platform has to say on this subject. This
is a plank from the party creed which
Garfield accepted and upon which he
was elected
"Sixth. Since the authority to regulate
immigration and intercourse between the
United States and foreign nations rests
with Congress-, OF with the United States
and its treaty making power, the Republi
can party, regarding The unrestrtcfsd enat-
gration Of Chinese az an erI Of great mag
aitudc, invokes the exercise of those pow
ers to restrain and limi: that immigration
by the enactment of such just, humane
and reasonable provisions as will produce
that result"
WHEN the editor of the Eraminer gets
after an esteemed contemporary with a
"red-hot" poker, he should see to it that
his poker is not "red-hot' at both ends.
ACCORDING to the Examiner, ''life is too
short for the country to mediate over tho
blue books of the Revelation" Accord
ing to the New Era, life is too short to
have it forgotten that the senatorial
" wages of iniquity' in 1861 were 5000.
The most cosmopolitan place III the
world is Crystal Palace, near London.
One day the vast glass dome resounds
with cat or baby show, while on the
next the highest scientific talent of the
universe is met there in some grave con-
clave. At present an exhibition which is
about half way between these extremes
not being devoid Of popular interest and
yet of great scientific cimportance-isb being
held. This is the display of submarine
electrical apparatus.
DESPITE the tariff, We last year import
ed $113, All ,GO3 worth of wOolens. cotton,
silk and flax goods against $l2,OOO,0GO
OF cotton exported. A protection journal
advises our manufacturers to protect
themselves by making cotton goods, for
instance as fine as the best English, and
not TO flood the country with lower grades.
"That they do not do SO shows that pro-
lection may give people the chance to pros
Pper, but cannot give them wit to make
the full use of their opportunity"
The same man who thought it mon-
strous that tho New York collector should
be appointed without the approval of the
New York senators, now himself appoints
the Boston collector in direct opposition to
and defiance of tho Massachusetts, sena
tors.-N. Y. Tribune.
And the same New York Tribune and
Massachusetts senators who ' thought it
mc3strous " to- question Garfield's ex-
ccutive prerogative" to appoint the New
York collector in direct opposition to and
defiance Of the New York senators now
find fault with Arthur for doing that same
thing in Boston. How differently they
construe the law when their OK is gored
The spread Of the gospel among the
heather is attended with difficulties that
| arc often highly ludicrOus, and before the
missionaries fully acquire the language of
| their audiences even a wrong acccntuatioh
will betray them into the broadest errors.
The missionary that tried to tell the Hin
doostance that "In my Fathers house
there are many mausions,' informed them
that "In my Fathers house there is much
butter" And a most learned minister
had translated the first line Of the hymn
80, for 4 thousand tongues to sing" in
| this wise, so, for thousand sausages.' -
THE New York Independeat editorially
| concurs with Senator Hale in tho opinion
| that Dakota should, before being admitted
into the Union, clean up her record in
respect to these Yankton county bonds.
"We would not admit Utah into tho Union
until pclygamy in that territory is disposed
of and, for an equally weighty reason,
we would not admit Dakota Or any part OF
it into the Union as a state until the terri
tory shall clear its skirts Of all compile
ity with the robbery Of reputation. AS
matters now stand it is party to this rob
berry. 1t has lesislated for it's success and
has hitherto made it successful. Let the
people stay out of tho Union until they
can come into it without the stain Of re-
pudiation upon their garments. The
United States ought in this way to rcbuke
the infamy."
AT the present rato Of reducing the
national deht-some sixteen million dol
lars a month-without even making al
lowance for the progressive diminution OF
interest-charge, ten years would see the
last of the bonds paid, if all of them were
payable. The amount within reach is
named in the April 1st statemcut rs $1O9,
901 900 Of continued six per cents, and
si01, 500, 900 of continued fivcs. Adding
to these the debt Oh which interest has
! ceased, We have total Of $511, 404 900
At the present rate Of payment, the time
required to extinguisa this would be be
tween three and three and half years,
after which no other bonds would fall
payable until September, 1891. Thus for
six years the people would be bearing tax
burdens with no occasion to raise money,
The american suggests that its party
make an issue of the distribution of the
surplus among the states. Better reduce
the taxes, internal aud custom house.
This generation has paid moro than it,
share Of the national debt
