fully emphasizes the oft-repeated at,'
sertion of The Economist that the immigration laws of Canada need to bo

menace to tho well being of the Do«

what is decent they becoiuo u charge
on the community, eitlior as street
lneiidicanls or inhabitants of the in-

for restricting the activity of the vicious

unlikely that McSwain would ever bar»
been pot in it ted to land. It is an ui.«
fortunate policy which permits the
scum of Europe to enter our country
and by the aid of our common schools
freely opened to them, to acquire sufficient oducatiein to collaborate with
Mr. Blakemore in the editorship of the
Tribune. A ejiobo in private life is
disgusting, but comparatively innocuous, as editoi, even of the Tribune,

a poplar thing if he »hoa/ed his respect

by all hit subjects by repudiating one«
and for ever that disgraceful German
thing known as a morganatic marriage.
