MR. GILLESPIE’S USELESS PRO POSAL. Since 1S20 twenty-five million! of Immigrants have arrived in the United States from Europc. The exact figures are 2i.6H9.SbS. The vast majority of these have • one to this country ,-ince the war f 1S61-5. In the single fiscal year ending June 30. 1906. immigrants came to the United States to the num ber of 1.16T.3r.3. In 1900 there were 10,460.0S5 persons of foreign birth liv ing in this country. These vast migrations to the United States have been unequalel, so far as Is known, in the history of the world. Other voluntary migrations ancient or modern, and the forcible- deportalior.s known to history, such as the carrying away and dispersion of the ten tribes of Israel a' the command of the As syrian conqu-ror, Sargon, were small affairs in comparison. We may safely conclude that no such migrations across seas have ever been kn >wn, even If anything approximating them have occurred on lar.d. WEALTH OF THE SOUTH. The true value of property in the fourteen Southern States in 1906 may be conservatively estimated at $19,- 377,304,710. says the Manufacturers’ Record. In 1860 the true value of prop erty in the whole country. Including the South, was only $16,160,000,000. The increase In real wealth In the South during the year approximates $2,666,956,156. which means an increase at the rate of about $7,280,000 a day, including ,Sundays and holidays. Judge "Plain Dick” Russell can at least congratulate himself that “youth is" his “only crime.” Possibly Mr. Cortelyou was afraid he would get the political funds mixed up with "Uncle Sam's" potty cash if he carried his party chairmanship into the treasure with him. Mr. Hardman’s physicians say he needs absolute rest for perhaps a week or ten days more. Ry that time the commissioners' inquiry will doubtless have passed him. It was a close shave, though.

Con grotsman Gillespie, of Texas, will wa Ste his lime introducing EMPLOYERS’ LIABILITY ACT. Two Federal courts have declared unconstitutional the act recently passed by Congress "relating to the liability of common carriers," and pop ularly known as the “employers’ liabil ity act.” The law was enacted under the commerce clause of the Federal Constitution and it provides that every common carrier engaged in trade or commerce between the States or with foreign nations "shall be liable to any Its employer, or. in the case of his rub, his personal representative, r all damages which may result from the negligence of any of Its officers, agent-, or employes, or by reason of any defect or insufficiency due to its iarence in its cars, engines, anpli- -s. machinery, track, roadbed, ways, corks.” It further provides that in ins brought to recover damages personal injuries the fact that th Senator Tillman’s tender regard for the welfare of the Filipinos as mani fested in his objecil- n to sending the brutal negro soldiers there is most beautiful to see.

Harris, of Mannheim, gives the following concrete examples of the cumbersome methods sometimes adopted by foreign agencies—probably of their own choosing—that he says would no: be tolerated a day in the United States. This consulate has knowledge of a small American life insurance policy-, handed to the applicant five weeks after the medical examination, with no question in dispute .and no word of information in the meantime whether policy would be issued or not. AVith the issue of this policy and the pay- ' ment of the two first premiums upon it, the offices at Now York, London, Paris, Berlin and Frankfort, together ! with a local agent, have each had to do. The consulate has knowledge of an American resident of this district who desired an American file case for bis office. He applied to the local agent in the town in which he lives and was SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION. Taere has been tnueh comment on tiie important decision of Secretary Strain in the South Carolina case, that State Governments can aid in bringing laborers from Europe for ibe good of the State, under the law, while private employers cannot do this without vio lating the law. Discussing the sub ject, “Raymond.” writing from AA'ash- ington to the Chicago Tribune, point edly observes: In the South, and in many of the AVestern States, it would be a blessing to the community if the States would systematically en- courage bringing in to their own borders first-el.tss industrial and agricultural lab rers. The threat and curse of tile whole Immigra tion situation today lies In the fact that hundreds of thousands of gen erally undesirable Immigrants from south Italy from the Balkan Prov ince. and from the Jewish pale of Russia come to this country of their own motion without any as sistance whatever and till up the slums of Xew A’ork and Boston. It Is believed by Commissioner- General Rarg' tit and others that if the Southern States cm secure the establishment of permanent steam ship lines to Savannah. Charles ton, Mobile end Xew Orleans from the northern ports of Europe, as well as from the Mediterranean, a good deal of tlte tide of immigra tion which is clogging Xew York nnd Boston wid 1„> diverted to ward the South. There is an im mense field of Jab r there which never can he -a’isfW by negroes Tlte South never can ho developed as it should he developed tint:! white labor can he induced to come -into the Southern States In large numbers.

