NOTHING illustrates more dearly the Democratic love for, and reliance upon, the methods of the bulldoaer and the revolutionist, than the attempt to coerce coujrreas into defeating the federal election bill by threats of Democratic legislatures to withhold ap­propriations for the world's fair if fraud and intimidation are not allowed to re­tain foil sway in the South. Failing to defeat the measure either by honest Beans or by the most outrageous and revolutionary filibustering, the order has gone forth for the faithful in the different state legis­lative bodies to attempt to brow­beat their representatives in congress into voting as the Bourbon element dic­tates. This assumption of the tactics of the ruffian should have influence only to increase the determination of the friends of honest elections to stand up for the right. The world's fair is not a partisan enterprise. The whole United States is interested in its success, and failure will injure, not the Bepublican party, but the peo­ple of the whole country. This latest Democratic move is there­fore only another example of cutting off the nose to spite the face. If the Demo­crats can stand the odium of a failure for which they alone are responsible, the Republicans can bear their share of the ruined national enterprise with all equanimity, knowing that upon them the people will not ptace the responsi­bility. It is a repetition of the old story of thirty years ago. Then the southern brigadiers declared that the South must rule or the nation be ruined. Now the same element de­clares that the ruin of a great national enterprise shall be the price of a free ballot and a fair count. They did not prevail in the sixties, and they should not prevail now—and will not if a few weak-kneed senators can be brought to understand that the welfare and honor of the country transcend in importance the wishes vf the free-silver men.

Our religions contemporary is doin^ commendable work in calling attention to the need of a check upon one of the monster evils of the period. The figures above quoted have been given In these columns, and are official. They should be repeated and the r significance dwelt upon until the people comprehend the extent and imminence of the danger. The iudifferenee with which the matter is regarded is auia/ing. This influx of foreign ignorance and depravity threatens to sap the life-bionl of the nation if it is not stopped.

A case in point is furnished by the Philadelphia fVeju, which is making a careful investigation into the condition of the Hungarians, Bohemians, Polan 1-ers and other "how down" foreigners employed in some coal mining districts of Pennsylvania. Of most of these the general statement holds good that " they seem to be a little higher than "the animal." They are of the very lowest class of European peasantry. They live on a pittance which domestic laborers would scorn. Consequently they are fast driving out native miners and becoming a predominant element among the working people of that sec­tion. • This state of things is aggravated by the vices and excesses in which they indulge. Tbey are ignorant in the extreme, revoltingly filthy in their habits, as a rule have no desire to rise above their condition and are content to live like beasts,of the field, with much less restraint upon their appetites and passions, and with little regard for the rights of one another or of Americans, and littlaor no respeet for the laws of the country or the duties of citizenship. It is not strange that crime and disorder are rampant among these people, that the foulness of their persons and sur­roundings breeds disease and causes a high death-rate, and that their more respectable neighbors regard them as plagues and nuisances.

This condition of things is a direct and ^legitimate result of the indiscrimi­nate immigration tolerated under the existing system, and the matter will grow worse until the remedy is applied at the fountain head and our too-hospitable doors are closed to the un­worthy. The dumping-gTouni idea is obsolete. Our self-respect no less than our national safety demands a rigid inspection of immigrants, both before they leave home and upon arrival here, to the end that only the deserving be admitted to enjoy the privileges which our free government offers.

Mr. StahlnaeBer'a ladlau Poller* The present is prolific In opinions con­

cerning the Indians, but few are more frank ia their statements than is William G. Stahineeker, member of congress from the fourteenth district of New York. He says:

