Tacoma, Pierce Co., Wash. Ty.,)
Nov. 26, 1865 S
.."Ed. Journal: I have just received
U6 .Journal of Nov. 18th, and in it
find the following: '
. "It annearrthe naavor of Tacoma.
Wan. Ty., heeds the list of pereaa
indicted by the grand jury at Tan-
eeover. Among me numDert.is xue
pro Date judge oi nerce county, wo
president of the T. M. C. A., several
saleen ksepert, and the editor ad
proprietor of the Tacoma 2Tem. It
wili take about ten days before the
TJ. S. district attorney will get ready
Jo.tarthe rioters, bnt the whole gang
will be brought to Vancouver im
medlately.'.aai if bail cannot be given
they must go to jail. Tha mob at
Tacoma, frightened by the tarn afairs
have taken, have released tha Chin
amen whom they accused of having
burned the' houses from whieh their
countrymen were driven by tha mob."
I do not wonder eastern papers
talk like that, for they get their news
from the lies that the Portland agent
of the associated press sends over the
country. The Tacoma agent of the
associated press might in ten lines
give the facts and set us right before
the country, but he refuses to do so ;
be wears a collar, and does not own
his soul. Now, I will state the facts
as briefly as possible, and hope you
will find a place for it in tha Journal.
I will first comment on the above
article, then give you a statement of
the whole case.
Tha mayor of Tacoma, the probate
judge and the president of the T. M.
C. A. were among the indicted; of
the 27 men indicted 11 were foreign
born and 16 Americans. 11 served
in the Union, army, 6 were too young
to enlist at the time of tbe war.
Those of foreign birth have been in
America an average of 20 years each,
and have been citizens an average of
17 years and on tha Pacific Coast 13
years; not one of the 27 had ever
been charged with any crime before,
2 of them were merchants, 1 saloon
keeper, 3 journalists, S butchers, 6
carpeaters, 3 blacksmiths, 1 draughts
man, 2 plumbers, 1 photographer, 1
brick mason, 1 shoemaker, 1 farmer,
1 moulder, 1 boat-builder, and 1 civil
engineer. I state these facts because
tha Portland liars publish them as
drunken loafers, vagrants, bummers
and tramps.
The indictments were found at
Vancouver 150 miles from here
although tha TJ. S. district court is
now in session in this city ; each man
took to Vancouver with him a $10,000
bond they could have got $40,000 if
necessary but $10,000 is the highest
allowed the judge put their bail at
$5,000, and set tbe trial for next May.
On their return 3,000 people met
them at the depot, with bands,
torches, firing of cannon, fireworks,
bonfires, etc. Nine-tenths of the cit
izens of Tacoma back them and will
see them defended if ever brought to
trial. Two days after the exodus of
the Chinese, the houses on the beach
they had occupied were burnt.
Several Chinamen stayed after the
others left, to ship their effects and
make some collections. There were
three deputy sheriffs guarding the
houses, not a white man was in tbem ;
there were 7 Chinamen in and around
the houses, the fire started inside;
tbe guards arrested the Chinamen
immediately, they bad a hearing be
fore tbe justice but were discharged
for want of direct evidence. The
"mob" had nothing to do with it;
there is not the slightest doubt but
that the Chinamen set the fire, hoping
to get damages. They have always
said since the agitation began, that if
any damage was done, the TJ. S.
would have to pay the bill. Their
hovels stood on piles over the bay, on
the R. R. Co's. water front, and would
have to be removed in the early
spring. They had nothing to loose
by burning them, and expected to get
50 times their value out of the gov
ernment. Last Joeso'there were 700
Chinese in Tacoma, to-day not one,
except 17 in jail for trial by the TJ. S.
court for smuggling themselves in
from B. C. contrary to the restriction
act.
The agitation began last August,
headed by the Knights of Labor ; in
September a committee of 15 citizens
was appointed, and on Oct. 3d they
delivered a circular to every family
requesting them, if they had any
Chinese employed, to discharge them
on or before Nov. 3; they also visited
every China bouse and told tbem they
must leave the town on or before
Nov. 3d. Most of tbem left, so it was
estimated that on Nov. 1st there were
about 40 left in town. During all tbe
agitation, not a threat4 was made, no
noise, no incendiary speeches; the
white Chinamen asked: "What are
you going to do about it if they don't
go?" No one answered them. On
Nov. 3d, at 10 o'clock a fire alarm
sounded as a signal and instantly
500 men assembled on Pacific
Avenna. They began at the south
ead of the town and went to each
China house and told tbem to pack
up and be ready to leave at 3- p. m.,
and left a guard of 5 or 6 men at each
boaee to see that no one raised a dis
turbance; at 3 p. m., word was sent
to each guard te bring their proteges
to an appointed place on Pacific
Avenue. At the round-up there were
197 beside 20, who were allowed to
stay to settle op (and we thought
there were bnt 40 in the whole town),
after all were together the order was
given te march to Lake View the
first R. R. station out of Tacoma,
1 teams were provided for their bag
gage and women 5 women (bus
iness women) and two children the
bucks had to walk, they were housed
in the station and vacant buildings at
Lake View, and 60 men staid and
guarded them all night that none
might stray oM, and' no white pagan
disturbed them; tbe next morning
they all started far Portland and the
60 herders returned to town in less
than a week; the 20 that staid behind
got settled up and left and that is tbe
last of John Chinaman in Tacoma ;
they will never return ; they did not
Taci
own an inch of real estate, and no one
would now or at any future time
dare to sell or lease to them.
