In q message setting forth his reasons
for the veto Mr.. Cleveland says:
1T is not claimed, believe, that the
time has come for the further restriction
of immigration on the ground that an ex-
cess of population overcrowds our land.
II Is said, however, that the quality OF
recent immigration is undesirable. The
time Is quite within recent memory when
the same thing was said of immigrants
who with their descendants are now mum
bered among our best citizens. 1t is said
that too many immigrants settle in our
cities, thus dangerously increasing their
idle and vicious population. This is Ger.
tainly disadvantage. 1t cannot be
shown, however, that it affects all our
cities nor that il is permanent; nor does
It appear that this condition where it ex-
lists demands as its remedy the reversal
of our present immigration policy.
The claim Is also made that the influx
of foreign laborers deprives of the oppor-
tunity to work those who are better en-.
titled than they to the privilege of earning
their livelihood by daily toll. An unfor-
tunate condition Is certainly presented
when any who are willing to labor are nm.
employed. But so far as this condition
now exists among our people, II must be
conceded to be a result of phenomenal
business depression and the stagnation OF
all enterprises In which labor is a factor.
With the advent OF settled and wholesome
financial and economic governmental poli-
cies and a consequent announcement 10
the activity Of capital the misfortune OF
unemployed labor should, to great extent
at least, DO rcmedied. II II continues its
natural consequences must be to check tho
further immigration to our cities of for
eign laborers and to deplete the ranks of
those already here. In the meantime
those most willing and best fitted ought
to be able to secure the advantages OF
such work as there II to do.
Tho best reason that could be given for
this radical restriction Of immigration 1,
the necessity of protecting our population
against degeneration and saving our ma
tfonal peace and quiet from imported tur-
bulence snd disorder.
The requirement concerning the COM
Ing Of illiterate relatives of immigrants
proceeds upon the assumption that these
relatives are In every case by reason of
poverty liable to become public charge
unless tho immigrant is capable of their
support The contrary 10 vcry often true.
And Jet II unable to read and write,
though quite able and willing 10 support

present at the attack of Sebastopol and
at other operations in that war. For his
eminent services there he received the
Crimean and the Turkish medals and the
Sebastopol clasp. For one year-1SS1-
1882-he was secretary to the first lord of
the admiralty, and was aid-de-camp to
the queen in November, 1881. He served
his country In many important positions,
notably rs superintendent of tho Sheer

Information Regarding the Ohices
President-elect Mckinley will find seek
ers for Office for every place at his dis
posal. The blue book has been studied
carefully by hundreds of citizens anxious
to serve their country, and though the
civil service law has restricted to great
extent the number of places at his dis
posal, there remain many desirable billets.
First in Importance are the three em-
bassies-with their salaries of SIT 800 per
annum; the Mexican mission, paying the
same wage, and the italian embassy, fixed
at $4,000. Equal to the latter in salary,
though slightly less in diplomatic stand
ing, are the missions to Austro- Hungary,
Brazil, China, Japan and Spain.
There are eight nice missions, with SAL
aries of $4,000 per annum, namely, Ar
gentine, Belgium, Chilli, Colombia, Guate-
mala, and Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, and Salvador, Peru and Turkey. At
81 800 per annum are rated the missions
to Denmark, Hawaii, Corea, the Neither
lands, Paraguay, and Uruguay, Portugal,
Sweden and Norway, Switzerland, and
Venezuela, nine in all. One salary is $6,-
500, that of the minister to Greece and
Servia. Seven places pay $4,000 per an
mum, Bolivia, San Domingo, Ecuador,
Haiti, Persia. Siam and Egypt, where we
are represented by an agent and consul
general In the same person.
Many of the embassies and ministers
are supplied with secretaries, interpret
ers and attaches. with more or less attrac-
tive salaries. The best paid of these is the
secretary of the Hawaiian mission, who
receives $4,000 per annum. The others,
thirty-fve in number, have salaries at
tached all the way from $1,000 down to
$500.
AS to the consular service some doubt
exists. BY a rule made last September
President Cleveland provided that all con-
sulates with salaries and official fees run
ming between 81 900 and 81, 800 should be
filled by only three methods-promotion
or transfer, appointment of persons pre-
viously serving the State Department well
In some capacity, and lastly, by appoint
ment, after examination. That was as
far as he went in the application of civil
service principles, and 1t remains to be
seen whether or not the numerous incum-

According to Mr.. Havemeyer, of the to-
tai profits made in the sugar refining busi-
ness in this country from 70 to 80 per cent
goes to the American Refining Company
that is, to the sugar trust. Consequent
ly the trust pocketed about 81 out of the
AZ millions for profit in 1896.
The face value of the stock on which
the trust pays dividends is IS million dol
lars. Mr.. Havemeyer admits that the
value of the property represented by that
stock is less than 20 millions. 1t is prob
able that the organizers of the trust have
made something like so millions by ped
ding out their watered stock to the gen.
eral public.
The dividends paid on that stock are
outrageously high. On the basis of the
capital invested they are colossal. A pro-
fit of 80 MILLIONS is made on an invest
ment of less tnan 20 millions. Such n
profit would be impossible if the trust did
not, in defiance of law, monopolize the
sugar refining industry of the United
States, which has population of II mill
ion sugar consumers.

THURSDAY, MARCH IL, 1897.

Mckinley also will have number Of hfe
appointments at his disposal, including
places on the Supreme Court, the Federal
bench. and in the army and navy. Of
which class of officers are allowed to retire
on full pay.
Postal Service a Wide Field.
No field embraces more positions over
which contests will be made by aspiring
candidates than the postal service. There
are just 70,612 poetoffices In the country,
and most of these change hands with ev-
cry administration. OF these over 66,5OO
are fourth-class postofiices, and 10000 OF
these $4,000 are money order Offices, or
ones that pay well. The retiring admins
tration is the first one to fix a four-year
tenure of office, but this, of course, Is not
binding.
OF the presidential postoffices, about $50
will be at the disposal of Mr.. Mckinley
during his first month In Office. There are
forty cases of presidential postmasters'
commissions already expired, not acted on
by the Postoffice Department, and thirty
eight more will expire during March.
Semi-attached to the department are
the two commissioners to investigate the
overtime claims of letter carriers, now
A. b. Hurt, ex-doorkeeper of the House,
and Judge Lorenz. The former draws
not only the $5 per diem paid as commits
sioner. but also $1,000 per annum as as
sistant superintendent of the free deliv-
cry system of the department.
Outside of the regular departmental SER
vice there are n number of independent
branches of the government service, to
some of which considerable patronage at
taches. The chief Of these places are the
commissioner of labor, public printer,
three civil service commissioners, libra
rian of Congress and superintendent Of
the library, commissioner of fish and
fisheries, and chief of the bureau of Amer
ion m renuhlica
