lion , a property quullllc ttlon , a larger

This ijuoslloii of rostriotlng inrnlgra-
lion promises to rocelvo very earnest
iillutitloii tit the coming so-nion of eon-
, and if not thuti satisfactorily sot--
tied , uhirh ills hardly likely to In , It
will bo one of the problems which the
succeeding democratic congress will bo
called upon to solve. Tlio party tint

these who were authorized to speak in
its name during the cnmpaign

given the pn\er the democracy would
gl\o it protoctlon against the inllux
of foreign labor. How far tlio party
will ho disposed to go in this direction ,
when put to the test , it would not bo
Mifo to conjecture , for any r.tdica1 pol
icy of restriction will bo certain to en
counter the vigorous hostility of for
eign-born citi/.ens who gave most valu
able assistance to tliu domOLT.'K'y In the
late election. lrii.h-Amoricans . and
( lormanAmcric'ins will ardently resent
any policy that would k"cp their fellow-
countrymen from coming lo the United
Slates merely tor the reason that they
would come into compjtition with
American uorkingmen , and there can
bo no legislation on thU subjoot dis-
crimin-Ulng against any nice of Ku-
ronean * . The priviloijet accorded by
our immigration laws to oao people
must bo accorded to all poiple-j Iris > h.
Germans. Italians and every other na
tionality in Europe mubl be treated with
nbsoluto equality as to their right to
land on' our shores. Obviously , there
fore , the party th it pottlus this ques
tion , if itbhall devolve xipan one party
for bolutton. will have a dillicult ana
per.ploxing task to perform.
Tlio agitation of this subject is being
renewed , and a nlausiblo oxeuss for
anxiety regarding ills found in the fact
that the immigration for eight mouths
of this year ending with August was
larger thin lint of the entire preced
ing year and would have boon still
greater but for the restriction imposed by
the piesident's order. It is appre
hended tint for obvious reasons the
number of im-nigrants will bo greatly
increased next year if some stronger
chock than is provided by existing law
bo not put lo their coming. lOvcrybody
realizes the importance of the question
and there is a pretty gouoral apprecia
tion of the dillicuUics that surround it , but
undoubtedly a wise and s-ilisfactory so
lution will ba found \vi thout making any
wide or radical departure from tlio policy
which has prevailed from the founda
tion of the government , and which hits
been the great source of national
growth and development.

At the last session of the United
States senate , lion. John Sherman in-
troducetl a proposition , which in still
pending , to repeal what is known as the
Sherman silver act , providing for the
purchase by the government of-1,600,000
ounce-rot silver bullion monthly. Mr.
Shurmun also made a speech in the sen
ate in which , icferring to this act , ho
said : "J can say myself thnt there tire
possibilities in the future in respect to
that law which would nuke mo 113 anx
ious to ropoiil It as I was reluctant lo '
vote for It. * * * In the llr.st place
it has disappointed our expectations in 1
one particular the purchase of largo
suniK o ! olivet1 , including Uio whole
American product , did not slop the de
cline of silver. That hhowr" , therefore ,
that the decline does not occur from
causes here , but that it occurs from
causes abroad. "
In 11 late Interview Senator Slier man
slated that he was still in favor of re-
pualing the sllvot- act and should bu
clad to forward a movement looking to
that end. Ho said thnt the act had for
homo lime boon a source of umbArrass-
ment , and if It continucB on the staluto
bonks it will prove us annoying to Mr ,
Cleveland's lulmlnidtriitlon IIH it bun
proved to President Harrison's , The
house- stood in the way of the repeal of Iho
act nt the liiHt session and Senator Sher
man thought Hint would bo Iho dillieulty
at the coining session , unless the demo
cratic leouors who f.vvor repeal c-ui per
suade the majority in the house to agree
lo the proposition. It would seem thnt
this might be ilono in view of the fact. :
Unit the democratic platform dunonncas
"tho republican legislation known as
the Shurin in act of 18'U ' ) us a cowardly
mukesliift fraught with possibilities of
danger in the future , which Bliould
make all of Its supporters , as well as its
author , anxious for it * hpucdy repeal. "
With thin utterance of the national con
vention In favo.of the rajual of the sil
ver hiw , and suuh loaders us Carlisle
and Hill committed to it , the democrats
I in the house will hardly bo able to jus
tify Ihoinsolvos In a rofuwal to suupo-t a
proportion for repeal. Still a majority
of them tire liKely to oppose such a
wroposltion unless they can have assur
ance of more radical legislation regard-
intr bilvor. All these who voted at Iho
flrst bosaioti for thoireo coinage of silver
may be- expected to antagonize the
abandonment of the present law , under
which the silver product of this cotin-
Vry is taken by the government , if they
HCO no piospcct of getting frca coinage
In place of it , The south as eagerly de
sires free and unlimited coinage us do
ttie silver mining state ? , and It must nut
bo forgotten that the southern element
of the democracy is now the dominant
clement.
As free coinage wa ? defeated ut Ihe
first I ] session of the present congress It Is
not 11 lily to bo successful at the coming
session , though douutloM Its advocates
will claim something for It In connection
with democratic victory In the nnlionnl |
election. At any rale no free coinage (
bill can become a law during the present ;
administration. It cannot bo said , i
therefore , thai the outlook for legisla- i
lion regarding silver by this congress is .
altogether favorable. The question j
will recivo attention. That Vutch is
assured. Senator Sherman will renew
his I proposition , to repeal the existing
law 1 and it Is more than prouablc that
other silver measures will bo Introduced ,
but It Is not likely thatanything will bu
c done ] beyond another extended dl cus-
sion of the subject and peilmps a vote
or two which wil' ' demonstrate that a
largo 1 majority of Iho democratic repro-
Bonlaliroi In congress are still in favor
of the free coinage of silver.

