TERRE HAUTE, AUG. 8, 1886.

THE HEATHEN CHINEE. The Super vigors' special committee,appointed in San Franctsca to make an exhaustive report on the Chinese question in that city, have completed theirofficial labors. The members of the committee were old Call fornians, familiar with this question, and have spent five months in accurate and persistent investigation. Their report occupies over twenty colurn us of those great San Francisco papers. It is accompanied by a map, two feet by four, showing the exact location of the places mentioned. A careful perusal of this report will convince even the most prejudiced in favor of Chinese immigration that it is a tremendous evil and should be stopped. Chinatown comprises twelve squares in the very 1 eart of San Francisco and is occupied by 30,000 Chinese. There are about 10,000 iu other parts of the City. In not one single respect are they of the slightest advantage to the city but in every way area positive detriment. We give several extracts from this official report which cannot be impeached. "All citlcH have their slums and localities where tilth, disease, crime and misery abound but in the very best aspect which Chinatown can be made to present it must Rtand'apart, conspicuous and beyond them all in the greatest degree of human depredation that cuii be found upon this continent. Here it may truly be said that human beings exist under conditions scarcely ono degree above those under which the rats of our water front and other vermin live. And this order of things seems inseparable from the very nature of the race. "Bedsare unknown, they have only bnnks arranged in tiers and always occupied by two persons. In many instances thete bunks are again occupied by "relays" in the daytime, so that there Is no hour when thousands of Chinamen are not sleeping off the effects of opium or otherwise In these bunks."

Among all this immense number of Chinese only 57 wives were found and only 59 legitimate children, but there were hundreds and hundieds of prostitutes and illegitimate children. The children are growing up without any family relations or any idea of virtue. There is abundance of evidence that these women are sent over from China for general prostitution. They are extensively patronized by white men and boys and policemen testified to taking great numbers of boys ten and twelve years of age away for here.

Piominent physicians testified that there was no city in the world where so many children are diseased from this cause as in San Francisco, and in a few years it would fill our hospitals with invalids. Of course it is only possible in this brief review to touch upon this disgusting phase ojf the question which occupies three columns of the report. "It may almost be said that the whole Chinese community exists lu open defiance of the law. They are at present and long have been stronger than the law to which we of otherracesaresternly held amenable. Every sanitary law is disregarded. The frequent custom with tlis people Is to have the brick and mortar bench where the cooking Is carried ou, the sink always more or less filthy, and an open, fllthy. bad-smelling waterciohet, all adjoining each other, in the same room, or under the same cover. Frequently a space at the eud of this cooking range—if we nmy call it so—Is used as a urinal, the only outlet from which is the absorption of ami seepage through some earth placed there for that purpose while the lntermingttng odors of cooking, sink, water-closet and urinal, added to the fumes of opium aud tobacco smoke, and the indescribable, unknowable, all-prrvndlng Atmosphere of the Chinese quarter, make up a perfume which can neither be imagined nor described. This Is no exaggeration, nor is It a fancy sketch. It is ono of the common features of life in •Chinatown.'" "De«ceud into the basement of almost any building lu Chinatown at night pick your

tury's accumulation of tilth step with care lest you fall into a ceespool of sewage abominations with which these subterranean depths abound. Now follow your guide thromth a door, which he forces, into a sleeping-room. .The air Is thick with smoke and fetid with an Indescribable odor of reeklug vapors. The atmosphere Is tangible. Tangible—If we may be licensed to so use the word in this instance—to four out of fire of the human senses. Tangible to the sight, tangible to the touch, tangible to the taste, and, oh! how tangible to the smell. You mav even hear it as the opium smoker sucks it through his pipe bowl into hN tainted lungs and you breathe tt yourself as If it were of the sulwtance and tenacity of tar. It ts a sense of a horror you have never before experienced, revolting to the last degree, sickening and stupefying."

The flreordiuance iscompletely Ignored. Open tires are the rule and are built upon benches, floors or whereever space cm he found. And yet the smoke so fumigates and purifies the atmosphere that if they are suppressed Chinatown would become the breeding place for every species of pestilence.

The opium habit ts famlUtr to every* body. The use of opium Is so general among the Chinese that no visitor to Chinatown, night or day, can enter many sleeping rooms without finding men indulging In the habit. Nor will the explorer travel far without finding them under every stage of its stupor such as would seem to furnish fit subjects for the coroner and morgue, rather than as beings to whom life ts ever to return again.

There is no question but1 that this Asiatic labor la killing

the

American

labor.

