Now would lo u Bond time to silBKOSt thnt Pennsylvania KPt a now cnpltnl n veil ns a new capltol. Why not move Uie whole business to SerantonV The InimiKratlon Problem. It Is announced ly Major Carson In the Philadelphia Pllblle Ledsor that President Cleveland will probably veto the amended Immigration bill which has lately passed the house and Is to be acted upon today In the senate. The reason for this alleged purpose of the executive Is said to bo certain features of the first section of the bill, which piovlde that all ipersuim physically capable and over 10 years of use who r-nnnot read and write the English lauKuaRe, or the languaBC of their na tive or resident country, shall be ex cluded. Exceptions aie made In favor of the parents and grandparents, but while the Brandparent.s of the qualified lininlKi'nnt would be admitted the wife who cannot pass the educational test would be excluded. The clause pre iu rllilng that Immigrants shall read and write the English or the language of their native or resident country Is nld to be also objectionable. In the Haltlc provinces of Russia a large pro portion of the people use the German language, and while many of these can speak the Uusslan they cannot read or write' It. The Baltic provinces were acquired by conquest by Russia, but the people have retained their orig inal language, and it Is taught In their schools nnd colleges. Russia is, how I'vcr, the native or resident country of these people, and they would be ex cluded under the terms of the bill, not w itlistnndlng their education in the German language. The same, Major Carson says, Is true of many people In Hungary and Bo hemia whoso langungo Is German, and not Hungnrlan or IJohemlan. It Is fur ther claimed that the bill would ex- hide many immigrants from Alsace and Lorraine, both of which countries ure now under the German empire, and the native or resident language of which is German. The people of Alt-ace and Lorraine ate French, and many of them are unable to read and rite the German or any other lan guage than French. It Is understood that the purpose in employing the words "or the language of their na tive or resident country" was to ex clude the Jews who Inhabit the lower provinces of liusMa. An unsuccessful effort was made in the house to so amend the bill as to admit the wife of a ciuullfled immlgiant, regardless of educational qualification, placing her on the same footing with the parents and grandparents, and to broaden the language of the educational test by providing Hint Immigrants should be able to read and write the English or somo other language. The senate today should avert a veto by sending the bill again to confer ence with Its conferrees Instructed to Insist upon provision for the admission of Immigrants who can read and write any recognized language. As to the denial of admission to illiterate wives, there Is much to be said in Its favor. The mothers of this country should be able to teach their children; Ameri can hospitality may with propriety object to the entrance from foreign countries of women unable to do this. But in order to lighten the hardships of those who are kept out by this pro vision, the new law might properly make steamship companies responsible for the return of literate husbands when accompanied by wives rejected for Illiteracy. This would make those companies careful not to sell tickets to couples not fully qualified to pass muster at our ports, and would prevent the "heartrending separation of hus band and wife" concerning which op ponents of Immigration restriction are so eloquent. That capltol blaze ceases to bo mys terious when we consider the scorch ing character of some of the recent building's mural decorations. .. . How to Build the Canal. Ono of the clearest statements of fact nnd policy yet made in the pending dis cussion concerning the Nicaragua oaiial Is contributed to the Washington Post by ex-Senator Henderson. He points out that on April ID, isr.o, the Vnlted States Government concluded a treaty with Great Britain, known as the Clayton-Uulwer treaty, In which we ugreed that the exclusive control over the cannl should tot be obtained or maintained for Itself by either pow er. "U'o mutually agreed that neither should erect fortifications, or assume or exercise any dominion over Central America. "Nor will the United States or Great Britain take advantage of any Intimacy, or use any alliance, connec tion, or Influence that either may pos-' hosh, with any state or government, through whoso territory tho said canal may pass, for the purpose of acquir ing or holding, directly or Indirectly, for the citizens or subjects of the ono, any rights or advantages, In regard to commerce or navigation, through tho ald canal, which shall not be of fered on the same terms to the citizens or subjects of the other." Also: "Ves nels of the United .States and Great Britain traversing the said canal shall, In case of war between tho contract ing parties, be exempted from 'block ade, detention, or capture by either of tho belligerents." It Is clear, as Mr. Henderson con .tlnuos, that the exclusive financial guarantee of tho United States to aid a private company In the construction of tho