groes Along the Hover

MEMPHIS, Jan. 16.-The Mississippi
river is full of floating icebergs from
Cairo to Vicksburg, and the prospects
for navigation for the next three weeks
are exceedingly gloomy. All OF the
boats in the Memphis trade have been
withdrawn and placed in safe har-
bors. and they will not he put in
commission again until all danger
from the ice is removed. The suspen-
sion of river traffic has caused wide

are on the verge of starvation.

IMMIGRATION.

In the West we need every colony of
industrious Europeans we can get. We
have room enough for them, and are
not III the least afraid that they will
lower our standards of public or private
morality. Taken as a Whole, our new
est immigration is about as reliable and
conservative as our oldest American
population. The cranks appear to be
more abundant among us born Ameri-
cans. Chandler is a crank himself
Kansas City Times.
The idea of turning the current of
European immigration from the United
States to Mexico is much less likely to
be realized than the Cananian idea OF
turning it into the Dominion. There is
not much in Mexico to attract Eu-
ropeans. Although the country is
about a fourth as large as the United
States, and has a population OF not
more than 12,00o,000, which leaves
abundant room for settlers, the condl-
tons of life there are not attractive

Ten years ago a law was passed pro
vldlug that any vessel arriving at our
ports should be carefully searched. and
that ''any convict, lunatic, idiot or any
person unable to take care OF himself
shall not be permitted to land" Should
prohibition go any further? The Courier
thinks not. If the prohibition has not
been effectively enforced the failure
lies with the government officers or is
owing to the negligence of congress in
providing adequate machinery for i'll
Spection.-ButfaIo Courier.
The foreigner who has been able,
under the hard conditions Of his native

the average number of cases very much

ENTAIL BIZ INCORPORATION.

The introduction of Senator SAN
BoRN's bill, providing for an amend
ment to the constitution in effect pro-
hibiting any corporation from owning
more land than is needed for the trans
action of legitimate business, calls at
tention again to a singular oversight of
our lawmakers. We have abolished
the law of entail so far that
real estate cannot be tied up
in family beyond limited
time. We have abolished the law of
primogeniture to prevent the establish
ment of a landed aristocracy. We have
limited to short period the time for
which land may be leased. But we have
left open door by which all these
things may be done. We permit the
formation of corporations with practical
perpetuity, which may buy, hold and
sell lands. Several such corporations
are now in existence, and manv more

COMMITTEE WORK.
An Executive Session on the Of

The joint committee of the house ana

establishing an official journal of the
legislative proceedings met yesterday
after adjournment in executive session.
Just what secret business of the COM
mittee necessitated the exclusion of re-
porters cannot be sarmised, but Sem
ators Donnelly and Smith evidently
thought it would be dangerous to let the
public know by what line Of reasoning
they proceed on so weighty and mys-
terious matter, so the news -gatherers
were politely invited to absent them
selves just as they had settled for bus
mess.
One thing is certain. The honse mem

number of persons needed to form a
corporation is but three. Any man
wishing to form aIanded estate in his
family can 10 it by Incorporating his

TIE Chicago Tribune, noting that
money orders aggregating 81, 100000 had
been sent abroad to relatives, thinks
that there will benone of it under Dem
Ocratic rule, because that will send
down wages TO the pauper. etc. Pro-
lection having done nothing to create
the high-wage standard here, its re-
moval will do nothing to lower it.
What Democratic rule will do is to stop
advertising this as country where the
people ere taxed TO make wages higher,
and will thus diminish the inducements
Tor immigration. With the decrease of
the VOLUME of free labor thus brought
about. there will come a diminished
supply, causing an increased demand
and an Increased wage rate.

The Tribune up at the head, etc., eX-
postulates with Senator HoMPE for ask
ing the state to build an elevator at Du-
luth for the farmers, Oh the ground that
elevating is private business, in which
the state should not engage. The SEN
ator might well ask the Tribune why,
then, it advocates that the govern
ment should engage in building up or
maintaining any industry. Isn't wheat
just as much entitled to consideration
as tin plate? Isn't it just as worthy OF
help from the treasury as sugar? The
Tribune is right, of course, but incon-
6lStent.

Mysterious Death.

On Thursday last the dead body of Johr
neighborhood of Kent, this county, wa,
found on a private road or trail leading
| from deceased's house to the residence o
Joe Elliott, another Of Kent's citizens. The
body was at once conveyed to the house oi
deceased, and the coroner notified of the
fact. The duty of holding an inquest on
the remains devolved on Justice Donohue as
there is no acting coroner in the county.
DIR. l. NJ. Smith, of Moro, and DIR. Rollins,
of Grass Valley, were summoned to make
an examination of the body and hastened to
the scene of the occurrence on Friday after
noon. An examination of the body devel-
oped the fact that the skull was badly frac-
tured, the wound being sufficient to cause
death But how the wound was inflicted
cou not be definitely ascertained. Various
theories are afioat, some being of the opinion
that the deceased fell fiom his horse while
riding home bareback from a neighbor's
house couple of nights previous, and that
in falling he struck some hard substance
causing the fracture on the skull, while
others seem to think that the wound was
inflicted by some kind of weapon or heavy
bar. We have not seen copy of the YER
dict found at the inquest. but learn-that it
is substantially to the effect that death re-
suited from wound on the skull inflicted
by some means unknown.

He had no relatives in the county, his
brother being a resident of California. The
latter has been notified of his brothers. un.

A Successful Trim.

The Regulator had difficult time in get
ting to the Cascades yesterday. At Crates
point she struck an ice pack, broke through
it and proceeded.on her journey A little
farther down she became fast on an ice foe
and was forced to throw line ashore to get
loose. Notwithstanding these obstacles the
boat pulled up at her wharf at the Locks IN
good time, discharged her freight and
started on the return trip about o'clock In
the afternoon. She arrived at Crates point
about o'clock and found that the pack had
again become solid, and experienced great
difficulty in cutting through. Going down
the current was in her favor. but ID return
ing she had to hattie against the force of
the water and break the Ice at the same
time. Soon after IL o'clock at night she
made her wharf not the least damaged by
reason of the difficulties encountered. The
DGlles City was also successful in reaching
the foot of the locks, and was forced to cut
her wav through several distractions. In
the neIghborhood of Vancouver there were
two or three foes through which she was
forced to make a passage.
