among lab0ung foreigners. And these
three questions are connected in a most
intimate manner just now, for immigra-
ton has already set in heavily for 1893,
the cholera is certainly roviving in east
ern Europe, and il il gets here it will, as
Sam wilkinson said Of the Beccher scan
dal and % certain religious book, ''lnock
tho Worlds fair higher than Gilderoy's
kite"
There is o touch Of the comical in the
way public opinion suddenly shifted on
this question Since 18i4the immigrants
have never been less than 10Q,O0O q year,
and only i'm the "hard tines Of 1869
did they fan below 900, 900 a year. Then
the number suddenly went up beyond
precedent since Israel left Egypt, reach
ing ass, gJ2 inis32. The labor organiza-
tons cried aloud and wcro. laughed at.
In the decade OF 1s50-0O the newcomers
were far moro than twice as many as in
any previous decade and almost doubled
the number Of foreign born in the coun-
try. "Cheap labor5rs' by the hundred
thousand came from Italy, Russia, Po-
land and elsewhere. Still thelabor organ
izations were scarcely listened to. All
at once the cholera threatened. An ele-
CANT steamer loaded with the elite Of tho
"Four Hundred had to suffer a miser-
able quarantine, and, 10, as Samuel Com
pers said, ~ shriek from swelldom to
shut ont every dcmd immigrant, don't
yer know"
The net result has been law which
on It's face is ironclad, trick proof and
perjury tight. Previous laws secured
by the labor organizations were rather
stringent, but this one, which went into
effect at the close Of the last congress, is
simply "corker" BY IL tho intruding
immigrant must under oath tell all about
his race, name, age, sex and condition;
where he came from, whittier he is going
and what he IS going 90 do when be gets
there; whether he has money, and, if 50,
how much; whether he has ever been in
a prison, hospital or quarantine; whether
he O. q polyglmist or thinks Of becoming
one; whether no is vaccinated or peck
marked, skilled or unslilled or under
coutract;whethor ho is a thief, pauper,
a fugitive, cripple, an idiot or a habit
ual druukard or is conscious Of inclina-
lions to become either Of such.
OF course this IS only summary, but
it Is really no oxaggcration. In addition
to all this, nine experienced surgeons Of
the marine hospital service, appointed by
the president, have gone TO the principal
foreign ports with almost despotic pow
ers Of inspection Of immigrant vessels.
These are: Surgeon George Puryiance Of
Philadelphia, assigned to Liverpool;
Passed Assistant Surgeon WI. Pettis Of
Buffalo to Southampton; Assistant Sur
geon II. j. E0senan to Antwerp; Passed
Assistant Surgeon J. II. White of Savan-
nah 20 Hamburg; Passed Assistant s. o.

SENATOR HIGGINS made great hit
in his speech in Detroit on the subject
of Annexation. II was the utterance
of great tatesman and he well de-
serves the flood of compliments that
has poured in upon him from Demo-
cratic as we'll as Republican sources.
Immediately upon his entrance into the
Senate four years ago Mr.. Higgins tooF.
foremost position and has more than
held his own ever since. While he is
not heard as much as some of the
others, for he never talks unless he has
something to say, yet whenever it is
known that he is to make speech he
is accorded the unusual compliment OF
a full attendance Of the members. His
Detroit speech has attracted universal
attention, for probably the subject had
never before been so clearly and forci-
bly, set forth as by him. Logical, con-
vincing and eloquent was this speech
and Mr.. Higgins reflected not only
great credit upon himself but upon the
state he so ably represents.

THE TRANSCRIPT joins with the
citizens in welcoming to our town the
Methodist Episcopal Ministers who
will attend the 25th annual session of
the Wilmington Conference. The ses
sion will open on Wednesday the 10th
inst, with 200 ministers and official
visitors present. 1t promises to be n
delightful occasion, with no influences
to disturb the harmony which now pre-
walls. 1t gives promise of being as
pleasant and delightful as the proceed
ing sessions, since the Crisfield Confer
ence have been unpleasant and dis
turbed. The conditions which for SO
long disturbed the peace and harmony
of the church have been removed, and
the quarter-centennial session promises
to be the most delightful for years. in
that they represent to-day a united
church working together in the great
cause of Christianity. Again we wei
come them and we know they
will be pleased with our people for
there are no kinder or more hos
pitable people in the country than the
citizens of Middletown. The town
will be theirs for the week, and though
they will capture us, the people will cap
ture them with their kindness and hos
pitality.

