NATIONAL BEREAVEMENT.

The sad news of the death of Chief
Justice Waite, of the United States
Supreme Court, was announced as
having occurred on Friday morning,
March "a, at Washington, aged u. His
illness was brief and his end unexpect-
ed until short time before his death.
He was appointed to the Office of Chief
Justice from the state of Ohio by Presi-
dent Grant in 1875. The memory OF
Chief Justice Waite will be eulogised
by thousands of eloquent voices from
Maine to Mexico. In addition to the
sorrow occasioned by his death, there
is much anxiety in respect to conse-
Quences which may follow. President
Cleveland has filed one vacancy on
the bench of the highest judicial tri-
bunal in this country, by appointing
the most conspicuous ex-rebel--a bosom
friend of jeff Davis. There is posi-
bility of his appointing another of the
same stripe, being moved thereto by
the plausible plea Of bridging over the
chasm between the North and the
South. The South was pleased with
Cleveland's generosity in appointing a
man to fill the Supreme Court vacancy
who had taken the Confederate oath,
and who had exerted himself to the
best of his ability to destroy the Union
For this act of the President there
was hardly feeble protest of his
Northern supporters. While the
probability is, Cleveland will not graft
fy the South by placing another ex'
rebel on the judicial bench. yet if this
act was justi6able in the first instance,
it would be in another like case, be.
cause the principle would be the same

have the sympathy of all his friends in
his sad bereavement.

One Of the schemes which firm OF
Chicago sharpers are now working is as
follows: They send out an offer to
furnish life-size crayon portrait free to
any person who will agree to have the
same nicely framed to show to their
friends. The "free" picture comes
along accompanied by bill of SIS for a
frame which the receiver could have
purchased of the regular trade for IS,
and thus do the sharpers get SO profit
out Of the customer to whom they had
given free picture. Several of these
I" life-size portrait" circulars have been
received by citizens of Kenosha, but as
yet we have found none who could be
induced to nibble at the fattering bait.

A Washington correspondent of the

facts showing the winters of that city
are much colder than years ago. The
capital city is losing its reputation for
a winter residence, and those who once
enjoyed its mild winters are obliged to

winter climate. Where only light
spring oyercoats were sufficient for
comfort years ago, heavy overcoats. as
at the North, are now deemed indis-
pensable. Ladies' who were once clad

A CAUTION.

If it be true, as generally declared,
that there have been city administers
tons in some past years when the
license laws were not enforced by the
authorities, and drunkenness was com.
mon, then would it not be well fol-
every good citizen to see to it that such
lAwlessness shall not be repeated.

WISCONSIN A FOREIGN STATE.

WlOCONS1N "A FOHElCiN STATE.
People who were residents of Wis
consin when state government was
adopted, with a popul alton mostly
American. in 1S4S, probably did not
suspect that this would in so short a
time become state where the foreign
born inhabitants would Outnumber the
native Americans two to one. Yet &C.
cepting the estimated population by
nationalities. as given by Secretary
Timme, which was referred to last
week, such is the strange fact. The
population Of the state is estimated
ut 1.s9i, 72o, Of which number 600, 500
are native-born; or less than one-third !.
No state in the Union has 80 large a
proportion of foreign-born population
as this. 1t is surprising to notice how
rapidly foreign inhabitants have been
increasing on the native Americans
especially in all the large cities. New
York and Boston have for some time
past in population ceased to be Ameri-
can cities. The same is true of many
of the smaller cities, particularly in
the Northern states. In the Southern
states it has been different. Foreign
immigration has not been attracted in
that direction, but more generally to
the Northwestern states and terri.
tories With the flow of immigration
into the Northern states at the rate Of
the past two years, the American popu-
lation will soon be in the minority,
and, if the majority Oh Dose to exercise
the right of sovereignty, the people
from other lands will control the gov.
eminent. This need not necessarily
create alarm; 1t will depend on how
readily foreigners assimilate with
American ideas Of government and fol.
low in the lines Of policy which have
been marked out by the people of this
country. The best safeguard and pro-
lection against possible evils in these
