POLITICAL COMMENT.

| In connection with the discussion of the
| adVisability Of checking more severely
undesirable immigration from the Old
| World, the fact that several officials
have been guilty of smuggling immigrants

Whatever else may be said of the strike,

Philadelphia Times.
Neither in Philadelphia nor in any other
portion of the country do the people need

1t is conceded by all that Secretary Hay
is in earnest in his efforts for consular
Improvement and he will do all in his
power to secure the proposed reform. but
We can scarcely hope of success unless
we secure the good will of the Admins
tration; that is, of the President and his
Cabinet AS long as they favor the ap-
pointment of broken-down politicians to
office Mr.. Hay will find it impossible to
fill the consulships with competent men,

The Indifference OF the people who pay
the taxes to the character OF the men who
spend their money is one of the things
that have always been a puzzle There
are few communities in this country

ing that the taxpayers are entitled to
no better government than they deserve

petent men to office it is no more than
proper that they should foot the bills

Those fdgety conservatives who lie
awake nights for fear the bulwarks of
our nation are being insidiously as well
as openly undermined, are quite aghast
just now because there is a determined
sentiment in the direction of putting new
safeguards about the life of the Presi-
dent. They fail to appreciate the fact
that new times and new men bring new
manners and new measures There were
no anarchists in the days of Jefferson

A majority of the people of the United
States believe that Rear Admiral Schley
has been made the victim of a petty and
contemplate conspiracy whereby he was
to be robbed of the honors that justly be-
long to him the real hero of the San
uago engagement. How far Admiral
Sampson is involved in this conspiracy
only the most rigid enquiry will reveal
The desire of the public is not so much
that Sampson shall be injured as that
Schley shall be vindicated and the sys-
tematic hostility against MIN in the Navy
Department exposed and broken up
