ALL WERE JAPS
No White Laborers on the
Northern Pacific.
Fear Expressed That Other L1r.es
Will Secure Immigrants A
Hint for Exclusion.
(San Francisco Chronicle.)
The employment of Japanese labor
on the Northern Pacific Railroad has
displaced a large amount of white labor
and at the rate contracts are being
made will soon supersede all of it. A
gentleman who has lately returned to
Taccma from a trip over the State
says: "On the Northern Pacific, after
leaving Elljensburg, I saw trainloads
and trainloads of railroad laborers ana
camps and camps of them, and not a
white man among them. All were
Japs." A Tacoma dispatch, printed
yesterday, states that the coolies are
"pouring into the country by thou
sands, not only on the ships of the
Mail Steamship -Company, but on the
ships running into Seattle, Portland,
Vancouver and Victoria."
The Northern Pacific, having found
this labor profitable it is onljr a ques
tion or time when the Southern Pacific
and all the other Western roads will,
if permitted by law, also employ lu.
There are literally some millions of
Japanese who would like nothing bet
ter than fifty cents a day, with food
and housing, at any kind of manual
labor in this country. Fifty cents ot
our moaey is a dollar in the Japanese
coinage, and the great mass of coolies
outside the treaty ports do not earn
an average of twenty-five sen (the na
tive cent) per day the year around, and
out of that they must pay all tneir
living expenses. So a Japanese dollar
per day and found means a fortune
to the average native laborer. The
Northern Pacific, as we believe, pays
moro than that now; but when the
coolie market becomes glutted the
wage scale will fall. At the bottom
figure, however, enough coolie laboi
may be had to supplant every white
section hand west of the Mississippi
river, if not every one in the United
States.
So far, the -laws to restrain contract
labor and indigent labor immigration
have proved to be ineffective. A Jap
anese contract laborer always swears
that he is not one; the indigent labor
er shows money enough to get him
past the customs examiner and then,
as soon as he turns the corner, hands
it back to tne agent of the emigra
tion society that loaned it to him. In
Hawaii during Le period when Japan
was trying to flood the islands with
her surplus coolies every device to head
off the influx was unavailing, and to
day, if Hawaii had not been annexed,
the Japanese might have outnumbered
all other nationalities there. Before
long, if the inrush is not stopped, there
will be more Japanese here than Chi
nese.
It is greatly to be hoped that this
kind oft immigration will not be per
mitted to go on until it results in race
trouble's and the revival of sandlot poli
tics. As it must be "checked some day,
it had better be checked soon. Hap
pily, the Japanese Government has
given many indications of a willingness
to assist the United States in solving
the problem, even conceding the right
of this country, under the terms of one
of its past treaties, to enact restrictive
laws. If this mood has survived the
ratification of the treaties whicb. are
about to give Japan the status of a com
pletely civilized power, then a way out
will be easy to find. That it has done
so there is some unofficial evidence,
though any formal expression on that
point would naturally wait upon the
initiative of the American Government.
OXNARD COMBINE.
The Four Beet Sugar Refiners are
Under one Ownership.
VENTURA. The last step has been
taken in the absorption of the Oxnard
beet sugar factory at Oxnard by the
American Beet Sugar Company, which
was recently organized in New York
with a capital stock of $20,000,000.
Toland & Andrews, attorneys for the
Oxnards, have filed for record with the
County Recorder a deed whereby the
Pacific Ba-et Sugar Company conveys
to the American Beet Sugar Company
the Oxnard sugar factory, the 100-acre
site and 3,000 acres of farming land
near Hueneme, 2,000 acres of which is
planted to beets. This deed bears
twenty-eight $50 revenue stamps, or
a total of $1,400, which represents the
consideration to be $1,000,400. The
transaction looks to the consolidation
of the four Oxnard factories, located at
Norfolk and Grand Island, Neb., and
Chino and Oxnard, Cal.
FRAGMENTS ON TRANSMISSION.
Dr. J. Marty, a French criminologist,
has recently made an examination of
4,000 delinquent soldiers of the French
army and has found that in height,
weight, breast measure, muscular pow
er and general condition they averaged
much better than the well-behaved sol
diers. Dr. Marty does not imply that
criminals are by nature better physical
ly than non-criminals, but suggests
that the condition of criminal families
is so much more wretched than re
spectable ones that only the uncom
monly strong survive.
TRACT SOCIETY.
"WASHINGTON. The annual meet
ing of the American Tract Society was
held here in the First Congregational
Church, the Rev. S. M. Newman n. D.
D., pastor, presiding. Rev. Jutlson
Swift, field secretary at New York,
presented a report of the society's
work. Gen. Morgan, ex-Commissioner
of Indian Affairs and corresponding
secretary of the Baptist Home Mis
sionary Society at New York, delivered
a forcible address, setting forth the ob
jects for which the society labors.
The field secretary's report showed
that the total number of periodicals
printed during the year amounted to
about 1,S06,000. and the total number
of monthlies since the beginning of is
sue about 213,000,000. The secretary
published the gospel truth in 153 lan
guages and dialects. The society, said
the report, Is an ally to all Christian
churches. It gives large aid to for
eign mission stations. Through its
colporteurs, it goes from house to
house in the sparsely settled rural dis
tricts and densely populated wards of
our cities. Since the organization of
colportage over 15,000,000 family visits
have been made and upward of nine
and a half million families have been
prayed with or spoken to on the sub
ject of personal religion.
It was estimated that there are from
three to five persons in each house
hold. A considerable number of new
publications have been added during
the past year. The total number of
grants in publication have reached a
value of upward of two and a quarter
millions. The grants of cash and elec
trotypes to foreign missions to produce
literature in native languages amount
to about $S00,000.