The nrohahie result on colored peonle however. would he to stimulate them to work, because when they no longer form toe sole lahor sup- ph nf that section they eottid not afford to remain In Idleness. This Northern writer shows that ho comprehends the true conditions as . 'early ns does the observant South erner when, he adds: "This today is the greatest curse of the lahor - dun - lion in the South. The negroes have no competition. They work a little while and knoek off whenever they choose because they understand only ton well their places will be waiting for them when their vacation time is o\ er, when bacon and oorn meal arc out. and when they have to go to work to satisfy their hunger. With a white element in the labor field the tendency v ill almost surely be hv sharp compe tition to teach the negro that he must «ork steadily and well to escape star vation. so that in the long mn the di version of immigration toward the south ought first of all to relieve con gestion along the Xorth Atlantic sea board: secondly, it would have a vast effect In building up the resources of the South: thirdly, it ought to uplift the industrial capacity of the negro and at the same time, by reducing his numerical proportions, take away from the South the old hogyman of negro domination.” He 1 -'might well have added that the ' hope of the South industrially and oth erwise Is In the influx of white labor- rt is now said that the Marlboroughs ers and in the romhined mierations of have agreed to “speak as they pass told that application to the agent at Berlin for price would be made.

He further added that the case could ho delivered in three weeks. All this between two a prt rt. The sam writer and there being the town where he live, chine to which he was accustomed he .directly to encourage negligence and Judge Walter Evans, of the United tates District Court for the AVc-stern istriet of Kentucky, decided a case efnre him adversely to the act on the round that Congress exceeded its ju s-diction in passing the act. ns it does ot purport to "regulate commerce pong the States,” but merely imposes liability on common carriers. Judge McCall, in the Federal District Court at Memphis, Tenn.. reached a similar conclusion in a case brought before him under 'the act. The court said: T am unable to bring my mind to the conclusion that the liability of a common carrier to its employe for injuries is interstate commerce or commerce of any character within the meaning of tthe com merce clause of the Constitution. My eonclusison it that Congress is not authorized under the commerce clause of, the Constitution of the United States to enact this legisla tion. for the reason that the rela tion of interstate common carriers engaged in interstate trade or commerce to their employes and aheir llabality to them in damages for injuries sustained in their em ployment as tlte result of the neg ligence of any of their officers, agents or employes is not com merce within (he meaning of the Constitution. But if It were the act does not undertake to regulate this relation or liability, but sim ply announces by an act of Con gress a new law on torts limited to a special class of those engaged In interstate commerce. It is perhaps a* little significant that the two Federal judges who have had occasion to pass on the constitution ality of the act. and who have decided adversely thereto, are Southern Judges who may be presumed to be infected in greater or less degree with the Southern fidelity to constitutional principles. It appears to The Tele graph that the jurisdiction in actions for damages for personal injuries to employes and others are proper sub jects for the State courts and that the rights of thp employes are pretty th'oroughly protected under the com mon law provisions as to torts which prevail generally in the respective States. The common law, which has been described as the essence of “com mon sense,” holds employers responsi ble when through negligence, defects of machinery, and such like, the em ploye or others are Injured, but It has always drawn the line at mulcting the employer for the benefit of the em ploye when the latter came to his injury nnd hurt through “contributory Air.
