The Immigration Question.
Tho question of restricting immigration
from Europe, or stopping it altogether, is
bound to attract wide attention in tho noar
future. It is already being discussed quite
extensively. There are some who favor
levying a tax upon immigrants, and others
who advocate admitting only those who
have well filled purses. The discussion of
the subject and the expressions of opinion
with regard to it indicate a growing oppo
sition to immigrants and an increamng de
sire to accept only those who give promise
of becoming good citizens and of quickly
adapting themselves to the customs of the
country.
There are several reasons for the growing
h< utility to immigrants. One is that there is
a disposition on the part of the governments
of Europe to make the United States the
dumping ground for their paupers. Only a
few days ago paupers were sent back to
England from-both New York and Phila
delphia. They were without any means of
support, and the exiHUisos of their passage
had been paid by the English government.
Another reason is the increasing number
of Socialists and Anarchists who, driven
from their native lands because of their re
fusal to respect the laws, come to this coun
try, not the purpose of being good citi
zens and making homes for themselves and
their families, but to excite strife and dis
sensions. It uted to lx‘ said that Anarchists
could do no harm here, becauso tho ]>eople
were so contented with their surroundings
and their prosjiecto of getting ahead in the
world that they would not listen to them.
It is admitted now, however, that these
agitators are dangerous to society, and that
they will cause great trouble in the noar
future if thoy are not dealt with promptly
and firmly.
There are still other reasons, but the two
given are sufficient to show that the grow
ing hostility to immigrants has quite a solid
foundation. The question which presents
itself in this connection, however, is this:
Ought immigration to be stopjied, or to any
great extent restricted, because there are
objectionable immigrants? It is true we
don’t want the paupers and the anarchists,
and would be glad if other kinds who do not
appear to be able to rise above the condition
they occupied in Europe could be prevented
from coming, but we do want the thrifty
aud intelligent people, who will help
to increase the greatness ami prosperity
of the country. Immigrants have con
tributed lurgely to making tho nation what
it is. They are producers as well as con
sumers, and they produce a great deal more
than they consume. They become thor
oughly Americanized and take more pride
in their udopted than in their native land.
The belief entertained by some that the
country will soon ail be occupied, aud that
native Americans will be crowded by immi
grants, has little foundation. There is
room for hundreds of millions of
people, and the time when the
United States will have all the population
they can sustain is very far in the future.
Wealth is greatest in tho States which un
most thickly populated There are a good
many of the States which would gladly
welcome thrifty immigrants. This State,
for instance, could sustain easily several
times its present population, and the aver
age material condition of the people would
be better than it is now.
While it might bo wise to place certain
restrictions upon immigration it would boa
mistake to check it. It is probable that
there would not lie a great deal of op|s>si
tion to the enactment of laws against ob
jectionable immigration but there would
be to laws shutting out all immigrants.
Null and Void?
A siecial from Pensacola says that some
of the best lawyers of that city hold that
all the acts of the recent session of tho Leg
islature of that State are null and void
for the reason that the Senate was not
legally organized. The point made is this:
Tho new constitution provides that tho Sen
ate shall elect one of its own memliei-s per
manent President, and that no person hold
ing a lucrative Federal or State office shall
hold the position.
Lieut. Gov. Mabry presided over the Sen
ate. Tho provision of tho new constitution
requiring tho election of a member of the
Senate for permanent President was not
complied with. The only excuse that Lieut.
Mabry had for presiding was that the new
constitution provides thut tho office of
Lieutenant Govoruor shall not become va
cant until after the expiration of the term
of tho present incumbent, but it does not
provide that he slioll preside over the Sen
ate.
The point has some merit, but it is doubt
ful if it will hold good. Doubtless it was
considered by the Senate before that l*xly
permitted the Lieutenant Governor to pre
side. It 1s hardly probable that the provision
of the new constitution requiring tho elec
tion of a permanent officer csoajxvl the at
tentiou of all the members of the legisla
ture, some of whom helped to frame the
new constitution. It is u question whether
the provision of the new constitution which
continues tho present Lieutenant Governor
in office does not also, by implication,
authorize him to perform the duties which
belonged to that office at the time of his
election.
If able lawyers, however, consider that
tho Benato was illegally organized, an effort
may be made to prevent Senator Pasco
from taking his seat when Congress meets.
The United States Senate is very close, and
the Republicans would not be slow to seize
u|k>u any legitimate excuse to keep a Dem
ocratic Senator out of hi scat.
The Whitaker Street Paving.
The work of paving Whitaker street is
progressing quite satisfactorily, and the
prospect is thnt within a month or so it will
be completed to Henry street. Tho only
obstruction to it is the switch at Bolton
street. The street railroad conipuny Ills
been ready for some timo to remove tho
switch but it is prevented from doing so by
the Sanitary Commission, or someone act
ing under i*s authority. There does not n]>-
pear to bo any good reason why the switch
should not be removed. It is hardly proba
ble that the public health would suffer from
its removal. It is composed of a few bars
of iron aud a hundred or so of cross-ties,
and in taking them up the ground would be
but slightly disturbed. Tho paving of
Whitaker street should not be interrupted
without excellent reasons, ami it doesn’t a|>-
pear that the switch in question affords good
reasons.
Mr. Morris Fried ham, of the Third inter
nul revenue district of New York, says tko
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Nun, enjoys the distinction of being the
only Republican internal revenue collector
loft in office in the whole United States. The
