AssIsTED IMuIGRANTS.

That ship load of immigrants landed from the wittehind at Charleston about the middle of November has been the Incidentally braced up the question of States Rights. If we take the correct view of it. There were SIS of these immigrants who were brought over from Bremen. to be distributed at va- rious points In South Carolina. Agents of that State went to Germany for the purpose of soticiting immigrants. and. as we understand Che matter. the State paid their expenses over.
 This brought up the question wheth- ported under contract" which would be contrary to our immigration laws. and render, them liable to be returned to the old country. Ia order to settle the conflicting points. Secretary Metcalf submitted the case to Solicitor Earl of the Department of Labor. for his opin- fon. That authority. fin his decision, holds that "there had been no viola tfon of the national law. since States and Territories are by the law itself excepted as far as relates to the pro- hibition against assisting the impor- tation of foreign 1aborera by promise of employment through advertising abroad. He adds; By the terms of the proviso, States and Territories may offer inducements or make prom iaes to foreign lahexefs by advertise ment printed and published in foreign countries. and they are not forbidden to assist in the migration of the for eign lahSreEs to which offers are ad' dressed"
 This is q decision in favor of States rights, is if notf AS The Hartford Times looks at 1t. if this opinion fDlds good and is adhered to. it will greatly assist in solving the labor problem in the South. but The Times wants to know "why other employers than such as can obtain State Legislation may not have a similar privilege" In plain words. The Times ia not sn favor of special privileges. even for a State.

THE INDIANS PLEDGE

An Oklahoma paper tells of a recent case where an Indian pleaded guilty ln court to some criminal offence. and Che account adds:
 He was sentenced to sixty days fin the Federal tail and to pay a flne of s2s. He asked to be permitted to stay to provide for for his famliy. fO and q JuSge Hds Parker granted the request releasing Boiling. who Is a Cherokee. on a prom pt to appear at Vinfta on December 1. sgind was required, Boiling was wait Ang at the court house one morning last week. when the doors were opened. and Is now in jail serving his sentence. He says his crop Is gathered and his ter.
 It is plainly evident that civilization and association have not entirely driven from the Indian his native Ideas eR faithfulneRs to a pledge. History ana legend contain numerous accounts of Indians who have shown this same strict dsvoti0B Co promise given, even when their compliance meant certain death. as they well know. "The red man keeps his word" was their boast. and they lived up to it.
 In their savage state they had no prisons and knew nothing of giving bond@ far their appearance. If one was charged with a crime and a day fixed for him to appear before the old men of hts tribe fer trial. he would be there. If convicted and condemned to death, and a time sas for him to be executed. he was aIiowea to go on ''his own rec sOsnfzance. as we would express 1t. He wowld cell his judges that he would be present at a certain hour on the day set and nothing but physical imposst- Nflitx would prevent him from keeping his word. The whites are a long way ahead of the Indians in most respects. but a white man accused or convicted of crime is not suffered to go free without some bond or security for his appearance at the time fixed. Tn that respect, at least. we are behind the red man.

AN ArDAc1opa sUeersTrou.

Our esteemed and weil-edited RepuD-
 iican contemporary. The Portland Ore
 gonian. has some heavy strains put on
 it's political loyalty by men occupying
 high places in tha Government The eminent Secretary of the Navy hits 1t
 hard by taking the position that the Government should buy armor plate in
 the cheapest market. bringing 1t Into the United States free of duty. of course. The Secretary calls attention
 to the fact that in asking for bids for armor-piate to construct Government
 warships. two American manufacturers submitted identical prices, but which were enormously higher than the mate rial Is worth.
 So. as The oregonian goes on to ex- plain, the Secretary takes the position that the Government must be author ized to manufacture it's own aFmer- plate. or must buy 1t In the cheaper fonaign markets. and he adds that the same ruls should apply to the purchase of torpedoes. ammunition, and, in fact. ito all articles necessary to the na- tioBal defence" All this leads our contemporary to exelaim:
 It is dreadful to think that man es the Carnegie. Schwab and Prick type should "evade the fulfillmcnt of their own duties as patriotic eitizens." And yet 1t Is quite apparent that there has been an evasion of duty, and that not only the Government, but all of the people have been sufferers. The Gov ernnent Is being mulcted to no greater sxse1t proporttonatefy by the steel and If 1t is right that th= Government should go abroad and purchase supplies needed, where they can be secured cheaper than in this country, 1t is also right that private citizens be accorded the sanne pxtvfiegab
 Why should the Government be i'm mune from the higi1waymen who have waxed great under the protective tartn, remains their prey However. thanks to our eminent staudpatters. there fs only the remotest possibility of the See retary's suggestion being followed Tue precedent thus established might net easily be set aside, and for heavens sake don't disturb this prosperitys which we are assured nothing but the all-poweFfuf and most sacred tarin has created.
 The Secretary seems wholly tHdifrer- snt to the fact that these tariR-pro- tected rehher trusts are merely doing to the Goxsrnnspt exactly wiaaA they do to private citizens. The Govern nent, when it established the protee- tive tariR system created a Franken~ stein which. not content with commit ttng outrages on the people. has turned on it's creator and threatens to rend It As long as it was merely the people who were being robbed. 1t was all nice and good but when the great trusts exact tribute from the Government. # is aIl very bad indeed. And fatr- minded people will ask why the Gov~ erhmeut should set asjdA the tarir in It's own interests and enforce it against the people. Tn shoEt they will hold that Uncle Sam should taka his own medicine.

The Peanut.

Richmond Times Dispatch.
 It may not be generally known that the peanut industry in the south Is the direct outcome of the war between the states Before the war peanuts In the south were gToN for home eonsum0- tion only. But when the "Yapks" were marching through Virginia they got a taste of Jonny Reh's' parehed peanuts and liked them so well that when they returned home they began to clamor for more. This created a demand and made the : eanut an article of commerce.
 The peanut is a native of Africa and 1t is an interesting coincidence that the war which set the black man free should have created the peanut indus try. It may also be mentioned that the peanut, like the cOlored race, has ma terially improved its condition by con- tact with Southern civilization. The African pea Is much smaller and not so delicate in flavor. It was formerly imported in large quantities, but the demand long since disappeared. and it now finds its market rrinctpally in France. where 1t is converted Into "olive oil"