I asa In favor of transferrins: the Indian bureau from the interior to the war department • • a matter of good policy to prevent starving-tfee Indians. I have not a bit of seotiment on the Indian question Indeed, my root another tells me I am a barbarian oa the subject, and I sroeaa I am. If I saw an Indian freezing to death and It needed a little more ioe to complete the Job I would go across the street and tret it for him. 1 eame into contact with fifteen Indians onoe in Washington. They were in the office of 8«€retary Lamar, when be was at the head of the interior department, and I had goae there on boaJneaa. They were in eharsre of an interpreter and I began to question him about the different Indiana. The first one about whom 1 asked had killed twenty-odd white persona—men, women and children. He was famous for his atrocious murders. Another had killed ten, another eleven Not one of the fifteen hsd killed less then four or five persons -enemies of one kind or another. I said to the secretary that the interior department might have an Indian policy, but. except tot toe bad influence it might have on public morals, I would be willing and anxious to hoot ap fifteen lamp posts outside the interior odseaand string the bloodthirsty devils up then and there. That is my Indian policy.

there are few who won Id go to is in dealing with the red men,

bet It mast be admitted that the eoDgress-aaan speaks from a good understanding of the Indian character.

FAIR-MUTDED persons irrespeeUfe of party affiliations will concur In the assertion of the Washington Star, Dem„ that" the lagging of •* the world's fair into the political squabble " is narrow and unpatriotic. The exposition " Is net a Republican enterprise. The at-*• tempt to gain a political advantage by a M threat) aimed at the credit of the nation ia " sure ,to react." The sentiment of these observations is referred to certain legislators a* Albany. Bpringneld and other capitals.

Tim friends of Edward Bellamy are busily at work denying that the failure ot the lSvanstou cooperative eootlag experiment was a blow at nationalism, They likewise declare that the embarrassments of the Tu­lare, CeL, colony of Bellamy enthusiasts is set to be taken as reflecting in any manner apeo the soundness of the nationalistic theory. Perhaps aot But they;show that as a eowdftten the theory Is a eonspteuoas and palaful fait ore.

T h s S p e c i e ! C e w a t y Jwdg-e. The special county judge hill will be con­

sidered at a public hearing before the senate judiciary committee at Albany to-morrow af­ternoon at t o'clock. The board of sapervis-roe of Rensselaer county, composed of repre­sentatives from the different towns la Use county and wards In the city, has emphati­cally declared its opposition to the proposed measure, and a resolution in opposition to the bill was recently adopted by the farmers' league of this district.

At first, before the Introduction of the biU.ltwas understood the "special county " judge " proposed would receive little or no compensation and be created simply to take testimony of witnesses in the northern part of the county, thereby saving the expense of transportation and loss of time to those obliged to give testimony in judicial eases. All this was very plausible, hot the milk in the eoeoanut was discovered when the bill introduced In the legislature provided for a comfortable salary of $2,500 to the new offi­cer. The Impression prevails generally that we have county officers enough, with taxes sufficiently burdensome, and it is piling on the agony to add to the salary list which we are now compelled to provide for.

Those who favor the Mil profess there is no politics in it, but a suspicion Is enter­tained in the minds of Re publicans that the creation of this judicial officer would probably have the effect of augmenting each year the Democratic pool raised by voluntary subscription to defray the necessary and con­tingent political expenses of the faithful.

T h e Latest M i n e H o r r o r . If the early reports from Mount Pleasant.

Penn., are confirmed the explosion of gas wbich occurred yesterday In the Frick Mon­mouth shaft will take rank as the most destructive accident in the mtnlsg annals of the bltnminous region. It is said 121 men were killed, a fatality much in excess of that wbich made memorable the DUD bar acci­dent near the same place about two years ago. As in the majority of aucb occurrences, the exact cause Is only conjectured. The ac­cepted theory, that the explosion was doe to a miner's unguarded lamp, is rendered probable by the frequency with which trouble is brought about in this way. The precaution of using the safety lamp, in which the name Is wholly *hut off from con­tact with gas accumulations, is daily disre­garded in the mines, with the certain result, sooner or later, of an explosion, mangled bodies and a saddened community of sur­viving relatives bereft of support. The statute books are burdened with laws to en­force greater carefulness, and the ingenuity of Inventors Is put to its utmost test to pro-\ ide better means of precaution but neither law nor safety appliance can prevail in the face of the thoughtlessness which charac­terizes the cheap imported labor common in so many mines.

