the COMING sMm.GaANTs.

The attention of Congress should
be called anew 70 the necessity OF
promptly considering the immigra-
ton laws.
There are two pressing reasons
for passing some measure Of restric-
ton. The approaching rigorous en-
forcement of the anti-Socia.ist
measures in Germany and the coz
tlition OF the labor market in our
own country demands attention.
The Cologne Gazette, Bismark's
semi-official organ, has called at
tention to the fact that neither fines
nor terms of imprisonment seem to
terrify the Socialists or to deter them
from spreading their organization.
It, therefore demands that pitiless
and indiscr;minate exile should be
tried.
If Bismark has determined on
this course there is no doubt that it
will be carried through. A large
proportion of the exiles will take
ship for America and reinforce the
colony Of this undesirable people
in our chief cities, The United
States has had an object lesson in
the German Socialists Anarchist
doctrines, and wants no more OF
them. Congress should keep out
this class by requiring intending
immigrants to bring certificates from
the American Consul OF their
district, who should be required TO
investigate each case and certify to
each immigrants pursuits and repu-
tation in his home.
In regard to the proposition OF
restricting the incoming Of certain
classes OF labor, the workingman
himself must be the best judge. 1t
would seem from the number OF
men in the country who are out OF
employment that no further COM
petition from the cheap labor OF
Europe is wanted. The riotous
Poles, Hungarians and Italians have
driven American workingmen out OF
various lines OF employment by cut
ting down wages and by force
of arms. The employers encourage
their coming, for they keep down
the price Of labor. 1t would seem
that the interest of the workingmen
lies in keeping the cheaper forms
Of labor out Of the country. But
the decision OF the point must rest
with workmen OF America them
selves. If they want measure OF
this kind they must ask for its.
r Post.

THE DEATH OF NASBY.

The death of Petroleum v. Nasty,
of the Toledo Blade. removes from
the list of humorous writer's OF the
country, one of the most peculiar
and original OF them all. He be-
came famous during the war by the
publication OF letters purporting to
be written at the "ex-Confederate
cross roads, Kentucky" He origin
ated q number of odd characters,
and never went out OF the beaten
track of peculiar spelling and quaint
dialect.
No other writer ever dared en-
croach on his grounds, and his let
tiers soon became a broad factor in
the discussion OF national politics.
While the astute statesmen of the
country bewildered the public by
their discourses of serious public
questions, Nasty took hold of the
same questions and illustrated them
in his quaint way. so that the argu-
ment was forcibly presented to ev-
erybody who could read, and fast
encd on the mind BY ludicrous COM
parsons and anecdote.
Sherman, or Butler, or Blaine,
in discussing the tariff question at
length, did not convey so clear an
illustration to the uneducated
masses as the picture presented by
Nasty, of Bascom purchasing a
pair of Atwood trousers at the ex-
Confederate cross roads store.
His fun was something beyond a
mere effort to make people laugh,
for it illustrated a good argument.
and made them think.
He always welded his pen for
the Republican party, and his work
was Of immense advantage to it.
1t is not likely that any other
writer can fill his place in the pc
culiar field Of literature in which he
was the sole laborer.

Al FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Bloody fractional Battle in Rural Dis.
trict of Mississippi.

ABERDEEN, Miss, March News
reaches here to-day of a terrible battle
between citizens of the Fifth District of
Monroe County, fifteen miles north of
Aberdeen. The tragedy was brought
about by the action of Mr.. Davenport
teacher Of public school at Rome,
expelling one or two pupils from
his school. The friends of
the teacher on the one hand
and those of the offended parties on the
other, met at the schoolhouse and a
difficulty occurred between the factions,
in which number participated with
pistols and other weapons. In the
melee James Bailey, Jr., fired six
charges from his pistol, instantly killing
R. A. Rutledge and wounding his son,
Edward, SO seriously that he
died the following day. He also
inflicted a severe flesh wound
upon Benjamin English and uninten-
tionally shot his younger brother
through the finger, when his ammuni-
ton was exhausted. Bailey received
glancing bullet against rib and slight
cut in his back from a knife. The battle
was participated in by many besides
those wounded and killed.

sTVINDLED MANY TVOMEy.
A Chicagoan's Mean Method of Obtainin:


Frank B. Johnson, good looking fell
low of 80 years, is in jail at Chicago for
having engaged himself to half dozen
different women at the same time. What
was worse than promising to marry them
all, he is charged with having borrowed
money of them. Miss Jennie Fisher, of
452 Wells Street, of whom he borrowed
5000 on promise Of marriage caused
his arrest for obtaining money under
false pretense. He went to jail in de-
fault of bail. He came before Judge
Prendergast on the 29th with petition
for release on the ground that he is in
solvent and cannot pay the Judgment,
which Miss Fisher secured rgainst him.
Miss Jane A. Jansen, from whom john
son obtained 81 200 after he had engaged
to marry her, tainted before she could
give her evidence. After being restored
she admitted that Johnson had
promised to make her his wife. Besides
Miss Jensen and Miss Fisher, Johnson
is alleged to have procured $4,000 from
Mrs. O. l.. Kelsey, of Wisconsin, and
So, 800 from Mrs. Celia Wallace, who re-
sides at the Palmer House. Among the
other complaining females in court was
a clearinghouse keeper, who claims
that Johnson lett after offering her 81 600
to introduce him to one of her lady
friends who had money.
