NEED OF THE SOUTH,

Every year or two since the war CONNER
cial conventions, or conventions Of southern
Governors, have assembled somewhere to pro-
mote southern immigration. Their labors
have mostly been futile, simply because they
have wasted their Establishments on the
wrong kind Of people. They have invited
only immigration with capital, and that sort
of immigration has not responded.
What the South wants is labor-labor to
develop its resources and build up and culti-
vate its waste places. Let the immigration
and industrial congress, which is to meet at
Augusta, Georgia. next Wednesday, bend its
energies to provide healthy currency with
which to pay the wages of labor, and they
will not have to go to any pains to invite i'm
migration. Labor will rush wherever there
is remunerative employment, and immigra-
ton with capital will follow successful labor,
just as jackals follow the nobler animals who
pull down the prey.
The most desirable class OF immigration to
any state is workingmen without capital II
they are thriftless and improvident they drift
away when their work is done, but the work
remains and is source Of enduring pros
perity to others.
Labor creates wealth, whether it enjoys 1t
or not. But there is survival OF the flttest.
The sober and industrious build themselves
homes, become good citizens, and from their
loins spring Jacksons and Clays, Lincolns
and Garfelds.

HURRYING THE TARIFF.

Democrats Want a Day Fixed for Final
Vote, but Afraid to Push 1t.
The Democratic managers of the tariff bill
were comforting among themselves yesterday
with the view Of finding means of fastening
the final disposition of the bill, and at one
time during the day decided to ask the Re-
publicans to-day to agree to date when the
vote should be taken, but. after conference
with the leaders on the Republican side OF
the chamber, decided to postpone the request
for the present. They had expected to ask
that the date for the vote be fixed on the sth
or sth OF June, and thought they would be
able to secure an agreement for about the 18th
o. June.
The conference with the Republicans con-
vinced them that il the request should be
made now 1t would be antagonized, and p-ob-
ably would result in loss Of time and in no
appreciable accomplishment. whereas, If il
should be made later. it might be acceded to-

THE HEREsY TRIAL.

Rev. Henry Preserved Smith is in an eccle
siastical pickle.
He has tackled the question Of the liner
rancy OF King James translation Of the Scrip
tures
He has declared that the word OF God is In
the Bible, but not all in the Bible, and not In
all the Bible.
He scouts at the relevancy of the chapter
headings, and treats with levity the italic
words supplied here and there by the transla.
tors to make proper connection.
He lacks faith in the saving grace OF the
typographical errors that mar occasional
pages.
He denies absolutely the infallibility OF the
proof-reader. and he has had the temerity to
say that his own Interpretation OF certain pas
sages were as good, yea, even better. than
that insisted upon by his own dearly-beloved
Presbyterian synod.
For this contumely he will no doubt be ade-
quately punished by the presbytery, which is
endeavoring to take him across its paternal
knee
But there is one offenss for which the out
side world will cry vengeance He has
foisted upon the pages Of history name that
IS like the sandwich OF our mothers. Think
OF it! A noble and illustr1ous name like
Smith being smeared all over with preserves!
Even an initial would have sounded better.

FLOODS AND FORESTS.

The damaging floods Of this season, and,
indeed, of late years. are attributed by many
of our contemporaries to the wanton and
wasteful destruction Of forests at the sources
and along the courses OF our rivers and
smaller streams. This is not new idea. The
protection Of forests by legislation has been
often urged by the press as a preventive of
these disasters, but our people seem to be
imbued with the Arkansaw flddler's maxim,
that the roof cannot be repaired while it is
raining, and when it is dry it don't leak.
Talking of forest destruction, it is not gen.
orally known that almost the only valuable
hardwoods remaining on this continent are
in the district of Virginia represented In
Congress by Hon. James W. Marshall, and
these are rapidly disappearing. Impressed
with the Importance of the subject, writer
in one of the rural papers suggests that in the
coming campaign the Democrats should In
scribe on their banners Estate Banks and
Forest Preservation" "Cyclone Jim" should
make q note Of this.

AN uNCANNY PICTURE.

