RESIGNED.
Continued from Page /.

The announcement was followed with
loud cheers which were heard by the
crowds outside, and neing understood,
were taken up and echoed far and wide,
and when Crispi was again able to make
himself heard he added: "The ministers
will remain at their posts until their sue
-cessors are appointed.
More cheers and shouts of disapprovaI
followed this statement, after which the
president of the chamber asked that the
house adjourn until the crown decided
uron the successor of the ministers who
had just announced their designations.
The Leftists raised storm of protest
against the proposition. saying that the
government should be impeached, that
the public were entitled to know who
was responsible for the disaster in Abyss
sinia and tnat there was no excuse for
not making public promptly all the facts
in the possession OF the ministers. But,
when the protest of the Leftists had be- n
exhausted, the House adjourned pending
the appointment of new cabinet.

TIE COMMITTEE COMING.

The fact That the Congressional River
and Harbor Committee has decided to
visit P.t,sburg. Wheeling and possibly
other cities along the upper Ohio can
not but give tho greatest satisfaction 10
all who have taken an interest in the
la,e efforts TO secure the improvement
of this most important artery of COM
merce. The fact that the main stream
has been allowed to fall into a state of
almost absolute uselessness. while small
and comparatively unimpOrtant tribu-
taries have been improved at the cost
of millions. it is not so much the fault
of Congress "a It is of the people resid-
ing and doing business along the Ohio.
Now that they are moving theoretically
in the matter, and have secured the con-
sert of The Committee TO come here ana
look az the actual situation. there is
every probability that at least a begin
ming Will be made by the present Con-
gress. and that in The fullnesS OF time
such government work vii! be complet-
ed as will ensure something approach
ing continuous navigation for all ex-
cept the winter months. The Wheeling
Chamber Of Commerce and the business
and manufacturing interests Of the city
at large, should see to it that no Oppor-
tuni-y is lost OF imprsssing upon the
members Of the Committee the necessity
Of prompt, adequate and energetic ac-
lion. and whatever IS necessary for the
entertainment Of the visitors upon the
occasion Of their visit to Wheeling
ought to be arranged for by competent
gentlemen The opportunity to secure
the most substantial benefits for Wheel
Ing is aDnroa"''ag. Lst Wheeling be

Hampshire. and other Republican
statesmen have introduced resolutions
in Congress favoring the annexation of
Canada to this country. Whatever
may be the general merits of annexa-
ton such a union would not tend in any
degree to mitigate the competition of
the people of Canada with the people ON
this side of the border, either in products
of the field or in labor. With Canada
a part Of the United States the ten
denotes of prices of farm products and
wages of labor would be to equalize
themselves on both sides of the border.
The fact that the New England Nc
Kinleyites favor political union with
Canada IS a significant proof that they
attach no Importance to their own argu
men.s in favor of high tariff against
Canadian products, since annexation
would remove the last barrier against
absolute free trade with the United
States and Canada.

which the people send through the mails
the government collects $5S.oo0ooo an

more nearly the charge for service to
the cost Of service.
The abolition Of the ranking privi-
lege would be a long step in the right
direction. Il is a privilege that is vii
lainously abused. The difficulty that
would be encountered in changing the
rate for second-class matter has grown
out of the needless legislation that has
gwen a newspaper rating to nearly
every form Of publication. The result
has been to load down the mails largely
wrh Objectionable matter the publish
ers Of which reap a profit at the expense
Of the postal service.
What is needed is to revise the sec
ond-class schedule and give TO newspa-
pers a separate classification. The
newspaper IS as important TO the gen.
eral welfare in the dissemination Of
quick intelligence as cheap letter
rate; and any enlargement Of the postal
charges which should compel an in
crease in the price of newspapers to
mail subscribers would create popular
dissatisfaction. With the repeal Of the
franking privilege and with a proper
revision of secOnd-class rates on matter
other than newspapers. one-cent letter
postage might be accomplished and
leave a balance of profit on the business
of the POst0fice Department.

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION.

The Immigra ton Commission ap-
pointed by Secretary Carlisle a little
over a year ago has just made its re
port The chief point Of interest in this
volum.nous document IS the discussion
of the question of Canadian imm,g ra-
ton. Canadian workingmen, it says,
have been coming and going across the
border for many years, 10 the incalcula-
BILE disadvantage Of American labor. It
is es, mated that not less than 100000
persons come yearly from Canada 10
the United States. and that quite so per
cent. Of them reurn to their homes
at the end of the busy season, or after
they have earned certain sum Of
money. Among these birds of passage
are not included the workers who come
to Detroit. Buffalo and other border
cites in the United States. While the
Atlantic Ocean is some check upon the
importation of cheap labor from Eu-
rope. The cheap laborers from Canada
have only TO sep across the border;
and there they are! American work
ngmen. the report continues, justly
complain of this competition, and can
no, comprehend why Congress does not
devise some means to protect them
aga.ns, s.,
How Congress is to solve this diff
Guilty of Canadian immigration does not
appear very clearly in this report. The
Commission recommends an amend
mend Of the laws to regulate imm:gra-
ton by land and sea SO as to protect
American labor and to this end to
wholly exclude such foreigners as do not
.n.end to settle permanently in this
country. Such a law might easily be
enacted. but 3. would be no easy mat
ter to enforce it.
We most assuredly could not bar for
eigners VINO desire to visit this country.
and it would require considerable skill
TO frame a law 10 NEE, the cases Of
those immigrants who come here 10 stay
and of those who desire TO return. And
# the United States passed law 20 pro
h.b.t Canadian work.ngmen from cross
ing the border for temporary employ
ment. Il would open the way for the
passage Of a similar law by Canada In
retaliation and result in endless petty
annoyance.
