E. H. AULL, EDITOR.. THE IIGRATION DEPARTMENT. Governor ieyward has shown wis dom in his appointment cot the new secretary of immigration. If any thing can insure the success of the new department, we believe it will be the appointment of Col. E. J. Watson as secretary, recently made by Gover nor Heyward. Col. Watson has been intimately connected with the work leading up to the establishment of the new department, is thoroughly in sym pathy with the movement, is a hard and tireless worker, and well qualified in every way for the duties of his new office. In addition to this, he has an extensive acquaintance throughout the State, and is liked and esteemed where he is known. We opposed the establishment of the new department because we did not believe that the cost would be jus tified by the possible benefits. True, the State needs a desirable class of immigrants, and the.~cost of the de partment for the first year is compara tively small. But if the ideas of those who brought about the creation of the new departnment are carried out. there will in all probability be a big appro priation asked irom the next general assembly which must be granted. and so it will continue. But since the department has been established we desire to see it suc ceed, and for thatreason we are very much gratified that Col. Watson has been placed at the head of the new dep. ment. The treaty with -Panama has been approved by the United States sen ate, and the r -xt thing in order is the digging of the canal. What a tempta tion for more graft! The Russians have. won their first victory in their war- with .ia;;an. Which we very much regret. It has been said that the death of Senator Hanna will make Mr. Roose velt's nomination easicr, but his elec tion harder. However that- may be, in the death of Senator .Fanna the re publican party has sustained a loss greater than would be a defeat in the presidential election this fall. It looks very much nowv as if Japan will have to end her war with Russia in short order unless she is to suffer very seriously and probably niaal de ieat... Mr. Hearst seems td, be gaining s.trength every day as a eandidate for the democratic nomination for the presidency. It look* v.ery much as if Bryan favors Hearst's candidacy, though Mr. Bryan has refused to com mit himself. Mr. Bryan, however, thinks that of all those wl;o have been mentioned for the democratic nomi .nation, Mr. Hearst can count more supporters than any others one man. In this Mr. Bryan is very probably correct. The Herald and News is now using the latest Mergenthaler Linotype~ for setting its type.
