Three suits have been docketed in the
United States Circuit Court of Maryland,
says the Baltimore Sun, by Bryant and
Bryant. counsel for Emory r. Burnite.
One suit was against James II. Holmes
and wife, Of Caroline county, Md, the
father-in-law and mother-in-law Of Bur
mite in which $40, 600 are demanded for
alternating the affections Of Burnite's
wife. the daughter of the Holmeses
In another suit $4,000 are claimed
against Mr.. Holmes for SANDER. The
the third suit is against Samuel
Shannahan and wife Of Easton, Talbot
county. Md, for $40, 600 for assisting in
the alienation Of Burnite's wife's aifec-
tions. Mrs. Shannahan is a sister Of
Mrs. Holmes
Burnte and Miss Holmes were married
in 1864 and have three children. He is
from Delaware and is a brother Of Wilbur
H. Burnite of FELTON,. After the mar

The purchase Of bonds then became i'm
peratively necessary. The currency con
ditions are now such as to render
probable repetition of last
years experience. 1t may not be
until next April that the evil
effects Of Treasury money absorp-
tion will be seriously felt. but then the
remedy must be as prompt and effective
as was the relief afforded last April The
opportunities for bond buying will then
be exhausted all expedients will have
been tried and worn out, and the single
remedy, and the necessary one, will be a
reduction of the revenue This allows
the old Congress, reassembling in Decem-
Der, or even the new Congress. convened
for the purpose in March, time TO afford
relief and remove the source of danger.
The situation affords no grounds for I'm
easiness or apprehension as TO the imme-
date future; but within the next half
year the remedy must be applied
Assuming that the new Congress will
not be convened before the usual time in
December, 1889, there are certain changes
in the tariff and internal revenue laws,
on which both parties in Congress are
nearly agreed and which might be
promptly effected without serious con
cessions from either side These changes
would include the abolition Of the inter
nal tobacco taxes, with corresponding
reduction Of the duties on imported
tobacco; the reduction OF the sugar
duties the restoration Of the duties on
coverings; the adoption of the Joint reso
luton concerning worsteds proposed by
Mr. Breckenridge, and now in the Com
mittee on Ways and Means and the re
moval Of certain articles 20 the free list,
on which both the Senate and the Mills
bin concur
These changes, which might readily be
agreed upon ina conference Of the Senate
and House committees, could be made
with little delay and satisfy the imme-
date demand for a reduction of the reve-
nue., to the extent Of at least sixty mil
lions Of dollars, before the regular meet
ing Of the next Congress, year hence.
This legislation would relieve the country
Of the danger Of the contraction Of the
currency. which will naturally take place
in the spring and summer of 1889, and
which otherwise it will be difficult, If
not impossible, TO avoid.
Ii should also commend itself TO pro.
tectionists as il would remove one Of the
most effective arguments Of their adver-
saries, the distresses caused by unneces-
sary taxation and withdrawal Of currency
from the avenues of trade.

Notwithstanding the great increase OF
the currency in use among the people Of
the United States since 1860. IL is evil
dent that the amount is not in excess of
absolute requirements. The amount in
circulation, per capita, in 1860, is stated
at Sl4 IS In 1886 the amount. allowing
for what was held by the treasury, was
about $23 per capita.
The probability is that the money cir
culation Of the United States. on January
I. 1889, viii be greater by a fun hundred
millions of dollars than on January +,
1887 Isl, AIS, 900, 600 compared to 81, 3ls,
600, 900 on January 1. 1887 and 81 ,3s4
DOC, 600 on January 1. 1889. and surely
such comparison affords little reason to
fear deficient money supply, provided we
can be assured Of prompt and intelligent
revenue legislation
In taking view Of present currency
conditions, in comparison TO those OF a
year ago. it is also we'll TO remember that
from the first Of January last year a
steady process Of contraction continued
for several months at the rate Of about
$1,000 600 per month. and it was not
until the latter part OF April that this
contraction caused apprehension OF
Threatened interference With business.

New York, Aug. THE congress
sional committee that is investigating
immigration matters went. down the
bay to-day to witness the methods en-
ployed in passing the immigrants at
quarantine, but did not succeed in
accomplishing much. 1t had been given
out that the steamship India, of the
Anchor line, which sailed from Naples
Oh the 18th of July, had on board
several hundred contract laborers from
Italy. On being boarded only four
steerage and one cabin passenger were
found aboard. Among the customs
officers it is suspected that the India,
having been apprsed of the work of
the committee by cable, put her Italian
passengers ashore at Gibraltar and
sent them back. These boats have
never been known to leave the Mediter
anean with less than a few hundred
Steerage passengers. The other
steamers were boarded but nothing OBJ
Jectlonable was discovered.
The committee returned to the city
and resumed its session. John Webb.
worsted worker OF Bridgeport, was next
sworn. He had come from England,
and knew James Lees & Son, who were
in the habit of bringing help over here.
ita knew of eight brought over by them
There were many cone-drawerS Idle
in this country already, four
of whom he knew. Then the testimony
OF Mr. COlclaSa, of the Philadelphia
Record was resumed. He had called on
DIR. John Lees, of Bridgeport, last Sun
day in reference to the Bedford case.
DIR. Lees said he proposed to
BRING MEN FROM ENGLAND
to run all of his cone machines. He
had offered a man SS, 500 to come here
and manage the mill. Witness said
that in the Pennsylvania coal fields he
found, by personal observation and
otherwise, that fully two-thirds of the
men employed in the collieries were
Italians, ,Hungarians and Poles. The COM
mon laborerS of these nationalities re-
celved only from 80 cents to S1.1 per
day. Their mode Of living in the min
ing regions is fully as bad as here, except
that nature there gives them purer air.
AS an example he described one small,
barn-like building in which
FORTY ITALIANS WE'RE HUDDLED
together at Honey Brook. The Italians
live On about 40 cents a day, but the
HungarianS spend about so cents. Mr..
Hines, member OF the PENNSYLVANIA
made to him by j. II. Swoyer, a promi-
nent operator. In effect it was
that the operators in 1887 formed a
combination, by which they agreed
that two things must be done, first, to
open up more coal fields than were nee
essary to supply the market, and next
to get supply of foreign labor here, so
that there would always be a surplus.
Witness said that in fifteen years the
rate of wages had decreased 80 per
the same.
