A NORTHERN OPINION.

The New York Journalist says: The
South is a field for new men with new
ideas, and new energy. Some pretty
lively boomers have already drifted
in that direction, but there is room
for more The man who goes South
and grows up with the country has a
far better climate and as great oppor-
tunity as in the West. He has an
other advantage-he is not going to
new country. He will find men
financially solid; men of ability and
culture men who make warm friends
and generous rivals He will find the
climate delightful living very cheap,
and business of all kinds on the boom.
He will be among people who, if ne
is a gentleman, he will find to be
courteous, hospitable and appreciative
beyond any thing he every experienced
IN the North With its natural advan-
tages, it will one day, and that before
long, become one Of the richest and
most prosperous sections Of the United
States. Those who go early and
avoid the rush will be the first to share
in the prosperity.

CHE VIEWS OF SECRETARY
FOSTER.

Secretary Fosters views ofthe flnan
cial situation are given to the public
in an article signed by himself and
published in The New York Recorder
of a recent date. 1t is mainly de-
voted to a consideration of the appro-
priations made by the last Congress,
all of which he does not pretend to
say are beyond criticism, yet in every
instance where they were improper he
claims it will be found that they were
supported as much by Democrats as
Republicans. On the whole he justi-
fies the budget and insists that this is
a billion dollar country. As to the
ability Of the Treasury 20 meet its OBJ
legation, he repeats the forecast he
made some time ago that the Govern
ment will have money enough to cover
all its expenditures and add a hand
some sum to what has already been
paid On the bonded debt. He also
expects, and has reason to believe that
the proposed extension Of S5I, 900, 900
of AZ per cent. will be so favorably
received by the banks, that about S25,
ooo,oo will be added to the circula
ton in bank notes. /, is rather a rose
colored view of the situation, and
rather novel way of presenting it to
the public, but everybody will join the
Secretary in the hope that his encour-
aging predictions may come true
Secretary Foster would not have writ
ten the article above referred to if he
had not known the people blame his
party for the vast expenditures Of the
billion dollar Congress. He canno.
get around the acts OF that Congress.

UNCLE SAM TOO HOSPITABLE.

One Of the most serious questions
confronting the American people to-
day is that Of the wholesale hocking
to our shores of foreign immigrants
of every condition and nationality.
Our laws touching this matter are not
strict enough and the day is not far
distant when the baleful effects of the
present system will be grievously felt.
The Germantown Independent COM
menting on the subject, says:
Uncle Sans little bone of conten-
ton with Italy has drawn closer atten-
ton to the quantity and quality Of
immigrants daily arriving in this
country, and it requires very little
scrutiny to show that while the vol
ume of desirable immigration, includ-
ing the Saxons, the Celts, and the
Gauls is decreasing, the Huns, Latins
and Slavs are multiplying at an enor-
nous rate in this country, and are
pouring in from Europe in an uninter-
rupted stream. Many of these people
are the ofal Of their respective coun-
tries and as soon as they arrive here
they at once commence the operation
of inoculating the body social and
the body polite in America with
the deadly virus which brought them
into such pronounced disrepute at
home. The result is seen in the Herr
Mosts and the Malta, who glory in
their manifestations of lawlessness.
Our laws relating to immigration are
entirely too lenient and instead Of
being allowed to stand as they are, ex-
tending, as they do, hospitality with
out discrimination to Europe's scum
and scurvy, they should b. SO amended
as to enectually keep from our doors
people who deny the right of property
and who take delight in spilling human
blood and perpetrating atrocities in
Vulnerable Uncle Sam wants to
bestir himself in the matter or his
lethargy, already too prolonged, will
lead to grave complications and posi-
bly, dire results.

TYPE SETTING MACHINES.

A Washington correspondent says ::
It's only question of few months
when the type-setting machine will be
given a trial at the Government Print
ing Office, and, if the machine can
do all that is claimed for it, it will
unquestionably be adopted by Uncle
Sam. Several weeks ago Public Printer
Palmer and Captain Brain, foreman
of printing, went over to New York
for the purpose of inspecting the work
ings of the Mergenthaler and the
Thorn type-setting machines. They
remained in New York almost week.
They witnessed the work of the ma
chimes, and were surprised at the per-
fiction attained. Neither Public Printer
Palmer nor Foreman Brain has COM
mitted himself on the subject. They
dit not see the Rogers typo-graph
machine, which has been adopted by
the leading papers of New York, and
therefore were unable to make a COM
parison Of its work with other machines.
1t may be that the printers Of the
country will protest against the adop-
ton by the Government of any type
setting machine, but if the printers
will stop to think one moment they
will see that the type-setting machine
will not interfere with the craft. The
type-setting machine will reduce the cost
ofprinting to such low figure that it
will put in the reach of every one
reading matter that before was beyond
their means. 1t will not limit pro-
duction but on the contrary will in
crease it. The typesetting machine
like the sewing machine has come to
stay. While yet not in perfect state,
it has produced wonderful results and
probably in few years the majority
of our newspapers will be set by the
type-setting machine. twill cheaper
the cost of production and the work
ingman and farmer will receive the
benefit.

