Mr. Downing, t'he jiew secretary of the National Republican league, Is quoted as expressing the opinion that the contest next year iwlll be fought mainly on the tariff question, and that "the Democratic party will try to evade the Issue and di vide the Republican purty by raia.ng the currency question; but it will not avail If this means anything it means cearly that in Mr, DjWi.iis's view the Repub licans will d.cll.ie 10 take uny stmd on tne money quetUon w.ileh wld divide the parly that is to Kuy, wniuh wi.l not be acceptau.e to the iree si.ver faction ' Tnat was apparently the view wnlcn oeuit.l to prevail with t'iie small poli tician iWno ran me convention of the RepUuhcan icu,ae o.i CVvetaiid, and .ur, umivmig .4 .la. a. y io oe b.auieid ioi - .4 ..e cuncii. fiu.i.i'.uc.it. 01 me ody VmiU ei.c.e-d 11. m. tin. it nug.u be ei,. for itepuiu.ican politicians o'f tills class to understand thai If they thli.k tne next e.ec.iou Is to oe won by a owardl. pul,.. iii iuuii...ig and evasion on th. nij: vuai ana co.iiiiianding Isue of na tional pjiuics, tuey are doomed to d.sap po.n.nient. The tariff question will have its appro priate place amo..u the Issu.s of the coming presidential campaign. The Re publican party w.ll not fall to give It all the prom.nence Its importance m.rlts. But of vastly more urgent Importance than any readjustment of , the tariff which could be brought about by 'Re publican success next year, It is t'hat the country be delivered at once and forever ifrom any apprehension of a change in the money standards 'by placing the monetary system of the country on a solid basis. It was the truckling of the politicians, especially those of it lie Democratic party, :to the demands of the free silver faction, which brought on t'he disastrous panic of 103. It Ls the dangerous strength displayed by that faction in congress, and especially in the senate, which has kept the country for years constantly on the brink of the precipice over which the public credit threatened to go down Into the ti'.ack abyss of repudiation and dishonor, and which has made recovery from the con sequences Of that panic slow and doubt ful. With the exception of fhe representa tives and senators from tho silver mining states, the R. publican party In congress has maintained an unbroken record of fidelity, at least of intention, to the cause of sound money and national honor. And one of the main reisons -why the country Is Impatient to restore the Re. pubilcan party to power In the prev.ill' Irg confidence In the Intelligence and honestly .with which It would deal with the money question. The sure way for It to forfeit that confidence is to turn Its back on the overwhelming sentiment of the pocketJborough mining states. The petty politicians that recommend) that course are not the sort of men whom a young politician like Mr. Dowllng should accept as political guide. The Democratic party has rhown What comes of this kind of thing; It has gone from one step of degradation to another In Its effort to strengthen itseif by cater ing to tvery popular delusion on the currency question until It has lost the confidence of the country, and Is hope lessly divided and demoralised on that very Issue. That party will- have enough to do In patching up a hollow and In effectual truce on this question between Its own contending factions w.thout rail ing any Issue for Vhe Republican party. The 'Republican party iwtll raise Its own Issues, and one of them w.ll be a flat footed declaration for monetary system which wlil make every dollar of American currency good as gold and as good as ny dollar In the wide world. If the One American ship Drummond proves a wreck, as seems probable from late reports current last evening, her owners may set the disaster down to the gross dereliction in duty of Oregon's Pilot commission. It will be remembered that last year, about this time, or per haps a lllt-.e later, a Urge British ship Which had been beating about In the thick smoke oft this coast for many days. narrowly tscaiped destruction on account, nt thtk bIu.m ,.. . . . of th lHt.?w. from itl jjagt 0f ,u,y of the pilot v.