One important result of the war
now on between the steam
ship lines is that we are having tre-
mendous influx of undesirable immi-
grants. This country is big enough
and undeveloped enough to care for
many times its present population, but
we have enough Of the scum of Europe
here now. They crowd into our cities
and live as best they can, working for
wages which are far below what any
A merican can live on. They recruit
the criminal classes. flock to the aims
houses and are a burden to the COM
munity. When the fare was $21 we
got enough of these, but now that it
costs less than half that sum the num-
ber is rapidly increasing, showing that
ten dollars is an immense sum to them.
Those who arrive now do not have on
the average more than $500 in their
pockets, which simply argues that
many of them will have to be supported.

POLITICAL.

The National Republican Convention
meets at Chicago next Tuesday; and
the National Committee is already in
gession there for the purpose Of settli ng
contests, making up temporary roll
call, and deciding upon the order of the
convention.
The principal contests are for Del
aware and Wisconsin, in both of which
states a question of leadership and
party regularity is involved. The COM
mittee is not the court Of final appeal in
such matters. 1t reports to the conven-
tion, and the convention itself names a
comMitte on contests, so that the de-
cision of the committee can be indorsed
or rejected as the case may be.
One Of the events of the week which
have to do with the National gathering
is the pronounced decl aration of
Speaker Cannon that under no circum-
stances will he permit himself to be
made the Vice Presidential candidate.
II nominated against his wishes he
threatens to decline on the spot
As the days wear on more attention
is given to Senator Fairbanks, of
Indiana, as probability for the Office.
The Illinois delegation will present the
name Of Representative Hit, and there
is no doubt that Hit would like to
round his career with the honor of pre-
siding over the Senate, but il Fairbanks
is willing to take the Office the tenden-
cy. as 1t now appears. will be toward
him.
Hearst won out in the Illinois Demo

At the late Democratic State Conven-
tion, held in Kentucky the following
resolution was adopted:
ssThe Democratic party of Kentucky
in convention assembled affirms its faith
in and adherence to the great and fund
amental principles of Democracy as
expounded by Jefferson. exemplified by
jackson and ably defended by Bryan"
Could there be anything more charm
ing than that-the Fundamental prin-
ciples Of Democracy as expounded by
jefferson, exemplified by jackson and
ably defended by Bryan What
comedy entertainment the Kentucky
Democrats must have been attending.
One wonders If their convention did not
adjourn with all joining hands in a
breakdown and singing:
Kentucky. oh, Kentucky
The land where was born.
Where the corn is fun of kernels
And the Colonels full of corn.

The capture of two American citizens
by Moroccan btigand. aud his absurd
demands in consideration Of their re-
lease, caused the administration to send
fleet of war vessels to the port of
Tangier; and this action of our gov
ernment is causing considerable per
turbation in the political circles of Eu-
rope. The Europeans are afraid that
the United States will take something
there. The great mountain of Ceuta,
just across the straits from Gibralter,
could be made as impregnable as is
GIbralter. and it has better command

singer. They had not been living to-
gether for some time, Mrs. Kissinger
and her 15-year-old son making their

wife at her home to get her to sign a
deed for 100 acres OF coal land for which
be had been offered $500
1t is said Mrs. Kissinger refused to
sign unless he would give her part of
the proceeds Of the sale A quarrel
ensued and it is alleged, Kissinger
struck tie woman, inf1icting a wound
an inch long on the back of her head.
The son, who was in another room.
heard his mother fall to the floor and
hurried to her assistance. She was
dead when he picked her up. The boy
ran to East Brady and notified the
authorities there, who placed Kissinger
under arrest.
On the testimony of physicians and
members Of the family at the prelimi-
nary hearing at East Brady, Kissinger
was rernanded to Jail.
A post mortem showed death was
caused by blood clot at the base of the

The Colorado War.

In battle between the troops and
the miners near Dunville, Wednesday,
one miner was killed, and fourteen
were captured.
On Thursday General Bell ordered
the closing of the Portland mine which
employs none but union men.
On Friday the Citizens Alliance de-
creed the deportation of all members
of and sympathizers with the Western
Federation of Miners, hundreds OF
whom were captured and put in the
stockade or ''bull-pen. Some of the
local officials who sympathized with
the Federation were forced to resign.
Judge Frost who was in Denver at
the time said he had not been asked to
resign, and that he had no intention OF
resigning; that conditions were such in
the district he thought it best not to
hold court there for the present.
It is known among all the officials
who have left Teller county that those
officials who were caught there were
forcibly taken before committee, and
asked to resign.
They were asked to sit down at ia.

Il learn from Telluride that the unior
men there concede that their cause il
lost and that those of them who are &C

Governor Peabody sent the following
reply to message from the industrial
council of Kansas City condemning his
action in regard to military rule:
The fact that your Council endorses
the assassinations, train-wrecking and
dynamiting by the lawless element in
the Cripple Creek district but proves
the necessity for my present action IN
suppressing all such persons from the
soil of Colorado. Become wise before
you attempt to teach.
On Tuesday some of the leaders were
taken from the bull-pen to the county
Jail. The military authorities say they
will be charged with completely in the

Official Corruption a Cause oi
Russian Weakness.

One reason why the Russians were
not better prepared to hold up their end
in the conflict with the japanese which
their arrogance, their rapacity and their
mendacity Invited is to be found in the
corruption which prevails in every ex-
ecutive department Of their govern
ment This has been notorious for
years There is no country in the
world, with the possible exception OF
China, where the science of graft
has been so thoroughly mastered or is
80 extensively practiced. The Russian
official is always ready to utilize every
opportunity for personal profit which
the fulfillment of his functions affords,
and the perpetration Of wholesale fraud
at this time in connection with the
purchase of military material, and with
all the manifold operations which the
conduct of campaign involves. was
foregone conclusion. Yet the facts
which have become known must surely
have outrun the expectations even of
the pest INFORMED.
Perhaps the most audacious and un-
scrupulous thing of the k nd which has
been reported was the looting of the
hospital train which was recently
equipped by the Czarina. the Queen of
Denmark; the Queen of England and
other notabilities. The train was sup
piled with everything required by those
for whose relief it was intended, and
when it left st. Petersburg, as precau-
ton against the universal pilferer, seals
were placed on all its compartments.
The st. Petersburg correspondent for
the New York Sun is responsible for
the assertion that, after the train had
left for its destination, the Czarina,
whose misgivings had in some way
been aroused. telegraphed instructions
to Moscow that the train should be
examined upon its arrival there. This
was done and the seals were found to
be intact. TO make sure, however,
that everything was alright 1t was
decided to break one of the seals and
examine the contents of the compart-
ment. They proved to consist of use
less blocks of wood and it was ascer-
tained by further investigation that
every compartment had been similarly
treated. The gifts of the Czarina and her
associates had never left the Russian
capital.
This seems increditible, but it is well
attested and it is quite in keeping with
the habits of the Russian bureaucracy.
The same correspondent tells another
story which, though less extraordinary,
is equally significant. He says an Eng
lish manufacturer, having secured con-
contract for army supplies, asked how
much it wonId be necessary to distribute
among the officials with whom he had
to deal. He was told what they would
each expect and discovered that it
