In the proposed immigration bill be-
fore congress the plea is made that a
restriction of immigration is in the in
terest Of our unemployed millions Of
American wageworkers. This is the
same sneaking method so often used
by the republican party in its Internal
and hypocritical pretense of legislating
for the laboring man. The education
al qualification in the Lodge bill Is
wrong in principle and wrong in policy.
It is undemocratic, and, like the ia
nous republican force bill, is of the
same paternal ancestry of deceit and
bigotry. DR.. ]. H. Senner, who was
at the head of the immigration bureau
on Ellis Island and is now secretary of
the immigration Protective league.
says
There is no end of misunderstood
ing, not only by labor men, but by the
people generally, of the immigration
question, and especially in its relation
to labor. The army of unemployed Is
in no way due to immigration. For
eigners may belong to that army, but
that fact, like the existence of the ar
my, is due to reasons far remote from
their coming here.
Labor has much to fear from our

About May Is, the Postal Telegraph
company will install in the Chicago
Great Western dynamo room, at DEL
vein, Iowa, the heart of the Great
Western system, an engine dynamo and
six motor dynamos, to furnish power
for their telegraph service in this dis
trict. The power necessary is beyond
the capacity of the old style batteries,
of which 600 cells will be displaced. The
engine will be direct-connected Ii. e.,
without belting) to 220volt dynamo.
This will furnish current to six motor
dynamo machines, three Of which sup
ply current OF 200 volts, and the other
three supply 140 volts each, direct to
the wires through the switch board in
the depot Office. The great amount OF
current needed is due to the fact that
Oelwein is the terminal for some Of
the longest single wires in this coun-
try and the center of the Postal Tele-
graph system operating upon the lines
of the Chicago Great Western railway.
The current from the machines will be
obtained at an expense of about one
fourth of chat from batteries and is of
greater reliability. The cost of maxi
ing these changes will be about $1,000,
and the plant will be a model one of
Its kind.

What an expensive thing it is to flre
big guns is known by only few peo-
pie. There are many things to be con-
sidered in estimating the expense OF
discharging monster cannon. The cost
of the powder, of the projectile itself,
and wear and tear of the gun must all
be counted in before it is possible to
obtain an accurate result in figures. In
round numbers it costs to fire one OF
the modern eight-inch rifles 1882; those
of ten-inch caliber, $4S7; those OF
twelve-inch $685., and those of sixteen
inch, $1,S52. These figures include the
cost of the projectile and the powder at
35 cents per pound and the wear and
tear on the guns. To fire one OF
the twelve-inch mortars it costs $500

On the walls Of Paris are official pla-
cards announcing that an inquiry is
to be held concerning the proposed new
reservoir at Charonne, Gin accordance
with a royal decree dated August %,
1885," The decree was made by Louis
Philippe in the early part of his reign
and after lying in the allegiance for
more than threescore years, is now
about to be executed. Since it was made
France has been kingdom, an empire,
and twice a republic, and has passed
through two revolutions and a coup

and held to be in force by the govern
ment that has exiled the family of the
king who made it. There could scarce
,y be more striking example at once
of the premanence and the mutability
of government.

ORIENTAL NOTIONS SHOCKED.
Indian Who Found He Had to Talk
up" to Women.


What an educated inhabitart of In
dia thinks of modern women, her ways
and the ways of men outside the orient
toward her Is told In an ingenious and
diverting book recently written by an
Indian gentleman after his first Visit
to western Europe. In London and
Paris Through Indian Spectacles,' by
G. p. Pillai, B. A., of Madras, the au-
thor comes to the great woman ques-
ton in his own way. His visit to this
country increased his respect for wo-
men a hundredfold. In England you

ala it is all talking down. But the
privilege has its embarrassments for
the native. His embarrassments in

and entering the presence OF his

proper thing to pick it up? At home
you dare not do that. Then, in comes
your friends sister, and her "eagerness
TO shake hands with you sends thrill

YOU at home in India Can anything
be more atrocious? But it is the GUS
tom in England" He is still far from
the end of his troubles: And then,
the time for dinner arrives. And as
the chief guest of the evening, you are
asked to lead the lady of the house,
your friends mother, to the dining
room. You are more perplexed than
ever! The idea of giving your arm to
a lady whom you respect as your own
mother! You never touched your own
mother-at least not after you became
a man. And how could you now touch
your friends mother? Secondly, what
is the proper thing to do? Are you
to give your right arm or your left arm
to your friends mother? But hardly
have you time to reflect on these things
when you are led away by the mother
into the dining room, followed by all
others. And at the dining table your
perplexities multiply still further. You
are placed to the right of your friend
mother. That is bad enough. But
what is worse, to your right you find
your friends sister," The only set-off
to all this is the shocking taste of your
friends sisters hat. These decorative
vegetables and plants are all very well,
but they had better be grown in the
kitchen garden-not on your friends
sisters head.

