BROWN MEN AN EVIL IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

In kimonos, Mother Hubbards and other queer raiment, 400 Japanese emigrants came into the country yesterday as passengers on the Pacific Mail steamer Mongolia. Like all preceding crowds of their countrymen, these latest arrivals were good specimens of the peasant class of the Mikado's realm, and like their predecessors, also, they come to take the places of white laborers in any vocation that may be available, and they come prepared to make a strong bid if wages are to be taken into account.

Not one of the Japanese arrivals yesterday could speak English. All of them, however, knew that they were coming to a land of promise, and all were prepared to answer all questions of the immigration officials in a shrewd manner. Each and every one of the emigrants, too, was supplied with the requisite $50 in cash to show that he or she was not liable to become a charge upon the county or State. Thus armed the horde of brown people had to be landed, and their number marks the number of white laborers who may be forced out of employment in household, field or vineyard within the next few months on this Coast.

Through an interpreter on board the Mongolia yesterday one of the newcomers said that many more Japanese were to come to this country within the next few months, for the United States offered the best field for those people in Japan who had for years past labored for the bare necessities of life. Like the preceding arrivals from Japan, the horde brought by the Mongolia was met by representatives of their race at the dock and provided with temporary quarters in this city. The able-bodied men of the crowd have, no doubt, been already furnished with positions in the city and at various points along the Coast at wages satisfactory to themselves, but demoralizing to citizens of this country.
