A WRITER in the Andover Reuieio
calls attention to the fact that there is
a marked deterioration in the class OF
immigrants from Europe to this coun-
try. Once VIC got the best-educated
men, skilled laborers, with sufficient
money to start life with. Now we get
the lame, the halt, the blind, the
decrepit, and imbecile in a proportion
larger than ever before. This writer
says that ~of the $4,000 persons in
American insane asylums in 1880 there
was one in &C., of the native-born pop
ulation of the country and one in 254
of the foreign. OF the 1907 paupers
in our poor-houses there was one in
$50 of the native-born and one in 29l
of the foreign. OF the 59,255 crimi-
nails in our prisons, jails, and work
houses there was one in 9S3 of the ma
tive-born and one in 51S of the foreign.
OF the s9,6Ol persons convicted Of
crime in New York State in 1856 those
of foreign birth were proport.o. %. u
to their number in the State three times
as many as those of native birth"

AWAY off in the wild region of the
northeastern part of Kentucky, where
the natives still wear 'coonskin caps
in midsummer, is a county named
Rowan. 1t has long been notorious
for its lawlessness and its bloody ieuds.
Its voting population has never ex-
ceeded LOO, and yet, between Au-
gust, 1854, when a partisan feud be-
gan with the shooting of one Solomon
Bradley, and June, 1887, when there
was general massacre of the leaders
of one of the factions, there were twen-
ty murders and assassinations in Row
an County, and sixteen wounded who
did not die, and not q single convie-
ton for murder, manslaughter, or
wounding, except for the killing of one
man who was not identified with either
faction. These facts are in evidence
before a committee of the Legisla ture
appointed to investigate the subject.
1t found that the county was irredeem-
able; that the officials, except a very ,
few, were not only inefficient but to- (
tally deprayed and corrupt; that there 4
was no healthy moral public sentiment;
that the remnant of sober, decent citi- 4
zens was domineered over by the Grim
inal element and corrupt officials, and l
that whisky was sold with and without 1
license in almost every part of the /
county. Even the County Judge was
found Indifferent to the improperly of I
maintaining cordial social relations
with persons of highly criminal char
acter. Being unable to recommend
any plan for the redemption of the
county, which was declared disgrace
to the commonwealth, the committee
advises that it be abolished, and its
territory remanded back to the coun-
ties from which it was formed. These
counties protest. One of them says
that it will refuse to take back any of
the contaminated territory. Evident
ly Rowan Coun ty is one of those COM
which would stand in jeop-
ardy of Judgment like unto that
which befell Sodom and Gomorrah, if
the days of wrathful miracles had not
passed away.
