Of Europe which Is pouring into the
United States, the Boston I6ntetissr says
The recent announcement that during the
first >iN months of The current wear 40
600 wrrtched Italian immigrants alone, to
say nothing OF The thousands of other
natonaities, have been landed at New
York is startling, and the supplementary
announcement That thousands of these
miserable people are now wandering
about that city ia enforced idlcness and
in d condition bordering on starvation is
not at all surprising. If the increase Of
ignorant and psuper immigration con-
tinues in the future rs it has during the
past few years, New York viii not he the
only city that will be thronged and
burdened and menaced by this invasion
of the human scum of Europe, the entire
country will be numbered by 1t as by a
devouring, life.sucking pestilence. The
