General Francis A. Walker, president of
the Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
twice superintendent of the United States
census, and one of the ablest students of
economic science in the country, is very
positively of the opinion that the charac-
ter of our immigrants have rapidly deteri-
Grated, and that it is having its effect upon
the character of the great body of the
American people. He defines immigration
as "a pipe line draining every foul and stag
nant pool" "Instead of taking the best
people of the best countries we get the
beaten men of beaten countries" And he
adds, "The danger is industrial rather than
political. 1t is a menace to the American
rate of wages and the American standard
of living. Mining, cigar and clothing man
ufacturing are already exhibiting the evil
effects of this competition"

The water Question.

Believing, as we do, that the problem of
water supply for this village lies in the
proper equipment and continued use of the
Crowell system, and not in the intrOduc-
ton of rival system, unless circum-
stances arise which compel the latter
course, we think the result of the special
village meeting Tuesday evening was the
proper and satisfactory outcome for all
the interests concerned. The committees
work within the scope of their instruc-
tions, was well done, and their report was
Justly entitled to acceptance and adoption.
But there were other enquiries which the
public were entitled to have made.
Since we are, in a certain sense, at
turning point on the question of water
supply, it is better for all concerned that
there should be a full understanding on
every question involved. Mr. Martin
spoke truly when he said that the best
friend of the Chestnut Hill company is he
who demands the fullest investigation of
the whole subject. Such an investigation n
will clear up misunderstanding, wipe out
unjust suspicious, If they exist, and estab-
lish good feeling between the company and
its customers. In the heart of every good
citizen there is cordial recognition of the
public spirit, and sincere desire to benefit
his townsmen, which has marked Mr..
Crowers career. Much of his work has
doubtless been done to his own personal
loss, and there are few who would wish to
see damage done to his property interes Is.
But coincident with this is the right of the
public to have its interests protected. The
Chestnut Hill Reservoir company has been
given a valuable franchise to which it owes
the public in return the best possible serv-
ice, at a fair rate of compensation. This
is the gist of the whole matter. Let the
bailiffs now do their supplementary work
with .thoroughness and impartiality, giving
the village full information on the points
committed to them, and the outcome, we
are confident, will do no injustice to any
private interest.

Where Is the NarOnic?
She Has Not Been Heard From for ~
Days---75 People on Board.

She Has Not Been Heard From for ~
DRys---75 People on Board.
Nothing has been heard from the White
Star steamship Naronic since it left Liver
pool for New York q days ago. The
Naronic had crew of 50 men, and dozen
cattlemen and their employees made total
of about 75 persons on board. The Mar
onic is a steamship of 5000 tons and
carried cargo of 1000 tons. She is a
new vessel, equipped with twin scews and
the latest and best machinery. If she is
indeed lost, with all on board, it will be
the first instance of the total disappear
ance of well-appointed modern timer"
Such mysterious tragedies used to be
frequent enough in the early days of trans
atlantic navigation. In 1871 the Presi-
dent, with large company of passengers,
many of them persons of distinction, sailed
and never was heard of afterward. In
1856 the same dark fate befell the mag
nificant Collins ship Pacific. The City of
Boston suddenly vanished on voyage to
Europe in 1870, and to this day nothing is
known as to why or how she foundered.
The latest example of this saddest of all
marine disasters was the disappearance of
the National line steamer Erin in Decem-
ber, 1899. This vessel was of an obsolete
! type, however, and carried no cabin passen-
gers.
In shipping circles i'm New York it is
generally believed that the Naronic will
never be seen again. 1t is thought that a
shaft went crashing through the bottom of
the vessel. The pressure of the water
would in time break through the bulkheads
| and the vessel would sink

EX-President Harrison and his family,
including his small grandchildren, left
Washington by special train over the Penn
sylvania road at o'clock Saturday after
noon. He spent Sunday at Pittsburg with
his old pastor, Rev. DR.. Kumler, and late
in the evening continued his journey to his
home.,in Indianapolis. On his arrival
there at 1920 A. NJ, Monday the, city was
gayly decorated, the streets were thronged
with people to give him welcome, and a
long procession was formed to escort him
to the hotel where he had dinner. Later
in thesafternoon Gen. Harrison was driven
to his old home on North Delaware street,
with Mrs. Mckee and her family. The prin-
cipal demonstration took the form of a re-
ception in the state house in the evening.
The addresses of welcome were couched
in the warmest terms, and Mr.. Harrison
replied lin a speech full of feeling, All in
all it was a tribute of personal respect and
affection from the source that any man
would value most-his own neighbors and
towns folk

Full Power,

The present roll call of the Senate shows
A Democrats, IS Republicans, one Popu-
list, one Independent, one Farmers Alli-
ance, and three vacancies. The vacancies
are one each in Montana, Washington, and
Wyoming. Two of these have been tempo

Democrat, from Wyoming, and Lee Man

all three vacancies be eventually filled by
the election of Republicans, which is barely
possible, the Senate, even with the COM

a tie, with Vice-President Stevenson hold

of the house, as shown by the unofficial

Aner pInner speaklng.

An after dinner speech should never
be wholly facetious, unless the speaker
is very facetious indeed and cuts his
speech short. 1t should not be frivolous,
even when the speaker is full Of frivolity.
II must not under any circumstances be
silly, though there be people who laugh
at Stiffness. II must not be too long
winded, OF highly exciting, or overheavy,
or ultra argumentative, or entirely sta
tistical, or in the least rancorous. An
after dinner speech should be appropriate
70 the occasion and delivered on time.
IL may contain some essential thoughts,
some strokes Of humor, some scraps Of
knowledge, some bits Of fancy, some
sound reasons, some good whims, some
green dressing and little fat.
Every ablebodied man of New York is
apt 10 be an after dinner speaker some
time in his life. 1t is possible that as
many as 5000 after dinner speeches have
been made here during one winter sea-
son. One man has a record Of 10 of them
for a single week, three Of them for one
evening.
We have heard some tiptop after din
ner speeches, few. We have heard
others that were wearisome, inappropri-
ate, exasperating, enfeebling or foolish.
We have heard several which were rant
or drivel.
