The teeent entbreak of another High -
libeler fella in Chinatown will serve to
give an idea of what San Francievo lute
lave etruggling with for years. The
thing Lae been developea on the Pacifw
coast to a point unareamed of here.

able element in the population of Cali-

Imperial 'Etuthoritiee, who have front
time to time east, their etteation on
their largest foreign colony,. have telly
kept it under the surface,
tem 'reason why Tana WM'S have Mit '
flourished in New 'reek Is thee, the Chin -
ase quarter Imre is not isolated as it ia
in San Freneisco and Portland. In these
(title% aa in the other mailer citiee of
the Pattific coast, Cadiretown is a
apart, kept so by the popular prejudice
against the Oriental.
At tine corner you are in the United
atates; at the otheriyou are in Chin,
Now, these Higlibinder complicetions
belong to the eltineee, and are held by
all true -Chinamen to be a thing with
which the wiatee bave no concern. They
will net epee:ate freely wbere there is
any great danger of being eeen and re-
ported to our courts. The whole sys-
tem depends upon keeping it to them-
e selves; keeping the Chinese even those
who bave been injured by 'their opera-
-la:tons, from reporting to the pollee.
Yea, once started, the native, wild
barbarism of the Chinese drives them
far. In spite ef the ease with Which the
New York police can find white :wit-
nesses to the Tong murders, it ia
imhke-
ly that the eottebeiteveen the IIip Sing
Tong and the On Leong Tong will be
dropped.
It will be kept, be abeyance Until the
eftee of the three Hip Sines beld by the
police for late murder of Baldwin, the
White man killed by a etray eltot ia the
Tong fight, are :sottlea. Then, :some
time in the future,•wIten the police least
expect it, the 'thing will break out again.
It may be six, months; it nay be two
.aears; but unless the leopard has chang-
ed his spots, slime Hop :Sing or On Leong
is going to get bpally•aurt before they
call a truce.
All Chinese soeiety, both here and at
home, is a network of secret societies,
most of them, be it said, societies of
good purpose. Nearly every Chinaman,
an hate cities at least, 'belongs to five or
t'aat.
In the language of George Ade,
ellhaery Chinaman la a "joiner."
The societies have many purposes—re-
tigious, commercial, social, To translate
taus into American terms: A man may
ibelong to a college fraternity, to the
Itlas'ons, to the Knights of Pythias, the
13ankere' AsSoelation, the Y. M. C. A.
aaid the Epwortet League. To bring it
nearer to the Mites° 'point. of view, one
tiniest Enamour that the Bankers' Asso-
elation, the Epworth League and. the
Y. 1,1.0. A. are secret societies, .just
as
strict and ant as binding in then rules
as the Masons. That Isthe situation
with every Chinaman whoamounts to
mutat.
These societies made their :appearwace
in San Francisco with tae first, begin -
ins of Chinatown. Along in the '10's
on organization welch called itse1f the
'Chinese Masons began to assume great
prominence in the quarter. Of them,
strange things were told at first.
It was supposed by the uninitiated that
:they had really something to do with the
Masons, and. that their objects were fra-
ternity and benevolence. It was only
:when n seriee of mysterioes and emay-
tenged murders startled the police that
they learned through the Chinatown
'bums—the only whites who came hear
,understanding what really happened M
.eslthe quarter—that the Masons had. a
---"great deal to do with these crimes.
.An energetic' investigation showed
that the Masons were ;malty banded to-
gether for crime and murder, ;though for

