think, though they have not thus far. passed any bill against us of the strin gency of the Geary Act, or indeed any bill at all, but have confined themselves to very oblique and negative forms of criticism. The behaviour of the Amori- cas legislatora is made remarkable by two facts, its lack of harmony with the vast pretensions of the country which is the heir of all the ages, in the foremost files of time, and with the treatment of all other immigrants, of whom there are great and threatening numbers. Dat these all have votes while the Chi- nese have none and wish none. It is undoubtedly true that there is a grint plethora of labourers in the United States, which can manage very well to accomplish all its tasks for a long time. to come without any farther additions from European lands. But there is que department of work where there a great and a constant scarcity. Every one at all familiar with the United States knows that there is no adequate supply of household servants, and in many cases no supply at all. The South is indeed well stocked with neg rocs, who have their undoubted excel- lencies, as well as their great defects. But in the North the coloured population is trifling compared with the need for Gerrante, and probably most of the 6 northern blacks are straggling toward Bome kind of independouss" (which is the typical American attitude) and do not care to do honee-work. Thus it has happened for several decades that the 2203
sule dependence of the American house- 2213
keepers is the young immigrants from Burope, who are quits ready to do cooking or any kind of house-work, so ae to get a start in the Land of Promise. But no matter what the excellencies of these new-comers, and some of them have many, they all have one fatal de- ambition of the young Norwegian, who for a year or two or three serves in the kitchen so willingly, not perhaps so deftly, is to marry and become her own mistress, and it is with this in view that she has cheerfully put up with many inconveniences. Her wedding is fol- lowed by a reaction in the kitchen and in the chambers, and the weary round of grean help (faleely so called) is re- peated. In spite of all the argumenta of all the brilliant American lady-writorn who have attacked the subjoot, the native American continues to scorn
