The Restriction of Immigration.

Shall immigration be restricted, and,
If so, how and to what extent, is one Of
the important questions that will in all
probability occupy the attention Of the
coming session of congress. Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire, is the
chairman of committee on the sub
ject which is now sitting in this city,
not for the purpose Of taking testimony,
but of discussing amendments to the
law. His views on the subject are rad
ical, but not more so than those of the
knights of Labor as enunciated by Mr.
Powderly.
The New Hampshire senator and the
general master workman are both of the
opinion that immigration should be pro-
hibited for period of years, Mr.. Chan
dler placing the limit at five. "Wages," !"
he asserts, "cannot be maintained up to
their present standard in this country
unless immigration is stopped. IL wages
are reduced the Democrats will be swept
out of power by popular sentiment" 4"
He adduces these as reasons why, were
he q Democrat, he should vote for the
five years suspension.
Republicans and Democrats are alike
interested in the preservation of the re-
public, in its growth, progress, develop
ment, on sure. broad, steady, time en-
during lines. To that end let us all
unite. The republic should be the first
care Of every American, no matter to
what party he belongs.-New York Re-
corder.

The New York Bank wrcckcrs.

In view of the recent release by par
don of George II. Pell and James A.
Simmons, the alleged "wreckers' of the
Sixth National, Lenox Hill and Equi-
table banks, | made inquiries yesterday
to ascertain If there was any reason why
executive clemency should not as well
be extended to General Peter j. Claassen.
United States District Attorney Mitch
ell as asked, among other questions, if
there was, in his opinion, any reason
why Simmons, convicted upon Claassen's
testimony as an accessory to an embez.
element, was any more entitled TO mercy
than Claassen, the alleged principal n
the transaction. Mr.. Mitchell said that
in the eyes of the law the accessory was
as guilty as the principal. He excused
himself from expressing an opinion as
to the merits of Simmons pardon or the
likelihood of one being obtained TO:
General Claassen.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mitchell was
not favorably inclined to the pardon of
Simmons. The jury, however, made y
recommendation of mercy, which led
Judge Benedict to impose sentence of
but six years for an offense the penalty
of which is a minimum of five and II
maximum of ten years. So far ms this
goes. it only brings into stronger relief
the injustice of retaining Claassen in Jail
while pardoning the other.
Claassen was always regarded by busi-
ness and financial men as the least guilty
of the trio. He so testified, and his
friends and many others believed that
he was entirely innocent of any knowl-
edge of the "checls kiting" operation
carried on by Pell and Simmons.-,New

The Dewey system,

The Dewey system of cataloguing a
library was devised by Mr.. Melvil Dew
ey, at present director of the state Ii
brary. In it all books are classified into
A certain number of principal subjects,
which, in alphabetical order, receive
numbers; for instance, astronomy may
be 1. Then the subjects are divided,
and each division receives decimal; /;
for example, history may be L; thus
lhe history of astronomy is numbered
IL. The divisions are further subdi-
rided, and each subdivision receives q
number expressing hundredths. Books
IN the history of astronomy in America
might be lie.
After these come, when necessary,
further subdivisions still, and then, in
practice, come the shelf marks, which
show where the book is to bo found.
The system, theoretically, is perfect;
practically it is cumbrous, and, except
.othe cataloguer, unsatisfactory. Adapt
ed in various ways, it is used in many
libraries, however.-New York Sun.

A Disconsolnte Governor.

ing in very tough luck. He was elected
governor of Massachusetts the other

Russell, who was pluming his wings for
even the loftiest fight, is. left discon-
solate, standing around on one leg like
rooster in rainstorni
He may continue to draw the salary
and play governor, but all the roseate
dreams that lately flushed his sweet
young life with opalescent waves of in
describable brightness have fled, and he
is left to plod YEARLY along in the gray
mists, breasting the piercing east winds
of the man who is rejected by the peo-
pie, and wins by blunder. "This is

The latest hynotic yarn from the Char
ite hospital, Paris, casts all its prede-
cessors into the shade. DIR. Luys, it ap-
pears, has been making experiments in
relation to what he calls the "exteriori-
cation" Of the human body, and 1t is as
serted that he succeeded in transferring
the sensibility of hypnotized woman
into tumbler of water. When the
water was touched the woman WINGED,
and when it was swallowed she went
into deadly swoon. How the drinker
felt with another persons sensibilities
in his vitals is not stated.
DIR. Luys next undertook to transfer
sensibility from the woman to her pho
tograph, and succeeded so admirably
that when he stuck a pin into the picture
the woman screamed. Not only this, but
the mark of scratch appeared upon her
hand in exactly the spot where the pin
had been applied to the photograph. 1t
is lucky for DR.. Luys that he is living in
the Nineteenth century, for many an old
woman has been hanged and burned for
doing this sort of thing. Sun.