force under him is almost exclusively com
posed of Democi-ats. It would seem that
Mr. Friedliaui would feel so lonesome that
be would resign without further delay.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JUNE 26, 1887-TWELYE PAGES.
Not a Subject for Sympathy.
Some of the Western papers are express
ing sympathy* for Mr. E. L. Harper, Vice
President of the wrecked Fidelity National
Bank of Cincinnati. They are disposed to
excuse him because he is young,and dashing
in his style of conducting gambling ofiera
tions. There is no doubt that he is a very
able business mnn, and that he has achieved
some remarkable successes. He is about :>('>
years of age and has made and lost two or
three fortunes. But what reason is there
for excusing him or expressing sympathy
for him; Almost any man of nerve enn
ncliiove success in gambling operations if he
have unlimited capital at his command.
Harper lacked commercial honesty, and had
no hesitation in applying other people's
money to his own use. He occupied a posi
tion of trust and confidence and he proved
unfaithful. He lost millions of money to
which he had no right whatever. He took
the money because it was within his reach.
If there is any reason for sympathizing
with him in his downfall there ls reason for
sympathizing with the smart thief who has
been caught after a successful career of
crime. If influential newspapers excuse
men like Harper there will soon be no re
spect for commercial honesty. Young men
who are entering upon their business career
will be led to believe that success is every
thing and that integrity counts for nothing.
They will strive to get money without re
gard to the means to be employed to get it.
Honest men will be sneered at as plodders,
while the reseal will be applauded if he be
successful and excused if he fail. No, the
country is hardly ready yet to accept such
men as Ferdinand Ward and E. L. Harper
as examples for the youth of the country to
follow.
Love’s Tragedies.
. If the chronicles of the past are worthy of
credence, lovers’ quarrels in olden times
jvere frequent, but it was seldom that they
result -1 in bloodshed. Asa rule thoy were
affairs of but a moment, or, at the most, of
but a few days. Anger soon gave way to
the gentler passion, and kisses sealed the
uewly-made peace. When a maiden re
jected a suitor he sometimes grow thin and
pile from disappointment, but it was not
often tha* 'us despair caused him to take
his own lif \ and still less often that insane
rage led hi > take the life of the maiden
■who had rejected him.
At the present lovqys’ quarrels not infre
quently result seriously. Suicide on account
of disappointment in affairs of the heart is
quite common. Rejected suitors seom to bo
the prey of the worst passions, for they
often kill the maidens for whom they had
but a little while before professed the most
ardent affection.
A shocking tragedy, which illustrates the
proneness of rejected suitors to commit
murder, occurred the other day in Putnam
county, Tenn. Near Cookeville, in the
county just mentioned, there lived a
well-to-do farmer named William
Davis. He had a daughter just budding into
womanhood, who was a favorite with all
who knew her. Among her admirers was a
young man named John W. Green, who had
long paid her devoted attention. He was
deeply in lo\*e with her, or, at least, he pro
tested that he Nvas, and Anally ask<-d her to
marry him. The young lady, it seems, did
not entertain a tender feeling for him, but,
on the contrary, bestowed her affections on
another young man of the neigh
borhood, whom she agreed to mar
ry. Such was the strength of
young Green’s love for her, that after all his
pleadings and avowals of undying affection
for her had proved unavailing ho was driven
to the point of desperation. Rather than
see her become tho wife of another he pre
ferred to see her die and then to put an end
to his own existence. Armed with a pistol
he sought her, and asked her once more
to marry him. She again refused.
Ho then drew the pistol and
deliberately shot her dead. He
followed this dreadful act with an attempt
to take Ills own life, but although he fired
four liallsinto his Ixxly he failed to carry out
his purpose. Ho was carried home in a dan
gerous condition, but his mother refused to
send for a physician, saying that if her son
should recover he would be hanged.
Perhaps if parents would be more careful
about the male associates of their daughters
there would bo fewer tragedies like that
just descriliod.
During the last session of the General As
sembly Hon. Martin Calvin, of Richmond
county, introduced a resolution in the House
providing for the appointment of a commit
tee to make a thorough study of the convict
question during the recess, with a view to
the preparation of a bill which should give
the State a satisfactory penitentiary system.
The resolution was defeated, because the
rubers of the House were afraid thnt tho
►ointment of tho committee would lead
to the ex[enditure of a few dollars. Mr.
Calvin's plan, however, commended itself
very generally to the people. The convict
question is of too much importance to be
disposed of hastily, nor should it be dis
cussed intoirqioratcly, as some recent indica
tions suggest that it will bo when tho Gen
eral Assembly convenes for the summer ses
sion.
Ireland is the only civilized country in
the world which did not share in the cele
bration of Queen Victoria's jubilee. United
Ireland , Mr. William O'Brien’s paper, says
of the fact: “She stood sternly and sorrow
fully aloof. Ireland’s place ought to have
been beside England at the throne. Irish
blood and brain helped to build tho empire.
Poverty, misery and slavery are her re
ward. She shared England’s lalsus, but
she may not share her triumphs. England’s
joy is for fifty years of liberty, prosperity
and progress. The Irish grief and wrath
are for fifty years of misery, famine and
oppression. England is cumbered by the
struggles of a sullen captive, when she
might purchase by justice the aid and com
fort of a friend.”
A peculiar sentence, which is virtually
banishment from tho United States, is at
tracting interest at Canton, O. Stanislaus
Loishat is in jail, charged with stabbing Dr,
E. O. Portman witli intent to kill. It was
proposod by the prosecution that if the
friends of Loishat would send him to France,
where lie should stay and never return, he
would lie released; otherwise, ho would be
tried at once. The conditions were agreed
to, and Loishat will soon start to serve his
sentence of banishment. There seems to be
no such tiling in Ohio ns compounding a
felony.
Queen Knpiolani, far away in London,

