Secretary Window has written plainspoken
and apparently muchneeded letter to the State
Emigration Commissioners. Those ridiculous
officials took it on themselves on Thursday to
ignore Colonel Weber, the Commissioner Sc
lected by the President to take charge OF
Immigration matters after April 10, and re-
fused to take any notice of his offer to lease
Castle Garden until perfected arrangements for
tho reception of immigrants could be made.
The Secretary informs them that it is his pur-
nose "to supervise the business of immigra-
fion through agents of this Department" In

The prescntment Of the Grand Jury on the
Sherins office sets forth that the rates charged
for conveying prisoners from the Tombs to the
courts where they tried are excessive No
who examines the figures and reads what the

The charge is s. 80 per capita, although :" the
conveyance of prisoners from the city prison to the
criminal courts consists in carrying them about a
distance Of quarter of a mile and they brought

PENSIONS AND THE FINANCES.

The New York Tribune, making
some figures on the recent pension
legislation of congress, concludes that
sit is time to say that this is going too
far. The measure Of proper expendit-
ure for this purpose has been reached,
If, indeed, it has not been passed al
ready. There is no active demand on
the part of the veterans OF the Union
for sums exceeding those already ap-
propriated, and those veterans are
sensible enough to know that appro-
priations exceeding half the entire
revenues Of the government, to the
benefit of small fraction Of the peO-
pie, might quickly cause the collapse
of the whole system for lack Of proper
approval and support"
Meantime, as the New York Herald
puts it, "there cannot be too much
emphasis placed upon the financial as
poets Of this pension business. 1t is
only by study Of the figures that its
enormity can be brought home to ev-
cry mind. Let us repeat them. Great
Britain pays for her army, her navy
the largest in the world-and her pen
sions $3.50, 100000 annually. France,
armed to the teeth, with navy sec
Ond to that Of England, pays annual
ly for army, navy and pensions $751;
100000. Germany is mistress of the
continent, with an army that is the
envy and the terror of modern civiliza-
ton, and yet army, navy and pensions
cost sll4,0OO,0OO annually. Russia
for the same service, pays every year
1923, 900, 900. In the United States we
have two or three divisions we call ''an
army" the merest germ OF "a navy"
but our army, navy and pensions cost
s2l0, 900, 900 year. And If the men
who rule the dominant party have
their way the sum will soon be
doubled"

BRILLIANT LECTURE WELL RECEIVED,
Rev. Madison @. Peters at the Press
byterian Church Thursday
Evening.
\ Good Audience II cid to Close Attention
to Learn How to "Make Things Co
Find Your Vocation and Think of
Nothing Else-Concentrution
THE LECTURE.


Rev. Madison G. Peters, now OF New
YORK, City, delivered very telling
and brilliant lecture upon "HOw to
Make Things Go, "at the First Presby-
terrain church Thursday evening, The
church was Tiled without crowding,
and the audience hung upon the words
or the lecturer from his opening until
he was seated.
Couched in language peculiarly the
lecturers own and stamped with AN
individuality at once magnetic and
charming, the remarks of the lecturer
Were, were as 1ull or point as an egg of meat.
There were no thoughts of startling
newness but he had gathered up all of
the philosophy and fact of the ages
and poured 1T out before him. 1t was
a lecture for young men, for men max
ing the start in LIES current, and for
men struggling for success in paths
yet UNEMPLOYED by their feet.
stripped OF its ornaments of meta
phor and illustration, the lecture
emphasized four points as the motive
powers in making "things CO." First,
the choice OF a vocation; second, tena-
city OF purpose and the possession of
one idea: third, honesty in all things:
and fourth, tact.
The choice of vocation is most inn
portant, for If the choice be faulty,the
mans life is wasted. He had better
never lived. What a man best likes
is what he should pursue. The pOpu-
lar notion that all honor is confined
with the professions is responsible for
the presence Of blacksmiths in pulplts,
hoTsemen at the bar and clerks in
nll.1I 70 M %
themselves and burden upon the
community. Better be a skllful shoe
maker, and make the best shoe in the
world, than useless minister.
Stick to your chosen vocation like
glue. Don't give aninch. Study YOUR
business until you have mastered every
detail. DO what you have to do in the
best possible manner. Make yourself
so perfect that your employers cannot
get along without you, but don't let
them think that you know it. Nine
tenthS of the SO-called genius OF to-day
is nothing more nor less than hard
work. The apprentice boy who grows
to be the manufacturer does it by pa
tient industry and saving his money.
There is no such thing as luck. Work
is luck. There is no more deSplcable
object than the weak minded fool who
is waiting for something to turn up,
instead of turning it up himself.
Many there are who care not how
they get money, provided they get it.
Better be d success and die without
dollar than a dishonest millionaire.
Better rest beneath modest little
stone, inscribed, Here Lies an Hon
est Man." than beneath granite pile
reared with the product of dishonesty.
No man can bea success in life with
out tact. He may possess talent but
never be able to use it. Talent finds
material-tact uses it.
The lecture was animated by many
brilliant passages and apt illustrations,
and the speaker closed with pleasing
story.