II is to be hoped that the international
copyright, which has just been pro.
claimed as between Italy and the United
States, between President Harrison and
King Humbert, may not throw the plas-
ter cast industry on both sides the At
lantic into economical spasms. But the
current year has developed, and that the
coming year promises still further to
develop, an almost alarming fecundity
among the sculptors of Italy in the way
of sketches, molds and casts intended to
"disfgure and present everything
which did or did not happen, as well as
everything which ought and which ought
not to have happened to the discoverer
of the New World.
Hardly three weeks ago, for example,
Signor Cesare Orsini (who bears name
cherished by Italian patriots) opened in
the Via Magic mt Rome "a Columbian
exposition" of models in clay and plas-
ter, intended to represent all the possible
and impossible phases of the career Of
Columbus. No artist appears to have
dealt with Columbus i'm his cradle, or
with Columbus at the marriage altar,
but Signor Macaghani contributes an
alarming image of an angel whisking
off to heaven the soul of the dying navi-
gator, and Signor Guilianotti an aston
ished image of Columbus catching his
first glimpse of the New World. Nine

Last winter d. w. Little, one of the
adobe farmers on the west of town, shot
into band of geese. A white gander
was struck and had one wing broken.
Mr.. Little took the goose home and gave
him to his boys, who doctored his wing.
and he soon became so tame as to follow
the boys wherever they went, eat from
their hands, and even poke his head into
their pockets for corn or wheat. A few
days ago band of wild geese flying over
the premises and making their usual
clatter attracted the attention Of the do
mesticated gander, which gave an out
landish display of quacking and shrill
yells in goose language that had most
startling effect with the band flying past.
A fine white goose was seen to leave
the band and shoot down until it landed
in the yard at the side of the pet, and
the meeting was demonstrative to an ex-
citing degree. Their gabbling, quack-
ing and amusing antics afforded as much
fun for the boys who witnessed the meet
ing as they could have found at circus.
The new arrival refuses to leave, but
will fly over the fence when the two are
approached by the boys, and then fly
back to its mate when the boys step
aside.-Biggs (Cal) Argus.

Water Clocks in China.

In the history of the Tang dynasty it
is stated that in Persia at the same period
there was clepsydra on terrace near
the palace, formed Of balance contain
ing twelve metal balls, one of which fell
every hour on a bell and thus struck the
hours correctly. 1t is deemed not un-
likely that this instrument was identical
with the celebrated one which the king
of Persia sent in the year S01 to Charlie
magne.
In s9S the astronomer Tsiang produced
an improvement on all former instru-
ments-a machine arranged on sort of
miniature terrace, ten feet high and di-
vided into three stories, the works being
in the middle. Twelve images of men,
one for every hour, appeared in turn be-
fore an opening in the terrace. Another
set Of automata struck the hours and
eighths of hours. These figures occupied
the lowest story.
The upper story was devoted to as
tronomy, containing an orrery in mo-
ton. Very complex machinery must
have been required. AS to the nature
of the mechanism nothing is known ex-
cept that it was kept going by falling
water.
Inasmuch as the Arabs had reached
China by sea at the close of the Eighth
century, some assistance may have been
derived from them in the construction
of this complicated instrument, but in
all probability it was wholly Chinese

The one discovery above all others that
has made Ambrose Pare famous for all
time was the plan, which he was the first
to suggest, of tying the arteries after the
surgical removal of limb. In one part
of his writings he gives a curious ac-
count of case of successful amputa-
ton, in which he appears TO have antici-
pated one of the latest of modern fads
and to have used music as medicine.
The patient had been wounded in battle.
The famous surgeon took him in hand,
successfully amputated the limb, using
his new plan of tying the arteries, and
when the sufferer began to mend pre-
scribed what the quaint English Of the
translation describes rs ga consort of
violins and jester to make him merry"
In a month the patient was able to hold
himself up in a chair and was carried
down to the gate of his castle to see the
people pass by.
A successful issue to such an operation
must have been of rare occurrence, for
we are told that 1.-The country people of

Color In the Streets.
A suggestion has been made by an

A suggestion has been made by an In.
genious writer which deserves the SYM
pathetic attention of all who are inter
ested in the personal appearance of the
metropolis. Though lucid intervals Of
sunshine occur in which "the ancient
Strand" takes on glory such as that
described by Mr.. Henley in his "London
Voluntaries," we have ne reached u
season In which the prevalent aspect of
our streets is one of well nigh unre-
lieved gloom. So long as the weather is
dry certain amount of variety is in
fused into what one may call the street
scape by the hats and dresses of our
womankind.
But when the rain comes down and
the ladies stny indoors almost the only
cheerful objects to meet the eye are what
Homer wouid have called the ruddy
checked omnibuses and pillar posts.
"Why," asks the writer, "cannot this
idea be elaborated in the cause of art
and cheerfulness?" And he goes on to
plead eloquently in favor of the intro
duction of "merry mackintoshes"-
let, orange, sky blue, emerald green and
purple-and brightly tinted umbrellas.
The idea certainly deserves a trial.
At present, with that utter absence of
all sense of proportion which character
ICES the actions of civilized humanity in
regard to dress, we don our gayest garb
when the sun is brightest, and reserve
our most sober habiiments for days
when the sky is overcast and the sun in
visible. In other words, we enter into n
vain competition with the all sufiicing
radiance of nature, and strive to accen-
tuate her gloomiest moods. Rather, in
the interest of happiness and mirth,
should we endeavor to coupteract the
depressing influence of fog and damp by
a lavish display of bright and exhilarat-
ing color. Armed with an emerald green
mackintosh-painted in luminous paint
for use at night-a man would radiate
cheerfulness even in the midst of a
