IMMIGRATIoN for the fiscal year
just ended passed all previous rec
ords nearly a million aliens having
come to the United States, most
of them being the lowest class Of
labor from the most undesirable

American manufacturer must be
protected from all possible compe-

man can expect no protection

politician is one nore sample of the statesmanship of the man New York dis honors itself with in the United States Senate. Of course, Platt paid no atten- for the office. Plimley needed job. was q good Republican, -latt wanted him to have it--and that was enough.
 We submit that this Is worse than no defense at all. MT Roosevelt knows both Platt and Quigg IS well as any man in the country knows them. Plimley is a creature of Quigg, Quigg is creature of Platt and Platt is no better than either of them. Roosevelt knew these facts The office to be filled was an important one and the occupant should be a man of good character. Yet we are asked to believe that the President with a full knowledge of the parties, made the ap- pointnent because such men as Platt and Quigg wanted 1t made
 As we said, this Is worse than no de- fense at all If New York "dishonors It. self by having Platt in the Senate, as The Journal charges, does the President honor himself'or his office by giving an important position to one of that Sena- tors tools? What sort of an argument is 1t which shifts the responsibility from its proper place and puts it on the shoulders of others? The President who made the appointment and the Senators who confirmed 1t are the ones who should bear the blame, not the tools.

A WEAK EXPLANATION.

The Minneapolis Journal attempts to defend the Presidents action in the Plim- ley case. and we give its defense in full. Under the heading. New York States msnship.' 1t says;
 The facts regarding the sensational withdrawal of the appointment of Major William Pimley to he Assistant Treasurer at New York \are coming out 1t Is an old story to the informed in New York but it Is new to the provinces. Plim- ley Is Platt and Quigg hanger-on. pro fessionally down on his luck and with a n1alodorous record In office. He was suggested to President Roosevelt by Sem ator Platt, after two or three good men had declined the appointment. The Pres ident seems to have taken the suggestion ''unsight and unseen" and the Senate also. But at the last moment, after Plim- ley's commission had been signed, though not forwarded to him. the Senate Com mittee on Appointments found out Plim- leys record. with the result that the ap- pointment was withdrawn and that of Hamilton Fish substituted This att tempt to 1ll one of the most responsible offices in the United States with a hack

Tax Values and Escaped Taxes.

Tax Values and Escaped Taxes.
 Birmingham. March 26, 1903. Editor of The Advertiser:
 was very much interested in an edi- torial in your issue of the Fist instant, entitled "Dodging Their Taxes" but could not escape the reflection that you had gone far and away to find illustra- tions when we have so many, and such glaring instances under our own noses at home.
 I attempted once during the recent ses- sion of the Legislature to call attention to some concrete cases which might tend to enlighten the Back Tax Commissioner, If 1t did not bring about a much-needed reform in the tax system of this State but neither the Committee on Ways and Means. nor the political leaders wanted to hear the facts, and so, under the rules of parliamentary law, 1t was held that what 1 tried to say was not ger collection of revenue, and so I was per- force compelled to take my seat.
 Your instance from The Detroit Free Press the case of newspaper assessed Tor $l,0OO where a half interest after wards sold for $2,600. That was bad enough. but you know the public and even the tax assessors are excusable in a measure for making some allowance to the press. Now let me tell you of some actual cases in Jefferson County, and l Know you have some just as bad in Mont gomery, and let me ask you in all candor If you don't think Governor Johnston's Back Tax Commission idea has on these facts been demonstrated a failure?
 do not give the names of the com panieS l refer to now, but will on re- quest. with abstracts from the tax list
 One company with $l,O0O,00O preferred and A, 100000 common stock, which, I am informed, was sworn on a trial to be of the value of $1S0 a share, or $500, GOO, pays taxes on total valuation of S22O,- 900.
 Another company with $6,OO00OO of ponds worth above par, N 500, 600 of pre- ferred stock. and $350O,OOO of common stock. whose stock is worth par on an average, which owns a practical monop- oly and earns quite N 00000O a year, pays taxes on total valuation of $S75, 900.
 These companies don't dodge. but they now, you can't make them pay. I could give others, but these will suffice for my purpose.
 It must not be assumed that I am in tavor or unduly taxing the corporations. because such is not the case, and I only give these glaring cases to show how Tar tEis lodging can go under our own system, and to suggest that we might well bear in mind the Scriptural injunc- ton about the mote in our brothers eve. and pay some attention to the beam in our own.
 It may not be amiss in this connection. and especially so In view of the Gov. ernor's fears of deficiency, and the kaliure or the revenue bill to provide Tor It. to call attention to the fact that sections 229 and 232 of the Constitution make 1t mandatory on the Legislature to levy franchise tax on both domestic and foreign corporations, so that the Legisla ture when 1t reassembles may take the matter up and by this means afford at least enough revenue 10 meet our necessities.

KEEP THEM AT HoME.~
Canadian Criminals, Banished by a Court, Come to This Country.


