NEW EMIGRATION LAW.
nany Changes Have Been Made in
the Same.

Judge a. Hunter Boyd has received
from Senator William Pinkney White,
of Maryland, a copy Of the new emigra-
ton law, which goes into effect ninety
days from the 10th of June last.
A casual glance at the law reveals
many changes, some of which are that
an applicant to become naturalized
must be able to talk English and to
sign his name to the petition.
The courts heretofore prepared the
form of the petition, but under the new
law the blanks are uniform and are fur
nished the clerks of the different courts
by the Bureau Of Emigration.
Under the new law the petition must
be filed ninety days before it can be act
ed upon and no one can be naturalized
within thirty days of an election. The
applicant must swear that he does not
believe in polygamy, and that he is not
an anarchist.

THE AVERAGE EDITOR.

There is no person in the community
who comes in closer touch with every
class and condition of the people or who
leads more strenuous life than the
editor of paper. He gets praises from
some and curses from others, while all
the time he is striving with might and
main for the upbuilding of the town and
the betterment of the community.
There is no one in the city who tries
harder to please the people than does
the editor. In fact, that is his business.
And you may not believe it, but the ed
itor is large hearted, yea, even tender
hearted and forgiving. 1t does him
good to do nice turn for some one
who may have spitefully used him and
prosecuted him in days gone by. The
true editor goes right on giving the
events as they come to pass and if some
one who doesn't speak to him on the
street, because of some fancied inius-
tlce or supposed injury, deserves men
ton in the public print, the same goes
in along with the rest. If an out of
town compliment is paid him by neigh
boring paper, there again the editor
shows his magnanimity and reproduces
it. Were the people to realize in how
many ways the editor comes in contact
with their lives socially, financially and
otherwise and how often he is in posi-
ton to do them a good turn and does it,
they would be less free to criticise and
feel more kindly disposed toward him.
While the pastor has his congregation
to which he ministers and comes in close
contact with the lives of his people and
the lawyer has his clients, the physician
his patients and the business man his
customers, the editor has all of these
and more for whom he keeps a cor
slant lookout, rejoicing with them in
their prosperity and sympathizing with
them in their misfortune or bereave-
ment The editor learns the strength
and the weakness of more people than
the average reader thinks and could
give more information about his neigh
bOrs on short notice than any other
man in town, but, thanks to the broad
ening influence of the life he lives, he
is more in clined to kindness and optim-
ism than he is to malice and pessimism,
so he usually has good word to say for
everybody.

FINE BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

business throughout the United
States is in an excellent condition. There
is much more industrial activity than
usual this season, and the prospect is
excellent for an unprecedented sum-
mer's work. The volume of business
being transacted is clearly indicated
by the bank clearings, which were near
ly one-fourth larger last week than
during the corresponding week in 1905.
The railroad earnings, another good ba-
rometer, show an increase of nearly 70
per cent. last week over the same week
last year. Business has been unusually
brisk IN the trades connection with
building operations. Railroads, instead
of postponing until fall orders for struc-
tural steel bridge timbers, have been
pouring them in during June. One
steel bridge company has taken orders
for nearly 49,, 900 tons during this month.
The demand for steel rails it also COM
paratively heavy.
Perhaps the greatest activity at pres
ent is shown in the buildings trades.
partly IN consequence of remarkable
advance in real estate values through
out the country. The number of great
steel buildings under construction in
American cities is astonishing. Subur
ban building operations are another i'm
portant feature of every large CITY.
Extensions Of trolley lines are being
carried on with corresponding rapiditv.
So heavy are the investments in real
estate and building operations that Wall
street is beginning to complain, for the
reason that money heretofore used in
stock speculation is now diverted to
these channels. Labors is reaping the
benefit Of this diversion both directly
and indirectly. The almost universal
demand for labor is striking proof of
the widespread prosperity.
Crop prospects are very good, in spite
of repeated efforts last week to circu-
late alarming reports. The cotton crop
Is IN good condition, in spite of isolated
cases of drought and excessive rainfall.
The Southern cotton spinners are busy,
although the outlook for business in
China IS not as encouraging as it might
be. The threatened labor troubles at
Fail River were ,averted by an in
crease Of IA per cent. in the wages of
cotton-mill operatives. The increased
assurance of heavy cotton crop sent
the price down on July option, and pur-
chases are being kept down to the mini
mum IN anticipation of lower prices.
Wheat prospects are excellent.
Thrashing of winter wheat is in progress
in Texas and Oklahoma, with heavy
yields assured, while the spring wheat
crop in the Northwest promises to be
unusually heavy. A accommodating
corn crop is sighted, and the price has

MAY BE A DELUSlON.

next fall to control the lower branch &
the SiXtieth Congress. 1t is difficult to
understand upon what such claims are
based or the process of reasoning which
leads up to such conclusion.
Political revolutions usually come
about either when great questions of
national Importance are pending or
when labor is idle and unsatisfied.
Neither of these conditions confronts us
now. Never was the outlook better for
profound domestic peace or for more
amicable foreign relations. The bust
ness of the country continues to grow
by leaps and bounds so that the princi-
pal discomfort in most lines of trade is
that arising from the great difficulty in
filling orders. Money never was more
plentiful nor were wages higher even
in the flush and inflated times just af-
ter the Civil War. And it must be re-
membered that this flood of prosperity
is not on an inflated paper or other base
currency, but on gold basis. The dol
lar that the laborer gets now for few
hours of work is not mere token only
current for like values, but it is dol
lar the whole world over. And the
only discomfort in labor circles is that

DEMOCRATIC NO LONGER
"WHITE MANS" PARTY.

