From the Globe, Demacr7t)
 There Is DO line of statistical figures more amazing, and yet unqucstiona- ble in their bearing, than those which give us the immigration of foreigners into our States. In 1920 there were little over &000. In 1895 a little more than 10000 In 1880, 23000. and in 1885, 45.000; 1840 does not quite reach 100000, but 1S45 goes over that figure up to ll4,00Q From that date the tide has risen higher, with only occasional ebbing, In 1885 there were over 100000. In 1870 over 300,- GOO. In 1872 over 100000. In 1882, 78S.962. This was the maximum fip. ure touched, The total immigration during these years, from 1920 to 1887. amounts to l3,632,771. The effect of pouring such vast bulk of foreign people, with foreign ideas, into our land, has been nearly as great on our. selves as on them. Our institutions have been largely modified, and are in dangr of still greater notifications. There has been of late a growing de- termir ation on the part of some elasse: of immigrants to import for eign languages and foreign institu- tions,

Does Mining Payg

Ths Butte (Mont) Mining Journal says that the mines of Montana have paid out ln dividends since the 1st of January last, s!,ii5I 900, and during the same period of time the dividend paying mines of Colorado have paid $262 GOO, those of California S309,312, Utah $460,000, and that the Montana mines lead the combined figures of Colorado, California and Utah, S89, 9,6SS. The above does not include Nevada, which has paid out in dividends to the amount of S708, APO, since January 1st, besides what has been paid by Mt Diablo and other mines in tho State, which would probably make an addl- ton of $50,000, making the total of dividends disbursed by Nevada mines, $758,42o.

.r Mi,Is Admits That We are Four Times

In his speech advocating the bill be introduced, Mir Mills, of Texas, said :: we produce and exchange among ourselves, and consume in the satis- faction of our wants, more of the pro- ducts of our own labor than the 200,- 100000 on the continent of Europe. We have invented and have now in successful operation more labor-sav- ing machinery than all other people. We are turning out over six billions worth of products of manufactures every year, and producing them at lower cost of production and, at the same time, paying higher wages to our workmen than any other people, This being the case, why not let well
 enough alono? Does he want to les sen our products--to undo all that the inventive genius of the American peo- pie has accomplished? Does he want us to adopt policy that will render the United States secondary to the nations of the old world? Does he prefer policy tbat wili prevent us from paying higher wages to our workmen ?-Natlonal Labor Tribune

s;ialng.

From the address of II. w. Com. stock to members of the Kansas City Mining Exchange: One of your prom inent citizens sad 10 me the her day, 'tlt is evident that you are not one of those who believe tbat more money has been put ID mines than has been taken out" He was right. No more fallacious theory than that 10 which hs referred has ever found lodgment in the minds Of intelligent men. It is true that in certain mining districts more money has bean expended than has been taken therefrom up to the present time. It Is equally true that more money has been used in build ing up these palatial structures that you have about you here than they have yet earned for their owners, but if they do not burn or blow down they will return their cost with interest to somebody sometime. The mines will not bnrn, nor will they blow away, and the outlay of ineney and of labor on ore veins that arc now unproduc- tive will produce valuable results some time. h either case those who plant the seed may gather the harvest, hut how many of us will reap the fields we are planting? How many of those who contributed the three thousand million dollars that was used m con- structing the. 10000 miles of railroad built in tho United States Tn the last twenty years wlll ever see 50 per cent of that sum; how many of those there are, "more's the pity" who will never see one per cent of the sum they have contributed. Unwlse investments in mining, as in all other enterprises have been, and will continue to be, made until the judgment of all men snail become lnialllble.
 Wise investments in inning, as in all other enterprises, have been de- stroyed by incompetent management, and that will continue to be the case until special training is recognized as a prerequisite for special seryice. Possibly the idlocy and disastrous re- suit of bad management in mining has been so marked as 10 be phenomenal, but it is to be scarcely wondered at, for oftentimes the same rule governs in selecting a mining superintendent that moved the farmer to recommend his dog for coon hunting. He knew the dog was not good for anything else and he thought he must be good for eoons. Starlding by the work of some of the mea selected in accordance with that rule, one can scarcely fail to be oppressed by feeling of awe at the colossal proportions of their stupidity.

WeighI Of silver Coin.

