Another Anarchist Raves.
An international congress- OF social
lists is now in session at Brussels. |
The President elected Tor Tuesday |
was one Saniel, originally a foreigner,
but now resident of New York. In
his opening address this migrate took
occasion to denounce in unmeasured
terms the United States of America,
the country which has afforded him
home, protection and bread. Among
other Iurid utterances was this,
''amid all this wealth, misery in
creases so fast that the land of the
free and the home OF the brave is, in
reality, hell"
The rantings of this fanatic are in
themselves of no consequence, but
the time, place aud occasion of theil
utterance serve sharply to draw the
attention of our people to q crying
evil that menaces the very life of oul
nation. The question of inrestrictud
| foreign Immigration has of late taken
stronger and stronger hold upon the
attention of the country. The dan
gerous character of u large element OF
! the population we are receiving from
Europe becomes more apparent every
day. The dark and treacherous Ma
! fla, the Anarchist riots, dynamite and
/ the dagger are serving to arouse
/ Americans 20 II sense of their danger.
This traitorous speech Of Saniel,
cheered to the echo by an Interna-
tional Congress, representing the
combined enemies of law and orderi
is but another and perhaps more em-
phatic demonstration of the peril to
which our foolish policy is subject
ing us.
No human institution is perfect;
abuses will creep into the best OF gov
ernments; misery will not be absent
from the earth until the miller imum
comes. Those who come To the Uni
ted States expecting TO be made rich,
happy and free from all the woes I"
which flesh is heir, simply by the aci
Of transition, must necessarily be dis
appointed.
But whatever may be the faults OF
this country, it passes with the say :
ing that it il the greatest, best gov
erned aud happiest that the world
has vet seen. From whatever quar-
ter he comes the Immigrant hither
finds the conditions of life more
favorable than those he left behind.
If this country does not suit him ht
had as we'll take passage for some
other planet, for he will find nothing
belt. on this globe. No srcner do
these vicious foreign Paurer5 and
itsperadOc land on our shor', how
. ever, than they begin TO curse the
land " hich has opened its friendly
portals to them, and surrounded them
with blessings to which they have
: hitherto been strangers. With nr
knowledge OF liberty coupled Will
:, law they confuund freedom will,
license and rail at the necessary anc
, wholesome restrictions for the gener-
al welfare.
If abuses exist we can right them
without such assistance. We need
no instruction from men who have
not learned the first principles Of
self government.
The howls of such wretches ar
Saniel will he treated with the con
tempt which they deserve but they
nay, perhaps, serve good purpns'
in grousing our people to SENSE %
their danger in nursing such vipers t.
their bCsoms and stimulate the pas
sage of laws which will prevent
J niscrpauts of his class from landing
d On our shores.

IRIS estimated that farm profits
viii this year be one billion dollars
more in The United States than dur
ing therecent years Of depression. In
It's annual review of the harvests, the
American Agriculturalist advances
the belief that this year, unless un-
expected influences change wholly
the current Of events, the value OF
sorn on the farm will average in De-
cember fully fifty cents bushel,
wheat 81 bushel and oats at least
forty cents bushol. This is some
what of u crusher TO the alarmist, and
rather a setback argument against
these latter day politicians who are
crying aloud to Uncle Sam, "help me
father or I starVe."

the smoke, especially to nervous people.
A cigar should be smoked slowly and
should be lighted evenly. In case one
side of the cigar should burn and leave
a ragged edge on the other side it is not
necessary to relight. A gentle blow
through the cigar toward the lighted
end will ignite the ragged side and 1t
will burn regularly. Smoking this way

but hit the ball clearly to the left field,
good for a single. Then he started for first
base, but instead of stopping there Ike kept
right on and ambled out TO right field.
The spectators and players looked on in
amazement.
Elm never out till I'm teched with the
baseball" shouted Mr.. Kelly, who by this
time was close TO the carriage gate.
The umpire looked on calmly and want
ed to know why they didn't chase him,
else he might come back and score home
run. On this the whole team started in
pursuit. After lodging about the park
awhile Kelly slipped out of the gate and
ran across the street into a saloon. By the
time the players arrived and the man with
the ball had jabbed the $4,000 beauty on
the back with it, Kelly had ordered the
drinks for the crowd.
1--WE thought you were out for running
out of base line, " said the captain of the
picked nine.
"Oh, no." replied Kelly, calmly; I'm
never out till I'm teched with the base
ball.
When the party returned and the story
was related to the umpire that functionary
turned around TO the grand stand and an
nounced seriously that Kelly was not out.

Japanese Railroads and Insurance.

The total capital invested in railways in
Japan is estimated at 42,550.00O yen. the
largest being the Nippon, Tanko and Han
kai Railway Companies, with 2S,390,oo
yen, and the Sanyo, Kyushu and Ryomo
district railways being responsible for the
remainder. Many members OF the Diet
are DESTROYS OF seeing the latter lines pur-
chased by the government.
In Japan there are in existence no less
than seven native insurance companies,
four for the insurance Of lives. two for ire
and one for sea risks. The Oldest of these
companies has not been more than eleven
years in existence. In regard 10 insurance
against fire, the rate charged for buildings
Is calculated on basis of , per cent. per
annum. which may hereafter be lowered, as
the substantial character of buildings be-
comes increased by the use OF brick IN
lieu OF wood. As respects life insurance,
an annual rate of mortality OF less than
per mile of the population Is taken,
which is lower than that OF Nor~ay-the
lowest quoted rate in the vital statistics OF
Europe, whilst the death rate OF Austria
reaches something like 81 per mile
yearly

The announcement comes from England
that the Marquis of Exeter is no longer
able to maintain his great family mansion
of Burghley House and that the estate will
be sold. This is the breaking up of one OF
the most renowned families of Europe.
The Marquis of Exeter is the decendent OF
the elder Cecil, the prime minister OF
Queen Elizabeth, and Burghley House,
wsth its noble park and wide domain. has
been in the possession of the family ever
since the year 1900. The decline in the
wealth of the family is said 20 be due to
free trade, which, by admitting American
grain to the British markets, has rendered
farming so improbable in that country
that the estate no longer yields a revenue
sufficient TO maintain the grandeur of the
great house.