canal, In exchange for control ling influence In the private company'B board of directors, would In all prob ability bo construed by England au a violation' of the treaty of 1850. Fur thermore, "the opinion of the civilized and commercial world Is opposed to the solo nnd exclusive control of an lntoroceaulo canal by a single nation. The Suez canal Is owned by no ono country, It Is for the benefit of com merce. All (Europe might nlmultnti eously fall Into wnr, yet the Suez canal must remain open. Likewise the Nica ragua canal must necessnrlly be an open highway for the entire commer cial world, and the United States could never bo nblo to mnintaln over It the position of a private owner." Unless wo can get out of the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty by honorable menus, It Is Mr. Ilendedson's contention that tho United States must abandon Its dream of a controlling voice In the management of this prospective water way; and he suggests that our govern ment seek u new treaty with Nicaragua and the other Interested stntes look ing to the building of the cannl by In ternational concert at Joint expense, and upon terms which shall guarantee In future the absolute tieutrallly'of the canal to nil nations, In pence or war. Such n proposition Is In keeping with the tendency of the times away from war and selllsh diplomacy, and It opens a door to yet further progress In the direction of International comity and confraternity. Should wnr ever comn through any malign decree of future destiny. It need not be supposed that the republic of the United Stntes will have to depend for Its preservation on the closing of a distant waterway to the ships of an opposing power. If we enn honorably secure control of the Nicaragua cunul, well and good; but It not, let us not fall Into the error of supposing that control of It by us Is Indispensable to our safety. Governor Pingree of Michigan, In try ing to hold the olllce of mayor of De , tiolt, claims that he does this to keep tho corporations from perverting the popular will. This excuse may be sln cote but It Is unsatisfactory. The Mich igan supreme court, It Is true, declines to Interfere with i'lngreo's double ten ure, but the higher court of public opinion has already passed on It and its finding Is adverse. No man is Indis pensable in any elective olllce. Use and Abuse of Wealth. Tho Philadelphia Inquirer occupies two broad columns on its editorial page with a defense of the Bradley-Martin fancy dress ball. Its argument In brief Is that the ball will put Into circulation $;fii),000 which would otherwise have been hoarded. We doubt this. Very little money nowadays Is actually kept Idle. It Is too badly needed In business. But the economic skin Is only one side of the question of social extravagance. On that side saloons and gambling shops might be called a benefit, because they put money Into circulation. The great question Is. Is It perman ently advantageous and in the long run wise to have In our largo cities, cheek b -Jowl with sweat shops and the slums, social circles that think nothing of ex pending ?2."0,000 on single entertain ments'.' And is It not specially Inoppor tune for wealthy people to court this glaring contrast between the so-called clashes at times when the Imaginations of the submerged poor aie being fired by uncommon socialistic vagaries and the hot conceits of anarchy? This is the point. We have seen no defense of the Bradley-Martin ball fiom this standpoint. We doubt If there can be any. Persons who look ahead see breakers In this foolish Haunting of unwon wealth. The men who win wealth by personal achievement are not much in the habit of making ridiculous displays of It. They know better. They can re call a time In their own lives when they lecognized the foolishness of such vainglory In others. It lb mainly the Inheritors of wealth that parade and abuse it; those to whom It comes not as the reward of thought and toil and thrift but as a mere caprice of birth, without any seasoning to Its serious re sponsibilities. An enlarged inheritance tax would not be a bad thing. What Mr. Gage thought two years ago as a private citizen and bank presi dent about the retirement of tho green backs, and what he will think on this subject after next March as. the finan cial executor of a Republican adminis tration ure likely to be two different things. Mr. Gage, we believe, has tho ability to recognize that conditions are quite as deseivlng of consideration ns theories. We advise our Democratic ti lends not to worry themselves a"bout Mr. Gage. A Just Verdict. The verdict rendered last week In the trlnl at New Bluomfleld of Dr. Johnston for the murder at Duncannon of Drug gist Henry proves disappointing only to .those who consider that it is the law's chief mission to avenge crime. Johnston was convicted of second de gree murder, which means life Impris onment, after a trial which more clear ly than any In recent times brought expert testimony into conlllct with that of laymen. The facts In the case were these: Johnston Imagined Henry to be on terms of improper intimacy with Mrs. Johnston. His suspicions, it sub sequently 'proved, were without founda tion; but while possessed