The Heathen Chinee again the chinese immigration to California has always been Felt by the White population of the Pacific coast As a serious grievance and the australian Gold diggers Are equally hos tile to wholesale incursions of the Almond eyed celestial. The subject of placing some limit by legislation on the importation of this class of labor has been seriously Dis cussed in various aspects both in the United states and the australian colonies and Many a spirited debate upon the question has even taken place already in the British Columbia legislature. The House of representatives at Washington recently refer red the matter to the committee on Educa Tion and labor for consideration and their report upon it was last week presented. The report says no legislation affecting Chi Nese already in the country is asked or de sired. They came to the country under Tho provisions of a treaty which was the result of efforts of the United states and other nations to open China to foreign Commerce. Their claim to be protected in the full enjoyment of rights and privileges which they have acquired under the treaty and under the Law cannot justly be denied. It is contended however that the presence of chinese has had a tendency to degrade and Dishonour labor that their personal habits Peculiar institutions and lax morals Render them undesirable members of society and that they cannot and will not assimilate with the american people but remain unalterably aliens in habitat works politics and aspirations. Accompanying the report is the following pointed Resolution whereas it appears that a great majority of chinese immigrants Are unwilling to conform to our institutions to become per manent residents of our country and accent the rights and assume the responsibilities of citizenship and whereas they have not indicated capacity to assimilate with our people therefore Uesch de that the president of the United states be requested to open correspondence immediately with the govern ments of China and great Britain with a View of securing the change or abrogation of stipulations in existing treaties which permit unlimited immigration of chinese to the United the experience in Australia seems to agree very closely with that in the United states As to the questions of non assimilation and non miscegenation. By reference to Tho victorian year Book of 187g-7 we find not the least important fact at the present time of anti chinese excitement that in eleven years Only 197 chinese males were married in Victoria. Of these 107 married with australians 43 with English 21 with Irish 14 with scotch females and Only 3 with females of their own nation. The number of such marriages in 187g was 14, which is a smaller number than that in any year since 1868. The general subject of chinese immigration will shortly come under Dis cassious in the Canadian parliament As Jar. Buster Vancouver has Given notice of a motion which suggests a very ingenious provision for keeping the chinese from employment upon the Public works. The following a its that the government insert in each and every contract let for the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway that no Man car Init his hair longer than five and one half inches shall be deemed eligible for employment on the said work either by the engineers employees or any other persons so engaged on tha t line under a penalty for the first offence of one Hundred dollars or three months Etc., Etc. The object of this proposed interference with Liberty to Wear pig tails in the Public service is of course to prevent the employ ment of chinamen in the construction of Tho railway As a probably Well grounded apprehension prevails in Tho Pacific province that contractors for this undertaking will import shipload of chinamen to work upon the Road it will be readily understood that the employment of this class of labor will not Confer a very great Benefit upon the White Community. It is Well known that John chinaman will almost As soon part 1 the his life As with his pig Tail so that or. Buns Tor s device might by adoption by effect the desired aim Sulu however already unon him unsparing ridicule to the front. There Are now to first class business stand now occupied by messes.
