THE "STORu" IN PHILADELPHIA.

A temperate people are Phladelphians, slow
to anger and not at all given TO e1cesses OF
moral Indignation. The result Of the primaries
shows that they have acted with their habitual
moderation. Having been deprived of their
transfers and of their six-for-a-quarter tickets,
they felt hot under the collar, even as the un-
godly grow hot under the collar at the exactions
of unregulated public service corporations. Po-
liticaI weather forecasters said ''storm Of pub
lie Indignation" was brewing in Philadelphia.
When the strike came the lowering clouds broke.

considerations. The machine felt the force of
the "storn" almost as much as the traction
company. In Saturdays primaries the anti

Aggressive operations for the rise carried the

is his intention to raise the standard Of In
spection at Ellis Island is hopeful There can
be no question that In an effort TO lean to the
side Of liberality in the Interpretation OF our
immigration laws the way has been opened 10
grave abuses and a consequence many uh-
desirable citizens have been admitted into the
country Giving the would-be immigrant the
benefit of the doubt is often justified by the re-
suit but there has been strong feeling or Iate
that 1t is better to take the chance of losing
some good prospective material than TO admit
so many persons entirely unfit for American
citizenship.
There Is q certain hardship in deporting per-
sons who have come TO this country which can
not fail TO arouse the sympathies of many, even
though the Justice of the deportations may be
conceded. and it is unfortunate but inev1taole
that this hardship should fall most heavily
upon those least able to bear it The deporteu
person is. in nearly every instance, abjectly
poor Whatever scanty property he may have
owned on the other side disposed Of In

sons have paid over much Of their small store
of money for treatment which would, they were
assured. enable them to pass the medical In

TO grant
1t is of the utmost Importance. Of course, that
the notice given should be brought to the atten-
ton not only of the inspectors on Ellis Island.
but also of inspectors on the other side and TO
the prospective immigrants. So long as the lax
enforcement of immigration laws permits the
entrance of a large number of those who ought
rightfully to be rejected, others who know their
own unfitness will be tempted to take the
chance. A rigid system Of inspection should be
adhered TO, and pains should be taken 70 give
the impression to those who contemplate en-
barking for America that they will not he re-
ceived unless they measure up TO the standard

ATIfTNG At RELOTAGF.

The attitude Of certain Florida legislators
forming a majority of the state Senate toward
the negro as expressed by their votes last week,
IS perfectly simple They hold that he is an in
ferior being ana they intend that he shall re-
main so. There Is ia that state a negro agri-
cultural and mechanical college which aims
10 increase The industrial efficiency of colored
men by instructng them as farmers and arti-
sans, and, like many other institutions through
out the country, it strives 10 give them the
valuable discipline which is found in military
drill and 10 ineulcate in them the neatness and
orderliness which seem almost inseparable from
the wearing of uniforms 1t is understood that
the college is doing good work and Is raising its
students 10 perceoubly higher efficiency as
workmen and 10 4 higher standard of life as
men and citizens
But al this is the very abomination Of desc
lation II the majority of the state Senators of
Florida. They officially declare that a negro
has no business 10 wear uniform or even the
store clothes" affected by his Caucasian and
other neishbors. Homespun and blue leans are
good enough for him As tor the students of
negro college engaging in athletic sports it
IS simply monstroUs. We have got TO stop
them, we shall have trouble with them
pretty soon" For these things are breeding
in the breast Of every negro the ambition to
be a Booker T. Washington" And what could
be- more subversiye Of ali that we prize in
social order than that? What better reason
could there be for refusing further grants of
state money for an institution in which these
pernicious and revolutionary courses are being
pursued
Whittier oEce wrote scathingly of the vain and
wicked attempt 10 suppress the strong upward
tendency OF man." That is the attempt which
these Florida legislators are making They are
apparently alarmed at the signs of progress
among the negroes and at the capacity which
negroes are manfesting for industrial achieve
ment and Intellectual advancement. They are
afraid that the negroes, if they are permitted to
enjoy educational advantages similar 10 those

The rule of the Navy Department which for
bids the marriage of midshipman within two
years of graduation is based On the best of rea-
sons. As his pay is too small TO enable him TO
support a wife in comfort. disregard of the re-
striction might place him in awkward di-
lemma- If he should try TO keep within his in
come. he might be compelled to provide for his
wife in manner unbecoming to him and dis
tasteful TO her If he did not try TO live on his
salary, he might be forced to run in debt or to
adopt discreditable ways of supplementing it.
1t was a wise foresight which aimed to save
the midshipman from any of these tempta tions
and at the same time maintain the reputation of
the service. The government itself has some
thing at stake in the matter.
Three members of the class of 90 appar-
emily ignored the regulation in question last
week These men are said to Justify their
course on the ground that their engagements
antedated the PRONUNCIATION of the order or else
by the assurance that they are, or will be- fnan-
cially independent, Concerning the validity of
such excuses, however, those who offer them are
not the sole judges. Something besides salts
flying their OWN consciences is dema ndesi-a re-
speet for authority. 1t is reported that the
young men have realized the fact and have OBJ
tained formal permission from the Secretary of

Considerable interest centres in the brig Sullivan

hardly warranted. There IS a stronger proba-
bility that they less frequently inspected and
less carefully attended. Who is chiefly TO blame