 Detroit Free Press
 Some of the Canadian justice, for much of which great deal of good is to be said, Is being administered in a way to which this country. and especially Detroit en- ters a decided exception There has been an occasional evidence of this for some time. but ''red-handed' instance has just been supplied Three young men in convicted of house breaking. The proper place for them was in jail, but Judge Macdonald. before whom their trial was had, sentenced them to banishment. They attempted to carry out the sentence by crossing on the ferry to the American side, but were intercepted by United States officials and taken back. This would have disposed of the immediate case had not the burglars promptly found rowboat and crossed, becoming resi- dents of this side.
 There seems to be some sort of sanc- ton for this sort of thing in English law for it Is significant fact that on the very day that the Brockville case became public news. a burglar was liberated from the old Bailey in London, on condition that he would betake himself at once to Canada. Our neighbors are up in arms over the outrage put upon them and their countrymen in London have filed a fended against us now know how it is themselves. They can save money ani trouble by banishing convicted priminals to us but we will not stand for it. A treaty or other form of agreement should dispose of the sided question without delay. Detroit would be a favorite har- bor for foul birds of passage, and she can a:ord no such additions to her pop ulation. Canada has given us good many joints on retaliatory legislation, and if ever forced to resort to it in mat ter like this. we could flood her with enough criminals to control the elections. But her own good sense and conception of justice will undoubtedly move to a cor rection of the banishment scheme.

 At the beginning of the winter season The Tailor and Cutter recorded the fact that gentlemen were paying attention to the shape of their waists and stated that while some tailors were padding the hips Of the garments they made, others were making their garments very close fitting at the waist. This journal now adds: "A walk round the West End today will con vince the most skeptical of the satirists who hurled their shafts of ridicuIe at the fashion few months ago that they have wasted their energies, and they will do well to learn that fashions follies never nave been, nor ever will he, cured by these invectives.

ABOUT CANDIDATES.

The portsmouth, @) Star, mas de- eloe-ly forcible way of saying things, as :--is, fer example:
 N.th two fool Presidential campaigns l. '.s ereult, the nomination of MT. Cleve- | --l l-r a third term would complete, L.. Ou, and round out the attack of po- L.ice,. deilridm tremens under which the | e-Ii~c.atic Party has been laborlng for t4e past eight years. The Star always l. ; ana su!i regards MT. Cleveland as t--c g. g4eatest living exponent of real De- L-e-dcE. 't shares that opinion of this 1t. Lemocrat and great man with the i .Jtf.ty of the American voters, or t,,.,e have the latter placed MT. Cleve- land in the Presidential chair. But t-.-.l enougn.
 Well. let us admit that that's enough" bat vie are not forced to admit that the nomination of MT. Cleveland for a third term woIld be another Presidential fool cImraiga." It might be unwise and in eXpedient, certainly. We are not boom- lnS cr boosting Mir. Cleveland, and do not think he mas any expectation of be- ing nominated, but his kind will be. The Etar adds
 While there may be but one Cleveland ln the Democratic Party, there are good seccnds not few. Any one of these latter. II placed before the country on Democratic platform, could in all prob aaiitty he elected. The same cannot be Eaid of MT. Cleveland. despite his su- per5 record and his acknowledged pow CTS. Even the Republicans declined to nominate General Grant for a third term.
 Well, good Democrats throughout the land will be glad to see one of those good seconds nominated on a Demo- cratic platform. We have strong pre- sentiment that such venture would be successful There IS much speculation going on among the newspapers over the man. He has not yet been named, per haps. Let us hope that when he Is found he will fill all the requirements. We believe the South is ready for such man. As The Chattanooga Times says: 'Democrats down this way are ready to forget the past differences and to get to- gether on a good old-fashioned Tilden platform and support a good old-fash- ioned Tilden Democrat for President. We can't conceive of a better harmony prop Dsition than that"
 That is correct. That Is the kind of harmony to win and none other stands a show. His name is not important but his Democracy must be beyond suspicion and his availability and fitness must be ap- parent. Can The Star name him?

NOT UP TO THE ADVERTISER.

Report of ,tate tax values in Alabama show surprises. says The Advertiser, ana then fairly takes our breath away with this statement; Money invested in bonds amounts to a total of $2,326, ,259. This IS bonds not exempt from taxation. Chiffon is first with q. .06S, ,367."
 If 1t was only true we would be delighted to know 1t; as it Is we are obliged to confess that either The Advertiser or the State Auditor is a long way out in their reckoning. If Chiffon has over $lO00, 900 invested in bonds all that we have to say is. well done Chiffon. Our people gener- ally are greatly averse to the issuance of nonds, l. e., if they have to meet them. but that is no reason why they should not put their spare money into them, wn nen other people have to foot the bills and pay the interest It Is up to The Advertiser and State Auditor to give fur their particulars, or the least they can do is to pay the interest on that million odd We are wondering which is the greatest statisticlan-The Advertiser man or the State Auditor. Further particulars are anxiously looked for.
 It is not up to The Advertiser, for we printed the figures just as they appear in the Auditors report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1902. Look on page 3So of that report and satisfy yourself that no mistake was made in this office, If there Is a mistake at all.
