Harry A. Garfield, son of the late
President Garfield, returned from Eu-
rope yesterday on the North German
Lloyd steamship Trave. Among the
Trave's passengers were also Mrs. Mason
and her two daughters, who are just re-
turning from long sojourn in Bourne
mouth, whittier they went in 1886 to
seek health and pleasure. The arrival
of young Garfield and the Mason family

marriage soon to be solemnized at the
Garfield homestead in Mentor, o., be-
tween Harry Garfield and Miss Belle
Mason, and Miss Mollie Garfield, his
sister, and j. Stanley Brown. who was
secretary to the father of his prospective
bride.
For some time preparations for this
double event have been making. The
Garfelds and Masons are related, Mrs.
Garfield being a cousin to the late James
Mason. Both families have been on
terms of closest intimacy, and it was
the Mason family that received the
Garfields when the remains of the
martvred president We're taken to
Cleveland for burial. The children Of
both families grew up together, and
about year ago young Garfield and
the young lady were betrothed, but the
engagement has only been recently an
nounced.
In the summer of 1856. Mrs. Mason
and her daughter went to Europe TO re-
cuperate the health of Miss Belle After
completing his law studies at Columbia

the young lady began to convalesce.
She after the departure of the Car
fields OMNIBUS rumors were circulated
concerning their trip abroad, one story
being that Mrs. Garfield opposed her
daughters engagement to Dir. Brown,
and had taken her abroad with view of
breaking it off. These rumors, however,
We're denied by Mrs. Garfield when she
returned. and it was formally announced
that Miss Moilie would wed j. Stanley
Brown, and that Mrs. Garfield approved
the match. The double marriage will be

The inference is-and no other can DE
reached-that America gains little and
loses much by indiscriminate imnigra-
ton. The gain is in the census--the loss
is to laborers by competition and to the
country at large by such sums as these
alien wayfarers carry back with them to
Europe. Besides, the presence here OF
hundreds of thousands of ignorant and
undisciplined farmers, out of sympathy
with native ideas and institutions, must
lower the national tone, bring universal
suffrage into disesteem, and interrupt the
problems of civilization which Ameri-
cans are, with great patience and skill,
endeavoring to work out.

RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.

1t is not improper to ask congress if it
expects to pass any measure this session
for the restriction of immigration. When,
in November, the state of Illinois put TO
death several NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
with one exception, who had induced
crowd of men. mostly foreigners, TO
murder American officers of the law-it
appeared probable that long before this
time congress would take steps to check
the appalling immigration OF Europe's
basest elements to this country. as well
as TO arrest the importation of paupers
and stop the overcrowding of a con-
gested labor market. Several bills OF
varying merit have been introduced:
but everything halts and attends on the
fate OF tariff reform, while the repub-
lie continues to be the asylum and
of nations which despise il
for its good natured and stupid tolera-
ton of injury.

THE sRTFUL DODGERS.

The most telling point made by Demo-
cratic newspapers and campaign speak
ers four years ago among the laborlng
classes was that if that party were given
the reins of government for four years 1t
would so reform the civil service and
revolutionize matters and things gener-
ally that new era of prosperity would
dawn upon the land, and that every man
who wanted TO work should have just
suchs job as he desired. Well, that
party was given the ascendency. four
years are nearly gone and what do we
see: Instead OF everybody being at
work, in the one city of New York there
are said to be nearly seventy thousand
idle men who are unable to obtain en-
ployment of any kind at any price,
while throughout the country there are
more than million who are denied the
privilege of earning support for them
selves and their dependent ones, the
direct result largely of Democratic blum
dering in the administration of the gov
eminent and the threatening attitude of
congress in matters of legislation affect
ing the interests Of all, but more espe-
cially the laboring people, because such
policy has shaken public confidence in
the future stability of our mrrkets, con-
sequently checked production in the in
dustrial branches and thrown hundreds
of thousands of industriously inclined
people out of employment. These prom
ises and pledges, therefore, have been OBJ
served only in the breach, while the
specious plea is now sit up that the rob-
Der tariff has prevented their fulfillment.

HANDSOME WOMEN.

Lord Crossley, a British subject now
travelling in the land of the free, ven
tured the assertion yesterday toa Kansas
City Star reporter that ''the American
women are the handsomest in the world
and that before he had really crossed
the border of the land of handsome
women. American women are undoubt-
edly the handsomest in the world, and
Kansas women are the handsomest IN

a new state out of recessions from west
Tennessee. north Alabama and Mississ-

course the prime object of that locality is
to become the metropolis OF the new

posed in west Tennessee in 1861, but
that was meant to accommodate what
is known as the Purchase portion of
western Kentucky whose people were at
that time just dying to secede, and the
state wouldn't, or more properly couldn t
do it. But the movement was nipped in
