Mr. Taylor, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. is right in the opinion he ex-
presses that our immigration laws should
be amended in way to shut out the
hordes Of undesirable immigrants who are
swarming into the United States from
Hungary. Greece, Italy, Turkey, and Ara
bia. They form a dangerous and unruly
class in the cities where they remain per-
manently. Their presence in large num-
bers is danger to the future of the Anglo
Saxon race on this continent. II it was
right and proper for us to stop the Mongo.
lian immigration, it could be no less SO for
Congress to place a check upon a kind

of Havana. instead Of Manila, where Jus
tice is properly blind and kind to the little

A Prospective Neces.ity.
From the Philadelphia Record,

There is an unpleasant suggestion OF perpetual
warfare with guerrillas and bandits in the re-
ports Of Federal pil9sry operations on the
Island Of Panay, which operations have been only
recently begun in earlkSt. In addition to the
swarms Of bandit. cwPs iniest the island. and
with whom hrigandsge u an inherited trade. our
troops must deal WITH Revolutionary party which
operates under instructions from Axuinaido and
his supporters on Luson Island. An Organized

duced to submission; but repeated forsys against
banditti and outlaws only result in the making

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Dec. 27.-Further

an adobe house, were basket weavers and
almost the last Of their tribe.

earthquake. The peak is an extinct volca-
10, and has been the centre Of earthquake
disturbances before.

| The county Republican committee has
been called together to discuss the advis-
ability of recommending giving the office
of county clerk to W. Roland Warrick; or,
perhaps, to put it more correctly, to dis
cuss whether the committee shall recon
mend to the party that it nominate Mr..
Warrick. This may be all right, but in
our judgment is not well-advised move.
As matter of fact this is matter in
which the county committee has no bust
ness to NEEDLE, and where it will be like
" to do more harm than good. If Mr.
Warrick is to be continued as his fathers
successor, as there appears to be reason to
believe at present, the gift will come from
the people, who are perfectly capable of
acting on their own ideas and do not need
help from any committee. To make sug-
gestions to the voters who have the priv
ilege of selecting delegates to represent
them will SAVIOR too much of dictation.
The time has not yet arrived for edicts to
be sent out in advance for the guidance
of those whose privilege it is to go to the
primaries and elect delegates to carry out
their ideas in convention. Let the people
alone. They are able to do their own
thinking.
