Waite the question of Chinese immigration to this country may have a humorous side here in New York where there are so few of this nationality, there is certainly nothing amus- or hilarious about it on the [ coast where there are so many thousands of them. The spectacle of a Chinaman doing the work allotted to women may strike the people of the tern States as exceedingly comical, and many may even look upon the vice of opium- smoking which the Chinese have imported to this city as a matter which concerns the pi tail community alone. ‘Those who oppose the landing of the Chinese in America are re- minded by solemn-visaged statesmen that this | isa land of freedom, and that no one has the right to say that a Chinaman shall be debar. red from the privilege of enjoying the un- shackled atmosphere of this glorious country It is argued by men who have no personal knowledge of the Chinese race that they a more cleanly, more tractable, and have fewer vices than the peoples of other lands.

H es THe JUDGE to listen to these taments, but his invariable reply is, “Go n Francisco and live for three months, and then let me hear your views upon the Chinese question And Tue JupGE always ventures to predict that any one who will r main that length of time in California will agree with him that Chinese immigration is a curse to the land, a curse that will spread so quietly and so rapidly that the time will come when something arguments will be required to remove it. The Chinaman is a plotter and intriguer by nature. He is at all times cunning, hypo- critical, and devilish. But no matter how bad he may be, we will still be met. with the rgument that this is “a free country,” and that it is a home and refuge for all who would be free. Will any one who is cognizant of the facts pretend to say that the great m jority of the Chinese who arrive at San Fran- cisco come as free men? ‘The Six Compani of that city own the the slave-holders of the South owned thei slaves, Everybody in the far West knows this to be so, and yet it is necessary to con- stantly remind the people of the East that it is so. The question then is, Has anybody the to import into this ‘free If the bringing of these people in a state of servitude to the United States is called ‘*Chinese immigration,” then let us have no more of it. ‘Tue Jupce takes issue with every one who declares that the Chinese are more cleanly, more tractable, and less addicted to vices t peoples of other lands. their condition is, in fact, far more filthy than that of the most degraded wretches of Europe or of our own countr Their habitations are noisome, disease-breeding, and fit only for the abiding places of vermin. ‘They are treacher- ous in disposition, and always prepared to plunge a knife into the back of an enemy. ‘Their vices would sicken the most hardened and licentious villains of other countries. Their attendance at Sunday-schools and churches but one of their many tricks to hoodwink kindly Christian men and women. They revel in their adroitness in all kinds of thievery, and murder with less their conscience than if they simply robbed a hen-roost. It is as natural for them to steal nd lie as it is for them to eat. Their motto seems to be to pillage this country. and then return to China, Unless the strong arm of the law is brought into play without delay the smooth-going, comfortable citizens of this metropolis will soon find out whether the vice of opium-smoking concerns the pi; munity alone.

Again Roscoe Conkling has been grievously offended, and this time by the august President of the United States, Chester A. Arthur, his former boon com- panion. The majestic Conkling has been made to suffer many things since, in a fit of insanity, he gave up his position asa Senator, and plunged the country into a turmoil of ex- citement that ended in the death of Arthur's predecessor, But the unkindest cut of all was that given by his old partner in political trickery, when he nominated him to a posi- tion on the Supreme Court bench. That Roscoe saw in this move a job to get rid of him as a political worker of the future there can be no doubt, and therefore when Roscoe is offended it is but natural for the people to weep.
