5	1895	Mark Twain : Interview with South Australian Register. (1895). "I was never disposed to make fun of the Chinaman ; I always looked upon him as a pathetic object ; a poor, hardworking, industrious, friendless heathen, far from home, amongst a strange people, who treated him none too well. He has a hard life, and is always busy and always sober, therefore I never could see anything to make fun of in the Chinaman. No, he is not wanted in America. The feeling is that he ought to go, but America is a place for all people, it seems."	Person: Twain, Mark

Chief among them were my life-long friend, the Rev. J.H. Twichell, and Rev. John W. Lane, through whose persistent efforts Presidents Porter and Seelye, Samuel Clemens [Mark Twain], T.F. Frelinghuysen, John Russell Young and others were enlisted and brought forward to stay the work of retrogression of the part of the Chinese.	Person: Twain, Mark Person: Twichell, Joseph Hopkins
