IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.

The first annual report of the State
Board of Immigration Commissioners has
been received. Since the organization of
the Board in March, 1879, until Deem
Der 21st last, there arrived in Milwaukee
Is, 3S2 immigrants; of this number 4, 442
were Germans, ,312 Norwegians, 1871
Swedes, $50 Danes, 564 Englishmen, 445
Bohemians, 300 Irishmen, 222 French
men, 100 Poles, 131 Hollanders, II Swiss
40 Scotchmen, 80 Austrians, 10 Firms, 10
Hungarians and Italians. Wisconsin
was the destination OF 4,7S1 of these I'M
migrants; $3.50 settled in Minnesota; L.
092 made Mich gan their home and 524
went to Iowa. The Board is Of the opin-
ion that some four or five thousand i'm
migrants came into Wisconsin during the
season named, but coming directly from
Chicago without passing through Mil
waukee, were not noted. The average
amount of cash brought by each immi-
grant is estimated at about $40, which
gives 1894, GO for the number of immi-
grants passing through Milwaukee who
settled in Wisconsin alone. The Board
procured employment for all applicants,
and took care of nearly fifty sick and des-
titute immigrants; besides finding and
returning considerable missing luggage
which had been left over at Eastern land
ings or stations. The Board has also rem
dered itself useful in assisting many en-
migrants to reach their places OF destina-
ton, and by mailing and forwarding
nearly one thousand letters. Pamphlets
containing information and statistics con-
corning the state and its resources, have
been printed in English, German, Nor
wegian and Swedish, and literally distri-
buted throughout Europe; these pam
phlets have elected some very interesting
correspondence with persons of compare
tive means in the old country, and the
Board has assurances from Essen, Prussia
that number of miners and farmers will
emigrate to Wisconsin from there, next
spring. The Board, in reviewing the adj
vantages the State offers 70 immigrants
reports that there are now in Wisconsin
1869, 260 acres of State land, 3,086,00
acres of Government land, and 2,522,000
acres of railroad land, a grand total of T.
167, 260 acres, large portion of which is
excellent farming country. The report
concludes with plea for larger appro-
priation, in order to agitate at the sources
of emigration, that Wisconsin may re-
ceive her due share of foreign colonists
The Legislature, last year, appropriated
$500 for the use of the Board; the ex-
penses have been $2,329 20, leaving a
balance on hand of $170 81.

AssEMBLYMEN Eaton, Of Columbia
county, on Thursday last, introduced in
the body of which he is member, Joint
resolution looking to an amendment OF
the constitution relating to suffrage. The
profered changes are as follows: The
proposed measure authorizes citizens to
vote who have resided in the state six
months, instead of year, as is now re-
quired. In Michigan, Minnesota, Color
ado, Indiana, and other western states,
only three months residence in the state
is required. The proposed amendment
further requires a residence of ten days in
the election precinct; now, there is 10
fixed period required, and the colonial
ton, for the purpose of carrying a legisla-
tive or congressional district, can be east
~ practiced. Finally, it confers upon
the legislature authority to determine, by
appropriate legislation, who possess the
qualifications of voters, and to protect the
purity of the ballot-box. The resolutions
were referred to the committee on state
affairs.

THE proposition to elect presidential
electors by congressional districts in New
York, viii, if adopted, have depressing
influence on the hopes of several demo
cratic aspirants for the nomination. The
New York Sun has this to say oft:
Tilden, Seymour, Church, Hancock,
Bayard, Mcclellan, English, Parker,
Randolph, and other aspirants whose
hopes were founded on the theory of car
rying New York, all go by the board at
one full swoop if the bill of electors by
congressional districts, should become a
law, as it surely will do Their capital,
like the ghost of Banquo, will then van
ish into thin air.
1t is said that senator Thurman's spirits
are correspondingly bouyant, as he and
his friends think that after giving up
New York, the democrats will be COM
PEELED to turn their attention to Ohio
which they imagine Thurman might
possibly carry.

asked the counsel.
'My brother, Homer S. Twitchell. who
was murdered after being disarmed,' re-
piled the witness.
"Who was next appointed?'
"Mr. King, my brother-in-law, who was
murdered in 1876" aA
"Who next?"
'Wooster, who made the noise at the
courthouse, SO that my shooting should
not be heard"
"Your shooting? What do you mean
by your shooting?"
'When they attempted to kill me, and
unfortunately, as they think, only sue,
ceeded taking off both my arms and Grip
ping me in the leg"
"When was that?"
''That was in 1875. The house was
democratic, and the senate was a tie, with
a casting vote in the hands of republi-
can lieutenantgovernor, and they want
ed to make democratic majority"
Subsequently, in reply to the question
by Kellogg's counsel as to ''who was the
Mr.. Abney'' spoken of by the witness,
Twitchell replied "He was chairman of
the white-league organization, who forced
all the parish officers, seven in number,
to resign, and then after they had been
disarmed and had received safe conduct
to Shreveport, had them murdered in cold
blood, just outside the parish limits 1t
is need less to say that Twitchell was per
mitted to retire as soon as possible the
democrats wisely concluding that they
had Caught Tartar

PARNELL's manner before an audience
is thus described in The Springfield Re
publican's Boston correspondence: Par
nell is cold as an iceberg. He evidently
commits speeches to memory, and he has
no animation, no style. His voice is thin
his manner awkward. He does not seem
to be in earnest; he does not warm with
his theme. He seems the politician, not
the pleader. He does not sway his audi
ence. He cools, rather than fires, their
ardor''

LOUISIANA BULLDOZING.
'Ountry,

A little bit Of evidence cropped out the
other day in the Kellogg-Spoford in
vestigation before the senate committee,
which was not at all palatable to the
democrats. Marshall Twitchell, who was
wounded in ten places and lost both arms
in the Coushatta massacre, but whose
tongue was not cut out by the assassins,
was under crossexamination, when the
following colloquy occurred:
"Who was appointed tax collector of
Red River after it was made a parish?"

