Facts 70 Be Kept in Mind,

The House has found, it necessary to
appropriate over eleven lailliOn dollars
on account of deficiencies. and the ap-
preparation for paying the interest on
the national debt was over eleven and
a half million dollars larger than it was
for the year ending June 90. 1888. Will
the people sofs this scountry evW .fgain
place any faith in the promises. OF

requires a good deaf of time for Some
facts to make their way into the public
mind unless they are displayed in
some fantastie ser4 sensational manner;
on the other hand it does not take the
great public long to forget much and
lose interest sin more. sa 90
The above mentioned fact is well
illustrated by others bearing upon the
Presidential situation. The public
came to connect the name of Mckinley
with the prosperity attained under a
wise protective tariff This was moi
very strange, when is considered She

cratic press, throughout the country
and the advertising he has had by both
friend and foe. 1t Is now we'll under

the masses, that Mckinley had no more
to do. with tramihgsthat measure thar

had less, really, to do in making it q

lost of the latter fact because the pub

House, thus completing a record never
before 'equalled. This Is all the more
remarkable because Of the unfavorablf
circumstances surrounding the work
that has been done. When Mr.. Reed
assumed the speakership OF this House
he had so large Republican majority
to deal with that experienced legisla-
tors predicted that it would prove un-
wieldy under normal conditions and In
view OF the rivalry among the friends
Of presidential candidates would be
much more so. There was besides an
empty treasury an inadequate revenue,
q free silver bugaboo an unusual call
from all over the country for proper
coast Notifications and circumstances
that rendered neglect to provide these
almost criminal in the sight of many.
The legitimate demands, the absolute
~ necessary appropriations, must in
ievitably be beyond the capacity of the
debilitated treasury and whatever they
might be there would surely be con-
|demnation for political effect
There is no reason to suppose that
Mr.. Reed did not appreciate the diff
culties which teset him when he en-
tered upon his duties. And it Is a re-
markable fact that up to this time,
contrary to the expectations of many
Of his warmest admirers, he has not
made one mistake unless to do the
right thing regardless of consequences
be mistake. 1t. would be to doubt
the evidence of certainty to assume
that Speaker Reed in his efforts to
keep the expenditures as nearly as
might be to the limit by inadequate
receipts did not know that he was
offending men who could be instlu-
mental in choosing Reed delegates to
ST. Louis. He knew that they would
write to their constituents blaming
the speaker for their inability to get
desired appropriations through. and
that the resentment thus aroused
would be detrimental to his candidacy.
1t cannot he that Speaker Reed. in
having that free silver addenda to the
deficit bill thrown out cf the House
bodily, was unaware that such a step
would be likely to arouse hostility to
him in the free silver camp.
1t is truly a remarkable thing that
Notwithstanding al! these circum-
stances the speaker has not exposed
himself to a fair criticism on The
grounds of political expediency. OF
course the Democrats will raise a howl
about the very appropriations they
supported but it is significant that only
the other day free silver Democrat
from Missouri allowed his admiration
for the Speakers course to find utter
ance i'm these words, THE speaker Of
the House has stood like d lion block
ing the pathway of extravaganza"
Undoubtedly Mr.. Dockery upon the
stump this fall will find occasion to
criticise Mr.. Reed. who politically is
opposed on every leading issue to Mr..
Dockery. But the words spoken in the
House last week should not be forgot
ten or overlooked by the people. They
constitute an honest tribute to an
honest official who sets duty above
personal Ferferment. We cannot be-
lieve that such course will be alto
gether unnoticed py the public and
that it will be solely it's own reward.

IMMIGRATION.

The report of the commissioner gem
eral of immigration shows that the nc
ceSSion to our population from foreign
lands during the fiscal year ending Juno
80 was 34O,36S, which was u per cent
less than for the preceding year. These
immigrants brought into the country
about SJ,OOO,OOO and with regard TO
their character the report speaks of
them rs n hardy, sound laboring class.
accustomed and apparently well able TO
earn livelihood wherever capable and
industrious labor can secure pmDloy-
ment' The commissioner expresses the
opinion that our alien population is not
growing in undue proportions, the num-
Der of those who annually return to
their own country warranting ii doubt
whether there has been any material in
crease in our foreign born population
since 1893. There was an extraordinary
exodus of aliens in 1894 and 1895.
doubtless fully equaling the arrivals in
those years, but there are no statistics
of the people who return to Europc.
There is substantial reason. however.
for the conclusion of the commissioner
of immigration that there has been no
material addition to our foreign-born
population in the last three years.
In view of this and of the generally
good character OF the immigrants in
that time. there can be no excuse for
renewing agitation for further restric-
tions upon immigration. Yet Il DISPOSE
ton is being shown to do this ana in
responsible quarters. 1t is intimated
that the new administration and con
grcSs will be found favorable 10 more
restrictive legislation ana there are in
dications that influential pressure will
be brought TO bear in behalf of such
legislation. The republican party can
not afford TO forget how greatly the
country is indebted to its foreign-born
citizens for the result of the late general
election. 1t is statement that can be
demonstrated that but for the support
which those citizens gave to the sound
money cause it would probably have
been defeated. Eliminate the foreign
born vote given to the republican presi-
dental ticket in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa and II will be found that most if
not all of those states would have de-
clared for free silver. Nearly all Of the
sound money congressman elected in
those states owe their election TO the
foreign born voters. In the northern
states the vast majority of these citizens
were on the side of national honor and
a sound currency. Many of them had
