tration will necessarily commit itself
to such national policy as will best
perpetuaUe, conserve and develop
national feeling. Under the stimulus
of this necessity, laws will fran g
themselves to exclude all that de-
nationalizes and lowers the standard
of national feeling. immigration
laws will fall into line with this law
of general necessity and where re-
striction is necessary restriction
will be enforced. This fact is
already apparent. The public
mind is taking hold of this
problem and the public press
very generally have declared in favor
of stringent regulations governing the
admission of foreigners into this coun-
try as abiding residents. Even in the
national legislature this matter has
received some attention and Is des-
tined very speedily to receive more.
The danger that threatens from I'M
Americanizing our population through
foreign importations, is as nothing
compared to the danger OF demoraliz-
ing our government through the dis
integratlons Of states rights doctrines,
finding forceful AMI governing eX-
preston in acts of secession from the
national body. This latter danger, of
all others the most imminent, was the
danger threatening our government
during the golden century just closed
and which that century has seen most
happily and enduringly settled. No
other question can arise which will
so seriously endanger our national eX-
istence. The commercial bands, the
ties of iron and interest as well as
those of blood make us one people as
never before, ana unity assured no
foreign arm or foreign influx of popu-
latiOns can move the firm foundations
Of national government out of their
place. The anarchist is only a blot
upon our exterior; it is not a cancer
Gus sore eating into the very heart of
our national existence. Given the
firm establishment of the idea of an
nationality, the national
existence becomes assured, and after
that all things are possible. This
coming century may witness some dis
turbance in the adjustment of inhar-
monious elements; it will witness no
such dangers as those through which
the nation has already passed.

FOREST fires at this season of the
year in the upper Michigan peninsula
and in Wisconsin are a most unusual
thing, and presage immense de-
struction to timber and mills. Viii
lagos and farms are also threatened,
and unless timely rains fall the de-
struction will rival that of the great
fires of 1871. Fall fires after a dry,
hot summer are not unusual, but fol-
est fires just at the close of winter are
an precedented disaster. Texas is
free from all such.

How guardedly the Houston Post
expresses itself concerning Secretary
Blaine. That If comes in as a saving
clause to redeem the little editorial
from the curse of felsehood without
recourse. The Post says
If reports be true Mr.. Bane's desperate at
tempt to fight off approaching age and disease
are amply calculated to excite pity. He has
gradually seen the goa. of his ambition re-
ceding and as the years creep upon him the
bitterness of disappointment is growing
keener and keener. He submits daily TO all
kinds of treatment and trying exercise TO pre-
vent the threatened early decay of his once
magnificent powers.
To all such editorials is the old
adage applicable: IF ifs and ands
were pots and pans there would be no
need of tinkers.n

| BoULANGER was not at the Paris
exposition opening, but his name was
on the tongue of the populace, some
of whom were arrested for crying
"vive la Boulanger." Had this cry
been suffered to pass in silence the
self expatriated would not have at
tracted attention; as it is, he is made
to appear as martyr. Those
Frenchmen do not know enough to
let we'll enough alone.
THE files of the LIGHT will show
that no expression of opinion, no mat
ter how great the provocation, has
been INDUCED in by this journal con-
corning the Northumberland pro-
ceedmgs. Even when open attempts
were made by other papers to create a
public sentiment, the LIGHT held its
peace, believing in the final triumph
of right and justice. 1t has by no
means been blind to the efforts made
to create sentiment under pressure
of which the grand jury would be
moved to some specific action, but it
has held aloof from any mention of
the case since the order of commit
ment was issued, save to give the
facts concerning the attempt and fail
ure to give bond. 1t is the province
of the court and not of the press to de-
eide the guilt or innocence of the &C
cused, and for this verdict the LIGHT
waits, has waited, and still waits.
The private opinions of the LIGHT
have had no utterance in these col
umns so far as this case is concerned.

A Settlement OF Crnnk,.

