THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
During the frcil year ending with
last Jane tly immigration to the
United Skvlos amounted to 789 003
nearly eight hundred thousand. About
120,000 moro immigrants arrived last
year than in 1880 , For the thrco
years 1830 , 1831 nnd 1882 , the people -
plo landing , und settling in this coun
try from foreign lands numbered 1-
5)15o ) , ! > 8 or only obout eighty-four
thousand short of two millions , Ger
many and Austria cent nbout ono-
third of last years immigrants. The
immigration from Kjgland exceeded
that from Ireland by between
eight nnd nine thousand. Nearly
ono hundred thousand came
from Canada , a portion of whom ,
however , merely came through Can
ada from Europe on their way to the
United States.
The few figures given above arc full
of aignificanco and importance. They
show how powerful is the current setting
ting in towards this country from
other lands , nnd no doubt to nome do-
grco explain changes in American
political and social lifn. About four
percent , of our fii'y millions of people -
plo have landed in this country from
Europe within three years. A largo
proportion of ( ho men among
thcuo people are now voters.
Neatly all of them nro laborers
Thus at once they touch American
society at two vital points , the ballot
box end the labor market. The same
percentage of foreign influence- thrown
into almost any other country in the
world , in the came space of time , and
invested with powers in any nemo
comparable with those conferred by
our lawn nrd institutions , would
probably precipitate n revolution.
But thua far , while it cannot bo
claimed that America his not felt the
strain us well r.s derived , on the nthor
hand , benefit from this stream of fresh
lifo poured into it , our vast
territorial area , much of it yet unoc
cupied , and thu peculiar elasticity of
our institutions , and of the temper
of our people have combined to pro
tect thi ) country from the evils that
without ouch conditions might have
ensued.
It does not follow that the Hood of
immigration will continue for n num
ber of years us great aa it has during
the past three years , but the iudlci-
tiona now favor the appearance of as
largo , if a not larger number thia year
than came over in 1831-82. The
most of them ara at once attracted to
our wosaern states , and sooner or Inter
disappear from the east to aettlo
on the cheap lands , awaiting settle
ment and tillage. The day has gene
by when fear of the capture of our
country by the foreign ulomont was
used aa a political bugbear. Com
munities of now settlers thus organized
are quickly invaded by thu school
house , the newspaper and the church ,
those three powerful agcntn of Ameri
can civilization , and at the expiration
of a few ycara at the furthest the
strangers with thnir children are
assimulatcd into the body politic and
become loyal , intelligent itnd capable
American citizins.
THE C AL.IFORNI A. PLATFORM.
The republicans of California have
formulated the pnoition of the people
of that state regarding the legal status
of the corporations and the demands
of every class of citizens on thu Pa
cific coast for l.uva regulating and re
stricting the monopolies. No loss
than seven planks in the party plat
form uro taken up with the discussion
of anti-monopoly ( subjects , as follows ;
Sixth Corporations are creature * ol
law r.nd subject to law , and all legal
menna should bo taken to render il
imporsiblo for aggregations of cupitn !
to become oppressive.
Seventh While wo mobilize the
fact that thu building of railroads has
provid ono of the moat potent ageii-
oilit : in the development und progress
of the country , wo ut the oumo time
roruombur Unit the great power which
authorized such roads to bo built ,
including the novereign light to
eminent domain , MUS grunted to
the railroad companies by the
pnople , for the people , und on the
aolo ground that tlio building of rail-
ro.tda IH u public ntu and such rail
roads public lnghwn > a. Wo drclaru
Unit railroad companies , the camn i\
individuals , should bj dealt with in
fairness and without injustice , but by
reason of their relation to the people
they mutt bo kept subordinate to the
interest of the people within govern
mental control. The people should
bj protected by law from any nbusu
or unjust oxuetioiiB. Unjuat discrim
ination against individuals or Ideal
ities uhoiild bo prohibited , Equal
service upon equal terms to all per
sons ahould bo enforced , Charges for
traiuporting poraous and property
should bo limited to what is required
to piy the legitimate expensed of
operating such railroads , their main
tenance in uood repair und n fair
interest on their actual value , Such
vitluo ahould bear the aamo relation to
their assessed value as the vuluo of
other properly does to iu assessed
vcluu. Charges in excess of thia nro
in violation of thu fundamental law
of publio use which nllowa railroads
