immigration inspectors at the port
of New York are exercising greater
degree Of viligance now than formerly
as the result Of the general demand
for the exclusion Of anarchists. While
Commissioner Fitchie admits that I'm.
der existing laws he has no authority
to exclude immigrants on the ground
that they are anarchists, the inspect
ors are very careful in the viewing Of
all papers where there is any reason to
suppose that the new conner is not al
ready properly naturalized citizen
or is in any way seeking entrance con.
trary to the laws that do govern the
cases. 1t is to be hoped that laws
will soon be enacted which will close
every port to immigrants SO undesir-
able as are all anarcL lists.

How the Oak Will Grow.

There are trees which would seem to
substantiate the theory Of some sci
entists that there is no reason. why a
tree should ever die unless destroyed
by unfavorable conditions or accident.
The oak, for example, will live as
sapling for ages until given opportu-
nifty for growth. There is an old say
ing to the effect that If pine forest is
cut down an oak forest will grow.
and this Is said to be literally true.
Many of the acorns carried into the
pine woods by birds and squirrels are
left to sprout in the ground. AS the
tiny saplings grow browsing natives
of the forest shades nibble off their
tender leaves. Again and again new
leaves are put forth. only to serve as
food for hungry deer or moose or 9TH
err marauding creatures. And so. hid
den from sunlight. deprived. as it
would appear. OF every essential Of
life. the little plants live on. and when
at last the pines are felled and the SUM-
light reaches them they begin their era
Of growth.

A COTTON PLANT.
The Story Of one shown On the Ne"
York Exchange.

The Story Of OAe shown On sAs ~"
Yosk Exchange.
There is a story still told to vis'tors
TO the New York Cotton Exchange
which always amuses Its tellers qu''e
as much as its hearers. 1t concerns q
very superb specimen OF the cotton
plant which was brought into the ex'
change one October morning years ago
and placed In the center OF the PIT
around which gather every day the
men who buy and sell millions OF Dales
of the white staple every month.
There had been bad weather In Tex
as that season, with reports OF irrep-
arabic damage to the crop. but this
superb plant laden with hollis through
out its six feet of height and coming,
as it did, from Waco. In the most I'M
portant cotton section Of the Lone Star
State, was exhibited as conclusive
proof that the stories Of ruined crop
were certainly false. All New Yorks
big cotton operators came to look at
it and to admire it, and most OF them
remained to sell few thousand bales.
"If that is what Waco can produce"
they said, 1.-The Texas crop alone Will
be big enough to put cotton down a
cent or two per pound
Late in the day. however, there
strolled into the exchange shrewd
old farmer from one of the cotton
states east of the Mississippi. He had
heard of six foot cotton plants from
Texas. and he wanted TO see one. A
single look at this specimen was sufl-
cient.
"Humbug." he said. THAT plant Is
made of wax, and 1t grew In South
Fifth avenue"
And so it proved. The hoax had
demonstrated what its authors assert
ed. that very few people In New York.
even among cotton brokers. would
know cotton plant If they saw one.-

NEWSPAPERS LIED.

President Shaffer of the Amalgama.
ted Association utters heart-rending
wall over the failure Of the steel
strike, blaming everybody but him
self, and particularly the newspapers.
He says: "Our strike advanced, and
we were confident OF winning until
the newspapers deliberately and ma
liciously published statements which
were replete with lies. Our people
began to doubt aud upbraid; some
who had been officials deserted US, and
afterwards accepted the terms OF the
trust and scabbed. We knew that our
cause would be lost, but proceeded,
feeling sure we could win If support
could be secured for the faithful
strikers.
"rhe American Federation gave US
not one cent. The report that fnan.
cial help came from the national
,dge of the mine workers, is absol-
utely false-we received nothing.
"Perceiving that lack Of money,
loss Of public approval, desertion by
hundreds Of our own people and neg
lect by other organizations would rem
d it impossible to gain decisive
victory, we enc eavoted to save what
we could. l arranged for Mr.. Com
pers OF the A. F. Of L., to meet Mr..
Morgan to effect a settlement. Mr..
Morgan gave up his vacation, went to
New York and waited for Mr.. Com
pers who failed to appear, nor has he
since explained why he neglected QUE
interests"
Mr.. Shaffer says he is willing to re.
sign if the members think he is ineffi.
cient and incapable. Perhaps it would
be the best thing he could do.