SOME PROMISING COLTS.
Two Strings at the Driving Park Being
Handled by Messrs. DOrr 4 SeeIey.

AS the time draws near for the sum-
mer meeting of the Illinois Valley Cir
cult at Ottawa considerable interest
is being awakened in the races and
the probable starters, winners, etc.
Flyers are coming in slowly now, but
in two weeks most If the horses will
be on the ground.
At present there are about thirty
horses at the track, but none of them
are very speedy. V. II. Seeley Is hand
ling several good racers, and among
the number is General Bedford, a six
year-old bay gelding, with record Of
2:34a. This horse will start in the 1884
class at Aurora next week.
A twO-year-Old colt by Harry +. can
show close to a three-minute clip.
A five-year-old bay gelding, son of
Earl McGregor, dam by Green's Ba-
shaw, is also promising horse.
A number Of very promising horses
are being driven by ]. S. Dorr and
there are several that have good marks.
AlmyrOn, by Leon. dam by Night
Hawk, can beat $50 and is the best
horse Mr.. DOrr has ever handled.
Next in the list is Big Liz, a five
year-old sorrel mare, by the son of AL
mont, dam by Romeo, and can beat
300 with four weeks work. 1t is eX-
pected this horse will go mile in 2:4O
this fall.
Suzerain, young horse owned by
Dwight Lawrence, is another very fast
colt with a mark Of 2:33a. Suzerain
has made Fights in nineteen seconds
and will beat 2:3O this fall.
The most speedy horse on the
grounds is Duke, a siX-year-Old by
Blue Vein, dam Legal Tender lwho
outlapped Raven Boy at 'Terre Haute
in 2:l7a). Duke has record of 2:30t
and may go mile in 2:2O or better
before the season is over.
Perhaps the best two-year-old ever
seen in this part of the country is
Jerome Taylor. by st. Jerome, dam
Red Wing. Red Wing is the second
dam of Kitty Murray, who is the dam
of Golden Prince-2:lSf. This horse
gives great promise of good work this
fall.
Pocahontas Maid, a six-year-old by
Pocahontas Boy, will trot in the "a
class throughout this circuit this sum-
mer.
Among the more promised young
sters is Highland Belle, three-year-
old by Wilkamont, dam Cora: three
year-old chestnut gelding by Rob Roy,
owned by Patrick Looney: a six-year-
old chestnut stud, by Blue Bull, and
another three-year-old by Col. BrisbOw,
dam daughter of Hamblet0nian y.

Among many other noted southern
Republicans who oppose the Lodge
elections bill is Gen. Malone, of Vir-
ginia, who says that sin order to serve
their own selfish purposes the leaders
of the Republican party seem deter
mined to make it utterly impossible
for any respectable white man in the
South to belong to the party: that the
bill will simply compel the white peo-
pie of the South to act on the law Of
Self-preservation without regard TO
political preferences or affiliations"

4 SQUARE ISSUE.

The farmers Of this state have been
protesting for over twenty years
against the crying injustice Of our
revenue laws, by which 10 per cent. of
all the state taxes are levied upon the
agricultural property. Instead Of di-
minishing, acknowledgements Of Repub-
Ian rule have only showed steady and
persistent increase OF this outrage.
Every years assessment has shown a
decrease in the aggregate value of
farm lands, and every year has as
steadily shown an increase Of the per

The Inter Oceans attempt to smooth
over Mr.. Blaine's last letter on his
reciprocity scheme as in entire har-
mony with the Mckinley bill is enough
to make a horse laugh. There is not

or line that Will open market for an
other bushel Of wheat or a pound of
pork" Could any attack on the bill
more effectively lay its weakness bare
to the bone? But Mr.. Blaine knows
full well that in attempting to compel
the Mckinleyites to pay the slightest
attention to his reciprocity demands
he is kicking against the pricks," and
they no doubt interpret his persistent
letter writing in favor of that scheme
as revealing his purpose to make his
stand for the presidency in 1892 on
that issue.

The latest movements IN the y. S.
Senate are regarded as unfavorable to
the passage of the Lodge bill through
that body. The fight the friends of
that measure made in the Senate eau
Gus was to give it precedence of the
tariff bill. In this they were fooled,
and on Saturday it was decided to give
the tariff bill the right of way on the
calendar. OF course with the sundry
civil service bill, the river and harbor
bill and two or three regular appro-
priatiOn bills yet to be wedged in be-
tween it may take until October to
dispose of the tariff alone, which GER
tainly leaves the outlook after that for
the elections outrage pretty scaly.
