Rar ONT tha Vicions.

The watchful officials at Castle Gar
den are TO be commended for their
prompt action in the case OF the re-
cent importation of ex-convicts from
Great Britain. The prudential spirit
which has for several year past
pormpted bold utterance OF opinion in
favor OF restriction OF immigration has
b cen awakened by the coming TO our
shores OF just such vicious elements as
British ex-convicts and ticket-oi leave
men. There is abundant room in the
United States for honest men bent
upon ome-building. but we have suf-
ficient OF the criminal class, and can
offer no welcome to the riff-raf and
the off-scourings OF foreign countries
and cities.
Prison reform has become very
knotty problem, owing to the clamor
OF labor against the employment of
convicts upon articles which may be
offered in competition with the re-
suits OF honest labor. When it is
thoroughly analysed, the question will
be found TO be simply one of selections
as to the manner Of taxing the honest
for the support OF those who are kept
in duress for the good of society in
general. The cost of keeping the vic
ious where they can cause no injury to
the innocent and the honest must, in
some way, come out OF the taxpayers
pocket
This troublesome question is so
closely linked with that of immigra-
ton privilege that reason, aud natures
first law-that OF self-preservation-
should dictate sleepless watchfulness
at New York, Boston and other great
seaports, against the importation OF
couvicts and other vicious and ire
sponsible characters. Wisconsin, Mil

AM Interesting supgestion.

An eronaut now in this city makes
an interesting suggestion. Has any
body he says, lever used the balloon
in the exploration OF Central Africa. or
proved that it would not be serviceable?
Look at Stanley, struggling for years
amid forests, swamps, and savage
tribes, yet unable TO make his way
into the interior, but would il not be
possible for skillful aeronaut to take
him in a balloon from the eastern
coast of Africa. proceed in the direc-
ton OF Ujiji, and from there toward the
sources OF the Nile, surveying the
country as he went along? They would
sweep across the continent at the rate
OF 400 or 500 miles day, SO that but a
short time would be needed for the
long journey, and they would meet
with no obstruction from swamps, for
ests, or sayages.
THE balloon would easily carry all
the provisions aud water required by
the party during their trip, and the
aeronauts might travel only during the
day, descending for rest at night.
Years ago Prof. Wise repeatedly made
voyages of 1000 miles in his balloon.
and competant sky-fyers might now
be found TO solve the African problem
through voyage in an air ship. 1t is
the only way to do it. and | shall tell
Stanley so when he gets back here ia

remarks is an enthusiasts on his favor

In 1874 the Cheyenne Indians resi-

wounded, and had fallen outside Of the
shelter. Unless he could be brought
in he would certainly be butchered,
but any attempt at bringing him In
looked like certain death.
1t was hero's opportunity, and the
hero was there. A scout named Chap
