Tammany should bo rewarded for
the 30 electoral votes given Mr.

The negroes then used pistols, and
three white strikers were wounded.
Officers arrested aud protected the

A Providence (R. I.) special
•ays: Emory Wilson, oue of the
most prominent republicans in the
East, says the restriction of immi
gration will come before congress
early iu December. Mr. Wilson
says that Senator Chandler has
prepared a bill with that end in
view, proyiding that emigrants
make a three-months’ application
to the United States cousuls
abrfxd.
In speaking of immigration re
strictions tho Toledo (Oliio) blade
says:
' The qnc.-tiois of restlaining im
migration >s one w hich is shirked
by the average politician. It is
loaded with dynamite so far as the
aspirant for ollice is concerned. To
rai-e the cry in a political campaign,
that any candidate was in favor of
the restriction of immigration,
would insure swift and sure de
feat tor him. But all the same the
question is one of the swIft-COJiing
new issues which the people of this
country must he prepared to meet
and solve. The latest distinguish
ed person who has spoken plainly
about it is ex-Senator Edmuuds, of
Vermont. He asserts that it is
•the most vital qu-stion confront^
ing the people of the United -Stales.
This is a very strong statement, but
its truth can hardly be denied, 1 he
unchecked immigration of low-grade
humanity must result iu a lowering
of the standard ot character; and
that it is an evil which can not be
eradicated/’
Ere long this subject will be
handled without gloves by the
press of the country; and we vtn
ture the assertion that not far in the
dim future satisfactory immigration
resuictions will be in force.
Iu rpeaktngof Southern progress
the New Delta says: -‘With the
election of Cleveland, a Democratic
Honse and Senate, the passage of
wise and just laws, there is no rea
son why the South, especially that
section known as the cotton states,
should not take grand strides iu
in the way of mental and material
progress. Here are the rivers, the
forests, the fields, the mountains
filled with tho minerals that con
duce 10 the comfort and add to tho
luxury of mankind. In a word,
every physical feature to fit this
section for the dwelling placo of a
large end prosperous population.
Nor should it he forgotten that tho
climate from the Tennessee line to
the gulf, fr m the Atlantic to the
Western plateau is the best in the
world. Good government which
will be secured under a conserva
tive Democratic administration is
oily necessary to build up the
great Southland.”
The betting in New York on the
recent election was very heavy.
Michael Dwyer placed $180,000,
giving big odds, and won $75,000 j
on Cleveland. John Mahoney won
about $50,000; Ed. Murphy, Jr.,
850,000; Joseph J. O’Donohue,
$30,000; Tom Paltoii, 850,000; Pat
Duffy, $20,000, all of which does
not half tell the tale of good luck
that was reaped by Cleveland’s
backers.
The Vicksburg Post suggests
Congressman T. C. Catchings of
that city for attorney geueral of the
United States. We sincerely hope
that Mr. Cleveland will name Gon.
Catchings for the position, as we
believe him to be fully qualified for
that post, or, in fact, for any cabinet
office.
Attorney Ueueral T. M. Mdler
has positively determined to resign
his office at the close of the present
term if the supreme court, which
will be in January. Hon. Jas. H,
Nevillo would make a worthy suc
cessor to Mr. Miller, and his name
! is often mentioned in that connec
tion.
The X. I. & 0., at Columbus, has
a new paper, “The Power,” named
in honor of the “Nestor of the Mis
sissippi Press”—Col. J. L. Power,
of Jackson, It is a neat, well
edited, four-page, four-coluinn pas
per, and we wish it long life and
unbounded success and usefulness.
Weaver claims that he lias receiv
ed private advices from Alabama
which oouvioce him that he carried
that s*ate by 3000 plurality, and he
expects to make a fight for It.
Weaver’s claim in this line is not
worth a pair of a country editor’s
socks.
A great socialist demonstration
was held in Trafalga Square, Lon
don, on Sunday. Socialism is on
the Increase all over Europe, and
lively times may soon be expected
it the movement is not promptly
nipped in the bod.

5 years old. The other day she was
sitting on his hip with a handglass

father for a moment, then looked
at herself and turned to her moth

“Mamma,’’ she inquired, did God
mako me ?”
“Yes, daughter."
“Did he make papa, too V‘
“Yes.’’
Then slie took another look in

NEWSPAPER LAWS.
The following are tho laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
“If subscribers order the discon
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to «onU
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
lisher?, and their paper is sent to
the former place they are held re
sponsible.
The courts have decided that re
fusing to take periodicals from of
fice before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will he respon
sible until an express order to dis
coininne the paper with payment
of all is sent to 'lie publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any man for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this
law it is a dangerous trick for a
man to .allow iiis subscription ac
count to run on from six months
to a year and then tell the post
master to mark ‘refused’ or to
send the editor a notice to discon
tinue the paper.”
