COMMUNICATIONS.
Kindness to Cats.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 Will you please find room in your valuable paper for this little paragraph, which cut from the New York Evangelist
 The Boston Transcript tells of family who going into the country this summer, turned their pretty kitten which had been fonded by their little daugh into the streets, to starve be cared for by neighbors. We know like case. When the family returned, the pussy was just sufficiently alive to crawl to the feet of her mistress and endesvor to rub herself against her aectionatey. II shall never forget that appealing look said the lady to it went to my heart.' And well it might. Such heart lessness deserves the strongest censure.
 In the neighborhood in which I live often see little kittens turned out of house and home by thoughtless people to suffer with cold and hunger and to die by inches I think it a great pity that there is no pound here, where poor, defenceless animals can be taken and have their existence terminated in some merciful manner. I have been told that there is place provided for homeless animals in Philadelphia and New York. $.

The Chinese were about one-third as many as the Irish and one-ffth as many as the Ger mans. In no year have the Chinese immi- grants numbered 10000. The highest num- bers have been in 1875, 19,O33 in 1876, 16,- S79; in 1867, 1O,379. During the past eight years the Chinese immigration has been less than five per cent of the whole number of immigrants. Next, taking the total immigra- tion into the United States from the begin ming of any definite statistics GS20), and we find, in the whole sixty years 224 1927 Chi nese, 2,e9O, ,523 Irish, and ,, 992, 143 Germans. The Chinese have been one-twelfth as many as the Irish, thirteenth as many as the Germans and only two per cent of the total number of immigrants Cover ten millions) since 1920.
 From these figures it will be seen that the politicians make quite as great an ado over the Chinese question as the facts warrant. Calmer and more intelligent consideration of it is sadly needed.

 [From the New York Herald.I
 DENVER, Col, Nov. 1.-The streets to-day present many evidences of yesterdays riot Scores of frame brick and adobe shanties, which formed the places of residence and of business of the heathens, are to-day wrecks and scraps of Chinese furniture, such as bro- ken bedsteads, chairs and tables and old hats, coats and shoes, as well as much dilapidated linen which had been put out to wash, are quite plentiful on the streets even squares away from the Chinese houses As for the Mongolians themselves, not one is to be seen on the streets They have disappeared sud denly and entirely, but they have not left the country.
 THE RAID ON THE CHINESE
 My telegram last night closed with the be- ginning of the real raid upon the Celestials This did not close until Il o'clock and until every wash house, opium den, Chinese store and residence in the city had been visited and most of them broken open and sacked. The inmates fled for their lives and hid them selves wherever place that promised secur- ity seemed to open. They reminded one of a bevy of cartridges suddenly come upon by sportsmen.
 PROTECTION AFFORDED.
 The police gave them every protection in their power, and succeeded by 12 o'clock in getting 198 men and eight women and two children together and taking them to the county jail where they were locked up for safety Others succeeded in finding friends among the citizens and many cellars were stored with the frightened creatures, while many found shelter in the basement of the American Hotel. They have all been collect ed to-day, and at this writing the entire Chi nese population of Denver are the guests of the county, finding bed and board at the jail. Here they sleep in layers and are packed in as closely as possible. They have remained there to-day, not being allowed and not wish ing to go out.
 STATEMENT OF LEADING CHINESE
 I called to see them during the day and had a conversation with their head man. He was almost in tears, and in response to ques- tions said the Chinese in Denver had endeav ored to conduct themselves quietly they had sought no employment outside of their wash ing, and in that had not sought to reduce prices; he could not, therefore, understand the present demonstrations. His property, as we'll as that of all others of his nationality, had, he said, been destroyed, and they were in constant fear that the jail might be at tackled and the entire party massacred.
 There were so many people in the streets yesterday and last night that it was impossi- ble to obtain comprehensive statement of the riot, and even at this time the task is diff ficult The most reliable reports, however,

SOME NEEDED INFORMATIoN.

The campaign is over, and the Chinese question will probably be allowed to rest for awhile until the politicians have further use for it. Meanwhile some facts bearing upon the matter, collected by correspondent of the Boston AdUertiser, will be of service to those who are not politicians These facts have been gathered from the reports of the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washing ton.
 His last report for the three months ending June 30, 1880, contains the statistics of inn migration for the year from June 30, 1879, to June 30, 1880, from which it appears that the total number of immigrants from all countries was 457, ,257-the largest number ever arriving in any single year. In 1872 there were 437, 75O, and in 1873 422,54 These are the next largest numbers. But the Chinese are very small part.
