THE Indianapolis Journal also
agrees with the LIGHT on this immi-
grafton question. 1t remarks:
"The United States immigration
laws ought to require every foreigner
who comes to this country with the
intention of engaging or remaining ia
business to sign paper renouncing
allegiance to any foreign power, and
declaring his intention to become an
American citizen"
Americans who leave this country
to take up their permanent residence
abroad should also be required to
swallow the same medicine.

The Fort Worth Mail, evidently
confounding Harrison with his prede-
cessor, rises to remark:
"After much thought Houston has
decided that the best entertainment
it can offer President Harrison during
his stay of an hour and thirty min
utes in that city is to feed him. In
studying the likeness of the presl.
dent, the Houstonians seem to have
observed that the most conspicuous
portion of his anatomy is about the
CENTRE"
1t is not the "fat boy" of Buffalo
who is making this trip. He was a
northern democrat and had no use for
the solid South after he was elected.

in the succession, and is anxious for
a peep at the baby who is to succeed

THE FLEET.

1t was long ago that my dream ship sailed
Day by day to that shadowy sea;
And | watched each one till my vision
failed
And the ships were lost in mystery.
Sometimes rose-hued and billowy cloud
Shut out my view ere the ship went far,
But often the darkness would seem to
shroud
The vessel before she crossed the bar.
They sailed at the sunset every one;
They sailed away on the ebbing tide
Sometimes brave vessel went out alone,
And again two sailed forth side by side.
! left them alone in tho hands of Fate
Prayed she would make them reality;
And many time did watch and wait
For my fleet to return from the sea.
Then my last ship sailed-for my dreams
were done
And | grieved that my ships came not
back
But only last night at the set of sun
saw a mast DER the wasteless track;
And the twilight mists gave away and made
A pathway lit with sunsets BEAM
And ship sailed in through the twilight
shade,
And brought back to me youthful
dream.

Old. and New Prices for
Glasses,

A well-known gentleman of this city

was the informal entertainment OF u
few friends at dinner. The glasses on
