Europe ought by all means to be assisted in
returning. Hence the decision of Secretary
Fairchild, that this can be done out of the head
money tax, is a judiciOus one. But if unable to
care for themselves they should not be permit
ted to land. There are steamship companies
that would be only too willing to bring such
persons here if there were a prospect of get
ting pay tor taking them back.
The Socialists in London are active and per-
sistent, and promise to give the Government a
good deal of trouble. The large number of
unemployed workmen affords reason for
Socialistic growth in that city not to be found
in New York. Some method of alaying the
discomfort will have to be devised sooner or
later by the English Government. Mere force
will not suffice. 1t would not be strange if in
hunting fo- solution partial abandonment
of the Free Trade theories should be decided
upon. There appears to be growing senti-
meut in that direction.
Russia's persistent efforts to overcome Bull
garan opposition to her designs do not seem
to meet with success. AT private meeting yes
terday of the deputies at TiruOva they resolved
to maintain the strongest opposition to conces-
sons to the Russian party. In the face OF this
feeling NJ. Zankoff, who for substantial and
negotiable rewards is seeking to put his
cOuntry under the Russian yoke, demanded
that the regents Government resign But it is
not likely to pay much attention to his de-
mands. The manly pluck of the people of Bull
garia is deserving of the highest admiration.
In seven years they have changed from nation
Of slaves, who could MT say their souls were
their own in the presence of Turk, to
nation ready to die for their rights.
Ohio is about to undertake an experiment
in the reformation of cOnvicts which will be
watched with interest An intermediate peniten-
tiary is being constructedi in which will be incaI-
cerated I" first-ter and . light -sentence" con.
yicts for whose reformation there is hope. The
evil of budding together in one common prison
all classes of convicts is generally admitted.
A short term of imprisonment among hardened
criminals often results in the complete wreck of
a man whose first step in crime might other
wise have been his last one. There is pro-
vision made in this State for boys who give
hope of reformation, but rot for men. In
making such provision Ohio is taking wise
step.
All reports agree that Mr.. Morrison's defeat |
was the result of fair and square contest on |
the question of free trade and protection. Here
tofore Mr. Morrison has been able partially to
eyade this issue, by bringing in the old cry
about the necessity for change in the Gov
ernment, aud other equally absurd campaign
platitudes. Under Democratic Administra-
lion he was no longer able to make use of this
.reun ent. Com PEELED fairly to meet the free
rsde issue he went under. The attempt of free |
raiders to obscure this fact by asserting that |
money was used to defeat him, is familiar
rick and only excites ridcule.
The latest election returns do not bring any
comfort to the Democrats. If they retain con-
lIol OF the House Of Representatives it will be
by small majority. The figures now stand
l55 Republicans, 165 Democrats, and repre-
sentatives of the Labor party. Not all of the
1876 Democrats are yet out of doubt, while
The election Of a Republican TO the seat for
which there was no choice in Rhode Island is
almost certain. Mr.. Car isle may get in, as the
election machinery In that district is in the
lands of the Democrats. IL will require, how
yer, the official count which begins to-day to
scide the matter. Indiana gives good Re-
ublican majority, while in New YORK the
