Our Dangers From Aliens.
Bishop \. Cleveland Coke i'll the
Forum.

In calm review Of history have
we not reason to ask ourselves.
What Of this second century?
Shall our children's children see
another centennial commemoration
of Washington and the constitution?
I think every thoughtful man must
pronounce such a consummatlon
improbable in the extreme. 1t
seems so to me.
To make a truly great nation,
and to give perpetuity to instltu-
tions, we are taught by history to
demand (D a capable foundation Of
races (2) an hereditary system OF
public morals, and 81 a spirit of
fidelity of national foundations and
Of adhesion to tried and long es-
tablished institutions.
The race that gave birth to Amer
lean nationality is the only race in
human history that has proved it.
self capable ofself-government or OF
creating and maintaining free in
stitutions and laws that cooperate
with freedom. But the reports
from Castle Garden alone should be
enough to arouse the American
spirit to demand a radical improve
ment Of our naturalization laws.
|, Every year, thousands who can
neither write their names noe speak
the language in which our consti-
tuition and our lawS-are written,
become voters. We endow these
with almost immediate power to
neutralize the votes of the native
born, who must live four
times as long under their own flag
before they can exercise the iran
chise of electors. Why an
American mother must sub
nit to this discrimination
against her boys, in favor OF the
vomit of vessels that gave birth to
voters four times as fast, if not al
ready quite as numerous. seems
worthy of statesmanlike inquiry.
Is there national spirit enough
left among us to assert that
the time has come to govern
America by honest American voters
and to demand that no such prefix
as Irish or German or Mormon
shall be suffered to qualify the
American name2 If not, free in.

might flourish forever under the
conditions / have indicated and not
otherwise.

He Had to Hustle.

The Augusta Chronicle is responsible
for the statement that gentleman
there advertised for an office boy, and
amonga large batch of conventional
responses received the following origi-
nal and unique reply. Itwas written
on very much seiled, and crumpled
piece Of paper that had never been
very white, and ran as follows: "I'm
y yers old. haint got no father nor
muther. Pm an orfen and I've got to
hustel. 1t just betes hel how hard
times.is." The gentleman read no more
of the letters, but at once sent for the
writer of this one and gave him the
job. The boy has settled down to "hust-
ling" in earnest, and doesn't complain
any more about "hard times"

from 1Gluttf > iuh.
An indianapolis firm head their
advertisement thus:
II L G
Pheasant, profitable: eoe'y6ody t'kes

The romance is taken out OF the
headlines by the announcement
that follows-being no more than a
notice of "a Hosiery, Underwear
and Glove Sale"
Of course there is such q thing as
advertising too much, or at too high
a cost. An amusing instance is re-
called where a bareless business
man advertised a small, tumbled-
down house in an unpopular su-
burb, "For sale" telling the clerk
in the city newspaper Office: "Oh,
let it 90 in till Forbid" Being of
known responsibility, the annouce-
ment ran day after day, week after
week. until finally the insertion for
more than a year had cost several
hundred dollars. II would like,

The Slow Man.

In this age of steam and elec-
tricity, of hustle and hurry, it is
well, perhaps, to stop and inquire
if it is possible that the world has
absolutely got through with the
services of the slow man, who, in
spite of the rapidly progressive
spirit of the age, will persist in be-
ing born into the world.
It hardly needs to be said that if
there were no place for him here
nature would hardly commit the
monumental mistake of creating
him, remarks the Credit Register.
He may, he undoubtedly does,
seem to the hustler the relic of the
dead past that should be at least
put into the rear ranks Of society,
if not sent to keep company with
the mules in the wagon train.
But there is not only a place,
but there is a good place, for the
slow man. Let us look at some Of
his virtues. There are, first, his
negative ones. He is never ''fresh,"
he never is ''too previous and he
never gets to the wrong destination
because he didn't know where he
was going before he started ont.
He knows his own limitations
and doesn't suppose that he is able
to do anything and everything just
because these various things have
been performed by various ether
person at divers and sundry times.
Second comes his positive vir-
tues. He does his work we'll. There
is no need of hiring some one else to
do his work over again, and to re-.
pair, in addition, the injury he has
done to the ma4erial he has worked
upon. He does more work that is
valuable, in the long run, than the
hustler, for his thought and his Ia
bors travel with even steps. lie is
always ready to go when he stops
he can always tell what he has done
and why he did it.
In our admiration of the dazzling
eelerity ofthe hustler, it should not
be forgotten that the cadence step
ofthe slow man covers more ground
between the objective points in life's
tourney that all the brilliant zig
zags Of the most accomplished
hustler.
Give the slow man his proper
place to work in, and in that-place
he does the work that lasts after he
is dead and benefits succeeding gen
erations as well as his own.

