1EB EXPORT ON THE CHINESE QUESTION report of the committee oil the de jpnawum of labor has teen aubmitted to Ciaspff». It nhowg that there are 160,Mll3uD8men west of the Sierra Nevada *»«artairis, Wsides about 1,500 China wrraum of the vilest and most degrading •teaMrter, who are simply slaves of the -ffte Companies. It further shows .that tftese- people earn a great deal of money, tearauterod of spending it in the United they send it to China also that
labor is depressing white labor so
jMuri^.ihat it has ruined shoe making, *lu«t«ukingand a great many other kinds aaSwork. They working for less money ifcME. the whites. This report closes with natation, that the President be reby Congress to inform the Chin m* Uovcrument, that the Uuited States to abrogate and annul the clauses *4 Ae treaties between the two countries «iedi permits emigration.
YUc Chinese Governmont never asked iter tnited States to treat with her, but tncskrcontrary, until about twenty-five j**«tago, she would neither allow her wiY^rcLft to enter foreign countries, nor .litt'subjects of other countries to enter Iter forts. About the period of which ws^peak, the East India company had 3fc**gksome means, established a tradinffgOftt at Canton, the principlo article of •wmsaerce being opinm. The Chinese saw the evil which this drug was doand used every peaceful measure to iit, but without avail and at last forcible seized a large quantity of akmirug and destroyed it. This led to a Jtomhr war which should make every J£x%ilshmun shudder for shame and when "ihr Chinese had been conquered by the wunfatned powers of Eugland, France,
Banftia and the United States. Mr. Burl"wftUBe was gent over to them to •Bhtot! a treaty which opened the p*'* of China to the United itaiw, -and likewise the United States to
Chinese.. We think that this resoluiwk.\n view o£ all the circumstances of 4kir eat*, is about as wise as the bill ofAnd iu Cougress a few days ago for an aq^rupriatiou of several hundred dollars for painting a picture of Christ on afrr *all of the chamber.
Tfcese gentlemen who make this report went to understand that for every sent to China, these Chinamen iawrhere in the United States, twodolv*iuo received in the nature of labor. '1W question of their filthiness is a quesfor sauitary measures, and can re wa«*no remedy from the general governjsrttt. A good board of health is the amNbdy. It is strange that this commit *»r ufaould mako so much noise upon the of Chinese immorality. If it has mmm. a question of purifying immoral ..NMMtphere, the Congress of Uie United •iMUm would be the proper place to begin. ^onavuUty affects society, doesn't dcjmw* labor. It Is a question which af Swrte every one, but is not a subject of in xn^aiional legislation.
Mthese gentlemen would look into the of the degraded class of for who land in New York City .tcwry lay, and express an honest opinion,
Ary would say that tho Chinese were far *«t«riar to them. Can the gentlemen people of the United States who tie better and more useful man,—the Utaaman who works hard, spends littU, J**» frugal, attends to bis own business, amI rends his hard earned money to wife ami children in China, or the drunken lau, filthy as a hog, who won't but compels his wife to wash for that four or Ave little children not perish who about once a week his poor half starved wife into the and then whips his little children, a.wJf.'l.it

NornntG has happened in the history of American institutions that has so completely shocked" the whole country as the barbarous mutilation of the colored cadet Wbittaker.
This place called West Point, has long been known as a hot-house of snobbery and the young, white chaps who spend most of their time in that institution, parting, their hair in the middle and plastering it down on their foreheads, ought to be taught in this instance that people outside this hot-bouse of snobbery, yet have some knowledge of civilization The red tape business connected with West Point is now beginning to disgust the people and it is to be hoped that the authorities will see that the standard of the institution is raised to a plane of civilization and decency.

BAH!
The Courier seems to think that some one on the NEWS has got "writin' down to a fine point, and devotes considerable space to the NEWS Man's article on the Author's Carnival. The Courier says he was there.
Well, John, we know you was there, but didn't think from the look of your eyes that you could tell a swan from a grasshopper. We don't wonder that you should ask us what the "dew of youth" is, for it has been many years, John, since you saw any and we arc puzzled to know how in the name of common sense you can have a personal .knowledge of "rippling tresses," since the razor of Time has made such sad havoc on top of your head.
Tire NEWS has received an exchange, which contains about two columns devoted to the evil resulta|of tight lacing. To read this article, one would almost shudder at the thought of his mother-in-iaw committing suicide in this manner. The NEWS has long since come to the conclusion that there is a great deal of. "Buncombe" in the evil results of this fashion.
The NEWS thinks that every person ought to look as well as they can that every lady should use every means in her power to heighten her charmes, and, if lacing becomes you, we say lace if it half kills you.
As wo stated yesterday, there seems to bo a tendency in the police and fire departments to try to Bulldoze the quiet people of this city, so much so that we are led to believe there is something "rotten in Denmark." When they think the NEWS has an eye shut to the best interests of the people of this city, they will confer a favor by letting us know it.

Fallen Women.
There is an irrepressible yearning in the soul of every women for just a little true human love. She is met by brutal passion and lust. Here is a picture—a pure and beautiful girl, true and trustful, her heart filled with love's first wonderful rapture, standing tattcringlv on the brink of a terrible danger, standing piteously pleading on the very verge of the great gulf of everlasting disgrace. She realizes the horror of her situation, and then* she stands pleading—with whom? Her lover. And he. oh! think of it, stands there counter-pleading with her against herself, and racks all the logic that can be conjured up from hell by importunate lust, to carry his point and put out another light. Do jrou see the picture—see that frail, fair girl, struggling to withstand the triple tide of passion, love and importunity At last sne is swept awav by the storm, her head falls on his shoulders, and the poor, weak thing no longer resists The chaste and holy world says she has "fallen." Now society shuts fts door in her face, and empties its slops upon h» 'rom the upper window. Tne same old story—fallen— down, downlife is the street—laudanum or a plunge in the cold, dark river, He, the temp sr, what of him? Does the tempted fall and the tempter still stand to riot in the ruin of women? What says his father and mother and the dear, delicious world of him? "Young blood. Wild oats. Better hush it up. Ah, is there some one so hardy as to grant that he too has fallen?
Well, remember "she fell through her love for him, he through his selfish lust Think vou Christ would have condemned her? Sin is a thing of soul—a violation of the institutions of our inner being. Grant that this trusting creature had loved unwisely. If she erred it was in loving over much.
Virtue is a moral attribute, and if the word means anything, all it means the intent*to be good and to do good. It is said God is love. To give love and receive love cannot be such a sin as to sink the sou) of the frailest of his creatures. In this era of social falsehood sin is mostly the result of bad conditions. When these conditions are removed the badness will go al»o. I would not undervalue the iewel of chastity in woman. Every well-wisher of bis race must ever deprecate prostitution as the chiefest of social curve*. But it never should be forgotten that even the coarse, rough child of sin was once as pure as the sweetest child that ever slumbered la the cradle of innocence. Who shall throw the stones? Who ever saw the man who could justly

A
rural poet in describing his lady-love says she is as graceful as a water lilly, while her breath smells like an armful of clover. His case is certainly approaching a crisis.

The raluc of whose products is counted by millions of dollars, feel their advantage over limited dealers more than ever before, for they ean afford to sell their merchandise at a much lower figure than small dealers can. Our belief remains unshaken, and we shall
act upon it, that the best time to sell cheap is when
others are selling dear that more fortunes have been
made by selling at low prices than at high pi
and, finally, that the price tells, and every"body tells the price, whether the price be high or low.
