seen to ride into view, followed by his

the line of Micbigan's 9Th was sent in
his direction. Another, with uneuing
precision, second later, from the same

The trumpet of the 1st sounded the
charge, and the LIST Mich. passed around

In front.
The order came from Col. Alger /:
Forward" Breasting the storm of

them back and gained the shelter. To

crossing the Chickahominy River and
the balance toward Ashland.
It was now dark. We held the field

SENATOR LODGES immigration bill
came up for consideration last Monday.
The senator had prepared a lengthy
speech which upheld the restrictions
placed upon the illiterate immigrants.
He showed that those excluded by the
illiteracy test were those who for the
most part remain in the congested
masses of our great cities, furnishing
large proportion of the population of
the slums. His tables show that illit-
eracy runs parallel with criminals.
paupers and juvenile delinquents of
foreign parentage, whose, percentage
is all out of proportion to their share
of the total population, when compared
to the percentage of the same classes
among the native born. He further
showed that the class of immigrants
shut out by this clause brings the least
money to this country and are always
quick to seek public or private charity.
In closing Mr.. Lodge said: ''More pre-
cious even than forms of government
are the mental and moral qualities
which make what we call our race.
While those stand unimpaired all is
safe. When those decline all is i'm
perilled. They are exposed to but a
single danger and that is by changing
the quality of our race and citizenship
through the Wholesale infusion Of races
whose traditions and inheritances,
whose thoughts and whose beliefs, are
wholly alien to ours, and with whom
we have never assimilated or even been
associated with in the past. The dan
ger has begun. It is small as yet, com
paratively speaking, but it is large
enough to warn us to act while there is
yet time and while it can be done cas-
lily and efficiently. The time has GER
tainly come, if not to stop, at least to
check, to sift and to restrict those i'm
migrants. In careless strength with
generous hand we have kept our gates
wide open to all the world. If we do
not close them we should at least place
sentinels beside them to challenge
those who would pass through. The
gates which admit men to the United
States, to the citizenship to the great
republic, should no longer be left I'M
guarded. Z

MERRITT BROS. are again successful
in the courts. A suit was brought
against them by F. A. Stratton to re-
cover, 81, 100 due on note given in the
purchase of Kentucky coal lands. The
Merritts put in a counter claim and
proved that the lands purchased were
worthless and that Stratton had really
been working a sawdust graft The
jury, after. .twenty-four hours deliber-
alton, brought in a verdict of $4,000
for the Merritts. Stratton was imme-
diately arrested for grand larceny.
This may be rubbing it in a little but
it is what the Kentuckian deserved.

OCCASIONS REGRET.

If that notorious committee of 1902
and the Minneapolis dailies would give
the plain facts and truth as to the rea-
sons for opposing Gov. Clough, how
many followers would they have? They
wouldn't have 100. Most of them would
desert the ranks. with shamed face.
Gov. Clough has made enemies since
he was elected lieutenant governor,
but on account of making those enc
mics he has made hundred friends to
every one enemy. It is to be regretted
that there are no more ignoramuses in
Minneapolis, for he could then count
his friends by the thousands. Morris