Blind People.

So far as the most recent statistics
go, the known proportion of blind peo-
pie is about one in 1900, which would
give a total of one million blind in
the world. The largest proportion is
found in Russia, which has in Eu-
rope 100000 blind in a population Of
96,OO0,0OO, or one in $50. Most of these
are found in the northern provinces of
Finland, and the principal cause is
ophthalmia, due to bad ventilation of
the huts of the peasantry and the in
adequate facilities for treatment There
is a great deal of blindness in Egypt,
due to glowing sand.

The queerest statistician on record is
undoubtedly clerk in the Italian ma
val Office. He is the creator of the
new. science of "spotology." This
genius occupied an important post in
the service for So years, during which
time he made a vast number of ink
spots which fell from his official pen.
But he didn't obliterate them. BY a
painstaking process the Scientist" re-
moved each one from his books, docu-
ments, and things, and pasted them in
an album. These ink-spots served as
the nucleus of strange but interest
ing psychological study. He evolved the
theory that the long-pointed spots
clearly indicated the irritation he was
suffering under at the time he made
them while the round, heavy spots gave
an indication of weighty, bureaucratic
reflections. Frequently the spots re-
sembled all sorts of creeping things,
birds and beasts, of weird and fantas-
tic shape. When his mind was weight
ed down with thought he sometimes
finished off these accidental creations.
producing likenesses of birds, fishes.
and frogs.

Government Ownership OF Canadian
Mines Proposed.


Mines Proposed.
Serious consideration is being given
by the Canadian government officials
to the suggestion that the gold mines
of the Klondike region be operated by
the government. The crown lands in
clude the most fabulously rich part of
the belt. and it is asked why the gov
eminent should not take this gold and
use it for the purpose of reducing the
national debt. The difficulty of reach
ing the gold country, the great ex-
pense of living and the danger OF star
walton constantly threatening the large
population are urged as arguments for
government management. 1t is con-
tended that the mines belong to the
people as a whole, and should be used
for their benefit. and worked as
source of revenue to the dominion
treasury, instead of, as now, allowing
adventures to go and get the gold
and take it from the country.

Forty girls were at work in a high
building in Chicago last month, when
the cry of fire threw them into a panic.
Kate Carney, the superintendent, re-
called them and marshalled them safe
ly into an elevator. There was not
room for her to enter, but she ordered
the elevator boy to descend. She es-
capped by stairways and halls, though
almost overcome at times with flames
and smoke. Kate Carney's name lends
itself to a popular ballad; her act of
unselfish courage to the approval Of
the world.

AMONG TITLED ONES.

China is decidedly waking up. The
new Chinese minister to England is
a good English scholar and his wife
is studying the language and customs
with a view to taking her place in
society. 1t is understood that she will
be presented next year, and that she
and her husband will then be enter
tanned and go into society. 1t is, in
deed, a great change, and no doubt is
due as much as anything to LII Hung
Changes reception at the court Of st.
James.
The Empress Frederick has been SER
iously i'll at Berlin from influenza and
bronchitis and all her majesty's plans
have been changed in consequence OF
her physicians having prescribed sea
air as essential to her speedy recovery.
The empress is, therefore, going to
Kiel, on visit to Princess Henry OF
Prussia, and will stay there for sew
eral weeks. 1t is now probable that
the empress will not go back to her
place near Homburg until she returns
to Germany after her visit to Eng
land.
The emperor and empress of Russia
have abandoned their intended visit
to Copenhagen at Easter. The empress,
who has been seriously ill for several
weeks from measles and bronchial
complications, will not be able to leave
her apartments in the winter palace for
at least fortnight, and then the i'm
perial court will remove from st. Pet
ersburg to Tsarkoe Zelo. 1t is very
likely that the empress will soon go
to Livadia for a few weeks, accom-
panied by her sister, Princess Louise
of Battenberg.
The young duchess of Marlborough
has evinced great judgment and abil-
ity in restoring Blenheim palace to its
former magnificance. Since her resi-
dence at Blenheim all fees taken at the
gates from tourists who visit the pal
ace have been devoted to charity, and
out of her own pocket the duchess de-
vises many schemes for amusing and
benefiting her husbands tenants. In
side the park gates her presence is
quite as emphatically felt as in the
village, for since her coming the park
lake has been dug out, cleared of weeds
and stocked with water fowl and the
garden is in perfect order. Ten years
ago Blenheim palace looked neglected;
now it blossoms again in all the glory
for which it once was famous.

