A COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION.

Carlos Longs proposal Of a salarleo
Commissioner of immigration, strikes
this paper as being a sound one which
the Legislature would make mistake
not to adopt.
IL We are going to have useful eHort
to get immigration it must be sys-
tematic and intelligent Somebody
must be specifically charged with the
work. for what is everybody's business
is nobody's business.
IT is the right idea to have immlsra-
tion of any kind in charge of the Gov
ernment: for the latter can do what, in
the case of private individuals, the law
would not permit.
Tba limited States statutes governing
immigration recognize the right of the
commonwealth to seek immigrants.
realizing that each State or Territory
knows what il can assimilate and care
for in the way of alien population.
This knowledge. this prerogative can
not be delegated to a private indiVld-
nal and therefore the immigration and
contract labor laws strictly prohibit
the making of overtures to any alien by
a citizen. Coming from an officer OF
tha government the solicitation is per-
Missile; from a citizen reprehensible.

FACTIONS GET TOGETHER.
Warning Delaware Republicans Agree

A dispatch from Dover, Del, yesterday
says: The Triangular fight over the election
of two United States Senators from Della

capitol when the snerlk Rejected members of
the legislature assembled to- caucus for the
organization Of the two branches
The twenty-one democrsts came to an
early understanding and nominated a list
Of officers, but the thirty-one republicans
had much difficulty in reaching an under
standing. The twenty-one union republic
ans pledged to the support Of JOHN Edward
Addicks for both terms until elected to the
Senate. started a caucus to which they in
vited all the republican members.
The ten regular republicans. who stand
out against the election Of Addicks. even to
deadlocking the joint session. refused to en-
ter into the conference in the afternoon
and spent all the early evening debating the
proposition Some of the ten wanted to meet
the unions for the purpose of discussing or
ganiZation plans only. but others stood out
alliance with the Addicks men, whom they
declared had been chosen through irregular
elections.
The two republican factions did not give
in to each other until late tonight, when
the Addicks assemblymen gave the regulars
an equal share of the legislative offices and
the first choice. which will be the president
pro tenn. Of the senate. The speaker of the
house next in line will be an Addicks man.
The democrats caucused early and nomi-
mated Chauncey P. Holcomb of Newcastle
for speaker of the house, and Senator
Charles Wright of Seaford for president
pro TEN. of the senate. An advisory commit
tee was appointed, and this committee of
fered the support Of democratic assembly

HUGE CROP OF TOMATOES.
Twice as Many Millions of Cases Cam
ned This Year as Last.
From the New York Sun

ned This Year as Last.
From the New York Sun.
Such a demand for canned tomatoes has
arisen that more than double the quantity
put up last year has been packed in the
last few months. There have been canned
for consumption between now and next
summer 0, 40, S12 cases Of tomatoes or more
than 2O0,OOO,OO0 tins. case containing two
dozen tins Of tomatoes. Last year the
packers only put up 4,51S,221 cases.
The American Grocer, which has been col
lecting figures on this enormous tomato
pack, attributes 1t in part to the fact that
in the three preceding years the amount or
tomatoes put up was short of the require
ments. The result was that, for the first
time in quarter Of century or more
stocks were completely exhausted. leaving
the market in Canada as well as in the
United States SO bare that it forced an
early start this year on the pack, which
went into consumption as fast as it was
available.
This put a premium on canned tomatoes.
Every factory has been worked to its max
imum capacity and in spite of an irregular
crop-New York's. owing to the wet
weather, being almost total failure-the
production is beyond the usual require
ments, and there is hope of saving
small supply for next year in case the crop
should be poor.
MARYLAND has canned the most tomatoes
putting up 4,514, $50 cases. against million
and three-quarters last year. Nebraska
was the least productive state. 1t has sup
piled only 1852 cases.
Authorities on the tomato market say
that the unusual high purchasing power
of the people. due to the general prosperity.
has created an enormous demand for pre-
pared foods, and in spite of the higher cost
of tomatoes, the demand is urgent and in
cessant. So, in spite of the increased pro-
duction it is not likely that canned toma-
toes will be any cheaper than usual.

