that in the presidential mind.
There is widely spread impression
that some of the beauties of the sui
tan's harem have been doing mission
airy duty among the high priests of
the Powers. There are reasons for be-
lieving that way at least, else why this
leaning to Moslem shades of faith and
crucifying the Greeks.

There is an effort on foot to establish
a southern lyceum circuit. Henri Wat
terson is the presiding genius of the
new departure. The experiment has
lanta and has succeeded admirably.
The intent is to have a cooperative
movement in all the considerable cities
of the south, through which entertain
ing and instructive lecturers can be
heard at the lowest possible figure, thus
insuring the greatest possible number
of hearers, and correspondingly extend
ing the beneficial effects of the lecture
as a means of instruction. There are
no reasons why the organization
should not include this city, and the
establishment of a lyceum in this CEN
ter of intelligence and population
would perhaps aid somewhat in solving
| the question that brought so many of
the representative people of San An
tonic into social conference at the
| Menger hotel on Thursday night of this
week. The number of members and
| the cost of membership IN each local
| lyceum will determine the number
quality and price of lectures. To any
effort that may be put forth in this di.
rection the Light will give the hearth
est support.

GOING OUT AND COMING IN.

Gold is going out and the immigrants
are coming in. This latter is the more
serious concern. A going out of the
gold Of the country is to be expect
ed. at stated easons of the year, and for
several months there has been no
movement of the yellow metal east
ward. In the present outflow there IS
nothing to occasion concern. In the
influx of thousands of foreigners the
alarm is to be found. There does not
appear to be at Washington any ade-
quate conception of the danger to the
working interests of this country in
this continued influx of foreign labor.
Some of these fine mornings the disas-
ter will be found to have overtaken
us in way that it would have been
wisdom to avoid by wise measures of
legislation. There is a singular OBJ
tuseness in the manner in which the
country deals with this question. 1t is
not to be wondered that the free trade
Democrats close their eyes and their
ears against the attempt that is made
to properly restrict immigration, for
they believe in free trade and of course
in the free influx of all Old World la
Dor, no matter what effect it may have
upon labor conditions here. With the
Republicans it is not so. They believe
in protection, advocate it, and fight
for the adoption of protective duties
by the National Congress, while at the
same time they refuse to protect labor
itself by the most obvious means, the
restraint of oreign labor from coming
into home competition with that of this
country. You might as well try to dam
the current of the Mississippi with
sawdust as to try to protect the labor of
this country in its productive work
while there is no protection against
the influx of as many foreign workmen
as choose to come to this country to
underbid the native workman. The
strange spectacle is now presented of
a Republican Congress assembled in
special session to worry over tariff
that shall exclude the products of for
eign countries, and at the same time
that same Congress lets the unchecked
tide of labor itself flow into the Amer
lean labor market in an unbroken
stream. Perhaps some day this folly
will be knocked in the head, but there
is no evidence that the country is go
ing TO be threatened with it suddenly.
without restricting immigration the
raising of duties on foreign products
will not much avail to correct the evils
that are now so apparent. This re-
striction must come if the American
laborer is not to sink rapidly to the
level of the foreign workman.

In old times to dine with nObleman
cost more in tips to the servants than
club dinner. James Payn relates
that Lord Poor, II well-named Irish
peer, excused himself from dining
with the Duke of Ormond upon the
ground that he could not afford it.
"If you will give me the guinea have
to pay your cook (fancyD will come
as often as you choose to ask me, "
which was accordingly done. The
Duke, however, had not the pluck TO
stop the practice.
Lord Taafe, a general officer in the
Austrian service, did what he could.
He always attended his guests to the
door; when they put their hands into
their pockets, he said; "No, if you
do give it, give it to me, for it was L
who paid for your dinner. To Sir
Timothy Waldo must be given the
credit of putting an end to the mon
strous practice. After dinner with
the Duke of Newcastle he put a crown
into the cooks haud-it was rejected.
81 do not take silver, sir. " VERY
good, aud 1 do not give gold. This
courageous reioinder caught ON, "
aud the day yof walls to cooks was over.