There is some talk lt < democratic cir
cles tothoolTcctthatlho IMty-tlilrd con-
grcbs may repudiate the policy uf sub
sidizing mail steamship lines , and It
has 1 been st itcd Unit there is n possibil
ity i that anpropriatlons for such service
may i ho' infused. This now ocean mail
sorv'co , now only uarllally established ,
Is I boinsr carried on under contracts with
Iho government which cannot bo an
nulled i , though a democratic congress
could doelina Inappropriate the money
required and thus subject the govern
ment to actions for recovery in the
court ot claim * by the steamship com
panies with which agreements hnvo
been entered into. There nro now five
of these lines carrying United States
mails to South American ports under
contracts who o validity cannot bo de
nied , and it is only a few weeks since
the government made further contracts
with the International Steamship com-
puny , the most important of all , for mail
service bHwcscn this country and Ant
werp and Liverpool. The famous
*
steamships City f Paris and City of
New Yorls and five others , upon which
work is about to begin in a Philadelphia
shipyard-vill belong to this line , which ,
is si thoroughly American enterprise.
The contract with the International
line does not take oirect until lS)5whon ! )
the new fillips are to bo completed and
ready for service.
II retrenchment shall be found neces
sary it is to bo hopcl that it may taUo
some other form , as the government
mail contracts now promise to give
a groit stimulus to the building and
operating of steamships in the United
Staters. The contracts thai have al
ready been onleroJ into , however , are
said to bo perfectly binding , so that
auart from any patriotic considerations
the congressional action suggosipd
would onlail loss upon Iho country. The
proper thing for the democratic parly
to do is to endorse the republican policy
of encouraging the revival ot our mer
chant marine.

Petty partisanship in the Board of
Education , trivial as it may seem , af
fords pi oof of the soundness of the posi
tion long ago taken by TIIK BKI : in behalf -
half of a nonpartisan board , composed
of men who have a deep interest in tlio
welfare of our public schools.
There appears to bo no good excuse
for the delay in making provision for
the relief of the schools from tlio over
crowded condition that has for some
time been a source of annoyance and a
just cause of complaint. It , was prom
ised months ago that the Central school
would > eon bo ready for use and that
the overcrowded condition of the High
school would bo relieved. Tt now ap
pears that nothing is being done in that
direction and that there is no immedi
ate prospect of any action.
No explanation of the causes which
have occasioned the delay in the work
upan school buildings will bo satisfac
tory to the people. All of the parties to
the various disputes and squabbles by
which progress has boon hindered have
excused of their own by which somebody
else is shown lo bo la blame ; but the
fact remains that such personal mutters
have no place in the deliberations of a
school board and the average citizen is
not concerned in them. What the people
ple waul Is action , intelligent , uiiKollisli
and onergolic action in behalf of the
highest public interests. There ought
to bo an end of personal disputes and
potty politic * , in Uio licmrd of Education.

The moro the democrats and Independents
In some of the counties In the southern part
of thu slate try to explain the peculiar clr-
curr.stHures painting lo the nllezed promises
and nleueos miido between them prior to
election , the moro conclusively do they
establish the fuel that such n tle-nn actually
existed. It now develops that tnere was
sunn u deal In York county , but It was upset
nt tbo last minute. G. L. Moissnor , ono of
llio democratic nominees for tbo house , has
mudo a statement for the purpose of reliev
ing the publm mind of the impression thut
Mr. Price , ono of thu independent nominees ,
nublielv offered the support of thn Inde
pendent members or tbo legislature for
Mr. Drynn for United S ntoj senator
provided the democratic legislative ticket In
that county would bo withdrawn. Mr.
Moissnor bays that while Mr. I'neo did not
make that statement personally in public ,
thn offer was made at u private meeting at
Which both of the gentlemen numoit wore
present. Thu proposition counts for nothing
in that case , for the democratic ticket was
not withdrawn nnd the republican nomineon ,
Messrs. Kecklov and Johnson , were elected ,
dut It simply goes tosiiowthiit such u deal
'
was attemp'tod by the uomocrats und inde
pendents in some of tbo counties of the alalo ,
und lends color to tbo assertion that it was
buccessful in certain localities nna that tliuro
are Independent moniburs of the legislature
elect wtio are pledgo'l to vote for a democrat
and will not support an Independent for tbo
senate.
Judge Shields says that tbo senatorial outcome -
como will ( tenonit. on Iho personnel of the
candidates and the personal feeling of tto
members of tde independent party , whoworo
formerly republicans and democrats , toward
the parlies that they loft. "I think tnm llio
democrats , or somu of them at least , feel
very friendly to ward Paddock , for ho wasn't so
very much opposed to them on too tariff and
on some other matters , and I believe thnt ho
would be moro satisfactory to our party ibnn
liny oilier republican ronld be , Ilo voted
ngalnstlbo MclCmlov bill , or a part of U ,
and bo is not regarded as a very stoop pro-
toclionlst. "
And now conies another legislative con

however , that the plurality of oven ono was

thnt the French poonlo should bo profoundly
