A CURIOUS pocUmEsT.

The letter addressed to President Cieve-
land by Debs aud Sovereign, which was
published among our dispatches yesterday,
makes clearly manifest the utter insin-
certify of these men, who are juggling with
the peace and prosperity of the nation.
The letter 10 a formal protest against the
use OF Federal troops in the present crisis,
which Debs and Sovereign profess TO re-
gard as step toward military despotism.
Ii concludes with a promise that Debs and
Sovereign and their followers will them-
selves see TO the uphoiding of the Law, the
prevention Of violence and tie punish
ment Of criminals.
In other words Debs and Sovereign pro-
test against the measures taken to sup
press disorder. though they disavow all
sympathy with Iawlessness and profess to
believe that II is the work Of roughs and
hoodlums who have no direct connection
with the railroad strike.
1t must be remembered that not O shot
was fred by regular or militiaman at
Chicago until workmen had been stoned
TO death at their posts by rioters, until
hundreds Of loaded cars had been burned
by incendiaries. until tracks had been
torn mp and trains wrecked, until the food
supply OF great city had been cut of.
even the milk trains being wrecked by
frenzied rioters. Anarchy prevailed, and
neither life nor property was safe. Not
until this state of affairs existed did the
soldiers incur the displeasure of Debs
and Sovereign by firing at the rioters.
II this violence was the work Of irrespon-
sible toughs ana anarchists, as Debs and
Sovereign assert. IL they in truth realize
that 1t Injuries the cause which they rep
resent. why do they object to the meas
ures taken by the government To restore
order7 Why do they raise their voices in
protest because soldiers wearing the uni
form Of the United States stop the lawless
work of murderers and incendiaries9 III
the rioters have no connection with the
strike. why should Debs and Sovereign
protest because measures are taken TO put
an end TO the reign of terror and blood
hhed7 II. on the other hand. II 10 the
strikers who are doing this lawless work
the pretense that tho strike is peaccable
one should be thrown aside once for all
and the American people should under.
stand ct once what IL is they are called
upon TO face.
pehs and Sovereign evidently take the
American people for fools. Otherwise
why should they expect them to believe
their protestations Of loyalty and love OF
order while they protest against every
effort made by the government TO over
come lawlessness and suppress downright
instruction.

Decrease i'm Foreign immigration.


During the first three months OF 1894 the
immigrant arrivals decreased from 9s. 7g9
in 1892 and 71.e40 in 1883 TO only IS, 27s in
1894 In April less than half as many inn
migrants arrived as in April. 1888, showing
still heavier rate of decrease This de-
crease has been most heavy in the coun-
tries whence our most desirable immi-
grants are drawn. The movement from
Russia during the years four opening
months was actually larger than last
years; Italy's immigration fell of barely
one-half. But the movement from Great
Britain and Ireland decreased from IS, 624
in 1898 TO Is. 66s this year; the German inn
migration from 27.064 to IL, Isl, while that
from Sweden and Norway fell from 1882
to 5,2lS. decrease OF more than 90 per
cent.
The Russian immigrants are still practi-
caliy under sentence of Punishment from
Russia; ltallan laborers find harder times
at home than they will encounter here.
Meantime the Germans. English and
Scandinavians are undoubtedly influenced
by the fact, already proved in other ways,
that business generally in their own
countries, and hence the chance for en-
ployment. have been improving more rap
idly this year than business In America.
More foreign laborers (chiehy Germans re-
Gently arrived and not yet domesticated)
were going home than we're arriving from
Europe. In 1857, 25l. 306 immigrants
reached our shores In the year after the
panic the record dropped TO 123.000; in
1851 and 1862 less than O., 900 came each
year. Not until 1866 was the record of
1857 paralleled again. So in the period of
reaction after 1873. In the panic year
itself 473,000 immigrants came in. The
decrease in the succeeding years was con-
tinuous up to 1878, when the arrivals were
only i57, ZOO Nor was il until 1880 that
the total of 1873 was reached once more.

SOME NOTABLE SUGGESTIONS.

A correspondent of the Tacoma Ledger,
Rainier while in Tacoma and another
while in Seattle, suggests that the contro-
versy be brought 10 close by everybody
uniting in calling the grand peak Mount
Lincoln"
An anonymous writer in the Conten-
poTaru Reriew, supposed to be connected
with the British foreign Office, proposes
that all the great European powers shall
agree TO regard the appropriation for mill
tary and naval purposes in the budgets of
1894 as a maximum of outlay, beyond
which none of them will 60 before the
opening of 1900.
Representative Amos J. Cummings, of
New York, proposes TO introduce into
United States practice something anala-
gous to the "red ribbon Of. the Legion of
Honor" prevailing in France. He has in
troduced IN the house joint resolution
which permits persons entitled to a medal
of honor to wear in lieu thereof bow knot
OF ribbon of pattern and under regula-
tiors prescribed by the president of the
United States. A fine of 500 Is provided
for the unlawful wearing of such ribbon.
Experiments to determine the influence
OF electricity upon the growth of plants
have shown remarkable results. An APP
paratus consisting of poles connected by
wires for condensing atmospheric cleo
tricity over an inclosed area was ar
ranged. The ordinary grain crops grown
within the Enclosure showed an increase of
from % to 80 per cent. All other crops
were increased in proportion. The scientist
who conducted the experiments also tried
the effect of electritying seeds before
-. g.. a ~
subjected 10 the current for only two min
utes the rapidity of their growth was
nearly doubled.
Hon. John s. Long, OF Louisville. KY,
has forwarded to Secretary Carlisle a plan
for the reorganization OF the currency sys-
TEN which is Endorsed by many leading
lawyers and business men in his city. Mr.
Long suggests that the government shall
issue TO the states pro rata to population
per cent untaxed government bonds, run
ming fifteen years. say $50 per capita,
which shall be the basis of all banking in
the United States. The states receiving
the bonds shall deposit in the Federal
treasury an equal amount of forty years
pa per cent. state bonds, and the X cent
extra interest shall go TO the government
TO deiray the expenses of operating the
plan.
In an article in the July Forum Repre-.
sentative Harter, of Ohio, urges as solu-
ton of the currency problem that the
minis of tho United States be thrown open
10 the coinage of both silver and gold.
limiting the work of coinage by the gov
eminent of gold and silver bullion mined
by individuals, firms and corporations To
measuring and stamping the weight and
tneness OF the coins. Mr.. Harter would
provide that mo gold or silver coined for
the account of the owners shall be legal
tender, and instead of being stamped one
dollar, i've dollars ten dollars and SO
forth. il shall be stamped 'one globe. I'VE
globes, ten globes. and so forth, and on
the reverse side every coin shall bear the
words, Not a legal tender"