They have Invaded every department. In Chinatown are 1,200 machines for \ho manufacture of ladle*' underwear,shirts, etc., all operated by men. In all kinds of employment they work for wages impossible an American unless be brought selfand family down to the same beastly grade of living. E.tUer

have the welfare of society at heart, and to whom humanity itself ought not to plead in vain.

There are at least 150 gambling dens which the police seem totally uRable to suppress, where men and boys are dragged down to hopeless ruin.

A number of fanatics raise the cry that with proper missionary work these Chinese can be converted. Of this idea the committee says: "For those, who in spite of every proof of Its utter uselessness, continue to be advocate* of Chinese immigration with tuis 'hope of conversion' doctrine as one of the main reasons and justification of their action, we have nothing out contempt and disgust."

After careful interviews with the missionaries the committee finds "that the total result of continued missionary work among the 150,000 Chinese on the Pacific coast for 17 years, has resulted in the conversion and baptism of 117 persons J" 'V4i_r "Against this, thousands of young men debauched and diseased for life by reason of their presence among us Innumerable

young

men and young women confirmed in the opium habit from the same source the laboring classes deprived of work and impoverished, their children graduated in the school of 'hoodlumlsm the laws set aside and defied a fllthy and disgusting mode of life set up by a clannish population of the city, and made a constant menace to the welfare of the community by reason of the danger from fire and disease that will some day spring from that locality. All this to onset the salvation of a few score of souls of beings whose miserable lives and souls ought not in the aggregate to bear a leather's weight against the deep damnation of the cursje they have Inflicted upon our race, and the ruin and everlasting misery they have brought upon thousands."

Thieving, murder and every variety of crime is a common occurrence among the Chinese and yet it is almost impossible to obtain a conviction. "Not only does tho cunning and utter unscrupulousness of Chinamen enable them to evade our laws, but the evidence is conclusive that they have well organized tribunals of their own which punlBh offend ors against themselves when it is their interest to punish, but which never punish those who violate the laws of the city or the State. These people are born and reared in savagery as wetl as vice, and there is no grade of crime that they cannot and will not perpetrate for hire, our laws and our officers of the law being meanwhile, In most instances, powerless to prevent or to bring them to punishment.

They do not hesitate for an instant to commit perjury, nor to kill one of their own number who does not testify to suit them. They are wholly beyond the pale of the law. 2ft

In addition to this it may be stated that the 80,000 Chinese in San Francisco pay only one three-thousandth of the taxes. Or, in other words, the whole Chinese population of the Pacific coast do not pay enough taxes to support the 198 Chinese prisoners in the State penitentiary.

There are 722 Chinese children, nearly all illegitimate. Shall these children be put into tho public schools with those of respectable parents? What then is to be done with this number which is constantly increasing "To this inquiry there seems to be but one answer. Chinese immigration mnst stop! And the best way to accomplish this end is to so deal with the Chinese here by local laws, made to be enforced, as to drive them from our midst to mingle with Eastern communities, and to educate them by contact with their presence, as they have educated us through the same process, up to a realizing sense of the frightfully disastrous results growing out of their presence among them.

This is but a brief and imperfect review of this report, which is the most complete official document ever issued on this subject. A close examination will convince even the most skeptical that beyond question "the Chinese must go."

THBRK is probably no other subject with which the modern journalist has to deal that is so elusive and difficult as prohibition. If he seeks to gather facts aa.to its practicability he finds himself overwhelmed by the diversity of opinion which he encounters. Even where prohibiting laws are in operation it is impossible to find any agreement as to their success or failure. The prohibitionist will tell him that all the saloons have been closed up and that no liquor is being sold and that there is nodrunkenness. The anti prohibitionist, who lives in tbe same town and has equal facilities for .knowing the truth, will inform him that there are more saloons than ever, more liquor drinking and that the law is a mere dead letter on the statute book. He will find letters in the newspapers on both sides of the question and equally well fortified by the statements of citizens of unquestioned truthfulness. Iu the midst of this confusion he will stand confounded, wondering where the truth can lie, or whether there can be any truth at all where there are manifestly so many lies. In despair the able journalist cuts th* gordlou knot by ranging himself ou thst side of the question which is most in harmony with his own feelings and Impartially fills his paper with all that tends to support that view, with equal Impartiacity excluding everything that tends iu the opposite direction. And the people are educated on the subject of prohibition and they become as positive in their belief as is even the editor himself,

IK Ohio, prohibition has not only got into pellUos but Into religion as weu—or at least into churches. This result almost necessarily followed the nomination of Dr. Leonard, a prominent mlnisof the Methodist chutch, as the Prohibition candidate for Governor. Members of that church are now asking If it la not their duty to vote for Dr. Leonard and one minister became so enthusiastic over the matter that be wrote to the Weetern Christian Advocate inquiring if it were not his duty as a minister of tbe church to Instruct bis members to vote for Dr. Leonard! Tbe Advocate kted in a very vigorous negative, 1 citing the zealmi* preacher's attention to a rule of tbe church which expressly

GKN. MIDDMBTON gets 920,000 for suppressing the Kiel rebellion, while Louis Kiel gets hung—unless the sentence of the court is altered. It seems a case in which a little justice might well be tempered with a great deal of mercy.