of them he shot Henry and Henry died. The trial revolved upon tho pivotal question: "Was Johnston, when he shot Henry, sane or Insane?" Expert alien ists fiom the chief cities testified with out dissent that the mental condition under which Johnston lubored amount ed to temporary, or as they called It, "delusional" insanity; and that he therefore, was morally Irresponsible. Uu the other hand, neighbors and patients of Johnston, by scores, testi fied that up to the hour of the shoot ing, Johnston In ordinary duties was to all appeal ances perfectly calm and rational and showed no symptoms whatever of me.ntal excitement amount ing to inanlu. Tho Jury, It seems to us, took the proper view when it hold that Johnston, whether sane or Insane, wub ii suit able man to be put under lock nnd key, out of the opportunity to work fur ther havoc on human life. To have condemned him to tho scaffold would have been to raise among many minds doubt as to tho sutllelency of the law's Justification for such a capital crime. But no rational mun can object to tho placing of Johnston whoie he cannot again conceive n delusion and emphn slye It by homicide. The question whether in (his case ex pcut testimony contributed to Justice must In our judgment he answered In the affirmative, it acted as a prudent cheek on tho blind vengeunce of the mob nnd enabled the jury to reach a common nense verdict. In a caso where the forfeit is a human life, we cannot have testimony from too many points of view. Tho house committee on foreign af fairs has decided to recommend an ap propriation of $1,070,1)03 for the dlplO'' matjc nnd consular service of the United Stntes. All we can say Is, It Isn't worth It. The Burning; of the Capltol. Porhnps tho first thought which arose In every Pennsylvania mind upon re ceipt of the news of the destruction yesterdny of tho stno capltol by lire was that at last this llch and populous commonwealth may have a capltol wor thy of Its rank among the states. Tho building which Is gone was n good one In Its day, but Its day was long ago. For years It has simply cramped the state departments, and addition after .addition has failed to mnke It adequate to the state's growing needs. Harrlsburg Is a poor capital city; If the choice Were to. bo made today It would be the last place thought of In su'eh' a connection. But tho thing to do Is to make the best of It, und prepare to lcbulld the ruined structure on a scale commensurate with the common wealth's gieatness and with an eye to Its future. If this shall be done, the fire may yet prove to have been n bless ing In disguise. According to tho Philadelphia Press "decreasing profits In anthracite coal are Inevliable." Not necessarily. When nature poured practically nil her an thracite wealth Into four Pennsylvania counties and made no provision for its renewal when once mined, it offered a fine opportunity to tho nnthrnclle In terests to maintain a just profit even though other and renewable commodi ties should decline In price. "It seems to us that the approach of March the Fourth is becoming dally of more decided vnlue to the country," says the New York Hun. Strange, but that's just tho way It strukes us.' AVIth a now capltol to build, Penn sylvania ought to go slower than ever on legislative "jobs.1' An Investigation of the Harrlsburg fire department Is In order. STATE LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. Manufacturers and dealers Interested in oleomargarine will, It is announced, make another attempt this winter to secure some concessions from the tlranws, who refuse any modification of the present autl-olcu law. A bill to legalize the sale of oleo under restrictions will shortly On. Introduced In the leglslntuie. It pro vides for heavy license fees, the proceeds of which are to be used on the public roads, divided fairly between the .-ouii-ties. The fee for manufacturers will b,; put at $.1,000; wholesalers, $10,000, and re tailers, $l,0ii. It Is believed tho farmeis will agree to such a measure. Tip oleo men point out that with such a l.uv tli state would gel some benefit out of the business, nnd the persecution of oleo deal ors under the guise of legal prosecution would bJ stopped. Oleo people claim the existing law is a fullure nnd a hardship on the poor, who should have the right to buy oleo If they want It, since It has been demonstrated It Is not injurious: to the health. The best market for oleo In the state Is Allegheny county, wheiv the dealers have been driven from pillar to post and back again by the agents ot the agricultural department. Within the last year or two, however, the sal?s of oleo have largely Increased In the coke regions, througnout the bituminous and anthracite coal counties und In slow-goln Philadelphia, Mhere until recently only creamery butter from the adjoining lin eal. e counties could bo tolerated an the bread of a Quaker. The farmers are be ginning to realize also that it Is Impos sible to stop the sale of oleo by "legal en actment, and us rond Improvement Is sorely needed, they are inclined to be less severe. Oleo men have been (.ouiulirig the legislature und are greatly encouraged In the favorable talk of tho Grangers. There are 37 