But white there are eo many unemployed men, no one should wish for more immigrants. INUIVIIll'tLtn IN DKtS-J. 'I here was once a time when Senators ar.d frUprestnta'ives scarcely dared appear in the Capitol without wearing a tall suit of broadcloth cat according to the latest style. But in the past tew years a marked ditference has taken place. Nearly every member is now said to be fashioning ac ^ ccrdiog to a g? as-you-please style, aud dresses juat as he pleases and no remarks insinuating that he is \ iolatirg the bound« of prop-iety are called tor:h. In fact the members have com« to r»gard their man oer of dre?s nobody's business bat their own. and the public have acquiesced. ft will be recollected that a considerate breeze w»« created in W ashmgtoo last fall bv a certain Cabinet officer appea-in* at a reception without having on the spike-iad coat customary on such occasions. He declared that the whole Cuited States army could not m-»ke him weir the sp ke ta.l it he did not want to. This was an innovation tHat fashiona ble society cons dered itself not yet rea-iy to appreciate. Bat this was no graater innovation than * that introduced by the members of Corgress in their go-dfryou-please style ot dress, and society may get used to it by and by Aa Washington during the session ol Congress is the great fashion-center to whit-bare gathered the tlife of oar land, the sentiments promulgated there have considerable in tiaence throughout the coun try. Tne etiqaette of the White Hoase is taken as tbe model of the society through out the land. Whenever any new depart ure in etiquettp is announced in Washing ton it is a theme of conversation in society everywhere. Witness, the Cabinet officer minus the spike tail coat, and the changes made by the different ladies who have pre sided in the White House. Then, if great er individuality in dre.-s becomes fashion able in Washington it will to a great ex tent become »o e'sewhere. What effect this will have apon dresses cat Jecnlette can only be cocj-cured. DON'T NEJCD NUKE IMMIGRANT-. The fact that the immigration to oar coantry is diminishing is giving some ot oar contemporaries trouble. Bot if a thoughtful, common sense view of the mat ter istak«n, this fact ought to be gratify-1 ing Here is something from the American Manufacturer that is worth thinking about : "The fact is, we don't need immigrants ot any kind. There «as a time when we did, but that time is long past. Why do people leave Europe and Asia and go to ne* countries ? It is because there are in the former countries too many people to the square mile, which causes a terrible strug gle for a bare existence, and a eery bare one at that. Ia it of advantage to the people of this country—except a lew who own too much already—and their desc<>«dants, to bring a boat io as short a time as posmhla the same socdi tioos aa those from which the people of { overcrowded Europe and Asia ara making j treoModoas efforts to escape? Let as coo* < cider bow rapidly line conditions ara ap- 1 proachiog aa and oar posterity. Oar [ \ population^ ha* thus far doubled every 33 rear*. If tbia rat« cf increase continuée [ill 1980, when many no* living will bare :hildren upon tbe aiage of action, the pop ' dation will be 400,000,000, which is equal to 133 persona to each square mile of terri torj, compared with about 80 to the square mile (or the whole of Europe at the present time. It is desirable i that within the brief space oi a hun- j dred years our population shall be almost twice as dense aa that of over-crowded Eu rope? It makca one ahudder to think of the condition of the peop'e of the country aa it will ba when tbe population baa reached 400,000,000; and when it ia real ized that this may occur during the Uvea of oar grandchildren it brings the solemn subject still closer home. "Tbey are enemiea to (he weliare of their country and their posterity who try to hasten the ilia which afflict the people of over crowded Ejrope and Asia. "We bave a glorious heritage. Let us not fooüthly and wickedly throw it away." That there is much truth in the above b€comes more tvideu: whea we consider the fact that there are now thousands of unem ployed men in tbe country. The majority of the immigrants that now come here, are those willing to werk for lower w<»;cres and take the places of our men who are already employed. Every thousand of the immigrants, then, must make mattere worse hn't this phase of the question of aa much importance lo ourworkiugmen aa the taritf ia?

