Stir on Capitol Hill.

There is a stir on Capitol Hill as re-
spects both foreign affairs and naval af-
fairs, and II Is well justified. Not that
re arc on the eve of war, for In that
event our activity might suggest panic
The rllair, thing is to bring business up to
date. and keep abreast OF the times T'is-
cal and financial matters have been tax
ins up attention to the exclusion Of other
matters. Other matters should now have
an inning.
There is Mexican question, which IN
the opinion of some democrats as we'll as
some republicans should be handled
little more erergetically. There is
question about Panama canal tolls, which
Great Britain has brought to the front.
Japan is still pressing about the land
problem in California, and Colombia
seeks redress for grievances alleged IN
the case of the establishment of the
Panama republic All those matters
should have attention, and now is good
tina
As respects the navy. that question
would exist if the others did not. We
have that with us every year. We are
approaching it for this year. What addi-
for. not in view of contentious with Mex
iao, Great Britain. japan or Colombia,
but in view of our standing as power
on the water and our obligations to
maintain it: We know what other
great powers are doing to maintain their
standing there. and as we are in the
procession We must drop out or keep up
Nobody with voice in affairs is pro-
posing that We drop out The littiest of
the little navy men would make some
show. But the advocates of a really
adequate navy y-the phrase is taken
from the Baltimore piatform-insist upon
the proper SNOW, and are supported by
the highest naval authorities. The most
distinguished of the men We have edu-
Gated for sea service urge all ample pro-
vision at this session for the navy's needs.
Only illness kept Admiral Dewey away
rom the committee hearing yesterday.
War with any foreign power would
cause a suspension for the time of all
our local differences. We are d nation,
as was demonstrated sixteen years ago
when war with Spain was declared. The
democratic party at that time Loyalty
supported republican President. and the
republican party would as Loyalty now
support a democratic President On that
roint there is no doubt or difference.
But what will unaninlity avail if we so
into action handicapped? Unless we are
prepared, or are on the way to full prep
aration, we shall inevitably, for
time at least. be an easy mark for the
foe. Experience. reflection. everything
teaches that the best safeguard against
war IS full preparation for it.

Restriction of immigration.
ON The Clnriunati Times Star

From the Cincinnati Times Star
one OF the most curious arguments ad-
Xanced by the opponents OF the immisra-
tion bill that seems likely To- become Il
law this winter is to the effect that it will
leave America without d supply OF man
ilal Ia Dor. With the bars up against prac-
ticallv unlimited immisration, they say.
there viii be nobody left To do the manual
labo" of the United states. There are
ove. ninety-iive millions OF people i'll the
United States. What's the trouble with
such a great mass of able-bodied and
abIe-mnded people that they have to
count OF outsiders to carry them through
the struggles of life? If it were said that
the passage of a measure really restrict
ing Immigration would increase the de-
mand for American labor and bring
about large increase in the average
wage there might he something in the
argument. If We reduce the present vol
ume of immigration into the United States
by - or 20 per cent, the result undoubt
edly will be much higher wages for
American workinSmen. And that would
be good. not d bad. thing. Rigid re-
striction of immigration would do far
more to put an end 10 industrial unrest
III this country than any proposal for po-
litical or economic change that has yet
been advanced.

in some results worked to the injury Of

in some results worked to the injury OF
the state.
What other conclusion is possible when
| we see such man as Gov. Blease the
latest flower on the reform stem? Under
ordinary circumstances he would not re-
ceiye a moments consideration in his
present aspirations. Inside and outside
the state. only brief astonishment would
be felt and the matter dismissed. Rec
objections OF Wade Hampton and NJ. c.
Butler would make it Impossible for such
a candidacy to hold attention at all.
But political conditions in South Caro-
lima have not been ordinary for a long
time Reform produced the abnormal.
and at last has produced Blease. Is he
no, the limit? Or has fate in reserve
a figure less associablc with sober de-
liverances in office. and official conduct
more surprising?
As Tho Star stated some months ago.
the Senate might tame Gov Blease- II
has tanned others of his kind. After a
few outbursts, which would entertain the
galleries and make COPY for the news
papers. he would probably get his bear
ings and sheer off from that sort of
thing He would find that such out
bursts injured him In the chamber and
prevented him from accomplishing any
thing of Importance for his constitu-
ents. A senator cannot subsist on vio-
ience He must subside for his own
good A human volcano is never popu-
lar. Eruptions are at least annoying.
But does South Carolina want the
latest product of her turbulence tanned
in so conspicuous a place? The Senate
stands on an eminence. Actors in that
body are observed of the whole country.
A foolish word spoken or act committed
there or wise word spoken or act
committed, viii attract attention from
ocean to ocean.
The old breed has not disappeared in
that cid commonwealth. She has sent
many notable men to Washington, and
in their places they gave notable accounts
of themselves. Why at this important
time In national affairs should she not
in this senatorial matter turn to the
old order?

South Carolina.

II is agreed that Gov. Blease is making
a unique compaign for United States
senator. IL abuse of public men in his
own state and other states. and the
emptying OF prisons by means of the
pardoninS power, will avail he will reach
goal But will such means avail with
the people OF South Carolina?
Surely those people must be tired OF
tiring OF the jamhoree on which they
entered a score of years ago. Let it be
admitted that local conditions at that
time called for improvement. and that
some OF the steps taken 10 that end
were justified. Yet it would appear that
other steps We're not so We'll advised
that the movement got out of hand and

and then another letter. which usually
produced results.
1t is reassuring to find that testimony
is being given by operatives in the
BLACK Hand game. Heretofore 1t has
been next to impossible to get evidence
even from the victims. SO fearful were
they of reprisals. With the information
gained through these confessions head
way may be made toward breaking up
the groups of criminals using dynamite
as means of extorting money. 1t IS
now plain that there is no central BLACK
Hand" organization. but that the methods
identified with that title are employed by
numerous gangs, chiefly composed of
Italians. If all the victims would CO.
operate with the police by reporting I'M
mediato1y when they receive their first
warnings this form of enterprise
would quickly be suppressed.
