RICHARD II. SYLVESTER. .. Editor
WASHINGTON, AUGUST 9, 1888.

TIE EVIDENCE THUS FAR taken by the
Congressional immigration Committee
makes it very plain, though no doubt
existed in regard to it before, that there
has been for some years systematic
Importation of foreign labor-of men
wholly ignorant of the country, or of its
social or political institutions, but who
were willing to work in coal mines and
elsewhere at wages on which the average
American would be unable TO subsist
with any degree of comfort or decency.
1t is this system more than any other
which has brought to our shores an
element of population not to be desired,
and in direct competition with the ma
tive workingman. 1t has encouraged
the influx of classes who arc
out of place in free Govern
ment, little above the beasts of
the field in intelligence and altogether
unable to assimilate with either our own
people or those of foreign birth who
come to this country in good faith to be-
come useful and permanent citizens.
The evil has been dealt with to some ex-
tent but not with the vigorous effective
ness that it requires. The importation
of contract labor must cease. Not only
the workingmen of the United States
but the general public demand it with
reason and justice, and the whole power
Of the Government should be called
into requisition, if necessary, to enforce
its inhibitory legislation.

The Washington critic., 1888-08-09

The WAY TO ENJOY good health this
blistering weather is to forego the use of
''hot and rebellious' liquors; be very
moderate in the use of meats; protect the
person from the direct rays of the sun by
an umbrella, or carry moist handker-
chief in the top of the hat; don't get ex-
cited over politics, baseball or regattas;
don't continuously harp about the hot
weather; keep your mind serene in spite
of all discomforts. The brain acts as q
refrigerator for the body. If you keep
your head level, cool and free from
worries, and read THE CRITIC daily, you
will pass through the summer solstice
"at peace with all the world and the rest
of mankind"

GENERAL A. p. HovEY, Member of
Congress from the First Indiana district,
has captured the Gubernatorial nomina-
ton, which, under all the circumstances,
is a great honor. Several of the ablest
men in the State had been named for
the head of the ticket. Albert G. Porter
was the favorite, but declined to accept
the candidacy in such terms as to force
the withdrawal of his name. Then the
stampede went to Hovey with an ire
sistible impetus, and the choice is un-
doubtedly good one. General Hovey
is veteran of high standing, and will
be depended on to divide the Democratic
soldier vote. He is hero of two wars,
having been Lieutenant in the war
with Mexico, besides coming out of the
late unpleasantness with Major-Gen-
erals brevet. He is now serving his
first term in Congress.

THE SIOUX INDIANS don't appear to
like the new treaty which divides up,
parcels out and curtails their reserva-
ton. They viii have to come to it
sooner or later, however. Their title is
not of such a sacred, neither of such a
well-defned and solemnly-recorded
character that it should stand in the
way of the interests of the white man.
If the land is wanted for settlement and
development it should be taken rather
than left the barren waste that most Of it
is now. The public good is to be con
suited in this matter instead of the
caprices and prejudices of such vaga-
bond statesmen as the Hon. Sitting Bull.

Good One on Gen. Butler.
From the Ne,o York Press

FROM He NetO 1OTh IFcoSs
While Butler was governor of Massachu-
setts he was retained as counsel for young
man whose wife had sued him for divorce
on the grounds of cruelty. The wronged
wife's sister, young girl of 20, was the
principal witness for the prosecution, and
Gen. Butler succeeded in roobiug her story
of It's desired effect by sharp and irritat-
ing cross examination. After many inter
ruDtions the witness said that the defendant
had been seen to "shy a book at his wife's
head"
"Shyl Shy book! What do you mean
bv thatl Win you explain to the court
what the word shy meansp
The young girl leaned over the railing
md asked her sisters counsel for r copy Of
ICushing's Manual" which lay on the desk
before him. See hurled the volume ut Gen.
Bntler's head with all the force she could
command. 1t was a good SHOT, and had
not the Governor OWNED her purpose in
time it would undoubtedly have hit the
mark.
II think the court now understands the
meaning of the word 'shy," said the judge,
and the girl was allowed to finish her testi-
mony without further interruption.

PINE APPLE GROWING

Some of our readers will be surprised to
learn that this region also produces the
pine apple in its greatest perfection, and
nothlng can be more remunerative. i
visited small patch inside of the corpora
Ion owned by a. Artman, accompanied by
Dr' j. w. Sewell, formerly of Georgia, who
furnished the following particulars. 1t
measured l40 feet in length by 10 feet wide,
making 1872 of an acre. The plants, two
years old were set 20 inches each way
rather thicker than usual. The soil was a
nigh sandy hammock, and no fertilizers
We're applied
Every plant was bearing fruit, and by
ac'ual calculation produced five apples TO
each square yard The total area of 1856
square yards would yield, therefore, 775
plheappes Of superior size. These at the
average ruling price at home of SOC. each
mine.
Each plant will average five shoots for
propagation, springing from around the
oase OF the apple and from the stock be-
meath 1t. The original stock should be re-
ne"ed once in every three years. 1t is a
..ioVe"orthy fact that sprouts pulled from
yue parent stock below the apple will pro
,'Ice irult in one year, while tho % omauat-
ing from the apple will not bear under two
years The plants yield but one apple at Il
eInle and 1t requires from ten to eleven
months to mature. The culture is simple

geldfng. The trot was mile heats, three in five, in harness. Hiram Woodruff drove Dexter, and when they got off in the first heat, at once took the lead with him. Dexter won the first heat easily in 2:33. and the others in 2:36 and 2:33444, respect lively.
 This was the beginning of a series of triumphs. On Aug IA. 1867, at Buffalo, in the presence of MT. Bonner and Mir Fawcett, Dexter was driven by Budd Doble to beat his own time. He was given ono round as preparatory, and did it in 2:21l. At 4 o'clock he came on the track in harness, accompanied by the mare Charlotte F.. with Ben Mace in the saddle He trotted the first ausrter in 3344 seconds. the halE in 1:01, and tie mile in 2:1.44, the best record he ever made.
 Dexter had been sold but not delivered to MT. Bonner for S35. 000. The sale after this race became known, s.d Mir Bonner retired him from tha-track.
 Dexters record has since been broker by few seconds, but the track on whict he made 2;174 was 27 feet 8 inches ovel the mile, and there have been improve ments since in sulkies and horse trottins paraphernalia generally.
