A MARYLAND republican newspaper
saws: "The South should not forget
that, looked at from purely business
point of view, lynching should never
be tolerated. Capital is always timid
in any region in which lawlessness il
allowed to have the upper hand. y
Why, there were more needless lynch
ings IN Maryland last year, of both white
people and negroes, than in any South
ern State, and if capital be timid where
lawlessness is allowed to have the up
per hand, it certainly ought to be scared
to death in the State that never "came. y

The IDAHO CoNTEsT.-In response to a
dispatch from Chairman Jones. of the national
democratic committee, urging dom Gratis in
the Idaho legislature to vote for Dubois for
senator, sixtGon of tho eighteen democratic
members of the legislature have signed dis
patch to Mr.. Jones, which says:
I'VE denounce the arbitrary interference by
federal authorities in local affairs as viola
ton of the constitution of the United States
and q crime against free institutions.
THE democratic party having been ratified
by an overwhelming majority at the polls,
the adoption of your suggestion to support
Mr.. Dubois would stultify our party and for
ever damn in the estimation of our constitu.
ents every democrat elected by tho majority
in the Idaho legislature.
THE action of Secretary Walsh in seeking
to set aside the entire machinery of our State
organization before the campaign and now, is
q most high-handed, unwarranted proceeding
and unparalleled in the history of American
politics."
Senator Jones replied to the Idaho demo.
Gratis as follows:
MY action and that Of prominent demo-
cratic members of the national committee
and otneis is in no sense an interference in
local affairs. Prominent and leading repub-
AASS'Ao eNooAAuOhCO SuCIl pditS duU gave
hearty support TO the Platform and candi-
dates of the Chicago convention, and it
would, in my opinion, be an exceedingly
nsrrow and undemocratic course for tho
party to fail to testify its high appreciation
of such conduct. We cannot discriminate
against such men without harm to our great
cause We hero have acted for the cause
not for any man-for the whole country and
not for State.
This question is not and cannot be confined
10 Idaho. We therefore urge that our
friends in Idaho shall not lose sight of the
effect of their action on the whole country
aud our great cause in their excitement over
local affairs. Eaving proposed for weeks to
vote for populist satisfactory to them and
being denied the opportunity to do 30, demo
Gratis cannot be charged with violating sgree-
ment referred to. They have discharged
every assumed obligation"

HOUSE.

The House to-day, after the reading
of the journal, entered upon the con-
sideration of the immigration bill as
agreed upon by the conference of the
House and Senate.
1t was agreed that the debate should
continue until Ais o'clock to-day and
that members should have the right to
print.
Mr.. Danford opened the debate in
the presence Of large number of
members, but an unusually small at
tendance in the galleries. The time
had come, he said, when something
should be done to restrict immigration.
Time and again the conventions of the
two great parties had promised the
country relief on this score; but this
was the real first effort to make good
these promises.
Mr.. Doolittle asked what was the
purpose of departing from the educa-
tional test fixed by the House and the
Senate bill and providing that the i'm
migrant should read and write the con-
stitution of the United States in the
language of their native or resident
country"

reach the Russian Jews, who, being
driven from their homes, and having
