Senator Edmuuls in a published inter
view, points out the fact that the result OF
tie recent election shows that tbs govern
ment OF this couatry is to lie carried on &C
cording 90 the expressed wi.hes Of foreign
born c.tiI'ns But setting aside politics, lie
holds that tao social aspect OF the mmigra-
ton question is stu more serious. lie says
that very arge proportion of our imni-
grafton 10 made up Of people whom their
country is G ad to get rid of, not always, or,
perhaps, generally, because vicious or p'u-
pers, but because in their own communities
they are least liable to promote the general

He continues:
"I'hey insist upon retaining their own

schools, in some notable Instances prnctl-
ca " TO the exclusion Of the an -uago OF the

Ex-Sena, or Elmunds thus points out a
serious menace to tho success and welfare
of our republic. The question les already
begun to attract the attention Of leading
thinkers OF our country without regard to
party or sect. 1t is generally agreed that the
United States can no longer afford to lie an
asylum for the oppressed for the pauper,
for the outcast, aud for the criminal and
social scum OF Europe and the East. We
have taken in already as many divergent
foreign elements as We can a,similate, il in
deed We have not already oyertaxel our
powers. The proper thing for Congress to
d. is TO place stringent restrictions upon
immigration and keep out Europe's paupers
and outcasts.

The Democratic Outlook.
From the New York Press.

II the democratic party carries out the
principles of its platform the results will be
so disastrous to American industry that free
trade will be swept or the face of the
American continent four years hence. If
it ignores its platform aud fails to keep its
promises to the people they will know that
they were humbuggei in 1892 and will
sweep the humbugs from power none the
less. Either way the democrats lose.

or clear majority OF thirty-two against
free coinage. Moreover, this estimate Is
very conservative, including only those
anti-silver democrats who arc known, and
taking no account OF now members who
may be equa y sound. "
1t lie TO be hoped for the business stability
and progress of the country that this esti-
mate Of tbs opposition to free coinage in
tho next House Is correct. 1t can not fail to
strike the average reader as significant that
the republican party is relied upon as the
chief bulwark against il hation schemes in
the House. Out OF 221 democratic repre-
sentatives only II arc counted upon to OPP
pose FREQ silver, while of the 12j republicans
all but dozen are regarded rs sound money
men. If the republicans were as largely in
favor of silver as the democratic members

The resolutions Ias,vd yesterday have a

merely urge the extension of psrochial
schools aud the suppemeuting of the in.
sttuction administered in the pubic schools
to Roman Catholic children by religious in
struction at homo or at church. Ihey are
more remarkable, however, for what they
omit than for what they express. There is
not III item single ord of denuuciation Ct
the public schools for the purpose OF admin
istsring secular instruction, for which one
they exist Neither is there e word of cen
sure or the 'Iairbault PLAN or any other
plan Of uniting the advantages Of the public
schools with those Of parochlal schools In
consequence, there is nothing in them to en-
courage the foreign and med @val priests
who have been denouncIng the public
schools, nor to discourage the American and
modern priests who, while they are anxious
10 bring children under the influence of
their church, recognize how benefcent an
institution the public school system is in the

Tho Republican, Awake and Confident OF
Victory In tho FALL

Aho NepuDilchnS NwHko ana Confident OF
Victory In tho Fall.
Specia! Correspondence Of The InGlf5cncer.
BucKHASsoH, W. Va, Feb. o2.-In
speaking to one Of the prominent men
OF the party a few days ago the follow
ing is, if not tho words, the substance OF
what he said: "Thero is little talk 60
ing on politically, but there is a quiet
determination manifested that forbodes
disaster to the Democracy, and cores
pondingly promises Republican success.
The present is thantimc to wrcst West
Virginia from Bourbon rule and it will
be done; This is theway 1t looks to ono
who has carefully watched the shaping
oil events Tor the past three years. The
mounsaineers out this way arc not only
Tree, but the great majority Of them are
Republicans who have registered a SOL
emn vow that the state shall be froe,
The leaven is working. Protection,
reciprocity and honest money must and
will carry in West Virginia. There
have been times before when wc
thought this, and four years ago Golf
this great steal will be rebuked."
There is no particular talk here as to
who tho candidates may be. Good men
on both state and national tickets will
receive the hearty and unqualified sup
port OF all tho Republicans of .Upshur
county, and even some Of the Democrats
will assist, for they see that free trade,
II it become the law, or there is even q
tendency toward it, ut present would be
very detrimental to tho best interests OF
West Virginia. Republicans OF Upshur
county never 90 back on tho party.
They are not built that way. Blaine
was tho favosite for the presidency, but
his declination is taken rs final, and
now Harrison, Alser, Collum or any
other good man will do and will be
elected.
5. 3. Elkins scoms to be tho !avorite
Tor governor, but in saying this noothor
talked OF candidate is belittled.
Put this down and rememberit, that
Upshur county will do her duty, and in
proportion to her population will give
as large majority in November as any
other county in the state" Thuss2olse
an ardent Republican, and your cores
pondent believes he voices tho senti-
ment OF all the Republicans in evory
nook and corner OF the state. The De-
mocracy can SEQ tho handwriting on tho
wall, and as Colonel Cooper, tho editor
OF the Clarksburg News, says, thereis
no Disgusting the fact that there is to be
tho greatest political battle this fall that
was ever fought in the state, and unless
tho Democrats are very wise in their
choice the Colonel thinks the odds are
in favor OF the Republicans.
