WEDNESDAY. APRIL
Ex-Senator is said to be
courting the Alliance for all it is
worth. Before the election he
did not pay much attention to it,
but of late since it defeated him
he says it is the coming power in
the country. Perhaps Mr.
thinks he may in the future get
into public life again by way of
the but he will have to
signs of repentance
and a change of principles before
he can walk into power over the
body that downed him. For him
to be thus doing shows that he
has an to grind, to say the
least of it, and predict that the
Alliance will be slow in taking
hold of him.
While North Carolina mourns
deeply the loss of her most excel-
lent Governor Daniel G.
yet she is to be congratulated that
so worthy a man as Col. Thomas
M. Holt succeeded him as
Chief Executive. Col. Holt is a
man of wide and varied experience,
one much acquainted with public
affairs, and one fully qualified to
fulfill his duties as Governor of a
great State. He has served in the
Legislature has been speaker of
the House and by virtue of his
office as Lieutenant Governor was
of the both of
which positions he filled with
and to the satisfaction of all.
A few times when Gov. Fowle was
out of the State ho filled the office
of Governor. And now since it
has fallen to his lot to
nor he will not be in the dilemma a
man unacquainted with public
fairs would be. Ho was
of several times for Governor, and
in some Democratic Conventions
received some votes for the
nation. have sustained a deep
loss in the death of Gov. Fowle.
but we feel that his mantle has
fallen upon a worthy successor.
May he be equal to his
The recent troubles with the
Italians in Now Orleans and with
the Hungarians in
should lead the next Congress to
devise some method of checking
snob an influx of foreigners into
our country. The doctrine of
America as the home of tho op-
pressed of every land has been
very popular in the past, and it
was expressly embodied in the
constitution that the importation
of foreigners should not be pro
for a certain length of time,
1808 we believe. But while
America has always been the
home of who seek a home of
liberty, and of these who flee from
oppression, it never was intended
to be an asylum or a refuge for
fugitives from justice, as it is now
fast coming to be. We no
objection to good foreigners who
come here and make good citizens,
but while get a few of them we
get thousands who are nothing
more than fugitives from justice,
of whom their own land is only too
glad to be cleared. This is tho
sort of foreign clement get.
To any thinking man it is evident
that it would be much better
to dispense with all than for tho
sake of a few good ones to take the
scum of all lands.
In most all of the sensational
troubles that we have had foreign
era were the foundation of them.
They were the anarchists of Chi-
They caused the troubles
in California, those of Now Or-
leans and in Pennsylvania. They
come to our land with no idea of
our government, with no wish of
becoming good All they
are after is to grab all tho money
they can by fair or foul means.
And yet in the face of this, they
are clothed with citizenship in one
third of the time it takes native
born Americans to obtain it. Is
this fair it right Is there
any sense or justice in allowing a
foreigner, who knows nothing and
who cares nothing of the laws of
our country, to obtain citizenship,
and participate in running our
government sooner than one who
is born and educated in our laws
and customs Our laws tax the
necessary articles from other
countries, such as we are bound
to have, yet they have thrown
our gates free to the cut-
throats, scalawags and vagabonds
of countries, and let them come
over hers and do all the mischief
they can. As long as this is allow
ed we may expect trouble, and we
will have trouble. Something
ought to be done. The interest of
the country demands that some-
thing be done to regulate or pro-
SB influx Of foreigners.

