PreDaring for Cholera.

The New York HrdIPs Washington cor
respondent has interviewed a great many
Senators and Representatives with refer
ence TO restriction Of immigration.
Nearly all of the members say that they
are willing to vote for a stringent measure
to protect the country from a cholera in
vasion. Beyond that most of them are not
willing to express themselves in precise
language; though IN general terms the
great majority are in favor of "a judicious
restriction" They would, of course, have
undesirable" immigrants and danger
Gus" classes excluded.
DAVID Is. HILL, VANCE, BUTLER of South
Carolina. CARLISLE. and FAULKNER are
among those who are 81 in favor of restric-
ton" DANIEL. HUNTER, BRIoK, BLACKBURN,
RANSOM, and VOORHEES, arc put down as

The predominant idea of congressman is
to close our portsfo oneyear toimmigrants
(steerage passengers) and meantime to
adopt proper safeguards for ell subsequent
time.
That is the correct view. Let the pres
tuI OOuRttSo saw US rum OlipAoAn fioibh-
ton next year, and permanent PROVISIONS of
law on the subject can be supplied by the
new Congress.
One of the motives which seem to be
actuating congressman to prompt and de-
cisive action is the fear that unless the i'm
migrants are kept out Of this country in
1893 .he Chicago Exposition will DO bank
rupted but it is o. far greater conse-
auence that the public health should not
be bankrupted. Still, whatever is done in
this direction for the protection Of the
exposition will be for the benefit OF all
the country, for should cholera ever sue
coed in getting foothold at New York,
New Orleans, or Chicago 1t would soon
spread all over this land. Hence the in
terest OF one community is the interest of
all.
BY the way, we trust that the health au-
thorities of Richmond are taking adyau-
tage Of the winter season to prepare this
city against any invasion of cholera. Fore
warned ought to find US forearmed.

Constitutionality Of the Nicaragua Bill.
Mr.. OATES and Mr.. MORGAN. both of Ala
bama, are able constitutional lawyers.
They agree in the opinion. we believe, that
a governmental appropriation to the Mica
ragua-canal scheme is constitutional MIR.
MoRGAN quoted the following ingenious
argument from one OF Mr.. OATEs'ssp speeches:
Prom my investigation II seems 10 have been
the conclusion OF a majority both In the Senate
and in the House upon those occasions that tho
Constitution OF the United States Is n limiiation
upon the power Of Congress within the territory
over which the Constitution was intended TO
operate: In other words, that IL is a Limitation
upon the parties 20 its creation; and, although
Il seems paradoxical 20 say that Congress may
aid the people Of other nations with charity
voted out OF the Treasury, but has no right to
vote such charity 10 any portion OF our own peo-
pie, yet that seems to be the fact beyond contro-
versy 10 the mind OF any lawyer who viii thor
oughly investigate the question"
Mr.. MoBGAN then added:
"And II Congress, seeing ~. has the power, In
the opinion of that eminent lawyer, to pass that
appropriation for the sake Of sweet charity,
certainly Congress may pass an appropriation.

aud 10 save a transit OF from ten 10 fifteen days
for our men-ol-war to the Pscihc Ocean"
So the Nicaragua scheme ought not 10
be opposed because of the unfounded as
sumption that it is unconstitutional to
vote money to such project. A govern
ment which Is 70 powerful for evil as IS

Would ii not be well for the leading Democrats
OF this and other sections Of the State TO give
some thought to the question Of adopting tho
Australlau-ballot law, or modification Of 1t, in
lieu Of our present election lawf-Sa!em Time
Register
This is evidence of the fact that the peo-
pie of Virginia are seriously debating in
their minds how they can best confine the
ballot to the men who know how to use it
honestly and intelligently.

MIR. Cleveland and the Pension List


In his letter accepting the nomination
Of the Chicago Convention Mr.. CLEVELAND
said:
"our pension-roll should DO roll OF honor, un-
contaminated by I'll desert and unvitiated BY
demagogic use."
But is it so now? Think OF it. An army
of 100000 pensioners twenty-seven years
after the war ended in which these "vete-
rams" claim to have earned the right
not to petition for pensions. but to de-
mand these pensions as theirs by reason
of service Mr.. CLEVELAND very properly
ntimates that our pension list is o roll of
I'll desert"
Has Congress the courage to have this
immense pension list revised? Let the
people 60 through campaign OF educa-
ton" on this subject and they will vote
cheerfully to pay pensions only to persons
entitled to them.

Docs Not Like.
do you know" said a pretty girl
who officiatcd as cashier in fashiona-
BILE restaurant, these men nearly drive
me crazy. / don't know why it is, but
they all seem to think that because
they like my looks I must like theirs,
and all the time they're eating they sit
and stare and stare and stare. I'm
compelled to keep my eyes down con-
tinuously. If chance to look up at
a man, whether he's married or single,
young or old, he's sure to fix me with a
smile. Then of course I must smile
back, just so that his appetite won't be
spoiled, you know, But when they be-
gin to talk to me I turn them down
down to the ground. I mortified an
editor this evening, and l feel rather
sorry about it now. because he's
rather handsome young man with a
wife and family that he loves too well
to forsale Tor me, I know. But he had
no right to start conversation, any
way. He said: "Isn't it too bad for me
to have to go back to work again to-
night after eating this expensive din
ner? His bill, by the way, was IS cents.
Yes, It is said I. Where do you work"
I'm with the Howler,' he answered
WELL said, you printers always do
have hard times, anyway He blushed.
DO look like printer? he groaned.
To be sure you do, answered, with a
smile, and he walked off without an
other word. hope that that's the last
I'll ever be troubled with him. ''-Phila-