From the Democratic Magazine: The

the seal of approval on the acts of the
Lattimer sheriff License to shoot and
slaughter defenseless, half-starved min
ers issues from court and jury. The
Lattimer shooting was one of the most
heinous tragedies ever enacted in a
civilized country, and was unlike any
other incident that ever grew out of a
labor strike in the United States.

Wheat continues to steadily advance
in price. High grades of cash wheat
at Chicago command from $1.07 to $1.10
and the May option ranges from Sill
to S1.25. In all of the markets of the
country wheat has passed the dollar
mark and nothing but the frantic eff
forts of bear spectators keeps it from
going much higher. Up to the present
time wheat has advanced in spite of
the general depression incident to the
long strain. Never in the
history of the market has there been
such scarcity of wheat abroad ana it
is difficult to see why wheat will not
make new high records before the next
crop is harvested.

The Lodge Bill Again.

Thomas Jefferson said long ago that
Eternal vigilance Is the price of lib
erty." The American people forgot
that admonition years ago when John
Sherman and a few agents of the
money power robbed the people of the
money of the constitution. 1t was
done secretly and in the dark. II the
brave men of that day had realized
what was happening, the business in
terests of our country would not be
crippled as they now are. 1t is IN
fortunate indeed that our sense of duty
had to be awakened by such an awful
condition as now presents itself and
that the lack Of eternal vigilance" cost
us so dearly. We are paying the penal
ty for neglect. Experience is great
teacher, and many years will pass away
before the people can again be caught
mapping. At almost every session of
congress our attention is called to
some traitor in the camp" who offers
a bill which, If enacted, would either
deprive part of the people OF their
God-given liberty or legislate illegal
gain into the pockets of a heartless
few. These onslaughts on the citadel
of American freedom are met by the
force of public opinion, now always on
the alert, and are buried in deep
oblivion. The present congress fur
nishes its link in the chain by Senator
Lodge Offering his immigration bill.
We are glad to know the senator.
We are pleased to locate the traitor
in the camp" and while we still rule
let us brand him and mark him for
ever. Not because he offers legisla-
ton on the question of immigration,
for many of our great statesmen in
recent years have seen the wisdom OF
enacting certain laws governing the
admission and naturalization or for
eigners. But let us mark Senator
Lodge and his associates because he
and they knowingly and deliberately
are conspiring to not only prevent good
men from coming to our shores and en-
toying the liberty conceived by Wash
ington and nurtured by Lincoln, but
they are aiming at the disfranchise-

now here and whose forefathers' blood
offered in war is symbolized in the red
stripe of our glorious flag.
What is the purpose? What is the
object in placing an educational test
upon foreigners who desire to become
american citizens? Only a few years
ago. as late as 1864 congress passed
law for the encouragement of immi-
grafton, and later, in 1872, legislation
of a similar character was attempted.
In earlier days men formed societies
whose objects were to effect as large
an immigration as possible, and these
organizations were not supported by
steamship and railroad lines. Every
body saw the advantage of building up
our country. How weak in comparison
would we be today if the men and wo-
men who have come here in the last
fifty years had never set foot on Amer
lean soil. The history of our country
would lose many of its illustrious
names and the monument of greatness
tuilt by the sturdy manhood of natur-
allied and native Americans would lack
many of its enduring parts. Our fore
fathers had a glad welcome for all who
desired to come. What has brought
about the change in sentiment among
a certain class Of people?
