Must There be a Rule About Tt?

We have been favored with a copy
of letter recently sent out by the
Vermont Wdtchmdn to leading repub-
licans throughout the State, soliciting
their views upon the question of pro-
noting Lieutenant Governors to Gov
ernors. It will be we'll remembered
that this question was brought up in
the republican State convention in
1886, and that Col. Fuller secured
the nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor virtually upon the strength of
the pledge made in his behalf by Col.
Hooker that he (Fuller) would not
be candidate for governor in 1888.
1t was evident that the non-promo-
ton rule then established by very
general consent met with the hearty
approval of large majority of Re-
publicans of the State, and we be-
lieve there has been no material
change since in public sentiment on
the question. Probably no doubt
would be created on the subject now,
but for the efforts made in a certain
quarter to secure reversal of
the policy definitely established in
1886, for the especial benefit of our
Lieutenant Governor, who, it is cur
rently reported, desires promotion
to the Governorship. We are of the
opinion, however, that the republi-
cans of the State will insist that the
non-promotion rule be maintained
next year; and certainly there seems
no good reason why the present Lieu
tenant Governor should be better
treated in this respect than his pre-
decessor was. They do not believe
the restoration of the practice which
prevailed for some years previous to
1886, in the selection of candidates
for the gubernatorial succession, is
consistent with the best political
methods.
It does not follow that because a
man is qualified to make an accepta-
BILE Lieutenant Governor, he is like
wise we'll fitted for the higher place;
and it is only fair that the people
should be left perfectly free to select
the best man for Governor at the
proper time, which they cannot we'll
do if the Lieutenant Governor is prac-
tically given lien on the Governor
ship two years in advance. 1t is at
least unfair that any man should seek
to occupy the highest State offices for
four years in succession, unless his
party, aUih substantial unanina6ty, de-
mands his promotion. Therefore, it
seems to us that nothing but the pre-
eminent fitness of the Lieutenant
Governor for the office of Governor,
or his eminent public services, would
justify departure in any case ffom
the just rule adopted in 1885,
Spri7oq1ield Republican.

band, carriages with invited guests
and prominent individuals, old SOL
diers and citizens, and march to the
state monument, which is about one
and half miles from Gettysburg, ar
irving about 10 O'Clock. There the
principal exercises of the day will
take place, the leading features of
which will be the address by Senator
Edmunds and the reading by Prof.
Churchill of Andover College of
poem written for the occasion by
Mrs. Julia G. r. Dorr. The presen-
tation of the monument by Gov. Dill
ingham will follow and Commissioner
Veazey will receive the same in be-
half of the Gettysburg Monument
Association. The entire party will
then leave for the Old Brigade mon
ument, which is situated east of Big
Round Top. From there the pro-
cession will pass to the cavalry mon
ument,at the west of Big Round Top,
and from here to the monuments of
the sharpshooters, one being situated
in what is known as the 'slider"
house yard, on the south side of the
lane leading to the ''peach orchard, -,
and the other about one-half mile
west of Emmetsburg pike upon Sem
mary Ridge, about one and a half
miles from Gettysburg. At all OF
the monuments short exercises will
be held. This will make march of
about seven miles and will give all
an opportunity of seeing the histori-
cal points on the field, such as the
s'Devil's Den," the "Wheat Field,"
where 1900 soldiers were buried, the
ssPeach Orchard" and many other
places of interest. 1t is expected
that the exercises will take from about
8 o'clock in the morning until about
4 o'clock in the afternoon. Circulars
giving all the information are being
prepared and can be obtained on ap-
plication to any of the commissioners

1t is reported that the fifty Ameri-
can workingmen who went to Europe
under the auspices of the Scripps
league to ''do" the Paris exhibition,
and to visit various cities in France,
Great Britlan and Germany, are,
without exception, of the opinion that
American workmen are better housed,
better fed, better paid, better clothed
and generally better off than their
European fellows.

Unwelcome Immigrants.