Brachtet*, (New York.) the weekly j financial and commercial newspaper puo lishad by the Bradstreet Mercantile Ageu cv, is now in its thirteenth volume, and stands at the head of all the tiouucial and commercial periodicals ot this country, and is surpassed by none in Europe. In the twelve» volumts already issued c*n be tcui.d more originally and carefully pre pacep matter—tacts aud (inures—relating to bminess topics than can be found in any other periodical for the same period. Nor is it surpriaimr that it has reached and maintains this position, for it is own ed and published by a large corporation— The Bradstreet Company, with its cash capital and assets of over $1,100,000, its nearly 100 brunch offices, and its small army of over 1,600 salaried em ployes and Ü3.C00 regular corre ! apondents. This organization makes ; extensive investigations into iud is- ' rial and other matiers, gathers lull report« of the condition and prospects ot the lead ing crops, and exhibits regularly the state ot buainees, practically making Brad street's the authority as to the condition and prospects of the commercial world. It needs bnt a glauce at the newspaper to Batisfy any one that its publishers have been ambitions more than avaricious, for in no way are i's {»ajes made up to cater to the popular laata or to serve the pur poses ot loud or insinuating advertisers. No trivial or sensational matters are ever to be tound in its columns, but tbe whole "J00 large p*gpa. a year are 80 solidly packed with news, reports, discussions, de cisions aad data as to make Bradstreet a an acceptable and almoat indispensable journal tor progressive business men. * ** The March Mayatine of American History present! an appetizing fable ot contents Every article ta of unpor ance aad ot superior merit.

But John had the bulge on the Prosecuting Attorney and got a continuance until next term on ac couut of the necessary absence of material i witnesses. Public opinion in this matter is favorable to the Cartwrights. There iê no douot that the boys are tough, but those persons who know Thomas F.

SfK. lal Ocrr'jpmdenee of /A# jumUy Iitgister. Washington, D. C., Marh 6.—"A very arge per cent, of the people throughout he coantry seem to be beit on evangeliz ng President Cleveland," observed one of he Chief Executive'« moat intimate friends :o day. "But I presume there is nothing strange in that," continued be, "for I am :old the Presidents from fie foundation of :he Government have keen more or less id vised by the Caristians as to their spir itual welfare. Mr. Cleveland was telliug tue the other day that he sometimes thought there was an impression in the minds of too many good folks that he pre sented a nie opporiuniy for the mission brie*. I at-ked him wky he thought so', and Le 'aughiogly replied "'On1 if the advica givea me was con centrated on Africa it would civilize and CbrUiianize that whole wild and wicked and dark country.' ' I had to laugh, for there was so much seriousness and yet dry humor in it all Mr. Cleveland realties, as he is reminded so often and so forcibly, that in a certaiu way he sets an example to the world; but it worries him a little, I can see, to be told by hundreds of people some times in one week that he ought to let his light so shine, etc. He believes that these people must think he is very wicked, or else that he is the spiritual guardian of fifty millions of people. Speaking of this point he eaid to me: •' 'A President or King or other high and national officer should recognize the su preme power in every act committed. A man or woman should never get eo exalted as to fail to do this Only mention in a public way of this reverer.ee can a President make Now, few public men have as little oppor tuni;y to disseminate personal views as I bave. If I were never eo anxious to make people believe I was the embodiment of goodness it would be up hill work to create that impression, for a President cannot cry hij wares from the housetops. If this ad vice about being a Christian and all that, coming iu every form and from every direction, is for ray own guidance, very well. If it is to change the general course of my public career it is ill given. One thing I am bound f>hall never be la'd at my grave—the charge that I was a hvpoerite 1 like Christians They are the salt of the earth. A hypocrite, to my mind, is the basest of sinners." "The President must be a little annoyed by these importunities, is ha not?' I asked. "iNot in theieist. un tae contrary, uo is grateful for tha interest shown in him, if it is respectfully shown. He doesn't seem to comprehend the fact, however,that fill Presidents have had to withstand this ordeal. Th6 letters he receives are not the only evidenced given him of a desire that he shall be a moral man. You would be «ijrprised how many Christian people breathe an audible jnyer lor him, how ever, when they «.'rasp his hand; and it all has a very perception eltect upon Mr Cleveland, for he said that he didn't be lieve auy man or woman with 'sense and a heart could tail to ba affected by the prayers ol an earnest people, when he or she knew »hey were so constantly