THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
THE PROTECTOR
OF THE IMMIGRANT.

The North American continent consti.
tutes q gigantic reservoir into which all ma
uonailties are poured. Its discovery being
almost simultaneous with the invention OF
the art OF printing, the New World neces.
sarily became the harbinger of the most
advanced systems of thought in philosophy
science, and religion. Various national
types struggled to gain a foothold in Amer
lea. Spain conquered South and Central
America, but its influence and dominion
have departed, and only some of its worst
national influences remain to plague with
anarchy and revolution the existing South
American nations. France also lost its
foothold, and the Colonies of Holland and
Denmark occupy only few islands of minor
Importance. The English Colonies alone
fourished and increased, so that for nearly
two hundred years, until the Colonial re-
volt, America was continuation of Old
England, with only such notifications as
circumstances demanded. Since the begin
ming of this century America has been
sought by various nationalities, chief among
them being the German and the Irish.
The movement of German, Swedish, and
Norwegian immigration began later, and has
only reached enormous proportions within
the last twenty five years.
From 1861 to 1871, (ten years,) the Irish
contingent of this column of emigration
reached a total of 68l COG souls.
From England and Scotland the number
aggregated $40, l26. A large proportion of
this emigration must have been Irish in
character also.
The number of Germans in the ten years
named was S36,448.
From Scandinavian countries the decade
brought to our shores 96,O57 persons.
From other countries the total number of
emigrants during the period named was
1921.
To recapitulate, the total emigration from
1861 to 1871, from different countries, was
as follows:
From Ireland. .... .......... 6S1, 6O6
From England and Scotland....... $40, 100

LANDING FOREIGN CRIMINALS.

At present no law or treaty exists to pre-
vent the landing of foreign criminals or con-
victs pardoned on condition of emigrating
to the United States. 1t is known that for.
eign countries have sent criminals here
undergoing punishment for their offenses
State enactments could not reach such an
evil. The Federal Government could only
deal with the subject. 1t is provided in the
bill now before Congress that it shall be
unlawful to land in the United States any
person who has been convicted of an infa-
nous crime, or who has been in State prison
for other than political offenses, or who has
been pardoned or released on condition that
he should emgrate to the United States.
Such persons may be taken in custody, if
prima tacie evidence exists, until their char
acter may be ascertained; and said crimi-
nails shall be returned to their own country
at the expense of the vessel that brought
the same, and the vessel, master, or owner,
or agent, shall forfeit, as special penalty,

IMPROVED RAILROAD TRAVELLING.
FRAUDS PRACTIcED IN EUROPE.

Great impositions have been practiced
abroad on emigrants about embarking for
the United States by persons representing
themselves as agents for the sale of railroad
tickets on the principal lines of the United
States. Mr.. Conger's bill will, if it be-
comes law, put an effectual end to the i'm.
position heretofore practiced in this respect.
Section % reads "Thas contracts made
in a foreign country for the transportation
Of immigrant passengers to interior portions
of the United States shall be illegal, unless
stamped by the Superintendent of Immigra-
ton; but he shall stamp the same if it APP
pears they are to the advantage of the immi-
grant. If they are to his disadvantage the
Superintendent shall prosecute the parties
who attempted to act under them"

SEPARATING CHILDREN FROM MOTHERS

ly dependent upon the good will and charity
of the neighborhood in which he happens to
be settled. In New York the commissioners
are compelled to support the pauper immi
grant out of the capitation tax. Large and
commodious buildings are constructed on
Wards Island, and paupers are sent there,
but practically, this duty is shrked,. and
the poor, who are compelled to seek
this refuge, and who have no friends who
will probably pay their board bills, are
treated in a manner that will soon drive
them from their asylum.
If a woman goes there with children, the
testimony shows that every child two years
of age is separated from the mother, and
placed in charge of the commissioners of
charity. The mortality among infants in
the public institutions of New York is so
great, that the separation amounts, in nine
cases out OF ten, to sentence of death.
BURYING IN THE PoTrERs' FIELD.

not coffin-and buried in trenches on
Harris Island, with all the other paupers of
New York city. Deep trenches are dug and
this box is placed in one of these, three in a
tier. When box is lowered few shovels
of earth are thrown over it, and thus box after
box is placed until the trench is filled up.
A recent New York paper in describing
Harris Island, where these paupers are
buried, says, "that large mastiffs are allowed
to roam about at night to secure the corpses
from the body. snatchers; and that these
fierce animals often break into the pine
boxes, and drag the human bodies across

be aroused to action by horrors like these
cannot be moved by eloquence, however
powerful and dazzling.
