The people of London. England, propose
Ia establish a great central railway station.
AT the corner of Oxford Street and T"ttru-
ham Court Road for the accommodation of
their five million local population and the
million peuplr who arrive in and leave Lon
don every week day. An architect estimates
that each of the several roads would have
to build from 100 tn 4SO rods of track To
get into this station. When this enterprise
is carried out perhaps New York. Philadrl-
phia. Chicago. Cincinnati and Springfield
will in time follow Innd"n's example.

Immigrants We Do Not Want.

According to the census Of 1880,
the number of our insane born in the
Union was 1864, or one to every
662 of our entire native population.
while the number of foreign birth was
26,346, or one to every 254 of the for
eign population. In the State Of New
York there were 1870 insane natives
or one to every 497 of the native pop
ulation, and 1921 foreign-born in.

being one native pauper to every 176

The sun crossed the equator last
Saturday, being on his way to the
northern hemisphere to have bat
tie with winter. The event, at this
city, was celebrated by one of the
meancst storms of the season. Every
body was Disguised, and well they
might be. The winter SHOWS had most
ly gone; sleighs had given way to
wagons; sidewalks and streets we're
coming into view; the ice in the
river was wearing away nobly, and
the bay was shedding its wintry COW
ering of ice. Nearly every one had
come to the conclusion that winter was
over. Citizens began to talk of steam
boats coming. Lumber boys discuss
ed the prospects of drive. Many
If the lumber camps had broken up
and the crowds of men in town made
the city lively. The Golden Eagle
fired up, ready to clear for Black
River as soon as the wind blew the
ice out of the bay. Everybody ap-
peared well satisfied with the winter
as far as experienced, and everybody
hoped for good spring. The racket
commenced Friday night, summer
opening up with a fine display of
thunder and lightning, and OIL Satur.
day night celebrated the crossing of
the equator by the sun. with tenn.
pestuous rain and wind storm. The
wind howled in regular gale fashion,
and the rain fell in torrents. Winter
then got mad. He declined to be
kicked out of Alpena county in so
unceremonious a manner. He did
not give continental for the sun
crossing the line. He had an en-
gagement with several lumbermen
who had large amounts of logs on
the skids, and he was determined to
remain in Alpena during March or
hurst. Before Sunday morning he
held the four aces of the weather
pack and had several more in his
sleeves. The rain was turned to
snow and this snow continued to fall
all day Sunday and Sunday night
md by Monday morning enough
snow had fallen on the ground to
average foot in depth. In some
places snow was piled on the sidewalks
as high as the fences.
More snow fell Monday. On Sec
md street some Of the business blocks
had their usual snow embankments
drifted in front, and some of those
drifts were at least four feet high.
Yesterday the weather changed and
became very pleasant. The sun shone
brightly and Mr.. Thaw began his work
at melting the snow. The u. S.
weather Office at this city reports the
fall of snow and rain to be nearly
equal to inches of rain on level.

We do not know whether the AR
GUS could survive another such BOOM
erangish attack as was perpetrated by
the Pioneer last week. 1t denies that
the Senate demanded of President
Cleveland his reasons for dismissing
sundry Republican officials, but, in
stead, demanded of subordinate Off
Ger the reasons why his chief perform
ed his lawful duties.
1t thus seems that the Senate,
which is supposed to contain among
its members the condensed wisdom of
the nation, did not have courage to
demand of President Cleveland his
reasons for removing District Attor-
ney Duskin, but had to sneak to the
office of subordinate in order to prv
into business that they had no lawful
right, as legislators, to have anything
to do with. Very hattering to the
Senate.
Then, again, the Pioneer tells Us
the law forbids the President from re-
moving a Judge of the United States,
and that in removing the district at
torney, he violated the law. What
puzzles us is how a person holding an
Office of district attorney. came to be
classified as a Judge, and the only
way we can account for it is the GUS
tom of the Southern people of calling
almost every man either a General,
Colonel or Judge.
The man Duskin was appointed
district attorney of district in the
Southern States, by Republican
President, in 1881, but the Senate
refused to confirm him, his reputation
not being first class. He was reap
pointed, and at the next session of
the Senate enough of the members
were induced to confirm him.
Senator Beck, at session of the
Senate, held on March 18th, said "the
records of an investigation held in
the House of Representatives, show
he (Duskin) was an utterly unfit
man," and also stated "Duskin was
known to me, and is known to me. as
an unfit man for the place he occu.
pied" Senator Beck also desired to
have the discussion made in secret
sessions Of the Senate in 1881. in re-
gard to said Duskin, made public.
but the Republican Senators objected.
In removing said District Attorney,
the President exercised not only his
lawful powers, but did so because the
u. S. service would be improved
thereby.

other countries. 1t is true that in
1882 an act was passed requiring an
examination into the condition Of for
eign passengers arriving at our ports,
and the return, at the expense of the
vessels bringing them. of convicts,
lunatics, and other persons unable to
take care Of themselves, and who are
likely to become a charge upon the
public. But, as matter Of fact, few
are so discovered and returned, and
probably only small part of those
against whom the law was directed,
for the statistics of penal and chart
table institutions show that the pro-
portion Of foreign-born inmates is
rapidly increasing.
The reason for this is that the law
cannot be properly enforced with the
present number of examiners. DIR.
Hallock said, for instance, in the de-
bate on the report, that he was exam
ing physician for one year at Castle
Garden, and during that time 226,00
persons passed under his hands. Of
course he was unable to scrutinize
thoroughly SO great q number and to
find out their physical and mental
condition or their capacity to take
care of themselves. The insane, es-
pecially, are oftentimes very hard to
detect, and the families and communi-
ties who ship lunatics to us, knowing
our law, would take pains to send on
ly those whose infirmity was not too
apparent.
DIR. Hoyt, therefore, made the sug-
gestion and it is one well worth heed
ing, that our consuls and commercial
agents abroad be charged with the
duty ofexamining intending emigrants
and giving certificates to those lit to
he received. AS one of the confer
ence remarked. the majority of these
officers have not too much to do, and,
indeed, many of them are at a loss
how to kill time, SO that the new duty
imposed on them would not be bur-
densomo. Besides they must know,
or they ought to be able to find out,
more about the antecedents of those
to emigrate than an ex-
aminer here can discover.
The evil is serious, and we shall be
getting more and more of these crimi-
nails and incapablcs unless we take
efficient means to keep them out, since
the tendency is for the strong to emf
CRATE first and for the weak to come
later. Our public and private pro-
visions for charitable support also en-
such immigration, and Of
hose immigrants who come hither
rom Italy and from Canada, for in
tance. with the intention of remain
ng only until they have secured a
with which to return, the
criminal, the disabled, and the lazy
ire left on our hands.-N. Y. Sun.