$. E. Snead, Chief Clerk and Teller of tue SubTreasury, at St. Louis says in the Globe-Democrat: Silver money piled up in heaps, like eordwood or lumber, is very dangerous, as it is very likely to toppIe over and crush the clerks 1 know 1t sounds like a fable to fellows whose suspenders have never been sagged by more than a fstlul ot quarter dollars 10 talk of the risk one runs in 8 place like this of getting crushed to death under an avalanche of good and lawful coined money, but the danger Is great, never. theloss. Last Saturday we noticed that our high wall of bags of silver dollars $500 in each bag-was bag ging out ia the middle 10 fall. The old clerks all ran to let it come, but the colored man, ignorant of the tre. mendous weight of thc silver ran up to the caying pile and pushed with his hands, thinking he could brace it up. As well try to hold up SO much falling stone. Down it came with a crash, ard tee colored man had narrow es- cape, getting of with a few bruises and scratches. Six years ago, at our old office at Sixth and Lscpsi streets, a pile of bags of silver, Sl000 in a bag, fell upon nae and bore me 10 the floor My head had 8 narrow escape from getting crushed in like an egg shell, and l was buried from the feet to the breast The freshman, who was our watchman then, sprang to my assist anes and clawed the bags right and left of me. When l caught my breath again 1 was thankful for my escape from being crushed to pulp. There are people who would like to take their chances of getting buried under heap of money. just for the sake of beng where there IS plenty ot it, but none so foolish are to be found among the Uncle Sam hireiings whose daily toll consists m shoveling the big sur plus about The teller's assistants in the United States Treasury come to regard the silver dollars as so many metal disks to be handled and the pa per money merely as collection of notes to be kept track of. Money is not different from metal and paper until dollar has been stolen or is missing in tbe accounts of the books When tue cash and cash.hook tell the same story, and the safe is burglar proof, the Sub.Treasurer and his as sistant can sleep as free from care and responsibility as any other man m S..

Tearing the strips of canvas bearing party campaign mottoes from the cars carrying the California Republican delegates to the Chicago Convention,
 was a piece of useless and despicable vandalism. No respectable Democrat can have any other feeling than that of unqualified condemnation of the perpetrators of the outrage. Such acts are not only gross violations Of personal rights, but offend all ideas of fairness and decency The issues be- fore the country must be settled by sober, intelligent, patriotic thought Personal abuse and acts of violence settle nothing, but, on the contrary, ln1ame the baser passions and engen. der feeling of bitterness winch often mars the beauty of our political sys- tenn. Because men differ as to the course this great country should pur sue IS no reason why they should quarrel, impeach each others morals and patriotism, and fill the air with bludgeons and billingsgats. The great mass of American citizens are patriot lc to the hearts core and desirous of advancing the power and glory and happiness of this great Republic of ours; bat they cannot agree among themselves as to tue methods which will best subserye their common wishes.
 Popular government IS an everlast- ing dispute between the advocates of
 diveFIng views, and the opposition is quite as sefYesaGle in administering the Government aS'he dominant par ty. The "outs" points out to the or
 TOTS, mistakes and shortcomings of the ''ias, and dc general police duty as special guardians Of the public purse and welfare. When all is sad and done We remnn good Americans, and the Government goes on as usual. + we make 8 mistake, the ballot box in time eorrects it. Fools and traitors are not nominated for the Presidency, and the moral sense cf ths pubic goes through a debasing experience when policies of pith and moment are de- bRted with the slime and fifth of per sonal detracuon The Alta sincerely trusts that the Sacramento incident will be the last piece of partisan ruf- fianism that can be laid at the door of Democrats. We confidently hope robust sense of manly lecency in the Republican party will frown down all such filthy calumnies as those which superseryiceable party press has lately put in circulation regarding the Presidents domestic life. Let us de- bate questions of political economy with dignity aud candor. and address our arguments to the patriotism and understanding of the country, and not degrade eur politics wlth kitchen gos- sip, the tales of Irresponsible black guards and the small beer of the rum shop. In short, let us, like sober, in- telligent citizens, throw away the shillelah and the slush bucket. talk sense and dseency, and vote honestly as our conscience and convictions die. tate.

This is worse than murder This is
preparing pupils to enter an insane
asylum 1t IS fact that not one girl
out of twenty can stand this sort Of
thing and then enter upon successful
career as a teacher without becomin g
a physical and mental wreck. This is
the worst form of inhuman treatment
that can be devised. No brain can
ever attain its best possibilities with
eleven hours day of actual applica-
tion. The pedagogues who demand
moro Of a pupil than the pupil can
gain in eight hours, or rather six
hours, OF application. are destroying
the brain power Of their pupils.
Whether this 5 limited to pupils who
are preparing to become teachers we
do not know. Probably not. But
parents should consider this fact, that
the child who spends six hours a day
in the school-room should not be al
lowed to study after school hours.
Teachers are not there merely to heal.

it is the presumption that every pupil

But the point to which attention is

where they are fitting themselves for
the work of teaching. We give here
the hours of work in school, the hours