delivered. It has been ascertained lhat the six pen ny r»kte postal telegraph system adopted by F.ngland on October 1st, last, has proven very successful. Sixper.ee is the price adopted for messages of twelve words, ad dreBt> included, to* all distances, just like letters are conveyed anywhere iu «his country for two cents. Penny postage is also a great success in Great BriUin, and the postal pavings banks established have given uniform satisfaction. All these propositions are biing agitated ill the United Slate«, and the success they have attaiaed in John Bull's country is poiuted to as evidence to prove that they can be successful in the United States, and that we can afford to establish them. * * * "A great many of the members of the House, who hpeak altogether extempora neously, have good reaBon for doing so, ' said an old stenographer at the Capitol. "Why do .hey not writetheir speeches?' "Because the? cannot," was the firm reply. "I could name a score of meu who often speak on the ftaor of the House «ho couldn't write a speech they would let any one see. Their gram mar, their orthography, their composition, are horrible.* But they get up and grind out a disjointed discourse and the oflicial reporters make a pretty fair speech out of it. You'd he surprised to know how many of those fellows aek one reporter to take all of their speech, so that be can lix it all up for them. Why, there aro fifty men in the House who couldu't vrite a speech, and more than a hundred who couldn't write a newspaper article three inches long that any publish er would print. Why? Because they've no ability.'' * * * It is a strange how many people think tha' the Capital of the United States is a place where all their ills will be healed and all their troubles ended. Many country people think that if they could only get to Washington and to the big, white Capitol, then the Congressmen would listen to them and helpthem, and many bare learn ed to their sorrow how untrue their beliçf «s. Only yesterday I saw an old woman, fully seventy-five years of age, wandering about the corridors of the big building in searc h of a friend to h«*lp her. At last she got upstairs in one of the lobbies of the House gallery, and an old, one-legged, sol dier doorkeeper had given her his chair to sit in and rest herself, for she bad no other place to seat herself and rest her weary bones. She had a picturesque look, this old woman, tnougn ner ciotnts were o a and worn. On her head waa an old bon net ol a style of many years ago. A white band of rusching was inside the great rim, and large and ru*ty black ribbon tied it under her chin Her tace was ifrinkled and care worn, end pinched with age and luftering. Aronpd her shoulders was an :ld black shawl, and her dress was skimpy and aged. She rested their awhile and then went downstair«. By chance she :ame to the door of the Honse restaurant aid fell on the very threshold from fatigue and hanger. Some one aided her to a recess of a doorway, and there she sat on the cold marble tiling, nntil the kind heart id lady cashier of the restaurant heard of t and sent her ont a chair. To this lady the old woman told her story t Last Sat ■îrday she lost her son by an accident on the railrond. He waa her sole support, and taking all the money she had, she had :ome to Washington to get aid at the big Capitol. For days she had not tasted food, and now she was here there was no one to ielp her. The kin,] hearted lady gare her lome foiod, and together wiih the waiters, nade np a parse t'jr the old woman atd tent her away, happy for ope day, at least. There is a sunny haired little page in Je House of Representatives who haa S» tome mite a pet among the number*.

He has stopped at one of the large hotels and has created quite a sen ation by his appearance. He looks a mere boy, and naturally is a mere featherweight, but he is a good looking little fellow and has mar ried a very pretty little wife. She is young, very young, and has red rosy cheeks and pret'y soft hair and seems immensely proud of her jockey basband 1 he day after their arrival they came into the breakfast room together looking as happy aä could be. She wore a loose peach blossom colored morning wrapper and he had on a < heckered suit of clo'hes and a pair of yellow alligator slippers. The ladies in the house locked at the pair as they walked up the long aisle of tbe dining j room behind the big head waiter and won- ; dered where the children's mother was. j The bride since that time has not appeared I in her wrapper but the groom has worn his slippers regularly to dinner. The bride has a large number cf handsome dregses and j wears a new ote every d»y. Garrison is j worth considerable money and the piir are j a3 happy as two turtle dovee. * * * The dav the fuss was raised in the House of Representatives in regard to the admittance to the fbor, of people not en titled to the privilege, doorkeeper Don aldson acnt word at once to all the door keepers at the entrances to deny admit tance to every one, except members, clerks, and those who were rightfully en titled to the lloor, ai d that they must en force the rule