PROJECTION AND 1MMIoRATIoN.

There is growing demand among the peo-
pie for either a more stringent enforcement OF
our immigration laws. or the enactment Of
better measures to prevent ignorant pauper
labor taking the place of wage-earners now in
employment.
II must be remembered, too, that the OBJ
iectionable foreign labor in this country was
brought here by protected manufacturers
and mine owners, and that while crying for
protection to American workingmen they i'm
ported pauper labor and displaced the wage
earners whom it was supposed the protective
tariff policy would protect.
The truth is, American wage earners de-
rive little benefit from a protective tariff un-
less employers are willing so divide high pro-
tective profits with them, and as general
rule that policy does more harm than good.
The lowest cost of living combined with
markets opened to competition is infinitely
more advantageous to wage-earners than re-
stricted markets and a high cost OF living.
The one promotes activity. stimulates trades
and opens up opportunities, while the other
extends the power of trusts, and places trade
and commerce in their hands. The present
resultant condition of affairs veriies this state

AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT.

THE TIMES ran up against a curious and
significant fact few days ago. A reporter
engaged in obtaining interviews from citi-
zens of the southeast on the dangerous and
disnguring Pennsylvania tracks met several
tradespeople who refused absolutely to say u
word that would be put into print. 1t deve-
oped tina. they feared the power of the rail-
road company to injure them. 1t further ap-
peared that the railroad had shotcn that
potcer in the past, and one man vert so far
as to say that the company had hurt his busi-
ness in such a roundabout way that for a
long while he could not find out what was
against him.
1t may or may not be true that the Penn
sylvania has exerted its power to the end in
dicated, but it certainly is true that this fear
OF corporate power could not exist without
adequate cause to give it birth. 1t is at any
rate, circumstantial evidence pointing to the
difficulties in the way OF those who have
grievances against aggregate capital in any
form.
Think OF it. Here is a railroad with the
adequate Congressional pull to give it right
OF way across reservation sacred TO the peo-
pie of the United States. and with adequate
reserved pull to make some OF our citizens
afraid 10 speak out against changing engines
and dusty cars rushing along close to their
back yards and front yards and through the
street where their children are playing.
Verify, the way of the plain. ordinary citi-
zen is very hard when he happens to have
rights that collide with a railway company's
assumed prerogatives.

A CRUSADE WITH A FUTURE.

Interviews are this morning again printed
on the question of suffrage for the District
The TINES crusade is gaining many prose-
lytes, and the movement will not stop until
it is crystallized into law. There is such
email objection to the reform that an early
date seems certainly set for its completion.
The question is frequently asked: Would
the Congress OF the United States vote 10 re-
store the elective franchise in the District?
That question is best answered by another
Could Congressman. himself the beneficiary
of the suffrages of the people, consistently
vote against such measure?
Now let some of our brilliant lawyers get
together an enabling act and have 1t intro
duced when Congress assemblies in December
next. Let US, at least, get on record the
Legislators who are for or against this simple
act of justice

DeSs and Cleveland.
From the Toledo Blade.J
Mr.. Debs said in his proclamation:

Mr.. Debs SAID in his proclamation:
II appeal to you to be men, orderly and
law abiding. - Our men have the
right to quit, but there their right ends.
Keep away from railroad yards or right Of
way, or other places where large crowds con-
gregate. \ safe plan is to remain away en-
tirely from places where there is any likeli-
hood of there being an outbreak"
And the commander-in-chief OF the army
of the United States. Grover Cleveland, said
to the people of Chicago:
Il do hereby admonish all good
citizens against aiding. countenanc-
ing. encouraging or taking any part in such
unlawful distractions, combinations and as
semblages. The only safe course
for those not actually unlawfully participat-
ing is to abide at their homes''
Let US ask the sensible homecoming. tax

ference is? Mr.. Debs has no vested author

ence; otherwise both proclamations might
have been written by the same man.

 These are busy times at the Repub the congressional campaign committees in Washington. Tons of copies of pub lie documents, extracts from speeches and party arguments are being sent all over tho United States, particular attcn- tion being paid, of course, to doubtful congressional districts. Every such dis trict is very carefully studied, and such arguments are brought to bear upon the voters as seem apt to be particularly effective, owing to the pursuits and character of the inhabitants. Campaign speakers arc also sent out in much tho same manner. tariff experts being dis patched to manufacturing and agricul- tural districts and soldier orators to dis tricts where thcro are many voters who arc war veterans.

 the Cash In n state Bank.
 RANDOLPH. N. Y, Sept B. Four pro fcssional bank burglars met with poor luck when they tried to open tho safe of tho Stato bank at this placeI One of their number gained entrance to the bank building through q transom and let his pals in through a back door. The vault doors wcrc drilled and tho lock punched out
 Then work was begun on tho burglar proof money chest that contained some thing likc sI5. OO0 in cash. They soapCd the crack in the door, leaving but two air openings.
 At one of thcso they placed an air pump and sucked the aif out, while at the other they held vInl of nitrOglyccrin, which was drawn by suction into the air cham Der in front of m nirtight apartment They set hard wood posts around tho safe, bracing 1t to the front of the vault. and tho charge was exploded by fuses
 Thee charge was too heavy, and it forced tho entire front of tho vault out forward and let tho posts down so that tho heavy safe fell on its face in n position thorough ly protected from tho art of tho skillfuI crackSmcn. All day long wOrkmcn have been raising tho safc back to an upright position and cutting of the bolts on the front door, which still remained intact.
 Thcrc was n considerable amount oi valuable silverwarc and jcwClry in the vault, and although the burglars looked 1t over thoroughly they did not take any with them. The only traco they left by which they might bc identified was . bunch of rcd hair torn out by the roots.

Ir sIeaif MIufiny.

One morning a British man-of-war was seen entering Hongkong harbor with the ensign inverted. which is the usual sign of '.mutiny on board" I'm mediately this was noticed a couple of man-of-war cutters put out, full of blue jackets, and dashed across the harbor toward where the newcomer had anchor ed. Perhaps it was a little regatta en- thusiasm, or perhaps 1t was purely the spirit of duty which stimulated them, but anyhow a most exciting race ensued in fact, there was a narrow escape of a bad smash as they reached the vessel There the officers and some of tho crew were at the taffrail. shouting themselves hoarse and beckoning to the two boats to come on faster. At last, half dead with their exertions, yet eager for the fray with the mutineers, the tars tumbled on board and were warmly complimented on their rowing pace. It must have blown them badly. Would they have n drink?
 "A what? Where is the mutiny:' gasped tho senior officer in charge of the boarding party. ''Mutinyl There's no mutiny in this ship We are all the best of friends, was the reply. Then why did you want us? You yelled loud enough. We thought it was Hong kong regatta day and were cheering the winners. :" Staggered for a moment, the officer pointed inquiringly to the ensign, still Haunting its appeal for aid that was not required ''Oh. d-n the boy He always puts it up wrong if we don | watch him-simply out of stupidity.