CURRENT COMMENT.
She Will Not Reniotaber Them.
From the Baltimore American {Rep.)
Now that Queen Victoria has been remem
bered by her subjects, she. in turn, should not
forget them. A proclamation emancipating
Ireland wottld he a most fitting return for the
honors heaped upon her.
Flags and Emblems in England.
From the Few York IVorlti (Deni.)
John Bull is becoming as irritable as the aver
age l*>vine on the subject of colored (lags and
emblems. Only the other day an English man
of-war bore down on a small yacht and sternly
forced the Irish member of Parliament who
owned it to haul down the green Hag which he
Irad flying at his boat's masthead.
A Pitiful Business.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem).
What a pit if ill business for men with a nice
sense of honesty is this gambling in wheat, pork,
corn and other food products. The counters of
the gamesters aro mode from the lifeblood of
the people, and to succeed iu the game is usually
to lose all that honorable men hold dear. Yet it
cannot bo doubted t hat the Cincinnati scoundrels
who flung millions of other people's money into
a losing venture were regarded iu those parts as
very good men in their way.
The Negro Exodus.
From the Chattanoooa Times (Dem).
It is current in the Northern Republican press
that negroes arc leaving South Caroliua in great
numbers for Arkansas and other Western States.
Well, what of it? The negro is free to go where
he listetli. If more of him of certain classes
will go, keep going until he reaches Africa and
stay there, this country will he greatly benefited
by the exodus. The South could spare a round
half of its negro population with signal ad
vantage to the section directly' and to the coun
ti'y generally.

