Features of Immigration.

It IS estimated that nearly half a
million people have come Into this
country during the present year, seek
ing q permanent abiding place. The
details of this peaceful invasion OF for
eigners during the ten months ending
with October, gathered by the Imn1l-
grafton bureau. and published by the
bureau OF statistics, indicate that the
immigration for the calendar year will
reach about 100000. OF this number
more than 100000 comes from Austria
Hungary. another 100000 from Italy,
and nearly another 100000 from Russia;
while the United Kingdom furnishes
more than $1,000, OF which number 49,
900 are from Ireland. OF the 400. 900
Immigrants, fully 100000 come from
Europe, while but about 1000. or less
thnn 1per cent. come from the tropics.

Vote To-day.

Il Is the privilege OF the Republican
party Of this city to-day to select nom.
inees for the city Offices and members
OF council to be voted for who will be
successful at the polls on the fourth
Thursday Of next January. There is
plenty OF good material from which to
choose a ticket that will be as emil
nent In ability and morale as that Sc
lected by the local Democracy week
ago. While the endorsement of the
Committee Of One Hundred" Is not
final in any instance. that organization
has made some very popular sugges-
tons rs to who are best fitted to serve
the interests Of the city. II there Is a
full and free expression OF the senti-
ments OF the Republican voters to-day
It will do much towards strengthening
the nominees. Don't neglect that duty
to-day and complain afterwards.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING. DECEMBER ee, 1900.
EE1-President Harrison's Views.

( Some days ago ex-President Harrison
was pleased to differ with the present
administration with regard to its ideas
of the application Of the constitution: to
the government Of the Philippines, and
Porto Rico. The remarks he made in
his address. contending that the con-
stitution followed the flag under all
circumstances, do not tally with some
OF his earlier announcements on the
subject, and It has led the Cincinnati
Times-Star to resurrect his recommen-
dations to the senate in 1898 accom-
panylng the treaty between the United
States and the provisional government
OF the Hawaiian islands. In his mess
age to the senate on that occasion he.
asked for the ratification OF the meas
ure. and article III Of that treaty reads
as yfollows:l~.
Congress shall, within one year.
from the exchange of the notifications
OF this treaty, enact the necessary leg
islation to extend to the Hawaiian ISL
ands the laws OF the Unlted States re-
spectins duties on imports, the internal
revenue, commerce and navigation; but
until Congress shall otherwise provide,
the existing commercial relations of the
Hawaiian islands with the United
States and foreign countries shall con-
tinue as regards the commerce OF said
islands with the rest OF the United
States and with foreign. countries"
OF course Mr.. Harrison has right
to change his mind, but. MS the Times
Star points out. there lisa distinct pro-
vision in a treaty accepted by Mr.. Har-
rison and recommended by him for rat
ification that a separate tariff shall ex-
list between the Hawaiian islands. after
they become q part OF the United
States, and the rest the United
States. 1t is practical Endorsement
of the policy which has since been pur-
sued by Republican administration. It
ia true that the circumstances involved
are slightly different, but 1t is equally
true that the principle involved is not
In the least affected by this fact. ills
certainly far from pleasing to find Mr..
Harrison condemning In 1900 what he
recommended as necessary to the SEN
ate but seven years ago"
: Mr. Harrison has been gracious
enough to admit that many able law
yers differ with him as to his views in
regard to the application OF the consti-
tuition to our newly acquired territory,
and we believe the supreme court will
have the same distinguished honor.

