Il Notwithstanding Philadelphia shows an excess
of over 90 per cent. in its criminal records for
1886, it appears 10, be improving, inasmuch as
there turns for 1865, show The arrests for that
year year to be 3s s657, of which 2S, ,lS7 for
leigners This, as the report says, is Exclusive Of
arrests made by ward officers" " " 90" .-'.'
Il These statistics exhibit fact which should be
particularly noted, as tending to show the eharac-
ters OF foreigners DOW in this country--and We
should have been pleased had the period of their
arrival here been designated, as we are confident
that three-ourtls Of those who have been arrested
fer criminal acts, have not been residents of the
United States for more than ten years. II seems
that OF 657 arrests made in philadelphia for the
year 1855, 2s,ls7 were foreigners; and yet these
hre designated the" better citizens" by the foreign
press OF the country, which is earnestly engaged
IN the work OF establishing them as our rulers.
In this dirty and ant-patriot labor no one is more
mdustriously engaged than the foreign organ of
this city. But this is perfectly natural for the
party to which that party IS attached Is mainly
composed OF foreigners, without whose aid 1t could
not stand day ,Ni'az ~ ..s ~ '.
