COLUMBUS, April 14.-Quo warranto

THE PROCESSION MOVES ON.


New York Sun.
The season of greatest activity in for
eign immigration has now begun, and
the indications are that the number of
foreign settlers arriving during the year
will be extraordinarily large. So far,
the arrivals have been nearly one-third
more than in the first three months of
1889, and April shows still greater
proportionate increase.
The largest immigration on record
was in 1882, when the number of arrivals
was about $4,000 In 1889 it was
about Al, 800; and for 1890 Superin-
tendent Jackson, of Castle Garden,
thinks it not improbable that the total
will approximate that of eight years ago,
even if it is not greater.
AT any rate, the foreign immigration
for this year is likely to exceed the aver
age for the last ten years, and the total
for the closing decade of the century
may be estimated at 100000.
We see, therefore, that it appears to
the eyes of Europeans, this country still
offers undiminished, nay, increasing at
fractions. They still look upon it as
opening to them the most tempting field
for development.

DENVER. Col, April 14.-Col. Stanton,
commander of the recent exploring ex-
pedition in the Grand canon of the Colora-
do river, yesterday made public some
interesting precious mineral discoveries.
which his party made in that far-famed
canon. Mr.. Stanton has a fine selection
of specimens, consisting of all the we'll
known precious minerals, as well as
coal, marble, etc. He says that 400
miles of the canon shows wealth of
the precious mineral. The steep walls
of the canon show quartz veins in places
and essays from specimens obtained on
the trip down the river demonstrate that
these veins are of remarkable richness.
The action of the water has worn smooth
the sides of the canon, and the vein
matter is clearly
Discernsble to the Naked Eye.
Placer gold is found nearly the entire
length of the river. Every point panned
produced color, and in places the bars
were found to contain coarse gold in
surprising quantities. In one place,
south of Lees Ferry. veins were found
which had evidently been developed in
a crude way by the Indians, perhaps by
the now extinct race of A2tecs. Mr.
Stanton says the placers could be easily
worked, because there is no lack of
water facilities. Col. Stanton is of the
belief that he has relocated the bonanza
discovered by Maj. Powell's expedition
in 1860

the idolized. When love outstrips iudg-

needs fail to bring happiness; for happi-
ness comes mainly by wisdom in such
form as is best suited to the individual,
and to love beyond reason is to love to
