The ones would he different if China embarked in a system of intergal improvements. We would compete in locomotives, rolling stock, raila, vizes, and machinery. Whether the long axpected introduction of railways into China is Do dostined to be realised, we have no means boro of ging. Colanal Denby's views moot the kindly approval of the Bailera press and and Eastern people generally. In this State, ho is regudsi with suspicion. No one who profosse friendship for the Chinese canape consure in California. It is openly seld that Colonel Dandy appears to coneiro himself missionary, rather than A Minister Plenipotea- tary. Ho would have won greater popularity in this Stato had he propesoil hatred and on- foropt for the nation to which he is accredit).
Still it is not to ba disguised that there are indications of a charge of sentiment on the Chinese question. The truculent intemperance of such Chimphobes as Coronor O'Donnell is Fielding it natural fruit in a more kindly fooling toward the Chinose among rational people. It hna beon romarkal, since O'Donnell bagan hie new crusade against the Mongalinas, that even so wretahad creature.ss he may have his acon. The result of bis inflammatory barangnos at Santa Clara was the burning of a dozen or more buildings whore Chianmen Brad or ware eu ployed; but the incendiary was caught, and stanced to the state prison for twenty years. Nothing Camoted, O'Donnell repestod hia sporches at Lina Angelos, and the result was otheringsudiare fire, for whiab se yet, no ons has bent arrested. Among the work ing cluse, the determination to ostracise the Chinese is ucalated. Last week the Boiler makers' Union passed a revolution pledging the members to smoke no oirava made by Chinese Inboar A fortnight age, the working-man at Victoria, B.C., resolved to oppose a candidato fɔr Sahool Trustee, ou the ground that he is an emi- ploger of Chinese labour, and petitioned the Go. Pornor to disclwrs his Chinese servants, and pus white men in thoir places. Senator John Sherman of Ohio, who is in training for the Pre-Hongkong Fire Insurance Company's Shares sidential race in 1899, lately visited this const aad rankas u bid for the votes of California and Oregon by declaring that though he voted against the Chinese Restriction Acts, Lo is now satisfied that there are enough Chinese on the coast, and that the index of such aliens tends to degrade
labour.
On the other hand, your correspondant had un interview the other day with a prominent Eas tarn democrat, who is very close to the President and his Cabinet. This gentleman said that the demooraor might possibly reconsider its past action on the Chinese question. The Exclusion Acts wura pas by damnoratic votes. He was candid enough to admit that many of these 'votes" wore given, hot sp znach became the principle of the nots commended itself to approval, as because the democracy was anxions to cure the support of the Pacife States in Presidential contesta. The result of last your's election showed that the calculation was erroneous. "Califorain and Ore gon bath gara large majorities for the republi can candidats. Vadertkocircumstances, is soutred possible that when the Restriction Acts same ip for renewal. they would fail to secure democratic votes, and if any attempt were male to repeal thom. the effort would act be strenuously resisted by the democracy.

The practice of drinking spirits has fortunately never boen introduced among them.
