The Republicans Of the senate and
house are united against either the
original Wilson bill OF the amended
senate bill, and will give no help
in passing any compromise. Both
elements Of the Democrats claim
to have made too many conc essions
now, and the recent very deter
mined utterances have tended to
increase the contention. Delay IN
the final result of the row is the
greatest injury. n

Consid ering the record the Dem

Considering the record the Dem
ocratic party is making it is no
wonder that the ST.. Cloud Times
is making A. P. Aism the political
issue. The Times recognizes that
OH it's record during the past few
months Democracy has forfeited
the confidence Of the people, and
that many members of the party
will leave it. Their partisanship
cannot be appealed to, as they are
convinced that the Democratic
party has failed in its promises to
better the condition of the gov
erned. On old issues they cannot
be held in the Democ tatic party
But # they can be convinced that
other parties are controlled by an
element that is antagonistic to the
religion of many members of their
party, they would naturally resent
any such issue, and be more apt to
continue in the Democratic party,
It is ther efore the constant en-.
deayor of the editor Of the Times
to excite the prejudice ofpeople
against Republican candidates. by
claiming they are A. P Aists OF
pledged to their ideas. lie success
full in creating that belief, Democ.
racy could probably hold many
members who are inclined to quit
the party in disgust at it's record.
The republican party is too great
an organization to. be controlled
By any narrow ideas and has al
ways favored the widest exercise
the hts Of the individual, and
is opposed to any i essttric ton Of re-
iglou US belief. Democ cratic papers
that use such arguments as are
popular with the Times assume
greatly on the ignorance and pre-
judice Of some members Of their
party. s54s B

Evils Of Unrestricted immigration

Unrestricted immigration for II CEN
fury was the main source of the nations
growth and strength. For many years
the immigrants were mainly OF the
most valuable class, thrifty, %indepen-
dent, enterprising, self-supp0rting, at
tracted to this country by it's most val
liable and progressive characteristics,
and thus by q principle of natural So
lection, so to speak, the New World
drew from the Old the very elements
best calculated to aid it's development
and to strengthen it's institutions. Even
the immigrants who brought with them
least intelligence and least faculty of
approaching American institutions were
so far ready for absorption and assimi-
latiOn that their children became valu-
able citizens. But there has come a
great change. Instead Of the best ele-
ments from other countries, this land
has ia recent years been getting much
of the worst. The deliberate and sys-
tematic deportation of criminals and
paupers to this country by European
authorities is but the least part of the
difficulty. The worst is the tendency
to seek the most degraded labor. be-
cause. for a time at least, it is the cheap
est.-Tribnne.

The Chinese Wall.

The great wall Of China was recently
measured by Nj. Unthank, an American
engineer engaged on the survey for q
Chinese railway. His measurement
q Y the height eighteen feet. Every
few hundred yards there is q tower
twenty-five feet high. The foundation
Of the wall is of solid granite. For H.
800 miles the wall goes over plains and
mountains, every foot of the fOunda-
tion being of solid granite, and the rest
Of the structure solid masonry. In some
places the wall is built smooth up
against the bank. Or crosses q preci.
pice where there is q sheer descent Of
1000 feet.

Public Schools of Paris.

