This night-mare which stalks through the chamber of Charles Emory Smith and disturbs his edi- torial slumber is no less a person. age thau Jay Gould, the grest rail- ing to the Press Smith's night-mare has gone over to the Democrats bag and baggage, nay more the dis- turber of Charles Emory's sleep has actually subscribed $10,000 to the Democratic campaign fund, through Dr. Morvin Green. Had | Jay put up his usual amount for the Republican campaign fund as heretofore the dreams of the Pres | editor would have been those of innocence and virtue. We doubt Mt.

The story smacks too much of “double priced flopper no- tices. Yet Mr. Gould may have seon the error of his ways and re- peated. In 1884 Mr. Gould through his telegraghic control of the elec- tion returns and his control of the New York Tribune attempted to cheat Mr. Blaireintothe presidency. Editor Smith had no night-mare at that time. Mr Gould's defection if there is any is a severe blow to the financial ¥nd of the Republican campaign and it is that fect that gives the Press editor the night Perhaps the Republican managers wanted to fry wo much “fat” out of the millionaire and - Tuts Fall will end the Republican party.

The resolution pro vides that consuls, consul generals and ministers resident of the Uni. ted States in foreign countries that send emigrants to the United States in considerable numbers shall forthwith proceed to investi gate the emigrants from these coun: tries to the United States with spe- cial reference to the following questions : Are these emigrants, or anyportion of them, ertminals, papers or incapacitated for labor ? Do the local or national authorities di. rectly or indirectly assist, encourage or pay for such emigration for political, economic or other reasons, and, if »0, to what extent ? Are these emigrants, or any portion of them, assisted or encouraged to come to this country under the labor contracts aginst the existing laws of the United contemporaries who have left for themselves records of which their countrymen are proud. He ranks with the Chandlers,the Dudieys the Robesons and that class of public plunderers and yet Mr. Blaine is the idol of his party, the most popu. lar man in it. Js there not some- thing wrong about a party which can fasten iteelf like an ivy vine to a man who barely escapes wedioc- rity because he is a demogogue ? Yet Harrison sinks into insignifi- cance before the “sun of York, Blaine will boss the Republican campaign and were Harrison to be elected, Le would be as putty in the hands of the main man, “ Prorrcrion” through high tax. ation is a lie, a fraud and delusion, which will not stand the test of rea son or experience. It is robbery highway robbery, sanctioned by the trial establishment in the United States ? Are false inducements used by steam. ship companies, labor contractors or others to increase emigration to the Umitex] States ? What part, if any. do the loeal or na. tional authorities take with reference to these Jeople coming to the United What societies, corporations, individ. uals or companies In foreign count: od States are fohoued in encoun ng or ng em § the States, togeter with such other i formation concerning this sulject os may be germane to the inquiry ? “ PROTECTION to American labor” has been the battle cry of the Re. publican party ever since the war, and every monopolist skinner and shy-lock engaged in plundering his employes under the cloak of a high tariff has echoed the cry.
