NEWSPAPER MEN MEET.
The Annual Meeting of the Southern
R, |, Press Club,

The tenth annual meeting of the South
ern Rhode Island Press Club was held
with its genial president, Irving Watson,
at the Office of the Narragansett Herald,
in Wakefield, yesterday, and proved to be
one Of the most enthusiastic and interest
ing business meeting the club has ever
held.
The members turned out in goodly num-
bers and were OF hand early in the day
ready for business. The meeting being
strictly of q business nature sight seeing
was not INDUCED in to any great extent,
but prominent among the points of inter
est visited was G. III. Armstrong x Sons
blackboard and carriage works, where a
very fine stock of vehicles and n
well organized business twas found.
the Soldiers Memorial hall was visited,
which is the only one in the state, and
when complcten will be a fine building
ana an ornament TO the place. The build
ing is stone Tin the rough) and of brick of
very peculiar design, and as it is being
built almost entirely by subscription 1T
reflects great credit upon the generous
subscribers To so worthy a cause.
The meeting was called TO order by the
president and the usual routine of bust
ness presented, the treasurer's report
showing the club TO be financially in a
prosperous condition. Extended and
pleasing remarks We're made upon the
duties and objects of press clubs by q. II
Still of the Pendulum, the Hon. George
Carmichael, Judge \. II. Green, President
Watson, Col. Wheaton and Ii. L. True.
The committee on nominations of officers
and one other important committee not
being prepared 90 report the meeting was
adjourned to meet in Providence Feb. ~.
The doors of President Watson's spac-
ious dining room was thrown open and the
members invited to partake of "a genuine
California lunch. which was served in
genuine California style, and demonstrat-
ed beyond u reasonable doubt that prcsi-
dent Watson had the entertainment of the
Southern Il. l. Press Club in his mind
during his months soiourn in the Golden
state with the international League of
Press Clubs, for the tables were loaded with
California fruits and wines, but the guests
seemed to understand what disposition TO
make Of California lunch, even if IL was
served i'm Rhode Island. After lunch,
cigars were passed and a general smoke
was INDUCED IN, with an occasional story
from the genial host of what he saw in
the great West until I y. VI. when the
train was boarded for home, all feeling
that the md-winter meeting was a very
successful and pleasant one

That Jerry Simpsons canvass of the
state during the latter part of the cam
paign was in the interest of his cand-
dacy for the United States senate in the
event of his defeat for congress in this
district, there is no doubt. And there is
not much more doubt that his reelection
was about as great surprise to him as
was his first election. Since the election,
though, he has grown extremely mag
unanimous: he is quoted as declaring that
lie is not and will not be a candidate for
United States senator. 81 don't know
but am in favor of Democrat for
senator" says Simpson. ''Thev have
helped us out wonderfully in this cam.
pagn, and as matter of fact there is
very little difference between tie Demo-
cratic and Peoples parties, anyway. We
will need the Democrats again, and l
guess it would be good politics to give
them the senator" This is very nice
little game of hide and seek that is now
going on between them. The Pops think
they are coming it over the Democrats
in a clever way, while the Democrats
know they hold the Pops paw ready to
rake out the chestnuts.

ANOTHER PREDICTION.

Senator Quay, in an interview with the
New York Press, makes the remarkable
prediction that there is ''nothing more
probable than that four years hence
there will be an exact reversal of the
popular verdict of 1892, and that, as in
1888, Mr.. Harrison will succeed Mr..
Cleveland in the presidency. The peo-
pie had four years of Cleveland once and
they had enough. AS have said be-
FORE" continued Mr.. Quay, ''Mr. Cleve-
lands denomination while he still held
the presidential Office made it easier for
the Republican party to succeed Four
years hence, after wages have been re-
duced and after the enormous cost of
labor strikes have been charged to the
party in power, it may be that the peo-
pie will demand the denomination and
reelection of President Harrison"
Mr.. Quay's reasonings seem logical
and they cerytainlJ sound plausible, and
would be altogether reassuripg to Re-
publica-s but for the reflection that
every prediction he has made of late has
failed of verification. We can but hope
he may be correct in his forecast. at least
to the extent of party succession, who
ever the candidate may be.

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
There will be little regret on this side
of the Atlantic over the announcement
that Secretary OF the Treasury Foster
will presently issue an order forbidding
the entrance of all immigrants who
come as Storage passengers. The con-
ditions of the order leave the way open
for the occasional immigrant who NAV
be sorely anxious TO enter. If the in
ducements bringing him are strong
enough he can come by paying cabin
passage rates. For the multitude of
others the order will, of course, be viz
tually prohibitive of entrance.
The reasons prompting this policy are
simply reasons of self-defense. How
ever much philanthropic persons may
regret the barring out of foreigners in
need of elbow-room. they cannot deny
the danger which has been threatening
this country at most critical moment
in its history. With free immigration
and a very probable spead of cholera
abroad it would be almost impossible to
keep the pest away; more, to keep it
from seriously injuring the worlds fair
ana the multifarious interests devolving
upon it.
is. to be taken are, Of course, in their
nature temporary. Presently they will
cease to exist. But it is high time for the
best craftsmanship in America to Crap
pie with the immigration problem again
and for permanency. A nations first
duty is toward itself; else it cen be of
service to neither itself nor to others.
How far fidelity to this duty will justify
the keeping out of oppressed foreigners
is question which should be approach
ed only with the highes. and broadcast
understanding of its gravity.
That immigration can be stopped is
not to be doubted. With only moderate
precautions and imperfect regulations
the immigration during the month of
October was reduced 10 1881. During
the same month las. year nearly $1,000
immigrants were landed on these shores.
Thus it appears that immigration can be
stopped. And the stopping of immigr:.-
ton now VIII reduce tie danger OF the
importation Of cholera 10 the minimum.

A Thrifty Territory,

From he FL Dorado Tunes.
A drive of forty miles across southern
Butler and northern Cowlev counties
shows one of the most fertile richest and
most prosperous portions of this favored
land. The farms are improving rapidly,
new houses. barns, granaries aud corn
cribs have taken the place OF the old and
cheaper ones OF few years ago, hun
dreds OF acres Of sod has been broken
the past season, orchards have been re-
placed and enlarged, good wells and wind
mills take the place of the old stock
pond, pastures have been fenced, hedges
and trees have grown and make a good
showing where not long since was bare
and open prairie. In fact no prettier
country exists than can be seen in But
Ter and Cowley counties. The harvest
this year has been beuntiful, rs the
bursting granaries attest. The quality
of the grain is good and fair prices are
realized. The back bone of hard times
is broken and the farmers are paving
mortgages and other debts, some have
money on deposit and ali are feeling
cheerful.

Lake Michigan, persistently called at
first illinois," was first called "Michi-
gam by Sener in 1744, since which time
it has been generally known by that
maine.
Champlain, the first topographer of
Lake Superior. called it 'Grand Lac "
The wonderful Jesuit map called it
Tracy or Superior" Coke and Sener
called it by an alias after the Sioux, or,
as they We're then called, Nadoussians,
on its shores.
Lake Erie received its name from the
Fries on its banks, and uniformly re-
tanned the name. The Fries were known
as a cat nation; therefore some early
writers call it "Fe is" and "Du Chat"
Sener called it ''Cadaragua." Washing
tons journal, Mitchell and Pownali call
ed it "Okswego"5
The early discoveries of Ontario called
it ''St. LOUIS and afterward the early
French called it Lake Frontenac," after
the governor. The English when they
first claimed dominion called it "Kata-
rakui," or Ontario. Mitchell called it
"Cataraqui," and Pownall the same, but
the name Ontario" was always used.
