4 BLOW At IMMIGRATION.

The immigration already pouring into
this country from Europe proves that
we will during this year receive co.,
900 more population. Few of these re-
main in your large cities they go to the
West or Southwest. Ifthcse lands had not
been given away to thcse railroad companies
these emigrants could purchase them for n
dollar an acre, and now they have to pay u
large price to the corporations. These men
are tillers of the soil, and enrich the land
by their labor. The prosperity of the coun-
try is due to the labor of thcpeople, These
corporations have become Immensely
wealthy. They have run your Judiciary
How long can the stability of your govern

if displeased, vote against them for re-
election.
Is il not time that this insane greed Of
office, high as we'll as low, should be
moderated? If n man too greatly Graves
an Office he becomes a slave to those who
| have it to bestow. If mans happiness
| depends on being reelected TO Congress
he is more likely to devote his first term
to seeking the favor of the managers of
politics in his party than to studying the
wants of his constituents. This is short
sighted policy. 1t would be wiser selfish
ness for him to serve his constituents and
the whole country so we'll that the man
ayers could not afford to displaco him in
the next convention.
The fierce philippe of Charles Sumner
against second term for a President,
and the still fiercer TRADES of political
bureaus against a third term last year,
were to great extent tributes to the
sturdy independence of President who
had refused TO be coerced 10y Office
seekers into compliance with their
wishes.
The greatest reformin our civil service
would he that which should begin at the
highest place. Imagine a President alb
solutely free from any desire to be re-
elected or TO influence the choice of his
successor. lie would not fcarto offend
bosses, great or small, because he would
not himself be aiming to be u boss of
bosses. To those who had business with
him he could be gracious and attentive,
because he would not be dazed by the
opportunities of mob, upon every men,
Der of which he had endeavored TO be-
stow smile. lie would deny himself to
those who came only to beg rewards or
sell their future services. Not being him
self an oflico-seeker, he would not be
afraid of what oGice-seekers might do
against him if he resisted their impor-
tunitios.
All this is noargument against re-elect-
ing good President. lis only athought
MS 10 how much stronger man would be
for reelection who would not care over
much about it, and how much better the
civil service would be if great institutions
were not overturned for factional pur-
poses, as the New York custom-house was
in 1878.
