VICTIMS OF UNDERSIGNED OENsURB.

There is apt to be a feeling in Amer
lean minds of something like personal
resentment toward the immigrants who
have brought cholera to these shores.
1t is ditficult to separate the act from
the intention, and the unfortunate
strangers are looked upon with a degree
of dislike, as if they were willfully re-
spOnsible for the danger that threatens
the public. These Storage passengers
have by no means the same measure of
sympathy extended to them in their en-
forced isolation that's given to the trav-
elers who enjoyed flrst-cabin IN
dations. This feeling is not just. 1t is
true, doubtless, that some of these i'm
migrants are not desirable acquisitions
to the population under any circum-
stances, but, on the other hand.
many others are as likely to
make good Americans if given the
opportunity as any who have come be-
fore them. In either case they left their
old homes with the laudable purpose of
lettering their condition and with high

were bringing cholera germs with them.
Not all OF them are filthy, or diseased,
or degraded, except as the close contact
and poor accommodations On the crowd
ed ships may make them 80. Some, no
doubt, on every vessel are of tastes suf-
fciently refined to revolt at steerage
surroundings, and are only forced to
a k passage in that way from lack of
funds to secure first cabin luxuries.
But, to whatever class they belong. they
are innocent enough of Ill intent, and
are themselves the chief sufferers from
the conditions that make a quarantine
necessary. Wherever they are. detained
on s%hipboard or in camp. and filed with
uncertainty and dread, these unhappy
stra myers in a strange land are entitled
to mach pity and sympathy.

This shows that if any person is paying
more for tin-plate now than he did one or
two years ago, it is because he is not postAd
