see how the Trojan duchess, Lily Price,
was situated. The house is very large,
but squatty and homely, consisting OF
buildings around two great courts, outer
and inner, facing very large and hand.
some park full Of splendid old elms, and
looking out over a lake, to the great
monument of the first and great Duke,
There are two driveways, one to the
side of the house, the other goes directly
to the front from the monument, and
crosses the lake by fine large bridge.
To reach this we drove around through
the village of Woodstock which lies just
outside the park. Here Chaucer lived,
and the house still stands as he left 1t.
We saw in the street the rector of the
church, who refused to allow the people
to ring the bells when the new Duchess
came home, and so made the Duke his
mortal enemy. He tried to turn him
out of his rectorship and failed, but he
has forbidden either the minister or his
wife to enter the park, and planted trees
before his house, which has fine out
look over the park, so as eventually to
shut off the view entirely. The park
shows lack of care and the lake is nearly
overgrOwn by weeds easily explained by
the fact that the Duke is very short Of
cash; well cared for the grounds would
be magnificent. The reputed bower and
spring of Fair Rosamond" are in the
park, protected by an iron fence.

no crime that could give the superintend-
ent of the Sunday school clear title to
prosecute them.
But the Sunday school superintendent
was not to be foiled in that way if he
knew it, and he thought he did. happy
| thought struck him. A Sunday school
picnic is a solemn assemblage of MEM
bers of Sunday school. Indeed, it is
generally much more solemn than the
Sunday school itself Sunday schools
are organized for religious purposes, and
an assemblage of their members is a re-
| ligious assemblage. Eureka! He should
have them arrested for disturbing a re-
| ligious meeting. But the cruel County
court decided at the trial that Sunday
school picnic is not religious meeting,
and thus laid down notable and per-
petual principle as the corner stone of
picnic law, greatly to the relief not only
of the young artists in red, but also of
thousands of truly good persons who
have heretofore victimiZed themselves
by going to Sunday school picnics from
a sense of duty.
There is some ground to fear that the
Sunday school picnic is doomed to ex-
tinction if everybody who goes to them
from sense of religious duty will here
after stay away. But even in that event
the world gains more than it loses by the
decision. We could better afford to lose
Sunday school picnics off the face of the
earth than to have missed the pleasure
of knowing that where, twenty-five years
and five months ago, grim warriors were
riddling the oak forests of Appomattox
with mimic balls and staining the bright
green moss with blood, while the iron
shoe of the war horse echoed on the
wood roads gravel, little children are
shouting with laughter as the swing
gives them a plunge bath of green leaves,
while the squirrel hides his fall store OF
nuts in the hole made by cannon ball.

uNpEsIRABLE IMMIGRATION.

The annual immigration of nearly half
million of people who have no knowl-
edge of our language, no conception of
our government, no traditions or habits
of free institutions, no general intelli-
gence, ability or skill, and who come be-
cause they cannot hold their own else
where, is certainly one of the most
important of public questions. But it
is the one which receives the least
attention, because parties and Congress
are mortally afraid of alternating the
support of the most nnintelligent vote
in the country if they ask whether it is
expedient to foster its increase. The
Immigration during the year ending
June 30, 1890, amounted to 45l, ,2l9, an
increase of $4,000 over that of the pre-
ceeding year, when the numbers were
S,6l9, The Chicago Americd has been
looking at the details, and finds that
while this was the increase of the whole
year, that of the first six months of this
year was 24,536 more than that of the
corresponding months of last year. This
is not in itself an agreeable fact, because
the desirability of immigration lies in
the quality, not in the quantity.
But it appears that the whole net in
crease is one of the most undesirable
kind. The immigration from Germany,
England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland,
the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway,
and Switzerland has fallen off this yeaI
by 1881, while that from
Austro-Hungary, Denmark, France,
Italy, Poland, Russia, and all
other countries has increased by
60,53l. While the decrease of the
better kind of immigrants is nearly
$4,000, it is more than made up by the
increase of the worst kind. Such vast
and continuous augmentation of the
population by those who are in every
way alien to American life and char
acter and institutions is in no sense {
benefit to the country. 1t taxes un
reasonably its power of proper assimi
lation. The movement of our popula
ton is toward the cities, and the citiei
are ceasing to be distinctively American
We are no longer the rural republic o
our fathers, and the conditions whicl
made such republic the harbinger of {
better future for mankind are changing
Such facts, with the situation in parts o
the Southern States due to the war, ar,
among the circumstances which maxi
the problems of American statesman
ship exceedingly interesting. g.-Hmper

NOT READY FOR A CHANGE.

The subject of modifying the prohib-
tory law of Vermont as well as that of
abandoning the attempt at prohibition
altogether and substituting a system of
high license, received considerable atten-
tion in the recent campaign in that State.
The notorious fact was pointed out to the
electors that prohibition does not pro-
hibit in the larger places in the State
especially. Able moralsts urged upon
their consideration the argument that a
high license law would prove more
efficient in restraining and lessening the
liquor traffic than prohibition had been.
Such arguments, coming from men who
were entirely disinterested, were un-
doubtedly given some attention by the
great mass of the votesr.
The Burlington Free Press has made
canvass of the members of the Legis-
lature of Vermont who were chosen at
the recent election, and the result of
the newspapers enterprise in that direc-
tiOn forces the conclusion that the people
of Vermont do not desire to give up the
prohibitory law, not yet, at any rate.
Regarding total results, of all the ans
wers received from members of the next
house about siXty-three per cent. are
from those who positively oppose the
repeal of the present prohibitory law;
about nineteen per cent. are from DEM
ocrats who favor its repeal; about ten
per cent. from Republicans who favor
its repeal, and about eight per cent.
| from members, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, who, while many of them
| favor the present law are still undecided
as to what action they shall take. In
the Senate the returns indicate over
Nf NfaTVN
the present law.
That this statement of Vermont's Leg
| islature represents the present view of
the majority of the people there can be
no doubt. Why the majority hold this
position would be difficult to determine.
Possibly they have the impression that
if prohibition fails to prohibit it operates
to keep the liquor traffic smaller and less
| demoralizing to the community than it
would if it had in any way the recog-
milton of law. Certain it is that the
majority of the people of Vermont are
opposed to high license as are the dealers
in liquor in any State where low license
is the rule.
The will of the majority should be re-
spected. Possibly respect would be in
creased if it were not for the fact that in
other States the impression has some
prevalence that there are counties in
Vermont where people vote for the pro
hibitory law every time and generally
choose officers who will be lukewarm OF
spasmodic in its enforcement. If those
who have that impression would become
students of election returns they would
learn they are wrong. The Vermont
counties in which the officers are on
occasions the reverse of dilligent in
enforcing the law of prohibition arC
those which have elected members OF
the Legislature that are ready to vote
for change,-Troy Press (Dem).
