Stone on Immigration.

In a speech at a Republican meeting
at Athens, Bradford county, on the
subject of immigration, Hon. VIM. 4.
Stone, Republican candidate for the
nomination for Governor, said
"I have tried to further the passsse
of law which will restrict that unnat-
ural and abnormal immigration which
annually is brought TO our shores, and
which forces our laboriDg people into
competition with the pauper labor Of
Europe. have no prejudice against
foreigners; l would be glad to see them
all bettered in their condition; but
believe that the immigration to which
we are now subjected and have been
for the last twenty years has done US
great harm an1 will do Us considerably
greater harm unless it is restricted.
believe that the laboring man is as
much entitled to protection as the cap
i,alist and that if it is right to put a
tariff or an obstruction upon imported
articles for the protection of home cap
ital it is right to put a tariff or obstrlc
tion upon foreign immigrants for the
protection Of our labOring men and
women. Immigration IS all right and
proper when confined to that normal
number which meets the wants Of a
growing country, but it is wrong and
unjust when allowed in such uHreason-
able numbers as forces our laboriDg
people to work for wages which are in
sufficient to supply their wants and Of
fer them the necessities of life and pre-
serve their equality with their fellow
men.
"Either one of the two things must
take place; we must either restrict inn
migration or force our labOring men
and women to work for European
wages. A laboring man can live as
cheaply in this country as he can in
any country in Europe, if he is willing
to live as the laboring man lives in
Europe. But he cannot maintain that
respectable equality among his neigh
bors which he has heretofore been ac-
customed to maintain. If the immi-
grants were divided among the diff
ferent States in proportion to the pop
ulation of the different States it would
be far better"

From the Baltimore sun.
In an address at Anna Nolis the other
day Commander Thomas Nelson, re-
tired naval officer, paid a just tribute
10 the enlisted men in the navy. He
said that in a recent cruise the records
Of 50 per cent. OF tie men were fault
less, and only per cent. of them were
bad. The other Is per cent. had been
guilty of being unpunctual or Of some
lrifling matter. He showed that one
disreputable sailor makes more noise
aud attracts more attention than a
hundred quiet and orderly ones, who
are not noticed.
The personnel of the United States
navy, both officers and enlisted men,
has always been excellent, and the ma
Wy has been credit to the country in
every instance where it has been en-
gagged. The superiority of the enlisted
men over those Of other countries, and
especially in gunnery and marksman-
ship, has been remarkable. In the war
of 1872 this superiority over the Brit
ish navy was admitted and deplored in
England. In that war and in other
wars in which the navy has been en-
gagged the patriotism and courage of the
enlisted men have been conspicuous.
Commander Nelson said there was new
er a call for volunteers to engage in
some extra hazardous service that the
number offering was not greater than
the number required.
There is no reason to believe that the
men in the service at this time are any
way inferior in courage and patriotism
and efficiency to those who fought un-
der Bainbridge and Decatur.

do believe that the Republican party
has still career Of usefulness before il,
and that the party of Mckinley, the
wise President and the great leader, is
needed in this year of our controversy
with Spain.
The Republican party was the war
party of the COS, and under Mckinley
it must of necessity be the war party in
this Spanish contest. What more fit
ting candidate to lead the Republican
hosts to victory in Pennsylvania, them
than William A. Stone, whose record
in Congress has made him prominent,
not only in the State, but in the nation?
Congressman Stone comes from a
family of fighters. There were foUr
brothers, ali of whom went to wars
Two of them were in the Old Bucktail
Regiment. One of these was twice
wounded on the battlefields, and the
other nearly starved in AndersOnville
Prison. A third, now dead from dis
ease contracted in the army, fought in
the same regiment with William A.
Stone, the probable candidate of the
Republican party for Governor. Will

Assaults upon the Legislature may
serve to give ammunition to the Demo-
erats, but they can not harm William
A. Stone. He is beyond all assaults,
for his record is clean, and it is that Of
an honest and manly man, one who

Yes, Stone will do, and it is about

the assaults upon the Republican party

No More Unknown. "

When the men Of the regular and
volunteer armies go into action they
will wear around their neeks little tags
of aluminium, by which they may be
identified if found later on the field Of
battle. In the last war it was often i'm
possible to properly identify the dead
soldiers, and thousands were buried in
graves marked unidentified" The
war department has prepared this sys-
tenn of identification, and it has been
decided that on each tag shall be the
numeral assigned each man on the
muster rolls, with the letter Of his conf
pany, battery, or troop, and his regi-
ment. Th-se tags will be sent to the
troops in the South when it is evident
that fight is on hand.
