The Douglass monument and sarco-
phagus erected at Chicago, and which
cost about SO. 900, is now receiving its
finishing touches, a bronze tablet medal
lion being added, which represents
Legislation" and which will have a
place on one side of the base. The re-
mains of Douglass repOse within the sar-
cOphagus in an iron casket. The mar
Die Of which the sarcophagus is made
came from Rutland, VT, Mr.. Douglass
native county. On its front side are
these inscriptions: Stephen A. Douglass
Born April 90. 1918. Died June g.,
1861" Tell my children to obey the
laws and uphold the Constitution" The
Chicago Inter Ocean gives a lengthy de-
tailed description of the monument and
tomb, the first we have seen, showing it
to be a truly magnificent structure wor-
thy one of the greatest and noblest
statesmen and Democrats the United
States have ever produced.

from them, and hence, where better
protected than in Congress2
In our well ordered government the
machinery for administering it is so adj
mirably arranged and fitted that the
disability" of the President must be of
prolonged character to seriously i'm
pede the operations of the Executive
departments, or Of so violent nature as
to become an exigency calling for urgent
remedy, before interference with 1t is
warrantable.
In the case in point, it is now seven
weeks since the President was
shot. Has the public service suf-
fered by his confinement to his
bed during that time2 If it has,
the press and the Republican faction
that would profit by the substitution of
Vice President Arthur for President
Garfield, have been wonderfully reticent
about it. In one instance the Presidents
signature was needed to an official docu-
ment, and we are told that he signed
the paper readily and knowingly,

fields condition be not improved, it may
take such national measures as may be
necessary Ghe Democrats holding each
Republican faction in check by impeach-
ing and trying the disability" as its
probabilities may require. Meanwhile,
so long as the wheels of government run
smoothly under the direction of the re-
spective heads of departments, and the
track Is clear, free from
distractions so far as human
foresight can reach, qohy not let aoeU
enough alone? 1t will be the part of
wisdom to do so. And besides, it will
only be doing Mr.. Garfield the justice to
which he is entitled for should an
emergency arise requiring a stronger
hand at the helm than his own the coun-
try ought to be sure that he will honestly
convene Congress to take such measures
in regard to his incapacity and the sub
stitution Of a LOcuna teRenS until he can
again take the wheel; for with Congress
the matter rests entirely by the COnstitu
ton. Yours truly,

The flow Of Italian immigration to

The Land Bill in Its Final Shape.

The Irish land bill has at length been
passed by both Lords and Commons, and
a great step has been taken toward re-
medying the evils from which Ireland
has so long suffered. However, like
most compromise measures, it is wholly
satisfactory to nobody, and least of all,
perhaps, to those for whose benefit 1t is
intended. The fundamental principle of
the bill is the right of free sale, the Irish
land system being partly codlfieu and
partly rearranged in such way as to
give the tenant marketable property in
his holding. independent of any improve
ments which he himself may have made.
The other two Fs-i. e., the guarantees
of fair rent and fxity of tenure-are de-
duced from the right of free sale.
In the passage of the bill through Par
lament it has undergone notable altera-
tions; some of them being of cOnsdera'
BILE Importance One is that the com
mission of three may utilize the service
of the county courts; another that no
member of Parliament shall at the same
time be a member of the commission
charged with carrying the provisions OF
the bill into effect; third secures to
owners their game rights; fourth Sc
cures the landlord pay for the improve
ments he has made in case a holding is
sold; the fifth declares that deductions
shall be made from the receipts of sale
for deterioration of the landlords prop
erty
When the bill reached the Lords it
suffered numerous amendments, all of
which were set aside on its return to the
Commons, except the one which struck
out the provision to stay proceedings for
collection of debt from tenants. When
the bill was sent the second time to the
upper house the Lords exhibited great
firmness, striking out again the features
of the bill to which they had before object
ed, and exhibiting disposition which, if
persisted in, would have forced the re-
signation of Mr. Gladstone and his Cabi-
net. Much feeling in favor of the stand
taken by the Lords was now exhibited
in unexpected quarters, and it began to
seem not impossible that if the two par
ties went before the country in a general
election, the Conservatives would come
out victorious over the party at present
il power.
The immediate result of the Lords
frmness was a partial victory for the op
poncnts of the bill, as Mr.. Gladstone, on
the return of the bill to the House of
Commons, assented to three of the
Lords amendments-One authorizing an
appeal to the land court in the matter
of leases. another giving a landlord &C
cess to the land court when he failed to
come to an agreement with his tenant,
and the third striking out Mr.. ParnelPs
measure for staying proceedings of eject
ment when the land court has been asked
| by the tenant to fix fair rent. Upon
all points, however, touching the princi-
pies of the bill the government was I'M
yielding, and the concessions made to
the Lords will not impair its fitness for
being, in the language of Lord Salisbury,
''of great benefit to the tenants and not
of much harm to the landlords. The
bill will take effect within a few days,
as steps for securing the Queens assent
have already been taken.

Taxation for State purposes in Nevada
is ninety cents on the 500. This is the
largest State taxation in the Union, and
yet it fails to enable the State authorities
to meet current expenses, which are
over $4,000 month. The funded debt
is 1857 OH, on which interest is paid at
the rate of nine and half per cent per
annum. This is a wretched fiscal show
ing for such a sparsely peopled
State, yet big salaries are paid all the
State ohicials-far larger than California
pays.

Among other companies attacked was the
Connecticut Mutual. It is, perhaps, well
enough understood by; the,c community that
the Connecticut Mutual pays every honest

efieiares, and only per cent OF that sum has
