Emigration.

The tide of immigration to America is
beginning Yagain. and larger number of
arrivals this month compared with the
corresponding month last year. isreported
from New York. A large proportion of
these emIgrants are from the better class
of peasantry of Germany, Sweden and
1reland-many being provided with sufi-
cient means to give them good start.
Among the number are some excellent
mechanics, who ars tired of the continued
hard times in the old country and have
come to try their fortune in the United
States. Healthy emigration-that which
brings to our shores hard working people
of the more respectable class, is desirable,
and should be encouraged. The arrivals
the past two years have not been desirable,
however, being composed OF q dissolute.
worthless class-some of them notorious
scapegosts at home, who left the mother
country because @ longer residence was
risky. There is plenty of room in the
United States for respectable, hard work
ing yeomanry. and such tare always well
come, but criminals. and the sush and
castaways of crowded European cities are
not wanted. There is O redundancy of
that sort here now, without augmentiDg
the number.

Iowa Republicans never do anything by
halves. 1t is the pride of the Hawkeye
state TO be classed as the most intensely
stalwart of the union. Iowa has her noo-
bies too, and her political idols, as well.
Just now the particular star is Blaine. and
to show the world that Iowa was in solid
earnest, the delegates at the state con-
vention at Des Moines, just cheered them
selves hoarse when the name OF the man
from Maine was called. It was regular
Hawkeye "yawp," and was SO universal
that Grants friends were completely
silenced. 1t is getting 20 be Interestingly
close, is this scramble for the Republican
nomination. but though the Blaine men
yell the loudest, do the most talking and
work the hardest the man Grant has been
quietly gathering up the delegates. and
with such success, that Don Cameron and
Senator Logan claim the nomination OF
the man on horseback on the first ballot.

however, and what be has said or can saw
will not ipiure a soldier like Palmer.
The State Register briefly allades TO
Culom's attack on Palmer. as follows:-
Gov. Cullom ventured sneakingly, to
arraign ex.Gov. Palmer, insinuating that
the ex-governor sympathised with, or ap-
proved .isecessionismi This was enough to
make even dog laugh. While Palmer
was leading gallant regiments in the war
for the union, Cullom was hiding in the
bushes, afraid that he might be called on
10 do little fighting; aud nobody will deny
that Palmer has done more in one day for
the union that Cullom has done or will
do in all his pitiful career"
Cullom is one of those bitter partisans
who never can make a sensible speech,
and it is notorious fact that he has never
made an address in this state. without
mixing politics in with the rest of the dis
course. he has serveral times made
addresses before private institutions. and on
subjects which are supposed to be.and with
any fair minded man would be. free from
political bearing. but Cullom has always
added q political portion to the balance
He is bigoted partisan. take him any
way you will. and is incapable ofa con-

Sometime ago Don Cameron said that
Kentucky would send solid Grant dele
CATION to Chicago. Sherman frowned
Jolly. and pooh-poohed the idea, assuring
his friends that "Kaintuck" was his meat.
Blaine likewise thought it belonged to
him, and the stately Edmunds family
limited that when the time came, he would
show them all they were mistaken. Cam
eron never makes a mistake. however,
and as he predicted. SO has the convention
instructed. Kentucky sends solid Grant
delegation to Chicago. The forty two
votes of Illinois it is claimed will be for
Grant-at least the managers say so. and
from the success in Texas. Kentucky. Pen
nsyIvania and New York. it is reasonably
safe to expect that Grant will get tho dele
cation from this state. Thus the ball
rolls on. and it begins to appear inevitable
that the third-term managers will nomI-
nate the ex~president on the first ballot.
