Let us suppose a case. 8uppose that fon: American citizens, men of education ant H wealth, desiring to travel abroad, should bi landed from a steamer at Hong Kong. Snp pose that on tbeir arrival, tbey should be In HQ formed that according to the laws of China M they are not permitted to land. Tbecivillzec B world, as represented by the United States o America, would rise up inarms and protes Bra Against this barbarous treatment, tbis an |beard of indignity, this heathen outrage f^V You could And men all over this country wh< would be willing to shoulder their musketi and go to the front to avenge the indignity heaped upon American citizens. Tbepress dispatches tell us that the steam H ehlp Eptrlskbale arrived in the port of Savan nab, Ga., with 29 Chinaman in the crew There is a law that demandB that the crew o ^ vessels in port shall sleep on land during th< mom or 01 sepiemoer auu uciouer, urn. iuit crew happened to be composed of Chinamen and there is another law which forbids China men to land in this country, and it seem; that the poor heathen Chinee was betweec the devil and the deep sea. The Treasury Department at WaublngtOE however being appealed to advised ihecoileo tor of the port of Savannah tbat the China men be not allowed tolerve the vessel and tbat guards should be stationed aboard to se< tbat they did not get ashore, tbe statute re quiring them to sleep ashore to tbe contrary notwithstanding. Tbe telegraph reports under the 6ame dat< tell us that four Chinamen arrived at Jack sonvllle, Fla., and because tbey did not bav< in their possession certificates of residence It the United States, they were cast in a a deep dark, damp prison and Instructions were given tbat two guards should accompany the four prisoners as far as New Orleans and ai i point tbat they should be delivered to th? Southern Pacific Railroad, a bonded line, thai ahnnid erive eood securltv for their transpor Italion to San Francisco" where tbey woulc be dellevered to the steamship companj which should give another bond conditions for their return to China. 'He who seeks equity must do equity" Is j legal maxim as olu as the English commot law. Can the United States demand an opei door in China for our products while we se up a barrier in this country that prevents I Chinaman from coming to our shores? Is 1 equity. Is It right, that we should seek com merlcal relations with a nation which we dis criminate against so flagrantly? The wildest Yahoo that ever roamed thi forests of Africa with rings in his nose anc shell In his pockets for money can come heri and become in time, an American citizen The FIJI Islander can leave his feasts of hu man flesh and walk through the ports with out finest Ion. Hut the Chinaman, the repre Isentativeof the oldest race, the race thathai shown In a hundred ways a civilization far ii advance of our own, a race that has contrlbu ted largely to the success of cotton manafae taring, especially in the South, and that hai always given this country more than it hai ? received from it. is discriminated aealnst. What must the Chinese think of us whet we demand at the point of the cannon, pro < tection for our missionaries while excluding them from this country? "He who seeki equity must do equity." We have no rlgh to expect the Chinese Government to gram greater privileges to American citizens that we are willing to accord the inhabitants o Iineueieenai dwpu-e.

I boarJed the west bound as the boys 1 boarded the home hoand train. I left Atlanta , 1 at 5 p. in.. Oct. ?. and took breakfast In Mem- J j phis the next morning. Memphis hus made . . wonderful strides daring- the last twenty 1 years. The Elk Carnival wan on deck and , the city was attired in gala day rig. [ did not : stop very long as I did not like the looks of the mud and slime. Vet the sanitary condl , tlon is far better than in 1379, when the yellow " fever raged so fatally. After taking In the ! I city I boarded the iCotton Belt for Dallas, J , Texas. This road lor 3uu nines runs mrougo the poorest part of the State of Arkansas, and J 1 the lands ot Lexington are rich compared ! with It with the exception of lands along tbe . St. Francis, White, Washita, Arkansas, and Red Rivers. Thev do not pretend to cultivate the poverty stricken soil. Timber Is the only \ Industry, I think I saw sufficient lumber durt lngtheday to cover Houth Carolina with a , solid root of plank. Mill after mill, each sur rounded with acres upon acres of lumber \ stacked ready for shipment. One unacquainted with the needs of tbe prairie region west of the pine region of Texas and Arkansas would wonder where they could use the billion upon , i billions of leet of lumber to be seen from the j car window. The monotony of this route Is awlul, I would advise anyone who wishes to ' no west by this route to stay in Memphis and i take a sleeper which will enable them to pass through this tiresome section at night. We arrived atTexaekaua at 9 p. m. This town Is half In Arkansas and half in Texas. Though , r in Texas I was still 350 miles from Dallas and 900 from the New Mexico Line. ThlB will give ' yon some Idea oY tbe size of the Lone Star I State. I When in 50 miles of Dallas I was awakened , ' by a rebel yell. The porter when asked what " was the row, answered that a Texas lair crowd I had boarded the train for Dallas. We arrived in Dallas at 8 a. m.. making a continuous ride of 40 hours from Atlanta. I found the city of ( " Dallas crowded to overflowing?uot less than j 40,000 visitors. I had wired to Bob to meet me . at Dallas, but when I saw the condition of things I wondered how I was to find one man among 60.000. I went llrsl to the Oriental Hotel, the hotel of the city, and found Congressman Bailey sitting in the rotunda. I was very glad to meet him as I had not seen a familiar face since leaving tbe boys in At ianta. lie advised met to sit still for an hour . and play observer and doorkeeper again and I would nearer finding Bob than searching i for him. I bad not sat more than 15 minuter f discussing tbe chances of Bryan before Bob i I came by, and then 1 was solid. Tbe lonesom est man on earth is not tbe man cut ofi from i 1 the presence of his fellows, but the man In a city of hundreds of thousands utter strangers. , This is lonesotueness loat can oe ien. i bnan trlve you In uay next letter the style of fairs 1 Texas can get up, it Is more of an exposition r than a State Fair, and later on will give you a graphic description of tho stricken city of Galveston.
