THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH THURSDAY, JULY 7TH, 1881.

aware; but the space, at our ebm- mand being limited, we could only touch, and very lightly, upon a few of the many questions which the ex- American Minister has handled so ably. Of course we do not agree with much that he has written; but at the same time we can conscienti ously comniend a study of "Chinese Immigration" to every person who has the true interests of this Colony at heart, as we think that it will tend to remove a great many pre- judices from the minds of those whose acquaintanco with the inner life of the Chinese has only been of the most superficial character, and that such a consummation is devout- ly to be wished for, must be appa- rent to the greater portion of our commercial community.

nese merchant will be generally endorsed by those who have had dealings with them in Hongkong or elsewhere. Mr. Seward's references to Hongkong are complimentary both to the colouy and to the Go- vernment. The number of foreign and native population is not much different from that at Shanghai, but as Hongkong is a British Colony the administration of affairs is simplified in consequence. He proceeds to say that every traveller will be able to tell how well the streets are kept, and how secure are life and property, Secret tribunals are never heard of, and as reasonably intelligent efforts are made to render the organisation which deals with the Chinese, com- petent for its work, and superior to temptation, the results have been such as to establish the fact that the Chi- nese are easily governed. As an in- dependent expression of opinion, Mr. Seward's observations are of more than ordinary value, and they certain- ly form a pleasing contrast to the fawning sycophancy, and coarse yi-AFE tuperation which have so distinctive- ly marked the public utterances for months past of our local newspapers on the same subjects. The objections which have been made against the Chinese as settlers on a foreign soil, on the grounds that they will not assimilate with our people; that prostitution, gambling, crimes of various descriptions, and deceases of a most loathsome character are pre- valent amongst them, have all been ably discussed in Mr. Seward't com- prehensive work, and we quito agree with his opinion that all the evils at- tendant upon the foregoing may be fairly and satisfactorily dealt with,. within the lines of existing treaties. Part IV of our author's work deals with the fears entertained in America

RECORD OF AMERICAN and

(and, as a matter of fact, elsewhere) R

of what has been termed an over-, flowing immigration of the Chinese. We do not propose following Mr. Seward through all the arguments he advances to dispose of this allega- tion, although many of them have such an important bearing on the current politics of Hongkong that we propose returning to the subject by and bye. In the meantime it is enough for us to know that from the time of the discovery of gold in Cali- formia 30 ago up to the pre-"

years sent time, the Chinese population in America has never greatly exceed- ed 100,000 souls, whereas during

the same period the immigration

from the British Isles alone has aggregated over three millions of persons, and that from Germany more than two and a half millions. These 'figures are unanswerable. The last two chapters of Chinese Immigra tion" are full of general interest; "but our space will not permit us to more than briefly allude to their salient features. To our way of thinking it is clearly proved that the Chinese are not a migratory people, in fact their historical records bear ample testimony of their desire to remain within their own territories. The histories of Chinese conquests aro alluded to, and the nature of the re- lations existing between the Empire and Corea, Lew Chew, Annam, Siam, and Burmah explained. Mr. Seward considers it an extraordinary cir- cumstance in the history of such an Empire as China, that she has never attempted to annex either of the mall Kingdoms above enumerated, but has remained throughout, their steadfast friend and ally: Interest- ing particulars are also given of the numbers of Chinese- located in the- Philippines, in the Netherlands Pos- sessions in the Sonth; in the British Possessions, in or near the Straits of of Malacca, and elsewhere; together with a deal of information relating to the assistance given to immigra- tion into those districts, the control of the Chinese at Singapore, secret societies, the Chineso in Labuan and Cochin-China, and other matters of an equally interesting character.

That we have failed to do any- thing like justice to Mr. Seward's admirable work we are quite well

Mr. Moore bags to recommend his GOGO SHAMPOO. WASH to the public as anrivalled by any preparation ever pro- duced for promoting the growth of the hair. The basis of this compound is made of soap root; the natives of the Philippine Islands never use anything else for washing their hair; they are never found bald, and it is quite com. mon to see the fetnales with hair from 5 to 6 feet long. By constantly using this Shampoo WASH as directed, you will never be bald. The proprietor offers the Wash to the public entirely confident that by its restorative pro- perties it will without fail arrest decay- ing bair.

It completely eradicates scurt, dandruff, and cures all diseases of the scalp. It does not contain avy poisonous drugs. By its cooling pro- perties it allays the itching and fever of the scalp, which is the great cause. of people losing their hair.

Mr. MOORE has succeeded in being able to put this wash up in bottles without allowing it to ferment, and he will guarantee it to keep any length of time in any climate.