of the House in regard to ex members registering Mr. Donaldson's order was to make the doorkeepers more careful. Soon after the order was received, a rather stout cockeyed ' man presented himself at one of the doers of the House and s'arted to go in. The doorkeeper stopped him and sa d, "I have to beg you to go around to the reception room and register with the doorlceeper there." "Do you know me?" inquired the coek e)fd gentleman. ' Perfectly,'" replied the doorkeeper, "but my orders are strict. I would t?l*dly r»d mit you, but I huve to obey the rules." The cockeyed gentleman paid u few hard words, bu' they wero of no avail, and j he had to toddl* off to register. "vVho is that?" asked a bystander of the ; doorkeeper. "Ben Uutler," re .l ei that ollicial. « * * " 'It is something like love inits effect«,' said Mr. Cleveland on« day. 'Now if oue is very earnestly and sinoruly loved that affection is sure, if kept up and demon strated, to hiive its way, unless the euitor is absolutely offensive Tue mere fact that so much confidence and affection ia per sistently bc-stowed will touch a heart of atone. So the intense interest shown by so many in a man s spiritual welfare must eveiitu>il!y touch him, if he thinks And the man or woman who cannot be reachtd by the pr iyer ot a nation is a being ttrange indeed.' " "In his private life do von think the i President observes any standard of Chris tianity ?" ' Yes, he does. In all my intercourse with him I do not remember to have heard him Bay anything improper. He some times becomes very much perplexed, but ha doesn't swear about it. Mr. Cleveland believes that honor between man and man is the foundation of Christianity; that tin less one tells the truth and pays his dues he can lay no claimH to morality. Hut he is the sternest man I ever saw. You can t see a muscle move or dijcover the slightest limitation in a moment of excite ment. That is one rea«on why ho is such a good potter player. You could no more tell whether he ia trying to bluff you with two little pairs or whether he had a full hand than you eouM teli how the wind will blow nest week. And what is more, you never know, unless you take up his cards, what he has. He just throws them down, rakes in the pot aud goes along as if it were a matter cf course. lit- ha* a re markable memory, and if you don't watch j he will know your bund after a complete deal out, four iu the game, you know. ' * * * Pages in the Senate and house have be gun to reap their littl* h&r.est of specula tion in the way of placing i rominent po litical epeeches. When h member deliv ers a speech (bat attracts a cood deal of attention and contains desirable sentiment to be icducted into a campaign, a page is < sure to go around to thitf member an I se-1 cure the privilege of disposing of tho ! speech to other members who waut it for j distribution in their dutricf. For instance, the speech delivered by Col. Henderson of Iowa, in tho House! a few days ago on pension legislation, w,»h j considered by the Republican members as a capital tbin* to send out into district. So a pa?e solicited the Republican mem bers until he had orders for many thong and copies of it. They took trom 50ft to 5,000 copies The speech can be franked, giving it free distribution, and will be read by more thau 100,00') voters, in all probability. The Government Printer furnishes copie* of speeches, reparla, etc , for ten per cent , above actual cost of paper and pr»t»a work, the matter be ng already in type The paires charge the members snbs'-ribing for i j the speech or report a slight advance from ! this, look after the delivery of thft copies, I, and thereby make money. A page told ! me the other day be made i IG in one d*y off criers tor one speech. Sometimes, wnen the orders are very large, the work is taken to a private printer, who doe« it cheaper than the Government. In the quiet, where no one can tear who will repeat authority, one of the most seri ioaa buejects for discussion amona the pab lie men here to d*y is the attitude of labor J towards capital, the probable outcome of organized workingmen a* an organiza tion. Nearly every cne concede« that the more organization there is the greater is its distance between labor and .employer, and every one acknowledge« tka' the man who will be idle to avert what seems to be inevitable riots, war and detraction of property will be the wisest statesmen of the day. Bat the organization of labor is inch a powerful element in politic« that lew public men will speak their honest view« where they can be hçard So senoaii is ibis tpatter becoming in the United States that the State Depart ment some time ago directed oar agent« t in foreign countries to gather all the infor mation about strikes, labor Iroables and ï [he grievgcjses of jaboring men obtainable, i d jf labor tor ta» arbitrary dictation of ( wag*«, etc , U looked upon as contrary to e ;ood government and aa, the seed of re- t jellion Socialism has grown so rreatly in I^cl- o cad that the government "if renting on a il rolcaco Revolution is threatened openly, p ind politics sought to be controlled by s: %boring men by torce.

