Show 1 I CHINESE EXCLUSION Probably it t is true as alleged is certain Washington Washington Wash Wash- ington dispatches of late that there are interests inimical to lo a drastic Chinese exclusion act that are represented at the Capital by agents who are doin doing more or less missionary work among Senators Senators' and Representatives J The he principal lobbyist against exclusion if we may call his work lobbying is the Hon John W. W Foster Secretary ex-Secretary of State who appears openly and frankly as attorney for the f Chinese Government Since his attitude in the connection connection con con- is solely one of professional business there is nothing to be said as far faras as he is concerned He HeI holds a brief and is trying to earn his fee General I Foster is too sincere an Amerian American and too upright a gentleman to descend to irregular practices to his in this Other matter and gain point or any we wedo wedo wedo do not see that any damage is likely to result from his efforts As to the people charged with actual lobbying in behalf of alleged transportation interests interests interests inter inter- ests we should say that they may be considered negligible Grant that there are railway and steamship steamship steamship steam steam- ship magnates sordid enough to open the Golden Gate to a Mongolian horde merely to get the price of carrying the invaders Does Docs any anyone one suppose that enough members of Congress could be found to further such such- an all end with the rod of public ion and the vengeance of all American labor before their eyes We Ve are vastly mistaken if this anti- anti exclusion talk does not result in making the imp impending impending im im- im- im p pending Chinese exclusion act more sweeping and drastic than anything in the direction that cou could d dhave have been predicted at the opening of the sessi session n. n |