In the coal-miniDg districts we have the
spectacle of thousands of miners on a strike
bent on destroying property and preventing.
by violence and terrorism, the filling Of their
places from the ranks Of the hungry unem-
ployed. We see deputies, maintained at the
expense Of the taxpayers, armed with Win
ehesters, killing these strikers without dis
elimination or mercy, and dragging to jail
alike the innocent and the guilty. We see an
cry bodies of men assembling everywhere.
And all because a handful Of "trustites'
have met in secret and agreed that the min
ing price of coal must go down and the sell
ing price of coal must go up, In order that
they NAV enrich themselves on the differ
ence.
And II We turn to Congress we behold the
spectacle of that body flddling away months
of time over bill which seems destined to
afford protection to those industries which
have powerful pull and deal out free trade
to those which are weak. And yet with these
sights before our eyes we see the newspaper
organs of the "trustites' devoting columns
to the evils OF paternalism which will follow
government control of our mines.
Thinking men are asking themselves. What
can be worse for the country than the evils We
have,

His Expenses While on the Violet Came
Out Of His Own Purse.
1t was learned yesterday from gentleman
in position to know the facts that the pub
lie criticisms Of the Presidents action in TAX
ing his outing on the lighthouse tender
Violet are based on misapprehension OF
the facts. 1t is stated on high authority that
the Presidents presence on the Violet did
not cost the government one penny. On the
contrary, the President, as he has always
done, paid full rates for himself and party.
The Violet on this trip distributed among
the lighthouses 1,800 cases OF oil and other
supplies. which was larger load than she
ever carried before.
The trip, which occupied two days less
than usual. was made in the regular course
of the violet's duties. and the lighthouses
were visited and inspected as the regulations
require At the Presidents special request
no more birds were shot than could be used
by the visitors and the crew or brought back
to Washington. The President and the other
members OF the party were in urgent need of
q vacation.

Painters Pickle.

IfrOnl the view 1orK World.J
Painters pickle is used for removing old
paint. 1t is useless to waste time and monev
applying good enamel paint over old paint,
for it quickly cracks and grows shabby. Mix
one pound and half Of stone potash, one
pound and a half or two pounds Of soft SOAP.
and half pound of washing soda together
and stir into about a gallon OF water. The
pickle should then be boiled until the potash
is melted. Apply this with brush, then let
It stand for several hours. The work must

water, using no soap. This pickle may be
applied equally well hot or cold. Great care
must be taken in using the pickle, as it dis

The Nicaragua canal was the subject Of dis
cussion by the House Committee on Com
merce yesterday. Representative Bryan, OF
Nebraska, explained the provisions Of the
bill recently introduced by him. 1t does not
differ materially from Senator Morgnn's pro-
1ect, except tina: the stock of the company,
which is not to exceed s70, 100000, shall be
paid for in greenbacks similar in legal tender
qualities and provisions for redemption to
those issued under the act Of 1852.

AS THB CROWDS COMB OUT.

The fsvorite ruse Of Shakespeare of having
women disguise themselves a. mon gives
Misc Marlowe the most delightful Of her
scenes. In Gas You Like It" the charm Of
her lovemaking ss the shepherd has made her
famous. In Twelfth Night" too, she does
this 50 witching that We smile with her at
her faint heart and smile more, for II ID part
OF the delight at the palpableness, the bur-
lesque Of her Characterization. Dressed a.
the page, I think she makes the prettiest pic
ture. The fine, soft, pure beauty Of her face
and the piquancy Of her womanly smile are
accentuated by the male attire, which Is even
more fetching than that Of Rosalind.
Twelfth Night" has half dozen charac-
ters that are . joy to actors. Every one Of
them was well done last night, and the tri-
umph that the supporting company made
Tuesday was repeated.
This afternoon double bill Of "The Bellies
Stratagem" and "Chatterton" will be given.
Tonight "Ingomar" will be given.
Luvoric Halevy's somber work. "The
Jewess." was put on at the Academy last
night by the Hinrich company. It was a
strong contrast to the firtsome deviltry Of
Carmen the night before. Koert-Cronold
can be Carmen on Thursday and Rachel on
Friday and not show effort In the transposi-
tion from Latin to Hebrew.
Guile was again magnificent, and in a role
where his physical proportions were an aid to
his makeup. 1t was his best work so far In
the season. Michelena as Prince Leopold
was not in good voice. The tax Of leading
part the night before told harder ON him than
on Kronold. Marie Van Cauteren was sweet
as ever In the part of Eudosia. Her present
place In the Hinrich company as secondary
support might give way to leading roles II

and heart singing. Miss Van Cautsren re-