THE contrast between the manner of
life to-day and that of century ago is
nowhere more apparent than in our
modes of travel. These are indeed
eventful years, and a man of to-day ex-
periences more in year than bis grand
father did in lifetime. Then but few
persons Travelled beyond the sight of
their own roof tree; and the faces of
kindred and neighbors were all they
ever saw. But our railroads and steam
boats have freed us from the bondage of
location, and there is no one influence
that has so quickened our moral and
mental activity as our improved meth
ods of travel. When Washington was
inaugurated President, it took four days
to 90 from Boston to New York. Now
a man can leave Boston in the morning,
reach New lork, transact business and
return home by evening. We live,
not so much in years as in experience at
this period If the world. Men think
and act quick, and we go at a lOcomo-
tive speed and though it may be u
speed that kills, there are but few who
not prefer it to the lazy ox's pace of our
grandsires. 1t was formerly the case
that = larger per cent of farmers be-
came insane than any other class of
men, because of the insufferable monot-
ony of their lives. Now the farmer has
everything that anyone else has. The
railroad has brought the town and farm
together, carried the daily paper to the
rural tireside, makes trips to the ci y
easy and cheap and each day the rush
of passing trains awaken the quiet val
leys with a thrill of life. Those who
dwell in remote sections can know all
the great events as they happen. For
instance, every American citizen knew
on the day following the recent inaug-
urati0n, as much or more than
those who were eye witnesses, for the
newspaper accounts were SO delight
fully graphic that the minutest detail
was not overlooked The reader had
the advant age over the spectator in this
as in other pageants; secure from the
inclement weather he viewed the scene
from all sides, and after seeing the
rev President safely dimiciled in the
White House. he also followed the re-
firing President 10 his old home and
saw the demonstration 7aasur8 from
old friends over his private
life. Truly railroaua HSpapers
are the greatest of a.. -ua ~anderful
products of the nineteenth century
genius. By them more lives have been
widened and more new experiences
given to the world than by any of our
modern discoveries.

produce, and those who were subjected
to its dampenipg and chilling influence
are more than willing to have the DAY
changed to more ansptcious season.
Any ceremony in which the people
have SO great an interest as the IN
augural ceremony, should be performed
when they could attend without risk
ing their life and health. Washington
was first inaugurated on April Both,
but his second Inauguration was per-
formed on March 4tb, ann every sue
ceeding president has been inaugurated
on that day. Now after a lapse OF
these many years there is a strong
sentiment in favor of restoring the
first inaugural day, April Both. We
hope that, or some other good day will
soon give place to the time-honored
March 4th.

Now the special constables will get
their pay from the State. We presume
it never made the slightest difference to
them from what source the compensa-
tion came so they were paid for services
rendered. The $4,000 deficiency in the
State Treasury, of which We hear SO
much, did not prevent the members of
the Legislature from adding $4,000
more to it. Why should it? The
dignity of the State must be preserved
at any cost. Appropriations for the
Worlds Fair Commission or Delaware
College are important, but not so much
80 as dignity. Kent and Sussex came
near forgetting the debt they owed this
noble army of 1900 constables good and
true, who did so much to preserve them
from Republican rule, and now the
constables will receive their SIS per
head.

MANY of the city newspapers re-
cognize the value of women as adver-
tising or soliciting agents, assuming
that the same sweet, persuasive power
that are SO successful in securing seal
skin coats and spring bonnets would be
equally successful in a business transac-
tlon, andthe facts prove the wisdom Of
the assumption, and especially when the
agent is young and fair, advantageous

throw their influence on the side of

be better. The citizens should not only
thoroughly understand public affairs,
but should take active part in directing
them. 1t is his right and duty in free

public affairs is to criticise the mistakes
of others, themselves make big mis-
take.

A LEADING New York daily, in

A LEADING New York daily, in de-
Tending the Sunday Saloon Question,
says: 1.-THE proposal to open the saloons
on Sunday afternoon has the approval
of many Of our wisest public men,
clergymen, reformers and students of
social conditions" This assertion nat
urally causes much surprise, especially
among the lovers of good morals. That
great paper and public teacher should
advocate such course also is a great
surprise. The law at present requires
saloons to be closed on Sunday, but be-
cause it has been so feeblye nforced of
late years, it is assumed that public
opinion does not favor its enforcement.
If the question is brought before the
people of the State Of New York for
decision, there will be proof as to
whether or not public sentiment is on
the moral decline.

THE plea Of the young Princess Kalu-
lani will probably not have weight
with the United States Govern
ment in the matter of the annexation
of Hawaii. The principles of Ameri-
canism are directly opposed to the
hereditary rights of rulers, As
measured by the American standard,
Kalulani has no claim to the throne of
Hawaii. When she speaks of 'my
throne" and '.my kingdom" she is not
likely to appeal to the sympathies of
Americans. If Ka'ulani owns hou' e
and lot or banana patch in Haw il, her
rights should be protected, whatever
may be the outcome of the annexation
negotiations. But her claim to the
ownership of; ef The The %hele country is

THE reason why the fourth of March

THE reason why the fourth of March
was chosen for the inauguration Of a
President of the United States is mex
plicabIe to most people. 1t certainly
comes at the most inclement Sc lson of
the year. In 1888 Congress resolved
that the Inauguration of the next Pre- :
dent should take place on the first
Wednesday of March. That happened
to be March 4, and Congress subse-
quently fixed that date for the inaug-
uration, with no better apparent motive
than that it would be following pre-
cedent.
