Enough Poor of Our Own.

The impudence with which England
carries on her barefaced attempt to
foist upon this country, the inmates of
her poor houses has at last aroused the
commissioners of emigration, and
through them the government, to some
thing approaching activity in the mat
ter. 1t has been decided that no more
assisted" emigrants will be received,
but will be returned to the place from
which they were shipped. This is just.
If England by long series of oppre-
sions has stocked her poor houses then
England is amply able to take care of
the inmates there collected. If she is
not then other countries will undoubt-
edly, upon application, start chart
table fund to assist her in doing so.
But until that time arrives it is due to
that charity which begins at home, for
this country TO emphatically refuse to
be made receiving ship for England's
wards. While this republic is open to
unlimited emigration of the proper
kind it can never have any use for these
unfortunate victims of foreign greed.
1t is enough that the country is taxed
for the support of its own poor without
having added taxes heaped up to sup
port those who properly belong in other
quarters. Under the circumstances the
government will do well to draw The
lines sharply and keep careful lookout
to see that the tide does not sweep over

Saving His Fig.

Mr.. Dorsey postpones his congenial
task of destroying the Republican party
until he recuperates his wasted energies
ON his New Mexico ranch. Perhaps he
wishes to reassure himself as to whether
his wonderfully improved eye-sight
which has taken such sudden change
for the better, is really permanent re-
covery. Still it is rather cruel of Mr..
Dorsey TO keep the Republican party,
liguratively speaking, impaled on the
ragged edge of a terrible denounment;
living as it were on the top of n powder
magazine. There is but one saving
clause; that possibly the powder may
be but mere sprinkle over a bed of
onion seed. On this superstition Mr..
Dorsey conduct loses its cruelty and as
sumes the form of long-headed wisdom.
Any small boy is well aware that lizz

gives birth Shrewd Dorsey, he is saw

Think Quietly.

There is food for thought which might
be assimilated with advantage by those
political prophets, who are perfectly
certain they can call the turn of the
cards on future political deals, in re-
cent interview had with Henry Waiter
son, of the Louisville Courier-Journal.
An enterprising journalist was endeav-
oring to bring Watterson to prophecy
ing point on the question of what Til
denis friends would do in the future.
The Kentucky editor summed the
whole matter up in nutshell when he
said "no one can tell what will be done
in 1884, and speculation on that point
is worse than idle" 1t is not only
worse than idle, but is absolutely per-
nicious. The more the American people
endeavor to escape from politics the
more the politicians strive to hold their
noses to the grindstone. The more the
troubled waters show an inclination to
settle the more they stir the pool. If
the people would simply do not little,
but a great deal of quiet thinking, Civ
ing the wise-acres the go-by, and then.
after making up their minds, carry their
wishes into practice through the nomin-
ating conventions. when the proper
time comes, much trouble would be
saved and many mistakes averted.

Stung for Shuah.

There was a lively bee-hiving out al
Judge Ogdom's place the other day,
Judge Ogdom had charged Mr.. Rob.
erts, the oyerseer, to watch the bees
and let no swarms get away The
other day the bees swarmed and pitched
in funnel-shaped mass ten feet away
from the ground on tree. Roberts
played upon them with huge syringe
from q bucket of water, and having
effectually. as he supposed, put out the
incipient flame that turks in their tails,
prepared to gather them into his gar.

darkey named Phil, who is nearly

Mr.. Roberts. 81 want you to hold the
bee gum up under the bunch of bees

in" And without ceremony or any
unnecessary delay he seized Phil and
placing him directly under the bees,
put the bee gum on top of his head,
and directed him to stand fast. Broom
in hand, Mr.. Roberts then ran up the
tree with the nimbleness of cat OF

sweep them off, letting them fall in
Jumps into the open box on the negro $
head below. Sometimes wad of bees
would miss the hole and strike Phil on
the shoulder, which made him restless.

I'll soon have them all in! Who cares

Just then an old liner-a king bee

shirt and Phil became still more I'M

words from above. Suddenly, however

that was disturbing them. and about
forty business fellows popped Mr.
Roberts simultaneously, and he dropped
his broom, lost his hold and came down
with crash upon the negro and box.
With a whoop and a wild screech Phil
got upon his feet and lit out, followed
by cloud of bees. He forgot his

Prompt Work.

The gentlemanly paymaster, Major
WATSON. who engulfed five thousand
dollars of the government funds, in the
yawning gap that turks beneath the en-.
ticing game of poker, has been SEN
fenced, by court-martial, to eighteen
months imprisonment at hard labor. in
the Kansas state penitentiary. In add.
ton, the crime, punishment and name
OF the disgraced official, are to be pub.
lished in the papers of the state from
which he came-Iowa-and the state in
which the crime was committed Texas.
There are those people. who, in view OF
the thorough and speedy work of court
martials, will wish that this class of tri.
ais for criminals were more numerous.
The promptness with which stern and
inflexible justice metes out punishment
In these military courts, is refreshing
contrast to the slow, dilatory slackness
that characterizes the ordinary criminal
courts of the country. In the former,
there is no jury for sharp lawyers to be-
fog, no travelling back and forth on the
same line of testimony for weeks, no
appeal to the feelings, nothing in fact
of the ways of the civil courts, but on
the contrary machine-like promptness
and push that brings case to an end
almost before slow-moving people would
know it had begun. The civil code
might, with much benefit to ITSELF take
pattern from the military.

Well Started.

The Iowa Republicans after q most
harmonious convention, renominated
Gov. Sherman, Lieut.. Governor Man
ming and Superintendent of Public In
struction Linn, all by reclamation. On
the question of supreme court Judge
there was division which resulted in
the nomination of Judge Reed, of
Council Bluffs, on the first formal ballot.
The platform is a square, honest de-
claration of principles, on which the
Iowa Republicans can stand solidly,
while fighting the battles of the coming
campaign. 1t is bottomed on the I'M
answerable principle that the rights of
the people must be respected and that
majorities must rule. With so good a
start the Republicans in the Hawkeye
state ought to be heard from with big
majority next fall.