That was the neatest, most quiet
job I ever saw. All the saloons were
closed, and but oje'drunken man was
seen, ana a men:. were immeaiateiy
detailed to watch him. There was ne
noise, not a threat made, not a hand
laid on a single Chinaman, not a
heer when they left, everything was
quiet but ft-dead' earnest, not one of
the 500 had a weapon of any kind,
that was1 expressly prohibited. In
several instances Jhe pagans claimed
that white men owed tbem and
would not pay -'thenar in incn caaes
tha oomalttee detailed men to go
with thsns,"and if the party was at all
responsible ha bad to pay or securo
the 'debt Sometime previous to
Nov. 3, our dude Governor informed
our sheriff that if he did not appoint
100 deputy sheriffs on Nov. 3, be
should order the TJ. S. troops here,
therefore, 100 deputy sheriffs were
appointed and sworn in, and in
structed by the prosecuting attorney ;
there were some of them with the
crowd all day as was also the sheriff
and saw no chance to Interfere, and
not one of tbem even told the crowd
to disperse, and then they went
before the grand jury and had these
men indicted for riot, and with arms
and violence expelling the Pagans, etc.
There were in this city 72 China
washmen, that work is now done
mostly by poor women; of course
they charge more for it, for a widow
cannot bring op, clothe and school
her children on rice and rats. All a
Chinaman, makes above 20 cents a day
is clear gain; 20 cent? a day will
clothe him and feed him on rice and
rats; puppies and kittens are a lux
ury for great occasions, and a good
fat torn cat is a God-send ; they are
natural thieves, and lying is a fine art ;
they bring their rice from China, all
their surplus earniug is taken to
China, and when tbey die their bones
are sent to China, not even leaving
their miserable carcass to fertilize the
land they have exhausted.
On the dsy of the exodus in gath
ering them up, a leper was found in
ono of their houses on the beach. He
was on a filthy coucb, parts of his
hands and feet fallen off perfectly
helpless. He was left with the few
that remained. The next day bis
filthy couch was there, but he was
gone ; no one knows what became of
him. They could not: have removed
him for the bouses were all under
guard. As at high tide the water in
under their houses 10 or 15 feet deep,
and the supposition is that they
quietly bhut off his wind, dropped
him into the bay, and when the tido
receded John started out to sea.
The 3d of Nov. was a glorious day
for Tacoma. There is not another
place of 7,000 people where that
movement could have been so quietly
and successfully carried out, and was
done by perfect organization and
thorough drill.
The work formerly done by those
700 lepers is now done by white men
and women, and everybody is ben
efitted. Trade is better. We have
no opium dens and tbe stench of
Chinatown no longer unfits a passer
by for his dinner.

Alcohol ana Hygleme.
Ed. Joubnal: I desire through
your paper to call the attention of
school officers and teachers to the law
on this subject.
"See. 1. Provision shall be made
by the proper local authorities for in
structing the DUDils in all schools
( supported by public money, or under
state control in physiology and hy
giene, with special reference to the
effects of alcoholic drinks and other
stimulants and narcotics on the
human system.
Sec. 2. No certificates shall be
granted to any person to teach iu the
public schools of tbe State of Nebras
ka,' after the first day of January,
1886, who has not passed a satisfac
tory examination in physiology and
hygiene, with special reference to tbe
effects of alcoholic drinks and other
stimulants and narcotics on tho
human system."
Nowhere is a field in which the
friends of temperance may work har
moniously and to great advantage to
see that the various officers entrusted
with the carrying out of this law,
from the county superintendent and
school boards down to tbe teachers
are each engaged in doing their allot
ed portion of the work, and I would
further suggest to the friends of tem
perance as an efficient means of put
ting the ball of reform in motion that
they furnish each school district will
ing to accept them and carry out the
requirements of the law with a suffi
cient number of books on this sub
ject (free from cost to tbe districts) as
will enable them so to do. Now this
I call beginning at the foundation of
things. "Tie education forms the
common mind, just as the twig is bent
tbe tree's inclined," and a more an
cient authority says "Train up a child
in tbe way he 6honld go, and when
he is old be will not depart from It."
Once thoroughly indoctrinate our
children with the knowledge that the
effect ot alcohol and kindred poisons
on tbe mind and body is to debase
and destroy tbe image of divinity and
we may lift up our heads in hope of
tbe dawning of a better day, and here
let me say that after an examination
of a number of works on the subject,
I know of none better adapted as an
elementary work or one which the
opponents of temperance could find
less objection to, than a little work
entitled "Alcohol and Hygiene" by
Julia Colman. It treats the subject
almost entirely from the standpoint
of science illustrated in a familiar way
so that children can comprehend it
without difficulty, while at the same
time there is no personal vituperation
of any person or number of persons
connected with this traffic, and while
tbe author has not abated one jot or
tittle of the force of truth, she has not
forgotten the trite maxim, "Virfegar
never catches.flies."

In March of last year, 1884, 1 con
tracted blood poison, and being in
Savannah, Ga., at the time, I went
into tbe hospital there for treatment.
I suffered very much from rheuma
tism at the same time. I did not get
well under the treatment there, nor
was I cured by any of the usual
means. I bavo now taken seven
bottles of Swift's Specific and am
sound and well. It drove the poison
out through boils on tbe skin.
