The policy of 'maslerlv Inactivity
which characterized the last session of
the Forty-sixth congress, did not delude
the public as to the purposes and spirit
OF a body whose uLterances were temper
ed TO cover certain contingencies which
freer expression of its real animus
would have evoked ut the polls in No
Vember. The lessons of the extra SEES
sion were so convincing as to appeal to
the small remnant of discretion pos
sessed by even the fabulous brigadlers,
and through the force of the fatal ex-
ample OF such fire-eaters as Hill, Lamar
and Blackburn, the Bourbons were en-
abled, during the recently adjourned
session, to place an embargo upon the
freedom of seditious oratory which re-
sounded through the halls of the capital
last summer and fall.
But the policy of the Democratic
national Legislature was none the less
determined, though comparative reti-
cence marked its councils, and the rev.
pulmonary measures of the extra session,
though not openly advocated by their
former champions, nevertheless received
the sanction of majority vote, and the
renewed effort to substantially abroeate
the federal election law by lacking TO
the appropriation bill for the support of
deputy marshals, an obnoxious rider.
was only frustrated by the loyalty Of a
Republican president who promptly
vetoed all bills so encountered.

IT Is estimated by observing, well in
formed men that the immigration to the
United States from Europe this year will
number 100000 persons, and for next year
not less than 100000. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that each immigrant will be worth
$1,000 to the country, which will make the
round sum this year $45O,OOO,OOO, and next
year 100000, 900, a total of $750,0O0,0OO

The wealthy classes of the South have be-
gun their annual hegirs to the northern lakes
and watering places, but it is pleasant fact
to note that fewer are doing so this year than
usual. This IL because our own summer re-
sorts are becoming better known and are be-
ing made more attractive. There is no use
in going North when we have delightful sea-
shores and health-giving springs of our own,
just as pleasant in every respect as those of
the northern states. There are many valid
reasons we could urge in favor of our people
staying South, but the one that can get
just as good entertainment and have really
pleasanter time than at the North, is all suf..

The Contest BEFORE Us.
Chicago Inter- Ocean.

The Inter- Ocean has been 10 the prelim-
mary skirmish and its readers have known
every day Just where to find it. They will
find no difficulty in this respect now that the
real battle has opened. With forty rounds in
the cartridge. box, and in close connection
with the ammunition train, which has been ac-
commodating for twenty years, we obey the
ord r of the majority and shall march for
ward to achieve victory in November The
party is to have no child's work, and needs
every true mans vote, and every patriotic
womans smile and encouraging word. The
wisest men and the most thoughtful students
of history know that grave questions are at
issue, and on the decision the peace and pros
perity of the nation depend. 1t is not a
question of men SO much rs it Is, Shall the
future destinies of the nation, now in its hour
of greatest prosperity, be turned over to those
whose hands have been raised to strike, and
did strike, murderous blows? Elect Dem
ocratic President and the North must pre-
pare to take care of and feed two millions of
fleeing blacks from the cotton-helds and SUI
gar-pantatons Of the South. The whole
system of labor in the North will be over
turned by the fleeing fugitlves of the South,
and the South will at the same time be de-
spoiled'by its unacclimated laborers This is no
fancy picture, but looms as positive fact Hun
dreds of colored people from Texas, Louis
lana, Alabama, and other Southern States
state that "the colored people will await the
issue of another election, and if Democratic
President should be elected they will lose all
hope of protection" There are other grave
questions--of finance, and States rights, and
honest administration ofatfairs in tn interest
Of the whole people-which will enter into
the discussion of the campaign. But the
question of the rights of the laborer, and the
enforcement of the laws protecting every
citizen Of the nation, will constantly and
persitently force itself 10 the front. In
such contest, where the oppressed race are
doomed in case ofthe failure of the Repub-
lican party, the Inter.O Ocean will stand up
and battle with all the strength at its com
mand. For months we have seen the
character OF the conflict, and have labored
with migt and maine for the glorious ola
leader who has always led to victory. We
would be untrue to every teaching of the
great party of which he is so grand men,
Der If we were to spare any effort to make
this campaign lasting defeat to the disloyal
Democracy.
