LAST HoEoRs TO MACDONALD.
The Remains of the Dead Premier Taken
From Ottawa to Kingston.

From Ottawa to Kingston.
OTTAWA, June 10-The remains of the late
Premier, Sir John A. Macdonald, were borne
this afternoon from the Senate Chamber,
where they had lain in state since yesterday
morning, TO st. Albans Church, where the
funeral services were held, and thence to
the depot, where they were placed on board
a special train to bear them to Kingston for
interment. From an early hour this morn
ing great crowd thronged the approaches
to the Parliament buildings and lined the
thoroughfares through which the funeral
cortege would pass. In the Senate Chamber
rested the casket in which reposed the illus
trious dead, arrayed in the glittering uni
form of an Imperial Privy Councillor
Around about, and banked high against the
casket were the floral tributes while to the
east of the oatafalque stood a u foot shield
in black cloth. bearing on its center q por-
The The rails behind tie throne were heavily
draped in black and the throne itself was
covered with Canadian ensigns.
Shortly after noon the officers of state and
other high dignitaries who were to take part
in the funeral began to arrive. Outside the
military md civic bodies took up the posi-
tions assigned to them. The Governor Gen
erai and staff reached the Parliament build
ings Just prior to clock, and all was soon
in readiness. The casketswas lifted from its
resting place by six members of the Domin-
ion police, and borne out to the hearse. The
cortege then formed and, amid the booming
of flye-mtnute guns and the solemn tolling
of funeral bells, the march to the church be-
gan. St. Albans Church was crowded with
distinguished men and delegations from all
parts of the Dominion. The services were
very impressive, and at their conclusion the
procession again fell into line and escorted
the remains of the Premier to the depot,
where they were placed aboard the funeral
train, which proceeded to Kingston.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

Mr.. McAdoo, who in the early stages of
the tariff controversy ranked himself
with the Randall wing of the Democracy,
comes out with an article on the immigra-
ton of foreign labor as related to the pro-
tective tariff. THE DISPATCH long ago
recognized the force of Mr.. McAdoo's
argument, that the tariff which undertakes
to protect wages but actually brings in
cheap labor from abroad does not fulfill
its purpose. At the same time the dis
tinction between artisans who come here
to settle and become permanent factor
of American industry, and those who are
simply cheap labor, and some of them not
even labor at all, but paupers and mendi-
cants, should not be lost sight of. The
increase of population by the transfer of
foreign artisans to these shores is legiti-
mate part of the protective tariff The at
traction of the criminal or pauper classes
has no part in the purposes of protection.
Nevertheless, Mr.. McAdoo's article is ac-
centuated by such items of news as the re-
port that four hundred Syrians recently
landed at New York. This calls attention
to the fact that the immigration laws as at
present framed are worth less than moth
ing. The Syrian or Arabian Immigrants
come here to pursue scarcely disguised
medicancy under the form of peddling;
and yet the laws as revised by the last
Congress afford no sufficient barrier
against such wholly undesirable immigra-
ton. They may shut out fat English
coachman imported by an Anglomaniac
four-in-hand proprietor; but as long as
thousands Of Italians, Arabs and Hike
classes pour in with scarcely check it is
plain that the present legislation is inef-
fective. The final reduction of this law to
utter futility is the recent decision of a
Cincinnati Judge that contract laborer
from foreign country is not within the
statute unless he comes under an enforci-
BILE contract. As no contracts are enforci-
BILE by this ruling no contract laborers can
be excluded.
Experience is rapidly making the con-
clusion plain that the present mode of reg
ulating immigration is useless. We must,
in its stead, adopt the plan of exclud-
ing all immigration except such as has
been shown by the investigation of the
consular agents of the Government at the
homes of the immigrants to be of the class
that will make desirable citizens.

