a DARK PICTURE.

One Of the Normannia's Passenger Tells
= About their Situation.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 14.-A letter has
been received here by the family of Mrs.
Jesse Tyson, who with her husband was
a passenger on the Normannia, quaran-
tined in New York bay. The letter was
written on Sunday on board the steamer
Stonington, to which boat the cabin pas
sengers of the Normannia. had been
transferred. After stating that fact,
Mrs. Tyson writes:
We are in. need of food, but it was
stated. today that arrangements had
been made to get some provisions from
New'York. We had no food from yes
terday noon until this morning. This
is the first time in my life that ever
retired at night without supper and
without being able to get any. The
children on board are suffering from
the want of real necessaries of life. I
do most deeply feel for them and their
mothers" The. poor little ones are all
the time in the most agonizing manner
crying for food, when it is not on board
to give them.
Two new cases were reported yester-
day and two. today. It is said there
have been fifty-four cases on board, and
most Of these have died when taken to
the island. The Normannia is in
the most filthy condition imaginable.
When we were transferred to the
Stonington the scene was most pitiful
one: The poor second class passengers
were left on board the Normannia in a
miserable condition and the women with
their little children were almost frantic.
The scene was simply heartrending and
indescribable.
We did not get off the Normannia any
too soon, as one of the stewards who
waited on our table was taken sick and
has since died. This old boat that we
are now on is nothing but shell and
she is very much crowded. There are
two persons in every berth. They are
afraid to- fire up the poilers and the
kitchen ranges cannot be used.
Men are kept on watch all the time,
apprehensive that some accident may
occur from fire.
We are paying for everything out Of
our own POCKETS. II we dld not, VIC
would get absolutely nothing to ea
We have to pay the tugs for taking ou
letters, the servants for cooking an,
every expense whatever.
DR.. Brewer, of the Normannia, ha
done most effective work, and had it no
been for him it is hard to tell wha
would have become of the sick on board
It almost breaks ones heart to see tn
misery and suffering Of these poor, fol
saken people and to see the mothers try
ing to keep their children warm b
wrapping them up in their own scant
closhing. Their pale, haggard face
look like helpless animals. The author
ties ought to send here some cheaI
warm blankets that could afterwards b
burned. -. -

The Rapid City Republican makes
the following reference to the opening

1t is.no disparagement to Capt. w.
V. Lucas of Hot Springs, Republican
candidate for congress, to say that he
surprised everybody by his lucid, elo-
ouent and convincing speech at Library
hall last night. The effort was mas
terlv one. 1t aroused the dormant Re.
publicanism of the city and there will
be no further postponementof campaign
duties. About two score Of overcoats
we're taken off last night and the fusion
lists may anticipate war along the whole

A Washington dispatch of the lot

A Washington dispatch of the 10th
inst. says:
The New York Herald claims today
that the national committee has made a
dicker with the Peoples Party by
which two of the electoral votes Of
South Dakota are to be given Cleveland
and the remaining two to Weaver
This dicker was completed in New
York last night. Senator Kyle, it is
said, is to take the stump to urge that
the terms of the deal be carried out.
1t seems, after all, that the Chamber
lain buster about straight ticket was
all for effect, as The REPUBLICAN said
at the time. Other developments here
and elsewhere have tended to confirm
our view that fusion is to be accomplish
ed as quietly as possible, but if Senator
Kyle goes on the stump in its behalf.
we shall have as unique and interesting
a campaign us could be wished for. All
the Republicans will have TO do, in
either event, will be to present solid
front and make an aggressive fight on
orthodox Republican lines.

The Brookings Individual is rightly
named. 1t certainly has an individuali-
ty of its own as an Independent paper,
as the following extract indicates:
1t seems to us that some of our Inde-
pendent friends are devoting altogether
too much space to the championship of
tramps ana strikers. Ii there were no
other grievance to complain of than
that there are tramps in the country,
the labor question would be useless
waste of time. There is nothing in
common between the genuine tramp
and the laboring population OF the coun-
try. 1t is ridiculous to talk about there
being million and half of tramps in
the United States still who are unable
to find employment. That there are
about million lazy vagabonds who are
tramping about the world and who will
not take days work when they can
help it is true. 1t is also true that
there are several thousand men in some
parts of the United States who find
themselves thrown out of work for. a
short time and are allowed to hunt for
work and some times are obliged to ask
for food and lodging. But in a short
time such men will always find work
and man of this class don't find him
self in such straights often. 1t is an in
Justice to such men to class them with
such miserable vagrants who boast that
they never do a lick of work if they can
help it,,

