nANGERous IMM1GRArIoN.

The great danger to the United
States from the present large for
eign immigration lies in the fact
that the mass of the immigration
come from the most ignorant and
superstitious elements OF other
lands. The Italian nation, Tor in
stance, is noted in its better element
for refined culture and respect fol
the ties that hold together society.
Among the Polish Jews there are
doubtless worthy people. But the
trouble is that the immigration to
the United States includes a very
large proportion of the worst ele-
ments of these and other races-ele.
ments that European countries are
very glad to get rid of-and that
the kings, who abhor our institu-
tions, take a sinister pleasure in see
ing dumped on our shores.
Self protection, the first instict in
individuals and nations, dictates
that something must be done to re-
strict the admission to this republic
of elements not only undesirable,
but dangerous, and Of no apprecia-
bic value in adding to the material
or intellectual wealth or military
strength of the United States.

A TRAVELLING BANK.

We have cathedral cars" in this
country and there are churches on
wheels in Russia. In New Zealand
they have started travelling bank,
or rather banking facility. 1t may
be described says the Northwestern
Railroader, as a kind of portable
teller's office. On certain days of
the week a clerk from one of the
Palmerston banks travels up and
down the railway line from Palmer
sion to Otahi, transacting the ordin-
airy business of the bank en- route.
Laden with a satchel containing his
supply of cash and provided with
teller's usual precautions against
danger Of robbery, he makes the
carriage his headquarters, and there
receives visits from customers at the
way stations, changing checks or
taking deposits, as occasion may re-
quire This plan is said to bring a
good share of grist to the banks
mill and proves a great convenience
to settlers who are saved all the
trouble of journeying to town to re-
lieve themselves of surplus money
or to procure change; but evidently
the New .Zealanders are not proper
ly educated up to the point of train
robbery.

SENATOR EDMUNDs says there is no
danger to the democratic party in
the appearance of the farmer poll
tics, for if the farmers party should
carry two or three states at the cleo

sentatives would name the president,
and the democrats not only have a
majority of members, but majority
of states also. 1t would doubtless
be sufficient for the democrats to sit
quietly by and permit the prize to
fall into their hands. The more
formidable the third party move
ment the greater the likelihood that
the next president will be a demo