to bo built , nnd wo hcroby pledge our
nominees for railroad cummimonera
to thu enforcement of thcau ptiuuiplcb

dicated , instead of the mcrconury ex
action of all the tratlio will bjur ,
Eiuhtli- Taut the proper public au
thorities ahould not refuno to uut in
regulating freights and fares by re mm
of Jack of oxaot infornution in any
particular , if such infornution oould
M given but is refuted by the rail
road corporation ; but in auoh case
thesu uuthorititjs should act as near
: orroctly M poss'blc , tking care ,
iowover , lhat the public interest
should not suflor , and holding them
selves in rcadtnns to correct any
error , if error tlicro should be , upon
the corporation giving the necessary
Information to enable Biich error to be
corrected ,
Ninth Wo denounce the railroad
contract system as a deliberate at
tempt to utialavo the cotnmerco and
trade of the whole Pacific Const , and
subjugate them to the control and caprice -
price i f thu railroad companies. It is
againtt public policy , beciueo it nooks
to tnnku ueo of the national bounty to
break drmn hculthful competition
which it is the policy of the nation to
encourage. It is uiijuat and oppres
sive , because it discriminates in favor
of the strong at the expense of the
weak , and offers bribes to the rich
which it collects back from the poor
It is arbitrary and tyrannical , because
it arrogantly interferes with the free
dom of trade and proposes to prohibit
thoao who make use of ita tranporta-
tion facilities from doing business with
any ono who refuses to submit to its
dictation. Its existence is n threat
and its abolition a necessity. The re-
Hublicaii party pledges itself to pro
hibit the making of ouch contracts by
proper legislation to the extent , if
nocesfary , of making the eamo a pub
lic offence.
Tooth Wo demand of congress
legislation governing the carrying
trade between the states und territo
ries. The raten of freights and faros
of all railroads ongagcd in such trade
should bo justly regulated and re
stricted , nnd any unjust discrimina
tion between persona and places
should bo absolutely prohibited.
Eleventh And wo are opposed to
( 'ranting nny further subsidies to com-
panics or corporations , and in favor of
the immediate revocation of all land
grants and subsidies forfeited by non-
tullilmont of the conditions of such
grants , and th restoration of such
lands to the public domain , to bo held
exclusively for actual eottlere.
Twelfth All property ahould pay
its just share of taxation. The prop
erty of corporations , like other prop
erty , should bo Ks'.essed at its actual
caohvalui- , and the corporations nnd
individuals uhould bo compelled to
pay their jint taxes without abate
ment , diminution or compromise.
THE BIK ; commends the action of
the California ropublicina to members
of thu party in thia atnto. The seven
planks published above are worthy to
bo transferred into the platform of the
republican party in Nebraska. They
deal in no half-hearted way with the
question of the hour. They leave no
ground for trimming or evasion on
the part of candidates. Every
aspirant for any public office
on Mich a platform would
bo pledged to active work
in the. ii.oeroata of the people as
against monopoly exactions and could
bo hold strictly to his record. There
has been too much wriggling on this
question in other states and the Cali
fornia republican convention may ba
congratulated on the backbone they
have nhown in meeting the iaauo
squarely and planting their party
( irmly on suJi a ringing platform ,
which is drawn in accordance with the
sentiments of the people whom they
roproscntod.
llraditrcct'a thinks that business
men who are interested in the pro
curement of u now bankruptcy law
ahould not intermit their diurts dur
ing the congressional recasa to secure
the passage of such an act. Oongroj
will meet again in December , and the
matter is likely to como up early in
the session. Thuro arc two bills pend
ing in the Donate respectively known
aa thu Equity and Lowell plans. The
former is on the calendar , nnd ii in
charge of Senator Ingalla. The Low
ell bill , for reasons already explained
in these columns , is greatly preferred
by the business men of thu country ,
and Senator Hoar will make a special
effort to have it passed in liuu
for the equity bill. Brndstrcot'o be
lieves that if the frienda of the Lowell
plan nro in eaineat they may get eomo
kind of a bankruptcy act through the
senate luforu the Christmas holidays.
This done , a determined ollort might
secure its passage through the houeo ,
where the judiciary committee is
ready with a bill which , in its main
features , closely resembles the Lowell
bill. It will bo borne in mind that
the term of the present congress ex
pires on the -1th of March next , and
that the friends of a bankruptcy l w
have , deducting the usual holiday ro-
ccsa , Ices than three months in which
to secure its enactment.

