The papers of St Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha and
other oitina whioh lie on the eastern bordor of the Great
West, agree in predicting an unprooodontedly large im
migration into the Northwest the coming spring and
Bummer. The UMual desire to " go Went" ia stimulated
by a tear that desirable publio landa will soon be all
tiikon up, publio attention having been directed to the
subject by the groat prominence recently given it at
Washington and iu the newspapers. The nnusual

scarcely an exception, the actual citixous of Beattlo were
arravod on tho side of law and order. Nearly every olU-
r.en activuly enungod in upholding the law, did so not-
withstanding he waa in sympathy with the object ot
tho riot, via.: to rid the city of Chinese. It was not the
object, but the method, they opposed. Bo far, then, from
showing that tho citiaons of Washington territory are
incapable of self-government, the Seattle inclilent provee
them to possess that faculty in the highest degree, since,
though unanimously opposed to the presence of the
Chinese in the oity, they rallied to their aid ana uplieia
tho law, even to the extremity of shedding blood.
Revkual features of the recent disturbance at Seattle
Once more certain of our business firms sco thoir
names in print, for a consideration. The latest "schonio"
by the advertising fiend is a " splasher," to lie put up
in hotelB and other places whoro Tom, Dick and Harry
wash their hnnda and faces. That such things can bo
"worked" on sensible business men is one of the most
encouraging evidences wo have of tho approaching end
of "hard times."
The West Shoiib Litiioobaimiino and Enohavino
Company is now prepared to do Bank end Commercial
work equal in quality to the best in the United States.
The business mon of tho Northwest are invited to send
fir estimates and designs for stationery, stock o?rtift-
1 ites, bank checks, drafts, bonds, and all other forms of
i ne lithographed work, either in black or colors. It is
no longer necessary to send Eiuit or to San Francisco
f r anything of that description.
The position taken by The "West Shoiie on tho
Chinese question is identical with that of the responsi
ble portion of the press of tho Northwest, via.: While it
is desirable that tho country bo freed from the presonce
of the Chinese as quickly as it can lie done "by legal and
proper means, no form of iutimidutiou or violence to
wards them must bo permitted, and they must be pro
tected in thoir persons and rights of property wherever
thev mav choose to reside. To do less than this is not
only dishonorable, but is to lay up an account against
Many people erroneously confound the Knights of
Labor movement with the auti-coolie agitation, end ee
jiecially that feature of it which has led to the forcible
expulsion of the Chinese from various localities. The
Knights ot iam, as an organisation, mim mi u
sworable for the lawless acts of these brawling agitators
and their irresjxmsible followers than are the Knights
of Tythias. Memliers of the former orgaulxation, to U
sure, may be seen among the anti-coolie crowns, uui uie
order itself has nothing to do with it, while others of its
momlM'rs have arrayed themselves as prominently on
the side of law and order. The K nights ot I-abor is an
organisation of working men throughout the United
States and Canada, whose object Is to secure by legitl