Over in West Virginia the Democrats
have put behind them 1.-The white man S
party" platform and will go into the
campaign this year completely oblivious
to what was classed their prospective
stellar issue. A dispatch from Wheel
ing say: "The brethren in Kanawha
county, whence originated the agitation
two years ago, omitted the battle cry
from their platform adopted last week
by reaffirming the last state conven-
tons refusal to incorporate a negro
disfranchisement plank. To make it
strong that no Acknowledgement would
follow Democratic supremacy the reso-
lutions recall that during the party's
quarter of century control Of the state
no efforts were made to prescribe any
citizen, class or race.
ut is believed that the defeat of the
Poe amendment in Maryland last year
is responsible for this change of plans.
Had Maryland voted otherwise it is
probable the issue would have been con-
sidered popular for the campaign this
year in West Virginia. But the Kama
wha convention was controlled by the
Naturalization faction, and this
faction found the colored brother of use
in the recent Charleston city election,
and it may have reasons for looking to
him for help in November Furthermore,
the same dominating element has at
best only a lukewarm regard for George
Byrne, the most outspoken champion of
negro disfranchisement, whose talents
were pressed into service during the
Maryland campaign.
"Byrne wants to run for Congress in
the-third district, but he has been per-
soma non grata with the Chiltons. They
indorsed his candidacy and instructed
the Kanawha delegation for him, but
not until the plank declaring against
di Acknowledgement was inserted. Byne
and his brother, viii Byrne, have train
ed with the faction headed by Col John
T. McGraw of Grafton, hence the cold
ness OF the Chiffon camp, exhibited
significantly in the resolution, which
takes away from the congressional can
didate his stock in trade.
preston county is to be the battle
ground of another test of the Dawson
and anti-Dawson forces. Leroy Shaw,
a former sheriff, has thrown down the
gage to the county machine, which is
pro-Dawson, by announcing his candi-
dacy for the legislature. This is Gov.
Dawson's old county and he has recent
ly been recreating among his old haunts,
although some of his political foes have
been cruel enough to assert that he de-
voted a portion of his time to pulling
the wires for Sturgiss congressional
delegation and a Dawson ticket for the
legislature.

work Of all kinds is so pressing that
holidays are only to be had on the DAYS
prescribed by law and are then granted
grudgingly by employers because of
their necessities. There is a political
prOverb TO the effect that "hard times
make Democrats" If this be true,
the reverse should be equal. -orrect,
and IN that case the elections next fall
should show but little opposition to the
party of progress. Of course, business
can not remain at high pressure for
ever, and when the cycle starts on the
downward part of the turn things may
be different and the Republican party
may suffer to some extent, but that is
not at hand just yet.
1t may be said that the high pitch of
business prosperity was brought about
largely by the big crops of the past sew
en- years, which European demand en-
abled our farmers to sell at high prices,
and the large quantities of gold mined
in Alaska, and that the Republican par
ty can not claim credit for these. This
Is partly true, although it may be re-
marked that Alaska was bought from
Russia by Republican administration
and the gold mines there in one wear
many times repaid the seven millions
of dollars which it cost US. 1t may also
be remarked that the amount of wheat
now exported from this country is rela-
lively small and is growing less every
year, for we need more and more every
year at home. This big demand at
home, on the other hand lessons the de-
mand for foreign market and helps to
keep the price stiff. If the people were
not working so hard and eating so much
there would be less wheat used here and
much more seeking a market abroad.
1t is the claim of the Republican party
that its policies have had much to do
with the prosperous labor conditions.
and that the assurance that these poll
cles would be in application without dis
turbance for number of years has be-
gotten a business confidence which has
yoked labor and capital together for
long pull and strong pull. The record
of President Roosevelt's administration
and that of the last session of Congress-.
acting on his initiative, is one of solicit
tude, not only for the business interests
of the country, but for the great masses
OF the people, who have heretofore.
with too much reason, thought that all
prediction promises were made only
to be broken and that there was no DOS
sible hope Of relief from the great II usts
which were sitting them. The rail
railroads, even the Standard Oil Com
pany, in all four of the largest trusts in
the country, have felt the corrective
power Of the Republican party, which
has proven one thing that many persons
were beginning to doubt, and that was
whether the government was stronger
than its creatures. Why should the
people show any loss of confidence in
the Republican party?
