Gen. Harrison and the New York Re-
publicans.

The Republican politicians Of this town
who went to Washington last week for the
purpose Of inducing the Hon. BENJAMIN
HARRISON to turn Democratic followers
in this town out Of Office. and make things
pleasanter and warmer generally for the
Republican brethren here. have returned
unsatistied and full OF wrath. They found
the Hon. BENJAMIN HARRISON no more dis
posed to geniality than ever. but still re-
solved to please himself whether he sue
ceeds in pleasing anybody else or not.
Probably the knowledge that Mr.. BLAINE
was soon to write letter OF declination
made Gen. HARRISON little more rigid in
his treatment OF his visitors from New
York Yet the visitors were essentially
right. 1t is bad politics to keep Democrats
in Office under Republican Administra-
ton: and the New York Republican poll
ticians like that sort Of thing as little
as would the Republican politicians of
Gen. HARRIsoN's own State. Even II he
regards his denomination as certain. he can
not afford to be on bad terms with the poll
ticians OF New York
We wonder II he Is trying to please tho
Mugwumps by showing his modified and
gentle interest in their principle that to
the vanquished belong the spoils. The
Stuf1ing having been knocked out. the Mug
wumps must either join the Columbians or
vote for the Republican candidate. The
Democratic candidate will be representa-
tive OF that plain. resolute. and thorough
going Democracy which. IL it wins will use
the advantages OF victory to the fullest ex-
tent. Some OF the massachusetts Mug
wumps have announced themselves as
ready to vote even for Mr.. BLAINE II
candidate like Senator HILL should be put
up by the Democrats. and Gen. HARRISON
is infinitely less Objectionable to them than
Mr. BLAINE would be.
We wonder IL Gen. HARRISON has hopes
from the teapot tempest OF the Mugwumps.
and fears to offend them by conscnting to
a vigorous Republican policy in this State.
At any rate. he Is doing exactly what the
Democrats want to have him do. The ac-
tive politicians OF his party have long been
dissatisfied with his course in regard to the
Offices. 1t was natural to suppose that he
would make some efforts to satisfy them as
the time for the election OF delegates to the
National Convention drew near. but 1t
doesn't appear that he has any intention Of
complying with their demands. 1t remains
to be seen whether the men whom he has
rebuffed will maintain an armed neutrality.
or engage in active warfare against him.
II he will do nothing for them. he cant ex-
pect that they will put themselves out to do
anything for him.

KARb MARx and the principle Of paternal
government are essentially irreconcalable.
Having abandoned the plan OF propitia-
ton and reverted to the programme OF CO.
ercion. WILLIAM II. will. Of course. soon
learn. as BISMARCK learned. the difficulty OF
suppressing socialism by the cumbrous
machinery Of the common law defining and
Furnishing the crime Of treason. We may
therefore expect to see shortly tho Same
sovereign who prevented the resnactment
Of the special legislation against the Social
lists. demanding its revival. Such move
on his part will destroy the last vestige OF
the popularity which at the outset OF his
reign he acquired among unthinking per-
sons by philanthropical professions. which
were based neither on deeply rooted sym
pathies nor on thorough knowledge OF eco
nomical and historical facts.

Bishop Coxe's View.

We arc sorry to say that when 1t comes to
worldly facts ministers Of the Gospel are
not unlikely to be among the loosest and
most careless Of public speakers. They may
do very well when they deal with the I'M
demonstrable In the realm Of faith and
dogma. but when they treat OF the affairs OF
this world they are fonder Of generaliza-
lions than they are impressed with the duty
OF accommodating facts to base them on.
A conspicuous illustration OF this clerical
weakness is afforded by the remarks OF
Bishop CLEVELAND COKE at Baltimore last
Sunday evening on the subject OF immi-
grafton. Immigration. said the Bishop OF
Western New York. is moral poison for US.
ut makes tho air We breathe unwholesome.

were not more formidable to primitive
Christian civilization than are the hordes OF
foreigners who are now coming hther.
Under their influence 1.-The higher civiliza-
ton introduced by our forefathers sis
already perishing."
This is very alarming generalization.
but whore are the facts on which the Bishop
bases it Is 1t true that our higher civili-
zation Is perishing. and II it is true. Is i'm
migration the cause OF the calamity
Since the beginning OF this century the
immigration to the United States has ag-
gregated about l6. OOO. 900. and OF that great
number OF foreign settlers. more than nine
tenths have come over SINCE 1s47. or during
the last forty-five years. They have been
nearly az many as the whole population Of
the Union was In 1910. and they and theirs
must make up something like half OF our
present population. Has this country been
running down during that periodp
As to Its material advancement there can
be no question. for 1t is demonstrable by
statistics. 1t has been unexampled In the
history OF the world. and obviously this
wonderful development could not have oc-
CURED without the immigration. The prog
ress In settling this country and utilizing
Its resources would have been retarded by q
century II the millions OF foreigners had
not come over to assist In the task.
During the period OF this great immigra-
ton the republic has also made the most i'm
portant moral and political advancement In
Its whole history. 1t has destroyed slavery
and preserved itself. Those beneaoent re-
suits could never have been accomplished
