ON THE SPEAKERS DESK.

EVER since the immigration restriction bill was
 sent from the Senate to the House Mr. Danford - of Ohio, chairman of the House Committee on Immigration, has been periodically giving promises that he would call 1t up in the House and get vote on it. Up to this time these promises have not been kept
 At one time it was decided the bill should be taken up on March 15 When that day arrived, how ever the Loud postofce appropriation bill obtained the right of way, and then according to dis patches from Washington Mir. Danford rose and asked, What is the parliamentary status of the irnm- grafton bill?' ''It is on the Speakers desk" replied MT. Reed "and can be called up at any time when a privileged matter is not before the House" MT. Danford thereupon sat down. A week has passed and the bill is still the Speakers desk.
 In the meantime public ilnpatience at the delay is increasing and there Is growing suspicion that sort of ugglery IS going to prevent the bill from being brought up at all at this session. We called attention some time ago to the strong oppo- sition to the bill which had been organized in the East and to the mass meetings called to protest against the which had been held in several of the larger Eastern cities It Is evident from the re- suits that these meetings and the force (which organ ized them have not been without their effect. They have kept the bill suspended out of reach for weeks .,nd may keep 1t there indefinitely.
 Tn this state of affairs 1t is somewhat surprising to see that the New York Press attributes the delay to Republican Congressman from the West. In re- editorial 1t said It is understood that certain Western members, although Republicans, are using every means in their power not merely to postpone the blD but defeat t The Press is so prone to see evil in everything Western that it has reached the point where it sees Western influence in everything evil It would be interesting to know on what evil dence bases its belief that Western fighting immigration restriction. The league that has been organized to oppose the bill has its headquarters in New York. and all of its mass meetings up to date have been held in cities east of the Mississippi.
 There is no cause, however, for sectional recrim- nations on this issue The is one on which all sections of the Union should stand together This is certainly of Republicans, for their platform of 1896 pledged them to enact better restriction bill for the protection of the quality of American citizen ship and the wages of American labor. The bill is on the Speakers desk. and perhaps if petition or two from American labor organizations sent to Washington Mr. Danford might be induced to call it up some day and take vote on it.

GORMAN AND HILL.

| HILE the free silver men are having their \AI own way in the Democratic party in the West they are by no means masters ot the camps of the party east of the Mississippi. The gold men in that section are making plans and forming com- bnations of all kinds regain control of the party organization in their States, and some of them are ambitious enough to attempt to capture the national organization before the assembling of the conven- ton in 1900.
 One of the bodest of these schemes is a plan to oust Mr. Bailey of Texas from his position as leader of the Democratic party in the House of Representa- tves. According to this plan Hill is to be nom- mated for Congress in New York and German in Maryland The hope of the projectors of the scheme is elect both of these able party leaders but they would be fairly well satisfied if they elect one Their scheme is based upon the assumption that Bailey holds his place as leader in the House simply because there IS no strong Democrat there to op- pose him. If the conservative Democracy can get either Hill or German into the House they are on- vinced the of the young man from Texas will be immediately eclipsed
 It is not certain whether the two eminent leaders would consent to accept seat in the House even if 1t could be assured them by their friends. If the Democratic party were united 1t would be different Under such circumstances the chance of becoming Speaker of the House in case of the election of
 
 who ambitious of political leadership and power With united party to sustain him the Speakc- is hardly less potent than the President himself With divided party, however, the Speakers position would be far from enviabe one and Democracy is divided This consideration may interfere with the programme that has been marked out Mir Hill and MT. German may conclude that 1t would be better for their political fortunes we'll as for their personal repose to decline a nomination.
 Whatever may be the outcome of the plan, the fact that IS being extensively discussed i'll the East IS evidence of the ardor with which the Demo- crats of the old school fighting redeem them selves from the domination of the new men brought to the front by the campaign of 1896. They will put their best to the front in the elections this fall and even if neither Hill nor German goes to Con- gress to lead them on the chances are MT. Bailey of Texas will have some pretty strong opponent to defeat if he attempts to hold in the Congress his position as leader of his party.

