foe four or five hundred foreign paupers
weekly, and the energetic measures OF the
Federal government, cooperating with the
state governments TO put stop to the evil
are to be commended and hailed with salts
faction on all hands. We want immigrants
in this country and want them by the ship
load, but we want men, and men only, who
come OF their own free will and accord, come
with health and means, ana come to swell
either the active labor or the active capital
of the country. We have dead-weights and
paupers enough of our own to support
without ransacking Europe for the
diseased, the halt, the blind and the
INDECENT to swell the burden upon society.
Those who can help themselves
can help as and are welcomed, but when 1T
comes to charity. the popular theory that
charity begins at home" is the correct
one. We trust that at all other ports in the
United States where vessels touch from the
old world the same caution and search Will
be maintained to prevent the further gath
ering of the refuse humanity OF Europe
within our national borders. Such cargoes
are not only detrimental to the moral and
social conditions of the people OF our vari-
GUS communities, but directly threaten our
health physically, and are costly tax
upon public finances.

Miss BRIGHT, the sister Of the Great
Commoner," has visited the Yellowstone
park with the wife Of GENERAL HOWARD,
The visit has attracted interest from the
fact that it lie hoped it will be the means OF
inducing JOHN BRIGHT himself to pay q
visit to America. For long years the
United States have been an object OF
special attraction and admiration on the
part of Mr.. BRIGHT, but his aversion to the
sea has prevented him from crossing the
Atlantic and seeing for himself the country
about which he has heard and read so
much with an interest amounting to enthu,
siasm. There is no foreigner whom Amer.
lea would or ought to honor and welcome
more cordially than JOHN BRIGHT.

too old and wary to charge upon an indi-

out that those injured innocents propose to
sue the New York Times for libel unless 1t

PAUPER IMMIGRATION.

Whether in view Of the address recently
made before the president by the Irish rep
resentatives or by reason of the growth
and prominence Of the evil, but from some
cause the government has begun active
measures to stop the importation Of foreign
and especially aBritish paupers into this
country. Our Geographic reports refer to
the efforts that are being made and to be
made to prevent the landing Of such pau.
pers at New York or to secure their return
to their former homes, In case they have
been landed. The action Is both timely
and wise, for but few know the extent to
which this costly nuisance has grown. The
burden Of the care, and support Of all
these psupers falls upon those Ameri-
can citizens Of the same nationality Of
the immigrant generally, but not
infrequently upon the community at large
into which they are carried. At any rate
and In either case 1t 10 Q heavy burden. and

manner as not only to warrant but to drive

1t may be stated that day or two ago sixty
families Of paupers, their passage paid BY
the British government, landed In New
York; Just few days before not less than
800 immigrants landing at the same port