-hooner. There is hardly any period of ths ysir when a vigilant pa trol and outlook U more needed along the coast adjacent to the mouth of the river than when the Immense volumes of TTmoke from our burning forests Is pouring as if through a funnel down the gorges of the river and out into the ocean. And yet that ls the very season when our pomlpous commission deems it proper to keep the pilot boat snugly laid up In harbor, undergoing "repairs. Every competent person in Astoria knows that the "repairs" needed by the pilot schooner tills season could have been made In three days, but the schooner has been kept laid up on that flimsy pretext for over two months. The law of Ore gon requires the schooner to be kept on duty at all seasons, and It is Governor Lord's duty to see that the law is com plied with. Of course the commission will be profuse In excuses and explana lions, although enough testimony can be Obtained in Astoria without difficulty to chow the necessity for an overhauling of the pilot commission, not mmvly re- spectlng the to Hi pillar disregard of here referred to, but ro in certain other connections which tne Astorlan may feel Impelled to mention later on. The singular story comes from the other Hide of i:he Atlantic that the per. sistent drought has resulted In Injury to ail crops in Great Britain, the con ditlons be4ng worse than any experienced since the "black year 1879." Usually riie damage ls Ithe other way. The crops suffer 'from too much moisture Instead of from lack of lit, the position of the British teland, right in the weep of winds that nave blown over the Uulf Stream, causing .'he atmosphere of these Islands to be normally surcharged with moisture. Union county, New Jersey, has found good roads proflvaible, t'he lncreass In tax valuations having 'been marked this year. The total assessed values far 1395 are J35,972,D00, an increase ov.r 1SS94 of $1,359,- CK). The must conspicuous pain was nude by Summit, which stands at Jl,8a!,999, an increase o'f $116,000. or over 25 tier cent. Wes.'HeAl advanced $.116,600 to $1,183,1100 and rialnfleij, Cranford and Union had subata.-.ltlal ad'Jitlons to th ass ssed value of t'iielr property. Tho Coxey-I'opullst platform In Ohio c-emands the abolition of nutional banks n.ilch they denounct, with an abundance of bad verbiage. Tho St. Louis Giobo- T.'r nu crut very pertinently says they can i.dt po.-slbly he aware that (joe-fourth a.i I'.ie shares of the national b.inks are owned by 70,697 wdmen. But then it is J 1st like a I'opu'.lst to aim at 11 piu tuerat and hit a widow with a small in. come. "Are We Losl.g '(lie West?" I the title of a new pamphlet that has ap peared In Boston. The answer is In .he alllnmative. What was calird the west is rfow the center, and, in fact, rapid transit is playing t'he dickens with .ill of our poi.JLs of the compass from Sitka to Key West. TRYING TO CHECK IMMIGRATION. An organisation calling Its'. If the Im migration 'Restriction League has pre pared a Dill ion that subject which It Iwemlk to have Introduced In. the next ses&out of congress. It will raise the head tux from $1 .tit $10, and wiOi pro vide for the exclusion of "all persons betweori-M'e aires of 14 and CO who can not read a;id write the English or some ether languaig1.-." It ls averted that the present head tax which ls paid by the steamship com panies, is no check on Immigration, while a tax of $10 would be. That It would make th'.' expense of coming her greater and thus secure a better class of Immigrants. The reading and writing qualification, miilcti 1h nflaUmed to bo the simplest, moat rational and most American test that can bo applied, ls aimed at Imml gram's from Italy, Austria-Hungary, Po land, Russia, and the Orient, a large percentaie of wh'om are Illiterate, es peclal'y the womvn, .while It would hard ly affect ttTe Immigrants from Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, and Scandi navia, only about three-fifths of 1 per cent of whom are Ulitierate. It Is .asserted that this exclusion ot utterly uneducated and unskilled labor would' have a beneficial vffeet on the labor market of-'tbla country. A year ago the Massachusetts legislature made pro- vision for the -appointment of a com mission to consider "th' subject of the unemployed and measures for their re. lief." This year It submitted a report in which it says that "the evil of non employment Is In a considerable measure due to Irresponsible, ill-advised and ill adapted Immigration." It was