IMMIGRATION.

The testimony taken by the Joint
Congressional Committee on ImmigTa-
ton contains a great deal of exceedingly
interesting matter, and. as was expected
many and divers opinions about the evils
Of unrestricted immigration and how
they may best be abated. 1t is interest
ing to note that of the many witnesses
who showed very decided interest IN
the work of the committee, and who
rendered it real service, were foreigners,
or American citizens of foreign BIRTH
One of those whose testimony is pre-
sented at length and who suggested an
educational qualification as remedy
against undesirable immigration, was
Mr.. Paul Wolf, the Washington CORE
spondcnt of the New York Stddts-Zeit-
ing, who is of German birth, though a
naturalized and loyal American. Both
in Germany and in the country of his
adoption Mr. Wolf enjoys high reDuta-
ton as a scholor and publicist, who has
devoted much attention to the subject
which the committee was appointed to

more than one-half of the Hungarians,
because we only get the lowest class OF

about Russia include Poland, where we
get good many immigrants from. In

AsorgrR ALLIANCE STORY.

NJ. NJ. Estee, the defeated senatorial
candidate of California, is a famous story
teller, He was in New York just before
his legislative canvass, and was discus
sing the farmers alliance movement, the
appearance of which in his state seemed
to worry him, says the Recorder. OF
course it remined him of a story, which
he affirmed was a true one, regarding
George r. Peck. general counsel of the
Atchison system. Mr.. Peck lives in
Topeka, Kan, and was urged as a SEN
torial candidate against Ingalls,. until
the alliance swept all other hopes but
their own away at the election.
"Peck was out in our county while
ago." said Mr.. Estee, land stopped a
day with an old uncle, who is farmers
alliance man.

said Mr.. Peck to his relative. Pm a
farmer and think it would be good
thing for me-
"'No use talking, George returned
the uncle, you can't do it,no ways; why,
you're just one of them fancy farmers
You're a lawyer
"'But I'm in debt, persisted Mr.
Peck.
"'TOu don't tell-well, OF course tha
dom make you so much of stranger t.
us, but then, I'm afraid you amt farmer
enough
"'Theres mortgage on my farm
too said Mr.. Peck, with increasing
interest.
"Now that does make heap of diff

thing. / don't know but you might
make pretty good member.
"'And what's more, | don't mean t,
pay it, shouted Mr.. Peck in triumph.
"'You'll do, George, cried the agricul
tural enthusiast. Let me propose you

soMrrRu1rs orrnE MCKINLEY mn

One of the most important evidences
of the stimulus TO our manufacturing in
dustries which has been impaired by the
Mckinley bill is TO be found, as the New
York Press suggests, in the records of
the importation of machinery for the cs-
adjustment of new manufactures. The
most remarkable instance, in some re-
spects, is the case of the BOthney Wooden
Mills at PaSSaic, n. j. Not brick had
been laid there when the Mckinley bill
was passed. Now there are twenty acres
of buildings which resOund to the hum
of looms and spindles. Over So
900, 600 have been invested in the plant,
and the number of persons employed is
already 1900. This, however, is only a
beginning of what is contemplated. 1t
| is the intention of the proprietors to
mike this the largest plant of the kind
in the world Within five years they
hope to have more than 10000 spindles
in operation and to employ 5000 persons.
They have imported over S5O0,00O worth
of machinery since the Mckinley law
went into effect, and property in the vi
cinity of the mills has quadrupled in
value. The mills manufacture fine Hen
rietta cloth and fancy cloth for dress
goods. Another industry which owes it;
origin to the Mckinley law is the cottor
lace curtain mandatory of Anderson
Churchill q Co., at Patchoguo. This
firm has imported more than S40,00I
woI tn of machinery for the manufactur,
of Nottingham lace curtains, and it il
now employing from $50 to 200 persons
In Utica the Globe Wooden Mills hav,
been brought into existence for the man
ufactme of wooden and worsted yarn
Four or five miles out of Utica, the
Clark mills for the manufacture of sill
plush attest the efficacy of the new law
Large quantities of machinery to pu
these mills in operation have been i'm
ported during the last few months. A