AM interested Democrat has figured it out thst Postmaster General Vilas has appointed but 3,500 postmasters out of the 51,000 offices at his disposal, and that at that rate the work will not be finished until March, 1891. Something may torn up in the meantime, and therefore the interested Democrat wants the P. M. Q. to hurry up.

A KANSAS paper says that many towns in that State that ten years ago had bright prospects are now dead as Egyptian mummies because of a recklessness of going into debt. It has been a habit with them to issue bonds for every conceivable purpose, and they have become so debt-ridden that wise men seeking homes avoid them, it is necessary for town, like individuals, to use some discretion about going into debt.

A placard has been posted up on a church in Virginia and signed "Many Gentlemen," protesting against the ladies wearing dresses of thin material through which the outline of the neck and arms could be seen. It will now be in order for "Many Ladies" to protest against the present style of tight, pantaloons and short coats worn by "Many Gentlemen" which display various outlines quite as objectionable as the graceful arms and shoulders of a woman.

Now that the great falls at Niagara have come into the possession of tbe State of New York, tbe authorities having the work in charge will begin making the improvements deemed necessary at once but it will require a year to complete tbem. When these changes have been made additional attractions will be given to the great natural curosity at least such is expected to be tbe case, though the result will depend entirely on the skill and intelligence with which the undertaking is managed.

LITERARY honors seem to be pretty fairly balanced between college and noncollege men. Among the former are such eminent names as Longfellow, Emereou, Hawthorne, Hale, Motley, Lowell, Dr. Holmes, Bancroft, Prescott and Donald G. Mitchell—an imposing array certainly. But the list of writers who were not cellege educated includes Burroughs, Mark Tw&in, Geo. W. Cable, Marion Crawford, Harte, Howelis, James, Aldrich, Bayard Taylor and many others. On the whole the first list is the strongest.

ACCORDING to the figures given by the American Iron and Steel Association the production of iron and steel in the United States for the first half of this year was not so much below that, of 1884, notwithstanding all the talk of dull times. In the first half of 1885,2,150,816 tons of pig iron were produced, sgainst 2,260,721 for the same period in 1884. Tbe production of bessemer steel ingots was 763,344 tons in 1885, against 816,945 tons in 1684, and of steel rails the production was 452,446 tons this year against 593,390 tons for the first half of 1884. To be sure there was a considerable reduction in tbe output but hardly so much as the public was led to expect.

SECRETARY BAYARD is making every effort, he Bays, toward improving our consular and diplomatic service, and thinks he will be through by Jsnuary next. About 200 posts yet remain to be filled. The majority of these are small agencics, paying salaries or fees amounting to not more than $1,000 each. They are all at points important enough to require a United States representative, but it is difficult to get good men to fill the places on such small pay. It Mr. Bayard wants to improve our consular service iu the name of all that is hply why did he dispose of our own Emory P. It will be many years before be can find another man like £. P. B. to put into the service.

THE high flats in New York have at least one advantage to offset against their manifold drawbacks. Their roofs can be utilized as play-grounds and coollng-off places by their half broiled occupants. It is becoming quite the custom for the dwellers in these many storied bouses to go out upon tbe roofs of afternoons and evenings. Pleasant social groups are formed, the ladies goaalpping together over their sewing and the children converting the intermediate space Into a play-ground. In addition to tbe cooling breeses thus felt, some very pleasant views of surrounding scenes are obtained. In the newer houses special reference is made in their construction to tbe use of the roofs for this purpose which is destined to, become a very popular one.

Tax new crematory which Is to be built in Cincinnati will be In the shape of a Greek cross and handsomely constructed of brick with stone trimmings. A feature of tbe barning will be the manner in which remains will disappear. "Before the ceremonies open curtains are drawn aside, displaying an alcove filled with flowers, tbe walla of which to decorated with color, Mill heightened by tbe soft, mellow light of a magnificent rose window. It Is here the casket indosing the body of tbe deceased will appear to those taking part in tbe last obsequies of tbe departed, when it will be silently ushered Into their midst till tbe ceremonies are over, then, accompanied by sweet strains of solemn music, tbe I last earthly remains of the departed disappear forever from view." This sounds poetical. It remains to be seen how the jnew process of disposing of tbe dead will take with tlw CindonaU public.