AN UNEXPECTED GUEBT.
A Monkey’s Escapade in a Restaurant
in New York City.
From the New York Evening Sun.
A little man with a pleasant smile and a far
away look in his eyes quietly seated himself in
Richard Faulkner’s restaurant, on Chambers
street, at noon, and gave his order to one of Mr
Faulkner's waiters. Tho little man brought
forth a tunned edition of •■She," and became so
much absorbed In his reading that he failed to
hear the sweet strains of "Peek-a-boo" that
came fioating in at the open door. He failed
also to notice that the music was produced by
that most classic of instruments, the hand
organ, and that a monkey came in with the
music.
A long rope trailed after tho monkey, and a
smiling son of Italy was attached to the other
end. Casting his eye about for somebody likely
to have small change, the monkey descried the
little man with a book, and, softly approaching,
climbed on the table, and seating himself before
the intent reader, doffed his cap. Still the little
nmn went on reading. The monkey tried to at
tract the man’s attention by chattering, and
finding himself ignored, became incensed,
whipped the book out of the hands of the aston
ished little man, and made a home run for the
door. But he did not escape so easily The thin
lariat caught on the legs of a table full of dishes
and glassware, upsetting it with a fearful crash
and breaking the rope in twain.
The monkey, finding himself free, nimbly
mounted to the top of a high cupboard and sat
chattering defiantly at his master, who now
stood vainly coaxing his troublesome charge to
come down from his elevated perch. The littlo
man berated the bewildered organ-grinder for
allowing his monkey to take suen liberties with
a stranger. The proprietor Of the restaurant
sent for a step-ladder. The diners were con
vulsed with laughter.
A ladder was brought, and a waiter climbed
after the runaway monkey, who scratched and
bit and clung to the hair of the unfortunate
man, who, however, handed him over to his
owner. He was again tied to the treacherous
rope. The musician apoligized in broken Eng
lish and hurriedly retired, followed by- the
curses of the little man and of the proprietor,
who threatened to have the Italian arrested for
creating a disturbance. The novel, much the
worse for rough usage, was passed hack to tha
little man, who resumed his reading. The
overtuned table was righted, the broken glass
ware and crockery were gathered up. and the
dining-room took on its usual air of quiet and
repose.
SHE REJECTED THE CHINAMAN.
Then Lee Wing Hing Went Crazy—A
Joliet Sunday School Episode.
A dispatch from Joliet, 111., to the New York
World says: Lee Wing Hing, a tolerably good
looking laundryinan of this place, was taken to
Chicago for medical treatment, having become
a Howling and dangerous maniac through unre
quited love for his female Sunday School teacher.
For over a year Lee has been attending Sunday
school here in company with four other almond
eyed pupils, and during this time, while making
but slow progress in his religious studies, he
gave evidence of unusual aptitude in making
love to his fair teacher. At different times he
luvished his affection on several of the young
ladles, and in one case even w ent so far as to in
vest a considerable sum in a diamond ring, which
he presented to his fair enslavor pro tern. The
presentation, however, came to the notice of the
pastor, who ordered the girl to return the bauble,
much to Lee’s astonishment.
A week ago last Sunday, Lee, who had by this
time succumbed to the charms of a fourth di
vinity, proposed marriage to her. The girl,
tickled by the novelty of the offer, did not de
cline at once, but said she would let him know
in a week. Last Snnday she told her Celestial
admirer that she never could be his. Lee at
once left the school, and proceeding to a neigh
boring opium joint entered upon a desperate de
bauch. The spree lasted until yesterday, when
the laundryman, brandishing a huge knife, sud
denly appeared on the street and threatened to
carve an v one who approached him. He charged
up and down the streets for some time terroriz
ing all who came in his way, but finally a police
man gave him a tap on tho head with a locust,
and before Lee could recover his already befud
dled senses he was handcuffed anil locked up.
To-day he was taken to Chicago by a wealthy
relative for medical treatment. As he was being
bundled into the train he exciiyimed: "Melican
gal no good; Lee go crazy! Too bad;”
Ghosts of Dead Lovers.
i.
Upon my- hearth a pictured boy—
Don Cupid—strikes a mandolin;
Sometimes I think he sings the joy
Of loves that are or that have been—
The joy of perfect days in June,
Of orange flower and honeymoon.
it.
Sometimes while I in revery dream
And weave love verses light as air,
My Marian’s graces for my theme—
Her gentle face, her flowing hair—
I hear the minor notes of woe
Of lovers dead so long ago.
111.
The queen who all her conquered power
Regained through Love’s unguarded gate;
Francesca whom a single hour
Gave blinding love and mortal hate;
That one by whom Troy's temples fell
Aud sighing Heloise in her cell;
IV.
The maid w ho sire and country sold
To win the scorn of Beieus' son;
Queen Dido dead amid her gold
And Gretchen by false vows undone—
The piping of young Cupid's song
Leads up from hell the shadowy throng.
v.
Like morning mists they float, they- flow.
Their writhing arms in anguish tossed,
These lovers of the long ago
Through guilty love forever lost:
A dream of horror haunts their eyes,
Mute suppliants of the silent skies.
vt.
Though Cupid sing of summer cheer
Above the merry mandolin,
Above the clear young voice I hear
The ghostly wail of voices thin—
The minor cadence of the woe
Of lovers dead so long ago.
W. IV. Gay.