Meaning of the Word Limited.
Pottery and Glassware Reporter

POTTERY and Glassware Reporter
It has become somewhat common
nowadays to see the word 'limited,"
in parenthesis, after titles of cor
porations, and it is safe to say that
people generally do not understand
the significance Of this term, though,
of course, business men do. An
explanation oft, as stated in one Of
our exchanges, may, therefore be
of general interest. The old prin-
ciple of corporations created by
legislative act was that the entire
property of every stockholder was
liable fer the whole property of
every member of a general part
nership is still liable for the debts
of the firm. This system made
every shareholder responsible for
bad management, of which he
might not be guilty, and deferred
wealthy men from becoming in
terested in the shares of corpora
ton. To remove this objec-
tion the principle of limited re
sponsibility was introduced, md in
order 10 Dotify the public that
only the separate property Of the
corporation was liable for the debts
of the corporation, the English law
requires that the word ''limited"
shall be used in every case BY the
company in connection with its
title. Most American corporations
are constituted on the principle of
limited liability, and but few, if
any, of the States enjoin the COM
panies formed under their laws1so
append the word ':limited,'tso their
corporate titles. The matter is so
generally understood in this coun-
Try Try by business men, however, that
it is not deemed necessary, though
many companies do it Of their own
accord.
The most noteworthy exception
to the general rule is the case Of
the national bank, but even in this
instance liability is limited to an
amount equal to the par value of
the shares held. That is, if the
Dational bank fails, each stock
holder may not only lose what. he
has. invested, but S100 more fer
each share of the stock he holds, if
so much is necessary to pay the
debts of the bank. Until within'a
few years all the Scottish banks
were organized with unlimited liza.
bility, and when, some eight or ten
years ago, a Glasgow bank failed
disastrously, there were classes of
men who owned a share or two,
valued before the failure at not
much more than s100, who were
assessed thousands of pounds sterl-
ing to meet the debts of the bank.
Since that time the Scottish banks
have been allowed to recognize on
limited liability basis.

DR.. Talmage OF Newspapers.

There are some, undoubtedly,
who will be inclined to take ex-
ception to DR.. Talmage's generous
remarks on the spirit of fairness
and Justice that he says is so prom
ineut among newspapers. But his
championship Of the press, as pub
lished in the Minneapolis Tribune,
is on the Whole 50 good that we
give it to our readers. He says ::
every newspaper reporter in
New York is my personal friend.
I have been betrayed by about
every class of men in the world,
but never by a newspaper man, and
I believe there is a spirit Of fair
ness abroad in the newspapers that
is hardly to be found anywhere
else. There is no man, however,
poor, if ne has beer dcne an injus-
tice. that cannot get himself set
right by the-newspaper. We find
a great deal of fault with the news
papers. Perhaps by our own in
distinctness we are reported as say
ing Just what we did not say, and
there is a regular not of commas
and sewicolons and periods, and
we get used to talking about the
blundering printing press Or
sometimes we take up a paper full
of social scandals and divorce cases
and we talk about the filthy,
scurrilious press, but I could preach
a whole sermon on the everlasting
blessings ola good newspaper. A
good newspaper is the grandest
temporal blessing that God has
given the people Of this century.
EEIn the first place all the people
read the newspapers and the
newspapers furnish the greater
proportion Of the reading to the
people. They don't read books.
The old people look for the deaths,
the young look for the marriages,
the business man reads the business
and financial columns, and those
who are unemployed read the want
ads Great libraries make few in
telligent men and women, but news
papers lift the nations into sun
light.
''My idea Of q good newspaper is
a mirror Of life itself. Some peo-
pie complain because the evil of
the world is reported as well as
the good. The evil must he re-
ported as we'll as the good, or how
WILL we know what TO guard agalnSC
or what to reform? There is a
chance for discrimination as to how
much space shah be given to re-
20 things as prize fights,
bus the newspapers that merely
presents the fair and the beautiful
and the bright side Of life is mis-
representation. That family is best
qualified for the duties of life who
have told to them not only what
good THERE'S in the world, but
sS~eTil there is in the world,
and is told to select the good and
reject the evil.'

THE TROUBLE IN ARKANSAS.
A Skirmish Last Night and "a Battle
Expected.

