sour dispatches from New York
inform Us Of The arrival Of large
numbers Of immigrants from Eu-
rope. These immigrants are Of an
nations and all grades Of laborors.
They are bound 10 live and consc-
quently they are bound to compete
with American labor. They do
compete with it, and no one can do
ny that the foreign element is the
strongest resource Of the capitalist
against organized American labor.
Many a strike, and a just one at
that, has been brought to a failure,
by the capitalist resorting in part
or wholly TO foreign labor. We
noticed lately, that a large Phila-
delphia firm would employ only
foreign labor and promptly sent
for police protection when the
American laborers began to mutter
about it. Yet Pennsylvania is to-
day the greatest protection war
tariff State in the Union. 1t is in
the remorseless grip Of the great
railroad and mining corporations,
and they demand protection for
their vast aggregations Of capital,
and protection from American la
borors, when they hire foreign'la-
borers, which they do whenever it
is to their interest.
(. Is it not high time for the labor
trs Of this country to open their
eyes to the true situation? The
foreign laborers are pouring into
the country without hindrance, for
there IS no tariff on them, but the
protected manufacturers are FREQ
to reduce wages to what the labor
ers, constantly menaeed by cheap
foreign laborers, will stand, and
yet demand that the working man
be made to pay war tariff prices
for everything he consumes"
We 9bto the above from the
Vicbsh hg Cota froiai Herald 10
endorse its tariff idea and to a,
addition, that the late immigration
movement, successful, means the
bringing ola large number Of these
very people to Mississippi. If
they compete with honest Ameri-
can labor in Pennsylvania, they
would do so in Mississippi, and if
this class foments strikes and mobs
and anarchy in Chicago, they
would do so in Vicksburg. We
need no immigrants except Amer
lean borned citizens from our sis
ter States, and only such Of them
as are able to take care of them
selves when they get here.

We owe our friend Gen. T. M.
Miller an apology for the appear
ance Of an article in the MEssEE-
GER of the Slst ult. copied from the
Clarksdale Banner, without com
ment, which charges in effect, that
in the penitentiary bond case, "the
official whose duty it was to pro-
tect the interest of the State, failed
or refused to prosecute the guilty
parties, and thus at one fell swoop
about $500 was lost to the tax
payers Of the State"
Ifthe Banner intended criti-
cism of the present efficient Attor-
ney-General of the State, the lam
guage quoted does him a grave in
justice, for it is a matter of record
that Gen. Miller did prosecute the
case vigorously. and was IN no
wise responsible for the failure to
collect the money due from the
lessees to the State. That the State
was beaten out Of something near
the amount of money specified by
the Banner, through careless legis-
lation and technical rulings of the
courts, is a fact, but we trust our
ootemporary Will do the law officer
of the State, who has ever been
prompt and zealous in the dis
charge Of bis duties to the people,
and himself as an upright consci-
entious journalist, the justice to
make the correction.

equal. While talking with one Of
our business men a few days since
about This neglect, he was surpris-

From the ilatiOn ofthe scan
dalous stories about the domestic
life of the President and his fami-
ly we are to inter that the coming
campaign, like the one four years
ago, is to be a dirt throwing affair.
The absurdity of the stories are
equaled only BY their vileness and
the depravity Of their miserable
author or authors, and will do the
intended victims no harm.

We take the liberty Of suggest
ing to our young friend Of the East
Mississippi Times, that The most
lengthy editorials are not always
the most convincing. His eourte-
Gus (gl bearing towards the editor
of this paper may be attributable
perhaps, to the methods adopted
at the "high school, where bis cd
ucation was completed, but genteel
people, with old fashioned ideas
Of politeness never mistake inso-
lence for good breeding and they
know that no amount ofmud-sling-
ing can constitute an argument.
That we favored the establishment
Of the A. & NJ. College, and that
we denouRce the management be-
cause they have converted it into
a Tombstone Industry" does not
necessary make us inconsistent, but
what has our change of opinion,
after watching carefully the results
of the experiment tor eight years
to do with the charges which we
make against the College, not one
ofWhich has ever been publicly
denied. We are not like the fell
low, who said the horse was six
teen feet high, and then swore it to
maintain his consistency. 1t is no
humiliation for US to admit we
made a mistake, when we know
such to be the fact and then as every
honest man should, we set about
to correct the error into which we
had fallen, and this is why we criti-
else the gilded elephants. II is
said wise men change their opin-
ions sometimes, but fools never do.
Without claiming a place among
the former class, we congratulate
ourselves, that the friends of the
.iniquitous high school system have
not yet been able to identify us
with the latter and unless our con-
Yictions undergo a change, or we
become degaontod we promise 70

gle change made by us, in a digni
fed editorial of a quarter of a col
umn, than be can accomplish il

foreign to a manly and honorable

THE TICKET.
CLEVELAND AND THURMAN.


CLEVELAND AND THURMAN.
The work of the Sc. Louis con-
vention is eminently satisfactory
to the rank and file Of the Demo
cratic party. The ticket is the
strongest that could possibly have
been made and excites the widest
enthusiasm. The platform is COM
plete in all lis parts and presents
70 the country a square issue be-
tween the two great parties. New
er before perhaps in the history Of
the party has there been such unity
Of thought and such harmony Of
action as characterized the eonvon-
ton and never has the Democracy
entered a campaign with a bright
er prospect for victory. The Re
publicans are still casting about for
candidates to make the race, but it
is evident, that there is great di-
veIsity of opinion among their
leaders, and an assured fact, that
they will be unable to match the
matchless ticket presented by the
Democrats.
Commenting on the personel Of
our ticket the New Orleans Plea
yune forcibly says:
"Mr. Cleveland has never been
Ndefeated. His public career has
been an uninterrupted succession
of great popular triumphs, and his
name is associated alike with vic
tory and reform. His laurels have
been won in the discharge of the
onerous duties and responsibilities
Of great administrative Offices.
His character, temperament and
training have combined to fit him
for the place he now occupies in
the government of this mighty re-
public, and to which we hope and
believe he will be called for a sec
ond term by the people whom he
has so faithfully and efficiently
seYved Mr.. Cleveland is not a
compromise candidate. He has

the midst Of embarrassing issues.
He has stood IN a light as fierce as
that which beats upon a throne,
and his every official act has been

gest. What an eloquent fact it is,
then, that so near the close of one
term as the efexecutiye of the
United States he has been nomipa.
ted for a second term, with abso.

Allen G. Thurman has been the
hero of so many campaigns, he has
achieved distinction in so many
historical debates, he has stood by
his party so faithfully through
good and evil fortune, that he has
won the sobriqWet of ''the old Ro.
man." He has the courage Of hi,
opinions, the honesty of his prin
ciples and the wisdom Of bis age
Our candidates are in perfect
sympathy and accord, and with
