MORE TROUBLE AT KosLYN.
A Colsred Marshal shot-His Assai1-
ant Arrested.

ELLENsBuReH, WASH, Aug. 6,-There
was another row in Roslyn last night,
which resulted In George Ogelsby's
shooting Marshal Brown (both colored),
1t is impossible so far to ascertain the
true cause of the trouble, as the men
were alone when the shooting was done.
1t is believed to be the outgrowth of the
stabbing affair of Monday. The shooter
was Immediately arrested and brought
to Ellensburgh tor salekeeping, although
there is no excitement over the affair.
The men were standing three feet apart
when the shot was fired. The pistol
used was "A caliber. The bullet en-
tered Browns right side, passing
through the lung, and is not necessarily
fatal. Pat Henry, who was stabbed by
Miles Mayo at Roslyn Monday, is still
alive. and will probably recover.

There is delay on reaching an agree.
ment on the amendment TO the land
grant forfeiture bill. 1t comes from the
position of several Southern members,
who now take the position directly tho
opposite from that laid down in thei;
campaign literature for the past few
years. They want action such as to
allow certain roads to acquire those
portions of the grants not yet earned,
but which, from the present indications,
may be earned in the near future. Tho
Northwestern states, which have been
the ones chiefly interested, are willing
to declare the forfeiture, but now that 1t

EVOLUTION IN POLITICS.

We find the following in the Boston
Herald: 1.-The report than the father of
Senator ingalls,, who lives in Haverhill,
will vote the Democratic ticket, indicates
that it isn't alone the sons of the fathers
that are kicking over the political traces.
1t is likewise the fathers of the sons"
This calls to mind an incident that is
said to have occurred in Boston a short
time ago. \ staunch old Republican of
the old school, who left that state sew
eral years ago, had just returned on a
visit, and in speaking of the political
preferment of the younger generation of
the Hoars. the Russells, the Everetts. ct
al. remarked the faithfulness of the
scions of the founders and lifelong lead
ers of the grand old party, when a friend
present dispelled the old mans illusion
by informing him that every one of
these were now rampant Democrats.
Another instance almost equal to the
first one mentioned, and in the same
line, is presented in this state in the case
Of the Rices, ather and son, of Fort
Scott. The father didn't go ever bodily
TO the Democrats, but he did the next
thing to it, he ran against his son who
was the Republican nominee for the leg

STOP THAT FOREIGN MOB.

The bureau of statistics has Just pub
lished a statement on immigration which
Is calculated to make the patriotic
citizen of this country scratch his head in
dc mathematical thought. During the
month of September, 1890, the arrivals
of Italians in this country numbered
1905, against only 1916 in September,
1889, and during the nine months ending
with September 30 the immigrants from
that land aggregated no fewer than
46,14S, against but Polls in the CORE
sp)nding period of last year.
A similar avalanche of Poles has Open
ed on this doomed land. The arrivals
from January ! to September 30 were
1881 against only 1887 in the same
months of 1889. The Hungarians this
year send delegation 17,777 strong. as
against 10, III during the same months
of last year; the Bohemian figures are
5,424 and 300; and the Russians, 30, 800
in the first nine months of 1890, against
%, 240 in the same months of 1899.
Here is grand total in only aoout
$4,000 human beings dumped, in all
their ignorance, squalor and depravity
in the United States. 1t is idle to mince
matters when dealing with this otTal
from the most backward nations of the
continent. They are no acquisition.
The asylum for the oppressed of every
cline" has been suicidally overworked
by the leniency of our laws, and we
shall some day find we have sown to the
wind and reaped the whirlwind.
In fact, we see it now i'm the heavily
populated centers of the east. This
foreign scum is converted into citizen
ship on short notice by political heelers
and peelers. No law seems able to cope
with the national calamity. The ballot,
that palladium and safeguard of the
country, is annually debauched by
political cliqueS and their imported
droves of allies.
These figures are simply startling.
Most of these alleged human beings are
not only the offscouring of the races
they represent, but have such a cargo of
clannish ignorance and besotted emnitv
to progress of every kind that genera
tons cannot change and cleanse them
into respectable patriots of the United
States. They are not only a deadly
menace TO enlightened strength Of Re-
publican institutions, but eat, like
canker worm, into the proves and
dignity of American labor.
Congress may grow gray in passing
laws against the importation of aliens
under contract. but it will never reach
the citadel of this danger until the ap-
palling tide of worthless immigration is
checked.

IMPROVING OUR GIRLS.

In one of the eastern colleges for
young women a novelty has been intro
duced that will tend to supplant the
girl Of spectacles and philosophy with a
self-reliant and practical graduate
Among the professorships is a chair in
needlework, presided over by an expert
lady, and the students are taken way
deep down into the mysteries of the
science. They delve far deeper than the
art Of sewing buttons and mending hose.
Their course reaches, an exchange says,
into the higher branches of royal silks
and laces worth their weight in gold.
When she has finished this very ex-
perienced line of training, she is compe-
tent to pursue a line of work in the
world not already crowded to suffocation
and which is most handsomely paid.
She can make tattered and valuable
heirlooms as good as new. Costly fab
RIGS, which have shown the tooth of
ime, she can deity restore to their pris-
inc splendor She becomes, in other
words, qualified to convert her learning
into good spot cash in field of feminine
industry for which there is an immense
demand in all the large cities of the
country.
If things keep on at this rate of prog
ress the American girl graduate will soon
be transformed from an angel of sweet
ness and light, who knows just enough
to make her absolutely worthless, into a
valuable human creature who can de-
clare dividends before the ink on her
diploma is dry.
