WHAT THE CHINESE THINK.
The China Mail says:—" Canton is covered with posters warning the people not to go to Australia, where ' the moose has got into the cow's ear,' i.e., where thMP natives are taking a mean advantage ofthe Chinese monster's helpless position. The police connive at the roughs insulting behaviour, and the authorities are too weak to get at the offenders. The happy land has changed into a country of sorrow. Friends are warned by telegraph to stay at home and eat the Emperor's rice. Worst of all, the ' bosses' are levying a ■ poll tax of 100 dols on each Chinaman. Sydney and New-sbilun (? New Zealand) are as bad as New California (P Victoria). Report say the pewter hills of Ltnchisan (P Tasmania) are a happy land, but this ii only a small valley, and already overpopulated by pauperH. The officials, with usual Chinese conceit, are spoken of as ' chiefs' who have given in their submit* sion." ' .
