President. while that spirit of mobocracy which sometimes invades the domain of law and order should be condemned by all good citizens at all times and under all circumstances ani at all places. still when these things do occur. whether from real or imaginary causes. I contend. as did the Senator from California the other day. that it is the duty. the boundenduty of the Government to inquire into the cause of discontent. and if it is found that any real cause exists. then to apply the remedy by abating the cause. The sentiment of the people of the Pacific coast is. universally I may say. opposed to further Chinese immigration. This is the view of everybody. of all political parties. It is not a party question.
