The Immigration Problem.

And still they come. Nearly
4, 800 emigrants landed at Castle
Garden yesterday, a pretty fair
days business and quite indicative
of the steady rush from the Old
World to the New. 1t is evident
that, Notwithstanding all that has
been said in this country during
the past few years about the Wis
dom and deslrability, if not neces'
sity, of reduction in the number
of immigrants for q time, there will
be as large an influx this year as
ever before. The problem Is be-
coming a very serious one. The
public lands are rapidly being ex'
hausted, and every city in the coun'
try is crowded with idle men-a
surplus of legitimate and honest
labor. IL is a condition of national
indigestion. We are taking In an

A Priests Outrageous Conduct.

The citizens of Raleigh, n. c.,

strangely lately, and was at one
time insane. lie is 30 years of
age.
HIS victim IS a slender, delicate
girl, small for her age, and both
she and her father are Catholics.
She was the organlst of the church.
Boyle told her the music for the
organ for sundays service was in
his room, and told her to 90 there
after it. She did so. The poor
girl screamed and Boyle was galet
for a little space of time. Then be
renewed his assault, and when the
girl again cried out placed a re.

death ordered her to keep quiet
His treatment of the girl was
horrible in its brutality. How she
was ever able to get to her home,
half mile away, IS a marvel. On
arrival there she told her family of
the assault. Mr.. Whitaker hurried
to the mayors office and applied
for a warrant charging boyle with
assault. He returned home and

THE ONE CENT POSTAGE IDEA.
MR.. WANAMAKER THINKS BETTER
POSTAL SERVICE MUCH MORE
IMPORTANT.

There are indications of at.
tempts to bring public sentiment
to bear upon the authorities in be-
half of one cent postage. Many
corporations having large CORE
spondence put into their letters
small slips bearing the following;
care you not In favor of one
cent postagei A little effort on
the part OF each one of US will SO.

One of these was shown to Post

Department mail showed any re.
Spouse to the suggestion.
"Not yet" he said. SO far as l

"Are you in favor OF reducing
letter postage to one cent, or will
you recommend It'll" was asked.
"When l was appointed" said
the Postmaster General, speaking
slowly, "I was impressed with the
idea that penny postage, as 1t is
termed, was very desirable, and l

thought it ought to be established

the poor condition of the service
one cent postage receded into the
dim distance. When l discovered
that there are many places in this
country which receive q mail but
once a week, and that not always
regular, 1t seemed TO me that what
was needed most by all concerned
was frequent and regular service

Postage in this country is as low
as that OF any country In the

DEMOCRATIC P-0TECTl0NISTS
NOT WANTED.

The death of w. II. Barnum OF
Connecticut, who was Chairman of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, has afforded tue free trade or
gans an opportunity OF lecturing
the Democratic patty upon the
necessity of taking a bold stand in
favor of the pro. British policy that
was advocated from thousands OF
Democratic platforms during the
late Presidential campaign. Mr..
Barnum, who did not share MT.
Clevelapd's Views on the question
of free trade, did his best to keep
up the pretence that the Demo
cratic party believed in protection
to a certain extent. This made
the free traders very angry. They
are now demanding that MIR. Bar
NUNS successor shall be q thor
ough believer in free trade-One
who will throw his whole heart and
soul into the work of making the
Democratic party thor Oughly anti
prOtectiOnist.
There is little doubt that the
free traders will have their way
and that the next Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
will be a man who will do his best
to carry out the wishes OF the anti
protection element In the party. IL
is we'll that this should be 30. II
will help to make clear to Demo-
cratic prOtectionists that they can
not consistently help by their votes
to fasten on the country a policy in
which they do not believe.
The line between the party OF
protection and the party OF free
trade ought to be drawn so dis
tinctly that it will be impossible
for free traders and pIotectiOniShi
to be found in the same polltlca
fold. The selection of a pronounced
tree trader to fill the position mad G
vacant by the death of Mr.. Bsrnuln
will aid IN bringing about this po'
litical divorce. There are still thou
sands of protectionists who are
allied with free traders. We ex-
pect that long before the next
Presidential election the latter will
have got so complete a control OF
the Democratic party that protec'
tioDlsts will be driven out of it BY
the wholesale.
When that is done every vote
will tell for or against the Amer
lean policy that won so conspic'
nous a victory last November.
Pronounced as that victory was It
did not by any means show the
full strength OF the protection sem
timent. Many protectlOnists voted
for Grover Cleveland because they
were persuaded that free trade was
not the issue that was to he de-
cided by the election. We believe
that three years hence very few
OF those believing in tile policy OF
protecting American industries will
cast their ballots for free trade

SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES.
The Park Police Are Knocked Out
by the Board.

ny the bOarU.
After several days of unremitting toll
in the office of the secretary OF the park
board, during whic-1 the thrObbing Of
their thinkers could be plainly heard
IN the council chamber. Commissioners
Boardman, Ingenhutt and Folwell, COM
posing the boards committee on judi
ciary, have succeeded in coming to a
decision as 10 what changes should be
be made in the rules governing the ac-
ton of the board. Among the most
startling changes which they will
recommend is the placing OF hoes,
spades, rakes and other agricultural
implements in the hands of the aristo-
cratic park police. This is practically
the abolition of the park police, and the
empowering of the park employees with
police authority.
Among other amendments which the
committee will recommend is one which
will make the acquiring of lands for
much simplify the condemnatOry pro-
ceedings in such cases. Another change
is in the matter Of election of president,
secretary and attorney, who are, under
the new regime, to be elected annually.
The secretary is also to be. empowered
to administer the oath of Office and to
make annual reports.
The limit of issuable bonds will be
raised from S25, 900 to $4,000, fines col
lected in police court for park Offenses
will be turned into the park fund, and
the board is to have power to sue and to
be sued. There are other minor
changes which will aid in making the
board an able and efficient body, and
will aid materially in the work it is
called upon to perform.

VALE. FUGILISM.

The eagerness with which the clear
headed business methods and all-around
veform administration has jumped at
the opportunity to stop boxing exhibit
lions because of the antics OF some
drunken toughs is rather amusing.
Minneapolis has had many boxing con-
tests. Some were worth the money
paid to witness them. and some of them
were not. There has been no real bru-
tality connected with Them, and no one
has ever been injured. AS much can
hardly be said for any other line
nf sport which embraces exercises of a
more violent character than crOquet,
while the crowds that have attended
them have been as orderly and respect
able as those Of large political meetings.
Tie row at the Washington rink Tues
das night was confined to one or two
men who made all the noise, and did all
tho fighting there was, while the want
of police protection should come in for
part of the blame. and as public exhibit
lions are not generally suppressed be-
cause some scciIe u. disorder occurs in
4 single instance, boxing contests might
be permitted on the ground Of con-
sistency.
However, every one is heartily dis
gusted with the management of these
so-calIed exhibitions in Minneapolis. So
let the law before the legislature, which
almost forbids the display of boxing
gloves in store windows. be passed and
enforced. No one will care particularly.