HilLvUiphUTic t.
la vio\v of the tendency of courts ,
only recently manifested , to interpret
contracts lut eeu railroad compiniib
and passengers by the same rules
which govern ordinary contract/
bahoovea paaaongerj to read their
tickets and note well the contracts
they are making , as well as the rep-
roaeutntioua made to them by the
companies' officers. A ahort time ago
judges wcro holding that n ticket was
good until ued , und good for a ride
between the pointi named , in oithci
direction , at the option of the pur
chaser. But this can no longer ! > _
considered good law.In f u recfut
Connecticut case , nguinnt the No-v
York and Noiv England railroad , it was
decided that a limited ticket ia worth
less except for the trip npecifiud on
us face. Hero the question of : imu
does not seem to have been involved ,
but the ticket rend "Good only for ono
continuous trip ; noctop overflowed. "
Die plaintiff took the liberty , nolwith-
atanding , ot stopping over ut an inter
im-ilia to point , and jus partially used
ticket was refined when he attempted
to continue hia trip and ho wia :
ejected. Ho promptly brought suit
tor damages , but the caae finally went
agnjnet him. There are other recent
decisions that a passenger forfeits his
right to proceed on the original ticket
by stopping at a way-station without a
' 'stop over" ticket.
A passenger on the Delaware , Lack-
uwanna & Western road had pur
chased an excursion ticket from Mont-
olair , N. J. , to New Vork and return.
On the trip to New York the conduc
tor tare off a portion of the excursion
ticket and handed the paasonucr the
remainder , which ho pocketed with
out looking at it. On hia return in
the evening ho presented thia ticket ,
but the conductor refused to rrcrivu
it , as it was n ticket to Now York
from Montclair instead of for
the return , Declining to pay ,
the brakemnn was summoned ,
but while in the act of being eject
ed , and being still on the car , the pas
senger offered to pay ; but the conduo-
tor'd blood was up , and the paasengtir
was landed on thu platform of a way
station. For this ho recovered $3,000
damages ; not because hia ticket was
peed , but because the conductor hid
no right to refuse his faro when he
tendered it on the train.
On the question of limited or ex
cursion tickets , the time ot which ex
pires while the owner is still traveling ,
there are several decisions. These
all assume that the contract as to time
is a good ono and must bu observed by
the passenger , but should be con
strued liberally in hia favor.
Tno Now Yorn court of appeals
has decided that if a ticket is
punched by the conductor on the
return trip before the tini' ia expired ,
it i "used" within ihe meaning of the
contract. A St , Louis case goes fur
ther , the court saying that if the
ticket la presented tor a passage
ui > hiu the period of limitation , nuch
presentation was a using of the ticket ,
and entitles the passenger to bu car
ried to Ills destination without regard
to the eubiequent expiration of the
day of limitation of the ticket
while en route. In another
c o the plaintiff had purchased
an excursion ticket from the
Pennsylvania company from Toledo
to Washington und return , linited
to expire on Mirch 10 , Ilo loft Wash
ington , on hia way b ck , ut an hour
which by the railroad time-table
should have brought him to Toledo at
10:40 : p. in. on March 10. By the do-
teiitiou of trains ho did not reach
Pi.Uburg till March 12 , and the con
ductor on the train from Pittsburg to
Toledo refused to receive hia ticket on
the ground of limitation , and the
passenger was ejected , The coupon
presented was uupunched , and the
rillroad on which the delay occurred
was owned by a different corpora
tion thnn the one from vhoss car he
was ejected. Plaintiff claims that his
contract was wholly with the Pennsyl
vania cnmpatiy , which had stimulated
for his transportation within that
time without regard to connecting
roads which was either its partners or
agents , That ho did not complete
the trip within the time expressed on
the ticket was no fault of his. The
court and jury taking a similar view
of the case , the result wns a verdict
and judgment for the plaintiff.

iluat Pay or Drop.
Detroit J'rco Press ,
A justice of the pence in the inter
ior of Michigan had a caao before him
Bomo days ago in which the defendant ,
who had been arrested aa a auspicious
character , and pleaded guilty to va
grancy , was aont to the Detroit house
of correction for oix months. A con
stable took him in charge to deliver
him hero , and as the man efcmcd
rather pleased at the idea of securing
board und lodging for sis months ho
waa not handcuffed. As the train was
about ready to go the constable moved
across the aisle to talk politics with a
friend , and pretty POOH they wore hav
ing it hot und heavy. When the con
ductor came in for tickets ho held out
his hand to the prisoner , and the lat
ter shook his head and replied :
"I don't pay faro. "
"Aha ! You don't , eh ? Well , now ,
you pay or git ! "
"I won't pay ! "
"Then you'll git ! When wo slow up
at the crossing you jump off. If 1
find you on the train after wo pass
there I'll give you a bounce that you
won't forgot ! "
In two minutes the train began to
slow , and the prisoner walked to the
door and piaked a eoft spot and dropped -
pod off , When the train had made
another mile the conductor hold out
his hand to the constable and received
two tickets.
