THE CHINESE QUESTION SOLVED.

Here the Constitutional Convention, to cay nothing of no end of statesmen and writers, have been fumbling around for five years after a sure way of getting rid of the Chinese, and belioid, at the eleventh hour we find that the needed Mongolian exterminator has been modestly hiding his light under a bushel in our very midst. This hitherto unbonoured and unsung political economist is known to local fame by the familiar and altogether unworthy appellation of "Old Man Schultz," and he is in the liquor trade, on being arrainged in our Trade Fraud exposures for selling a 3dol. whiskey that contains enough fusel oil to send its user to Stockton in six months, this far-seeing patriot comes to the front with the ingenious explanation that our analyist must have run afoul of the brand bis house prepares exclusively for their Chinese trade. This settles the whole matter; this puts the Chinese question into a nutshell. Just let the powers that be pass a law making it a felony for a Mongolian to drink any other than Schultz and Yon Bargen's whiskies, and the thing is done. A really reliable arlitle of forty rod jimjams introduced amoag the heathen will thin his ranks with a Telocity altogether ' surprising. Those that do not succumb on dry land will throw themselves overboard by the hundreds, and the predatory shrimps will welcome the copper-coloured invader with hungry claws to hospitable graves.—San Francisco News Letter.