found '.hat in Boston, and many other larjre cities a large proportion of thoe who nteded. lv.lp last winter were Immigrants who had recently arrived. They were for Vhe most part unskilled. But of such la bor Matachuxvtts liud an abundance, even In normal times. Thus this immi gration was not dur solely to the work ing of .the econumic law ot suw'.y and demand of labor. The oinmUsl.m says: On the other hand, much of recent Im migration' is due, not to a real and per ma'wnt demand for labor In this part ot the country, but rather to A pressed onti abnormal conditions abroad, to novern mental perewutlons, And to Irresponsi ble ar.'i Inaccurate reoresentatlons In I'jfirrpe of industrial conditions In this country. A large part of this recent Immigration moreover, ivnialns in the Eastern cities, unable, through lai'k of means, to go to the West or South, where there may fxiubly be a greuter demand for such l..'3or, or Js ur.illtivd for the agricultural ;ife which mttfht otherwise absorb.lt. A large number of these Immigrants al&v re illiterate and consequently cm rot rise into the ranks of eklilt-d labor. They have Ibecoms cinge:nd in our lsre cHlea, and not o.-.ly find themselves ret.vatedly In ned of relief, butv also depriving the rank and file ot our more permanently stabllshed industrial classes o'f opportunities of working at industrial employments when there Is a temporary Interruplloi: in skilled occu pations. That there is much undesirable immi gration cannot be denied. An attempt la nude lo enforce the laws paased to keep out paupers and criminals, but ot those who do not come under those heds when tW. y land,' many become paupers or criminals r.ot long after they get here. Hungarians In Pennsylvania and Ital ia mi In New Oorieans , and Spring Val ley have not proved desirable acquisi tions. It has be.n hard for the labor market, ven In flush times, to absorb . . ......... .. . . ' . ; 1 1 1 l .i... ,).. nn II jiians vf im-killed labor thrown upon It, and owing to the reckless way in which the courts have administered the naturalization laws ma bavs been con verted Into cltliens merely to become voting cattle. For they know nothing or the principles on. which this government ls based and are Indifferent as to Its welfare. But, on the other hand. It has been the policy of this country from the beginning to admit every man or woman who came herj regardless of their educational qual ifications or lack of them. Hundreds of thousands of men and women came from countries which did not have com prehensive school systems the.t', though they do n'ow. It will . asa.rtei that that policy should not bo abandoned now, Congress, which is very slow lo take ac tion regirding th restriction of lmml gratlon, because 83 many members are cfrald of "an.tagonlz.ng th'.' foreign vote," and being denounced as Know-Nothings, will not be liable to pas the bill of the Immigration Restriction League. THE SUN'S TERRIFIC HEAT. St. Louis Republic. We believe that we ara speaking the truth whien we say that there is not more than or.' person In each 10,000 of the republic's readers who has anything like a correct Idea, of what an Icicle 10 miles in diameter and 200,000 in length would look llkle. It la also true that there Is no nLeefrtty for one being provided with a mind that woiuld enable him to form a correct conception of such a gigantic cylinder of Ice, for there is no probability that any cue will ever live to see an Icicle even, half so large, yet It is interesting to kn'o'w that Sir John Herrchel, the great astronomer, used such an Illustra tion l one of his articles oni the inten sity of the sun's heat. After giving the dlame'J.r of the grea't blazing orb, land a calculation on the amount Of heat radkiKd by eadh square foot of lt im mense surface, he closed by faying that if t were possible for an Iclcla 45 mil) In diameter and 2(10,000 miles Vor.g to plunge HrJto t'h'a sun's great burning sea of giais ilt would be me'.'ted away and ut terly consuml-d even to its vapor in less than one second of time. Such am Icicle would contain more cubic yards of ice than has formed on the rivers and lakes of the United States dur ing the past hundred years; l's base wjiifil cover tlhe average Mitlitjurl couir.ity and r.s lenerth .would be almost sufficient to reach to Mre moon.
