ing when they land, are oyertaken by
misfortune and become objects of public
charities, it is certain that large
proportion of those who are public
charges were not self-supporting when
they arrived, and that very many of
them We're shipped from the old country
in order to get rid of them is evident
enough. The support of this great army
of paupers and lunatics is a heavy bur-
den It calls for more than half of the
enormous expense that is chargeable to
the pauper account of the country, and
the question how we may divest our
selves of such a load without being in
human is a very important one.
DON'T LIKE IT.
Fresno Republican: The Popocratic
papers do not like Secretary Cages

nances are in good condition and that
the country's prospects are bright If
you would be persona non grata with
the Popocrats just predict the posi-
bility of good times under Republican
rule.
IS IT THE LAW?
Alameda Encinal: Up in Nevada a
profound Judge has decided that when
a man beats another insensible with a
pair of brass knuckles it is not a case
Of assault with a deadly weapon, since
death did not follow There's a judg-
ment for you! Any instrument is not
a deadly weapon unless it shall have
produced death. In that case, when
a man shoots another and does not kill
him, he has committed a simple assault
and not an assault with deadly
weapon. This may be Nevada law
but it is neither common sense, COM
mon justice, nor common decency.

a platform that demands the unquali
fed free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l with gold. We have fought
that battle and it is lost We can
never fight it over until circumstances
are more favorable to ourselves. If we
are to succeed we must abandon this
extreme demand. The friends of silver,
although once defeated, are not yet de-
moralized This will not be true after
a second defeat" he warningly says:

THE LIONS TAIL.
Co1usa Sun: Just here the "Sun"
would like to deprecate the spirit that
is exhibited in this country by those
who love, as they express it, to twist
the lions tail. The English language
has carried civilization to the ends of
the earth, and it is bound to be the
language of civilization, and If that be
good-if the progress the world has
made is better than to have stood still
then the two great English-speaking
nations ought to be in close relation

derstanding on all subjects wherein
there might be a mutual benefit, or
benefit to mankind. Suppose some
power-Russia for exampfe-should re-
duce England to a second-rate power.

erclses nave Deen enlarged in scope as
the officers and men gained in pro-
ficiency and became better acquainted
with the qualities of their respective
ships, and now Secretary Herbert has
become satisfied of the practicability Of
undertaking regular blockade.
Charleston was selected as the objective
point because of the fine winter climate
and the availability of Hampton Roads
and Port Royal, S. c., as bases for the
blockading feet. The fun will begin early
in February, the exact date depending
upon the ability of the navy yard people
TO get the ships ready. Every one of
the ships that can be supplied with a
crew will participate either as block
adler or q blockade runner.
