SCBANTOX, MARCH 21, 1002. Tit view of the fact that u Ilcpuull I'.in iidnilniRtr.itlou in called upon to pull the chestnutx oiiL of the lire, this wealth of Democratic wympathy for the struggling: Hoers; starving Cubsui sugar planter?, etc., Is ' almost too touching for contemplation. Meet the Issue Squaroly. IX THEIR eagerness for something lo howl about, tho Democratic Ipudcis at Washington have fixed upon the Cruinpackor movement to Investigate the disfranchisement of voters and are now sounding the party tocsin with demoniacal energy, evi dently hoping to make up in noise what they lack In argument. They have pla carded the Democratic press with pre dictions that tlu uromlsed consider ation of the Crumpaeker resolution to inquire by special committee into the validity of the election laws of the sev eral states and us to whether the right to vote at any election is denied or ie strlcted in any state to any voter quali fied under the constitution of the United States portends a revival of sectional ism, a re-waving o the "bloody shirt" and another effort to piinct a "force hill." The faithful are admonished to get ready for the light of their lives in opposition to this "vicious" purpose of the majority. Well, wc see no reason why the Re publicans should modify their pro gramme because of tills outcry. It would hardly be expected that the Southern chevaliers who are In con gress by virtue of disproportionate lepresentatlon due to nullification of the Fourteenth amendment would ex hibit enthusiasm in welcominc an in quiry into the frauds by which they exist, politically. All their interests point In the direction of avoiding any looking into these matters. Hence their frantic efforts to avert the inquiry by intimidating Aveuk-kneed Republicans. Yet this question will not down. There is no disposition among fair-minded Republicans to exceut to franchise imitations in the South that aim to de prive unlit negroes of the control of olItics, provided the limitation is im posed fairly, so as to apply to Illiteracy or poverty or both without regard to nice, color or previous condition of ser vitude. But it Is demanded by every anslderntlon of political fair play, to say nothing of the constitution of tho 1'nlted States, that where tho franchise is abridged representation should lessen correspondingly. Tho representative whites of the South, who are not dependent upon politics for a livelihood, freely admit that they would willingly lose repre sentation if necessary to do away witli the fear of negro political domination. It is only the office-holders who raise the din over this matter. They natur ally want the representation to lctualn as It Is. because if it were changed some of them would lie out ot Jobs. Hut so long as the vole of one of their con stituents has an effective force In con gress equal to that or seven votes cast, for example, In Pennsylvania it need not be expected that there will be a cessation of the demand for I'uuallza tlon. If the Democratic party desires to record its support of unconstitu tional disfranchisement and unfair icp jesentation, there can be no possible objection fiom a Republican standpoint to giving it an early opportunity to do so. The ratifications or the Danish West 'Indies sale are comlni? in by every mall, I. Society Not Degenerating:. R OVULATIONS In the Florence Burns case In New York " have caused ti shock In muny circles and brought from the )ulplt;many stilling hermons. Un doubtedly those revelations! uie signifi cant. 4"he fact that n whole coterie of young men and women, coming' from well-tOfdo homes;und not driven to vice from cqrrupt surroundings or necessity, should deliberately have chosen to cul tivate, unlawful relations indicates a serious defect In their moral training. It is not surprising: that those inter ested. Iij the social welfare should In quire Into the causes of such degen eracy, olid It Is to he hoped that their Inquiries muy he successful, Certainly no permit) of sense lkes to look upon tho WaltoVurooks type as representing a type of young manhood likely to multiply; or upon Florence Burns us an Ideal for American girls to copy, Kven those who are not especially pious and who are Inclined to take a somewhat liberal worldly view of social delin quencies must recognize that clean family iffc 'would he impossible on the basis Instituted by these pleabure seeking Jft'oojrlyn young persons, wjio apparently cabt off all restraint in their gratification of passion and mimicked the unconventlonalltles of tho barn yard. Yet we refuse to believe that such episodes in the social life in our lare , cities are widely representative. It wus S". Ulnot J. Sdvuce who said, the other tiny, that clean living never got Into tho newspaper?, because It wasn't sploy enough. There Is it great deal of truth In that. Tho wholesome ways of nclf-rcspecltiiir men and women.whether married or, unmarried, present no par ticular points of public Intel est, and the eoupequenre li that the emphasis ut type Is saved for scandal it nil crime, tt Is safe to say that dining tho past year the newspapers of New York city, the best us well its tho worst of them, have printed more words about the dolugo uf the tenderloin Its tragedies, vice and tumult than about ull the other portions of the metropolis com bined, notwithstanding that the popu lation of this renter of capitalized sin Is ti small fraction or that of tho entile city. For this stute of things the news papers nt c not to bo blamed, They simply rolleot the natural Instincts and Interests of their readers! and It Is un deniably true that one vicious char acter is ten limes as Interesting to the average person as ten chnracleis who nre just ordinal y in their moral grada