Which is ILcatile1?

At an important gathering in New
York City, the editor Of a Chinese
newspaper in San Francisco made an
eloquent address, in which he pro-
tested against our un-American ex-
clusion of his countrymen from rights
and privileges which other national
tiles enjoyed within our boundaries.
He said: You have singled out my
people from all human creation as
unworthy OF your hospitality. You
let in the italian, you let in the Hun,
the Turk, the Jew and the Russian,
you let In the underworld Of Europe
and Asia-the idle, the ignorant and
criminal, and you shut out the peace
able and. Industrious Chinese, be-"
cause, you say, we are heather and
smoke opium. You say the truth;
we are heather and we do smoke
opium; but you are Christian and you
drink whisky. And if I were a woman
I would rather my husband smoke
opium every time than drink your
Christian whisky. Opium puts him
asleep; opium makes him harmless
like a corpse; whisky makes him wild
beast; whisky wakes up devil and
makes him brute. Mclean man
comes home full whisky-kicks wife;
Chinaman comes home full opium
wife kich him. You be Christian, we
be heather. With my knowledge Of
your American saloon, if I were to re-
turn to my country, and the issue
were a choice between the opium den
of my heather China and the saloon
Of your Christian America, 1 would
choose for my people opium rather
than whisky.
