A PETITION has been presented to the
House from Milwaukee asking for the pro-
hibition of the Irish immigration by bill
framed on the same lines as the Chinese
Bill. The objections to the Irish immigra-
!. ton seem to be very similar in character to
those urged against that of the Chinese with
this additional one, that the Irish owe allie
glance to foreign Pope.

HOW rnE1I1eRATH BECAME A DEMOCRAT.

[aFerdinand Freiti grath," by w. Buchner.]
When came into th . anteroom and salon

of gold-laced, be-starre 4 gentlemen, and saw
that they squinted across at me, wondering
who could be. knew one and the other of
them; my name was mentioned, but no one
spoke with me, and I pressed myself into
corner. Then the archduke, walking along
the rows, came up and talked some time with
me. Hardly had he gone when everyone OF
the vermin crowded up to me, greeted me, and
remembered me. On that evening and from
that hour was q Democrat.

THAT this is not the only Republic in
which the citizens fail to visit the polls when
there is no choice to be made in which they
are particularly interested is shown by what
took place in the recent municipal elections
in France. 1t is reported that at Lyons,
Marseilles and Rouen scarcely one-tenth OF
the registered electors cast their ballots,
while the incredible statement is made that
at Toulouse not single vote was recorded.
That does not look well for the permanence
of Republican institutions in France. Ifthc
French do not care to take the pains 10 gov
ern themselves, it will not be a great while
before some one relieves them of the trouble.
THE British steamships, which monopo-
lie so large share of the foreign trade of
the United States, do not flourish so well in
the Mediterranean. The Greeks and Ital-
ians, with their soft wood ships, OF small
cost and cheaply navigated, compete success
fully with the steam tonnage and obtain
large percentage of the carrying trade OF that
ocean. The ships are short-liyed, but they
are inexpensive in the outset, and as an Ital-
ian sailor can be fed at half the cost of an
English sailor and is paid less, the loss OF a
ship now and then does not make very
great deficiency in the credit side of the
ledger

AS RESULT of the admonition in yes
serday's REPUBLICAN there was quorum
of Republicans, Independents, and Lib
erals in the House yesterday, and the
case of Smalls against Tillman was dis
posed of by the seating of the contestant,
Smalls. This was just and righteous
decision, and the man who has for seven
months waited to secure his seat in the
body to which he was honestly elected
will now participate in the deliberations
of the House. To-day the case of Smith
VS.. Shelley will be brought up, and
the action should be prompt and en-
phatic Although unfortunately the con-
testant Smith has died, that fact should
not change the decision. His claims
were as strong as were ever submitted
by contestant, and Shelley should at
once be ousted from seat to which he
was never honestly elected. There
should be the same watchfulness on the
part of those opposed to Bourbon Dem
ocracy as there has been for the past
two days, and every seat should be
occupied,

Our Liberal Allies in the South.

The monotonous wrangle of forty years
as to what. should be the status of the
negro on this continent, which our white
ancestors decided should be his home
carrying two generations Of the American
people through absorbing and exhausting
conflicts between sections and systems
this wrangle between the philanthropists,
whose predecessors had for economical
reasons retired from the slavery business,
and the worldly, who, for similar reasons,
continued in that business, seems really
y drawing to a close. That man will be
either slave or free is fact which was as
true in 1865, when slavery was made un-
constitutional, as it is to-day when
ex-slaveholders and confederates are
joining hands with ex-slaves to
overthrow the mole-blind Bourbonism
which thinks to qualify Freedom perma-
nently by political tricks. AS soon as the
learned men of the South shall become
wise, and the upper classes as gentle as
they claim to be, they will abandon the
idea of maintaining political system by
coarse and vulgar rufiianism, fraud, and
perjury. They will accept the inevitable,
and seek to win to their own way of
thinking in public affairs the majority,
which they cannot obliterate, or perma-
nently suppress, or circumvent by Grim
inal agencies at the ballot-boX. We be-
lieve the coming campaign can be made
to go far toward emancipating Southern
society from the turmoil of the negro
question.
The blacks will cease to be disturbing
political element as soon as it is conceded
that they are part of the voting popu-
lation, and not before. If negro suffrage
Is an evil by reason of the existence of
ignorance among the negroes, then it is
only ignorant suffrage without regard to
color that is the evil and to that the
remedy of education must be energet-
ically applied. White suffrage has some
stains too, such as professional ballOt-boX
manipulators, bulldozers, and other Grim
inals For these evils should be applied
generous doses of the penitentiary by
the courts, instead Of one-dollar fine
and subsequent social equality with the
judge.
The Democratic party, as at present
organized, has but one policy it can pur-
sue, and that is to endeavor TO rule in
the Nation through crime, which must
ever be the sole passport Of the minority
to power in government Of the people.
If the negro votes, and has his vote
counted, the Democratic party has no
more chance TO control Congress or elect
an Executive than the Mormons have TO
make theirs the established religion in
the United States.

