Hon. VIM. II. Yale, President Of tho Senate !:
S1R-1 have the honor to enclose
herewith, for the information of the
Senate, communication from Hon.
VIM. Seeg:r, Secretary Of the Board OF
immigration Of this State, and several
letters received by him from various
persons, acting as the agents Of the
Mennonities, a religious denomination
now residing in Russia, concerning their
emigration to and settlement in Mime
suta.
This people Is said to number many
thousand souls, and to possess property
to the amount Of about 100000, 900.
The paramount tenet in their religious
faith seems to be opposition to bearing
arms, principle which they have a.
ways insisted upon and in which they
have been INDUCED BY Russia until
recently. The fact that their numbers
have never been decimated by
war nor their property confscated
or destroyed by contcnding armies, &C.
counts largely, for their growth in
numbers aud in wealth. So long as
they composed but small religious
sect, the exemption that tho Russian
Government INDUCED them in was
overlooked by their neighbors who did
not enjoy the same immunity, but since
thew have become so numerous and
prosperous, their exemption from the
bufaass that othe: citizens Of the Em-
hffe haahas created dissatisfaction,
,ad11tdSs escnt Emperor has revoked
their chartered privileges which is the
main inducement for their abandoning
that country. It Is not their purpose

The New Congressional ApportiOn-

We have been asked whether there is
any precedent for a Congressional appor-
tionment law being changed and modified
by a Legislature subsequent to the one
which adopted it. Certainly there is. We
will give a marked instance in point In
1912 the Democratic majority in the Ohio
Legislature passed a statute redlstricting
the State. 1t was violently and desper-
ately opposed by the Wings. Two years
thereafter they succeeded in getting the
Legislature, and Immediately proceeded
to redistrict. A Congressional Apportion-
ment Law is nothing more nor less than a
simple statute, and like all other statutes
is subject to amendment, modification and
repeal. 1t has in no sense the sanctity of
a constitutional provision. Our present
ap~portionment does not comply with the
law of Congress. The districts are neither
compact IN form, contiguous in territory
nor do they have the requisite population
some districts having far more and 9TH
ers far less than the required number.
The present Legislature must rectify all
this and amend the act, so it will Be in
compliance with the law of Congress
adopted by a Republican majority. II q
Republicans should be the last 10 fluid
fault.-EnguGreT, 10h.

The internal revenue receipts have fall
len to aquarter of million dollars per day
which Is only about half what is usually
collected at this season of the year. There
is also a large dimlnution in the custom
house duties. This. of course, will st9p
the policy which has been pursued by our
late Secretaries of the Treasury of taking
up and paying off the National debt be-
fore it is due. just at present one of the
best things that ear be devised for the re-
lief of the people is to diminish taxation.
The taxes should be reduced to the lowest
minimum that will pay the interest on the
National debt, combined with fair esti-
mates for Indispensable expenditures. We
have been collecting 500, 100000 per
year, whereas $780, 1000 600 ought to be an
abundant sum. The taking off of $780,
100000 would very sensibly tighten the
load which q industry Is now carrying,
and which is most severely felt by the
people.-Erchdnqe.

rHE TINES ON THE CRISIS.

THE n. Y. TINES ON THE CRISIS.
u The Administration organ in New York
City, The Times, of the 9th, in diseoursing
UPON the financial situation says:
ut is certain at all events that no re-
dundancy of ~greenbaeks precipitated the
crisis; and we respectfully request their
abolition as the best remedy for our pres.
emit ills. The macs of our people will new
er consent to surrender them Tor gold coin
for ordinary circulation. They helped to
fight our battles, to win our victories, and
to save the nation during the war, and
contributed immensely to our prosperity
since. AS touching the financial situation
and the depression Of the railway and
manufacturing interests, we respectfully
submit thatno present reliance should be
placed on Congress or the theoretical dis.
cussion of specie payments. The difficult
ties had best be confronted by patience to
endure and prudence and economy to.
overcome them. If the worst has not al
ready been realized it can be anticipated,
and our belief is that the worst will be
realized long before Congress acts definite
ly on financial affairs, which will probably
be midsummer. BY that time more cur
rency Of any sort may not be needed; be-
fore that time less currency thar we now
have would not be submitted to by the
popular necessities. The most that Com
gress will probably do in the meantime

The result in Ohio is reversed In New
York. There the Democrats elect their
State ticket but lose the Legislature.
Here they lost their State ticket with
the exception of Its head, but have the
Legislature. This gives mixed political
administration in both States, which up
on the whole is not to be regretted. To
overwhelming majorities in Congress and
State Legislatures may be traced most OF
the evils of basty aud injudlcIous legisla-
tion.-CEncinnGti Commercial.
From the signs of the times we udge
the mixed political condition of things
will get beautifully less. The charm has
been broken-the spell removed-the peo-
pie convinced of the absolute necessity of
a change. We opine the next few years
will show an u'amiring until Grant & Co.
will retire in disgrace.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean and other
Western organs of the Administration are
inclined to attribute the Waterloo of their
party IN Wisconsin to hard times and bad
harvests. for which, they plead, Mr.. Grant
and the Republican party are not respon=
slble. But the facts are against them,
The harvest has been an unusually good
one But what awaited it to the Wiscon-
sin farmer that he harvested a hundred
bushels of wheat if he could not dispose of
them, oil, having disposed of them, could
purchase nothing with the proeeeds2 Ii
the crash of Mr.. Grants friends in the
banking business acting upon his vicious
system of finance prevented the banks at
Chicago from advancing the funds required
to market and move the wheat crop of
Wisconsin, Mr.. Grant and party must take
the responsibility. Much more is it due
them that the purchasing power Of a
bushsl Of wheat has been so seriously cur
tailed that the Western farmer is a pau
per in the midst of plenty. In these mat
tsrs the people ultimately saddle the
right horse-EEchGnge.