Grangers In this house to more than W in the lust one. o Representative Stewart's bill to appro priate $2"jO,U0U to establish a stute hospltul for the criminal insane provides that the governor shall appoint five commission ers to select a site, build the hospital and serve without compensation. Care Is taken In the specifications of the bill to require all sanitary surroundings and ar rangements, and to Insure proper con struction of the buildings. While provid ing for all necessuiles (he bill prohibits such things us expensive ari-hitectU'.U adornments or unduly large or costly u t mlmstrutlve acuomniodatlons. The com missioners upon the completion of the hos pital shall surrender their trust to a bourd of nine tiustees, appointed by the gover nor, to serve without compensation. The trustees shnll be u corporate body, and manage the Institution. They shall ap point the steward, for whose guidance In advertising for and procuring supplies the bill piovldes strict regulations. The bill Is cquully particular In regard to such duties of the trustees as the selection' of physicians und attendants, and the equip ment of suitable workshops for such of the Inmates as shall be assigned to work. It Is specified that the cost of mainten ance shall not exceed $1 per week for each patient, one-half to be paid by the state and the other halt by the county from which the minute came. The hospltul shall be entirely devoted to, the cure of persons found to lie Insane before trial or after trial and conviction and before sentence: persons acquitted of uny crime on the ground of Insanity, and persons Impilsoned for crime and becoming Insane or requiring cure und treatment In a hos pltul for the Insane, or believed to be feigning Insanity. Nothing In this act Khali apply to a prisoner convicted of murder in the first degree and awaiting sentence or execution. o It Is regarded at Harrlsburg as a signifi cant fact that lust Saturday morning President George W. Atherton, of State college, visited Canton-and had a confer ence with .Major McKlnley which lusted for some time. Saturday night President Atherton returned east, and he spout Sun day at tho executive mansion with Gover nor Hastings, in consequenco the politi cal gossips ubout the capital are on the qui vive. Governor Hastings and Presi dent Atherton are both residents of lielle. foute, and for years have been close per sonal f i lends. Those who know how very Intimate they are are necessarily curious to know what Major McKlnley told Dr. Atherton and what Dr. Atherton retold to Governor Hastings. There Is believed to be a growing likelihood that Pennsyl vania will huvo u cabinet appointment and that it will be offered to Governor Hastings. In this connection the prophets ure looking south for developments. Senator-elect Thomas C. Piatt, of New; York, Is In Florida, lie wont there But uiday. o The Shenandoah News Is suspicious of Senator I.osch'S bill to compel school boards to purchase apparatus for tho Il lustration of topics nnd studies Inthe pub lic " schools, and It vaguely hints that there muy be u "Job" concealed somewhere In Its curious provisions, "It Is well known," suys the News, that there Is an army of sharks behind tho book and school supply trade ready nnd anxious to swoop down on school 'treasuries! nnd sell Unnecessary wares at fancy prices. There Is sulllclent authority In the laws at pres ent on our state statute books to omiblo school boards to furnish the schools un der their Jurisdiction with all the necex s.iry apparatus; and If .any schools suiter for lack of such supplies) then tho proper place for reform Is with the school boards, Directors who ennnot from a flick of knowledge, or will not from wrong mo tlvcs, discharge their duties In this re spect nro not fit to hold the olllce." This view certainly accords with common sense. o The Monongnhcln new county scheme of two yenrs ago Is to be revived this ses sion. It provided for the creation of Mp nongnhelu county out of portions of Washington, Kuyette, tlrcune, Westmore land and Allegheny counties. Wnslilnp ton and Payette were the largest losers In territory. The river country In both counties wns to be gobbled. The. slice to be taken off Westmoreland was not large, Greene lost but little and Forwni'd town ship was taken from Allegheny county. The agitation foi the new county comes from the people along the river 111 Wash ington county. From Monongalielu they have to come to Pittsburg, and then go to Washington to reach the county seat. This occasions a trip of IN) miles und Is rather expensive, especially to a man who Is summoned as a witness at court ami receives Jl per day for his services. Had the scheme gone through two yenrs ntfo the capital would have been at Olmrleiol, the center of the proposed county. o "It Is Impossible to believe," remarks the Philadelphia Press "that the proposi tion to furnish each member of the legis lature wlth-forty copies of the Legislative Record, to be sent constituents at the ex pense of the state, is seriously made. It would be impossible for any member to find forty of his constituents who would cure to take the publication as a, gift. The maintenance of this useless thing al