We are authorized to anuonnce Joseph

Schools.
The rumor that ex-Secretary
Elkins would remove from West
Virginia Is untrue.
The West Virginia sufferers are
still at Washington, but the good
things come painfully slow.
Moke than twenty thousand
Italian immigrants will land in
New York next month. These
new comers mean no good for us.
They are not the kind of people
we need and their presence here
is rapidly forcing upon us serious
problems. Let the American
people unite in shutting out this
stream of paupers. This should
not be a political question.
A woman at Dayton, Ohio, has
been committed to an insane asy
lum for maintaining that Presi
dent Cleveland owes her some
thing and will not pay it. If such
a belief is proof of insanity we
have enough lunatics in Harrison

asylum.

The Telegram is always
ready to assist inquiring mortals
in garnering from the fields- of
knowledge, so long as the in
quirers keep within the limits of
its established lines. The News
is indeed a very anxious and per
sistent inquirer. But for the
Editor Telegram to take tbe
editors of the News?"figure
heads, cast into this breathing
world scarce half made up"?and
leading them to tbe crystal pool
of understanding, soak them in
its intellectual waters, is asking
too much. We are too busy
enrolling new subscribers and
sending out the latest news to
stop and give these erratic voy
agers oil the ocean of journalism
the rudiments of an English edu
cation and drill them in tbe
Roman Catholic catechism. If
the senior editor would connect
himself with the Keeley Institute
and a night school and the junior
member could use a fish diet, and
by adopting a hoopskirt, gain
admittance to a nunnery, they
might reach the goal of their
ambition.
THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Don't be alarmed brother, the

tndwe certainly ought not to
lIIow trifles to unsettle us.
Because a~paper in Sacra
nento. Cal., a few days ago made
v f0w deregatory remarks about
he Legislature then in session
vt that place, the solons be
came highly incensed and im
mediately passed a bill sub
mitting to a vote of the people
the proposal to change the capi
tal of the State to San Jose.
vVhere under the sun would our
State capital go if it were moyed
to a place whose paper hadn t
shown up the reckless and ex
travagant actions of the Legisla
ture just adjourned.
Hon. John. J. Davis is one of
the deserving stalwarts in the
Democratic party and his ap
pointment to an honorable posi
tion would be a graceful act on
the part of this administration.
The county executive com
mittee will meet Saturday to
select a candidate for county
superintendent of free schools.
The candidates who are an
nounced on the Republican side
are Mr. W. Frank Stout, Mr.
Arthur Clark and Mr. W. A.
Marsh, and the Democratic aspir
ants are Mr. Joseph Rosier and
Mr. George McKinley. This
office is not properly a political
office but the Australian oallot
I system, requiring candidates to
be selectad in a formal manner,
makes the political solution the
one most generally adopted
throughout the State.
