Under the caption "The Flood of
Immigrants, the ,JerseysCity Jour
nal, one of the most conservative and
influential Republican dailies of the
State remarks:
1.-The House Committee on Rules
has decided tosconsider the Shattuc
bill to regulate immigration, and that
is good thing, because this bill pro-
vides for more stringent rules for the
admission of paupers, imbeciles, NEIL
dlcants, anarchists ard persons suffer
ing from contagious and loathsome
diseases 1t also provides that steam
ship companies shall be liable for the
deportation of all who become public
charges within five years.
The bill could be improved by pro-
viding some test for excluding those
ignorant of any occupation, and those
who are incapable of appreciating
our institutions.

BAR8ARoUs METHODS.

Many of our citizens were startled
yesterday morning at seeing a young
woman in the last stages of consump-
ton driven through the streets in an
open express wagon. The young
woman was laid on a stretcher, wore
no hat and except her ordinary cloth
ing had no covering of any kind over
her. In this condition she was driven
from the depot to so-called sanitar-
ium just west of the Baptist Church
on Washington street.
This institution is conducted as
though tuberculosis was not known
to be contagious disease, it's patients
being allowed to wander freely about
the streets of the town, where they
expectorate at will. If the Board of
Health has the power to regulate
institutions for the care of contagious
disease and to prescribe the terms on
which such patients shall be moved
that power should be exercised at
once.
IT the Board has not the power the
Health Code should be amended i'm
mediately.

THE RESULT.

In view of certain we'll known cir

election is not very surprising. Sever.
al causes contributed materially tC

less to name.
One cause which may be mention
ted is the opinion held by great
many that Mayor Fox, who has filled
office with dignity and efficiency was
treated with scant courtesy in not be-
ing offered a nomination for re-elec-
tion or at the very least having his
administration formally endorsed
at the primaries or the city conven-
tion. Accordingly they resented what
they considered lack of courtesy by
cutting the Republican nominees.
Others cut the ticket because OF
pledges which they imagined DR..
Barker had made to give the offices
of chief engineer and city clerk to
certain parties whom they did not
wish to see in these offices. Though
there was no foundation for this, il
had its effect just the same

the ticket was laboring may be seen

likely to be lost,

New Milford, Conn.,, was visited
by serious confagration on Monday
night. The loss is estimated at $500, :

The Cuban Congress convened ON
Monday night, although it will have
no legislative power until the goth
inst.
In a severe engagement between the
Moros at Bayan on Monday, thirty
four of the former were killed and
nine wounded. Several Americans
were killed and a large number
wounded.
Congress has made an appropriation
of $165, 900 for repairs and general
overhauling of the interior of the
White House. 1t is a we'll known fact
that its sanitary condition has been
wretched for many years.
The Rev. DR.. William T. Paxton,
the professor in Princeton Seminary
for twenty years, presented his resig-
nation on Monday, which was accept
ed. DR.. Paxton is more than seventy
years of age. He was made professor
emeritus.
The most Rev. Michael Augustine
Corrigan, archbishop of New York,
died on Monday night at his resi-
dence in that city from an attack of
pneumonia contracted during the
latter part of April. At the time OF
his death it was supposed that he was
improving.
From present appearances it would
seem that nothing short of a miracle
will prevent strike among the an
thracite coal miners in Pennsylvania,
which will mean the throwing OF
nearly 100, 900 men into idleness, and
force the shutting down of many fac
tories, causing much suffering among
the families of both the miners an6
mechanics, who will be thrown out

Senator Lodge, chairman of the
Philippines Committee in an able
speech in the Senate on Monday re-.
piled to the attacks which had been
made upon the Philippines policy of
the government by the Democrats and
several renegade Republicans, in
which he conclusively showed that
General Chaffee and his assistants
had conducted the war in as humane
manner as it was possible. Referring
to the bill, the Senator said:
1.-THE main object of the bill is to
replace military by civil government,
to advance self government, and its
second great object is to help the de-
velopment of the Philippines. AS to
the Chinese, we have excluded them
from the islands. The testimony is
very clear, to my mind, that the Fill
pinos, if they have the opportunity
to earn good wages and to have them
regularly paid, will be quite capable
of doing all the work needed
The real attack upon the bill has
been directed against the army of the
United States. And why this attack
upon the army? Because it is said
that it has been guilty of cruelty and
torture to natives in the Philippine
islands. All, yes, Mr.. President, but
the army, III the minds of those who
attack it, has been guilty of greater
crime than that. 1t has been guilty
of the crime of success. 1t has been
a victorious army. 1t has put down
the instruction. 1t meets now, as
it met after Appomattox, abuse and
attack, when Grant was called a
butcher"

THE CooKY TREE.

In wonderful wood, far, far away,
There grows big Cooky Tree,
And the happy children who've seen
it say
It's beautiful sight to see!
For from every limb and branch and
twig-
From the ground to its top so tall
Sweet cookies sway in the summer
wind,
Big, middle-sized ones, and small.
There are cookies with caraway seeds
And cookies with raisin, too,
And cookies with nuts and sugar
plums,
All favored with honey dew,
And cookies that look like little men,
Like elephants, dogs or mice
But every kind of cooky that grows
On this tree is sweet and nice

A PARTY ORGAN.

The Morristown "Jerseyman" has
peculiar ideas about the newspaper
business. 1t says:
I'm regard to political candidates, a
party organ. while in a general way
advocating its principles and urging the
nomination of good and capable men,
would be violating confidence if it
doomed any particular candidate before
nominations were made to the exclusion
of others equally deserving"
A party organ is generally under
stood to be newspaper that advocates
the policy and principles of a party. If
the "Jerseyman" understands something
more than that, then its position may be
all right; but that is not the proper
position for elf-respecting newspaper.
A newspaper should support that
which it believes to be right The fact
that small group of politicians can
meet in any out-oi-the- corner and
decide to do something or to select can
didates for party or local branch OF a
party does not give them power to con-
troll newspaper.
If party workers want party news
papers support they should do those
things and select such candidates as will
command support If they do not they
should not get it, and the standing of a
party newspaper is not injured particle
by its refusal to indorse Tor support
actions or nominations which do not
merit its support.
The action of party workers is fire.
quently. almost generally. shaped by the
party newspapers before candidates are
nominated. After the nomination it is
too late to express opinions to influence
party action.
A party newspaper does not lose by
having pronounced views and present
ing them; on the contrary it gains
strength.
1t is better to be defeated as the sup
porter of good candidate than to con-
sent to take the dictation of local bosses.

The death of Rear Admiral Samp-
son which occurred at his home in
Washington on Monday removes one
of our most resourceful and capable
naval commanders.
He was in command of the feet
when Cervera's ships were blockaded
off Santiago and it was his plan OF
action upon which the great battle
was fought which resulted in the de.
struction of the Spanish feet.
Doubtless the last days of the hero
of Santiago were clouded by the
knowledge that enemies and over
Jealous friends of other officers had
sought by means far from honorable
to cast odium upon him. History
will show, however, that William T.
Sapmson is entitled to take rank
among the great heroes of the United
