The newly rich have their trials the same as other people The Ril- goys have recently come into a for tune and are ambitious of social prominence.

The latter, however, fought bravely and some of their charges against the French were characterized by utter contempt for death. The better arms and superior discipline of the French stood them in good stead, and after severe fighting the natives with drew. The French loss was six killed aTiaA-tsAirtg sAtg wounded.

RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

Smith Clayton, writing from New
York to the Atlanta Journal says he
fails to see anything alarming in the
number of foreign immigrants to this
country. If the dumping of a half mil
lion germ-laden pauper criminals and
vagagOnds into this country each year is
not a subject for SeriOLS consideration
we give it up, says the Albany Herald.
1t is true that there are worthy peO-
ple among the immigrants to this coun-
try, but they are few and far between.
Perhaps not more than 5 per cent. OF
th Sc who are landed make good citiztns,
and nearly three-fourths of the crime
among the whites in this country is
traceable to these foreigners.
OF course no distinction should be
made between a wealthy and poor i'm
migrant, but regard should be had to
health and moral character in consider
ing which should be allowed to land and
which should not.
While the dominance of foreigners is
not to be feared, it is evident that the
number of immigrants is increasing each
year, and it is certain that no good can
be accomplished by an accumulation OF
the poorer classes and criminals of other
nations in our land.
Let foreign immigration be restricted

CITY POLITICS.
Hands off, gentIemen.

III osal campaign is warming up,
snd ne ike to see it SO The activity
wuleh is oeing developed is healthy and
will result in good for the city. The
people ought to feel the liveliest sort OF
interest in municipal politics.
Dawson has always been pervaded by
this feeling, and that is the chief reason
why we have such good city government.
We are confident that the present cam
paign will result in the choice OF good
and capable men to serve Dawson.
We have two strong candidates for the
mayoralty, both of whom enjoy hearty
and enthusiastic support. We think
Dawson can trust .either of them. Six
men aspire to fill the three prospective
vacancies on the aldermanic board.
We are glad that there is no lack of
good material, and theelectiOn soon to be
held will, no doubt, make excellent Sc
lectiOnS.

0fficIOUS MsB0LESOMENESS.

THE News is surprised to know that
the Georgia legislature has been guilty
of endorsing applicants for the position
of postmaster at Dawson under the IN
coming democratic administrator
These able per diem drawers know 40
more about whom the people of Dawson
want for that position than does nanny
goat about the duties of a minister pleh-
jpotentiary. The people Of this comlhu-
nity are intelligent enough to know whom
they want for postmaster, and are capa-
BILE of making a wise selection. Such
bieh-handed interference by body OF
men who have no more interest IN the
office than an inhabitant OF the FIJI is
lands is entirely out of place.
Their duty is to look after the laws OF
tbe state and not to manufacture post
III lsters.
Hands off, gentlemen.

has been wiped out absolutely. There is
nothing left of it but a few snJllygo tiers

Kissing Under tie NIistIctoe.

In many primitive tribes when the chief
or king dies there ensUes Il wild period OF
general license, an orgy of anarchy till a
new king is chosen and consccrated in his
stead to replace him. During this terrible
interregnum or lOrdShin Of miSrule. when
every man does that which is right for
otherwise in his own eyes. all things are
lawful, or rather there are no laws. no law
giver, no executive. But rs soon as the
new chief comes to his own again every
thing is changed; the community resumes
at once its wonted responsibility.
Now, is it not probable that the mid
winter orgie is similarly due to the cutting
of the mistletoe-perhaps even to the kill
ing of the king of the wood along with it?
Till the new mistletoe grows are not all
things allowable? At any rate. cast out
this hint as a possible explanation of sat
urnalian freedom in general and kissing
under the mistletoe in particular. 1t may
conceivably survive as the last faint mem
DRY of that wild orgy of license which ac-
companied the rites of so many slain gods
-Tammuz. Adonis, Dionysus. Attis.
Much mitigated and Modified by civili-
cation and Christianity, we may still see
in it perhaps some dim lincaments of the
mad feasts which Herodotus describes for
us over the dead gods of Egypt. So far
back into the realms of savage thought
does that seemingly picturesque and harm
less mistletoe hurry us.-Cornhill Maya
