The Prince of Wales has done a
good many things to cause sensible
people to think with alarm of the time
when he will occupy the throne OF
Great Britain, but his worst enemy

Hordes Of undesirable foreigners have
displaced the n~aturalized and the ma
tive laborer, and have gone back to
their respective countries with their
earnings. At times they have camped
among us in groups, distinct in Ian

izations for the existence of which the
conditions of American societies offer
no justification or eXcuse.-DGjIy

Senator Hearst's funeral escort has
at last returned to Washington. The
trip cost the tax payers of this country
500, 900. Mrs. Grouger's statement that
the party was on a general carouse,

in the baggage a 1t is to be hoped
that this trip will end the congressional