The permanent and ultimate sue
cess of our method of government is
not yet conclusively established. AS
our second century opens before us
we see many dangers looming into
sight. A republican form of rule is
not perpetual motion machine only
needing to be rebuilt, we'll oiled, and
we'll started, and then left to itself.
On the contrary, it is living organ
ism, needing food and shelter, and
capable of growth, of increased vital
ity, of even larger accomplishments,
and capable also of decline and of
death. Any one familiar with the
history of our own time can call to
mind withou ut effort many of the be-
setting dangers that must be warded
off if the United States are to hold
their own through the twentieth CEN
tury.
One of these perils rises to view
when we learn that since 1860 there
have come to our shores 10,000,000
immigrants that at present they are
coming at the rate of 100000 year;
and that the number for a single year
has risen as high as 100000. There
were two years in succession in which
Germany alone sent us a total Of
AGO, 900. From Russia and Austro-
Hungary, come from 10000 to $4,000
annually, and from Italy more than
$4,000.
Now it is not to be denied that
many-very many-of these immi-
grants make excellent American citi-
zens. Thousands are skilled and in
dustrious artisans, and thousands
more are hard working, thrifty, and
fairly intelligent. But is is also not
to be denied that there are tens of
thousands who are ignorant, lazy,
and vicious, and that from nearly all
our dangerous anarchists and large
part of our criminals Their pres
ence is an actual menace TO the we'll
being of the Republic. And even
when they die, their children, who
will take their places, will be almost
as unfit for the duties of American
citizenship as they. Is it not our
bounden duty to be considering this
matter seriously and to take steps to
protect ourselves from this threaten
ed harm?

The latest dispatches from Samoa
show that the great victory gained at
Berlin by our diplomatists is having
its legitimate results at what was the
seat of war. King Maletoa and his
lieutenant, Mataafa, are in peaceful
possession. Tamasese, the rebel
who was supported by the Germans,
and who was used by them as a fig
urehead in order to carry out their
ambitious schemes of aggrandize-
ment, has been notified by the Ger
man consul that Germany is now pre-
cluded from giving support to any
party on the island. AS Tamasese
owed whatever success he had attain
ed to German backing, and never had
the respect or allegiance of more than
a very small minority of the Samoans,
even with Germany as his sponsor, he
will collapse very speedily.
What threatened to become an in
ternational dispute of serious magni-
tude has been settled, and most hon
orably. to the Samoans and to this
country by the wise, firm and digni-
fed action of Messrs. Kasson, Phelps
and Bates; and the United States
have recovered a standing in the eyes
of Europe which they were fast los
ing under Mr. Bayard's vacilIating
and trucking policy.

There has been so far q decrease
of immigration this year of 72,135
persons, the total number of arrivals
being 222, ,O56 against 294, ,191 during
the corresponding period of last year.
The improved crops of late years in
many parts of Europe and the better
prospects of peace have combined to
make the people better contented with
their lot, and less anxious to escape
the evils of possible starvation and
military service. 1t is not probable
that there will be any increase in the
fall months that will compensate for
this decline, and the rush for the
year is over by the 1st of September.
There is something very confusing
in the testimony before the senate
committee that is investigating the
beef combinations of the west. The
s'big four" of Chicago refused to ap-
pear, but others in that city testified
that the packers profit on a steer
weighing 1900 pounds was about S62.
1t was apparently demonstrated that
while beef on the hoof is now 45 per
lower than eight years ago, the cost
of dressed beef to the consumer re-
mained exactly the same. The evil
dence furnished at Chicago went to
prove these statements. At Kansas
City, however, leading packer tes-
titled that the profit on single ami
NAL was often less than sixty cents,
and he read from what purported to
be balance-sheet footings to show
that the average profit on 145, 900
animals packed in 1887 was only a
little over thirty-three cents. There
is something decidedly mysterious in
the connection between cheap cattle
and dear beef, and the committee of
which the Chicago packers, rated as
worth some S2O,O0O,O0O apiece, were
so sorely afraid can do no better work
than to furnish the solution.
The voice of France has again been
heard and the Republicans are ahead.
Boulangism has had another defeat
and at some places the supporters
and advocates of the peppery general
received rough treatment. But this
is something always to be expected
at French election, and as a matter
of fact, that of yesterday passed off
rather more quietly than is ordinarily
the case.
The fact is that the French mind
at the present moment is not in ac-
cord with the troublous tactics of
Boulanger and Boulanger leaders.
The splendid success of the Exposi-
tion has united Frenchmen in support
of the present Government. Success
is a great factor to content, and so
long as the French people can bring
the people of other nations to their
shores to spend money and praise
them and their institutions, President
Carnot and his associates are certain
of support and admiration Pessim-
ism hides its head, and the cry of
revolution will not be listened to.
Perhaps Boulanger's time may come
in the future, but just now there is
too much prosperity in France to
have it disturbed by blatherskites.

