The greed for gain on the part of
the great mining syndicates of the
east and central states is largely
responsible for the vast influx of
Huns, Italians, Poles, Slavs and
other foreign laborers who are
such a menace to the Industrial
peace and good order of this COun-
try. These syndicates in defiance
of law have imported these labor
Ors and now they are reaping their
reward. All of them are in the
same boat. Politics is not in it a
little bit. Every one of these large
employers of labor have violated
the law, and not one of them has
been punished for it. For their
crime the nation is suffering to-
day in all it's branches. Carefully
drawn and rigidly restrictive i'm
migration laws are demanded.

Yellow fever has stuck its hot
and pestiferous foot in Portugal
and in Brazil, warning the coast
sections of this country to prepare
for the scOurge, and so guard all
exposed points that it may gain
no foothold in this country. With
proper precautions all epidemics
may thus be excluded.
Hill evidently thinks that CIeve-
land in 1886 is good authority for
Hill in 1894. And yet it is for his
agreement with the great Demo-
cratic idol in his utterances of 1886
that Hill is denounced by the
Democrats in 1894. There is some
thing rotten in Gotham, or things
would not be so mixed.

One element OF difficulty In bringing
Spanish American offenders against
the laws to justice in our territories
derived from Mexico is the ties of race
and kinship. An atrOeious criminal OF
Mexican blood may be protected
through years Of a lawless career by
relatives and family friends who them
selves are eminently respectable and,
except where the safety of friends or
kindred are concerned, law-abiding.
This protection is continued after the
criminal has been brought into the
courts, in the way of the bribing and
the packing of juries and in the
providing - avenues of escape from
prison. Thus for years the muir
derer and outlaw Porfrio Trujillo
has gone at large, or, when appre-
hended, has found il easy to escape the
penalty of his crimes. His present
headquarters are in the Manzano
mountains, east of Albuquerque, in
eastern Bernalilo and Valencia coun-
ties, where, with a price on his head,
he perpetrates his depredations and
Outrages with high and defiant hand.
One form of plundering with Trujillo
and his gang is to go into a flock of
sheep and drive off hundreds at
time, or to run off cattle from the
plains ranges, kill them, and sell the
meat to inhabitants of the mountain
towns. They do not hesitate at muir
der, either for booty or revenge.-N. Y

Enthusiastically a sound this time.
The sound was repeated. 1t could
not be George, for the noise was
in the house, and he would have to
knock or ring and be let in by me. Be-
sides it was too early for him.
Could it be that Georges knock had
only just aroused me, and that having
rung and knocked and despaired of
waking me, he had got in through a
window? Or could it be the caretaker,

The Old house fronts the shabby streets
And the dull windows eastward gaze,
As their cobwebbed brows they raise,

AS cling her prayers 10 you and me,

Down the long halls when we were young,
We'd never scurried of 70 bed
You and I-thro' the gloom o'erhead,
With all the other children.
On our wide orbs the eyes Of night
Gazed softly with mesmeric light:
When mother bent above our bed
The silver moonlight touched her head,
And In my dreams her face Id see
Madonna-like shine over me-
Shine over all her children
