Me AN OVERLOOKED JAPANESE INSTITUTION It has been estimated by men who hava Investigated the subject, that there are more than 1000 Japanese women held In slavery in California. Evidences that are apparent wherever any considerable number of Japanese are living in colonies support tha estimate and c rests the Impression that It is too moderate, if not correct While the Federal authorities ara Southern farmers on prosecuting charges of peonage, their Inactivity in the matter of the worst form of lav-crpracticed by Chinese and Japanese Is unexplainable and inexcusable. Should It unfortunately happen that the Japanese school esse now before the courts should result adversely to California, it Is likely ta he followed by a crusade against the Japanese end Chinese slaveholder la this etata. The form of slavery practiced by these barbarians Is not ao degrading to tho slaves as tt ia to tha youth of this sute. It nature is so revolting that It can only ba thus hinted at in a public journal. Long familiarity with the crime has ao debased the public mind that only a few private individuate, moved by religious or humanitarian motives, have attempted to bat tie with It, while the general public hive looked an merely a disinterested spectator. With tha knowledge that this crime against tha constitution and laws of the United States la being. committed every day, a few gealota who want to Christianise these barbarians stay out against the seclusion or separation of the children of these barbarians, who have been reared ip this morally polluted atmosphere, from the children of tha cultivated rasMeiu, a large majority of whom are trained at home to hold womanly virtue sacred. Have they counted on the grant risk that attends such intimate association? It la hardly probable that they have given It any thought because their seal for converting the heathen ha shut out almost all alse. But what has kept tks Federal authorities silent and inactive? Are tho vague and merely constructive privileges of Japs, as tbs government attorney construe tha treaty, superior to the plain provision of the eonstl-lotio- n of the United States? Is not the thirteenth amendment to tha. constitution as inviolable as the treaty with Japan? If the federal government desires to do Justice to Americans aa well aa to Japanese, It should seek to enforce th Jaws against tho polluting peonage that prevails among the Orientals not oily ta California, but wherever any considerable number of them are gathered ta one locality.

GADSDENS BAD BLUNDER. Tho General Government should reimburse the people at the Imperial valley for their losses, and well could it afford to do no. It waa for the purpose of securing the head of the Gulf of California that the Gadsden purchase waa made and 915,000,000 paid therefor. A mistake was made in not haring n survey mads and establishing n line before sending Senator Gadsden of Alabama to make the treaty for cession. The line of the gulf were not well known at that time. The American plenipotentiary took the information he received that the line they adopted would reach the gulf, and they arepted the same. He should have instated upon prolongation of the Una directly west from Nogales to the gulf, Instead of permitting the line to be toned to a northwesterly direction at a point shout eight miles west from Nogales. Had he done that the boundary line would have reached the gulf about thirty miles below Its head. Instead of thirty miles above the head, aa now. The main object of the Gadsden purchase in 1853 was to secure to the United states tha north end of the gulf and Port Isabel. Instead of doing so. Senator Gadsden, who was appointed n special envov for that purpose, allowed himself to he deceived end paid 61R.ono.600 without attaining the main object for which the purchase wa made. If Port Isabel ere worth 19.0no.ooo In 1353, all tbs more would he worth that sum now a deep-seIn that vicinity. And the General Government could well afford to pay the farmers and business men of the imperial valley tha first cost of the a prt Gadsden purchase to reimburse them for their losse, Id the filling of the Salton sea. Instead of expending to save thslr possessions, let the General Government pay them for their losses, let tha sea fill and coo-I- t wlih the gulf by a ship canal. mil-Uo- Redflelds Cltrograph. V |
