South America Is q good place to emigrate
from. We had ocular proof OF this last year
In the colony of Poles who came here from
Venezuela. Other European colonists In our
sister continent seem equally anxious to get
away anywhere, anywhere out Of" the coun-
try. There ia German colony settled at
Diamente, In the Republic Of Buenos Ayres.
The colonists became satisfied some time ago
with that land OF Indians and revolutions and
proposed to leave. The government vetoed
this proposal The result was row, gen
eral fight, the soldiers being called In to en-
force the Veto The colonists were rather
roughly used, in consequence OF which they
reconsidered their plans and agreed 70 stay
In Brazil q somewhat similar condition Of
affairs exists. There are several thousand
Russian colonists in that country anxious to
leave. Nine hundred and twenty left 10 one
week last month and 700 are awaiting vessels
ut Parana. The Brazilian government Is
somewhat afraid of forcibly OBTAINING these
people but as 1t has sent a regiment OF troops
to see that they do not disturb the peace II
will be nothing extraordinary to hear that the
example OF the Argentine Republic has beer
followed and a number of the emigrants
dubbed over the head for wanting to emf

The "fiendsh compositor' gets In some ar
tistic work Oh the New York World OCCASION
ally. In recent article, speaking OF the
summer pilgrimage to Europe and, psrticu-
iarly, OF the large number OF lady passen-
gers on the departing steamers, occurs the
following passage:
No doubt they expect to return with charm
ing articles of toilet, bigotry and virtue.
A French maid IL usually very charming

husbands Of the ladies' might come under the
description of articles of virtue But as the

are imposed on either French maids or hus-

The California political fight ID by no means

The California political fight is byno means
over yet. The corporatlonists acknowledge
their defeat at the late constitution election,
but are 10th to leave the field on account OF
one defeat. They propose to begin the war
anew by electing legislature and judiciary
that will tear the new constitution to pieces.
It Is said that the railroads and mining com
panies put up 100000 during the late cam
paign, and are willing to risk another million
on the September election That they mean
war is evident from the course they are now
pursuing. The San Francisco Chronicle, or-
Ran of the Kearneyites, publishes each day
a long list of men who have been discharged
because they voted for the new constitution
The Central Pacific Railroad Company mas
not only not spared an employee who voted
their way but has actually dismissed every
man who cannot prove that he voted mo-
On the other hand, the Kearneyites have
passed resolution pledging themselves to
hang the first man elected by them to office
who sells out. This looks like war. Evidently
the political excitement in California will moi
cool down this year.

THE JETTY IMPROVEMENTS.

From our Washington dispatches 1t will be
seen that the Secretary OF War has opposed
an objection to the payment Of the last ap-
preparation of 100000 to Capt. Eads, repre-
senting the jetty company, for work per-
formed In deepening the South Pass channel.
At the time that the ietty company claimed
its last payment OF a half million dollars for
complying With the government contract In
the deepening Of South Pass till 1t afforded
twenty-five foot channel, the government en-
gineer and inspector of the jetty work, Capt
Brown. reported that the terms Of the con-
tract had been rigidly complied with, and that
the jetty company had obtained channel
over South Pass bar, and at the head Of the
passes, which afforded depth of twenty-five
feet for width OF two hundred and thirty
feet throughout the channel. Itappears that
since the report Of the government inspector
of South Pass was received, it Is reported
that the width Of the twenty-five foot channel
has diminished to one hundred and forty feet
at its narrowest point. Hence the objection
to paying for the work, whose results, 1t is
alleged by the authorities, have not been
maintained.
It is well-known fact that the main nav-
gable channel of South Pass has depth OF
over twenty-five feet throughout almost the
entire extent of its course. Across few hum
dred yards of the old bar at the sea end Of the
jetties, and for a few hundred yards over the
former shoal at the head of South Pass there
Is fair wenty-tive-foot channel. Ii its
width Is, at any Of these points, reduced to
40 or $50 feet it is just as available for the
present purposes Of commerce as If its width
were $50 or 500 feet. The channel is dcaitdbte
for commerce, an object which was contem-
plated in framing the jetty bill: and the ietty
contractors are entitled to the most liberal
construction their contract will bear.
The committee has SO far greatly increased

the facilities of the commerce OF the Missis-
sippi valley by securing six feet more navi-
gable water at the mouth OF the river than
ever was gained and sustained by govern
ment dredging, 1t has already expended In
securing this end more than half the total
amount granted In the South Pass jetty ap-
nronriation. and has benefited the commerce
Of the whole valley to an extent which, b1

The New York Times has been studying the
evils OF tenement house life from anew stand
point. It Is undeniable that the tenement
house system il responsible for much of the
immortality that prevails in that great city,
and that the tenement house population helps
to swell its death rate to its present high
figures. There is another evil, however, to
which the Times calls attention. the sickness
that tenement houses develop and the con-
sequent loss OF labor. The percentage Of
persons sick to the total population per year
Is ABOUT twenty-five to the thousand. that is.
eacn person is laid up by sickness an average
