The New York State Commissioners Of
Emigration have requested Congress to pass
an emigration law, SO as to prevent the habit
that several European countries have fallen
into of shipping their paupers and criminals
to this country. 1t has been known for some
time that the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg
Schwerin abolished prisons in his country and
shipped his prisoners to Chicago, finding this
the most economical way of caring for
them. Other petty German princes have fol-
lowed his example, and this country has thus
been made the recipient of half the criminals
and convicts of Europe. To prevent such
outrages in future the New York Emigration
Commissioners suggest to Congress the
necessity Of some law on this subject.

The Canadian House of Commons has a
number Of protective tariff resolutions. SUBJ
ject to amendment by the government. The
ostensible purpose Of the new tariff is to in
crease the revenues of the Dominion. Its
real object, however, is to force American
goods out of the market, as far as possible.
The American manufacturers have been COM
peting SO actively with the Canadians and
English that it has become necessary, unless
most of the field is abandoned into our hands,
to adopt protective measures. The proposed
tariff is popular In Upper Canada, but Is
strongly opposed in the maritime provinces
and by the grain dealers, grain being taxed
as well as manufactures. The new departure
OF the Canada government is a compliment
at once to American skill and enterprise.

and he started to overtake the train, which
by this time had thirty-six hours the start OF
him. On Friday, at noon, Whitaker tele-
graphed from Ogden that he had made up
twenty-one hours and was plunging along at
the rate of forty-flve miles an hour, and ex-
pected to catch the train within the next 800
miles. On Saturday he succeeded in over
hauling the train and came In on time, thus
assuring the Democratic organization of the
House against all contingencies. There is
some sense in this sort of race against time.

twenty Democratic voters. The result OF this
new departure will be watched In other large
cities with much interest. Ii the experiment
presents as an outcome a fairly representa-
tive ticket, it Is probable that it will be
adopted elsewhere. The Cincinnati theory is
that large number Of men cannot be as
easily controlled In certain interests as Q
small body. This once established, large con-
ventions will soon be the rule everywhere.
