~IMmIGRATION PROBLEMS.

There are indications Of a growing
tendency to put up the bars and hold the
United States more closely as the hertz
age of the people already in possession.
1t Is an incident Of growth. Instead of
having more spare land than we know
what TO do with, we are beginning to
touch the limits of our domain. Both
great political parties in the last Presi-
Dental campaign incorporated in their
platforms planks opposing the acquisition
of large tracts of land by aliens. The
Philadelphia Press suggests that the dis.
cussion Of the Chinese question by Con.
gress this session be accompanied by an
inquiry regarding the desirability of con.
tinuing our present liberal policy toward
immigrants of all nations; with the hint
that, although special objections are
urged against the Chinese, some reason
may be fond for shutting out objection.
able classes of other immigrants.
Admission to this country, remarks
the San Francisco Bulletin, is a favor to
be sought by aliens, not a right to be de-
manded. We have thrown open the
doors of our own free will to let them in.
Henceforth we may more and more ex.
ercise discretion about admitting immi.
grants. What shape that discretion may
assume is yet in doubt. 1t is certain
that more rigorous scrutiny will be OBJ
served regarding the character of immi.
grants and their power of self-sustination.
Guarantees may be demanded of ability
Of maintenance for a required period.
The criminals. the paupers, the ne'er.do-
wells, the "sick, lame and lazy may be
weeded out. AS population increases
and opportunities decrease, we shall de-
mand the best material as a surety
against the immigrant becoming a charge
upon the community.
As freedom of entrance into the coun.
try is curtailed, SO admission to the
privileges and advantages of citizenship
will be better defined. Alien landhold.
ing cannot long endure. For residents not
citizens. but who propose permanent set.
Element, some provision for the acquisi.
ton of real property. similar, perhaps.
to the rights of denizenship under En-.
glish law, will relieve them from my un.
due hardship.
Beyond some such conditions as above
indicated il is doubtful if any attempt
will be made to restrict the immigration
OF Caucasian races. So long as personally
Objectionable individuals of those races
are barred out. the problem of over.im-
migration will constantly tend to solve
itself. As our waste places begin to ell
up, opportunities will become fewer and
inducements less, resulting in the decline
Of immigration, until an approximate
equilibrium is established. New coun.
tries are also being opened to the over.
flow of European population, and by and
by South America, Africa and Oceanica
will take our place as the "refuge for the
oppressed"

A Mob of 1900.
DALLAS, Tex, Dec 19.-News was re-
ceived here at 1880 this morning from
Montgomery county that the greatest ex-
citement prevails there over the assem-
bling OF several hundred armed men, who
have determined to lynch a negro named
Jackson, who, a few days ago. murdered
the family OF Robert Smith, after having
robbed the house. The Sheriff has the
Jail guarded as securely as he had been
able, but il is believed the mob will over
come his force, as the men are congregat-
ing from all parts Of the country and by
daylight will probably number 1900.

Dolphin left her anchorage IN the Brook

A BRILLIANT MAN DEAD.

DR.. J. StaiRe DAVIS, OF the UniyersiO of NiT-
giuis, Brsathes His Lasi-liis Career.
Especial telegram 10 the DispStch.l
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, July IL.
DR.. John Stage Davis died at his resi-
deDco at the University this afternoon
at s O'Clock. Six weeks ago he sul-
fered stroke Of paralysis, and from
that time no hope of his recovery has
been entertained. His funeral will pro-
badly take place on Sunday.
A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
DR.. John Stage Davis was born in
Albemarle county October /, 1924. and
at an early age he entered the Uni
versity Of Virginia, where he distln-
guished himself as bright and pro
missing student, taking the degree of
Master Of Arts in $40, at the age Of
sixteen, and that Of Doctor Of Medi-
cine in lS4l. when seventeen. He con-
tinued the study of medicine in Phlla-
dolphin, where he was the contemporary
and friend Of Elisha Kent Kane, the
Arctic explorer. Returning to Nir-
ginia, he begun the practice of his pro-
fession is Jefferson county, but soon
removed 10 Charlottesville, and offer
ed his professional services to her
citizens. In lS45, at the age Of
twenty-one, he was elected demonstra-
tor Of anatomy at the University ul
Virginia. In lS49 he became " lee
turer and demonstration Of anatomy -;
in 1853, lecturer on anatomy and ma
terra medica. In 1856 he became pro-
.fesSOr Of anatomy, materia medica, and
botany, and excepting botany re-
manned in charge Of these branches
until his death.
DR.. Davis married tlS40 Miss
Blackford. Of Lynchburg, who died 10
1859. The present Mrs. Davis, to
whom he was married in 1865, was
Miss Caroline Hill. He leaves two
children by his first marriage-Dr. W,
II. Davis, surgeon in the United States
army, and Mrs. Professor j. p. Ilarri-
son, Of Danville and by the last two
sons--John s.; Jr,, and Robert--and one
daughter, Caroline.
DIR. Davis was generally conceded o
leading place among American lecturers
on anatomy and kindred subjects.
The faculty Of the University, at the
time Of DIR. Davis's entrance into it.
consisted of Professors Courtenay, W
Il. Rogers, K. +. Rogers, McGutiey
Howard, Csbell, Minor, and Schele ID
We're. OF these only DIR. Cabell snC
Professors Miner and Schele De Yer,
survive. Edward IL. Courtensy wa
chairman Of the faculty.
The death Of DIR. Davis recalls tn
tragic death of his father, John A. G
Davis, professor of law, and at tn
time chairman of the faculty Of tn
University. Early in the session o
ls40-'4l the students, wearing masks
engaged in cslathump. Professo
Davis, concealed behind pillar on Ess
Lawn, awaited the approach Of the com
u pany. When theleader was near enough
Professor Davis left his place of con
cealment and tried to unmask him, an
was shot down. The assailsnt was
young man named Simms, from south
ern State.

To the Editor of the Dispatch A.:

Please decide this question in your
valuable paper Suppose in an election
bulletin occur these words " Augusta
county, Va, gives 500 Democratic ma
lority-a Democratic gain OF 300"
Does that mean that there were 300
more Democratic ballots actually cast
than at the election before? or does it
merely mean that the Democratic ma
jority is 800 more than at the election
before? This is to decide a discussion.
INQUIRER.
Richmond, July II, 1885.
The phrase has the latter meaning.
Cameron received say 1000 majority
in Virginia in 1881. If this year Wise
receiyes'a majority 300 less in any
county than Cameron received in 1881,
the papers will set that down as a gain
of 300 for the Democratic candidate,
whether the total vote of the county be
greater or less than it was in 1881.
In other words, we have so much ma
iority to overcome in the whole State 4;
and therefore if the Republican candi-
dates majority in any county be 300
less this year than in 1881, the Demo-
Gratis will have overcome that much of
the total majority.

Yours truly, F. W. HENSON.
I'VE sent a man over to measure the
river at the point named. He was
drowned in the attempt. Another ex-
petition is being fitted out, and the
probabilities are that it will be able to
make the survey some time in August,
when natives say that the river will be
at its very lowest. Do not push us on