RESIDENTS of New York city are Inclined to think that in the end the iireat storm of Sunday will prove a blessing which will more than compensate for the annoyance and inconvenience it caused. For several j ears the «ity baa been striving to get all wires underground, and at every step has been opposed by the telegraph, telephone and other companies which contributed to the irreat overhead network. The direct ctst of renewing the lines destroyed by the storm will be equal to the expense of wiring a long section of subways, while the indirect cos' through the loss of business and expen­sive methods of doing the little that was possi­ble, would go far toward paying the interest on the whole subway investment. The many poiDts in favor of the subway system were brought out clearly, for not a'.siogle subway wire failed to perform its duty as well after the storm as before. The various companies may be indifferent to public sentiment, bat they cannt t afford to forget this ohject les­son in economy.

J E R V I * Mr EN T E E , who died at Rondout \esterday, was one of the best known and moit successful of American landscape artists. He was nearly sixty three years of sge. Ai>out fortyyears ago he studied with F. E. Church. Since 1861 he had been a member of the national academy of design, and bis paintings were among the most noted snd admired aU^the anneal exhibitions of the association. Mr. McEutee was an ardent lover of the woods snd field?, and portrayed their aspects with rare fidelity to nature. He especially ex­celled in forest and mountain scenes, and their aspects in the autumnal season were favorite studies with him. Many exquisite pastoral representations and some striking views at the seashore were also products of b i s - e n i u s . By his death American art is a great loser, while his sterling personal worth endeared him to a wide circle of cultured and distinguished frieads.

I H E vote for senator yesterday in the two houses of the Kansas legislature showed that there is no chance for the reelection of Sen­ator Ingalls. In the two bouses Judge W. A. 1'erTer had 98 votes to 58 for Mr. Ingalls and s scattering. Before his recent speech in the senate the wish was general that Sen­ator Ingalls might be returned, bat in tbat speech he manifested such a will ingness to cater to the wildest and most visionary-schemes of the free-silver men and "sub-'• treasury " advocates that many who were once bis enthusiastic supporters became in­different to the result of his contest for re­election. His temporary retirement from public life will not cause the regret It would had he remained the steadfast supporter of wise statesmanship and gone down with the true colors Hying.

T H E proverbial excitability of Parisians is amply illustrated In the " Thermldor " inci­dent Monday evening. M. Sardou as a writer of plays makes no concealment of bis sensa­tional audacity. It is even possible that with a shrewd eye to advertising considerations be courted the disapproval Of the easily-swayed I»>unia>i8ie. But the climax of a riot, with the subsequent suppressal of the objectionable play by the government, is an Incident more dramatic even than was bar­gained for. Frenchmen should learn the American treatment of unpleasant dramas— stay away.

M O S T Americans will be surprised at read­ing of the German emperor's birthday cele­bration yesterday to learn that he is thirty-two years of age. The persistency with wbich be is alluded to as the " young kaiser " has given to many the impression that he is a boy scarcely oat of his teens. In the essen­tials of vigorous manhood, however, William III. has shown himself to be no mere youth. There will be no dissent in the cordial ex­pression of America's good wishes for bis continued health, prosperity and happiness.

DEATH has ended the troubles of Mary E?J Flack, once the wife ot ex-Sheriff James A. Flack of New York. Her decease means-much to the ex-sheriff and his son, who were convicted ot conspiring to obtain a fraudu­lent divorce for the father. The court of appeals ordered a new trial, and Mary E. Flack was the chief witness for the people. Without her testimony a conviction Is not probable. The public will not he sorry when the last is heard of the Flacks and their shortcomings.

COUNTY AUDITOR JOHN BROWS of Win dom, Minn., is an official who holds novel views of public office. Elected by the Farm­ers' alliance be quickly found bis new duties Irksome and sold the place to another for •200. His unfeeling predecessor thereupon refused to give op the keys, and e lawsuit is the outcome. Mr. Brown's vital mistake was in not securing a deputy to do all the work while he devoted his energies to keep­ing informed concerning the weather and crop*. .

