The special committee on immigration

has been busted for months past in look
ing up the violations of the alien con-
tract law, have finished their work and
found mass of testimony to report
Violations have been numerous every
where, especially in the northwest along
the Canadian frontier. They found at
Detroit that in the carpenter trade alone
500 Canadians were employed to the ex-
clusion of Americans, and among the
various occupations there where girls
were employed, that the larger number
are Canadians.

NEW YEARS WITH THE BIsMARCKs

Hartford Courant.
The new year hasn't opened altogether
happily for the great political firm of
| Biamarck & Son. The release of the
plucky old professor who came forward
/ and avowed himself the responsible edi-
tor of the extracts from the late kaiser S
diary published in the Rundschau, was a
very sensible thing in itself, but in the
circumstances it had inevitably the look
of a sober second thought and reluctant
back down. If Professor Geffcken was
not to be punished, 1t was a mistake to
arrest him in the first instance. and the
firm in question owes much of its great
ness to its heads reputation for not max
ing mistakes.
The Morier incident promises to COM
promise and impair this reputation even
more seriously than the Geffcken one
A British diplomat of very nearly the
first rank, an intimate personal friend OF
the late kaiser, a man Of the highest char
acter is accused in the semi-ofiicial Ger
man press of having furnished inforna-
zion to Marshal Bazaine about German
military movements. Count Herbert
Bismarck is believed to have personally
helped to give circulation to the calumny.
The accused diplomat produces a letter
from Marshal Bazine completely exhon-
Grating him. and calls on the count to
have his semi-otficial newspapers contra
dict the calumnious story. The count at
first refuses CURLY, not to say inSolently.
to do any thing of the sort Then, under
pressure, he SAYS that the story is not
credited by the German government,
The diplomat still insisting on an ade-
quate reparation for the outrage done
him. two of the semi-official German
newspapers point out what they consider
instances of bad French in the Ba-
zaine letter, and suggest that it is prob
ably forgery!
In the present condition of European
(and east African) politics it is difficult
to see how the junior member of Bis
marck & Co. can get out of the scrape
without eating humble-pie. 4 very
pretty meal of that dainty his newspa-
pers and his own petulance and indlscre-
ton have let HIM in for
But if 1889 has brought the Bismarcks
worry and bother. it has also brought
them an autograph letter from the young
kaiser. their master, in which he SAYS to
the head of the house: 1T is a Joy and a
solace to think that you still stand 10y
ally by my side with fresh strength to
enter upon the new year From my
whole heart / invoke upon you happi-
ness and blessings. but. above all, unin-
terrupted good health" Thus the sweet
is mingled with the bitter for the old
Prussian Junker, as for all the rest Of us.

Hurrah for the noble northwest. -Salina
Republican.
The EAGLE repeats the ''hurrah for the
noble northwest" but it cannot refrain
from remarking the mistake il made in
ITS recently attempted coup on the
speakership of the house. It's candidate
was all right, personally, but the mis-
take that it made was in that section
organizing and attempting to run rough
shod over the balance of the state de-
manding the election of its candidate
upon the ground of his being ITS choice.
That sort of thing can't win, as it ought
not.

THE QUESTION OF RAILROAD
CONTROL.

Boston Commercial Bulletin
The vexed and intricate railroad prob
lem which confronts the country ap-
pears to be no nearer equitable solution
than before the days of the interstate
commerce commission. This measure.
it was hoped, even if it did not accom-
plish all that its friends claimed, would
provide a remedy for the most serious
complaints and offer basis for I'D lust
ment But although the law has been
IN operation nearly two years, its results
have not been satisfactory, and by its
prohibition of pooling has largely con-
tributed to the reduction of railroad
earnings to their present low and I'M
profitable basis. The efforts of railroad
managers to secure a foothold not only
in territory naturally tributary to their
systems but also in that of rivals.
is primarily the cause OF
the trouble and has resulted in
such desperate cutting and violent fiuc-
tuation of rates as TO be injurious not on
ly to the railroads but to the business
community, to which stability OF rates Is
of great Importance. The inability 10
agree on rates or the bad faith of the
managers due TO the necessities of their
roads has so far prevented any settle
ment.
In this situation the suggestions OF Mr..
II. II. Porter, president of the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois. are of interest. Mr.
Porter. who is practical railroad man.
believes that while railroad managers as
a class do not mean TO he unjust to the
people any more than the people would
refuse their compensation TO the rail
roads. yet as some managers have shown
lack of fairness and consideration toward
their customers, the necessity of protec-
ton TO them is apparent. TO secure
this by a practical measure he
proposes an amendment TO the
interstate commerce law to authorize
the commission to fix maximum rates,
permit railroad corporations TO adjust
the traffic between themselves on terms
approved by the Interstate commission.
In this case the commission would in
some sense be court of equity 10 decide
not only between the railroads as a whole
and the people, but between the differ
ent railroads themselves.
1t is apparent that in this case all
would depend on the Judgment and in
tee rlty of the commission. but that
secure. the plan would appear to be
equitable and advantageous to both the
public and stockholders, much more
satisfactory than the old system Of pool
ing. The moral effect Of such a Gem.
mission would go far toward producing
harmony of interest and conserving the
valne of railroad investments.

