NICE.PREsIpENT MORTON.
His one of the Names to be Considcre


His one of the Names to he Considered
In 1892.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times has a little boom pro-
iected from somewhere for Vice President
Morton as a suitable master of the White
House. II is said of the list of availables:
at includes Allison Cullom, Lincoln,
Hawley, Rusk, Reed, Cameron, McKin-
ley, Sherman and others. But the latest
name added to the list, and with sig
niicance and strength attending no other,
without possibly it is LincOln's, is the
name Of VicePresident Levi p. Morton.
His name does not come by chance.
There is method and intent behind il, and
these come from q quarter that means
business. During his brief career in office
Morton has grown, as has no other man
who was ushered into public life, with
the present Administration. Without
playing for anything he has won much.
He has filled his Office we'll. Not
merely that, his ever-ready good sense,
strength of judgment and genuine ca
pacity for affairs have become manifest to
his party and caused him to stand out in
the estimation of very many as the man
after Blaine for the Presidency.
"He cannot be said to be candidate.
He makes no pretentions to claims or SUI
periority. All the better for that say they
who have observed his development Of
capacity, power and fitness.
Morton belongs to the order of public
men of which James Monroe was q lead
ing type-men who have at every stage of
our history impressed themselves in the
public service without ostentatiOn or app
parent ambition.
"Vice- President Morton has made an
excellent presiding officer, though he en-
tered his Office with scarcely any expert
ence. But his strength lies in his knowl-
edge of affairs, evenness of temper and
soundness of judgment, all of which
qualities he displays without creating an
tagonism and without display"

The Washington Club dropped It's first

eight hundred spectators shivered through
out tiresome game. 1t was too Geld for
good ball playing and the men did not at

il is not pleasant to hear that Mr.. Blaine
has the gout. The gout is SO closely asso-
ciated with over-fed Englishmen that it
seems almost like blot on the American
flag when our Secretary of State is laid
up with tins dread disease. 1t takes a
very vivid imagination to picture James
foot swathed in bandages until it is the
size of a pillow. II is no position for a
Plmed knight, and, sufferer though he
is, we do not hesitate to tell him so.-

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 27.-This
morning the Mayor had before him W.

He was charged with assaulting Robert
Taylor, who said his (Taylor's) cows hav-
ing trespassed on the Shoots property
and did considerable damage and he had
paid for it, and went to get back his cows,
when Taylor hit him over the head with
q pitchfork. The evidence was such as to
show that both men had a wordy dispute
before the pitchfork was resortcd TO,
hence the Mayor fined Mr.. Bayliss but S5.
Taylor's head was quite badly cut.

The death of General John G. Lee at
Toledo, Ohio, on Tuesday, removes n man
conspicuous as an officer in GeneralRose-
Grams army during the war, and for
many years a well-known figure in Ohio

inence at Tifin. AS soldier, General
Lee was daring, full of tireless energy,
and was always found where fighting was
thiCkest. He was breveted Brigadier-
General for his gallant services.
After the war he took n lively interest

The Immigration Evil.

Among the numerous warnings and les
sons brought home to thoughtful people
by the shocking acts of the New Orleans
mob and by the occurrences that led to
those tragedies is the ever-recurrng re.
minder that our immigration laws are still
loose and unsatisfactory. The Italian
Consul at New Orleans acknowledges that
there is a considerable element known to
be criminal in the Italian colony there, al
though he denies that IL is organized for
hardly pressed as all knaves are by an IN
usually effective Police Department, il is
well known that recent Italian immigra-
tion has brought us host of SiCilian
ruitians. This is more our fault than
ltaly's.
The Government of that country has
put forth praisewOrthy eXcrtions 70 pre-
vent not only criminal but all undesirable
emigration, and IL is to be doubted If the
ruiianly element of our Italian pOpula-
tion succeeded in embarking from Italian
ports. Small difficulty, however, was to
he encountered in escaping to MarSeilles,
ana from that port embarkatiOn was easy
and wholly unattended with risk.
II must be said, too, that by no means
our worst immigration comes from Latin
countries. Southeastern Europe furnishes
horde of creatures annually who for
visciousness, ignorance and disease are
indescribably lower than the meanest
Sicilian. II is hard to understand how we
have allowed ourselves TO become so care
less in the presence of an evil so obvious,
so far-reaching and so pregnant with dis
aster to every social and political cause
priced by Americans.
