Restricting Immigration.

There was time when we desired a

Immigrants are desirable now, but we

tion better class of immigrants. By
degrees they have grown worse. The
authorities of the countries of the old
world have discovered that it is good
policy to dump their paupers and petty
criminals into this country. This prac-
tice is increasing our burdens and in
iuring the peace and prosperity of So
ciety. In 1880 we had very few pau
pers. Since that period they have not
only increased rapidly, but that class

Ignatius DoHnelly, the new western
statesman, and by the way we would
say that we cannot learn that he was
born in Vermont. is the most recent
candidate for president. He may be
able to prove that Shakespeare did not
write Shakespeare, but in five years
from now it viii not be easy to deter
mine which is the greater myth, Dom
ely himself or the party whose natal
morn he hailed with such flourish.
The American people have too much
sober sense to wind up the majestic
drama of this republic with any such
ridiculous farce as this new party pro-
poses to introduce.

 Mexico City will soon have one of the biggest pork packing establishments in the world It will be built with Mexican cap ital and engineered by Americans. It promises to control the meat market of Mexico City. The Mexican Packing com pany will control it.

The American end of this establishment is the finn of Morris & Butte, bright young fellows who own 8 packing house at Kan sss City, and who are managing his big es- tablishment here. They have constructed vast house on the American plan, with machinery of the latest kind, and they propose to make soap and ice and 6 half dozen other articles in addition to supply ing the capital with all kinds of meat. Their building consists of An old church containing a vast area, and they have add ed to this and remodeled until they have a wonderful establishment They have their own cars for the shipping of the pigs from the United States to Mexico, and they will probably make fortunes for themselves and for the Mexicans who are connected with them.

AN IMPORTANT THEORY.

About twenty per cent. of all the deaths in New England are caused by consumption, and anything concerning in this part of the world. Especially i'm portant is any information concerning the manner in which the disease is or may be transmitted. It has long been realized that it is transmissible, but there has been much dispute over the manner of transmission. Dr. Cornet, German in vestigator, has something to say concern ing the matter. He believes that it is now fully established that under no cir cumstances can the bacteria strewn upon wet surface or contained in liquid es- cape by evaporation or by the breath and be carried away by currents of air. This is shown from the fact that infected breath has been forced through water, which would certainly intercept any bacilli present, but none has ever been found. Patients have breathed against glass coated with glycerine which would undoubtedly hold bacilli fast if they were present. Aqueous vapor exhausted by consumptive lungs has been condensed by ice. But in no case have bacilli been discovered. Air driven through sputum rich in bacilli has been found free from the organism.
 But, on the other hand, Dr. Cornet, after investigations of remarkable extent and labor, finds bacilli in the air of rooms where patients have baen confned-or, rather, he finds bacilli in the dust precipi- tations of such air. He holds that the presence there of the disease germs, which | can be inhaled only at the risk of almost | certain death, is due to gross carelessness 1 arising from ignorance of the nature of the disease and it's propagation. The patients have been allowed to spit on the floor ol in pocket handkerchiefs, or in spittooni where the matter is allowed to dry and be turned into dust which, mingles in the air
 It is through the sputum alone that ths
 bacilli or disease germs find their way
 from the infected lungs to the outer air
 and it is alone by suffering this sputum tt
 become dry and pulverized into dust tha
 the bacili can be conveyed to currents O
 air and carried about to strike down hin
 who chances to breath such air.
 This is both interesting and reasonable
 It certainly can do no harm to take tn
 precaution suggested by this theory.

THE DESERTED FARMS.

HI K DHSEhTED FA IkNISs
 There are many deserted farms in New England, so many that during the last two or three years special efforts have been made in New Hampshire and Vermont to get them repopulated. These efforts have been more successful than might have been expected. For instance, Mr. Spear of the Vermont State board of agriculture states that up to date he has received one hun dred and twenty-nine applications for Yer mont farms, and this does not include all that have been received by members of the board. It is a singular fact that the most applications from any one State have come from Massachusetts, and number thirty two, while twenty-one New Workers have applied, and the rest are divided among over twenty states, including those of the South and West and the Pacific coast. Most of the applications are for cheap homes or summer residences and many of the applicants state that they wish to live in Vermont.
 This shows what can be done, and fur nishes hint for Connecticut. Probably there are not as many deserted farms in Connecticut as in any other New England State except Rhode Island, but there ara enough. Their attractions should be made known. The example of Vermont and New Hampshire in this respect is good one to initiate. People can still get good living on Connecticut farms, and there are doubtless many emigrants from them who would be glad to get back if they could.
