THE CHINESE QUESTION.
To the Editor of the Globe. Sib,—l see from tho telegrams you publish of the proceedings in Parliament that our member’s head is screwed on tbe right way with respect to the Chinese question. He believes in the principle that it is no use locking tho door after the robbers are in, or bolting the stable when tho steed has gone. I was glad to see him on the side of those voting for a £SO poll tax. We don’t want the wifeless and soulless crowd amongst us, notwithstanding Sir William Fox’s eloquence of the morality of the Chinese and Dr. Wallis’ twaddle about their industry. Mr Allwright has taken the right stand on the question, and I am sorry to seo that the Government do not support bis views. The Bill is of course sweeping, and the Legislative Council are regarded ns liable to reject it. If they do it will bo but another reason why that Chamber should bo an elective one. Youre, &0., CAMEO. Lyttelton, Juno 22.