tion. Hut tho preponderance of publicity given to vice warns us not to be de ceived thereby. Xo doubt there ure a few Florence Burnscs and Walter Urookses In every populous community and have always been since human nature began. If there wefts not there would be no particular reason why the millennium might not sluit at once. But we venture to say thut they bear almost a negligible piopoitlon to tho whole number of young men and young women, and that the proportion on the whole Is gradually decreasing. In other words,) Instead ot b6ljeving that the re lations of the sexes are becoming less moral than In former times we assert our belief that they aic exhibiting the same advance which is characteristic of other phases of our progressing Christian civilization. AVlille there is plenty of room for Improvement yet, there is no solid ground for pessimism. The fact that men or supposed good morals can be found to stand up in congress and object to the passage of a measure for the bolter piolectlmi of the lire ot the president of the United Slates is one of the strongest aigu inents in favor of its enactment. Restricting Immigration. THERE has been Introduced In the house at Washington with favorable recommenda tion from committee a bill which represents, we are told, the fruit of much study of tho problem of how best to restrict immigration. It brings together in one act a number ot acts in relation to immigration passed at different times by congress; and it also Imposes additional checks and conditions. One of these is a provis-lon for fol lowing up immigrants after their en trance so as to deport those who with in five years shall become criminal or pauper burdens upon state or munici pal institutions. At present the lime limit is one year. The new measure also excludes anarchists, these being defined as persons who believe lu or advocate the overthrow by force or violence of all governments or forms of law or the assassination of public officials; also epileptics and persons who. have been insane within live years of coming here or who have had as many as two attacks of insanity at any time. Provision is made for the periodical Inspection of public chari table institutions with the purpose of detecting aliens who have become pub lic charges within the five-year period so that they may be deported. In a number ot other ways the present laws bearing upon immigration are strength ened. Undoubtedly this act Is satisfactory so far as it goes; but the question re mains, Ought we not to restrict more comprehensively, at least for a time? There are a number of careful students of social and economic conditions who, without entertaining any prejudice against foreigners ns a class or being at nil In sympathy with natlvist move ments, believe with Dr. Francis A. Walker that It Is time for the, United Rtutes to take a rest from wholesale immigration, In order that the great unusslnillated hordes already In muy have a fair opportunity to become Ameilcanized. There are today no piesslng Industrial reasons for the con tinuance of rapid immigration. The country has developed Its gieat Inter nal works in which It nt one time found need of the raw labor of domes ticated Europeans. Of unskilled labor there Is not the dearth which once ex isted; no doubt there Is enough to carry our Industries forward for many yeais without the need of recruiting from abroad. We must remember that labor-saving devices are continually enabling a few skilled workers using new machinery to do the work once performed at greater expense by many unskilled workers, tolling by hand. While a. total suspension of Immigra tion would not be practicable In the present status of International inter course, It is worthy of careful thought whether there ought not to be a very marked curtailment for u time of the incoming tide. This Is demanded by proper concern for the welfare of tho American worklngman, who needs pro tectton against low-wage competition; hut it seems desirable from the much broader standpoint of the t.oo!ul and political welfaro of all grades and con ditions of tho American people. A res olute movement by congress toward such uddttlonal restriction, if made judiciously and without show ot pre judice, would, we believe, bu approved by a large majority of tho substantia) inhabitants of this country, both na tive horn and forolgn. It would not menu Unit immigration Is unwelcome, but thut It must adapt Itself to the a&slmllaMvo powers and capacity of tho welcoming hosts. It is not iiihos pitallty to suggest when the house Is full and people ure sleeping on the floor lhat the front door he closed until more room can be arruuged. An appioprlutlon of 500,000 for public hatha lias just been made In New York. We have no doubt that It la needed. According to Professor Loeb, the Chicago scientist who has undertaken to reproduce life tutiliclully, Intellect Is merely the establishment of median-' leal eqttlllbilunt, 'When the professor gets ills process perfected for estab lishing equilibrium' irH us hope he will let It become public. A member of the "Telephone dlil" company has Joined the salvation tinny In hopes Hint she may In nmcasute alone for the sins ot appearing In the play. This is a hint that the attthois could contemplate with spiritual profit. Turkey evidently does not wish to deprive the contributors of the fund to ransom Miss Htonc of any satisfaction Hint may have accompanied tho sacrifice. There Is some doubt just at present whether the government or the rebels at Colombia are in greatest need of Democratic sympathy. This chilly load that lingers (n the lap ot uprlug Is enough to make one countermand his order for early gar den seeds. Outline SHidi?s of Hainan Nattire. Praying Large.
