A Suggestion on Chinese immigration


OF course it is on the Pacific slope
that the feeling against Chinese inni-
grafton has always been the strongest
land vet, as n result of the Chinese boy
colt of American goods, there now
comes from the Portland, Ore, cham
Der of commerce most radical propo-
stringent exclusion laws. The prOpo-
sition is that for 4 period strictly lin
tied 10 10 years, a number of Chinese
laDorers not to exceed one per cent. OF
the country's population shall be aG-
United to the United States each year.
Presumably the Portland demand
means one per cent. Of the estimated
not the population ut the last CENSUS.
1t is estimated that this would mean
the admission, IN 10 years, of about
1, 100000 Chinese. Unqucstt onably as
many as that would be ready and will
ing to come here.
1t is very doubtful if this proposition
represents the sentiment of the Pacific
lelope. Very likely it is more radical
than the eastern part of the country
everywhere against Chinese labor.
From one point Of view it is not 1T al
lrnlikalv fDpt pn .n,rl1 ,111lyC
use of these Chinese immigrants to the
number Of 10000 or 50 Il year. The
South In particular could use them in
the production of its cotton, rice and
sugar, while all sections would find
them useful in engineering enterprises
and other public and private works.
But 1t is hardly to be expected that
the labor unions and working people
generally, have ceased their feeling
against Chinese competition which was
the original cause of the exclusion
laws.
While the admission of 100000 or
so of Chinese coolies in a period OF 10
years, especially when we allow for
those who died or returned during that
period, would not be any menace to our
civilization or cause any serious over
turn of labor conditions, it is some
thing which we are nevertheless not at
all likely to see happen. The exclu-
SIGN laws are likely to be amended to
admit more easily Chinese merchants,
students and travellers, but if the feel
ing which has prevailed in the country
for the past generation is any criteri-
on, they will not be amended to admit
Chinese coolies even to the extent Of
one per cent. of our population annu-
ally. Our Chinese trade is important,
but other considerations are more i'm
pOrtaat.

As to Christening Fluids.

Authorities differ as to whether va
ter or champagne was used in christ
ening the battleship Kansas. Before
the launching it was announced that
traditions of the navy would faithfully
be observed and that cham
payne would be used despite
the opposition and agitation by the
Temperance people of Kansas, and
when the beautiful daughter of Cove
nor Hcch smashed the bottle on the
vessels prov, the multitude of specta-
tors supposed that the worlds stock OF
champagne had been reduced by one
quart Now, however, the story is toid
THAT nv some Arrangement champagne
bottle filled with pure water fresh from
the famous spring where John Brown
drank had been substituted for the
hottie of champagne provided for the
purpose and was smashed upon the
prov of the Kansas.
ANYWAY. this is the story which is
told in Kansas, and the people of that
etste are chortling and chucklinG with
g,ee over the way their popular gov
ernor scored on the navy department.
II seems he was determined from the
first TO use water, but when informed
of the navy depa1 tment's preference
for champagne he cheerfully acqui-
esceG and permitted the belief to go
forth that champagne would be used s
usual. There is nothing particularly
the matter with Kansas in this case
and if Governor Hoch and his daugE-
ter got ahead of Secretary Bonaparte
and mis- subordinates, there is no seri-
Gus damage done and it will be hard to
convince the public that the new bat
tleship starts its career under hoo
doc. The Kentucky, it will be remem-
bered, was officially chriStened with
on the platform smashed their whiskcy
TASKS against it's sides as it glided
down the ways.
Another battleship, the Vermont, is
soon to be launched and much the
same discussion regarding the kind Of
christening fluid has been going on in
the Green Mountain state as earlier
al itated Kansas In this case, however,
the Governor of Vermont has put an
END to the matter by declaring that
champagne shall be used N accord
|ance with the traditions of the navy.
or course, it is yet possible that YER
,nont's chief executive. like Governor
IIoch of Kansas, is playing possum,'
and at the Last moment will substitute
n bottle Of Vermont spring water, or
possibly, as has been suggested, a bot
tie of maple syrup.
