A New View Of Immigration

White immigration has generally been
regarded in the United States as good
thing for the country, even when it con-
sisted Of class possessing little or no
capital beside their strength and willing
ness to employ it in honest work. But
recently quite different view Of the
subject appears to have developed itself
in certain quarters.
Paterson IN. j. is a thriving manu-
featuring city, abounding in extensive
paper mills, silk mills and other indus
tries, for the carrying on of which the
magnificent water power furnished by
the Passaic river can be made available.
1t maintains very large manufacturing
population, which finds employment in
these mills. Within the last three
months that population has been aug
mented by the arrival of some 1000
English immigrants, many of them
wsavers seeking employment in the silk
mills II appears from the New Jersey
papers that the new comers are re-
garded with hostility by the resident
weavers, who fear that they will reduce
the rate of wages to the English stand.

are not likely to desire, inasmuch as
their object in seeking new home was
to better their condition. Nevertheless
we note that several journals in COM
menting upon this influx of skilled la
Dor express the same fear, and speak of
Surplus immigration" as an evil to be
guarded against.
Such fears are, however, idle. The
time is yet far distant when this class of
immigrants can be regarded as an evil
The local department Of Paterson Jour
nal, which editorially expresses this
kind Of apprehension, records the fact
that the arrival of these English work
ingmen has already given great i'm.
petus to building in the town and its
suburbs, and that small dwelling houses
for their accommodation are going up in
every direction. This fact is proof that
there is room for the newcomers in Pat

after that vessel saw her, and was told
by Captain Barnes that the steamer had
gone north among the loose and pack

that a great error has been committed
in sending such an expedition out in a
vessel like the Jeannette, with not
power enough 10 work off a lee shore
in a gale of wind. II was certainly
to be hoped that her expedition
would be successful. They encoun-
tered a great deal of ice in the Straits
as they came out-something unusual
and the voyage down the coast was an
extremely tempestous one. Sunday
morning the wind, which had been
blowing from the southwark and east
ward, got around into the northwest,
and blew a gale. Captain Homan, Of
the Hunter, said that he was within 40
miles of Wrangel Land early in October.
He saw no sign of the Jeanette. IL
she was in the situation described by
Captain Barnes when he last saw her,
he thought she might have got into the
pack, and if so, it was highly prob
lematical when she succeeds in getting
out. Captain Homan thought it would
have been to the ultimate advantage of
Captain De Long if he had spoken
to the Sea Breeze and availed himself
Of the experience Of her commander and
other whaling captains in the fleet.
Captain Homan is the captain who, a
few years since, struck and captured
large bow head in the Arctic, in which
was found harpoon belonging to slip
that had been whaling off the coast of
Greenland four years previous. In fact
he had on his vessel boat steerer who
was on the ship Ansell Gibbs at the
time the whale was struck, and
recollected the circumstance Of his es-
cape after the boat was fastened.-a fact
which shows that making the Northeast
passage is no new thing with the whale
family. Captain Williams reports Sc
we're season in the Arctic, and a very
rough passage down from Fox Island.
Nov. 9Th and 9th he had severe gale of
wind, which blew from nearly every point
of the compass within twelve hours,
during which the Hidalgo lost her lower
foretopsail, and fore and mainsails, the
wind blowing them clean out of the bolt

