THE recent events in New Orleans, and
In the coke region Of this stats, make II
obvious to I'll American citissns, whether
native or naturslissd, .tbst the tide Of i'm
migration from The slums Of Europe must
be stopped. The Italians who ars Ascking
TO this country, come from Naples, Aesdns,
Palermo, and other cities Of southern It
sIy. all Of whish, outside Of the spots that
are kept clean for publie occasions and the
entertainment Of strsnesrs, are worse than
pig pens. The people are dirty and lasy,
cruel and immoral, and void Of everything
that goes TO make up an American citizen.
The Huns are probably no better, and like
the low class Italians they mistake the lib
erty Of this country for license to do what
they please. Our immigration and nstur-
alization laws nssd revising, and al aliens
In this country should be sent out Of 1t -
soon a. they are detscted making trouble.

No question has harrassed the members
of the Council Of this town moro than that
Of the method to b adopted in assessing
for the sewers. The matter has been
brought up 1t every meeting Of the Coun-
ell for the past three months; as good legal
and business talent - there is in the town
have taken part In the discussion, and sitter
the matter had bsen fully considered the
Council adopted the foot front plan, with
the allowances for ode street frontage, -
published last week.
The law itself under which the Council
contracted for the sewerage suggests the
foot-front plan; and the allowances made
for the side streets are the same ~ those
made st the susssstion Of Ex-senator
Wallace for his town.
II the assessments were made according
to the valuation Of the properties severed
8 manifest injustice would be done the
owners Of the improved property, and m
attempt 10 combine the valuation and
frontsss plans would result in intermina-
BILE trSdbls.
A sewer bsnsfts residence just - much
a. it does . business block, It is almost -
much benefit 70 small house ss , large
one, and It increases the value Of vacant
lot immediately. Several Of our citizens
are assessed for vacant lots and their first
argument IN trying IN sell those lots will
be that they arc sewersd.
When people signed for sewerage they
knew they would have to pay for it; It is
needed and now that the plan Of assess-
ments i known, petitions for sewerage
continue 70 pour into the Council chrmber
from all parts Of tho town.
II the gentleman who il now objecting
to the pIan Of assessments adopted by the
Council, and who writes over the signature
Of More Anon has better plan TO sug-
gest. or any plan whatever,he should make
1t public.
A man with 20 many adjectives In his
mouth ought 10 have some ideas In his
head, and be should have given the sCoun-
Gil the boneft of them long ago.

THE BAY STATE DEMOCRACY.
NOT AT ALL SATISFIED TO TAKE MR.. cLEvE-
LAND AS A CANDIDATE-THE COMING
CAMPAIGN.

Boston, Aug 90 (SpeciaD.-The Massachusetts, Demo-
cratic State Committee took action to-day which re-
veals rather srikngly the inherent weakness of the
me committee whereby 1t was decided to elect the
four deegates-atarge to the National Democratic
Convention at the State Convention to be held in wor
cester on September co. reconsdered, and 1t was
then voted that tho matter Of choosing the delegates
atlarge be referred TO the Democratic State Committee
of 1902. 1t thought BEST in view Of all the cir
cumstances, that special convention for the choice
of delegates-atargc be held next sprng-and that Is
what the vote OF to-day means. 1t Is acknowledged
thai there is O strong ant-Cleveland feeling among
the rank and file Of the party in Massachusetts, 1t
was feared that this feeling would lead to squabbe
over the delegates to the National Conven-
ton that would disturb the party "harmOny' and
endanger Governor Russells chances In the approach
ing campaign. So the choice Of the delegates is post
poned until next spring. Though there is strong
anti Cleveland faction the Massachusetts, Democracy
Is not necessarily for Iill-exSecretary Whitney has
many friends who would like to him get the nom-
nation. The fact is that the masses OF the Bay
State Democracy do not believe in free trade The
Irish element which furnishes perhaps fourhfth OF
the Democratic voters, does not like 1t, and would
prefer candidate who is less conspicuousy identified
with "tardR reform" than Mr.. Cleveland Is. Though
the Democracy last year captured the Governorship,
Is in precarious condition. All that has held it to-
geher is the hope Of plunder and If Governor Russell
Is defeated this autumn, he Will be proDaoly, the
Democratic party in Massachusetts Is liable TO IAN
back again into its old position OF weak ana IN
effective minority. The Democratic bosses reaiize
their postlon aud hence their frantic efforts to pre-
serve harmony" until after this falls campaign

THE PRESIDENT PASSES THROUGH TOWN.
HIS ARRIVAL DELAYED-No TINE LOST AFTER
REACHING THIS CITY.

