The Australians have, of course, a per- fect right to pass this Act, or any other, for their own protection, if they believe they havé a grievance in the numbers of Chi- nese that flock to their shores; but we think the cry against the Celestials in Australia is, to a great extent, the echo of the how! raised on the Pacific Coast, and "that the Colonists would not have been quite so fast in discovering the disadvantages accruing from the immigration of Chinese had they not been prompted by the movement ini- tiated in the Western metropolis of the United States.

It seems that Dean Butcher, while talking at some Temperance Hall meeting long ago, made the silly remark that "the bar at the end of the Bund in a greater hindrance to fortune-making than the one at Woosung," and this is taken up by the Union as a fiting text for a tirade against the members of the Club for drinking at the private bar of that
