WHEN the veil of death has been
drawn between us and the objects of
our regard, how quick-sighted do we
become to their merits, and how bitter
" do we remember words, or even looks
of unkindness, which may have escaped
in our intercourse with them! How
careful should such thoughts render us
in the fulfilment of those offices of af-
fection which may yet be in our power
to performl for who can tell how soon
the moment may arrive when repentance
cannot be followed by reparation?

Senator Sherman's Blunder.

ST. natOr Sherman has committed a
strange b.under for one of his ripe ex-
parience in public life. by proposing q
bill putting the whole election machin-
cry of the States under State Canvass
ing and Congressional District Boards.
to be appointed Ivy the President,
| when congressman are to be elected.
The chief blunder of this move by
S major Sherman is in the fact that it
recalls his individual presence and adj
vice in aid of the INDUSTRIOUS Electoral
burglary in Louisiana in 1876. II COM
| p as honest citizens Of all parties to ir-
quire what Lesser men would do in
manipulating election returns when
John Sherman was capable of advis-
ing and aiding the browning fraud Of
twelve years ago. He bad ocular
demonstration and personal knowl-
edge of the De Soto mutlated returns,
and yet shut his eyes to the fraud and
made it steal the vote of a State.
That one record made by Senator
Sherman should be consigned to for
getfulness by every possible method
that he can employ and, above all, he
should avoid any and every act that
recalls its blistering stain upon his
public integrity.
Of course, no such bill as Senator
Sherman proposes will ever pass Con-
gress. Even if party necessity freed
a solid party vote in its favor. its rev.
dictionary aims would be defeated by
revolutionary action in the II 'use.
The proposition that a partisan Presi-
dent shall appoint State and District
Boards to appoint registers of voters
and election officers and pass upon
the returns when made, is simply a
repetition Of the fostering carpet bag
ard scalawag political system in the
South that is the darkest blot upon
the nations history, and no party and
no State would assent to it. Sherman
should pull himself together and learn
the truth that the war has been over
for nearly a quarter of a century,
Phi'odel phid Times.

The SWarming Immigrants.

The talk about restricting lmmigra-
| ton ONLY served to stimulate the rush
of foreigners to the United States last
year. The steamship agents circula-
ted the report that the ports might
soon De closed to immigrants and that
| they should come at once if they did
not want to find themselves shut out
entirely. They did come, 3S3 GOO land
| ing at New Yoak alone, an increase of
| 81 900 over the immigrant arrivals of
1887.
Germany furnished the largest quota
in spite of official efforts to discourage
;mm grafton. The German additions
| to tina A american population numbered
~ COO. The Emerald Isle furnished
il 600, which, in consideration of the
! fact that the population of Ireland is
only little more than one-tenth that
of Germany, shows that the impulse
| to seek u new home is still stronger in
Ireland than elsewhere. Next to the
Germans and Irish the Scandinavian
contingent was the most important,
30, 900 Swedes and Norwegians having
landed and sought homes chiefly in
the West.
The less st desirable immigrants came
from Russia. Austro-Hungary and
Italy. and as these three countries
furnished 81, 900 of the new arrivals it
is evident that the days of contract
labor are not over yet. How many of
this 81 900 will become permanent res
idents of ills country it would be hard
to say. Probably a large percentage
of them will remain long enough to
accumulate a few hundred dollars
each and return home to spend their
money. The Hnngarians, especially,
are disposed to follow the example of
the Chinese and not become. perma-
nent residents.
The experience of the past year in-
dicates that if the restriction of mmi-
grafton is to be talked about it should
be put in operation as soon as possible,
as mere talk only increases the evil
complained of. The steamship COM
pauies use the agitation as q means OF
crowding their VI sssrls at every trip,
and will continue to do so until the
ralk ceases or some restrictive law is
actually passed and enforced.

There is a provision in the State
Constitution which declares that all
amend menis tn that Instrument shall
be submitted to the people at general
election. That provision ought to be
so amended as to allow the submission
of constitutional amendments at spec
fal elections called for the purpose.
All the high license laws ever dreamed
of will not shut off the demand for
submission by the Prohibiionists, and
we, for one, are willing to crafty
them; but the question ought to b.
settled by the people at time when
there are no other complications, such
as are sure to interfere at a general
election. The provision aforesaid ought
never have been adopted, and the
sooner it is wiped out, the better for
the Democracy, and consequently, the
people, of Missouri. Mark that!

OF the IA Presidents elected since 1924 An

Henry Harrison, Franklin Pierce and L. S.

minority Presidents. The ignoramuses who
suppose that Benjamin. Harrison is the only

up American political history before trying
to inform others.
So says the "AIeck" who runs the

elected prior to 1883 received nlGJori-

they were given piuralities. We don't

who ought never been permitted to be
President. Harrison will be the only
President chosen by the Electoral Col
