EDITORS News: Is it right to pass
the action of the city council Of last
Tuesday evening without protest! Is
il legitimate for representative body
to sell public property in such q very
private manner? Is it right in the pub
lie TO wink ct such transactions? / de
not affirm that there was any intentional
wrong in the action of our city fathers
in selling Mr.. Eskridge the property in
question, but there was no need OF such
haste. 1t was not ct all likely that the
property in question would depreeists
in twenty-four hours. There 10 but one
legitimate way to sell public property
and that is to the highest bidder, due
notice Of such intended sale having
been given. This property was not
known to be for sale. Il was bought
for q special purpose. The offers of ex-
Governor Eskridge, Capt. Warren and
others should have been laid over under
the rules until some specified future time
and other bids advertised for. There
was no necessity Of suspendIng the rules
to rush through such . sale, and the
haste and irregularity Of the proceed
ingS would justify . veto. A suspicion
Of jobbery always and justly attaches to
such transactions, and the people should
protest, not 30 much against the sale
itself e. to the manner Of its accomplish,

Eskridge once chased the city council
and the county commissioners some dis
lance with an injunction On transaction
Of this nature, and it is rumOred that

.Ehs Use 81 Wealth.

There are Thousands of rich men WHIT
ere not skinhints, who have the rsputa
ton Of being 30, because they have nevel
been known to do any special good
with their money. A man who L
worth $4,000 can do more to make
himself loved and respected by all with
whom he comes into contact, by the ju'
dicious expenditure of . thousand dol
lars in charity, than by giving the whole
fifty thousand dollars after he il dead.
Il seems IS though it would Be mighty
small consolation to . millionaire "a
after death, and be % COMPOUNDED dead
that he couldn't zee the smiles of happi-
ness that his generosity had created.
Suppose millionaire who has never
had q kind word said Of him except by
fawning hypocrites,e who hope to get
some of his money, should lay out Q
beautiful park, worth . million dollaHs,
and throw it open free to ali, with walks,

Don't you suppose, If he took g drive
through it himself and saw Thousands Of
people h4vinga good time, and all look
ing their love and respect for him, that

Wouldn't every look of thanks Be

The Character OF OUR InnI.
AnRa
IN. Y. MerchantiIe Journal.l

IN. Y. Merchantiie JournaLl
A great change in the character of our
immigration has been marked of late
years. In the very eaTiieststimes Europe
had no better blood than she sent US.
Later on, however, there was more hber-
ty there, and the causes which had peo-
pied this country with HuguenOts and
Puritans, and classes of like character,
ceased in a great measure to operate,
and we received both leas principle and
less skill in proportion to the numbers
that came.
More of the poor and thriftless came
because they were starved out at home.
Laborers and hod. carriers came because
there was nothing for them to do in the
tauld country And they have been ex-
tremely useful. They have risin with
our rising fortune.
But recently our manufactures, and
the opening here for the sale of manufae-
tured goods, have attracted some of the
most skilled workmen of Europe. The
result is seen in the character of the goods
We produce. II is hardly necessary any
longer TO put upon our products foreign
marks to make them acceptable even to
the snobs who seek the reputation Of
s'buying only the best" On the contra
" we begin to hear of our friends over
the water initiating American trade
marks. All of this Is very satisfactory
to US, especially as the process seems now
| to be going on more rapidly than ever.
But naturally enough, it Is not SO sat
| isfactory to our friends abroad, as, for ex-
ample, witness the following from the
Yorkshire Manufacturer, in which it be-
walls the. situation there: "a depreciation
Of business property and land has evident
| " set in, and how to stay the downward
course of things is problem which ought
| to concern our Statesmen and rulers much
more than the petty quarrels and bicker-
| ings over trifies which nowadays occupy
| much of the time of Parliament in set
| Ting. A stream of immigration, broad
and deep, is flowing from this country to
the United States of America, and this
immigration movement has begun pre-
cisely at the wrong end.
Something must be wrong in the con
dition of q country when it can no longer
afford to retain its best hands and clever
est heads. As We have repeatedly OBJ
served, it would be no curse but probably
blessing if the lazy and incapable were
to leave the country. As it is, however
the case stands different from this. We
i are sending abroad to develop competi
ton against US in other countries the mos
intelligent, upright, Woodworking and
thrifty of our population, while the dronei
are left behind to swell the ranks Of pau
perism."
