AS TO IMMIGRATION.
A Campaigns Issue that Is WORTHY Of
tho Yotsr's Attention.

They are coming. the less fortunate.
coming to this American continent to
secure a better life for themselves than
they have in their own land. They arc
coming from the less prosperous parts Of
Italy, and from Bohemia and from Hun
gary and from Poland, and throughout
all that wide northern S.avic region
wherein is oppression of the Jews. In
other words, they are coming from every
where! From Europe the most oppressed
and, in some cases, most unintelhgent
classes are coming here to find better
conditions for themselves and meanwhile
to necessarily infuse a new element Of
blood here as well us n new element Of
thought and religion and general drift
Of being. We accept them and their
blood and the infusion of their genera
tons for the future. We accept them, in
the broadcast sense, with the idea that,
by and by, there will become a homo
geneity of the races which will take care
of itself. The Morse in all his varieties
is, of course, part of us. but the assimi-
lation of the Latin in all his varieties Is
another thing. We are trying to be big.
broad Christians and make no distinc.
tons.
Certain laws have been enacted under
the regime OF the Republican party and
the manner in which they are being en-
forced illustrates, as well as could he.
the earnestness of the present adminis-
tration. in allowing the filtering into this
country. in all generosity. OF those who
seek better harbor for what there is in
life. 1t is but fair to the Republican
party in this campaign that every voter
should think of all that the party has
done in the enactment of laws and the
.fr.-u A.
to perfecting the immediate business well
fare of the country and MS to controlling
the nmalgamation OF its future blood.
This is one of the side issues of the
campaign to which the attention of every
voter may well be directed.

The Democratic party is like certain
son which wandered of into far coun-
try and filled his belly with the husks
which the swine did eat. But when he
came to himself he said, l will arise and

which left and will ask to be taken
back as hired servant Oh probation.
will admit that l was wrong aud have
now seen the light and hope to be re-
stored through good behavior to my for
mer place in the confidence of the folks
at home and decent people generally.
That is to say, the Democratic party
could be conscientiously likened to the
prodigal son il it had acted on the lines
lust laid down. But the attitude it ac-
tually assumes is something entirely DIFF
ferent. Without explaining or reprobat-
ing his actions of 1896 and 1900 when
he voted for Bryan. Judge Parker asks
the support and confidence of all gold
standard men because he somewhat pat
ronizingly recognizes the gold STANDARD
as ''irrevocably established" He does
not animadvert upon his own conduct in
leaving home or even upon the quality
OF the nutriment which the far country
of populism afforded the Democratic
pnunch.
As near as we can make 1t out. the
Democratic idea is that the Elder Broth
err should be thrown out on the world
and the Prodigal Son installed As maae
ager of the estate.

SUGAR TRUST POLITICS.
Close Relations of Wall Street and the
Dem CRITIC Party,

SAooo RELATIONS OF Wnll street ana the
Dem CRITIC Party.
New York Letter in Los Angeles Times.)
When New York State was being got
into line for Judge Parker, uavemeyer
put on guard for Parker one of his own
men, Cord Meyer by name. Cord Meyer
is the sugar trusts representative in
Democratic councils. The Republican
party is able to get along without having
sugar trust represent tive in its coun-
ellis. but il Democrats come into power,
1t will be Cord Meyers happy duty to
make sugar stock go up and down on the
New York Stock Exchange and to let
1t be known to anxious statesmen when
1t is going mp and when it is going down.
Do the people out West know that in
New York, when the Democrats desire to
carry an election. they go out and tell
the district leaders that a certain stock
on the New York Stock Exchange. say
Manhattan Elevated, will go up SIS per
share in case of Democratic success?
That is what they do, and it does go up.
too, and that shows how close the Demo-
cratic party is to Wall street in New
York, where Parker and his cohorts come
from. They buy elections with stock
tips, and Cord Meyer, Billy Sheehan and
Belmont are extraordinarily good tip
sters.

Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the

Democratic candidate for the presidency,

The shades of night were falling fast.

III get that check we want. you bet
He sang, as Davisward he set:
"Fork over"
'.Try not that task" the maiden cried
But only fruitlessly she sighed.
For he replied: I'VE need the stutf,'
And chortled then in accents gruf:
'Fork over"
20, stay, vain youth" an old man called
At such self-confidence appalled,.
"Dost think his name is Giveaway?"
Fork over"
On, on he went, by hill and dale,
Until the night at dawn grew pale,
And then at last, with heart elate,
He murmured to the candidate:
Fork over"
He saw the barrel round and fair
Alas! he saw no bunghole there!

The earnest youth at once replied
And then more vigorously cried:

They found him, frozen stiff and cold
His banner still within his hold
And now they send no strange device,
They simply say: I'VE want the price