Is a Speculative Boom Cominge
New York Star.

Wall street has not felt so hopeful in a
long while as it does at present. After
weary months and years of hating spec
ulation and an absence of public interest
in the stock market, it sees better pros
pect ahead. 1t is asserted that outsiders
are fiocking back to the street, and that
the great American public has not ap-
peared IN so speculative q mood since the
halcyon days of 1879.
Wall street has waited patiently for
such a cond ton of things. Its dreams
of real bull market are on the point of
Undertaking.. II sees the market widen
and feels its own profits commence to
grow. Its only fear is that some unto
ward event will scatter these bright
hopes. 1t is ready to anathematize the
railroad manager who would interrupt
the growth of public confidence by start
ing rate war.
With this prospect of revived speeula-
tive prosperity in sight, Wall street will
soon forget all the experience it has
gained in the troublesome period through
which it has passed. 1t viii probably be
just as prone to carry the speculative
spirit to extremes as ever. Chips and
whetstones win sell for ingots. The
public viii JON in the excitement, and
the end will be the usual one of such
movements. If the leaders of Wall
street can exert a little moderation at
the outset, they viii perform service
not only to the public, but to themselves.

THE legislature of Pennsylvania, now
in session, has under discussion, with
every prospect of enactment into law, a
bill to prohibit the sale in that state Of
dressed meat shipped from the West in
refrigerator cars, unless the same has
been carefully inspected, officially, in
the city where the cattle were slaugh-
tered and in the place where it is offered
for sale. The butchers, the stockraisers
and the farmers, the latter being repre-
sented by the State grange, have appar-
emily united their forces to secure the
passage of the bill. 1t is claimed that
much of this meat is unwholesome; that
its use has almost driven the raising OF
fattening of cattle from the state; that the
butchers have been subjected to serious
losses; and, finally, that its almost uni
versal use has had a seriously detrimen-
tai effect upon the prosperity of the farm
ing population. On the other hand, the
claim is made that the exclusion of
dressed meats will increase prices to the
consumer and enable the home producers
Of cattle to combine with the butchers to
the serious and direct disadvantage, not
only of the people in the state, but
of their trade relations with the cattle
producing sections of the West.

THE DALLAS EAR

IF THE GAZETTE desired to promote the
welfare of Fort Worth only, this paper
would rather enjoy the shorteduess of
those rich men in Dallas who fail TO see
how essential to the real estate values of
their city is the state fair. Fort Worth
will have Texas Spring Palace in June J.,
and if Dallas should give up its fair just
as this city inaugurated its palace, the
unavoidable conclusion would be that
Dallas was losing its grip just as Fort
Worth was tightening its own on fortune.
But THE GAZETTE takes broader view
of the situation, and re..izes that col
lapse at Dallas would be hurtful to every
town in the state. Should Dallas
retrograde, confidence in the perma-
nency of all Texas towns might be
shaken. Or. it might be that men would
attribute to Fort Worth progress the ret
repression of Dallas, and this would be in
jury to Dallas pride as well as its pocket
The people of Dallas may depend upon
it that this city is going on in its march
forward, and if our sister town does not
wish to suffer by odious comparisons it
should not longer hesitate to raise that
money for the fair. 1t will cost Dallas
more than $40 ,000 if its fair is discon-
tinued just as the Texas Spring Palace is
inaugurated at Fort Worth.