IT is announced, that a general Industrial revolution will be precipitated next May. by the going out of the 150,000 mine workers of the bituminous regions. This movement is declared to be In behalf of the eight-hour system. Lest anybody should be alarmed it Is well to bear in mind that this is an an­nually recurring rumor, which is visible early in January, reaches its period el maxi­mum brilliancy about February 15 and is altogether obscured by March 1.

CiAMta* is soil aa open issue.

MR. BBXXAMY makes a hold hid foe femi­nine" endorsement when be holds out the hope that In the year 2000, under the ascend­ancy of nationalism, the suitor will "be " brought to his marrow-bones in earnest," while " the insolent prosperity at present en-" joyed by the bachelor will have passed * Into salutary, If sad. eclipse." fiat the masculine disapprobation which Mr. Bellamy is unconsciously courting bears all the indi­cations of a cyclone.

MOB criticism, as practised upon the Parisian drama, stay not be discriminating, but it is certainly effect! ve. Its only parallel in this country is the eostom of presenting un­satisfactory Thespians with prehistoric vege­table and poultry products.

IT is recalled of Mr. Haggard, the anther, tbat as a schoolboy he was a plain, prosy, dull lad, without brilliancy or pyrotechnics. In this characteristic he merely obeyed a well-established rule. For It is the plodder who nine times out of ten develops into the useful citizen, The coruscating schoolboy sometimes keeps op his smartness through life, bnt when he doesn't, the- tailors is usually decisive.

SOME of the Democratic senators in Wash­ington are disputing over the question as to who held the floor the longest when the federal election Mil and closure reoolatiesi were under consideration. In other words there are several rivals for the title of cham­pion filibuster—an honor only less glorious than that of champion prize fighter. Ho wonder there is a struggle for It among the defenders of bulldozing and ballot-box stuff-lng.

IK spite of the abuse he is receiving from the opposition Senator Hoar deserves the praise of the Republican party, and, ia a wide sense, of all fair-minded and honest citizens for bis incessant and superb champion­ship of tree elections and an honest count of votes.

SENATOR STANFORD'S attitude on the federal election bill Is like the position of the Celt who had captured a Tartar. He wants to be on the right side, bat his asso­ciations will not permit It. •

BECAUSE the vice president would not assist them In blockading legislation the Democratic ntw-papers are abasing him. The country loves him all the more for the enemies he thus makes.

THE mass of Republicans to-day are as firm snd loyal to the fundamental principles of the party as ever. It Is a number of the leaders who need a stiffening.

,TEE compact of free silver Republicans with the Democrats is being better kept than the compact of those senators with the people they are supposed to serve.

THE subsidence of interest in the Koch remedy is easily accounted for. The public having heard sufficient talk is willing to await results. _________________

T E A T A B L . B G O S S I P . A D O I T twenty-four years ago I was en­

gaged in a small lumbering town on the east­ern shore of Lake Michigan, and I remember very well when a bright little stranger girl came Into my store one day to be, as I suppose, one of my new customers among the many dally arriving seeking new homes in our sparsely-settled county. So soon as others having the preference were waited on she

ame up to me and said: " Mr. Gray (then hesitated), I just came in by boat, and the captain told me to come to you. My name is Emma Abbot t 1 am giving concerts to help support our family.