managers, in determination to rule with

An Independent Democrat Of South Carolina,
one who is fighting the Bourbons with much vigor
in that State says in recent letter: at is enough
to make the bones of our peerless John G, Calhoun
rattle in their coffin, when Congress permits two
South Carolinans TO hold seats who owed their
elections TO tissue ballols Understand me, do
not sympathize with Lee aud Smulls politically,
but MS n matter of simple Justice they should be
admitted TO the seats which they have been
robbed of unless the Constitutional amendments
are as sounding brass, &c
"MOtCoyer, II would tnculcate moral lesson
on our Young men could they behold vice re.
buked, for they know how tissue ballots and
frauds were resorted TO, and IL would elevate
their morals to see Justice at last done. Those
men IN Congress who encourage the use of tissue
ballots IN our State by allowing the tissue ballot
Creatures 10 hold seats in that body are the worst
enemies to our young men, who cannot be too
soon rescued fom the degradation to which they
are being dragged"

AMONG the members of the Committee
on Elections in the House none have
been more earnest and indie fatigable
in their endeavors to arrive at Il knowl-
edge of all the facts surrounding each
case than Hon. S. IL. Miller, the member
from Pennsylvania, whose speech yes
terday in the case of Smalls VS. Tillman
showed how thoroughly he had made
himself acquainted with every detail
of the case. His showing of the frauds
committed by the Bourbon Democrats by
which the contestant Smalls had been so
long deprived of the seat to which he was
honestly and fairly elected by majority
of the voters in his district was clear, en-
phatic, and complete, and his eloquent
appeal in behalf Of Smalls had its proper
weight upon his fellow members. Had
all the members of the Elections Com
mittee been as diligent, as hard working,
and as earnest as Mr.. Miller the cases
would probably have been disposed Of
ere this.

THE passage by the House of Repre-
sentatives of the bill to increase the
letter carriers pay is a source of much
qualification. This was one of the first
bills which the Committee on Post-Offices
and Post-Roads of the House passed
favorably upon at the early part of the
session, but owing to the vast amount of
business and circumstances which oc-
Cured from time to time the committee
were unable to have the call until Mon
day, and the large majority vote which
was given it shows how unanimous the
sympathy was with this just measure
1t should be acted upon promptly by the
Senate in order to become law. The
session from now to adjournment will be
brief, and it is to be hoped that the
Post-OfIice and Post-Roads Commit
tee of the Senate will bring it be-
fore that body for its consideration at
the earliest possible moment. Should it
become a law, the auxiliary carriers now
receiving four hundred dollars will re-
ceive six hundred dollars per annum,
which is little enough, and promotions
in the future will occur at the expiration
of one years service, which certainly is
n sufficient length of time to test the
efficiency Of u carrier.

THE SITUATION IN MISSOURI.
How RourbOn uisruie Can be Ended in
That State-Iutercsting Facts.

The remarks made in these columns relative to
the political condition of Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Arkansas, and other Southern States, apply
with equal force to the condition in Missouri. In
the latter State the Republican party in 1878 was
showed under Bourbon majority Of about
10000 In 1880 the BOURBON majority over the
hackers was less than $4,000. The result of the
election of1sSO was such as to inspire many with
the idea that in a very short time the State would
have nocked iuto the State, while many who
have heretofore acted with the BOurbons nre
breaking loose from party dtctatton, and 1t is
clearly within the possibilities and probabilities
that the election this fall may show that the
Bourbons are In minority in the State. The
municipal elections this year give promise of
decided change, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph,
and nearly every city i'll the State electlng Repub

His fine legal talents eminently fit him

is spotle,s and If we may judge from the ex-

State. Judge RCe's course in Congress has com.
mended him to the favorable consideration of all
fair minded men, and we suggest to opponents of