HOLLAND, Mich, Oct. 28.-A great dea
is printed in the newspapers OF the pres
ent day of the superstitons about figures
days and dates, but for some real old,
fashioned superstition OF 100 years ago Il
person has simply to 90 to the little
village OF Graflschap, i'll Allegan county,
few miles south OF here, inhabited by
Dutch people. While known as indus
trious, quiet, honest and religious, the
sillest superstitions OF ancient times
trouble them much at present, and the
whole neishborlood is in state of ex.
element. Lately several cases of severe
and stubborn sickness have been at
tributed to some unknown witch, and for
that reason feather beds and pillows were
opened and carefully examined. The
punches formed inside in time are called
crowns, wreaths, chichehs or any imag.
Unable thing.
A case afew days ago Of tho above de.
scrlption happened and the reighbors
were called in, and sure enough, the
feather devils" as they are called, were
discovered. A hot fire was made and the
crowns, etc, put in the fire but would not
burn; even the feathers would not be
otolNlltu, DuG UllIC uWu Iulk-
ing about it they had suddenly disap,
peared. In some cases live chickens
have been put in kettles and slowly boiled
to death in order to cOunteract or dispeI
the evil one. The many stories, at least
in that village, among old and Young, are
so strange and weird as to keep all in
state of excitement. Last Sunday the
village minister preached a rebuking SER
mon on the subject.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Samuel Barton,
q well known stock broker of New York
and nephew of the late Commodore
Vanderbilt, has published little pamph-
let advocating the adoption OF an interna-
tional silver coin. He iavors the coinage
OF silver "dollars," not merely by the
countries taking part in the All-American
congress, but by England, Germany,
Austria and countries OF the Latin union
In short, by all commercial countries of
the world. This "dollar" to be legal
tender at its face value in all these coun-
tries, but only up to the sum OF $25.
Barton points out that all these coun-
tries hsve now coins in silver simple
multiple OF which are nearly equivalent
to our dollar, as English shilings,
German marks and French francs.
This fact, he believes, would help to
enable the people of several countries
readily to become accustomed to the use
OF the new coin.
Thus a new use for silver would be pro-
vided, the price OF that commodity would
advance and multitude of evils too nu.
merous to mention would be remedied.

freight on the Pennsylvania railroad has
finally produced Il complete paralysis ol
business in the coke regions. There are
to-day less than 500 cars in the ent re re.
gion, whereas the daily minimum, when
the usual average business is handled is
ll,200. The trouble is not due to the pre-
yalling car famine, but to tie lack OF mo-
tive power sufficient to haul cars to or
from the region, despite the magnificent
equipment OF locomotives possessed by the
railroad company. Never in the history
OF the road has there been such Il trenen-
dous amount of freight offered for slip

CLAYTON, n. NJ, Oct. 26.-The live,
liest little town in New Mexico at the
present writing is Clayton. The cattle
round-ups have one by one brought to
this stock center for shipment herd after
herd OF steers. which have been sold read
+ lily to Kansas and Missouri parties who
want feeders, and they have been ship
ping their purchases from the stock yards
Springer and Ration, which have until
this year been the points from which
hundreds of loads OF cattle have been
shipped, are giving away to this new town,
which has better range and better water
ing facilities than they and which is offer
ing rate cheaper than the Santa Fe can
give. Herds are arriving from the Cana.
dian and even from the Pecos, $50 miles
away, and many of the stockmen are
obliged to wait for cars.
The streets Of the town are decorated at
all times during the day by the festive
cowboy, who always literally divides his
money with storekeepers and saloons
The two hotels OF the place are crowded
to their utmost capacity. The fact that
Clayton has sold more steers than any
two other points in the territory makes
it center for buyers from the east, who
find here cattle IN better condition than
those in the yards OF Kansas City.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The pension Of
flee is full Of reports that the re-rated
clerks will be called upon to refund the
extra money secured by Tanners favor.
1t is said at the interior department that
no decision concerning these cases has
been reached
If it is determined to recover the money
each person concerned is entitled under
law to receive notice sixty days in ad-
vance of any action toward that end.
Each case will have to be considered by
itself, for it is not believed that all re-rat-
ngs were actually illegal. 1t is not GER
tain, indeed, that i'll more than very few
there were such actual violations of law as
would enable the authorities to recover
the back pensions already paid.
In most cases, however, the secretary
will undoubtedly find reason for reopen
ing them and bringing the pensions back
to the rate from which Tanner raised
them.
No notice Of the proposed re-examina-
ton has been sent to any of the clerks.
Under any circumstances, therefore, they
will enjoy their higher pensions for sixty
DAYS more

BOND PURCHASES AND THE SURPLUS.

Now that the sinking fund require
ments from the present fiscal year have
been fully met by the purchase OF bonds
to date, the sole purpose OF future bond
purchases will be to prevent, so far as
possible, any undue increase in the
treasury surplus. The recent offerings of
bonds have been unusually heavy. The
continued excess OF receipts over expen-
ditures has, however, prevented any
material reduction OF surplus. According
to the treasurer's statement, just issued,
this now amounts to $46,345, 900. The
receipts so far this month aggregate near
ly $4,000, 900 and the expenditures near.
ly $4,000, 900, making net gain Of $l0,-
