B.A. Bonzone has written very sensible pam
phlet for general circulation on the taxi: Are tne
italians o menace to the United StatesP" HIS
conclusion Is that great injustice has been done
to this class Of immigrants by representing them
a. outcasts Of society," 40 the outpourinS of lss'
ian prisons and Al paupers." II Ia certain that
tho majority Of these immigrants come from lands
in the interior of Italy and that the force OF asr
cultural laborers in the United States can be re-
cruited advantageously from this source. In
the lower part of South America there are great
swarms Of Italian colonists tling small farms
and forming O. most industrious and peaceaole
norton Of the population. The modern prosperity
Of the Arrentine may be largely attributed to I'M
migration Of this class. Mr.. BonEone does not
make use OF the argument, but his case Will oe
greatly STRENGTHENED by reference TO the Italians
Of the Plate countriss-the most useful and Ia
borious contingent which Europe has sent over
to the southern half Of this continent.

The people Of Jersey City owe It to themselves
and to the cause of good government TO make
strenuous endeavor TO defeat the ring candidate
for Sheriff, and to elect the excellent candidate
named by the Republicans. 1t Is not party
question, but q question Of decent and honest ad-
ministration The candidate put up by the
Democrats Is q mere tool Of the present Sheriff.

of Hudson County. His election would perpetuate
the existing fragrant abuses. With the increased
chances Of an honest election afforded by the new
Ballot Law, union OF all the Intelligent anu
right-thinking people Of Jersey City against the
ring will have an excellent chance Of success. The
effort is we'll worth the making.
Life is really too short to correct all the mis-
statements, intentional and otherwise, which the
success of the American system In the Mckinley
tariff has provoked the disciples OF tile CoDdeh
Club to utter. Here, however, are couple OF
examples, which may we'll be noticed for the en-
enlargement of the others. 1t has been very
widely declared, BY Free Trade propagandlsts,
that American manufacturers have always TWO
prices for their goods, low one for the foreign
purchaser and high one for the American mar
ket. The Ann Arbor Agricultural Company, OF
Michigan, has been cited as q typical sinner In
this respect, as selling farm implements to South
Americans at from 10 to so per cent less than 10
the farmers of the United States. Well the fact
is rs stated by the manager, that there Is not
word of truth in the charge, that the company
does not discriminate in prices between the home
and foreign markets, and that, as matter OF
fact it has never sold single implement in Span
ish America at any price. Again, 1t lis INDUS
triOuSly declared that prices are DelnS BeneradS
marked up in the home market since the passage
of the Mckinley bill, and that carpets, for one
thing, have thus been advanced % per cent.

sophie neighbor, The Evening Post" would say,
il is an old and well-founded rule that when
party is found guilty Of even two such misrepre-
sentations, all statements which it makes for the
Advancement of its theories are justly regarded
with suspicion, that In Short the presumption is
against their truthfulness.
Having kept himself judiciously out Of sight
for several weeks, Mr.. Beatte suddenly bulges
into view as the euogist Of his own STRENGTHENING
operations. This, we suppose is one of the signs
that Election Day is near at hand, but il the Com
missioner has any thoughts of making himself On
issue in this campaign we advise him to think
again.
An interesting, II not important, bit of news is
waited to Our ears from the city Of bridgeport 1t APP
pears that Bridgeport is SO far advanced in civiza-
ton as to have enjoyed lately the sensation pro-
duced by six-days' gO-as-you-please pedestrian
contest. Five weary men were in it at tine finish,
and SO great the interest aroused by the
alleged entertainment that something over 500