BEING A "GooD FELLOW"
Writer Declares It is Losing Game
in the End.

in the End.
From the Toledo Bee.
Any sensible young man ought to know
that he can't be up late nights abusing his
stomach and be in full possession of his
faculties for business the next day. And
he ought to know, also, that man must
be clear-headed and in full possession OF
his faculties to hold his own in the keen
competition of life. Your good fellow is
popular for the time being, but when his
money is gone and he has lost his job and
is on his uppers the good fellow" business
doesn't get him anything. It's poor fell
low then. Another good man gone wrong
and ''the boys are ready to hail another
good fellow" who has the price.
We don't mean by this to say that 1.-THE
gether pass up good fellow when he
goes broke, but it isn't the same They
say he hit up the booze too hard and
couldn't stand the pace. They feel sorry
for him, but he is out Of it. His good
fellowship doesn't excuse him even in the
eyes of his friends for having thrown away
his opportunity.
The young man who gets the sleep his
system needs, is temperate in his habits,
lives within his means and shows up for
work in the morning with a clear eye and
active brain-that'S the man business men
are looking for. They want employees
WuOm luey can trust. having WOTkeu
hard and laid by a competence, they want
to throw some OF the burdens Off, and
they won't throw them off on the employe
who is too much of good fellow"
Cut 1t out, boys. There's nothing In 1t.
There's a whole lot of nonsense in that
good fellow" business You can't fool the
public very long by living beyond your
means and keeping up appearances. There
must be a showdown some time or other.
and that means a loss of self-respect and
many bitter experiences. All men will
think more of you If you hold yourself in
and don't try to live wine existence on
beer income.
Many a bright and promising business
man has failed because he tried to travel
in too swift class. Whereas had he lived
within his means he might have become a
highly successful merchant.
The world doesn't give up its treasures
easily. 1t isn't in the cards for all Of us
to be millionaires, and mighty few of the
good fellows" get into that class. It's
better to earn your way first and go hunt
ing for good times when you have reached
the point where you can spare both the
time and the money. Then, possibly, you'll
have more sense and have a different
ton about what a good time is.

FATAL.
He Had a Long and Distinguished
Career in the Service Of
Spain.

A dispatch from Madrid yesterday says:
Ex-Premier Sagasta died at $50 o'clock
this evening.
Senior Sagastas family was at his bed
side. and former liberal members of the
cabinet were near their old leader. A
bishop was called to Senior Sagasta's home
this afternoon. and administered the last
sacrament.
The news of Senior Sagastas death Great
ed a painful impression throughout Madrid.
King Alfonso displayed profound regret
when he heard of the former premier s
death. His majesty had desired to visit the
aged statesman in his illness. but was told
that to do so would be contrary to etiquette.
Sketch of His Career.
Praxedes Mateo Sagasta was born in 1877.
He was educated at the College Of En-
gineers at Logrono, his native place. He
was an engineer by profession, and was
elected from Zamora in 1854 to the constit-
uent cortes. He took part in the insurrec-
ton of 1856 and eventually sought refuge in
France. When amnesty was proclaimed
Senior Sagasta returned to Spain and be-
came a professor in the School Of Engineers
in Madrid.
His bold proclamation of liberal principles
brought him under the ban of the deSpotic
ministers of Isabella II. He occupied a

Col. Myron T. Herrick, when asked by a
representative Of the Associated Press to-

publican gubernatorial nomination. said:

The Price of Oil,
tor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
read with no little surprise the TRADE Of
Mr.. F. A. Cogswell and w. J. Morris
against the oil trade In general and the
Standard Oil Company in particular, which
appeared in recent issue of The Star. AS
these gentlemen have no doubt been misin-
formed and desire light on the question, L
will give you a few facts which I hope will
appease their righteous Indignation In the
first place if these gentlemen who complain
SO bitterly use oil at all. they must certain
ly know that owing to keen competition in
the oil business in this city they have for
the past two years been paying on the aver
age of cents per gallon less for their oil
and gasoline than have the people of Balti
more. and, in fact, all points surrounding

wholesale price on oil to the storekeepers i'll

would call for a wholesale price on oil de-
livered- from tank wagon of 1O1a cents in
this city, while the Wholesale price at the
present time is only cents, which is the
highest price thendealers of this city have
paid for oil for the past two years. The
above figures arei based on the price ruling

or distributing plants7fn that city We do
not buy our oils in Baltimore, but direct
from the oil regions and from independent
refineries Therefore, to substantiate our
statement, and to shnw that the two seL-
tlemen and the trade IN general in this city
have not been and are not at the present
time being robbed by the oil dealers in this
city, we will give them the price we pay for
$50 fire-test oil at the present time, which
is 71a cents per gallon cars at the re-
fineres; the freight rate from the regions
to Washington is IA cents per gallon; this
gives us a cost price of Ss4 cents per gallon
for our oil in tank cars on siding. This
Oil has to be pumped into our storage tanks
and again pumped from the storage tanks
into the tank wagons and distributed to the
trade For all this work We are making a
gross profit of u cent per gallon on oils
delivered from the tank wagon. These
facts are open for inspection to any one
who desires to verify them. Should the
wholesale price of oil be advanced in this
city to 1O1s cents per gallon the trade would
not be robbed and would not be pa ying any
more for their oil than their neighbors, and
no more than 1t Is worth.