leudy costs the stnte pome $10,001) Tor each session of the legislature, and the propo sition to Impose an additional number or copies on the people, the state paying nil the expenses, postage Included, Is melelj to add to the burden without the least re turn." o The apportionment measures are to he considered In committee without unnec essary delay, If present advices lrom Harrlsburg are trustworthy. Says the Pittsburg Dlsputch; "Senator Vuughan, of Scrnntnn, who Is chulrman of the sut. ate congressional nppoitlonment commit tee, says he will begin the preparation of a bill at once, and he Intends to push l1. The selection of an energetic' man llk Vuughuu to manage this committee indi cates that an ell'ort will be made to re apportion the congressional dUtvlefs. Vuughun Is not a man to trltle. Ho made a reputation In tho last senate for the in troduction of short, concise bills." o Private advices from San Lucie, Fin., state that Senator Cjuuy, during tho past week, hud an operation performed on his left eye to relieve the paralysis of the up-, per eyelid, the drooping of which has been gradually becoming more nnd more marked In late years. Professor L. Web ster Fox, a well known Philadelphia ophthalmologist, performed the operation. AN INTERESTING CASE. From the Wllkes-Iiarro Record. That school boards and similar bodies should never act In matters of Import ance to the people without having first had the benefit of sound legal advice has just been Illustrated In the case of the board of school directors of Old Forge township, Lackawanna county. Lust summer the bourd decided that the dis trict wns In need of a handsome and ex pensive new school building. They forth with secured plans, advertised for bids, awarded the contract for the erection or tho building, and then proceeded to make provision to raise the money to pay for It. The sum required was Jl.1,000. and tt was proposed to bond the district for that amount. In the meantime the contractor had gone to work, put in the foundation and was getting along rapidly, with the superstructure, when the board was confronted- with an injunction i entraining them from Issuing bonds. The decision In the case, making permanent the In junction, was handed down by ',Rnge( Gunster of the Lackawanna county court on Saturday. It affirms that under the act of assembly of June 13, 1S7I, the hoard cannot issue these bonds, as it would cre ate an indebtedness of the district In ex cess of the legal limit, and the assent of the voters of the district had not been first secured. O As the new building Is far advanced toward completion the board owes the contractor nearly the full amount, called for by the contract, and has no lesources in sight to meet this just indebtedness. We do not know whether or not the Old Forgo directors had taken legal advice before en tering upon this new building and bond project, but It Is evident if they did their counsel was Incompetent, it Is tin unlbr tunate muddle In many ways. Tho dis trict needs the school building for the ac commodation of the children; the direc tors have contracted an obligation which they are unable to discharge; and the con tractor, who undertook the work In guod faith, Is many .thousands of dollars out of pocket; all because the board of direc tors failed to take legal advice or em ployed an Incompetent attorney to advise them. -O-There ought to be some way out of this unortunate muddle by which no In justice will be done uny Interest Involved. School boards und slmllur bodies would do well to guard against being caught in the same kind of trap. One safe way Is to procure the means before contracts are entered Into. The law us expounded by Judge Gunster Is a good anil necessary one for the protection of properly owners and taxpayers against excessive taxation to pay Indebtedness QXtiuvngautly ItU'iimd. To secure the assent of the electors to Increase the Indebtedness of the district will probably be the next step taken, Out here also a difficulty confionts the direc tors of Old Forge. Inasmuch an the people of a populous part of the township are petitioning the court for the erection of a borough, nnd as they will have a school building of their own to erect they will he likely to vote against an inciease of the Indc-bttdness of the old district. The ease ls a highly Interesting one, especially to the Old Forge school directors and the contractor. Till! MAS AT THE WIIKKL.

From the Globe-Democrat. Some' years ago the government" of Swit zerland was usked to enact lnws to do away with idleness) by furnishing work for unemployed laborers. The proposition was submitted to a popular vote, anil was rejected. Then two of the cantons adopt ed a plan of Insurance or temporary pen sions in that relation. Persons at wo-k contributed a small sum appropriations, the fund thus obtnined being distributed among the men out of work for a given number of days. This experiment lias not proved satisfactory, and It is to be abandoned. Its effect has been to pro mote laziness, and to burden the Industri ous with the support of the thriftless. Sui h a result has ensued In nil attempts ot this sort, and the lesson Is that the the ory of socialism Is u delusion.