FOREST CRY, ARK, May 22.-It Was reported
yesterday that last night an attack would be
made on the Jail for the purpose of hberating
the Neeleys, and every preparation was made
to meet il. Business was abandoned and n
small army organized. Messages were sent
into the country and fully $50 well-armed men
came in, and nearly every man in town armed
himself. A strong guard was posted about the
jail, and pickets thrown ont along each road
leading 10 the place. while a large reserve
force held at the sheriffs Office to be avail
able at any desired quarter. Everything was
quiet until about $50 o'clock, when shots were
heard at the north end of town. and the reserve
was at once ordered to fall in" 4 vOlley fol-
lowed by a scattering fire then heard. when
one of the pickets ran in and reported that a
mob of IS or 100 men had attacked them. The
reserve force at once went to their assistance,
but the mob had withdrawn after an exchange
of shots. A number of hOrsemen. led by ROs
Prewitt, then started i'll pursuit of the mob, and
II Is quite probable that battle will have been
fought before morning. At 1890 nothing had
been heard from the party, and there no
more shooting. No one was wounded in the
skirmish. Sheriff Isard has wired the governor
for troops. The fact that the negroes in st.
Francis county Outnumber the whites by about
500, and they have a number of white allies,
occasions no little alarm, and the town has the
appearance OF being in a state of seige.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
MISCELLANEOUS.


Captain Lusk has forwarded to the Commits
sioners the specifications inviting proposals
Tor furnishing the District with cement The
only change i'll the specifications is his recon-
mendation that the cement-house be located
on the James creek canal and erected by the
District, the cost to be charged to the appro-
priation for sewer work. The matter will be
laid before the first controller to see if this can
be done.
At a meeting of the employees of the District
Yesterday. resolutions were adopted, express
ing the regard and esteem of the clerks for the
outgoing Commissioners.
TREE BOXES AND CARRIAGE BLOCKS
Mr.. s. 2. Brown, in a letter to the Commits
sioners to-day, calls their attention to the
necessity OF an order removing the unsightly
wooden tree boxes and substituting wire net
netting. He also questions the Commissioners
owner has complied with the law relative to its
being located.
THE LIE DRoIT PARK SEWER QUESTION.
The STAR has heretofore referred to Gen.
Birney's letter to the Commissioners request
| ing that sewer be laid in lie Droit park
through lie Droit avenue to Boundary street
and also to their reply expressing their willing
ness to lay such sewer provided the street be
| dedicated to the public. At the suggestion OF
Gen. Birney the subject was submitted to At
torney Riddle for opinion. In his opinion, re-
Gently submitted, the attorney saws: lie
Droit avenue Is at least sem-public wav
| and no property-owner on it objectng, see
no legal reason why the Commissioners NAV
not lay a sewer along it as wished | under
stand lots abutting on the avenue in fact run to
| its east line and We're not condemned for it, but
| 1t was plated. and owners have treated it as
| public and would probably be estopped from
denying the rights Of the public to it. The
question of dealing with any OF the streets of
| the park by the Commissioners has become
one more of policy than of law. and yet a legal
shadow may rest upon 1T, not to be wholly dis
regarded perhaps"
The Commissioners will decide in board ses-
sion shortly the advisability of laying the
| sewer.

THE SUGAR BOUNTIEs BILL.
Its POstponem Means its Virtual
Defeat, as the Opposition is Increasing.

LONDON. May 22-It is learned to-day upon
excellent authority that the recent question of
Mr.. Brundel Maple, conservative, in the house
of commons regarding the sugar bounties bill
led to the decision Of the government to post
pone the second reading of the measure until
after the Whitsuntide holidays, as it was
clearly apparent that to push the bill would re-
suit in its defeat. Dir. Maple asked Baron De
Worms if, in case the bill should be passed. the
government would be prepared to bring in a
measure prohibiting the importation of cOnfec-
tionery and sweetened provisions from coun-
tries which give bOunties ON these articles
1t is obvious that there is advantage in
prohibiting the raw material if foreign govern
ments can give bOunties on manufactured
sweetneats and SO jure trades of far more
importance in Great Britain than that OF sugar
refining. of $1,000 persons employed in the
sugar trade. including confectioners. manu-
fseturers of jams. marmalades, &c, only Il. 600
are employed IN sugar refining.
THE GROWING OPPOSITION.
The names of 25 conservative members are
specifically mentioned as those of opponents Of
the bill. and every day increases the disfavor
with which the measure is regarded by union
lists. If the other powers insist on the original
arrangement being carried out the government
will have no alternative but to take the opinion of
the house on the measure. although the minis
try may leave the second reading an open
question. But it is stated to-day that things are
by no means proceeding smoothly at the meet
ings of the commission, and since the bill is
without doubt doomed, there Is no special
reason why the representatives of the English
government should remove the obstacles to an
understanding. OF several possible escapes
from the dilemma by far the most probable APP
pears TO be an announcement at an early date
after the Whitsuntide recess that owing to n
hitch in the negotiations with the powers that
are parties to the convention the bill will not
for the present be proceeded with. That it can
now be carried is out of the question.
