Don't Abuse Chinese.

Editor The Washington Herald:

viously no one knows. though we can

that great disturber Of matrimonial fe-
licity. Jealousy surely is the natural
companion Of the blind god.
/ think reporters or papers should not
use the Sigel crime 10 create a prejudice
against the Chinese OF New York or os
America, because I am certain that OF all
races represented in America none are
cleaner as TO police statistics. Few muir
ders comparatively can be charged
against them. Very few crimes can be
found against them In the police records
Of any Of our cities. And this I'm face of
the fact that they have been particularly
closely watched and often for prey in
shape Of money.

GenealOgy and Cooperation.


Editor Ths Washington Herald:
There are two instincts IN man that
are among the causes Of the progress OF
the Caucasian race-the one IS individual
OF domestic and the other is racial 0I
social As between tie one IN one man
and the other in another man. they har-
monize when correlated. when otherwise
tLey are antagonists Their antagonism
was among the causes OF the civil war,
their dividing line IS ever changing.
The individual instinct tends 20 the &c
cumulati0n Of power IN one person. II
dominated the Shareholders. and II now
dominates the plutocrats. AS they seen
10 be unmindful OF its inevitable reac-
ton on their descendants. II is the duty
OF the race 10 restrain that instinct and
10 keep il within proper limits Many
OF the Southern leaders of to-day who
are descendants OF nonslaveholding par
ents are leaders because OF slavery's over
throw.
The Caucasian cooperative movement
must necessarily consider the negro as OF
a separate race II should be borne IN
mind that as between the Union and the
secession there was on neither side alb
soIutely no logical connection with either
abolition or slavery. Indeed. secession
was urged at one time by New England
IN order 10 cut loose from the slave
holders union.
Lincoln opposed slavery on the ground
that the two systems Of labor could not
continue side by side. While William
Lloyd Garrison and John Brown may
have been actUated mainly by sympathy
for the slave. the great mass Of abolition
lists were no doubt actuated by envy
This latter feeling IS by far the more sci
entific; for upon Il depends the superiority
and progress OF the race. The feeling
OF sympathy is entirely subject To the
intellect Its manifestation In behalf OF
the negro has almost completely sub
sided.
Ideas about the negro have changed
considerably. The SCutherner. from con-
sideTing him as a slave: the Northerner
from regarding him as a long-lOst broth
'Vr: the negro himself. from believing in
the bleaching effect OF legislative enact
ments-have all come to the conclusion
that ne is only a negro.
The sO-called friends Of the negro have
brought no small amount Of harm upon
him. a few years ago some Of them
were singing a prayer 10 Cod 20 put

now a Yankee In order TO fit the new
conditions. the singers should have a re-
frain something like this:

Sane Fourth of July.
- 10 WashinF.on e: !:

Editor Ths Washington Herald:
For a sane Fourth. may I be pardoned
for offering a few suggestions Patriot
Ism is to be commended; but by the firing
o. guns and the blowing OF horns, thereby
producing blatant noises, such a con-
summation Is not effected irrespective
Of the danger 10 life by indiscriminate
use Of explosives. To my mind the
masses would derive more pleasure If. on
the evening Of the Fourth. while walking
down the prominent streets and avenues
they had the opportunity Of gazing on
moving picture representations depicting
important events Of American history.
and at intervals let there be flashed on
the streets words and music Of patriotic
and familiar American songs; let the
multitudes join In the singing with
heartiness and enthusiasm. and 20 en-
courage them IN exuberance. I would
suggest that they be led by the playing
OF comets and an invitation flashed on
the street: All sing heartily

went over me that II might yet fulnll
the purpose for which It had been de-
signed. Her cloak was white too-a
velvety thing that I had not seen be-
fore. 1t became her wonderfully, with
its bewitching folds and curves and
richness. And her brown head, lifting
itself with all its charming poise
above the new loveliness. thrilled me
while the eyes that looked down ON
me were more like the eyes of the
Barbara / loved than they had been

"Oh. you!" she exclaimed. from the
landing where she paused an instant
at sight of me.