go back to the time when you first
read that poem, when you first felt the
Joys of the waking hours on Christmas
moruing. and think. well Of the move
ment OF certain iconoclasts who would
destroy tho myth os happy childhood
Santa Claus. What In this world is to
be gained by It? 1t is n simple faith,
and all too soon the child that grows
to mans estate learns to doubt. Moth
ing IS more precious to old age than the
memory OF the expectancy and reali-
cation OF Santa Claus bounties on
Christmas morning. Old age can smile
over the harmless deception. but the
recollections Of the days OF youthful
credulity and confidence are the sweet
est that can ever be recalled.
The most touching defense Of the
myth Of our youth is found in the Phil
adelphia Press. which paper takes up
the 1cudgels for Santa Claus in the fol-
lowing manner: There is a Santa Claus
What matter the name that is given
to the universal benevolence that Sc
lects the season Of ChrIst's birth for
making happy the young and old with
gifts, and proofs OF tender affection?
He comes once year at least, and may
he never fall. Children know there Is
Santa Claus and their delight in
Christmas is heightened by the knowl-,
edge that good old Santa is thinking
OF and providing for them, and they
arise early on Christmas morning in
full confidence that heGhas not for
gotten them. IA ~.
Later they discover. that Santa
Claus is only another name for parental
love and tender affection, but the
knowledge usually comes gradually, and
in any case 1t gives no shock and
causes no pain to learn that the good
things of Christmas come from the
same source that provides for the rest
Of the year. No child thinks less OF It's
father and mother on learning that
they are the real Santa Claus. Nor is
their faith in their parents shaken by
this proof Of thei- thoughtfulness and
loving kindness"
There Is NOT exactly moral to this.
but there is q practical application. Let
everyone who can afford 1t do his and
her best to preserve this tender fable
Of childhood by 4 dispensation Of gifts
and loving remembrances. There are
only 4 few days left. Improve the op-
portunity, remembering that It is
more blessed to give than to receive"

\ "a CONSTITUTIONAL Convention. !.

OF all the citys departments, including
public works, water, gas and electric
light. Al
"A Constitutional Convention.
There is some talk, too, of putting
through the legislation necessary for
bringing into being constitutional
convention. 1T is argued that the con-
.stitutlon Isl out OF date, that It was
adopted over thirty years ago and was
even Anticipated when passed. Il In at
least one respect It Is argued there
should be a Change: the salaries OF the
supreme court Judges should J, be In
creased and there should be fifth
Judge SO that q deadlock In the court
would be impossible. 1t Is also advo-
Gated that there should be q larger
number Of judicial districts: when the
present districts were formed the state
had not one third OF Its present popu-
lat!on, and there Is even greater dis
proportion In the amount of legal busi-
ness done. It is proposed In connection
with this Increase In the number OF ju-
dicialg districts to do away with the
criminal courts established in q few OF
the counties.
1t Is also whispered that there will be
a campaign against the corporations to
compel them to pay more Of taxes into
the state treasury than they are now
paying-especiaily express. telegraph,
telephone and railroad corporations. 1t
Is claimed that these corporations now
escape their Just proportion Of !, the
taxes by a technicality of the law.
Another bill that Will be proposed by
Mr.. Smith 10 the re-ennctment iof the,
Cat y, H. A..k 80
in 1897. empowering Judges of the Cir
cult court to remove from office Jus
tees of the peace who arc shown to,
be unfit for the otiloe. Mr.. Smiths
Justices Bill was constitutional while the
repeal re-enacted a measure declared
by the. supreme court.
4 These nre only fow Of the proposed
acts of legislation upon which the In
coming legislature will be called to set
Its stamp Of approval or disapproval.
There are others"-many Of them.

Some Of this proposed Legislation az
fects Ohio county for instance the bill
Delegate S. G. Smith is said to have.
decided to introduce. doing away with
the county board Of commissioners and
substituting for It the county court Of
three members such as Ia provided for
In the other counties Of the state, these
members to be elected from the county
at large without regard 10 districts. One
OF the main purposes Of the bill Is to
pave the way for reduction In the
number Of maglsterial districts from
ten to five and so reduce the number of
justices Of peace to five. Mr.. Smith
said yesterday that If the county board
would agree to reduce the number of
maglsterial districts to five. he would
provide in his bill for the retention of
the board of commissioners with
membership Of FIVE. This would mean
considerable annual saving OF expense
to the county, without the least Grip,

Smith.
Other Important Legislation.
Mr.. Smith will Introduce an amend
ment to the mechanics lien law, ex-
tending the time in which q lien may be
acquired by mechanic. tl d
From other sources 1t Is learned that
other members Of the Legislature Will
