THE MICHIGAN SENATE.

The Republicans in Michigan do not like
the idea of losing one-half the electoral vote
of that State in 1892 through the act Of a
doubtful majority Of the present Legisla-
ture. The doubtful majority arises in this
way. The Senate as originally elected con-
tanned an equal number of Republicans and
Democrats. There were several members
elected 10 represent Industrial issues who
held the balance of power. Enough of
these members voted with the Republicans
to enable that party to organize the Senate.
But one day when several Republican Sen
ators were absent, the Democrats turned
out two Republicans and thus obtained a
majority. the bill to elect Presidential
electors by Congress ional districts was then
passed. While the Michigan Senate pos
sesses the authority given to all bodies of
its character, to be the judge of the Qualif-
cato rs of its own members, an appeal to
the Supreme Court Is contemplated in the
present case. The Republicans propose to
ascertain exactly what this provision of the
Constitution means. Does il give a legisla-
tive body right to unseat any of its men,
bers without regard to the factS'of election?
They claim that any other two Republican
Senators might have been turned out with
as much show Of reason as was presented in
the case Of the two who were turned out.
Ii the case is taken to court the decision will
be looked for with considerable interest.

FREE SPEECH AND ORDER.

NJ. Emile Zola is a critic of French affairs
who has never been willing to take his share
in helping to conduct them. He finds fault
with the Government for preventing the
meetings of the cOal-minerS at Fourmies,
and for making an armed demonstration to
Overawe the strikers. Like most literary
men, who have had no practical experience
in dealing with the masses, NJ. lola is apt TO
be superficial in his political doctrines. he
says that in England the miners would have
been allowed TO meet and their fury would
have passed off through the safety-valve Of
angry orationS. Whereupon an American
observer cOmmends the novelist and advises
the French to adopt free speech as the pal
ladium of liberty.
1t would possibly surprise this writer to
learn that neither in England nor in the
United States, nor anywhere else, is abso-
Lutte free speech tolerated by law. No man
in this country is allowed to utter language
which is calculated, in the opinion of the
authorities, to lead TO a breach Of the peace,
No man would be suffered to get up in Mar
ket street and advocate the sacking of
banks or the destruction of buildings by
dynamite. If any crank had tried to de-
liver an Grafton advocating an attack on
President Harrison during his recent visit
he would have found himself in the hands
of the police before he had finished his sec
ond sentence. So in London. when persons
lately broke out in riot, AMI harangued the
populaee in favor of the abolition of prop
erty, while their followers threw stones and
broke windows. the speakers were arrested
and jailed. They complained that free
speech was snare and deIusiOn.
In the freest Of all free countries speech
is only free when its use does not directly
provoke outrages. Free speech is limited by
the right Of every one to enjoyment of life,
liberty, property and the pursuit of hapDi-
ness. When the two clash one must give
way, and it is better that an orator should
cease his harargue than thata mob should be
goaded to Tapine arson and murder. We
have no political cOnSDiracies in this cOun-
try because everybody is free to hire a hall
and denOunce our system of Government to
his hearts content. But these are very diff
ferent from the cases when speech would
raise mobs and lead TO the destruction of
property.
Some Frenchman should have answered
lola with citations froRi his own novel of
"Germjnal." In that book some orator,
more infammatory than the others, rouSes
tie men to fury. they sack buildings, com
nit murder, destroy the pumps. which
cause mines to be flooded and 90 on with
the work Of destruction until troops arrive
and queEch the uprising in blood.

"sTARRING" 1IoKINLEY.

The New York Times thinks it a mistake
on the part of the Republicans to give Nc
Kinley so much prominence in the political
campaign Of the present year. II is urged
that if Mckinley had been allowed ''to 60
his Own.way unheralded and unrecognized"
by other leaders the excuse might be made
if he should be defeated that it was an off
year, in which State elections have no
national significance. 1t appears that the
Republicans are not hunting excuses of that
kind. They expect TO carry Ohio, ana on
the tariff issue A tariff which derives all
the revenue the Government needs from
duties on articles Of foreign product which
compete with our own industries is certainly
better for the country than a tariff which
derives the Government revenue from arti-
cles we are compelled to import. In one
case this revenue is paid in large part by
foreign competitors for the privilege of en-
tering the American market, and in the
other the revenue is paid by orr own people
for articles we cannot produce ourselves.
The Mckinley tariff makes a straight issue
with Mr.. CleYeland's tariff for revenue only,
and next year the people will choose be-
tween the two.

