HOW THE CHINESE SETTLE
THEIR DISPUTES.

The Chronicle sees in the criminal
history OF the Chinese In California
justification for the exclusion act, and
says:
The Chinese have been in San Fran
cisco for many years. yet their meth
DDS of settling private feuds are as
little amendable to the laws and Gus
toms OF California as they ever werc,
The latest tong murder In China

sories; the story of 1t has even been
long since dramatized. A frisky daugh-
ter OF one clansman elopes with
member of the other tong; the losers
want monetary compensation, which
is refused Then the cousin of the
man who stole the girl. while passing
through a dark alley, Is ambushed by
some of her friends who are conceal
ed in vacant hallway Their revoI-
verS do the rest; an innocent man
lies dead In the street and the muir
dererS are hidden away. not more from
dread Of the police than of the bull
lets of the tong they have embltter-
ed, Fer forty years this sort of thing
has been going on.
One may clearly judge from these
incidents-for that is what they mere
ly are In the lives of our Chinese den,
izens-what would happen to San
Francisco and California il the Chi
nese had the strength of great num-
bers. What chance would the law
have to enforce its processes peace
ably among them? What certainty
could there be of conhning their feuds
and crimes TO their own race. AS It
Is, the San Francisco Chinese defy
the law on occasion; If their strength
were ten times what it is numerically
the days Of the vigilance committee
might have TO be revived.

SOME FIGURES FROM THE
LATE ELECTION.

One of the surprises of the cam
paign just closed is the reduction OF
Brewers majority in the Fourth Ward
from 1874 two years ago to 60 last
Tuesday. The Fourth Ward Is the
residential district OF the city and II
was made a storm center by those
who had long knives concealed in long
sleeves. Notwithstanding the disaf-
fection within the Republican ranks
and the insistent appeals made in the
name of reform, the Brewer majority
Of nearly 200 two years ago in that
ward of homes was almost wiped out.
II 1t is true there were many dis
gruntled Republicans in that ward,
then many Democrats must have cast
aside their party prejudices to COM
mend and help elect the mayor-elect.
A careful analysis of the vote
proves that the majority side was
made up of all classes OF the com.
munity. and that the little property
holders were with the winning forces.
Over in the Fifth Ward. the ma
jority OF the Democratic candidate of
two yonrs ago was increased 10. But
that difference is accounted for by the
desperate labor of a few big families
Otherwise the Fifth Ward might have
been carried in to the Republican col
umn.
The vote Of the entire bench"
compared with the vote of two years
ago. shows loss on the head of the
ticket of 106 votes.
There is food for thought in these
figures. The returns prove that the
drift of the vote in every nook and
corner of the city was toward the
head of the Republican ticket.
