least from the political
point of view. is generally admitted.
A government is not truly one Of the
people when there is vast mass Of
Inhabitants who are alien sojourpers
and not citizens. On the other hand,
perhaps no one desires to give China
men the ballot. We already have a
great many ignorant voters in our
cities. and experience does not incline
us to increase their number. No one
is properly qualified for the suffrage
who has not some appreciation OF the
principles Of popular government, and
In this one department of life. at least,
