THE- -LESSON T4rGHT

From the riots in the coke regions,
where thirteen strikers were killed and
twice as many wounded, and the causes
which led to the Italian massacre at
New Orleans, the moral is easily drawn
that one of the most pressing needs of
our country is closely restricted emigra-
ton Such relief must not be deferred
or the seeds of foreign anarchy and dis
ruption will have taken a hold too deep
to be dislodged. 1t is a significant fac
that of the men killed in Thursdays
riot not one could speak English, and
that they were Poles, SIavs and Italians
Then in addition they were grossly igno-
rant, and the worst representatives of
races which at the best are scarcely such
as we want in our land. The Huns, as
they are commonly called, are totally
unmindful of law. and vindictive to the
highest degree, while still lacking the
elements of reason and prudence. Such
being true it is not remarkable that
constituencies leaders easily inflamed
them into making the attack on the
Morehead works which resulted so dis
astrously. Nor is their wrath seeming
lyappeased by the lesson taught, but is
likely to break out anew with the re-
moval of the soldiery
1t needs but little argument TO con
vince any man that such people can
never make good citizens, and that the
sooner action is taken to rigidly prohib-
it them from coming the better it will
be in the future. Nor alone should 9th
ers be prevented from coming. Those
here should be returned to the govern
ments that nourished them in supersti-
ton, ignorance and vice, and allow their
royal governors to bear the brunt of
their deprayity. But few of them are
naturalized, and none ought to be, and
America is bound by neither moral or
civil code to maintain an asylum for the
filth of other nations. These men were
brought here because they would work
cheap, but it is doubtful if on the whole
the experiment will pay considering the
trouble they have caused A mans
economic value is measured by his val
ue as citizen, and the sooner employ
ers discover this truth the sooner will |
business revive. Each one of these ig-
norant Huns displaced an intelligent
American born laborer.
Infrequent is the trouble precipitated
by American born citizens, but to the
pauper emigration of Europe can we at
tribute by far the major part of our riots
and lawlessness of every character The
events of the last few weeks with their
attendant results, furnish many cogent
reasons why the influx of emigrants,
especially from Southern and Southeast
ern Europe should be virtually prohibit
ed Prohibit the bad of all nations, and
such action viii practically stop all emf ;

HILL -AND PROTECTLON.

Governor David B. Hill, of New York,
is willy and has an eye on the trend OF
the current. He was invited to be pres
ent at a meeting of the Single Tax
League at Cooper Union the other
night, which was addressed by the
Hon. jeremiah" Simpson in the inter
est of free trade. David B. did not 60
but sent letter which read in part
thus:
II cannot attend the meeting, because
I have no sympathy with its professed
purpose. Ihad supposed that my opin-
ions upon the tariff question had been
so frequently expressed in public that
nobody could expect me consistently to
attend meeting intended to promulgate
the doctrine of free trade They greatly
mistake public sentiment who assume
to construe the revolution last autumn
at the polls as popular manifestation
in favor of radical tariff legislation. As
a Democrat [ must respectfully decline
to support any movement, no matter by
whom instigated or championed, having
for its purpose the adoption of any such
suicidal policy as is sought to be pro
NOTED by the meeting to which you
have invited me-
The reading of the letter was greeted
by storm of Kisses. David evidently
sees which way the wind is blowing and
intends to be on the safe side in 1892,
when he will grapple with the stuffed
prophet of William street in contest
for the Democratic nomination. He
thinks protection will win, and there is
where he will stand just as long as he
thinks so.

THROrGH THE Sr4rF

The elections throughout the state on
Monday were in high degree pleasing
to the Republicans. The result shows
that Ohio is still largely Republican and
that the old party has already begun to
train for the fall campaign. From every
point the good news comes. and many
Democratic strongholds We're raided.
The spring is but foretaste of the fall
when Mckinley viii carry the banner.
Cincinnati elects the whole Repub-
lican ticket by large majorities. ranging
from 100 to 5000. and p out of 30
members of the legislative board. The
victory is great.
Cleveland elects Mayor Rose and
whole Republican ticket, with exception
Of treasurer, by ma iorities of about 1900
In Columbus the fight was made on
the question of open saloons and law
and order The lawless element won,
defeating the Republican candidates by
maiorities ranging from 100 to 500.
At Canton. a strong Democratic city
and Major MeKinley's home, the Dem
ocracy was entirely knocked out
saving only their Mayor by a
pitiful majority. The Republicans got
everything else. Canton gave but an
intimation of what she will do this fall
when her distinguished citizen is elected
Governor.
The Democratic city Of Hamilton.
Gov. Campbell's home, went back on her
traditions on Monday and laid out the
Democracy cold in death. Governor
Campbell walked the streets all day but
could not stem the tide.
Toledo. Dayton, GAINESVILLE, Youngs-
town. Akron, Urbana, Tifin, Wooster.
Steubenville, and Mansfield all gave
tremendous Republican victories in
spite of the fact that part of them are
usually Democratic The Democrats as
usual carried Lima, Sandusky, and
Newark, also Findlay 1t was verita-
bic April avalanche that overcame the
Democracy, and all that is needed is to
keep it up. They are now started on
the run.

