the tariff bill estimates the reduction in
the revenues to be made by the Wilson
bill'at S74,000,000. This enormous tax has
heretofore been paid by the masses, and
largely upon the necessaries of life. The

According to the Philadelphia Record
"the tide of migration now flows away
from our shores in greater volume than
towards US" This is very gratifying
piece of news, if it is correct. There is
need for reduction of the idle population
OF the country. and if those unnaturalized
immigrants who have arrived to swell
the volume of the unemployed will kindly
go home, they will thereby win the graft
tude of the natives. The condition of
affairs that obtains in almost every CITY
of the country aud especially in the cities
of the north and northwest should warn
congress that the immigration question is
one that must receive attention at an
early day, when radical departures from
the existing immigration system must be
adopted There should be a halt in i'm
migration, at least, until the immigrants
already here have been better distributed
throughout the country. So long as the
great cities and certain sections of the
country are congested with new Corners.
so long will there be idleness, armies of
unemployed and starvation. What is
needed is to divide the surplus population
Of the north and northwest between the
south and southwest. The south can
accommodate thousands of white workers
with excellent farming lands. But no
loafers are wanted.

The Queens Feeble Health.

Queen Victoria has already reached
and passed the biblical limit of mans
age; she is in the 74th year of her age and
the fifty-sixth year of her reign. She is
an old woman, and must shortly succumb
to nature; therefore, when it is an
nounced, as it was in the public prints of
Great Britain and America on last Satur-
day and Sunday, that she is perceptibly
growing more and more feeble, the an
nouncement is of greatest interest For
following closely at almost any moment
may come the news of her death She is
said to have no specific complaint; she
has merely lived out lifetime, and old
age is doing its work. Her debility at
present is said to be almost general and
quite radical.
The death of the queen at a near
! date would, of course, mean the ac-
cession of Albert Edward, Prince
of Wales, to the throne. The ac-
tual government of Great Britain
would hardly be affected Mr.. Glad
stone would continue to be the prime
minister, until overthrown in the custo-
mary manner, and parliament would sit
as usual.
But a change in the head of
| the government of Great Britain
at this juncture might have far
reaching effect upon the status
of Europe. Great Britain is alarmed
by war scare, and has ordered the
strengthening of her navy. France and
Russia are apparently getting ready to
| fight somebody, and the opinion pre-
walls in London as well as elsewhere. that
! Great Britain will be their first adver-
sary. Precisely how the trouble will be
! precipitated is not known. 1t may be that
the Siamese affair, which has not yet been
settled and in which England is inter
ested, will furnish the spark to fire the
train, or some unlocked for incident NAV
occur and set all of Europe to fighting.
Should the heads of all the great DOW
ers remain unchanged for any length of
| time, the existing state of affairs might
continue for several years. But should
the emergency that will give England
king arise during the continuance of the
present high tension, it is likely that
something very disagreeable would hap
pen. Wales, personally, might not be the
cause of it. He is not very war-like
man, nor aggressive in anything to any
marked degree. But the change would
! send thrill through Europe, and some
incident to the thrill might rupture the
thread that holds the Damocles' sword
suspended over most of the eastern
| world.

modify the situation as to the silver
purchase repeal bill. Voorhees, was in
his seat at IL o'clock, looking some
what tired, perhaps, but alert and re-
solved to push the bill to the last. At
half-past eleven the bill was taken up
on his motion, and Mr.. Stewart took
up his speech at the point where he
had left off ten hours before.
Notices of two amendments to the
bill were given by Mr.. Vest and Mr..
Allen.
Mr.. Vests proposes to repeal the
silver purchase clause of the Sherman
act; the free coinage of silver at the
rate OF 50, 900, 900 month until the
limit of $500. 100000 is reached: the

THE EDWARDS ESTATE.
The Heirs In South Carolina ar
Quietly at Work-A Great Forum
iS nj Stake

The Heirs In South Carolina are
Quietly at Work-A Great Fortune
is at Stake.
The Spartanburg correspondent OF
The State gives the following informa-
tion with reference to the recovery of
the property once owned by Robert Ed
wards, of New York, whose descendants
are quite numerous in South Carolina :
There has been meeting OF the
heirs of one Robert Edwards, who is
supposed to have died in the city of
New York, the fec simple owner of a
tract of land, in the seventh ward, of
some siXty-two acres. The land is east
OF Broadway and includes many magnif-
icent buildings. The heirs are work
ing very Systematically on the case,
and claim to be getting along very
well in securing evidence to establish
their claim. AS indicating that there
must be something in this, a wealthy
lawyer in Now York has offered to put
in 5000, 900 on condition that he is to re-
ceive q certain per cent. of what is re-
covered.
While these heirs are all over the
country and in many States, those who
are most active just now have organic
ed the South Carolina association of
heirs. They have had lawyers working
on the case for several years and de-
tectives galore, and now they say
something must drop. Many OF the
records were found in England. It is
impossible to get at the nature of the
evidence, for the strictest secrecy is
maintained by the parties in interest,
but 1t is certain that they will make q
strong case, showing that in 1778 their
ancestor, Robert Edwards, leased this
property to the vestry of Trinity
Church for the period OF ninety-nine
years. The lawyers seem to think the
title OF Robert Edwards clearly estab-
lished, having the royal grant to this
identical land from King George III, =,
followed by the deed duly recorded,
and also documentary evidence that
establishes the lease to two brothers
and from them to Trinity Church.