THE face of Preston B, Plumb, senator from Kansas, not handsome at best, ts pitted by smallpox. Said a man the other day who knows him: "Each one of these smallpox pits on Plumb's face Is a medal of honor. In the early days of Kansas Emporia was a bcoming town and Mr. Plumb was an impe­cunious printer. He gathered money enough together, however, to start a little weekly newspaper in the town and was doing fairly well with it and had almost paid up his debts. There ran a rumor through the new town one day tbat a strange tramp bad been sud­denly smitten with smallpox and the epi­demic was in danger of spreading. The rumor meant ruin to the embryo municipal­ity, and so the friendless and stricken man was hurried out on the prairies, far from the city, and left there in a log cabin to do the best he could for himself. There was no one to care for him, and, of course, it was a wrestle with death. In a dingy, one-room editorial and printing office, Preston B. Plumb heard the story. He closed the place, started out to the log-house where the sick man lay, and for weeks nursed him and cared for blm until be was saved from death. Then he lay down himself, stricken by the disease; bnt hearts bad grown tenderer in the Kansas town, and kindly hands minis­tered to him until he, too, was saved."—New York Telegram.

Of tU Tf>* B*UW TtKM*. AXBAET, Jan. 28.—The senate

committee agreed last night to report favor­ably this morning Senator Emerson's hill for repairing Clinton prison, bat reduced the ap­propriation from 1168,000 to $143,000.

FIGHTING TBE STABLER BILI -A matter which pertains In its ultimate

effects wholly to New fork city Is arousing all the excise reformers and leading temper­ance men of the slate. It is the Stadler bill to allow keepers of halls la New York city to take out a special license and sell ate, wines and beer after 1 o'clock A. V., when, as the law now reads, no liquor may be sold. The bill, as a favor to Senator Stadler, was rushed through the senate and went as far as second reading In the house, when it was esptnred by ex-Speaser Hasted snd sent back to the excise committee for a hearing.

FOB A N D AGAINST. That hearing occurred yesterday afternoon

and was attended by Bishop Doane, Father Walworth, Kev. Drs. King, McLeod and fos­ter of Albany, John Jay Chapman, a gyrtadV son of President Jay. President Kat'zen-meyer of the New York Leiderkranz, John B. Pennes, president of the society for the protection of personal liberty, C. M. Banr and Judge Arnonx of New York. Messrs. Doane, Chapman, Walworth, Ar noux, Kfitzenmeyer and Pennes spoke, the two latter in support and the former in oppo­sition. The temperance men riddled the bill and from Its own provisions demonstrated its weakness. The only excuse the advocates of tbe bill hsd for letting it go through was that the excise commissioners would see that no disreputable place in Gotham re­ceived a license. This was so ridiculous a proposition that no one offered to debate it. Father Walworth closed tbe discussion with a ringing invective against the sins which tbe liquor traffic was responsible for, and scoffed at the idea of a bill to license de­bauchery and drunkenness all night long being for the interests of any community.

IT WILL BK REPORTED. The committee, which Is believed to be

fixed for just such purposes, will meet to-day and report the bill back, with probably very few amendments.

OSTTrNG "EVEN. The assembly judiciary committee has re­

fused to endorse the bill which pissed the senate to suspend the ballot-reform act till July In order to save labor, inconvenience and expense to the country districts at their local spring elections and town'meetings. The bill was reported adversely yesterday, and the only reason therefor advanced for the set Is thus given by one ot New York's enlightened legislators: " Well, you see ym se fellers used to boiler us down when we kicked against the ballot-reform bill last year, and now you see you put your foot In It, and if it hurts we do n t care. But we do n't propose to let you squirm out of it. See ?" It is a fact that the New York as-assemblymen, In opposing this bill which affects them in no way, are influenced only by the desire to " get even " with tbe Repub­licans for insisting on a ballot-reform act

Those in the silver pool will make a desperate effort to secure a favorable report. The combine ia exceed­ingly alarmed over the revelations of the past week, and Its chances for bringing the bill into the house are at an exceedingly low ebb.

CONDEMNING CAMERON. As evidence of tbe intense feeling exhib­

ited by straight-out Republicans against Senator Cameron's course, the fact was learned by the Press correspondent that the Pittsburgh Times will to-day call upon him to resign. The Times Is one of the most in­fluential Republican papers In Pennsylvania, and was tbe stan chest supporter of Camer­on's candidacy for reelection.