IN the August Atlantic, E. R. Sill has a strong, well reasoned article on the proper scopes and purpose of a college education, which it would be well for all persons interested in the subject to read. The writer vigorously combats several popular educational fallacies and draws conclusions so well suppossed by argument, that few readers will be disposed to dissent therefrom. It is one of the clearest expositions of the subject treated we*have ever seen.

THE LONG BRANCH GAMBLERS.

THEIR BUSINESS CARRIED ON BOLDLY AND DEFIANTLY—A FLAUNTING CRIME.

[New York Special.]

A police raid on a gambling house at Long Branch is the ilfst indication of what is likely to become a noteworthy fight betwen the gamblers of that resort and the other summer residents. The place invaded was an insignificant keno concern, thronged by negro waiters and rough stablemen, and the move is construed as a weak effort on the part of the police to show a mock disposition to repress the evil. At the same time a policeman, detailed as usual for the duty, was stationed in the hall-way of Phil Daly's famously gorgeous Pennsylvania Club, to maintain order snd direct strangers to the tables. The gambling has this season grown to enormous proportions. Travelers say that neither Monaco nor Monte Carlo equals in amount or garishness the present exhibition at Long Branch. Nine houses, including two of the handsomest villas along tbe shore, and nearly all on conspicuous sites, among the abodeB of wealth and fashion, are openly devoted to gaming. Flags flaunt by day the names of these places, and electric lights advertise them by night. There is no ceremoniousness about admission. The doors are wide open, and the

Bounds

of

the games go out through the windows. The play ranges from faro and roulette at a dollar per cheapest chip to keno and dice games wherein a dime can be risked but tbe bulk of the play is in such a style that the investor of less than $10 is regarded with open disdain, and a man can get rid of a hundred in a jiffy.

Tbe largnst two establishments, run by Phil Daly and Charley Ransom, are owned outright by them and their partners. The rest are rented by tenants, who, in some instances, declare that deception was resorted to in getting the leases. The Mansion House was twothirds burned, last winter, and tbe proprietor, Mr. Gawtry, rented the remnant for a restaurant, as lie supposed but it is crowded with keno, sweat-boards and other swindling devices to catch the daily excursionists who land on the adjacent pier. A pool-selling room is another den of plain robbery in the immediate neighborhood. Tbe races at Monmouth Park are three miles distant, and on these events mutual pool-tickets are sold until, according to pretense, tbe horses are called to start. A private telegraph wire is supposed to instantly report this fact, and also to announce tbe winners. But actual timing, it is found that several minutes invariably elapse, and during this interval stool-pigeous buy numerous tickets on the right racers, thus decreasing the amounts paid to honest holders of winning tickets and proportionately filling the treasury of the concern. Experienced turfmen never waste a dollar here, but greenhorns are beaten out of hundreds every race day.

The chapel which Phil Daly built in his resplendent house is another cause of trouble. Phil is the boss gambler of the place. His profits have been so heavy that he felt able to put $80,000 into summer homes. for himself and son. His altar, having been read about oy most visitors, has becotre a show which multitudesldesiretosee. It was the wish of Daly to nave dally masses celebrated in his chapel, but the Rev. Father McFaul, pastor of the parish, and presumably acting under the direction of his bishop, disavows all countenance of the project. "The Roman Catholic Church," he says, "will not touch Phil Daly with a ten-foot pole. No masses will be celebrated in his private oratory, and any idea of his chapel being dedicated as such is preposterous." Phil is understood to be chagrined, but he rides out in a four-in-band coacb all the same, and rakes in tbe dollars of the Wall-streeters by tbe thousand every night. His real estate is reckoned to be worth $200,000, while the aggregate of gamblers' investments at the Branch is scarcely less than a million. All this and vastly more has been lost by amateur flayers. Women are among the contributors, isolated rooms being set apart for them in three of the clubs. There is going to be a fight, but the probabilities bf vistory are with the gamblers, whose money has thus far commanded the support of the public officials.

THE OLD GUARD MEDALS. [Interview with Chauncey I. Filley.] "What is tbe true history ot the 306 medals "Well, all there is about tbem is: One morning after tbe convention of 1880, Senator Den Cameron and myself went out for a stroll on State street, in Chicago. While we were seated on dry goodf box somewhere alomr tbe street, he suggested tbe idea of some perpetua tion of the fight which bad been so unit ed and persistent, and had become so famous through the thirty-six votes and the 306, and then started to mark a design of a medal on tbe box. I took bis idea and before we left enlarged upon it. He placed tbe whole matter in my hands and said he would, as he did, pay tbe whole expense. That is all there is of tbe medal business.