THE sharp reduction in the price OF
sugar effected by the Mckinley bill last
week is welcomed by the Democratic
press as conclusive evidence that the
tariff increases the price of commodities.
No one contends that it does not, but at
the same time raises the wages of those
who make those commodities. This is
is the object of protection--fai prices
and fair wages. Give the producer a
chance. Don't legislate entirely in fa-
vor of the monied consumer.
1t is noticeable that our Democratic
friends say nothing in this connection
of the Mills bill, which actually raised
the duties on sugar. The principle of
protection is that tariff goes hand in
hand with the revenues of a country
and the possibilities of their develop
ment. On articles which we cannot pro-
duce, we want no tariff. Sugar is one
of these. The few sugar producers there
are in the country lose nothing, as a
bounty is provided for them. The actu-
al saving to the country by this clause
of the Mckinley bill is the difference
between this bounty and the reduction
in the price of sugar, and will amount
to S50,000000 per year.

THE "Quick Meal gasoline stove i:
the latest and most improved stove OF
this character. In addition to other i'm
provements, it has the automatic safety
feeder, which effectually guards against
accidents. To light the stove you move
a hand or indicator from closed" to
"open," remove cap from the burner,
and hold lighted match over the burner.
The fame catches, gradually becomes
stronger, and there is no relighting. The
cap placed on the burner after the gaso-
line is shut off causes the unconsumed
gas in the tubes to be burned, doing away
entirely with the Objectionable bad smell
The oven burner on this stove is large
and has more capacity than two common
burners. All the parts are well made,
and the best material used-heavy tin
and sheet steel outside and brass inside.
It is the most convenient, practical and

THE TTALL4g TROUBLE.

In these days of peace the bare posi-
bility of war is tremendous sensation.
The action of the Italian government
last week in recalling its Washington
minister, Baron Fava, excited intense
interest throughout the whole civilized
world, and the news of the day since has
been little more than an interchange of
opinions on this subject. The lessons
of the incident, now that all talk of war
is past, are several. The first is the old
one that Secretary James G. Blaine is a
great statesman. His courteous and
dignifed, yet firm and conclusive reply
TO the demands Of Italy forced that
country to retreat from her first posi-
ton, and to come to reasonable terms.
Mr.. Blaine based Lis argument on the
Constitution of the United States. The
second lesson of the dispute is, that de-
spite the alleged inability of Italy TO
comprehend and appreciate the relation
that our national government bears to
the individual States; and despite the
cry of the press of monarchial Europe
that herein is fatal defect in our insti-
tutions, yet our apparent slowness to get
at the cause of this trouble is no proof
of the inadequacy of our system, or that
in the long run we would settle this or
kindred matters better if we had a cen
tralized rather than federated form of
government. Our Constitution exists
for ourselves and not for the accommo-
dation of foreign nations. If they can
not deal with us as quickly as they
might with sister powers of as small area
and as close union as themselves, it is
no concern of ours. We are in no way
bound to shape or change our institu-
tions to suit their convenience. If, as
the impetuous and imperious Premier
Rudini has said. he has nothing to do
with the Constitution of the the United
States, he had better let it alone.
The one fact that is emphasized be
yond all others by the recent trouble is
our inexcusable and deplorable lack of
naval armament. We have but one
war ship, and no coast defenses. Italy's
splendid vessels might blockade our
ports and stop our immense commerce,
might even enter our harbors and bonn
bard our cities with nothing to hinder
their passage but few small guns and
some out-of-date forts. In this question
it is folly to point to our deeds in the
Rebellion. Then we were pitted against
an enemy more utterly without the pos
sibilitieS of equipment than ourselves.
1t is equally folly to urge the civilized
tendency of the age. If it is to their ad-
vantage to go to war, nations are apt to
overlook the moral tendencies of the
age. Even without bloodshed we might
by warlike opponent be put to fearful
anxiety, untold expense, and lasting
shame. To avoid these things, to avoid
even the remote possibility of war, to
take place of honor among the powers
of the world, it is absolutely requisite
that the United States furnish them
selves with a navy second to none ailoat.

ORIGIN OF LA GRIPPE.

Prof Tessier, of the medical faculty
of Lyons, has returned from Russia,
whittier he was sent last March to take
evidence upon the course of influenza
there and the various conditions of its
evolution. He found that influenza is a
growth of Russia soil, and when not a
raging malady, is a Sm5uldering one.
The way people live in winter locked up
in heated houses, the flatness of the SOIL
its consequent bad drainage and univer-
sal sodden condition when the April
thaw begins; filthiness of the farm Yards,
the village streets and the rivers, which
become swollen. and on falling leave
putrid mud behind-all conduce to
make influenza endemic. Its microbe is,
in fact, to be found in this mud. Dr.
Tessier calls it streptO bacillus. What
is peculiar about this disease is the alli-
ance with this bacillus of penumoeoccus,
which also lives in Russian marshes,
river mud and village pools.
