Again Successful.

Some time ago the CHRONICLE pub
fished an account of foot race in Cali
fornia among the state university
students in which Mr.. Ed. Mays, son of
Hon. Robt. Mays, of this city was the
successful contestant. Last week the
Berkley boys had some more running
and in race of 440 yards between S. ".
Casady of the Olympic club and Ed. e.
Mays of 1913, the latter won in fifty five
seconds to the great delight of the uni
versity boys.
The San Francisco Call of last Sunday
in giving report of the university races
has this to say of them:
Another event, which was an all-ab-
sorbing one, though the existing records
were not approached, was the 440-yard
run, open scratch, between S. V. Casady,
o. A. c., and E. Mays, '93. The men
are old opponents on the path
and had met before, Mays on that occa-
sion carrying off the laurels. 1t was
supposed that this victory had engend-
cred feeling between the men, and that
report spreading, as such rumors usually
do, had the effect of centralizing the
interest of all the amateur talent on the
grounds upon the twelfth event in yester-
day programme.
The race was won in jog by Mays in
55 seconds, three seconds slower than
his former time, the present University
Club record. After the race was awarded
to Mr.. Mays it was represented to him
that he had fouled his oppodent by
striking him on the leg, which showed
evidence of the fact by slight scratch.
Upon hearing of this he voluntarily re-
quested the judges to award the race to
Mr.. Casady, claiming that he fouled
him unIntentionally, but the judges, at
Mr.. Casady's request, refused to allow
the same. S

SIGNS And EARNINGS.

This is critical day in the coke region OF
PENNSYLVANIA The funerals OF the men VINO
were shot in the act of destroying property ana
threatening life are sure to produce deep eN-
element. and the dispatches from military
officers now on the field indicate that they fear
an outbreak. The troops will doubtless be able
to mell any disturbance that may arise at the
noints which they cover and their presence Will
probably prevent any serious uprising against
lawful authority in their immediate nelghbor-
hood but there is reason to fear that the DlU.er
resentment which is everywhere cherished by
the strikers may find an outlet IN violence III
unprotected places.
This unhappy situation calls public attention
to the fact that a great proportion OF these peo-
ME now awaiting SuIlenly a chance for revenge
are absolutely unfit for citizenship, and ought
never to have been admitted into the country
They are densely ignorant brutal by instinct
incompetent to form an intelligent independent
Judgment, passionate in temperament ana SUD-
missye only to superior force. They and those
like them everywhere are constant menace 10
the peace of the country as they are totally
incapable of comprehending its institutions.
They are not here because they appreciate
their children the blessings which freedom
offers. And they are samples of the refuse
which is pouring into the country from the Old
World in tide which is fast submerginS parts
If the United States in vice and ignorance and
brutality. Something has been done to check
this influx. but how little The dlsh0nored
theory that America is able to absorb and digest
every poison that is offered, to exist forever as
an asyum for all nations and still preserve all
its native virtues and values, possesses suIll-
cient vitality down TO this hour to secure a
practically unhindered entrance for all who
choose to inHict themselves upon u.s. lnde-
fensble as the New-Orleans slaughter was, in
orr opinion, we cannot forget that its victims
were creatures whose removal raises the average
of citizenship in that community.
The crimes which led up to that bloody affair,
this later outbreak in Pennsylvania, and repeat
cd occurrences OF less magnitude but similar
import may prove to be not without their com
pensations if we accept the warning which they
offer. They are the symptoms OF a disease
which has already taken strong hold on our
National system, and which will ultimately over
master us if its ravages are not checked. ms
is q truth which we must learn now or here
after. and which we are in danger Of learning
too late. In fact it is already too late to recover
from all the evils which are inherent in free
immigration The corruption has begun. Inc
diploma.ic rupture at Washington Will serve a
most benehcent purpose if it avail to startie the
country into a realization of the deep-seated
trouble to which it bears an indirect but I'M
mistakable relation,

LEGISLATION TO BE DEFEATED.

