THE Immigration Bureau is seriously
considering the question as to whether
it has the right to summarily deport
from the country a notorious Anarchist
named Mowbray. We take the oppor-
tunity to remark that the way to deal
with anarchy is not by excluding Anar-
chists or banishing those who are here.
The real way is to revive and inculcate
the old American spirit of loyalty to our
laws and institutions, and bitter hos
tility to all lawlessness and violence.
In a purely healthy body microbes are
harmless. Let us make the American
body polite so pure and healthy that
there viii be no danger from such mi
.crobes as Mowbray. If all the commu-
nifty felt as the Grand Army of the
Republic and Sons of Veterans do, there
would not be the least fear of such dis
ease breeding animalcule. Let US have
loyalty and law abiding made the prime
article of every American citizens relig-
ion, every disturber put under the terri
bic ban of public opinion, and no sickly
sentimentality with any one who breaches
or practices wrong-doing as cure for
real or imaginary evils. This is the way
to kill off anarchy.

"NoT BECAUSE THEY WERE UNION
SOLDIERS


A most significant announcement was
made by several high officials in Wash
ington last week. They protested that
though several thousand Union soldiers
have been discharged from Government
employ, ono one has been discharged
because he 'Uas Union soldier"
Think of what must be the condition
which draws forth such a remarkable
announcement. The uniformity with
which Union veterans were selected for
dismissal; the fact that as a rule these
were the best and most competent clerks
and other officials; that they had been
many years in the service, and worked
their way up to positions of great trust
all this had attracted widespread at
tention. Hence the necessity for such q
disclaimer.
Is not the mere fact that it was found
necessary to make such disclaimer very
significant? Emphatically, there should
have been no need for it.
The people of the United States faith
fully promised that the men who served
the country in the field or ahoat should
have preference over all others for such
employment as they were fitted for.
The laws of the country prescribe such
preference. Why is it denied them?
What must be the attitude of those
who have to make public disclaimer
that they are not so inimical to Union
veterans as to take away their means
of support at every opportunity?
The disclaimer is itself grave accusa-
ton.

THERE never was as much downright
dishonesty and lying about any measure
before Congress as the Wilson bill. A
very large portion of the members of the
House who make loud pretenses Of being
in favor of it are really hoping for its
defeat, and are doing all that they can
secretly to secure it. They were instru-
mental in having the Senate bill framed
as it is, in order to protect industries in
which powerful constituents were inter-
ested. They have played double-faced
game very cunningly. They advocated
the Wilson bill to please one class of
their constituents-th theoretic free
traders and the workingmen of the
cities-and then had their Senators
modify it so as to save the great manu-
featuring corporations and placate the
wealthy bosses who held their political
lives in their grasping hands. The So
called struggle between President, Sen
ate, and House is merely a great big
bluff on all sides, which is thoroughly
understood by every intelligent man in
Washington.

The New York Constitutional Con-
vention has decided in favor of unani-
nous juries, though strenuous effort
was made to get in a provision for a
verdict by threefourths of the panel.
1t was shown that the evil of disagree
ing juries has been greatly exaggerated.
In 1,104 trials in the Superior Court
there were only % disagreements, while
in five years and 3,460 jury trials in
New York City there were only % dis
agreements. 1t therefore seemed much
safer to stick to the rule which has pre-
vailed more than 500 years.

ST. PAUL FOR 1895.

The tide of public opinion in the
Grand Army of the Republic seems to
be setting strongly in favor of st. Paul
as the place for holding the National
Encampment in 1895.
Taking all things into consideration
it is undoubtedly the best selection that
could be made. St. Paul is q genuine
American city, built up by live, ener-
getic men, breathing the invigorating air
of the best American spirit, intensely
loyal, strongly aspirant for the highest
good, and manfuIIy energetic in
the direction of that good. The
advantages of the location drew to
st. Paul when the Territory of
Minnesota was formed host of
broad-minded, restlessly-progressiye bus
mess men of the North and East. They
speedily transformed the little Indian
trading station into one of the most beau
tiful cities in the country. 1t has now
a population of 100000, and that of its
neighboring city of Minneapolis raises
the total number of residents in that
locality to about 100000.
1t is the Capital of Minnesota, and
both its public and private buildings are
noted for beauty and costumes.
No finer street can be found anywhere
than Summit avenue Every part of
the city can be reached by electric rail
roads. Ten great railroads reach the
city from all parts of the country.
1t is nearer the homes of a greater
number of veterans than any city that
has been mentioned. Minnesota, Iowa,
the Dakotas, Kansas and Nebraska we're
fliled up by Union soldiers after the
close of the war, and all these are within
easy reach of St Paul, as also are the
comrades of the great soldier States of
Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana
and Ohio.
The St. Paul people were loyal to the
core during the war; Minnesota sent
14.5 per cent. of her population to the
war-a fighting man for every seven
people. This was an enormous pro-
portion.
The comrades will receive a welcome
of boundless warmth in the beautiful
Capital of the North Star State.