OBLITERATION OF SECTIONAL
 LINES

The country is to be congratulated upon the almost total obliteration of the sec tional lines which for so many years marked the division of the United States into slave and free territory and finally threatened it's partition into two separ- ate governments y the dread ordeal of civil war; The era of reconciliation, so long and earnestly desired, has happily come, and the feeling of distrust and hostility between the sections is every where vanishing, let us hope never to return. Nothing is better calculated to give strength to the nation at home, in crease our power and influence abroad and add to the permanency and security of our free institutions than the restora- ton of cordial relations between the peo- pie of all parts of our beloved country New York Sun.

RoME's CURSE OF GOLD.
New York Sun.

4NtW IUIh oUII
 Hon. William Jennings Bryan spoke his piece at Rome, Ga, last week. In intro ducing him, Captain John J. Seay, May or-elect,' complimented both the Italian Rome and the Georgian. The latter, built on seven hills, at the confluence of two magnificent navigable streams, sur rounded by rich valleys and beautiful mountains, lies in a panorama unsur- passed in natural beauty and grandeur by any city in the world" Ancient Rome was once mistress of the world; to her all nations of the earth paid tribute. Why is she no longer the mistress of the world? Why has the payment. of the curse of gold If the Roman republic in it's last days had had a statesman and an economist like the fearless, eloquent and sagacious William J.

STREET CONTRACTORS RINGS.

n MORNING contemporary announces with / \ flourish that the Grand Jury has again dis covered a street contractors ring at the City Hall. The Call made the same announcement sev- eral days ago, but, as in tEis instance, the news was accompanied by statement that the jurors could do nothing" By do nothing the reporters that the ring has conductee itself in seemly manner carefully observed the law, and has stolen without rendering any of it's members liable to in dctment. In due time we shall, therefore, probably hear that the pursuit of the thieves has been aban doned
 One cannot cultivate familiarity with the methods employed by the Board of Supervisors and the Street Department in carrying public work in this city without a feeling of acute disgust. For twenty years the latter department has served purpose whatever except to provide lot of steam beer politicians, too incompetent to otherwise earn a living with fat places. In connection with the Street Committee of the Supervisors the chief pur- pose of the institution has been to fasten mechanics liens upon the property of inoffensive citizens The greatest wonder of the century that the property owners have submitted to robbery so long They are tractabe lot or they would long ago have voted
 At one time during period of over four years ring of bituminous rock contractors paid the City Hall politicians royalty of cents every foot of that pavement laid in the city. We do not know whether this practice still prevails but if has been discontinued 1t is recent affair. At the time a cement ring sold all the cement, and broken rock ring all the rock used in street work. These operations were effected by doctoring the specified tions. Prices of public contracts kept up by attacking the responsibility of antring contractors and by bringing suits against them whenever they attempted to melt bituminous rock in violation of an alleged patent" on the steaming process owned by the ring.
 The money to support this horde of schemers was taken from property owners by force. The cost of street work IS legal charge on the land assessed and as the courts always careful to that the liens of mechanics and material maintained there Is nothing for property-owner to do when caught by the ring but pay Thus for years the fee simple of every piece of real estate in San Francisco ras been held subject to the demands of street tractors rings similar to the discovered for the tenth time by the Grand Jury and toward the destruction of which nothing be done And yet the people of this unhappy town are contented with their lot. Reveling in "concrete" foundations made of sand and soft rock in constructed of lime barrels of asphalt that maintains the consistency of n1ush in all seasons and in a street contractors ring which charges profit doing nothing of 500 per cent, they happy as larks and go tripping down their Appan way to business every day without a thought of the

the Palace Hotel the other evening, and as they slipped the sparkling wine and eXhaled the blue smoke of their HavanaS they naturally discussed variety Of in- teresting subjects and among them arose that of love letters.
 1T know of man in Georgia said one of the gentlemen "who received a love letter just thirty-siX years after 1t was penned and the first intimatfon that he had of it was when he read it in one of the large New York dailies. The man is now a prominent politician, but at the time the letter was written he was a sol dier in the Confederate army.
 .'The mail containing 1t was captured by an officer in the Federal army, who kept the letter, along with bundle Of others. Only recently he discovered them at his home, where they had been hidden away ever since the war. Thinking that the letters would make good story for a paper he disposed of them, and they were published, the love letter among them.
 .'When the Southern politician read the letter written to him by his sweet heart he had food for reflection. In it she told of her undying devotion and fidelity. and gave her soldier lover to un- derstand that life without him would be a barren waste Now she is the mother of a large family, but she did not marry the Southern politician. No: she is at present the wife of his most hated polit- ical rival.''