Does tho State need Superintendent OF PUB
lie buildings at a salary of $4,000 year ana
travelling expenses? Level-headed people VIII
say no. Taxpayers who have fcndness for
getting the worth of their money will say no.
Nevertheless, bill has passed the Assembly
which proposes to saddle that sort of an official
on tho people and which authorizes three thor
ouoh-poinc Democrats, all of whom are earnest
officeseekers, to appoint him. These appointing
officials are Governor Hill, who yearns to be
President; Northumberland Jones, VINO
yearns to be Governor; and Speaker Sheehan'
who yearns to be observation-disclosures. lhese
three scbemers with axes to grind are to name
tho Superintendent OF Public Buildings. what
sort Of a Superintendent would they select!
We NAV be sure they or the majority of'them
would select one who could be depended upon
primarily to superintend their individual ana
collective booms, and who would only Incl
dentalIy superntend any public buildings whicn
he might meet with on his travels.
The Senate laid out this indeienSble meas
pre last wear. and is not likely, we take IL,
10 reverse its action upon it at the present ses-
sion. The State has no more occasion to en-
nloy Superintendent of Public Buildings than

Of the nublic buildings to the end that the COM
mittees of the Legislature charged with the duty
Of making appropriations could 90 ahead under

as il is? The Finance Committee OF the senate
and the Ways and Means Committee OF inc
Assembly satisfy themselves that an appropIla-
tion for a public building is necessary peiore
they agree to report it. They do so by taxing
the testimony of. officials who are to De pre-
s,med to be as trustworthy and well informed

probably be.

THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF The TRIBUNE.
Upon the 10th of April, 1891, at p. m, at
the Metropolitan Opera House in this city, 1t Is
proposed 10 celebrate the fiftieth anniversary OF
the founding of The TRIBUNE by Horace Gree
ley. 49,. .,
Originating virtually in the exciting political
campagn which made General William Henry
Harrison President of the United States in 1s41,
TIE TRIBUNE has been from its birth politi-
cal newspaper, ardenty devoted to the discussion
of the great measures OF public policy Whlch
have from time to time come before the country
for solution. Every great movement Tor the
promotion of sobriety and morality, the develop
ment of the industries and resources OF America
the enlargement of its trade, and the education
and improvement of the masses, has received
its attention. TO the extent that THE TRIBUNE
has aided the people of America to comprehend
clearly the tendencies of proposed lines OF pub
lie policy and to act intelligently upon them, the
history of this newspaper is part of the history
of the country. 1t seems fitting to observe the
fiftieth anniversary of this journal with digni-
fed and brilliant celebration, devoted to remi-
niscence, congratulaton and consideration OF
the future
A lmber of gentlemen of National reputation
and distinguished ability have consented to
speak upon this happy occasion. Among them
are James e. Blaine George William Curtis
formerly one of the editors of The TRIBUNE;
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Charles A. Dana, who also
at one time occupied an important editorial
position upon this paper and Roswell q. Horr,
of Michigan. Others have been invited, and
we hope to have them with us. Walter Dam
rosch will be present with his orchestra; the
music will be exclusively that of American
composers.
While it will be impossible to seat more than
a small part of the large family of readers OF
The TRIBUNE in any public hall of this city,
those who especially desire to attend the exer-
cises are invited to signify their wish In the
matter at once by letter. addressed to this Office
The whole house will be seated by ticket, and
we shall do the best we can to accommodate
those who may apply. For the benefit OF read
ers who cannot otherwise be provided for, com
plete report of the speeches will be published
on the following day.

aILIANCE PROSPECTS.

Now Mr.. Simpson, the leading talker if not
leader of the Kansas Farmers Alliance, says
that ex-senator ingalls, is all right. few
short weeks ago the Alliance was gloating over
his defeat much as savage dances about the
body of his victim. What is there to justify
the change, civilized men will inquire. Appar-
entity nothing but an interview in which the ex-
Senator expressed opinions partially in harmony
with the Alliance. There could scarcely be any
thing more significant of character or OF pros
poets than this change in tone.
The theories to which the Alliance processes
devotion are sufficiently distinct. Either the
Alliance farmers do really believe in those the
cries. and want to sacrifice everything else in
an effort to carry them out or else they SANDER
themselves in their official declarations and
papers But if they do believe, Mr.. ingalls, has
not advocated one Of their theories. He has
simply tried the virtue OF little " soft sawder'
without committing himself to anything. body
of men sincerely and inteigently striving for
change in government which they believe wise

According to dispatch from Harrisburg Sec
rotary Blaine is preparing to take advantage
of the present excitement in Italy to secure il
possible, the surrender by that country OF two
Italians who were concerned in double murder
in Pennsylvania. The murder OF Flanagan and
Mcclure near Wilkesbarre in October, 1888, at
tracted great attention. Two Italians were
found guilty and hanged, but two others escaped
and were traced to Italy. For some reason they
have never been given up. 1t is certainly
shrewd move to attempt to secure them now.
The Italian Government may not have actually
been shielding them, but its present horror OF
murder will doubtless make it eager and even
anxious that any OF its subjects guilty OF that
crime should be duly punished.
