Show TDK K1QI1T SENTIMENT. Senator Mitchell's sentimeuts in regard re-gard to the exclusion of tho Chinese from the United States willjmect with the hearty endorsement of every American citizen who has the best interests of the country at heart. During the discussion discus-sion on the Chinese exclusion question Senator Dawes wanted to know what use there would bo in having Chinese diplomats admitted if they had no Chinese Chi-nese interests to look after. Senator 'Mitchell replied: "I would rather exclude ex-clude the Chinese diplomats than to permit the country to be overrun by the yellow hordes of the Cliineso empire." That sentiment is in accord with the law of self-preservation,' which is the lirst law of nature. It expresses the situation in a nutshell. Wo want no more Chinese in this country. They come here and sal) the vitals out of the white man's resources, and send back to their own country all their savings. Those that are hero now of course will remain as long as they please, but if tho gates are not closely watched they will bo constantly reinforced. If the present population of Chinese could be 'induced to leave this country, it would bo a good thing, We have no use for the celestials or their diplomats, and tho people of the United States would not care if all relations with China were severed, |
