cruciating, causing may pieces Of bone to come

of the doctors saidit was fever sore; others.

Lancaster, Grant County, Wisconsin, she had
been on erutches for quite number OF years,
and the cords under the knee so contracted that

days. could straighten her limb out perfectly,

ASSISTED IMMIGRANTS.

The evil Of pauper immigration is some
thing which is not entirely unfamiliar to
the Northwest. Despite the vigilance of
the government officials stationed at Castle
Garden to prevent the landing of immi-
grants without means of support, great
numbers have managed to elude their
watchfulneSs, and have succeeded by hook
or crook in reaching the West. Here they
have become in many instances charges
upon the community. In not a few cases
the governments of the countries whence
the immigrants have come have furnished
them with the means to reach this country.
They thus relieve themselves of a portion
of their surplus population and at the
same time get rid of class of people
whom the desperation of poverty has rem
dered an extremely undesirable class
of subjects. Regarding America as a
haven where all may find a refuge
they have not hesitated to
pour upon our shores the people whose
presence they regarded with suspicion akin
to alarm. This is manifestly unfair. and
the vigilance with which our government
endeavors to guard against it is therefore
highly commendable. But the repeated
compulsory return TO the countries from
which they were shipped has at last
taught one government a lesson. They
have all been given to understand
that while the United States well
comes gladly all who come over here
with brave hearts and strong hands
to build for themselves new homes in a
land of freedom are heartily welcome, but
that those who have been a burden upon
their own governments are not wanted.
Thus far Germany has been the only eoun-
try to heed the warning, not so much be-
cause of German immigrants sent back by
the United States authorities, but on ac-
count of the Poles, Russians and Bohemians
which on their involuntary return to Ham
burg and Bremen the German gov
eminent has had to take care
of. That government, therefore, has
constituted itself sort Of adjunct to the
commissioners of immigration of New
York. 1t has decreed that all persons who
intend to emigrate to America before
being permitted to pass through Ger
man territory will have to prove that they
are not paupers. For the fulfillment of
this decree special officers have been sta
toned at the various German ports. If,
now, other governments can be induced to
follow their example, the large number of
foreigners who have made their homes here
will have fewer INDECENT compatrlots to
care for in the future and last years record
of 1000 pauper immigrants returned to the
countries whence they came will be speed
lily reduced. Assisted immigrants" are
not wanted They should be more effect
ually headed off.

a NEWSPAPERS MONUMENT.


The New York World has built its mon
ument That is, the pedestal for the BAR
TuoLDI statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World is completed, and as long as it
stands it will be monument to the enter
prise of newspaper which took hold of the
matter of raising fund for the building of
the pedestal and pushed it to success, when
to all appearances it was a hopeless under
taking. The pedestal cost 500, 900,
and the sum was largely made
mp by small individual contributions
from all sections of the country.
The subscription list was started by the
World, and by its efforts alone the neces-
sary amount was raised. 1t is true that
the enterprising New York paper received
good amount OF valuable advertising by
it, but it deserved all it got. 1t would have
been an everlasting shame if, after the mag
nifieent statue had been donated to Amer
lea. the people had been too parsimonious
to furnish pedestal for it TO rest upon.
And yet that was the shameful condition it
was in when the World took hold of it and
raised the money. The city government of
New York ought TO have furnished the
pedestal, but the aldermen were too busy In
their negotiations with JACOB SHARP to pay
any attention to patriotic matters. 1t was
the enterprise of New York's great daily
that came to the rescue and saved the
American people from a deep disgrace.
Thus it is that the BARTHoLDI statue is the
Worlds monument

