IMMIGRATION AND THE NEW
PRESIDENT.

General Horace Porter, who is an in
innate friend of President elect McKin-
ley, stated at a banquet in New York
the other night that beneficent piece
Of legislation that may be looked for
under Mckinley will be a measure
dealing properly with the subject of
immigration. Hestated that MIR. Mckin-
ley believes that this country should
be a refuge for the oppressed, but not
an Almshouse.
The new President will find the heart
of the country with him on that propo-
sition, but it will go out still more
warmly to him and to Congress If even
the asylum to the oppressed" busi-
ness is modified. Even the oppressed
Of other lands we have no room for, If
their oppression is the result Of politi-
cal schemes which we abhor. Con-
spirators, anarchists, chronic disturb
ers, bomb throwers and blatant pessi-
mists we do not want any more than
paupers and criminals. America should

anarchists and assassins to come here
solely to plot in safety against nations
with which we are at peace, and that
would not permit plotte1s and mischief
makers to rally in their Jurisdiction to
make war upon US either openly or by
assassination.
There are ten bills In Congress now
relating to restriction of immigration.
One Of these is upheld by the National
immigration League which insists that
ability to read and write in any tongue
shall be the test applied as to fitness,
In addition to those now provided by
the law. That is well as far as it goes,
but it falls short Of the mark.
II we are to protect our industries
from the unwholesome competition Of
foreign cheap labor and cheap labor
products. let us do as much In the di-
rection Of a restriction that will pro-
tect the laborer at home, the American
worker, artisan and skilled mechanic
against the Introduction of classes
which once here undercut underlive
and crowd out the American worker:
live on a pittance wage, such as is not
possible for him to do and maintain
the state we demand Of our citizens.

Mustapha Bey Is a Turk of the old
school, possessing all of the matrtmo-
nial or religious eccentricities of the
Mussulman. If he sees fit to bring
with him his large harem it will proba-
bly, be run with the utmost outward
propriety, but if he chose to conduct
it otherwise the laws are such that no
one could interfere. The authority OF
the United States could not even cross
his Threshold without permission.
The Turkish Minister, his suite, family
and servants are not subject to United
States laws on any account, not even
for murder.

General Weyler has taken to the field.
If. now, the rebels will make him take
to the woods and his heels, there will
be no mourning in America. He has
10000 men against 5000. SO that the
struggle Is an unequal one as to armed
forces But the rebels have this ad-
vantage. they are within natural in
trenchments, from which they can fight
foe ten times stronger than their
army. So there Is some chance for
Maceo and his men. and the people of

The Philadelphia Ledger" says:

We have, as a nation, decided moth
ing more clearly or emphatically than
that the will of the majority Of the
people Is the law. Assuming
that this Is a Union of States one and
indivisible, and not mere collection of
States, like marbles In a bag, all there,
but without cohesive unification, the
votes of the majority or plurality of the
citizens should alone determine who
shall or shall not be President
The will of the people Is supreme
when it Is expressed through the meth
DDS appointed, and Is perfectly free and
untrammeled. It is this truth that is
lost sight of by the machine politician
who assumes that the highest end of
political procedure is the success of
party. They who assume to do prac-
teal politics are very often heard to
exclaim that victory proves the will Of
the people. In one sense it is true, In
another it needs modification. The will
of the people expressed In an orderly
and constitutional manner means that
1t is to be supplemented; that laws are
to be passed that will reflect that will
and make practical the policy voted up
on. Victory does prove that the people
wish certain things to be done, but it
does not carry with it acquiesce1fce in
the result of an election If there Is fall
ure to obey that will. Before the peo-
ple's will becomes law there must be
performance by the representatives
chosen to carry the will into effect

Mrs. Boyle Is quite apt to figure largely in
the affairs of the White House, where, all
who know her aver, her graciousness, coup

boon to the mistress.
Mrs. Mckinley has close personal friends

of Dayton, was one of the reigning bellies
of the Buckeye State. During Major Nc
Kinley'S service as Governor these ladies
were prominent in all social affairs of the
executive.
There is person of the male persua-
sion, too, who is destined TO have much to
do with the social arrangements of the
White House. That is Mrs. Mckinley s
cousin, Sam SaXton, whom everybody in
Canton knows and likes. He has the dig
, nifty of Webster the grace of Chesterfield
and the affability of almost all the good
fellows anybody knows. All through the
campaign he was an Indispensable attend
ant upon Major Mckinley, and tx is doubt
full if any of all the people who helped
make the campaign receptions pass off
smoothly and with a minimum of wear and
tear of more service than this same
young man. The President-elect has vast
regard for young Saxton's social astute-
ness, and il is long odds that he will be
