Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1879-11-04

Some time ago the press Of New York city
called attention to the fact that large percent
age OF the immigrants arriving at Castle Garden
were paupers. The state board Of charities took
hold OF the matter and by investigation ascer-
tanned that the inflow of crippled and fnfirm
persons was being encouraged by authorities In
Europe, who thus rid themselves OF the care of
these paupers. These helpless people were
landed In New York without dollar in
their pockets, and in very many in
stances in rags and suffering from disease
Their passage from Europe had been paid, and
they were led to believe that America was an
extensive benevolent institution, wherein they
would be cared for in ease and comfort. The
board of charities, after considering the subject
determined to appeal to Congress at the coming
session, not only to enact some law, II possible
to prevent such wholesale immigration of pau
pers in future, but also to appropriate money to
defray the expense OF returning this class of
people to the European ports from which they
ship. This plan, alone, would probably be
effective in putting stop to the pauper e1por-
tation from Europe, as the authorities who en-
gage in 1t would soon find it to be useless ex-
pense to pay their passage over here. AS the
whole country is interested in the matter, no
doubt Congress will give it proper attention.

The Educational Monthly is doing excellent
service In the cause of school reform. This is
the way it opens an article upon one of the
evils OF the prevailing system:-' Cram! cram!
cramI Those out Of doors have no lessons to
learn, and those in doors have more than they
can remember. Thus it ever has been, and thus
1t ever will be. We might as well complain OF
moonshine, as Of this Inconsistency. We verify
believe that If knowledge could be equalized,
our country could be saved from disgraceful re-
proaches. Take OF the loftiest branches of
learning from surfeited scholars, and give them
to starving youngsters, in the shape OF reading,
writing and arithmetic"

Philadelphia, with smaller population than
New York city, registers 25, SAT more voters than

In few days the smoke Of battle will have
blown away, the defeated will be through ex-
planning how the disaster came about, and
blessed change!-the American people can be
giving its mind to its thanksgiving turkey.

In an interview recently published in THE
STAR well-informed politician of Massachusetts,
stated that Gen. Butler was seeking the COVER
norship of that state simply as stepping stone
to the presidency. This statement has been
confirmed by Mr.. Bird, of Massachusetts,, who
in speech the other day warned democrats not
to vote for Gen. Butler unless they wanted to
put him in training for the presidency. Mr..
Bird said: seen. Butler last year sent to me one
of his lackeys who said to me: Gen. Butler
desires me to say to you If you will take the
nomination on the ticket with him as lieutenant
governor you shall be the acting governor of
Massachusetts. Gen. Butler says he don't care
anything about the goyernOrship Of Massachu-
sets; that isn't what he is AFTER He told me
this from Gen. Butler: THAT isn't what 1 am
after. have Interior aims, and If you will take
the second place on the ticket we shall both be
elected and will give the entire management
of the state to YOU" The Boston Post quotes
this and adds that proofs of Buffers presidential
scheme ''are to be found on every hand"

The arrangements have about been completed
for calling an extra session of the legislature of
Florida TO grant charter to the company which
proposes to construct canal across the state.
Gov. Drew was unwilling to convene the legis-
lature at the expense OF the people, and the
canal company deposited In the state treasury
$4,000 to pay the expenses Of the session, which
will last, 1t Is understood, but five days The
state authorities maintain that there is nothing
OF political nature concealed in this move
ment, and that is probably tue. But should the
Legislature while In session conclude TO pass an
act changing the method of electing presidential
electors, there is nothing to prevent it. The
democrats have majority OF thirty odd In the
present legislature, and to invest that body
with the power to choose the next presiden-
tial electors would make the vote safe for
the democratic ticket. AS Florida is uncomfort-
ably close upon popular vote, 1t is quite likely
the democratic legislature may deem it expedi-
emit to relieve the party OF any trouble or
anxiety with regard to the state. Gov. Drew, a
few weeks ago, when questioned ON this SUBJ
Ject replied that 1t would be for the legislature
10 determine whether or not the method OF
choosing electors should be changed; that it
WOULD not be convened for that purpose, but
might take the subject up"