WHICH is THE ~NATIONe'

The view of one administration organ
that it is the duty of the United States to
uphold the Balmaceda Government in
Chile is thus expressed in the New York
Press:
That is, every one of the five thousand
rifles or the Itata meant O soldier to carry on
war against o nation with which the United
States is at peace. This admission shows
how important was the pursuit and capture
of the Itata.
This is equivalent to the declaration that
the President of country who, by his own
statement undertook to usurp legislative
power, or, in his words, ito assume all the
powers of the Government, constitutes
the whole nation That is an exceedingly
questionable and dangerous position for
the leadicg Republic of the world to take.
1t is not the duty of the United States to
take sides in the Chilean quarrel 1t is the
duty of our Government to prevent the
use of our ports as base of supplies for
either party. But when it comes to basing
that action on the claim that the repre-
sentatives of the people defending the
rights of the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment against usurpat1on are rebels and
outlaws, it is time to ask whether there is
nothing more than theoretical respect in
our midst for the fundamental principles
of Constitutional Government
The United States should keep out of the
domestic quarrels of other countries. The
need for this injunction becomes very clear
when we find ourselves coming perilously
close to the role of placing in power such
unmitigatei dictators as Balmaceda in
Chile and Hippolyte in Haiti.

HUSBANDS WITHOUT CHARACTER.

The termination of the baccarat scandal
yesterday by the marriage Of Sir William
Gordon Cumming to an American heiress
gives strong foundation to the theory
that the more utterly blasted the
character of q member of the
British aristocracy the more eligible
he is for the uses of thefair daughters of
our miliionaires who wish to invest their
bank accounts in titles This is a phase
of the case hardly more fiattering to
American pride than the connection
of the Prince of Wales with the
scandal is English responsibility; but
it is the only conclusion permitted by
this climax of the record of international
marriages in which the leading features
were the wealth of the bride and the CON-
plete absence of character on the part of
the titled bridegroom.
In the Gorden-Cumming case this
characteristic is made the most significant
feature by the result of the late trial. No
impartial person who has followed 1t could
reach any other conclusion than that the
plaintiff was caught cheating at cards.
The scandal was a disgrace to every one
connected with it; but so far as the fact at
issue is concerned there Is no reasonable
doubt that the verdict was correct It is
also clear that Sir William Gordon-C Cum
ming paraded his disgrace simply for the
opportunity it gave of inficting the scan-
dal on his enemies. The marriage follow
ing promptly upon such an expose of his
shame is a remarkable demonstration Of
the principle that in the search of Ameri-
can heiresses for aristocratic husbands
decent character is the one thing regarded
as wholly unnecessary.
Perhaps this may be justified on the
economic principle that every commodity
goes to the quartz; where it is most needed
There is certainly no class which needs
the money of our heiresses more urgently
than the members of the English aris
toeracy who are utterly ruined in both
fortune and character.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, THURSDAY, JUNE Il. 1891
BOTH SHOULD BE SATISFIED.