RECIPROCITY.

An Iowa free-trade paper says: Blaine
has undertaken to bambooZle the people
with the notion that they are to be bene-
flied by free trade with half dozen sparsely
populated countries of low civilization and
spondingly few wants, while commercial
intercourse with the great nations of the
world viii be restricted as faras possible by
excessive duties" good rule to follow in
trade is to search for market for things we
have for sale. The great nations of the
world produce in excess the manufactured
things we have TO dispose of. These
sparsely settled countries do not. AT pres
ent they purchase their manufactured goods
of Europe. The reciprocity scheme pro-
poses exceptional tariff rates in favor of
American goods in return for free markets
for certain of their products which we do
not produce. The United States will thus
make market for many millions of the
products of American farms and factories
without exposing a single American indus
try to foreign competition. Free trade with
the great nations would food our markets
with the kind of goods which reciprocity
makes market for in South America and
the West Indies

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

At about the time the people of the United
States were becoming convinced that a
check should be put upon the immigration
of a vicious element an event occurred
which intensified the growing opinion. The
New Orleans uprising seemed to become a
necessity by the organization of criminal
foTeiga-bOrn residents to subYert the legal
authorities. There appears no question Of
the nature and purposes Of this organization.
It's object was to extort money from citizens
who could be frightened into the purchase
Of. immunity by threats. Before the upris-
ing, before the murder of Hennessy italian
residents OF wealth had appealed to the au-
thorities for protection from this organiza-
tron There was little difference in the
methods between the Malta Of New Orleans
and the brigands of Italy The former
threatened assassination while the latter
captured their victims by force and held
them until ransom vas paid. The peo-
pie Of the United States in a short time
dealt with these ruffians in an effective way,
but at the first movement against them there
is a concerted cutlery in certain journals de-
signed apparently to make the work more
difficult Tie demand is that the United
States shall be forced BY European public
dents a degree of protection that it does not
extend over its own people. We are thus
required to give foreign residents excep-
tIonal protection from punishment for their
own crimes. 1t is, perhaps, fortunate for
the United States that the demand has been
made. The doctrine Of asylum to the oD-
pressed of all nations which was making
the United States the dumping ground for
the criminal element Of the old countries

abuse Of hospitality, coupled with the Euro
pean demand that their refugees shall be
especially favored by treaties and laws, has
in a few months worked a great change
upon the public mind. The country Is now
prepared for laws governing immigration
which would not have been tolerated few

THE FEE SYSTEM.

a number Of persons who object to paying
for programmes. to fleeing ushers and like
usages long established in London theaters,
conceived the idea of attending in body
and making ONE kind OF demonstration that
would deter the management from allowing
such exaetions. The plan did not work well.
At the first sign of disturbance the would-be
reformers were hustled out of the theater.

He Says He Is the Victim of a Black
mailing Scheme.
Alexander Mcpherson, tried yesterday
before Judge Trout for obtaining money
under false pretenses. was found guilty as
charged by the jury last night. Mcpherson
is quite well known in certain political cir
eles. but Of late mas not prospered overweIl

to represent that he had the means of seeur-

furniture, books, stationery, etc, which he
could dispose Of at full value. All he
needed was partner with $500 in cash.
He found such partner in Mrs. Riordan,
out once in possession of her $500 that was
the last heard of him till she hunted him up

LOTTERY RAID.

Chinese Den on Howard Street De-
sceBded Upon.
Last evening Officers Crockett, Dillon and
Finn made fell swoop on a Chinese lot
terry being conducted at the rear of the sa-
loon, 537 Howard street, and arrested three
Monaghan inmates. The officers rode to
the place on a street-car to preclude the
raising of an alarm, and they think they
got every one in the place at that time
They also frustrated the attempt made to
destroy the evidence, which they seized and
took 10 the Southern Police Station. The
room in which the lottery was conducted
was Immediately to the rear of the saloon
and communicated with it by door, which,
while the playing was going on, was heavily
barred. This lottery has been in operation
about three weeks and has been frequented
by large but low class of whites.
