THE ALARMING JAPANESE.

BY the Mysteries of the California
sand-lotters we have been led to be-
lieve that the Japanese children were
crowding those of native birth out Of
the public schools and so usurping the
privileges and functions Of the schools
that the American born were in great
danger. But what are the facts? A
count shows 12s Japanese children
in the public schools of San Francis
co and 445 scattered IN the rest o.
the state" Terrible. indeed!--Bridge-
port Standard.
This makes the recent agitation ap-
pear rather grotesque. What is there
alarming in this to great state like
California The agitators were not
prompted by facts. but possibly by
selfish interests. This Is evidence Of
absolute ignorance, for men would be
ashamed to attempt to make a ma
tionaI disturbance over such a trlfing
affair as this. II 12s Japanese chill
dren are capable of demoralizing the
schools OF California instead Of being
themselves benefited by the close re-
lation to a superior race, how superior
is the race which fears contamina-
ton? The whole affair is a shame to
the nation.
