Hail in Chicago.

Persons meaning to visit the Chicago
show and expecting to patronize a Chicago
fireproof hotel. will not regard with Joy the
incident Of last Friday. On last Friday
Chicago INDUCED In one Of its little weather
sprees. According to the accounts. the tenn
perature Of Chicago on that day was as high
as you would naturally look for in a town
which occupies the exact su~persheolian
place Of Chicago. There was nothing sur
prising in the temperature. but pretty soon
there came up. or came down. a hail storm.
Under that hail storm three altitudinous
ireproof Chicago hotels. intended for Wis
itors only. fell into the void at once. The
hail touched them. and they sank without
protest or resistance.
These little epileptic fits OF brick and
steel and mortar are common enough in
Cook county. but for strangers they still
have a certain interest. For the benefit of
these persons would it not be well for
Worlds Fair hotels to hang out a shingle:

Hoke Smith and the Choctaws.

After prolonged deliberation Secretary
HoKE SMITH has requested tho War De-
partment to send troops to preserve the
peace and protect life and property at and
around Antlers in the Indian Territory.
This action Is based on the treaty Of 1865.
which provides that the Government shall
protect the Choctaws and Chickasaws from
such disorders as now prevail among the
former nation. No doubt the presence Of
troops will be the surest guarantee against
a renewal Of hostilities between the Choc-
taw factions. Nominally the trouble has
arisen from the attempt to arrest persons
charged with completely In the murders OF
last autumn. II that were the whole case.
the decision would naturally BIO In favor Of
the Choctaw authorities. who have called
out the militia to aid In the arrests.
But 1t is not quite the whole case. Those
assassinations were the sequels OF q fierce
political canvass. The victims were men,
bers OF the Progressive party. which tri-
umphed. while the culprits belonged to the
National party. Arrests were promptly
made Of all those supposed to be concerned
in the affair; but now Governor JONES has
been sending his militia to arrest LOCKE. a
prominent National. and others: and 1t Is
said that the surrender OF men was de-
manded for whom no warrants were Issued.
Agent BENNETT. who was called in, after
examining all the facts. finds that the
militiamen were the aggressors in the affair
at Antlers. and that the LOCKE party. which
Is now strongly intrenched. was the ag-
grieved side. On such an official report the
Intervention Of United States troops be-
comes all the more necessary as preliminary
to a settlement. There are enough OF them
available at Fort Supply. Fort Reno. and
Fort Sill. Besides. the Choctaws. fercely
as they quarrel among themselves. do not
resist the United States Government. The
Choctaws used to live in the western part
OF Georgia. rs the colony was when it
included Alabama. and the Hon. HoKE
SMITH Is o Georgia man.

Tho People Of the South.

One interesting feature of the Federal
census. the details OF which are still ap
pearing on the installment plan. has
passed almost unnoticed though IL is I'M

teen States which constitute what has come
to be known geographically as the South Is.

| population in these fourteen States is 455,-

United States generally. the proportion OF
| foreign-born inhabitants has stood steadily
at 10 or IA per cent. In 1860 1t was
1915: In 1870, 14A: in 1880. 1882. and
in 1890, 14.T7. In the South. however.
the proportion OF f~oreign-born inhabitants
continues to be inflnitesimal. The havoc OF
war. the onset OF spectators and adven-
turers at its close. the development OF
manufacturing industries, and the extern
sion of the railway system have wrought
no change. The tide Of emigration keeps
north Of the Ohio. The foreign-born inhabi-

being a byword would become q State OF
importance. with a future to count
upon. What Washington and Idaho may
desire to do. II anything. toward form
ing the proposed new State from portions
Of their areas Is a matter that concerns
themselves. Should such a State be formed
in season, there might be no objection to

turn for the latter's large accretion OF area
and population from Utah. But the reha-
bilitation Of Nevada as a State. instead ofits

plishing this q further rectilcation OF
boundaries on natural lines could be effect
ed by setting OF the northwestern corner

Nevada. This would be the moro readily
conceded should another State be by

There Is q reason for everything. and the
most plausible and satisfactory reason
creditable to the people Of the South for
the fewness Of foreign-born persons
among them is the fact that the surplus
supply Of the cheap labor Of negroes keeps
down to Improbable figures the rate OF
wages. and industry does not thrive or in
litieal considerations have nothing to do
with the matter. The farmer. mechanic.
husbandman. or retailer seeks. when emf
grating from one place to another. the To-
cality where his labor will be best requited;
and the maintenance OF high wages has
kept the gates OF entry in the United States
swinging inwardly since 1861. But the
South. as we see. has had little and gets
little of the stream.