From the Lewiston Journal.
A well-known parson in Lewiston has been
trying to put up curtain shade* this week. Per
spiring with exertion, ho sat himself down on
t.ue windowsill and looked at the street. A
neighbor passing by said: “Well. Mr. 8., how'
do they go?”
“Eh,” says the parson, “they go; well, they
go n good deal as Mr. Boggs’ hull. You’ve heard
about him?”
"Never,” was the reply.
“Well, then, it was the first pastorate I
preached, and one of my first, prayer meetings
in the pastorate. Things had come to a stand
still. Nobody bad anything to say. I was young
and somewhat frightened at the silence, and
hardly know what to do. 1 felt that I must say
something, however, and so I exhorted the
people to say what ihe spirit moved, to discuss
things, to give testimony on trlval matters if
need lie. Suddenly up rose Mr. Boggs. He had
something to say, and ho said it, and this is
how lie began It. I never got any further than
the beginning of Mr. Boggs' testimony, for
that points the nJtusion. Mr. Boggs arose pain

I was present in a drug store when the com

of the doctor's patients swallow a dreadful dose
that cannot possibly do them any good. Only a

“Certainly I do,” said /Esculapltu, haughtily,

A man dug a well 25 feet from a eucalyptus

house from the well in a wooden pipe. In that

began to give out. The water, too, was acquir

fact that the well had been filled up with masses
of eucalyptus roots. The tree had run a root

that method gained the well itself

if it was still raining, and on receiving an
affirmative reply, went back to his seat. And it
was not until after he had ridden far beyond bis
destination that he discovered bis mistake. He
now thinks as little of English wit as he does of

Mr. Gladstone relates that when be was a
young and ardent Tory at Oxford, he ventured
to expostulate with a Liberal workman who
was taking part in the reform agitation. Mr.
(Hailstone urged him to beware of these revolu

warning by the fate of France. The honest
workman listened respectfully for a time, and
then broke out with a reply” which Mr. Glad -
stone to this day admits was conclusive.
"D your foreign nations!” said he. “What
has that got to do with old England?” Mr.
Gladstone thinks Englishmen to-dny are too apt
to assume just that attitude towards foreign
opinion on home rule.
An interesting discovery was made at Win

his uncle Richard, the second son of the con
queror, who was killed by a stag in the New
forest. Richard’s hones were thus preserved by
King Stephen’s brother, and the coffer, alter
some seven centuries, remains perfect. The in

hones of Richard, but the words “Beorm Dux”