It le rather simple eo far. But when
it conies to the inter -Tong disturbances,
the thiug becomes complieated clear out
of the understanding of a
ed Caucasian,
In the first place, they. wreak all the
private vengeance that es wreaked, in
Chinatown, To avenge a wrong the
Chinaman never goes to American
courts. He settles it himself.
There is ouly ono way of taking ven-
geance—killing. Either a wrong is e
killing matter, or it is not worth aveng-
ing.
The Chinese who has stolen re slave
or beatenatuother in a big business deel
may expect to go scot free or to die for
it, The ,wronged cam, if he is Mad
enough, goes to 0. Tong and offers his
price. They ettend to the matter,
He never ltuo•ws who did it, but when
he hears that Ilia enemy Is dead, lfe
knows thet the Tong has delivered the
goods and will be around with a bill.
Estimates of the price for this delicate
service vary. It has been quoted as low
as $20.
Occasionally' two big companies, com-
mercial or social, get into a serious
fight. In that ease they hire Higlibind-
ers to do the.work of bringing the rivals
to their s.euses. Such a transaction
brought about tbes fiercest and most fa-
mous of Higlatinder wars in Califoreia,
All these things would go on very.
nicely but for the Kamen equation. Be-
ing thugs and murderers and thieves,
the Highbinders companies cannot keep
peace among themselves. In a thousand
ways they fall out with one another.
Then follows an inter -Tong Hig,hbinder
war a Ike kind which New York had
on the Bowery last week,
One Tong, 'believing itself .wrongeds
starts out to kill a member of the' oppos-
ing Tong by way 01 ovengeance. It realty
dmj
oesn't
atter ust what member is
killed so long as the debt is paid. Still,
there is reason to believe that delicate
personal preference comes into these
matters and. that the slayers prefer an
-unpopular man to a popular one.
Their man is marked and followed.
His habits are learned, and the aveng-
ers lay their 'plans.
In the Tong house, among barbaric
Oriental ceremonies of Which the whites
d bn
conlaveo understanding, they draft
their men and swear them to the work.
Wherever the murderers go, scouts go
with them to mark the course, of the
victim and prepare a getaway.
The thing ono° done, :the pistol is
passed from imnd itand until it disap-
pears down. oe of tbe secret passages of
et
Ohinown. Only where there 'is a slip
do the police catch the murderer with
the goods cm him.
Even then, unless they huge clumeily
done it under the nose of the whites,
who is there to wear against the mur-
derer? The very brothers of the dead
man won't do it. In •the plaee they
are. afraid to, and in the second place
the devious Oriental mind w
doesn't ork
that way.
The good old stories of these High -
binder fights in California. are innumer-
able. There was the big. scrap in the
Jackson Street Theatre in the '80's.
Two Tongs fell afoul .of each other in
elle lobby of the theatre. They put their
backs to the, walls and blazed away just
n
as the OLeongs reed Hip Sings did on
the Bowery the other night.
When .the smoke cleared away there
were six dead* and a number of others
hurt. The injured were mainly in the
audience, peaceful speetators. As for a
conviction, the polio° never got a smell.
The theatre was closed for a time at -
ter that, becattee the killing had made
ted out among the laboring people ote it rather anpopular. It had been open

with the trouble.
The term Highbinder is a survival of
the slang of our grandfathers. It start-
ed. in New York. In the palmy days of
the volunteer fire companies, it was ap-
plied to a tough, a man who .wanted
trouble.
The Argonauts brought it to Callan -
Ma, an(1 applied it at first to a peculiar
type of California tough. Then it came
to be used for any hard citizen, and af-
terward for the Chinese thugs. On the
Pacific Coast they are also called hatch-
et ,men, their weapons having been
hatchets and butcher cleavers in the
days before they learned the superior
virtues of a 44 revolver.
There is some subtle connection, not
easily got at by a Caucasian, between
the Triad society, which had such a per-
nicious ftetivity in Chins, in the middle
of the last century, the Boxers and the
Highbinder Tongs. All are probably an

Worry is one of the worst curses of
modern life. I say of modern life, not
because people a thousand years ago del
not worry, but because as' civilization
advances men become more highly strung
more sensitive and less tapable of de-
tachment. Thus we often say, in a very
expressive phrase, that a thing "gets up-
on the nerves." Something distressing
happens to us, and we cannot shake it
off. Some one treats us rudely, harsh-
ly or unkindly, and the word or deed
rankles in our minds. We think it aver
