The Chinaman is not going to stay in San Francisco unless somebody employs him. He is not going to Oregon. or Washington. or Nevada unless he can get employment there. If there is that intense feeling of hostility to the Mongolian and that great fear of his driving out the Caucasian race from the Pacific coast which the Senator from Nevada would have us believe. it seems to me that the commonest dictates of selfpreservation and of selfprotection would enjoin upon those people the necessity of themselves putting a stop to the evil which they complain of before they come and ask Congress to do it.