"Who is the extra ono forho /
asked ,
"For that prisoner over thero. "
"What prisoner } '
"Why , that id ! "
Then there waa ravine ; and gnashing
f teeth and hurrying up and down ,
but it was no use
"Sorry , " said the conductor , as ho
passed along , ' 'but when a passenger
bays he won't pay f.\ro on my train I

Concerning the Iowa pool trouble
the Chicago Tribune says.
"Tho general managers of the vari
ous roads leading from this city to
Council Hlnffj hold a meeting ycter
day at the Grand Pacific hotel for the
purpose of taking seine action regard
ing the admission of the Milwaukee A ,
St. Paul into the Iowa pool. Ever
ninco the completion of the Chicago
MiUnukco & St Paul's Council Blulft
extension it lias been rumored tha
this reid would refuse to join thu
pool , nnd that it would make wit
upon the other Iowa lincc. There
was no truth in thcao rumors
Tlio Milwaukee & St. Paul since ,
the opening of its now line has no
been detected in taking business
leas than the regular rates charged by
the other lines , and the only thiuj ,
that could bo justly charged againi
the road wan that it had given nnnua
passes to a number of prominent shippers
pors at Council Bluffs aud Omaha
This , of course , cannot bo considcrei
a great crime , since nearly every now
road opening up for business makes
special eflorts to gain the good will o
stiippcra. Yesterday waa the first
time that a regular effort waa made to
get the Milwaukee & St. Paul to joii
the pool , and , while this was not ac
complished at this meeting , there is
no doubt that the road will join aa
soon as eomo side issues have been ad
justed , the manager of the St. Paul
making thia a condition before his
road would join iho Iowa
pool on the terms proposed ,
which is the samu proportion ol
the business ns the other lines arc
now receiving. There were preMenl
at yesterday's mcotiog Marvin Hug-
hitt , Northwestern ; T. J. Potter ,
Burlingtun ; R. 11 C.tbleRock Ishuid ;
John C. Gault. Wnbosh , and S. S.
aierrill , Milwaukee & St. Paul Mr.
Merrill stated that his road was ready
to j 3in the Iowa pool upon the terms
proposed namely : that his road reCeive -
Ceivo the aamo aharg of the business
aa the other lines , but before doing eo
he would like to see a cottlement of
the difficulties between hia road , the
Northwestern and the Rock Wand re
garding the Minneapolis and St. Paul
business. Ho did not think that the
Iowa roada were justified in finding
fault because hia road had issued
passes to a few frienda of tha senoral
superintendent at Council Bluff * and
Omaha. The Rock Island when it
opsncd its "Albert Lea" route did not
aut aa fairly towards the St. Paul and
Minneanolia pool of the Northwestern
and Milwaukee tfc St. Paul roada.
Not only did the Rock Island secure
business by issuing paeaes , but
it did not always maintain the rates ot
the pooled lines. Ho thought it but
juat that before entering < he Iowa
pool Bomo action should bo taken to
atop the fight between the Minnesota
roada. Ho was ready to admit the
Rock Island into the St. Paul pool ,
and ho hoped the Northwestern would
ceasu to offer any objections toward
such an arrangement. Mr. Hughitt
stated that ho was satisfied to admit
the Rock Island into the St. Paul
pool. Mr. Cubli , of the Rock Island ,
aiid he was ready to enter into nego
tiations looking towards a settlement
of the Minnesota troubles , aa ho was
no moro desirous than any of the
other managers to have a fight on hi ?
hinds. It was thereupon agreed that
the managers of the Rock Island ,
Northwestern aud Milwaukee & St.
Pdul should meet next Tuesday and
try to settle their troubles regarding
the Minnesota business After hav
ing accomplished thia object notice
ia to bu given of another meeting of
the Iowa pool liiie-a to reorganize the
Iowa pool by taking in the Milwaukee
& St. Paul.
