THE CHINESE INFLUX.

During the present year over 1900
Chinese have been landed in San
Francisco from foreign ports, exclu-
sive of the $50 on the Oceanic, who,
in all probability, will be added to the
list. Under the restriction act of 1882,
the number Of Chinese who arrived at
the port directly from China in the
period Of % months was 6,745. The
new restriction act, so-called, was ap-
proved July 5, 1884. Under this act
in IL months, there have been landed
here S,139 Chinese, or 1,4O0 more in
one year than were brought in %
months under the old act. Every day
contributes some new dodge to the
list of schemes for evading the pro-
visions for the imperative restriction
act, Any Chinaman who can prove
to the federal courts that he has been
a former resident Of San francisco Is
allowed to land. II the Chinaman
thus admitted obtained a certificate
for sale a bring a companion with
him or send the document back to
China to be utilized in the seherae of
Of wholesale immigration. The Gus
tom house keeps no account of Chi
nese who arrive on vessels from do
mestic ports.

NOWHERE is there a better opportu-
nifty for an investment than presents
in Montana today. The agricultural
lands Of the Territory are reasonably
low when we consider the very limited
area that is susceptible of cultivation,
as compared to u pastural and min
ing areas. Fine farm and meadow
lands commanding immense range
privileges are to be had at a very
small advance on the government
price, with Improvements. added. Such
locations, every one knows, are worth
infinitely more than the mere CONNER
cial value Of the soil, yet Montana
lands have not yet reached a point
where this is properly considered,
Therefore he who invests now is bound
to reap a rich reward when once the
people begin to realize the scarcity
Of such lands. And we would say to
farmers get all the land you can with
being eneHfnherea with debt for an
advance will surely come and thatin a
few years. The stock industry also
offers a good field for speculation;
there is, it is true, but little hope Of an
advance in cattle, but at present prices
stock cattle yield a splendid incomeon
the investment, and there is no prob
ability Gifts proving Sheep
although low, / also yielding q good
interest, and there is a strong proba-
bility Of their making an advance
which would make the investment
doubly sure. Horses are in the same
category as sheep. They rule low but
with the development Of a market
will become as firm as any other stock
and quite as remuneratiye. AS be-
tween a live stock and a real estate
investment it would be hardt to choose.
Stock, if economically managed, would
grow the investor out of almost any
financial pinch in a few years and are
a commodity that can be forced upon
the market at almost any time. With
land it is different. It is safer, not
being perishable, but can scarcely be
forced into the market. But either
will pay a better interest than money
is loaning at in the east.-Husband-
| man.

LAND Commissioner Sparks in a re
cent decision, withdrew indemnity
limits along nearly every land grant
railway in the United States. It is
estimated to effect at least 100000
acres. OF this amount 100000 is
withdrew from the Northern Pacific.
While the rulings and orders Of Com
missioner Sparks have in some in
stances been harsh and inconsistent,
yet in this matter we believe he will
receive the support of a majority of
the people. Too much land has been
gobbled up by these corporations,
which has been the means of retard-
ing the development Of many of tn e
Territories.

THISas I coming to a pretty pass
when English cattle kings and their
cowboys can cause Indian troubles
and then fill the country with lying
reports OF a terrible attack on the
part Of the savages. This appears to
have been done in Colorado, in regard
to the grossly exaggerated difficulties
with the Utes. Whatever troubles
have occurred may be charged to a
syndicate Of foreigners, and the same
parties have sent out alarming re-
ports Of violence. 1.-THE lawless whites
in the vicinity Of Indian reservations
were kept in order and the grasping
cattle companies vigorously excluded
from Indian lands, there would be
much less heard Of Indian ~outrases.

Mr.. A. NJ. Ross, member of the
Canadian parliament, in a recent
speech on the Canadian Pacific rail
road, said that the wheat lands Of the
United States are nearly all taken up,
and that the great future source of
immigration into Canada would be
the United States. He thinks in about
seven years the rush to Manitoba and
the neighboring provinces will begin
from Minnesota and Dakota. Our
Canadian neighbors are very sanguine,
but it is possible they may be greatly
disappointed in the volume of Ameri-
can immigration, We have quite an
ire Of unoccupied wheat land yet,
and will be able to give England all
the wheat she may need for a long
time.-Pioneer Press.

SECT.