THE distinguished legal luminary who

town Democrat persists in writing down

Maine asserting the illegality of the flu
sionists' attempt to steal that state. Just
what the editor and his co-adiutors in this.

it is not quite clear. They are trying to
find the simplest and best way for back
ing out. Some of the fusionists are so
heartily ashamed of the part they have
been acting that they have deserted and
Joined the republican ranks, leaving the
fusionists without any quorum; and the

walk about the capitol, and elsewhere as
they may find it convenient and agree
able. Meanwhile the republicans, rein
forced by the deserving fusionists, are in
good working order and quietly proceed
ing with their business. The fusionists
are to be pitied. To attempt to steal the
legislature was bad enough; but to fail
in the undertaking and make themselves
the laughing stock of the whole country,
is indeed still worse, for the modification
must be very great. 1t is safe to say
that the next attempt to gobble repub-
ican state and turn it over to the demo
mocrats will not be made in Maine.
That is not a good locality for the sue

There's fraudulent fusion legislature down in

lad who found bowling at the top of his
voice in the crowd at the centennial exhibition,

said: matter enough; I can't find my mother.

JEFF DAVIS did not succeed in get
ting himself elected to the U. S. Senate
from Mississippi or rather more correct
way of stating it would be that he declin-
ed to be chosen on account of the injur-
ious effect it would have upon the demo-
mocratic party. He will wait until after
the next presidential election before COM
ing before the people again as candidate
for official position. Meanwhile, he will
see that none but such as he desires shall
come to the front in his state. The new
senator, who is to take the place of sena-
tor Bruce in 1881, is General George,
whom the Washington correspondent of
The Inter Ocean describes as the man
who conducted the rifle club and shotgun
democratic campaign in Mississippi in
1875, by which the state was by force
wrested from the hands of the republi-
cans. Soon after the campaign closed he
was rewarded by being made judge, and
now he is elevated to the senate. In his
election senator Lamar receives a rebuff,
as all his influence was to procure the cleo
ton Of General Walthall, of Greneda.
Lamar has interested himself very actively
for Walthall, but all to no purpose. 1t is
said that Lamar's influence in Mississip-
pi is on the decline. Barksdale, who
came SO near being elected, is an uncle of
the Barksdale who killed Dixon in Yazoo.
and Singleton, who ran up to within a
dozen of election, is member of con-
gress from the Yazoo district, and has
never found time and opportunity to de-
nounce political murders in his district,
and particularly the killing of Dixon.
This is the class of men which the demo
cratic party in the south Is filling con-
gressional seats with, and the north can
not open its eyes moment too soon to
the fact that it bodies no good to the
country,

SAYS The Sunday Telegraph "The
Sentinel has got the Reyes phobia again
as bad as ever. 1t sees Keyes every
where. 1t gives Keyes credit for doing
everything that is done in politics and
appointments in the state IF Reyes can
manage so much and manage it so well,
as a simple postmaster at Madison, as
United States senator he would be well
nigh all-powerful, and just such man as
Wisconsin ought to have as Matt Carpen-
ter's senatorial colleague, at Washing
ton" We are surprised that one so well
informed as the editor of The Sunday
Telegraph should not know that these
ebullitions on the part of The Sentinel
are set in motion by Reyes. He is get
ting little free advertising; that is all.
Of course, The Sentinel does not imagine
that it is being played upon and doing
Aeyes favor by its intended abuse, but
it is doing this nevertheless. And Keyes
knows it. 1t is an easy matter for him,
sitting there in the Madison post office, to
run the legislature, to give all necessary
attention to national affairs, to look after
our delegation in congress and see that
no mistakes are made; to regulate all the
government appointments in the state, to
take a run down to Washington occas-
ionally and give President Hayes any adj
vice he may need, and then have ample
time left to manage every county and
state convention, and do a great many
other things of that kind, besides manip-
ulating The Milwaukee Sentinel and
making it believe it is damaging him
fearfully, when in fact it is doing more tc
attract friends to him than he could gain
in any other way. Yes, Reyes is the
most active and influential man in Wis
consin, that is, according to The Milwau
kee Sentinel.

THE southern exodus does not seem to
be confined exclusively to negroes. One
day last week party of en1igrants from
North Carolina passed through Washing
ton, on their way west and left by the
Pennsylvania line, getting out of the city
before the Voorhees, committee knew any
thing about it. As they were all white
however, and presumably democrats, it is
thought that the exodus committee have
no objection to their going West, and
growing mp with the country.
