An Historian in Trouble.

Prof. James Bryce, an English historian,
whose recent book, 1.-THE American Com
monwealth," has attracted SO much atten-
tion and favorable comment in this coun-
try and England, is the defendant in a libel
suit. based upon statements in the foregoing
book which promises to impoverish HIM.
Tn plaintiff is A. Oakley Hall, who was mayor
of New York during the Tweed regime.
He takes exception to certain assertions re-
garding himself which are contained in one
chapter of the book. The chapter IN ques-
ton was not written by Prof. Bryce. The
author of it is Prof Frank J. Goodnow, of
Columbia College. 1t Was published over
his name as q separate part of the book.
The book was published in England and
Mr.. Hall is now a resident in London. He
brought his libel suit in that city, and testi-
mony for tho defendant is now being taken
before the British consul in New York.
Under the British LIBEL law libel suit is
very costly for the defendant. What
makes the suit against Prof. Bryce such a
burdensome one is that he is compelled
ment that Mr.. Hall was a member Of the
Weou ring. 10 get BuCn evidence q vast
mass Of documents Of one kind and another
has to DO Investigated, and. what is needed
has to DO selected and prepared for presenta-
ton TO the court. He has, in fact, to go
over the whole history Of the Tweed ring.
1t is stated that he has already spent
many thousands Of dollars In collecting
evidence and for lawyers fees, and it is
estimated that the suit, even II he wins &c -,
will cost him not less than $4,000
Mr.. Hall claims $4,000 damages. The
suit is not costing him a great deal, since he
| docs not have Co present any evidence. In
| New York no is conducting his own case.
and in London about his only expense Will
be the fee he pays his lawyer.
A great many points interesting TO histo-
rians are being raised, and if they follow the
suit closely they will learn something about
the libel law that may be very valuable to
them. Historian Bryce win non want an
other experience like the one he is now hav-
| ing.

James King Of Plttsourg. Pa. aged l6, is
a practical joker. His favorite laugh
creating speciality is TO pin bundle of cot
ton waste" ak it is technically known in
machine shops, to the coat Of the iokee, and
set it on fire. The laugh comes In at the
antics Of the victim as he tries TO escape
from his garments before he is burned to
death. King tried this little joke on Frank
Kennedy, aged Is; but Kennedy was not
quick enough and sustained burns from
which he died. There was once another
joker of the James King type named
Jesse Poneroy. The oourtC played a
little practical joke on him which might be
repeated on King to the advantage Of his
community.

Too ManY InmiurAnta.

A great many more immigrants reached
the port of New York last year than the
year before, and the class of immigrants
was much less desirable. The number of
immigrants for 1890 was 321 ,953 and for
1891 444 ST5
1t is becoming more and more evident
that we are getting many more immigrants
of the kind that have no interest in building
up the country than we n5ed, or can assini-
late as quickly as is necessary for the good or
the country. The objectionable immigrants
congregate iu the large cities, and in mining
towns Of the coal and iron regions of Penn
sylvania. They retain their national CHAR
acoeristics and have no desire to become &C
Quaiuted with American institutions.
II they would settle upon the cheap lands
OF the west and south and become identified
with the communities in which they located
there would be less reason for Directing to
them. but they know nothing about farming
and have no pride in the country. Their
chief desire Is to earn enough t. be able to
! spend their declining years in their native
land. Few, however, have that desire
satisfied.
The percentage OF paupers, cripples and
| criminals is also larger. It seems almost
impossible to keep these classes out OF the
| country. The steamship companies are paid
to bring them here 10y communities in Europe
that want to get rid Of the burden of sup
porting them.
Either our laws restricting immigration
are not stringent enough or else they are not
| honestly enforced. There are whole colonies
| of foreigners In New York. Philadelphia and
other large cities that promise at no distant
day to be q source of a great deal Of trouble.
