The anti-immigration bill is de-
spicahlc in some of its provisions
and is one against which common
sense and humanity ought to protest.
One section provides for the cxclu-
sion of all immig,a ants unable to read
or write the English language or the
language of their native or resident
country, and it is justly pointed out
that not only would difficulties arise
in executing this law but in enforc-
ing it steamship companies would
find it necessary to separate husband
and wife, parents and children,
should one or the other lack the re-
quircd ability to read. A more bar
barous statute could hardly be con-
ceived; it requires courage to advo-
cate its enactment, and IT is likely
that steamship officers would many
times hesitate in enforcing it to the
letter in view of the suffering which
would certainly follow.

BY EDWARD c. dana.

The question as to whether Mark
Hanna will or will not enter Nc
kinley's cabinet is causing a sus-
pense which ought soon to he re-
licved. 1t is generally believed that
Mr.. Hanna will go into the cabinet
if he wants a job of that kind.
The Mortified News, speaking of
the collectorship, remarks that it
would like to see man recognized
who has worked for the party and
whose business ability will warrant
the expectation of Il first-class adj
ministration of affairs; and one who
has not fed at the public crib for a
quarter of century or more.
So Vermont has narrowly escaped
having representative in the cabi-
net. DR.. w. Seward Webb has
been mentioned for very high office
or two in Vermont and 1t is not sur
prising to learn that he was earnest
ly recommended for cabinet office
by his Vermont friends and that his
name was "iavorably considered" by
the prcsidcnt-elect.
The senatorial mind is active
enough IN mind and body when b,
any possibility fight is in sight and
there is an opportunity to bluff and
blustei, but when measure like the
arbitration treaty has the floor the
senators are as incapable of doing
anything in response to an over
whelming public demand as so many
paralytlcs.

A MOUNTAIN BUNCOLST.

The drummer for a Boston shoe firm
trip through the mountain country of
the south, where Boston is priced
more for it's contributions to the feet
than it is for contributions to the
head, though Boston herself is not as
proud of her shoes as she is Of her
brains.
Certainly" he was saying to the
hotel clerk after he had signed the
pledge two or three times and had
dinner, 81 saw some strange things in
that strange country, but the strang-
est was mountain confidence man,
suppose you would call him. He was
in charge of detective on railroad
train leading off into the mountains,
and was then on his way to be handed
over to Deputy United States Mar
shall, who was waiting for him, fifty
miles down the road.
81 noticed his handouts and his air
of detection, and wondering what he
could have been doing, l had an in
him I learned that the man, young
one of twenty one, perhaps, had been
buncoing the green yaps in various
cities, and when the detective told
me of it that way and [ showed my
surprise, the prisoners face lost its
shadow for a moment, and cleaned
with pleasure and pride. Further eX-
PLANTATION developed the fact that this
young man had been doing thriving
business by ordering goods from va
rious firms in the cities to names of
firms, and when the goods were re-
ceived he would notify the shippers
that the coEsignees had failed or gone
out of business or were no good and
ask Instructions. AS rule he was
requested to dispose of the goods to
the best advantage, which he did,
pocketing the funds thus secured and
sending orders for more goods from
other firms to be shipped to other
points. Of course, he didn't get
sucker every time he threw in his
hook, but he caught enough to make
him good deal more money than he
could have earned at the usual noun
tain wages, besides the pleasure of
beating the city people in such an
easy game.
''It's an i'll wind that blows no good,
and the mountain people were really
sorry to see that man arrested, be-
cause every now and then he would
make deal by which he got enough
goods to start a small store, and the
prices he accepted for his stock were
such that the poorer people looked
upon him as public benefactor.
When he put up a sign: Goods at
half price, it meant that, and even
more, for he would sell for anything
he could get, and forthwith skip with
the proceeds"

Deafness cannot becured by local applica-
tions as they cannot reach the diseased por-
tion of the ear. There is only way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional rene
dies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dit1on of the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumb1ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tub restored to its normal
condition, hearing Will be destroyed forever;

NORDS OF WISDOM.

Two captains sink the ship.
Fine teeth beget broad grins.
The money payed, the work delay

Merit does much but fortune more
A thousand sorrows do not pay one
debt.
Pray devoutly and hammer on
s5outly.
A lover railing is not far from for
giving.
It apparently pays best to preach
to the few.
He is no fool who can both spend
and spare.
There is nothing older than yester
days news.
Pride often wears sackcloth under
it's dress suit.
True love can hope where reason
would despair.
Discipline is the art which teaches
man pot to run.
A little hill in low place thinks it
self mountain.
The best preaching is not always
done in the pulpit.
Eat and drink with friend, but do
not trade with him.
Falsehood, like nettle, stings those
WI NEEDLE with it.
Excessive laughter proceeding from
a slight cause is folly.
Virtue is a common property and
may be acquired by all.
He is mailman who, being rich,
lives as if he were poor.
Negligence numbers one thousand
victims to Intentions one.
Sheep are sometimes taken over a
bad road to a good pasture.
Many man wants better preach

A man may be a good talker and
still have an impeachment in his
thoughts.

FRANKNESS WITH FRIENDS.

It was once said of very able and
presence of his enemies, but that it
was very difficult for him to combat
the positions or views of his friends.
This is the weakness of a generous
nature; but it is, nevertheless, a
weakness. One ought to be able to
honestly, and intelligently as with
ones critics. In the matter of honest
dealing with common interests, for
instance, nothing is safe except the
most outspoken and uncompromising
frankness. The compassionateness
which sometimes inclines one to ac-
cept friends point of view in the
face of ones better judgment is al
most invariably calamitous to both
parties. 1t often happens that man
is placed in a position with relation to
his friend which compels him to act
upon his own Judgment of his friends,
capacity rather than upon the judg
ment of that friend. Every man has
his limitations and weaknesses, and
when those limitations and weak
nesses are in any way involved in the
settlement of question they ought
to be taken clearly into account oy
mans friends. Tt is no kindness to
be pushed into place for which one
is not fitted. It is no kindness to be
allowed to have ones way when that
way involves disaster Or disappolnt-
ment. Real friendship is based on
truth and nothing but truth-truth
always expressed in the language of
affection, tenderness, and sympathy.
but truth nevertheless. It is kinder
to point out frankly to friend that
he is not fitted for the place he is
seeking than to let him secure the
place and then tail in it; kinder to
point out to a friend that the course
of action which he urges is not based
on an intelligent Judgment than to
keep silent and allow him to persist
in it with the certain result of mis-
fortune and humiliation. We owe
our friends the kindness of entire
truthfulness; we owe them the i'm
mense help of complete frankness. If
they do not understand and appre
ciate our motives, the responsibility
rests upon them and not on us.-Out-
look.