Much of the work of the Paris schools
is done on the walls Of the class room,
winch are entirely taken up with the
blackboard sHrface for all manner of
lessons, writing, arithmetic, grammar,
drawings and with great maps from
which the study Of geography and his
tory, of physiology and the natural his
tory OF flowers and beasts, is carried on.
Ihisd away with the need Of many
books. The children do not know the
general geography of the world as we'll
as American scholars, but they seem to
be better up in all that concerns their
own country. And they certainly know
how to count and reckon money, o
cially the girls for the riches Of France
consist in the fact that women are reg
nlarly the cashiers and bookeepers for
their husbands. The city furnishes to
all these day scholars a solid meal at
the hour of noon. There are two reas-
ons for this. With the French habit of
l never trusting their children far out of
sight. good number Of the scholars
Wonld not be able to run home for lunch,
and the city is too tender hearted to
o6ligc them to the cold comfort Of a
dinner pail. Then, in the second place,
o good many OF the children from the
poorer quarters would stand a small
SluS lulUS uOuTl6ulDR
to eat it the matter was left to their pa
rents. So the motherly city has taken
the burden on itself, and in such a way
that there shall be no appearance of in
equality between the children who can
pay for what they receive and those
who receive everything for nothing.
The meal, which is q profitable indus
try for the janitor's wife or for some
regular caterer, is usually served up in
the covered playroom. Each student
has q bowl of soup, and a plate of steam
ing vegetables. All are supposed to
bring from home in their little baskets
the bread which they need, and, if they
wish to drink anything but water, a bot
tie of milk or wine Chin wine is the
usual drink of the Paris poor at honey.
Fond mothers may even add a bit Of
cheese or pastry or fruit by way of des-
sert /; but when the parents are too poor,
the child receives even his piece of bread
from the school canteen, and none of
the other scholars is the wiser. To get
their portion each presents a copper
check. The parents of those who pay
have given from three to four cents for
this-not a dear lunch, considering what
ia furnished-but those whose parents
have paid nothing have the same cop
per check in their hand to give in for
their portion in sight of others.-Corres-
pOndence of Boston Transcript.

Remarkable Animals.

Very nearly related to the field mice
are the jennings. which are, in their
way. among the most remarkable OF
animals. They are about five inches
long, with very short tails. Dwelling
in the highlands Of the great central
mountain chain of Norway and Sweden,
they build their nests with straw lined
withshair under stones and tussocks of
grass. They are very p%ugnacious.
When disturbed, instead of trying to
escape, they sit upright, kissing and
showing fight. Certain cultivated dis
tricts Of Sweden and Norway, where
these creatures are ordinarily unknown,
are occasionally. at intervals Of from
i've to twenty five years, overrun by
armies of them, which steadily and
slowly advance, always in the same di-
rectiOn. regardless of all obstacles,
swimming across streams, and even
lakes several miles in. breadth, and
committing great devastation. In turn
they are pursued and harassed by
crowds of beasts and birds of prey, such
as bears, wolves, foxes. wildcats, wea-
sells, eagles, hawks and owls. Even
domestic animals, cattle, goats and
reindeer, join in the hunt. None Of
these migrant jennings ever return by
the course from which they come. The
on ward march OF the survivors "
ceases until they reach the sea, into
which they plunge. and swimming on
ward in the same direction as before,
perish in the waves. As a matter of
fact, the Jennings which perish in the
sea are acting under the same blind i'm
pulse that led them previously to cross
smaller pieces of water in safety. No
survivors of the migrating hordes ever
live to transmit their final and fatal ex-
perience to subsequent generations,
and so this gigantic mistake is periodi-
caily repeated. Abnormal increase of
number and consequent necessity for
food bring about the migration from
the highlands to the lOwlands, winding
up in the ocean. The animals only
travel at night and pause when they
find subsistence plentiful. Exhaustion
Of food supply compels them to pro-
coed. Naturally, they would not turn
back on their tracks, the region behind
being eaten bare. It is a curious fact
that during these journeys they multiply
enormously and eve more rapidly than
at home. Such a migration lasts from
one to three years.-Pitfsburgh Dis
patch.
The Opelousas courier., 1894-05-12

One of the sensations of the great re-
union of the Confederate Veterans
Association, at Birmingham, Ala, was
the adoption of a report recommending
that the work Of seeing that each South
ern State contributed a yearly pension
of $500 for the support of Mrs. Jefferson
Davis be dropped. 1t was stated that,
as Mrs. Davis has selected New York
State for her residence, she has thereby
lost her identity with the Southern
States. The association will send three
members to take greetings to the G.. A.
R., and TO urge it to accept Atlanta's
invitation to hold the grand encamp-
ment there in 1896.
