exists, let him go TO the great sea
ports on the Atlantic coast and see
the hordes of emigrants from the
Old World that are daily landed
there. Then let him watch their
course. He will see the thrifty and
intelligent classes strike out for the
West to become producers, and in
time good citizens. But by far the
larger number-the ignorant, vici-
GUS and dangerous pauper clement
will remain in the large cities to prey
upon the industrious population, and
to vote the Democratic ticket as ear
ly and as often as possible. 1t is
beyond successful contradiction
that the Northern wing Of the De
mocracy is kept on a war-fo0ting by
recruits from the lower grades of
immigrants. American-born boys,
nurtured by respectable mothers and
educated in our public schools, i'm
bued almost from childhood with
knowledge Of the rights aud respon-
sibilities of good citizenship by con
slant contact with intelligent people,
do not, as a rule, vote the Democrat
ic tIcket--at least not in the North.
In the South, unfortunately, where
blind passion, bigotry and sectional
hatred still have unbridlod sway,
there is but one god, and he is of
Bourbon extraction. But even this
heavy handicap would soon be over
come if some practical plan Of shut
ting up the Democratic recruiting
Offices by barring out the ignorant
hordes of Europe could be devised.
For reasons why the Democratic
party should not exist can Old Sub
scriber" has only to call up from the
misty past its many deeds of treason
and violence. From the DAYS of
Calhoun down to those of Jeff Davis
and his legatees, Carlisle and Lamar,
the Democratic organization has
been in unceasing intrigue to des-
troy the Federal Government, bank
rupt the National treasury and Grip
pie American industries. States
rights and free trade are the leading
tenets of its political creed, and the
end for which it seeks Chicago

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
AsHISGToN, March so, 1888

v ASltlNGION, harCn 90, 1888.
The death of Chief Justice Waite
has added another and very i'm
portant issue to those which will be
decided 10y the Presidential election
this year. 1t is, in short, whether
the Supreme Court of the United
States shall be republican or demo
cratic. If it is to remain republican
it is absolutely necessary for the
republicans to elect the next Presi,
dent, rs he will in all human proba,
bility have the appointment of the
successors to three or more of the
republican Justices Of that Court,
two Of whom, Bradley and Miller,
are already well past the age st
which the Justices are eligible for
retirement, while one, Justice
Blatchford, is within two years Of
the retiring age.
The Court as it now stands has
six republican members and two
democratic, with one vacancy, sure
to be filed with a democrat. So it
is for the people of the United
States to decide whether Messrs.
Bradley, Miller and Blatchford shall
be succeeded by republicans, ensur-
ing construction Of the Coustitu-
ton and its amendments that will
not change the results of the war
and the legislation which followed
il, or whether they shall be succeed
ed by democrats, whose construction
Of the constitution and amendments
would be sure to differ widely from
those Of the Court for 25 years past.
Probably no question has ever
before been submitted to a vote Of
the people that has had more i'm
portant iuAueuoe on the history Of
the country thsn this one will have
in the near future.

AN UNFAIR QUESTION,

That ubiquitous person, AN
Old Subscriber" has been getting
one of the respectable Chicago news
papers into trouble again by his I'M
conauerable habit of asking embar-
RAISING questions. Being naturally
Of logical turn of mind, and uu-
able, after years of study and obser-
walton, to satisfactorily account for
the existence of the Democratic par.
ty, he applied to the Herald for in
formation. His query WAS based on
the philosophy of cause and effect.
Il was simply: "Wh hat benefits has
the Democratic party, as an organ
ization, conferred on the country?'
In this, of course, is implied the as
sertion that, as the party does exist,
il must have done something to war
rant its existence. To ask such
question Of Democratic organ, on
the eve Of Presidential election, is
eruel and unfair. 1t is not strange
that. under the circumstances, the
real issue was ignored in the reply
and an excuse for existence, rather
than a recital Of benefits conferred,
was made, The question was fran
ga In the wrong way for anything
but a negative answer, and 1t was
worse than cruel to torture a Demo
cratic organ with it. The fact Of
the matter is, the Democratic party
has never conferred any benefits up
en- the country, to justify its exist.
ence As political organization. II
owes its existence 10 other causes
than that of the survival Of the fl
test If"Au Old Subscriber wants
to know Why lie Democratic party
