Monday a special car containing forty Chinamen passed through Cnesterton on the Lake Shore road, on their way home to China. They were all wealthy, having made their fortunes in the United States running washee houses and opium Joints, and go back some to spend the money.— Chesterton Tribune. This is what becomes of the Chinamen, who come to this country, and also of the money that is paid them. They have no stake in the country, and no interest in it They never want to become citizens; and of all the money they take in, they pay ont here no more thaiii they can possibly help. They live as cheaply as cattle, and what little they do eat and wear is mostly imported from China. In short they are no good whatever in a nation like ours, nor in a-community, tnd it is mighty poor policy to pay money to them for what civilized home people would do as well for the same money. And even if they work a little cheaper it would still be mighty poor policy to patronize them.
