There have been 1924, ,492 arrivals
of immigrants in this country since
1854, and yet John Kelly wonders be-
cause his candidate for Mayor of New
York only has 1900 majority.
"A very old man voted three times
at Washington, Ind, in the recent
state election. On his trial it was
convincingly shown that, though So
Der, he had been SO carried away by
excitement as to forget that he had al
ready voted.
AT the base of that ''highest
point" in the Rocky Mountains, where

Ohio river, and agreed to each set q

promise to marry whomsoever should
find the bottle. One of the girls has

Almost Young Again.

My mother was afflicted a long time
with Neuralgia and dull, heavy in
active condition of the whole system;
headache, nervous prostration, and
was almost helpless. No physicians
or medicines did her any good. Three
months ago she began to use Hop Bit
ters, with such good effect that she
seems and feels young again, although
over 70 years old. We think there is
no other medicine fit to use in the
family. "A lady in Providence, R. L.

New York Times.

New York Times.
A number of gentlemen of both
political parties propose to appeal
through the Times for a national sub.
scription to provide perpetual fund
whose annual amount shall be en-
joyed during life aud non-holding of
Federal Office by the oldest ex-Presi-
dent Of the United States. The min
inlum capital Of tue fund shall be
$3.50, 900, aud its probable income not
less than Bl2, 800. The details as to
the management of such a trust are
matter for after consideration the
immediate questions are, can the
money be raised and will such q move.
ment commend itself to the support
and approval OF the people of the
United States? While not presuming
to give an authentic reply to either
question, Inquiries made on behalf of
the Times would lead us to answer
both very confidently in the aflirma-
tive. Already subscriptions to the
amount of $4,000 have been guaran-
teed in u neighboring city, and there
is no reason, beyond the desirability
OF making the movement popular
one, why the whole amount should
not be subscribed by twenty-five
wealthy citizens of the United States
But it is very obvious desirable that a
movement like this should be partici-
pated in by the whole people, that the
quarter dollar of the laborer should 90
TO make the fund as as well as the S1O,-
600 of the millionaire. We fully ex-
pect to see the aggregate subscription
reach $500, 900, and we trust that the
number of those giving small sums
will be no less remarkable tn an the
munificence of those who are able to
give large ones.
IL may be necessary to explain that
the phrase, the oldest living EXPIRES.
ident of the United Statesn means the
ex-Presldent whose incumbcncy is
most distant in point of time and
that the plan we have outlined does
not, for the present at least, cOntem-
plate the enjoyment of q pension by |
more than one eX-President at q time. |
The fact that General Grant would in |
all probability, be the first beneficiary
of the contemplated trust, does not in |
the least, make it movement in his |
special interest. In fact, one Of the |
reasons which have weighed with |
these who desire to see the movement |
assume distinctly national character
is to be found in the Oft-repeated pro-
posals to raise fund which should
be purely personal testimonial to
General Grant. Without having any
authority to discourage these proposals
we imagine that the benefits of such a
national scheme as we have outlined
could be accepted by General Grant
or any succeeding recipient, without
either the feeling of personal obliga,
tion or impaired self respect which
might attach to a merely personal
gift. Our columns are open for such
discussion of the scheme as may be
profitable, and for the record of all
subscriptions to it received at the
Times Office or elsewhere.

A Rebuke to Garfeld's MaIigners.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
1t is fit that the brave soldier, the
w Use, experienced, honorable states
man, James A. Garfield, whom his
partisan opponents so shamefully de-
famed and rcviled without reason or
excuse, should proudly accept yester-
days victory as a vindication, full
and complete, of all the cruel, ,cowardly
and malicious charges made against
him; as a Tebuke to his maligners, and
rs vote Of confidence in his integ-
rity, and as mark of the respect and
admiration which his countrymen
have for him as citizen, soldier and
statesman. Yesterday he was the
candidate Off party to-day he is the
President-elect- of a whole country
He has been many years in making
the honorable, useful record upon
which he stands. 1t is altogether that
of a patriot who loves his country
better than self or party, 1t is un-
finished as yet, with great oppOrtuni-
ties before him in his high office to
add to it That he will add to it there
can be no doubt entertained. That
his administration will add lustre to
his fame and enhance the country
prosperity in "sOlid south" as well as
loyal, United North, there can be nc
doubt. Among other things for
which, on our national day of thanks
giving, the people should give thanks
is for the election of President who
will know no North or no South, but
who will, in the broadest spirit of un-
selfish patriotism, be the Chief Mag,
iStrate of an entire nation.

In Montgomery county the official
votes gives Garfield one majority over
Hancock, in total vote of q, ,05l. The
county treasurer was also elected by a
majority of one vote. This case illus
trates more fully than anything we
can say the importance OF a single
vote. We have heard men say, "surely
one vote will make no difference"

Kelly's Alarm.

New York Herald.
John Kelly defeated the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency by Civ
ing New York State to Garfield He
does not care for this so far as relates
to the moral aspects of the treason, but
he is uneasy over the possible conse-
quences to him personally, which he
now dimly foresees. Hence his howl
over the colonization of voters. Any
explanation of the defeat which as
signs another cause than Kelly's trea-
son is likely to be useful to him just
now. But the people will not be de-
ceived There is no illegal vote in
this city. But. there is an electoral
fraud in this sense, that the poor crea-
ture who train in the wake of John
Kelly were made TO vote for Garfield
some because they were deceived,
others because they were bullied, and
this will be so every time that Kelly
has the chance to make it so. What
is the country or the Presidency to
him? Nothing. What is the posses
sion of the city Government? Every
thing.
