THERE Is some consolation for most all
evils. That for the labor troubles is the de-
crease they have caused in the number OF
foreign immigrants. The decrease during
the latter part of the year ending the first of
this month was over twenty thousand
compared with the immigration of the
same period of the preceding year.
That was we'll; but 1t would have been
better il the decrease had been larger. A
country with fifty million inhabitants has
about as much as it can we'll do to provide
q living for the natural increase of it's own
population, without being compelled to take
care of the people of other countries also.
The proper way to protect the labor OF this
country Ia to impose duty on imported
labor, rather than one upon the material
used by American labor.

reached this city that John Pierson, a
wealthy Swedish farmer, living about ten

wife and then himself. The couple had

homestead and had conference with the
husband and father at which it was agreed
that they should come yesterday and re.
ceive portions of the household furniture
and farm conveyances. While the son and
hired helrmate were carrying bureau
out Of the house, with the mother following
closely behind with looking glass, the
father, about ten feet in the rear, with a
revolver, fired at her, the ball striking just
back CT the ear and following the Uranium
under the skin to just over the temple,
where it lodged. The son turning, caught
her before she fell. The helpmatc rushed
into the house just as the husband, bracing
himself against the wall in the corner, open
ell his mouth and placing the muzzle of the
smoking revolver therein pulled the trigger.
The ball passed upward through the brain
and he died without a groan. The mother
was unconscious for several hours but will
be all right in few days. Papers in the
Swedish language were found in his pockets
making known his wish as to the disposal
of his property, leaving it for the greater
part to his son. As to the cause for the &C.
ton he said 1.-THE bad temper of my wife
makes living together impossible and has
driven me crazy" This was the only re-
ference a. to the cause of the shooting