1t had also In view plan of advertising in
one or two Eastern trade papers. The

THE MEXICAN BAND.
Capt. Gilmore reported letter in rela-
ton to the engagement of the celebrated
Mexican band. The leader had put in an
application for leave of absence for himself
and forty-twO members, and would know
the result in ten days. The terms would
be $500 a month for the band and
travelling expenses, except food, both
ways. Capt. Gilmore reported the
probable cost of transportation at 81, 500,
and the cost here at $3.50, max
ing total of S9.75O. Mr.. Barton was in
favor of securing some other attraction, but
Mr.. Regan said he was sure the travelling
expenses would be much less than the fig
IRE given, and urged the straining of every
effort to make the first exposition a decided
success. The Mexican band, it NAV be
stated, is the official band of the Seventh
regiment of Mexican cavalry, and cali only
come here by government leave. The COM
mittee was given further time. Mr. Blethen
reported progress on the matter of bonded
warehouse, and after allowing 81 ,633. OF in
bills, the board adjourned until Monday.

mains that they have no use for the
millions of acres now possessed by them.
1t Is Just so much good grazing and farm
ing land, particularly the former, going TO
waste Especially Is this true with regard
to the Blackfeet reservation in Montana.
1t consists of 1900, 900 acres Of land in a
strip eighty 10 one hundred and twenty
miles along the northern border OF Montana.
This great tract OF land Is occupied
by about 3, 500 Blackfeet Indians. These
sarages, true 10 their nOmadlc instincts, are
more frequently OFF than on their reserva-
ton, and large part OF the time are In
British America. The extent OF land thus
useleSsiy monopolized would support a
million cattle. No finer grazing land exists
In the territory, and as the other ranges
are being rapidly taken up. il
would be occupied by catuemen
in very short time after be-
ing thrown open 10 settlement. Al
present the luxuriant grass goes to waste.
If such portion of the reservation as the
Indians can really use. say one-fourth of
it, were reserved for their use and the bal
ance thrown open, the wealth of Montana
would be materially increased and an in
creased beef supply provided, which wonld
result in lower prices for that necessary
commodity. Incidentally the trade of st.
Paul would also be benefited. Huge reser-
vations are useless. There should no longer
be delay in opening them.

FAR-FETCHED CRITICISMS

1t is little curious that Republican
newspapers should urge as an objection to
the presidents message recommending that
Federal authority be invoked in the arbitra-
lion of labor disputes, that it displays too
much of tendency to fall back upon the
HAMnLToNIAN doctrine of implied powers.
Such an objection coming from Democratic
sources might have some validity, but that
1t should come from the members
of that party which comes down in
direct line of descent from HAM
ILToN seems little far-fetched,
The message is objected to by these over
critical Republican organs, more, perhaps,
from the habit of Directing to everything
that an opposition administration does. than
trem the violence to any principle that NAV
be involved in the matter Exactly how
far the powers of the Federal government
may extend in this direction is a question
open to discussion. The president recog-
niZed the fact that there was an urgency
for relief from some direction. The dis
turbed condition of the business interests
Of the country, caused by repeated conflicts
between those who employ labor and those
who receive wages, makes it imperative
That there should be some national legisla-
ion to put an end to the existing trouble.
The principal function of government is to
secure jnstice and tranquility. Therefore
The president felt it incumbent upon him to
call the attention of congress TO the fact that
The machinery already provided was not ad-
equate to secure the accomplishment of this
purpose, Then, as he had the right to do.
he suggested to congress what he considered
the best methods to be adopted. 1t will be

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

The Republican primaries seem to have
been good deal jumbled up last night.
The indications are that a majority of the
delegates to the convention to be held to-
day will determine not to make straight
out Republican fight, but instead give an
Endorsement to Maj. NEwsoN's independ-
ent candidacy with the hope that by this
means they may attract some votes to the
aldermanic candidates. The city treasurer
ship Is not the game the Republicans are
after. They recognize the fact that the
Democratic candidate is invincible. In fact
there will be part of the convention fav-
orable to giving Mr.. REFS an Endorsement.
The Republican sympathy for independent
candidates does not extend to the aldermanic
districts, as was well illustrated in the Fifth
district, where Mr.. VAN SYKES candidacy
was entirely ignored, and in the Sixth dis
trict, where an attempt will be made to run
the Republican candidate in between the
two Democratic candidates.
