Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas, is not opposed to immigration, but she is in favor of making the foreignborn serve the same term of probationbefore having the rights of a citizen that the native-born are compelled to serve —twenty-one years. Mrs. Lease probably does not think of the consequences of such a change in the laws. The Democratic party would be compelled to go out of business. —Inter-Ocean. The President and cabinet officers have suffered heavily from death curing this administration. Mr. Blaine, who is now lying at the point of death, has had three deaths in the farhily, two very near together. Secretary Tracy lost his wife and daughter in a tragic manner. Secretary Windom's sudden death is remembered by all. The family of the President himself has been broken up by the death of Mrs. Harrison, her sister and later her father. Mr. Harrison will carry many sad memories with him as he leaves the White House. The following item, clipped from the N. Y. Independent, will come as a sensational surprise to many of our readers, but we believe it is worthy of calling the attention of our readers to the facts; ‘ ‘They have just hanged a boy fifteen years old in Georgia. He did not understand much about what it meant, and when getting ready to go on the scaffold tremblingly asked: :Does it* hurt -to be hanged?’ In South Carolina last October a young nurse girl was hanged for murder. We make no question whether these people were guilty; we presume they were; but perhaps some of the ten- < eruess which goes out for Mrs. 1 laybrick, who was convicted of poisoning her husband, and who is oply imprisoned, might be properly diverted to much more startling cases in this country.” Every day of delay in the revision of the tariff will make it more difficult for the Democratic party to carry out its pledges. The longer business men are accustomed to the present condition pf affairs the more difficult it will be to overturn them. It is a perilous undertaking for any party charged with the government of a great nation to reverse a policy which has brought to that nation a time of unexampled prosperity. Men in every branch of business arc preparing to meet the increasing demands of their line of trade, hoping that any change made will not affect them. Every one of these classes will object seriously whenever the proposed change begins to affect it, end the longer it is delayed the more difficult our Democratic brethren will find it to metke the changes which they have promised. Political movements in -South Carolina will bo watched'just now vith much interest.. The lower Louse has passed a bill submitting to Jhe electors the question whether or j not they will call a constitutional convention. The Republicans and straight-out Democrats favored an amendment to the bill which would submit, the constitution to the people for adoption, but this was deI fated by a large majority of the Tiiiuifan iXi:;oi_rao5. Their plan

seems to be to follow the example of Mississippi and have the convention declare its work adopted as the constitution of the state. This is a bad ■precedent and no state with selfpride would bo guilty of such action, j The animus of the movement seems to be let out in the words of a member in criticising the speech of one who favored the amendment. He saic\: “The Negro vote has to be handled. Does he want to help the Negro? God forbid that he does. Something must be done at once and it is absolutely useless to delay the will of the people.” Evidently the days of untrammeled suffrage have not yet come for the Negro. fttist!
