Senator Logan will remain at the Hot Springs of
Arkansas until May |, not only for the purpose
of recovering his health, but to evade the pressure
of Washington ofice-seekers. Lumbago and sci
atica, "reminiscences of his army life, are the
troubles from which he suffers.
Little or nothing is known of the son of Banqui,
the late noted Socialist, though doubtless by this
time the young fellow knows how to read. His
father was in his youth overpowered by the
strictly classical education given him that he vowed
his child should not learn To read-a resolution
which he kept for many years. saying the boy would
be happier so.

suming- enormous proportions and there can DO
ttledoubt that the total number of
will reach round million at least. Not only are they
coming in at this port in unusually large numbers
but they are pouring in at all other ports. At Phia-
delphia, Baltimore and other chief ports of entry
the arrivals are more numerous than last
year. The Western railways are blocked with
two tides, one coming down the o.
Lawrence from Canada, and the other from the
Atlantic ports, and both heading for the unsettled
regions of the great Northwest and Manitoba AT
Portland recently steamer brought In lO0O I'M
migrants bound for Manitoba, and G,O00 more are

Nearly all the corners are well-todo, sturdy people,
who have always worked for living and always
expect 10. Many of them have a snug little sum OF
money with them. An English farmer changed
British gold into American money amounting 10
over $1,000 at the money Office in Castle Garden
recently. Still there are people who think tins

phases of license. local option. ETC., under DIS
cussion. Into the merits of none OF them do
we propose at this time to enter We desire
simply to point out that the agitation is usually
at the expense of the majority party, and that
the Democrats, knowing this, are very glad to
promote it at this time, in the hope, not that
the cause of temperance will be the gamer,
but that they through Republican dissenson,
may arrive at power In view of these facts
it seems to us worth while for Republican
Prohibitionists to remember that whatever
their cause has gained in twenty-five years
they owe to Republicans, and that intemper-
ate advocacy of extreme measures at this time
ia liable TO result in more advantage to the
cause of Free Rum than of Prohibition.

offices of the State, and the majority which IL
secured at last falls election in both the Senate
and the Assembly left it in possession OF an
opportunity which it had not enjoyed since
1870. In ceasing, when 1882 opened to be the
minority in the Legislature, 1t came into pos
session of grave responsibilities, which, rightly
used, would not only have redounded TO the
advantage of the State, but in so doing, would
have enabled it to enter the coming campaign
much stronger than it was year ago.
But, if Democracy's Mark Tapley please, the
majority in the Legislature has made SNIP
wreck of the party's golden opportunity, has
greatly damaged instead Of greatly improving
the party's prospects. The Buffalo Courier, the
leading organ of Democracy in the western
part of the State, remarked, day or two
since, that it would be necessary this fall not
only to nominate strong man for Governor
but to place him upon strong platform. VI

material for strong platform. What has 1t

can point to with pride' The deadlock

that loom up when the career of the majority
in the present Legislature is referred to. They
are interesting things-fragrant things, per-
haps-but it would be clearly impossible to
work them into platform without turning
it into an effective campaign document for
the Republicans.
And because party, no matter how excru-
ciatingly lovely its platform, must necessarily
run not so much upon that as upon the record 1t
has made in the sight of the people, we can
not but wonder if Democracy's Mark Tapley
manages to keep jolly as he looks at the mess
which his brethren have made of it in the
Legislature, and thinks of the canvass which
is so soon to open. IF he does manage to,

the duty of prescribing method for the cleo

ton. which should include and secure TO the
" several Congressional Districts the right to

4 FINE OPENING FOR A TAPLEY.

If the Democracy of this State happen to
include a Mark Tapley in their membership
his efforts to be jolly these days as he reflects
upon the immediate future of the party must
draw upon all his reserves of hope and pluck.
An important general election is just ahead.
Next fall a Governor is to he elected who will
have the appointment, not to take account of
minor positions, of Superintendent of the
Bank Department, a Superintendent of the In
surance Department, a Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, and-unless the Office is abolished
by the present Legislature-an Auditor of the
Canal Department. In addition, Lieu
tenant Governor and fresh Assembly are TO be
chosen in November. 1t thus appears
that there has been special reason why the
Democratic party ought to have been on its
best behavior in this State this year. We say
this year because it was not until January came
in and the Legislature opened that its last good
chance afilrmatively to reestabish itself in the
confidence of the people began. 1t is several
years since 1t controlled the leading executive

There is much in the political situation at the
South to warrant the conviction that Bourbonism
will never pay another dividend to the stock
holders.
The monster petition against any prohibition
whatever of Chinese immigration which the bnsi-
ness men of this city sent to Washington on
Wednesday shows that public sentiment on this
important subject is taking shape. 1t signed by
all the banks in the Clearing House Association. and
by an overwhelming majority of the members of all
the more important branches of business. All the
signers were moved by common belief that the
passage of bill prohibiting immigration would
ruin our commerce with China by giving
that nation cause to discriminate against
us. They may be exaggerating the danger Of al
effect of that kind; but whether they are not
the point is one which should receive the most
full consideration. 1t seems never to occur TO the
Democratic statesmen that any phase OF the sub

nese. they care nothing about consequences And
vet these same statesmen are never able to under