am writing TO tell you all about
Guy Fawkes Day. because the little
boys and girls in America do not have
a Guy Fawzes Day, and perhaps they
might like 10 hear about il. You see,
Guy Fawkes Day is thoroughly a boys
day-girls have nothing at all TO do
with it-but though | am a girl have
five brothers, and therefore generally
share in the fun.
The day is the 9Th Of November, and
about the middle of October all the
shops (stores as you say in Amerieal
begin TO show fireworks and masks in
their windows. Now, l dare say you
will like TO hear about the masks"
Well, they are faces made of a sort of
composition, painted most hideously,
generally, with big noses. These are
purchased for the large sum of one pen
ny two cents in American money! by
all the little boys, who wear them
about the streets. After this has gone
on for about a week or fortnight, Guy
Fawkes Day really comes.
At about ten or eleven o'clock on the
5th, you hear great deal of noise go
ing on in the streets, and cries of Guy,
Guy, Guy, Guy as fast as ii can be
gabbled Tor rather shouted). Then You
see troop of street urchins, with paper
caps and paper streamers, singing,
while two of them carry a chair on
which is tied an efiigy of Guy Fawles,
with one of the aforesaid masks and
an old hat and coat. The boys come and
stand in front of the houses and sing:
Please to remember
The Fifth OF November.
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot.
i see no good reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
should ever be forgot
Another song was:
Holler boys boiler, boys make the bells
ring;
Holler boys. holler, boys. God save the king.
'The king" means James l., and the
words are now changed into God save
the queen"
You see Guy Fawkes Day is very,
very old custom; it dates back to 1905,
when it is said that some conspirators
tried to blow up the king and parlia-
ment.
After dark all the boys have bonfires
and fireworks, not so much in the town
as in the suburbs, where there are back
gardens in which to burn the Stuffed
efiigy and to set off the fireworks.

incompetence.
One would not expect TO find saloon
keeper strongly inveighing against the
practice that SO largely prevails in this
country among the bibulously inclined
and known as treating. Yet that was
the course followed by the proprietor
of well-known downtown resort in
talk with the Saunterer. He takes
the view that treating is the curse of
the liquor traffic as well as of the indi-
vidual consumer; and he maintains his
position with such skill that one is
forced to the conclusion that he knows
whereof he speaks. His chief objec-
ton to the habit is that it ministers to
the hoggish propensities Of a man and
drains his pocket As an illustration:
A few friends. from three to half
dozen, meet on the street corner. Some
moments are spent in talking upon a
current subject, and then one of the
number suggests that all hands ad
journ TO convenient sample-room for
refreshment. This is done. They
stand up before the bar and member
of the party orders a round of drinks
Not to be outdone, some one else
orders another round. And so it goes
until every man has paid out for a
single round. They pour the liquor
down their threats instead of drinking
it in a reasonable manner.
In the majority Of eases, these sue
eessive rornds are merely starters. The
hearts Of the treaters become warm
and sympathetic. and then generosity
IS quiclSened to that degree where they
become reckless. Over-indulgence is
generally the result and likewise a
reckless waste of money. that in the
majority Of cases ought to be applied to
the relief Of the necessities of Others

but made a frantic rush toward the
stack She had taken but few steps,
however. when Boojer. who had also
been forgotten in the wild excitement
of the prairie fire. came bounding away
from the stack. He was not alone. for
he carried little Tommy in his mouth.
Although the baby's dress was in
flames, and must have scorched the poor
dogs nose severely, he never offered t.
abandon his precious burden. Mrs.
Lane hurried forward to receive her
child, but Boojer evidently feared to
trust her with the burning object, for
he rushed quickly past her. What did
he mean? Mrs. Lane pursued the ami
NAL in vague alarm.
But Boojer never paused till he
reached a pond hard by, where the
water was clear and deep. With
plunge he had buried himself and the
baby beneath the water. Mrs. Lane,
followed by Fred and Lottie. who veri-
" believed that Boojer had drowned
Tommy, reached the bank Of the pond
just as the dog rose to the surface with
Tommy held firmly between his teeth.
He then swan to shore and laid the
little fellow at Mrs Lanes feet, wet
and soiled, but with the fire completely
extinguished.
Good Boojer!" she cried gratefully, as
she pressed Tommy's drencheG, though
breathing form, to her breast you
have shown more sense than | might
have done in my intense fright"
Boojer, shaking the water from his
shaggy coat, looked up. as if to say:
Il only did what any brave fellow
should do under similar circumstances.
Mr.. Lane then arrived and put out
the fire. Boojer was a real hero, and
aver after the Lanes treated him ac-
cordingly. II. Gibson, in Home