WHY DO WE ExPoRT wHEATs

An able British writer upon mercantile
matters has put the question: ''Why do we
import wheat when we consume 6our?" On
this side of the ocean it might be Of advan-
tage to US to ask: "Why do we export wheat,
when we might export four2" If we manu-
factured the wheat into -four. instead of ex-
porting the grain, we should have large
amount of employment for labor that now
goes into the hands of other nations. We
should build and run large and innumerable
mills, employing an army of men. Our bag
ging trade would be immense, as the export
ing would be done in sacks, not barrels. We
should have the bran as commodity to sell,
which we have not now. The great thing
about the change, however, would be In the
decreased expense of shipment and handling.
The space occupied by ten thousand bushels
of wheat in ships hold, and that occupied
by the product of those ten thou
sand bushels of wheat are two
very different things. We deprive
ourselves of the profit of milling the grain IN
order that we may have to pay for the trans
porlation of large weight of material, when
we might have those profits if we would
modestly be contented to pay for a compare
tive small weight. To ship -four and
not wheat, the English writer to whom
we have referred says, is to follow one
of the plainest and most direct of economical
laws-to save an important part of the chief
cost of placing the article on the market.
Another thing is that the moment the flour
reaches the market it is ready to meet the
consumers demand, IN the shape of wheat it
is not And still further, only those peoples
that have mills can take wheat, but -four is
a wanted article wherever bread is eaten.
With our grain manufactured into -four we
should have customers at any seaport in the
world-where the stupid policy of ''protec-
ton" does not interfere-with the grain it.
self our customers are limited to the nations
that have the necessary facilities for grind
ing; this fact alone is sufficient reason for
the change. Take the whole matter together,
it looks as if "there were millions in it"

THE EXODUSTERS
The Victims of Miserable MismRnaSe.
ment and Imposition at Topeka,
Kansas - Plenty of Clothing,
Blankets and Money, but
Not In Reach-A Man
by the Name or
Thompson.

Topeka (Ks.) Capital, oath: 1--WE visited
the fair grounds this morning for the purpose
of examining into the condition of the col
ored people quartered there. For several
days we have heard rumors to the effect that
there was a fearful want of management in
the care OF the poor sick people there. Not
wishing to do anything to assist in the circu-
lation of story that might not be true, we
have kept still. This morning we found
about seventy refugees on the grounds, a
large proportion of them being women and
children. Of this number there are at least
twenty who are sick and unable to do any thing
toward supporting themselves. One woman
hasl been and still is very sick with pne-
monia and pleurisy, while her little boy,
some seven or eight years old, has measles.
Two or three men have consumption, and
may possibly not recover. One old nan is
very low with bloody hux, and chances are
that he will die. And right here we enter
our protest against the management, or
rather mismanagement in the case of the
sick. The little boy with measles, and he is
very sick indeed, was laying on the hard
floor with nothing under him but an old
piece of canvass. His condition was enough
to touch the heart of any person who has a
heart, but he was far more comfortable than
one other person there. The old man, who
was SO very bad with the fiux, was In a room
by himself, and the only thing he had in the
his shoulders, and a blanket wrapped about
him. And the stencil of the room was SIM
ply horrible. The poor old fellow had no re-
lations or friends there to assist him, is I'M
able to wait on himself, and has been in just
| the condition we find him for days. While
this relief association has been in daily re-
ceipt of money and clothing, have bales of
blankets piled up in the rooms of the secre-
| tary, and are receiving SO much praise for
their goodness in doing what they can tc
ameliorate the condition of the refugees, this
! poor old man, for whom a portion of this
money and clothing has been sent, has
lain there in that lonely room withou;
care, without proper food, and absolutely
| without bed. It is shameful. There
| can be no excuse for this condition of
things, try as hard as they may to make
| it appear that there is. After leaving thu
| Fair grounds we called upon the secretary o
| the association, and from him we learned tina
some man by the name of Thompson hai
charge of the people out there, and that hi
had not reported any such condition of things
| The secretary has been out to the ground one
time since the colored people have been sen
there, and if any other member of the asso
citation has been there that often, we have no
| heard it. ?"

Escape In Various
Ways.