Wash i net on, D. C, April lOrd, 111-
Mr. Harrison's new chum and
most potential adviser is
who bids fair
to become a monomaniac on the
tariff bill by the Billion
dollar Congress, and which bears
his name. Mr. who
knows that reciprocity, of the
limited kind proposed b Mr. Blaine
would result the
death the doctrine of a high pro-
tariff, by causing its
to shine even more
than they do at the present
time, has been working on Mr.
Harrison for quite a while to cons
him that he must stop Mr.
Blaine, even if it was necessary to
force him opt of the cabinet.
would have suited Mr.
son better, but he was afraid of
Blaine, having obtained his
promise to stand off and let him
got renominated, if he could, he did
not care to anger him, but the in-
now arc that
has fully succeeded, no cabinet
officer ever got a more direct snub-
bing from the President than Mr.
Blame did Mr. Harrison
forbid his receiving any
propositions informally or other-
wise from the Canadian
who had been invited here
by Mr. Blame.
It would not have injured Mr.
Harrison in the slightest or have
helped Canadian reciprocity for Mr.
Blaine to have kept his engage-
with the Canadians heard
their informal propositions, Mr.
Harrison was determined to
the Canadians as well as Mr.
and spite of the smiles
with which the Canadians received
Mr. Blaine's little fib,
for the occasion, about the
dent to be present when
their proposition submitted,
they knew that reciprocity with us
was as dead as a door nail as long
as Mr. Harrison is President, and
that they would never be sent for
to submit their propositions to him.
He who thinks that Mr
will tamely submit to being insulted
does know the man. One his
close personal friends said to
to the
of a number of moat important
diplomatic negotiations Mr. Blaine's
hands are for the present tied, but
he gets things in such
that he can leave them without en-
dangering his own reputation, woe
be unto Benjamin Harrison, if he
shall not before then have made
his peace, and Bill isn't
careful he will discover that Mr.
Blaine wields considerable
in Ohio.
In resigning from the Senate Mr.
Edmonds did not forget his lifelong
habits. He makes it take
effect next November, which gives
him an opportunity to continue
drawing the salary daring the re-
without doing any work.
There is doubt here that the
whole thing is cut and dried and
that the governor of Vermont will,
just before Congress meets, appoint
Secretary Proctor to fill Mr.
term in the Sen-
ate.

poor, have been our honored guests

Royal paused beside her chair, and

the case has but one point of view. They
all agree on that. Tho proxy marriage
was no marriage. Under the
stances it couldn't be. A man in
as John Royal was at tho time
of the ceremony, cannot enter into a
contract; the law wouldn't recognize
an act as conscious and voluntary.
Even if he had lived it is doubtful
whether tho proxy would have
stood. It would have given us what we
wanted, fighting chance for
the money. Marriages by proxy are so

reading of the case, the gist

Mrs. Hart's face wore a compassionate
expression, and her voice had tender,
commiserating inflections. She stood by
the window, looking out into the street
with eyes which conveyed to her mind
no image of that on which they rested.
Royal paused in his restless walk and

Mrs. Hunt turned toward him. As
she did she caught an expression on

her curiously of her husband. Her eyes
softened and a smile came to her lips.
She had seen the look before during the
days that they had been together, and
always with mute, wistful
of the tie between them. After
all, he was Phil Royal's son and of their

mind, considerably ameliorated the sit-

a member of the family with blood right
of interference, he had turned out
ply a blundering stranger, whose tender
nature had ruled his reason to such dis-
effect, it is difficult to imagine.
Fortunately for Royal she was not put
to the test. A kinsman, like the shape
of a nose, can be accepted and endured
with the pleasing consciousness that, ex-
the worst is known of him,
while the introduction of a stranger into
one's life may he attended with as grave
risks as those incident to the French no-

Mrs.- Hart loved romance with a
southern woman's love, and moreover
she was gifted with a subtle sense of
humor. Interwoven with the tragic and
pathetic elements of the affair there was
comedy as well, for those sufficiently dis-
engaged to appreciate it. And, for the
life of her, Mrs. Hart could not forbear
imaginative pictures of the self com-
soul of her kinswoman, assert-
comporting itself in the infinite,
sodden y confronted with a view of the
situation as it now stood. Even a dis-

The woman had designed and intended
to marry her cousin John Hart Royal,
and she had Married her cousin John
Hart Royal, and the fact that the man
she had espoused was not the man to
whom she had engaged herself could not
militate against the stronger fact that
had considered the man with whom
she had gone through the ceremony as
the contracting party. This no
declarations would change.
That Hart Royal by suppression of the
fact that he acting as proxy should
have invested himself with entire re-

low as a logical sequence. And any ex