TEE SITUATION IN THE SENATE. The Tribune correspondent telegraphs that

the situation in the senate with regard to the closure rule and the election bill is still clouded in uncertainty. The anti-Republi­can coalition, which triumphed temporarily Monday, did not have a clear majority behind it, and with the Vote of Senator Stanford against it would now be unable to retain its control of the senate. Even if Mr. Stanford joins the other coalitionists In their effort to repay their obligations to Mr. Gorman, the change of a single vote would turn the balance and restore power to the responsible majority. Tbe friends of the closnre rule are already looking hopefully for such a change. The defeat of Mr. Ingalls for reelection wilt re­move all incentive to that senator to give aid and comfort to tbe opposition, and he may be expected to return within the party lines now that he has nothing to gain by remain­ing outside them. It is generally conceded also tbat Mr. Cameron's vote Monday to lay aside the Aldrich rule was the result of a bargain by which Mr. Vest and other Demo­crats agreed to delay the disclosure of his silver speculations until after the Penn­sylvania legislature had voted to reelect him. Mr. Cameron is under promise to- the legis­lature to support the election bill, and by its action, or threat of action, he may be led to reverse his vote of Monday when the ques­tion of taking up the rule is put again. Mr. Aldrich will undoubtedly try to secure far­ther consideration of ths closnre rule as soon ss the apportionment hill is out of the way. and the fight of Monday will be renewed with an excellent chance ot success.

WASTING 1TMB AN© MONEY. Within the next six days the majority in

tiie house of representatives may find it necessary to amend tbe rules of tbe house so as to prevent such wanton waste of tune and unjustifiable obstruction of the public busi­ness as the Democrats have indulged in dur­ing the last two or three weeks—in fact, ever since the holiday recess. It is not Improbable that steps will be taken soon to put a stop to such proceedings. It most not be forgotten that st no time since the beginning of this last Democratic "ghost dance" has any bill or proposition which, by any stretch of partisan rhetoric or imagination, ooutd be called partisan been before that body. Against what have the Democrats filibustered? Why, against the journal of the house proceedings—a dry, official record of routine business; against the considera­tion of the shipping bill; against the hill Basking appropriations for the support of the general government in the district of Colum­bia—to provide for public schools, asylum* and hospitals, the paving and lighting of streets, tbe preservation of public order and the thousand and one other details of municipal administration for which the gen­eral government is responsible in the capital of the nation; against the considera­tion of the naval appropriation bill—a bill to which the Republican minority in four successive sessions daring a Demo­cratic administration gave most loyal, patriotic snd generous support. Of coarse it is rather difficult to make people understand what all this foolish con­duct of the minority in the house is for; to understand what the Democrats expect to gain by it or what will come of it. But even body does know that money mast ba had to carry on She government and that it cannot he had unless congress appropriates Ik If this congress does not appropriate it before March 4 the next congress must do so before July 1, at the cost of a special session. The fight has not been a manful or manly one in any sense, even when it was openly made. Tbe southern Democrats have retorted to the tactics of bulldozing and in­timidation which they have found as suc­cessful at home. From the desks of south­ern Democratic representatives and sena­tors* have been sent messages to urge open threat* to boycott the world's fair in the hope of ibtimidating the administration and the majority in congress; threats from states wbich never voted a dollar to the great ex­positions held in Atlanta and New Orleans with government aid for tbe beneut pri­marily, of the southern states; threats from states in which the government has ex­pended tens of mlUluns ot dollars ia as ifiany gars for internal improvements; threats

>m states into which the'generous people of the North, as well as the government, have poured millions of dollars in the past dozen years to relieve suf­ferers from earthquakes, floods -and epidemics, and to rescue thousands of

.persons from starvation. It is estimated that the total cost of the filibustering, in one week was equal to the annual salaries of six senators or representatives. It most be re­membered that this filibustering, this wanton . waste of time, was caused or a Democratic minority, net a member of which could find even a partisan reason or excuse for it l a any measure pending or proposed in the hoase, The majority ought to and probably
