Three million errors in a single year Is the unenviable record of the peetofflce as served by Democrats; and the postal service grows worse and worse every day, by the displacement of experienced and faithful route agents, because they are Republicans, and the putting In their places of Insufficient and Incompetent men, be- eaase they *re Democrats. Soelal Peats a ad Incendiaries. The events of Chicago,'of Milwaukee,] of New York, prova that & large per­ centage of the foreigners to whom wo j have g iven welcome a re unwor thy of j it; that they are often idle, vicious, socialists and anarchists, social pest* and incendiaries, and that, broad as the land is, it Is yet too narrow for such a* they are. It was not long ago that the consul at Zurich wrote to the New York Tribune that scarcely an emigrant ship landed* upon our shores that does not bring with It dozens of paupers who are paid to come here, mixed With jail-birds fleeing from justice and readily permitted to escape, Net only that, but the larger ] part of the emigrants who come here "have been either failures at home, or j unfortunate and unlucky men, so called who could never prosper anywhere. No small part are aJventurers, seek Ing fortunes, political or otherwise, in a country where they hava good reason to believe the most worthless may rUe to position." K the state­ ment? of this officer of the Federal Government are to be relied upon, tt Is the offscourings of the. Old World that are coming to us--the paupers, anarchists, socialists, and criminals^, together with a scant mixture of better materials. AH we can hope Is that his description of the character I of European immigration is a prejudlc- ] ed one, and that it Is better than he thinks. But, be It better or worse, many striking events of the last year; or two have demonstrated that no harm could follow seme wholesome restrictions of the great alien influx. At least some guarantee of merits en­ titling a foreigner to the privileges of full citizenship should be exacted. If it be just that the son of native born American parents shall not ex­ ercise the rights of citizenship until he has lived in his country twenty-one years, It is not juat that an alien shall1 exercise the same right in Ave years. There should be adopted either some means to purify the great tide of im­ migration. or to check It to some degree. 5 OUR HANDSOME .. TO LADY READERS* AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER. JQTSuit was begun is the United States Court at Milwaukee Monday, by William H. Holister aga1n|t the trustees of the Wisconsin Centra) Railroad and their registrar, for judg­ ment far interest due on bonds Issued July 1,1871, foreclosure of the mort­ gage, a cam pie te accounting, and the appointment of a receiver to take charge ef all the business covered by the mortgage of 1871. ill WE are satlcied that John E. Barton the Lake Geneva Millionaire, don't want all of the earth. Reoently, look­ ing over his prosperity, and seeing how a friend, one John Baskins, bad atood by him '.financially In timeB past when money was scarce and friends few, and although said Haskins had discharged all legal claims on him, he figured up what bis claim and interest would amonnt to, and found it would be 923,335,52; Deducting from this a $10,000 endowment insurance policy which he had carried for Haskins, he drew his check for 911.325,52 and sent to bias, a hearty "God blip i©p."-- Mrfha trouble In the ranks of the Knights of Labor assumes graver pro­ portions daily. A circular has been Not to all prominent Knights of Labor la several western states by Local Assembly 8,123 of of Portland, Oregon, denouncing Mr. Powderly tor fata rejoicing over the result of the Chicago municipal election, and em­ bodying resolutions passed by the assembly demanding that Mr. Pow derly be deposed from office. The Chicago New* says that the Knights are on the eve of a great revolt, and tbe^clrcular is the result of a concerted move by whlob. If the assembly is suspended, a geneial withdrawal from tbe order will follow. TO ALL WANTINO EMPLOYMENT. We want live, energetic and capable agents in every county in the United States and .Canada to sell a patent article of great, merit. OK ITS MERITS. An article having a large sale, paying over one tanndred pur cent profit, and on which the agent is protected in the exclusive sale by a deed given for each and every county he" mav secuie from us. With all these advantages" from our aeents, and the fact that it is an article that can be sold to every house-owner, it might not be necessary to make an "extraordinary offer" to secure gooil agents at once, but we have concludeded to make it in order to show, not only our confidence in the merits of our in­ vention. but in its salabilitv by any ageat that will handle it with energy. Our agents now at work are making from floO to 9600 a month clear, and this tact makes it safe for us to make our offer to all who are out of em­ ployment Any agent that will giveour busi­ ness a thirty days' trial and fail to clear at least |100 in this time, ABOVE ALL EXPENSES, can return all goods unsold to us and we will refund the money paid for them. Anv agent or general agent who would like ten or more counties and work through sub-agents for ninety days, and fail to clear at least $750 ABOVE ALL EXPENSES, can return all unsold and get their money back. No oth^r employ of agents eyer dared to make such an offer nor would we if we did not know that we have agents now making more than double the amount we guaranteed; and but two sales a day would give a profit of #125 a month, and that one of our agents took eighteen orders in one day. Our large descriptive circulars ex­ plain our offer fullv, and these we wish to send to everyone out of employment who will send us three one-cent stamps for postage. Send at once and secure the agency in time for the boom, and go to work on tbe terms named in our extraordinary offer. We would like to have the address of all the agents, sewing machine solicitors and carpenters in the country, and asks any reader of this pa­ per who reads this offer, to send us at once the nane and address of all such they know. Address at once or you will lose the best chance ever offered to those out of employ­ ment to make money. &EKXER MANUFACTURING CO, 116 Smithtield St., Pittsburg, Pa.
