Laboring men of the East ask Congress to
protect them against the cheap labor of the
Hungarians. Their logic is identical with
that which was used with so much effect
against the Cinnamon. The Hungarians
are low and dirty. This was one of the ac-
cusations against the Cinnamon. They live
much cheaper than the American laborer
possibly can. This was one of the China
mans crimes. They work for less wages
than the American can afford to work for.
Precisely the same charge was made against
the Cinnamon. They have no intention of
becoming permanent residents of the United
States, but they carry back their accumuIa.
tions to their native country. This was one
of the complaints against the Chinese The
ease against the Hungarians has all the ele-
ments of strength which the case against the
Chinese had. How can the American Con-
gress then which excluded the Chinese con-
sistently refuse to exclude the Hungarlans?

A Queer Document.

Last evening the City Auditor presented
report concerning the condition of the ap
preparations. We do not mean by the word
inexact that it is incorrect as far as it goes,
but it is not precise and definite statement
giving the exact figures. We learn from il
however that five appropriations, namely
those for advertising, for contingent expens-
Ell, for cemeteries and public grounds, for the
fire department, for drains and sewers, and
for public buildings are exhausted. We
had understood before that this was the
fact. We learn further that "some few
bills' their amount not indieated) have not
yet been approved, being in excess of the
appropriation. Further than this we are
informed that "some other'' appropriations
are "closely drawn upon" What appro-
priatlons, and how closely they are drawn
apoH, are points the auditor did not see fit
b divulge to the City Council and to the
public.
He does venture to say, however, that ''if
due caution is exercised so that, if possible.
they be not exceeded, it is expected there
will be an undrawn surplus in the general
balance at the close of the financial year
sufficient to supply any necessary overdraft."
This is d sentence quite worthy of the
diplomatic Jack Bunsby. It's meaning is, if
1t means anything, that If so be that the ap-
propriations are not overdrawn, if that be
possible, why then it is expected that they
will not be overdrawn. Thank you Mr..
Auditor. We could have given the public
equally definite information without con-
sulting your books of account.
But the following sentence is quite as GU
rious as the one just quoted. "The contin-
gent and fire departments had unusual
drafts upon them by orders of Council and
otherwise, not contemplated in the estimat-
cd appropriation, thereby reducing the
amount usually had for the general balance,
and causing an oVerdraft in contingent of

The session of the British Parliament
which begins to-day is certain to be busy
and important one. The ministry have de-
sermined to introduce several radical meas
ares for the reform and extension of the
franchise, every one of which is certain to
encounter strong opposition from the Tories.
The policy of the government in Egypt will
have to be defended against the adverse
criticism which it is sure to meet with,
and the administration of affairs in Ireland
will still continue to be troublesome prob
lem. The Liberal majority has dwindled,
and there undoubtedly exists in the Liberal
ranks some difference of opinion in regard
to the wisdom of the governments franchise
measures. Mr.. Gladstone is likely, there
fore, to encounter more serious opposition
than he has met with since the present Par
lament came into existence.

The Liquor Dealers Association of New
York has sent letter to the author of the
high license bill suggesting that instead of
taking the recommendations Of ministers
and temperance advocates, it would be wiser
for him to consult men of long experience
In the liquor business. In that way the as
ssciaticn thinks, he would be able to frame
q law which would at once be equitable,
Just and practicable, and-the Association
might have added-thoroughly satisfactory
to the liquor dealers themselves.

There is good deal of opposition in Iowa
to the teaching of German in the public
schools and numerous petitions are being
sent to the legislature asking the abolition
Of that study. The chief complaint seems
to be that the results are entirely out of pro-
portion to the cost While 100000 are spent
annually on the study, the number of schol-
ars who learn enough German to be of any
value is Insignificant Perhaps a reforma-
tien OF methods would be better than the to-
tai abolition of a study which would seem
70 have much to recommend it, especially in
the West.

indeed" But we did not observe in the
Advertiser of last evening any certificate Of

TO the Argus. Neither did we see in it any
call for an official statement of the financial

says in substance that the numerous restora-