HAGERsTowN, Nd, May 29.-About two
o'clock this morning a FIRE was discovered in
the lower floor of the Washington house in
this place. and before the alarm could be
given the fire had gained such Roadway that
the flames rushed up the stairs, completely
cutting off all escape. There were upward
of sixty persons on the register, beside the
regular boarders, nearly all of whom were
compelled to escape by climbing down the
porch pillars. Several of those who escaped
in this way sustained serious injuries by fall
ing. One man made a rope of his bed
clothes and attempted to escape in that way
from the fourth floor, but the rope broke as
he reached the third floor, and he is now ly-
ing in a very critical condition. A child of
the agent of the Cumberland Valley railroad,
while climbing down the porch from the
fourth floor, fell, and is supposed to be fatal
ly injured. Two bodies have been found in
the ruins, burned to- crisp. One of them is
L. Tropell, of Cumberland, and the other one
is unknown. There are six persons missing,
supposed to be burnt and in the ruins. Eff
teen persons are injured seriously from fall
ing and about twenty slightly injured.

Fresh Air for Children.

A fresh air fund for the London children Is
asked for by the Ladies sanitary association
of that city, which says, in a circular to
managers of ragged schools: Medical care
does not seem so needful as free exercise in
open, good air. With view to secure this
for them, the Ladies' sanitary association are
willing to pay the expenses of the children
in ragged schools going into the parks IN
groups of not less than nifty twice each week,
weather permitting. The time should be
chosen so as to interfere as little as possible
with school work, and from four to seven
o'clock in the evening is thought to be very
suitable for the summer months. The pro-
position of the ASSOCIATION is that if you will
give effect to their wishes they will bear the
expense of a person accompanying them
say two shillings for each time the children
are so taken. Each group would be COM
posed of the children of one school; but if a
school be too small to furnish fifty, the ladies
would not object to two small schools going
together and forming one group"

THE EHROUGM FREIGHT TRICK.

Evidence ID accumulating every day that
some change must take place In the way the
railroads arrange their charges. 1t is to be
hoped that the abuses that exist will lead TO
their own correction, by their effects becom-
ing unbearable even to those who now uphold
the system. If an interior reform fails to set
an, then legislation-clear, sharp and de-
cisive-must interfere and secure justice. The
monster evil in the railroad policy is what is
known as "the through freight system. !"
This means that railroads compete with each
other for certain main points, while they have
a monopoly of intervening points. For in
stance, in cities of Importance there are more
than one railroad by which freight can be
sent to New York, while there is only one
railroad to places thirty, fifty or hundred
miles off. In their keen contests to get
Through freight to New York for them
selves, and to deprive their rivals of that
freight, 1t Is often taken by ''smart" railroad
directors at rate that pays no profit, or even
nets a loss Yet the roads that do this
are prosperous, and pay good dividends to
the stockholders. How is this accomplished?
BY charging for freight along the line, where
there is no competition, sufficient to secure
the regular dividends, and, where loss is in
CURED in carrying Through freight" enough
to pay that less also. In this way stations
confoed to one road are between the mp
per aud the neither milestone. They are
charged FIRST by monopoly, where there is no
competition; next by competition when
there are rival through" lines. They must
suffer the first wrong because, having access
TO only one railroad. they must pay, per-
force, what the road chooses to demand.
They suffer the second wrong because what
the road loses In its Through freight must
be made up on the "way freight, >" or the
stockholders would get no dividends. This
is certainly a pretty state of things, but a
state of things that will quickly
cease to exist when the people in
general distinctly perceive how
they are blockmailed and plundered.
But can this state of things literally and truly
exist we can imagine some reader exclaim-
ing, a reader who wishes to be no more un-
just to railroads than to anything else. If
such reader will inquire how the cotton
trade OF Holly Springs was taken away from

ness into the ground; but it pays, neverthe-
Iess-that is to say, it does not pay the rail-
roads to do business at that rate. but as long
as they can make it up on way freights, what
is the difference? On the same principle
they might just as we'll take the -four through
from the Mississippi for nothing; it is the
business community at intermediate points
between the Mississippi and the Hudson that
must foot the bill. People will grow tired
one of these days of thus putting their hands
in their pockets to pay the cost of bringing
western produce to the seaboard free.
