UNDER DEMOCRATIC RULE.

Under Thomas Jefferson, as Presl.
dem, the people had their rights full
ly guaranteed and for the succeed
ing sixty years the principles Of
Democracy, in the main, dominated
the affairs of the government. Then
agriculture, navigation and manufac-
lures, the pillars Of the national com.
monwealth',were duly prosperous. This
era stands without a parallel in the
history OF the world. Our merchants
and sailors, carrying the ensigns Of the
nation into every port, searched out
market for the various products OF
American industry. International as
we'll as interstate commerce flourished
and the surplus products Of the coun-
try found ready sale in the world.
When the Republican party came in
70 power, the United States was able
to command the respect OF the most
powerful nations of the earth. In
1860 she carried 66 per cent Of her
exports and imports, in 1882 she car
ried only Is per cent. and to-day the
flag OF her merchant marine has al
most been swept off the high seas, and
she has surrendered TO Great Britain,
along with he commerce, the control
OF the markets OF the world.

A New mmIgration Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O-The representa-

Representative Owen of Indiana is chair
man of the committee which has been en-
gagged in making an investigation into the
immigration affairs and will report the bill
which has the support of all members of
the house cOmmittee), as soon as possible.
In an explanation of the general features
OF the measure, Owen to-day said: "lt is a
new contract labor law. The old
law is so wretchedly Insufficient that ac-
cordlng to the testimony of the labor in
spectors themselves, twenty-five per cent.
OF the immigration now coming to this
country Is in violation of the labor contract
law. The statute was framed to meet the
condition of things that existed at the time
the law was passed.
The employees have now changed their
methods, and the law is unable to reach
them. 1t is practically useless, so we have
framed the new law. We have also very
much enlarged the inhabited clauses of
Immigrants" The bill to be reported is
by Owen and heretofore published. Poly
gamous persons are added to the list of
classes defined IN OWENS bill as not enti-
tied to be admitted into the United States
The tax upon aliens, which in Owens bill
was fixed at fifty cents, was increased by
the committee to one dollar.

A Sickening Sight.

M1NNEApoL1s, Dec. 10.-Mr. and Mrs. E.
Todd Of Sioux City, Iowa, and their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Slayton, of 14l1 University ave-
nue., South Minneapolis, were killed in
a most shocking manner this morning.
They had been waiting for the Great
Northern short line at East Minneapolis
intending to visit st. Paul. The train
pulled in on time, and as they left the depot
to cross the track and board the cars, the
Omaha train from st. Paul swung around
the curve, and before the trio could be
warned or could have gotten out of the
way. the engine was upon them. Mrs.
Todd was carried down underneath the
rushing iron horse and her body severed
in half and terribly mutilated. Todd
shared similar fate to his wife, his body
being bruised and mangled almost to an
extent beyond recognition. Mrs. Slayton
was caught by the cOwcatcher and hurled
a distance of nearly twenty feet into the
air, her body falling against passenger
coach of the Great Northern train which
was standing on the opposite track. The
remains of the victims of this horrible
affair were scattered along the track for
distance of nearly 100 feet, and it was
some time after they were collected before
identification could be established.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-"Within three weeks
we will sail into Chicago iu the first of our
air Ships" declared E. j. Pennington at the
Grand Pacific hotel to-day. Pennington,
who is the principal inventor of the air
ship soon to be tried for the first time, had
come to the city to attend meeting of the
stockholders of the Mount Carmel Aero
nautic Navigation company. which con-
vened at the hotel this afternoon. 1t is vir-
tually the first meeting of this big corpora
ton which it is said, has already paid up
capital of $2O,OO0,OOO. 1t is proposed to in
vest this great sum in the manufacture of
ships for travelling in the air.
Pennington, a neatly dressed, intelli-
gent and studiOus looking man of about
thirty years of age, explained that the first
OF the ships was nearing completion and
that plans for the trial trip over the coun-
try had already been completed. This
trial will occur in about three weeks. The
ship, ne said, would start from the place of
its manufacture at Mount Carmel, and

dozen newspaper representatives and any
of the stockholders who wish to accom-
pany them The vessel with which the
first trial will be made will be twenty feet
IN length. The cabin will be of aluminium.

Affirmed by the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. - The supreme
court of the United States to-day affirmed
the Judgment OF the circuit court of the
United States for the district of Minnesota,
refusing to grant a writ of habeas corpus
to Clifton Holden. This case has attracted
great deal of attention by reason of its
arising under the state statue forbidding
newspapers to publish accounts of
hangings. Holden was convicted of mur-
der, committed November %, 1883, and the
governor commanded the sheriff to hang
him conformably to the provisions of sec
ton Of an act passed in April 1889. This
act, among other thir gs, prescribed solitary
confinement, limited the number of per-
sons to be present at hangings, specially
excluding reporters and forbade newspa-
pers to publish any more than
mere statement that per-
soI,,.a son was haaged: The counsel
confinement in HOlden's case was expo
facto, and that as there was no saYfa.g
clause in the new law, he could not be
held under the old law. The court holds
that this last point is not we'll taken for
the reason that the statute repealed is only
inconsistent to prior enactments, and was
therefore good as to consistent enactments.
Mere questions as to exclusion of prisoners,
the court says, do not affect any substan-
tial right of a convict. Limitation as to
the number and character of those who
might witness the execution, and the cx-
clusion of newspaper men are regulations
which legislation, in Its wisdom and for
the public good, could legally prescribe.
The only part of the law that may be
deemed ex post facto is that prescribing
solitary confinement, and there is no proof
that Holden is SO confined. The court
cannot indulge in presumption that he
is in solitary confinement. rhe COVER
nor's warrant does not require any such
proceeding, Tor that is not among the pro-
visions of section of this act.
