The Grantee Declines to Accept the
City Councils Terms.
New Orleans, La, May &c. B.
Fischer, grantee of the Belt railroad
franchise, has addressed a letter to Mayor
Fitzpatrick in which Mr.. Fischer, for
himself and his assistants, declines the
grant, on the ground that his attorneys
have suggested legal flaws in it that,
together with the violent opposition
to il from citizens, viii render it impos-
sible to induce adequate capital to build
and operate it. The council will now, no
doubt, promptly repeal the ordinance,
and thus will peacefully and satisfactor-
lily end an episode in the municipal his
tory Of New Orleans.

never told Mr.. Walker that any person
high in democratic authority had in
formed him Cochran that the sugar

added in conclusion that he was not the
attorney for the sugar trust and never
had been.

now be erected at cost but very little
beyond that involved in putting up the
same sized wooden structure. The loss
in first cost Is more than compensated
for by saving in insurance and the adj
vantages OF more substantial and per-
manent building, while the expense OF
maintenance and repairs is decidedly in
favor OF iron.

This may have been true some years

these days OF structural development.

OF dwelling houses where wood did not

The Republican state convention will
be held in Grand Rapids July 81. That
convention will nominate a full state
ticket and the people will elect it in No
yember without doubt. We say with
out a doubt because we have that faith
in the good judgment and wise purpose
OF the Republican party that leads us to
bespeak for the party complete harmony
and united action in the coming cam
paign.
All differences and all contests must be
settled in the state convention. Wise
counsel must prevail in the matter OF
nominations; the ticket must be strong
and clean in its every part. The truth
ful saying that n chain is no stronger
than it's weakest link, sometimes applies
with equal force TO party tickets.
The Republicans OF Michigan almost
invariably have the good sense to refrain
from kicking over n blessed opportunity,
and they are expected TO make IL clearly
manifest this year in their state conyen-
ton. There is absolutely no good rea-
son why it should not be reasonably
harmonious convention. Active strife
between rival candidates Tor nomination
il not at all dangerous TO party har-
mony, provided the active partisans oi
each candidate all stand up for fair play
and pledge themselves TO stand by the
result. This is the Republican way OF
doing things, and il is the right way.
There il IL great deal ut stake this
year in Michigan, as well M in other
states. We have not only state ticket
to elect, but also u full delegation TO
congress and state legislature which IL
to elect two United States senators.
This is the year for the Republicans TO
make the next house OF representatives
Republican, and 10 save what they have
aud gam what they can in the United
states senate Michigan Republicans
must do their share Of this work, and the
first thing TO do is TO present TO the
people OF the state an invinciblc state
ticket. one that il without weakness in
any part and commcnds itself from head
to foot to enthusiastic Republican
support. I'm order that the Republican
congressional and legislative tickets may
receive the benefit OF the whole party
strength, every Republican ticket in the
field must be clean and strong, party
harmony complete and party action
healthy and vigorous.
The ordinary ofi-year Republican plur-
atty will not answer the demand this
year. Michigan must follow the lead ol
other Republican states that have been
breaking majority records. She can do

TIE DIZZY OF coNGRESs.

While il is true that immigration has
fallen off during the past year, as com
pared with previous years, it is also true
that there is still large monthly influx
OF foreigners into this country and OF the
most undesirable kind.
IL is perfectly well understood abroad
as well as at home that the situation in
this country at the present time is not
at all inviting TO foreign labor. This
fact is well known both Go aliens who
live by honest labor and aliens who are
n curse TO honest labor and TO the
country in which they abide. Under
standing 80 well the situation in this
country, honest and deserving foreigners
see nothing in il 60 attract them here
and the decline in immigration is owing
TO their knowledge Of the situation. But
60 the vicious and dangerous classes OF
foreign nations the present crisis here
offers unusual attractions. The more
turbulent the times the better for their
business, hence OF the large number OF
immigrants constantly arriving mt our
ports, il is sale TO say that most OF them
are not desirable and that very many OF
them are ngitators and anarchists who
never should be permitted TO land on
our shores.
There never was more imperative
duty imposed upon the congress OF the
United States than the present situation
places squaroly before that body in this
matter Of restricted immigration. Every
interest OF society, OF honest homo lobor,
Of national, state aud municipal govern

take in foreigners who would undermine
il crime against the honest working
men OF this country to make them asso-

ron FREE IRON ORE.

The big Democratic burlesque, WANT
cd, n Tariff Bill" * still on Mt the
national capitol. The most important
phase of the situation is the inability OF.
the Democratic majority OF the confer
ence committee TO agree on tho bill.
While there arc several schedules on
which a wide difference OF opinion exists
between several OF the conferces, those
constituting an irrepanlble breach are
iron ore, wool and sugar. The key to
the situation Is not difficult to obtain.
The fat fancier in the White House has
sounded his whistle and the cuckoos,
whom lac was careful should compose the
majority OF the conference committee,
are nocling TO his standard. Cleveland
is radically in favor of free iron ore. His
position ON this question cannot be mis-
taken, inasmuch as lac has stated through
the medium OF the press within recent
days that tariff bill placing iron orc on
the protected list would not receive his
signature. He il also displeased with the
disposition made by the new bill OF wool
and sugar. 1t is, therefore, not re-
markabc coincidence that in these
schedules the cuckoo conierees find diff
Guilty in agreement. In the present
situation the hope OF the miner and
every resident OF the iron ore producing
country centres in permanent disagree
ment. Our mines are resuming slowly,

ported by the senate finance committee
and finally agreed upon by the body Of

IL the late demonstrations, the great
est and most deplorable conflict between
capital and labor that history has ever
recorded, more especially American his
tory, for in no other country under the
sun would the freedom OF its people per-
init the concentration OF such influences,
the cause can be traced TO this common
source. IL is the result OF the scheming
OF Eugene " Debs for several years. by
his own acts and with the assistance oil
equally disreputable allies he has allured
three-fourths OF the railway employees
into his net and now, either his victims
or their families, and inImany instances
both, are paying the penalty OF their
folly.
But IL is unnecessary TO take one so
far from home to behold the result oil the
work Of demagogues. At lronwood, on
the Gogebic range, are the effects painfully
evident. Here nearly two thousand
miners or mine laborers subsisted on
charity throughout the winter oil 1913.