Major Warner of Rockford, Illinois,
and oldtime Democratic friend as we'll
as army comrade of Hon. Geo. A.
Silsby, doubted the recent quoted utter
ances OF the editor of the Durham,
North Carolina, Globe on the pension
question, and wrote that noted fireeater
for his honest sentiments. The editor
of the Globe, which is the leading daily
paper in town of 1l,0O0 people, and
therefore a paper of considerable stand
ing, replies as follows:
1t seems that Mr.. Fairbrother and his
Durham Daily Globe and his Weekly
Globe are not to be left alone. 1t occurs
that Jim Grow nincompoops from all
sections of the country desire to have q
hearing.
The Globe does not care about this
business. because it knows that all of
the radical, rampant and ridiculous
sheets of the north and west will insist
upon throwing up their hands.
We want the sneaks and lousy beg
gars at the north who ravished our wo-
men and burned our homes aud plum
dered our people to shut their gnat-
blown mouths and let the truth be
told.
And the Globe which depises this
burglary and grand larceny called the
pension system, proposes to see to it
that Grover Cleveland sits in the sad.
die the next four years and slaps all the
dirty beggars in the face.
The pension fraud must go.
Go. and it should go. to the depth ol
hell. and Harrison and his hirelings
should go with it.
Comment would be wholly supertlu

There are two WAYS of defeating the G. A. r.

There are two ways of defeating the G. A. r.
appropriation. The first is by voting directly
against it. The second is by going through the
forms of making an appropriation. but pro-
viding that the whole amount shall be taken
from the tar money of the individual citizens
Of the District. One is as effective as the
other. For Washington could not afford to
accept an appropriation for g. A. r.
entertainment which would overturn the
existing financial arrangement between
nation and capital, and cause the
expenses to be paid from a fund, every dol
lar Of which counts for two when expended
under the law for municipal purposes. Wash
ington's legislature is asked to appropriate
800. 900, not what IS virtually 500, 900. from
the Districts legal resources, and it is asked to
make the appropriation under existing law,
and not to disrupt the capitals financial sys-

The reformsin our naturalization laws required
BY the steadily increasing immigration and the
Ills of political, social and Industrial systems
in consequence have been recently pointed on.
by a number Of journals and publicists. The
STAR has given the subject prominence for q
long while. Among the measures mooted from
time to time it has advocated such rs promised
speediest and most certain release from
an unfortunate, not to say unendura-
BILE, condition Of affairs. At this session
of Congress more than one good
bill has been introduced or reported concern
ing both immigration and naturalization. Mr..
Oates bill, reported by the House committee
on Judiciary in March last. Is on the calendar
Of that body. Mr.. John B. Moore, late an as
sistant secretary of state, an acknowledged
authority. SAYS in the current Forum Of the
general scope Of the regulations provided for
n this m easure what The STAR as heretofore
isaid in substance. that they are wei designed
and are obviously restrictive in character.
The feature abolishing the declaration Of
intention IL expedient for the purpose Of
making uniform the political qualfica-
tions OF voters. In addition to the re-
ouirements Of the bill heretofore outlined
in The STAR. Mr.. Moore would require the pc
tition for admission to citizenship and notice to
the district attorney or public prosecutor to be
given from three to six months prior to the
hearing. in order that ample time for inquiries
here and abroad may be afforded. Moreover,
he urges that the petition should show not only.
as is now proposed, a compliance with the re-
auirements Of the law including residence in
the United States for five years. but also the
place of residence in the original country. the
port from which the emigrant came. the date Of
his departure and the steamer on which he
sailed. Among other valuable suggestions
in this connection Mr.. Moore pro-
poses a bureau of naturalization at Wash
ington. in which duplicates Of all recorded
naturalization proceedings shall be deposited
and indexed. Provision should be made, he
thinks. for vacating an illegal record Of natu-
raIization. for there is nothing at present to
prevent the holder from obtaining a new GER
tificate and trying his chances with another
if q consular or diplomatic
agent of the republic retains the fraudulent
certificate. There is also nothing to prevent
the exercise in the United States of the rights
of citizenship denied abroad. Provision also
should be made for FORGETTING naturalization
obtained and used for the pur-
poses of foreign residence. The views of this
writer are practical and well stated in the paper
under notice. and Will doubtless receive atten-
ton from Congress.