The Philadelphia Times Of & recent
date has d long article upon the Har-
monists. a community at Economy,
Beaver county, Pennsylvania. The
community wa started in ITO, and
they lived together Ike brothers and
sisters, practicing, it is said, the strict
est morality. They do not believe IN
marriage; they jointly own the lands
stock, bonds and herds, the aggregate
value Of which at the present day is
estimated at sevcnty-tiVe million dol
lars. The Times says: Besides own
ing all Of Economy and large part
Of Beaver, they own an entire county
in Dakota, near the Red River OF the
North" It is doubtful if this last
statement is entirely in accordance
with the facts, but t shows that even
sach peculiar people as the Harmon
lists are anxious to have possession OF
| some OF the bests lands on the surface
Of the globe. Dat Of their surplus
money they have built and equipped
the Pittsburg 4 Erierailroaa, running
through an extremely fertile country
from Pittsburg to Youngstown, and
they owned a controlling interest in it
till the Pittsburg was sold to the Van
derbilts. Their investments ia this
property are said to have yielded
them sevcnty-hye per cent. 1t IS Il
matter Of history that in 81, when the
war broke out, they converted alltheIr
bonds and available property into
money and buried it in the ground,
afterwards using their treasure for
the building of the road. The pay
ments thus made putin circulation an
immense amount OF silver, many OF
the pieces dating back to 1900. Ever
ything is owned i'll common: the gro
Ger, the baker. the butcher and the
milkman go the rounds every dayand
supply the necessities and d few Of the
luxuries Of life, and no bills ever fol
low these tradesmen. Nothing can be
purchased in the village Of Economy,
and it is probably the only town in the
world where a man cannot, if he de
sires, spend money. The colonists are
liberal and constantly doing acts OF
benevolence. A good story is told of
the president Of the community some
twenty years ago, who imagined that
there was too much familiarity be-
tween the young lei and malaens,
and so promulgated an order that all
females appearing on the streets after
dark must carry lanterns, but the
merry-making continued although nc
lanterns appeared. An investigation
however, revealed the fact that the
worthy old gentleman had neglected
to order that the lanterns should be
lighted. Owing to the fact that the
law prohibits marriage, the sect IS di-
minishing and now there are only
thirteen men and thirty women left
out Of & large colony, According tc
their laws as long as three of them
remain together the property is to re.
main intact, but when one Of the fina.
trio dies, the other two lose all right
to the property. As there are no heirs
the seventy-hye million dollars which
they possess will then go to the STATE
of Pennsylvania.

CYCLONE pits have promoted a
schism in a Milton county GA church
Some of the members had dug and
fitted up such places Of refuge which
were considered by the majority Of
the brethren as a fragrant violation Of
their doctrine, and a temptation to
God to wipe them off the face of the
earth, AS the pit diggers are more
fearful Of cyclones than Of the wrath
Of God, they organized themselves

TRADE between Canada and the

trade between New York state and
Massachusetts. The natural market
of Canada is this couptry, both fu'
buying and for selling, and if the ar
titicial obstacles that now restrain
trade relations were removed an en-
ormouss increase in international
trade would take place, greatly to the
advantage of both participants in it.
That such a condition Of affairs has
been 50 long delayed reflects much
more creditably upon our bigoted no
tons Of patriotism than upon our
good sense.

a preface to a grab Of a vast amount
Of land now held in reservations. The
Indian land question is extremely i'm
portant, and the Government should
lose no time III The adoption Of meas
| arcs Hllich will insure its use for the
benefit pf our Indian population. Ne
gotiations for the abandonment Of the
reservation system would bring into
the market a surplus Of more than
100, 000,0 900 acres after the distribution
of land among all the tribes to be
held in severalty-1GO acres to each
head of an Indian family and half as
much to each other male Indian-and
the proceeds Of the sale might pro-
vide not only schools for the educa-
ton Of all Indian children, but also a
reward Of stock, seeds and tools for
each Indian who qualified himself for
the successful management Of a farm.
The nation has an opportunity for the
solution OF the Indian problem which
it cannot afford to neglect, and by
adopting the policy here outlined and
entrusting its execution to men OF
ability and integrity, the conversion
Of the sayagas into useful citizens can
be accomplished before the year 1900

UnbeIievers' Hymns.

A singular fact about hymnology is that
many excellent hymns have been written
by men who were either not religious at
all or whose claims to religion rested on
very slight foundations. Addison was
never celebrated for the depth Of his piety,
but two of the best hymns in the language
are accredited to him, 1.-The Spacious Fir
mament on High" and "When All Thy
Mercies, Oh My God" Moore was not
quite as noted for the depth of his relig
ious feelings as was Addison, but the
finest lyric of religious character to be
found in English or any other tongue,
Come Ye Disconsolate," was from his
pen, and has given more comfort to thou
sands than perhaps it ever did to its author.
The celebrated hymn, "Come, Thou Fount
of Every Blessing" was written by an
irreligious man, while Pope's "Vital Spark
of Heavenly Flame" was a translation of
a pagan poem said to have been written
by the Emperor Hadrian All these were
good, not because their authors were bad
men, but because, although bad men, they
were good poets, and, besides, had an oc-
casional flash of genuine religious devo-
ton which expressed itself in song with
pure sentiment and good taste The
whole subject of the psalmody of the
church is apparently in need of overhaul
ing. The ordinary collections contains too
many hymns, and of these too large pro
portion are not of suitable character for
use in public worship. 1t is but just to
say that those who are most interested in
the subject see this fact perhaps more
clearly than any others, and there are not
wanting indications that before many
years there will be general overhauling
OF the hymn-books and very liberal excl
sion of such hymns as no longer fall in
with the spirit of the times-St Louis
Democrat.