The urnisher's aud tailor's outfits afford the reatest hardships. I have seen scores of oung men here who make twelve to ighteen hundred dollars ,a year who can how nothing but a dress suit and some inen, a variety of walking sticks and a «V pair of pointed shots as the result of 'ears of toil. 1 have seen, too, able-bodied roung men, with soft, dreamy eyes and a ioft, empty head, who have the same outfit tnd who share the income made by their nother or sister in a department—an in :ome far below that named for the society nan who works instead of his mother or lister. So there is little diffsrence in them. There are hundreds of society dudes îere who go everywhere—where there is no >xpenBe attached—and look like the sons >f noblemen who do not earn fifty dollars n a year, but who live off the income of a ■elative aud make a display on ten dollars )r twenty dollars a month. This is "pin noney," but it is all they have. In aocie :y in Washington one does not know, by ippearance or by words, the sons of mil lionaires and the sons of the indigent ipart. They all look, talk and act alike. « * # Now that all th* world is laughing at Senator Joaes, of Florida, and his unsuc cessful attempt at winning a bride, it may »e interesting to know that this is his sec ond attempt at laying seige to a young lady's heart by storm. I was talking to a Bostonian the other day and he told me about a similar exploit to the present De troit one, in which the Florida Senator figured. There happened to be a very pretty lady of Boston, who visited this city several ytars ago and she met Senator Jone*, of Florida. lie fell in love with her and grew quite attentive. The young lady, however, did not care for him, and told him so when he asked her if she did. So p»r»istent did he know that she left aud wpnt home. Several days aftor her ar rival he turned up iu Boston. She first learned ol his presence by receiving an immense bouquet of for get menots and his card. Then he called. For days he con tinued his devotion. She tried every means to get r.d cf him, but he persisted. It was during the recess of the Senate and his absence was not missed. Finally the youug laly went away to the sea shore. The S«nitor lingered, but at last grew tired or his b?tter sense returned and he left Boston and forgot his love. BRIDGEPORT. The little ga* works built in K:rkwojd Bometimu since is all that could be ex pected, It makfs gas t'tom slack coal io quantities far greater than the projector hoped for and is in everyway satisfactory. It will be enlarged so that a more thor ough test may be had, and if it keeps up, in perfection, to its present capacity the plant will rt-movod to the viciuity of the \Vhpeliu>f creek so that the fuel will not have to be transported. It bears prom ige of becoming an immense industry and its product may in the near future almost entirely displace coal. Cue o( thp grandoat nuisances borne by Bridgeport people id the lack of light at the east end ot the back river bridge. From the bridge to the entrance of the old fair grounds on the Island is the meanest piece of walk betwuen here and Wheeling and added to this there is no light and has been none foa several months. The Wheeling Gas Company pay a man, or are eapposed to, for attending to the two oil lamps on the piece of street named, and why the work is not attended to is a questic n for eome one to answer. The plae<< presents egtraordinaiy advantages to footpads and «l.uyF, aud it is a wonder some of our gjiidiil youth have not been done up before now. The idea put fori h by some of our prom inent men. of the city connecting itself with the Martin's Kerry water works and thus getting a Riinp'v of good pure water is calling corsideraM-* aiiention and de serves the carttul consideration of council and citizet s The charity minstrel show proposed by some of our younA' and old men is a«snm ing detinue shape and will probably be presented to the public in a short time. Several members of I he proposed troupe were in Wheeling Friday night getting pointers from the "Chestnuts." It Bridgeport and Wheeling Island suf fer for auytbing, it is a suitable place for the interment of their dead. Four milea we-it from the river and Na tional Pike and (,' I. »fc W. railroad, Mr. Kzra Kinsey has a small farm which be «ill sell for this purpose. It lays gently sloping to the K »st, protected from the storms, gieen with ihe earliest verdure, and a most beautiful piace for this pur. pose, lie KÜi seil it at a most reasonable price. It is easily accessible by a good and level road and also by trains on the railroad which can plqcn funeral trains at the uates of iL«; c. metery. As a matter of convenience and economy, no place can compare wi'h it. In good cars, warm in cold weather and protected from rain snow or wind, and at so much less expense with perfect comfort, and in ten minutes' time the whole funeral pro cifsioncauhe taken from the depot in Bridgeport to the cemetery, if located there. The present one is on a high bleak hill, where a full half day is occupied in going and returning, besides exposed to all kinds ot weither A hack to the pres ent one, with four persons, costs $3.00, whiie that money will take fifteen tu the Kinsey cemetery. Some pur°ons jhcijid <onsid«r the mat te; and take ct*ps immediate to purchase ihe land from Mr. Kinsey, as the present ine is nearly tilled and is most objection üble. Many other good reasons will occur o the observing mind why the purchase ■ hould be made, which ca^nol well be pre lent** in a b.iei* newspaper article.