If the Reformed Presbyterian Synod
held the exclusive keys to future happi-
ness, it would be a sad thing for the six
ministers who yesterday felt themselves
compelled to withdraw from that body.
If the Synod even had power of eeelest-
astics of the elden time to send to the
stake or place upon the rack of physical
torture those who entertained ideas differ
ent from their own, the position Of the
young ministers and of the others who
propose to follow them would still arouse
profound sympathy-at least among the
outside heather. But, as no claim to
authority in either particular is set up,
and as the withdrawing ministers as soon
as they left the church had the hand
of fellowship and invitations to labor in
other vineyards promptly extended to
them, it will be seen that Notwithstanding
the dramatic tension of the past fortnight,
the breach is not one that threatens pro-
found consequences
If the Synod proceedings Of the past
fortnight have any special significance, it
is that, occurring simultaneously with
other like divisions in other denomina-
tions, they help to illustrate period when
clergy as well as laymen are endeav0ring
TO interpret revealed religion according to
the best of their own lights in place of ac-
cepting implicitly the interpretations
of the fathers of the churches
who went before them. The Briggses,
the ParkhurstS. the Newtons, the
Brookses, and the seeding Reformed Pres
byterians are all generally conceded, even
by their opponents, to be honest in their
convictions, unblemished in their personal
character, and as earnest for what they be-
leve to be true Christianity as those who
differ from and censure them. The ques-
tion is one wholly of difference of belief.
To disinterested observers it would seem
that where such radical differences exist
withdrawal. secession, expulsion, or ami
cable division would be preferable to both
sides ratkyr than the maintaining of
Kilkenny Cat fight, if we may use anun-
dignifed, but excellently descriptive meta
phOr.
OF course, it is natural that public SYM
pathy should be strongly with those young
ministers who have been virtually expelled
from the Reformed Presby terian Church
simply because they entertained belief
that it was not irreligious or anti-Christian
to exercise the civic duties of an American
citizen; and whose "Offense" in the matter
indeed extended no farther than the mod
est assumption for themselves of the right
of free thought and free speech on this
question. But, on the other hand, this is
a country of religious tolerance, and If the
Reformed Synod wishes to set up any line
of belief whatsoever, it is its unbounded
privilege. So, from this point of view, if it
says it has no further use for the sus-
pended ministers, and if the suspended
ministers are received, as they doubtless
will be, with open arms by religious de-
nominations having more liberal views,
both sides are to be congratulated that
there is an end of the matter.

witched Colored Man.
New York Times.l
A young medical student from the South
attending lectures in this city tells how he
cured q patient who was suffering with
curious ailment. The patient was an old
negro, who for many weeks had been gradu-
ally wasting away from no apparent cause.
When questioned by his family as to the
nature of his trouble, the old fellow would
sadly shake his head and beg them not to
press the question. The young man noticed
the old mans emaciated condition one day
and, becoming Interested in the matter,
made it his business to find out what the all
ment was. 1t was a difficult job to extort
any information from the aged patient, but
finally he broke down ana confessed that he
had been bewitched and had o lizzard in his
arm.
The student gravely assured the negro
that taking reptiles from bewitehed people
was his specially and that he had stocked
several menageries in that way. He finally
succeeded in gaining the patients confidence
and dismissed him with supply of bread
pills and instructions to call the following
week. When the negro put in his appear
ance the next time the student had dead
lizard in readiness and convinced his pa
tient that it was the identical one that for
mally abided in his arm. He straightaway
began to improve, and Is now vigorous and
hearty.

THE THIRD PARTY PREPARING.
An Opinion That Senator Stanford Is the

An Opinion That Senator Stanford Is the
Coming Candidate for President.
ST. LOUIS, June 10.-The advance guard of
the Executive Committee of the Peoples
party, which will meet here Saturday to
select place of meeting for the National
Convention, has put in appearance. E. L.
saxton, one of the secretaries of the Cincin-
natl Convention, said to reporter that
there are a number of people who wish to go
faster than is deemed wise by the majority.
Many advocate placing State tickets in. the
field in number of States, while others
think that such course would be unwise
and have q tendency to divide the partys
strength.
The Kansas men, however, think that the
fight should be made in the State, and their
advice is naturally of great weight; but the
mass of opinion is against it. As to the
candidates to be placed before the National
Convention, Mr.. Sa1ton said that variety
of names had been suggested, but so far
Senator Leland Stanford, of California, seems
to be the favorite. Pfeffer, of Kansas, is in
eligible, he being q native of Canada. Mr..
Saxton is also of the opinion that the Cincin-
natl platform will be modified by giving less
prominence to the farmer element.

colleges, as far as they have an existence,
are any petter in this respect than the North
ern. The fact Is that they appear in col
leges which have attained the fashionable
rank, and attract students who have the not
unfounded idea that the possession of money
will condone any disorder. Find college
mainly attended by poor students, or where
the faculty is not afraid to send the sons of
rich and influential men packing when they
misbehave themselves, and you will find q
college where 60 cd order Is maintained.