Governor Ames, of Massachusetts, re-
commends to the legislature the extern
sion of female suffrage, enabling women
to vote for all city and town officers. A
little experiment of letting the ladies
show their ability to so to the polls and
vote with the men, and the attendant
spectacle that was presented during the
recent election in Boston. it was hoped
would be sufficient to have satisfied even
progressive q Massachusetts, in that mat
ter, but, instead, it seems to have ONLY
intensified the desire for more extended
and enlarged privileges on the part of
the strong minded sort, which influence
the governor is either only too willing to
yield TO or is unable to resist. Our no.
ton is that 1t is an awfully hazardous
experiment that the staid old Bav state
is making.

The Germ Theory in Fever.

DR.. Paul Gibier, the French physician
who some years ago inoculated himself
with cholera germs, has come to Amer
lea to offer his services TO this govern
ment to establish experimental stations
for the treatment of yellow fever. DR..
Gibier spent November and December
in Jacksonville, Florida, and believes
that he has secured the true germs of
yellow fever. He says that these are
much like the germs of cholera. but are
confined entirely to the intestines, and
persons attacked with the fever are as
truly poisoned as if they had eaten poi
soned mushrooms. If the government
desires, Dr. Gibler will establish expert
mental stations on the Keys off the
Florida coast, stock the island with
monkeys, and then proceed to expert
ment on them as the nearest animal akin
to man.

Governor Gordon of Georgia, compels

and that makes il all the pleasanter to
give him the hearty commentator he
deserves for his recent veto of the Ma
con school bill. The legislature at At
lanta was so far left to itself awhile AGO
as 10 pass a special bill providing that so
much of the school moneys of the CITY
of Macon as was derived from the taxes
on the property of white residents
should be appropriated exclusively to
the maintenance of the schools for white
children.-the schools for colored child
rem to get only the money contributed
hy the colored taxpayers. Governor
Gordon refused to be a party to any
such foolish and mischievous legislation.
he told the Atlanta lawmakers that the
bill was not only unconstitutional but
against sound public policy. Il was a
manly and statesmanlike thing 10 do,
and 1t should be noted and remembered
TO the governors credit.

State Encouragement to Tree Planting

State Encouragement to Tree Planting.
Meade Republican.
The legislature now IN session at To-
peka could do no one thing that would
benefit southern Kansas more than TO
enact a law placing a premium upon
the growth of forest trees along the
public highway. This could be done
best by making special exemption
from taxation for a certain number of
years from the time of planting of n
definite amount for all trees in thrifty
condition 1t could be done on the
same principle that to a mechanic is
exempt tools to fixed amount The
federal government hasi done much to
encourage the growth of trees in It's
timber culture act: and the state that
derives the most direct benefit should
extend encouragement in the same di-
rection. Southwestern Kansas needs
more trees to break the winter storms
and summer winds. The cold winds
which now sweep over the plains in
winter and the dry winds that scorch
vegetation in summer can only be
checked by trees. and the quicker these
are. grown the better for the state at
large as well as those resident.

Poetry and Old Age.

From the Chicago Herald.
An eastern paper thinks that writing
poetry is conducive to long life. 1t says:
The American poet, he who has the
truly divine afiiatus, is well nigh certain
to die in the serenity which a long lite
begets. Longfellow lived to be 70,
BRYANT was 81 when he died and Emer-
son 70. Whittier has just celebrated his
S1st birthday: Holmes will be so next
year, and Walt Whitman has long passed
the "three-score years and ten" The
spring poet, even, may live to green
old age-that is, if he keeps away from
the newspaper offices.