HIS ARRIVAL DELAYED-N0 TINE LOST AFTER
REACHING THIS CITY.
President Harrison was DELAYED in his arrival In
NewYork yesterday morning He started from Proctor.
VT, at 10 40 p. m. Friday night intending to meet
the NewYork express leaving Rutland at ii :25. But
the train delayed beyond that point and did not
reach there until after midnight. The recent wash
outs the Hudson River road have made it necessary
to some Of the north and south bound trains over
the single track of the Harlem division. The train
from Vermont containing the Presidential party, in
Dr. w. Seward webbs private car Ellsmere. and that
Of President Smith, of the Vermont Central the
Bellevue, taxed the southbound train and 1t was
divided into two sections and for part of the way the
Presidents were special But the OBJ
structions were frequent and a consequence the
President who due at the Grand Central Station at
AS a. m, did not arrive until 10 80 a. IN.
The President however, bore the interruptions good
naturedly. Breakfast served to him in the ELS
mere. At the Grand Central Station carriage from
the Gilsey House was in waiting. This took him to
the Desbrosscs Street Ferry, and remaining In tho
carriage while the boat he arrived In Jersey City at
III 40. There special train in charge Of George W.
Boyd was ready for him, and at noon he started
for Cape May Point the Pennsylvania road secre-
tary Proctor was the Presidents travelling companion,
but they parted at the Grand Central Station the
Secretary huying town to take the first train
for Washington.
The arrival of the President at the Forty secondst
station was not unexpected, and some people had
assembled there to see him. When he alighted from
the car somebody proposed three cheers which were
given with will, the President raising his hat In
Acknowledgement lie looked better than when he
started for the North Private Secretary Haford SAID
In behalf of the President that he had been much gra
aed by the remarkable demonstrations OF the people
during the trip and greatly enjoyed the splendor OF
the uminatlons In the Vermont towns where evening
rece ntions were given These were at St. Adams. ST.
Johnsbury and Proctor Each was planned upon the
adaptablty of the landscape with view TO inc most
efective results The President loath TO acknowi
edge thai one exceed another in spendor for all were
alike magnificent. General John W. Foster was at the
Jersey CJty station at the arrival OF the President
there Mr. Harrison will rest quietly. at Cape May

ONE OF THE czARs pLEAsUREHoUsEs.
From Free Russia.

From Free husSld
some fifty miles from ST. Petersburg upon the Lake
NJ Ladoga there is q small granite island entirely
occupied by fortress. 1t Is Schlussehurg the dread
worse than the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul with
it's Troubezkoi and Aleneevsly ravcns and It's under
ground cells The most resoue of tho revoutionsts,
men and women who have taken part in actual con-
sraces whom Ii Is not considered safe 10 Keep IN tho
fortress OF Peter and Paul, sent there. The alb
sence OF any inhabitants, except those employed in
the service renders ii possible to Isolate the prisoners
10 a degree unattainable anywhere else. No one Is
allowed to land upon the lsyd sentinels have orders
10 shoot any one who approaches. IL the near
relatives Of a prisoner inquire concerning him at the
poice Denartment I'm st. Petersburg, they some
times told alive or dead" sometimes answer Is
cvcn The soldiers and guards are themselves
prisoners who mingle only with each other, and are
carefully watched on the rare occasions when they
are allowed 10 make visit to the mainland. IL was
pOssibe TO establish secret communications with
tbe most tealosy guarded ravens of the St. Peters
burg fortress But the fortress OF Schlusselburg
mained dumb, like the grave 1t Is. Though some Of
the best known meu OF the revolution party, in whom
revoIutionlsts were kept there rarely could even
tell whether they were alive or dead. A few months
ago however our friends In Russia received some
news from this place Of endless misery. 1t IS very
brief only such as can be conveyed upon bit Of
paper smugged with the greatest danger through some
fiendly hand II merely tells which OF the prisoners
are dead and which still alive but this sum,
mary Is eloquent enough We learn from II that out
of the ftytwo prisoners sent there In the course OF
the last eight years twenty, or about 40 per cent are
already dead several of those who survive shcuh
he added 10 the LIST OF the dead They are insane and
have lost what Is precious IL not moro precious %