CONFUSION TO TIS-pLATE LIARS

CONFUSION TO TEMPLATE LIARS
The readers of The NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE have good memories, but these are
hardly necessary to recall the freshet of
falsehoods which deluged the country
four years ago in regard to tin-plate
making in the United States. Led by
such papers as the New York Times, a
large portion of the press poured i'll
tempered abuse and ridcule On all who
asserted that it was possible to manu-
facture our own tin-plate. Manufac-
turers who attempted it were held up
for public derision, they were proclaimed
wilful deceivers of the public, and their
factories were made targets for persistent
sneering. Even the Secretary of the
Treasury went out of his way to aid this
opposition to American enterprise, and
the reports from the Special Agents Di-
vision of the Treasury Department were
made distinctly unfriendly. "The
Workman's Tin Dinner Pal" was
made a campaign issue in many places,
and men were sent through the country
to work up sentiment among the
farmers wives against the protection
given the tin-plate industry. But all
this ayailed nothing against the develop
ment Of the business. The tin-plate
makers were in earnest, and as they
brought American vim and American
skill to the task, they have accomplished
wonders, and the trades and scientific
journals are full of praise of the results
they have achieved in four years.
Naturally, they at first closely copied
Welsh methods and machinery for MAX
ing plates, and imported large numbers
of Welsh operatives. Soon they found
they could improve much on both. The
Metal Horld gives a very interesting
account of some of these Improvements,
and says:
A very considerable change in the con-
struction of the hot rolls greatly increases
the product, reduces the danger of injury to
the machinery, and makes some improve
ment in the quality of the plates. Equally
important improvements have been made in
the cold rolls, and in the complete separa-
ton of the hot and cold rolls one of the most
prolific causes of defective plates has been
avoided, and great gains in economy and
efficiency have resulted from Improvements
in the doubling shears, the squaring shears,
and the doubling tables. A green hand gets
better results from the American squaring
shears than an experienced hand from the
Welsh, and this involves a considerable
saving. The appliances for picking and
timing have been entirely made over, and
the Metal World repeats the claim that
within very short time there will not be a
Welsh machine or a Welsh idea used in the
manufacture of tin plate in this country,
and that tin plate will be manufactured as
cheaply, and even more cheaply, in this
country than in Wales.
Despite the hostile attitude of the
present Congress toward the industry, its
success has been so great that capital is
readily secured for investment in it. The
mills already established are generally

A Deaf Mute Hanged.

FREDERICTON, n. B., April 90.
Judge Barker, on January %,
sentenced the deaf mute, Edward
NJ. Wheary, to be hanged today for
the murder of his sister-in-law,
Bertha Wheary. Lhe crime was
committed a few miles from here,
on September y, last. Mrs.
Wheary's people had gone to a
prayer meeting and left the deaf
mute and his sister-in-law in the
house. When Bertha's husband re-
turned, a couple Of hours later, he
found her lying in pool of blood
on the floor, with her skull crushed,
and her limbs and body horribly
gashed. Near the body a blood
stained AK was found on the floor,
Suspicion pointed at once to the
deaf mute, but when arrested he
denied any knowledge Of the crime
and has done so all through the
trial. 81 am innocent of the crime,
and don't know who committed
it," he spelled on his fingers on
sentence day. The Judge then
passed the sentence of death,
which the interpreter repeated to
the prisoner. Mrs. Weary was
about to give birth to child at
the time of her death. In his adj
dress to the jury Judge Barker
said that really two lives had been
taken by the murderer. Wheary
does not appear to realize his po-
sition.
