appalling" When the English acquired
Canada, they estimated the French there
at less than $4,000. There and in the
United States they now number about
100000. No other race in modern
times has been SO prolific.
1t is not, however, the increase but the
character of the immigration which has
excited the labor leaders and alarmed
the health authorities. England, Ireland
and Germany seemed for time to have
gotten rid of their surplus population
and ceased to send us any, and just at
this time Italy, Hungary and Russia be-
gan to pour forth their swarms. In 1870
there were in this country but 4, 644 per-
sons of Russian birth; in 1890 there were
1872, ga. In the same time Hungar1ans
increased from 3,737 to 62, 435, Poles from
IA, 1856 to 147 ,440, Italians from II. 157 to
1872, $50 and Canadians Chiefly FRENCH
from 493, 464 to 9S0,938. On the other
hand, the Irish scarcely increased at all,
and the Welsh and English increased
comparatively little. From 1870 to 1880
there was an actual decrease of Irish,
and from 1880 to 1890 their increase was
but 1898, or less than l per cent. In
fact, the vastly improved conditions of
life in Ireland have reduced emigration
to minimum.
Of all the recent immigrants the Poles
seem the least amenable to sanitary dis
cipline or indeed to regulations of any
kind. Reared under despotism, the
Polish laborer habitually looks upon gov
eminent as the natural enemy of the
poor man, and his whole life has been a
bng schooling in evasion and various
articles to beat the officials. Even the
census enumerators had to have police
protection in some quarters of New York
city, for when one entered and began to
ask for names, etc., the Pole, sometimes
the man of other race, at once concluded
it was for draft OF tax From san
itary standpoint the greatest improve
ment has been among the Irish. Forty
gears ago, it is said, every third Irish
man landing at New York vas pock-
marked. Now q pitted face is rare
among them. Sullivan, In his '.JNew Ire
land says that, of the great emigration

among laboring foreigners. And these
three questions are connected in most
intimate manner just now, for immigra-
tion has already set in heavily for 1898,
the cholera is, certainly reviving in east
ern Europe, and if it gets here it will, as
Sam Wilkinson said of the Beecher scam
dial and certain religious book, ''knock
the Worlds fair higher than Gilderoy's
kite"
There is touch of the comical in the
way public opinion suddenly shifted on
this question. Since 1874 the immigrants
have never been less than 10o, 900 a year,
and only in the sshard times of 1868
did they fall below 200, 900 year Then
the number suddenly went up beyond
precedent since Israel left Egypt, reach
ing 788, 1893 in 1882. The labor organiza-
lions cried aloud and were laughed at.
In the decade of $4,000 the newcomers
were far more than twice as many as in
any previous decade and almost doubled
the number of foreign born in the coun-
try. Cheap laborers" by the hundred
thousand came from Italy, Russia, Po-
land and elsewhere. Still the labor organ
izations were scarcely listened to. All
at once the cholera threatened. An ele-
CANT steamer loaded with the elite of the
F.Four Hundred" had to suffer miser-
able quarantine, and, 10, as Samuel Com
pers said, "a shrek from swelldom to
shut out every demd immigrant, don't
yer known
The net result has been a law which
on its face is ironclad, trick proof and
perjury tight. Previous laws secured
by the labor organizations were rather
stringent, but this one, which went into
effect at the close Of the last congress, is
simply "corker." By it the intruding
immigrant must under oath tell all about
his race, name, age, sex and condition;
where he came from, whittier he is going
and what he is going to do when he gets
there; whether he has money, and, if so,
how much; whether he has ever been in
prison. hospital or quarantine; whether
he is a polygamistor thinks Of becoming
one; whether he is vaccinated or pock-
marked, skilled or unskilled or under
contract; whether he is a thief, a pauper,
fugitive, a cripple, an idiot OF habit
ual drunkard or is conscious Of inclina-
tons to become either of such.
| Of course this is only summary, but
it is really no exaggeration. In addition
to all this, nine experienced surgeons of
the marine hospital service, appointed by
the president, have gone to the principal
foreign ports with almost despotic pow
ers of inspection of immigrant vessels.
These are: Surgeon George Purviance Of
Philadelphia, assigned to Liverpool;
Passed Assistant Surgeon WI. Pettis of
Buffalo to Southampton: Assistant Sur
geon M. j. Rosenan to Antwerp; Passed
Assistant Surgeon J. H. White of Savan-

Where the President Will 1.-Two During the
Hot Summer Days.
President Cleveland is going to follow
the precedent he set during his previous
term and have summer residence in the
suburbs of Washington. Eight years
ago, it will be remembered, he purchased
Red Top, or Oak View, as it was re-
christened, for his summer house and is
said to have made d snug profit on his
investment when he sold the property at
the end of his term of Office. This time,
instead Of purchasing, he has leased a
fine property on the Woodley lane road
known to Washingtonians as the Middle
ton house. 1t is nearer the city than Red
Top, and from the windows there are
charming views of the town and the
country to the north, the most pictur-
esque section Of the Rock creek region.

KEELEY's CONVENTION.
The Proposition to Hold One in This
City Is Revived.
The Idea Is to Hold a Two Days Session
of All the Graduates-Dr.
Groyes's Plan.

Mention was made by THE HERALD
several weeks ago, of a movement among
the Kelley graduates in Utah to hold a
territorial convention in this city. Dr..
Arthur l.. Groves, who. by the retirement
OF Mr.. Morris, has become manager of
the institute, has taken the matter up in
earnest and is sending out circular letters
TO the graduates, for the purpose of first
stirring up interest in the project. The
idea is to hold a two days convention in
the Salt Lake theatre sometime IN May.
The following extracts from DR.. Groves S
circular indicate the character of the
proposed convention
desire to bring to your notice mat
ter which has been suggested to me by
several OF the graduates of the Institute,
and to obtain from you an expression OF
opinion regarding it. A number have
advanced the thought that it would be a
good thing to have held, here in Salt
Lake city, convention of all the gradu-
ates OF this Institute, and have suggested
that some time in the latter part OF May,
or earlier, would be fitting time. The
plan as mentioned is as follows:
That the Salt Lake theater be chosen as
the place OF meeting, and that two days
be devoted to the convention, or congress.
That the meeting be called to order at 2
G, clock on the first day and that an even
ing session be held. The afternoon of the
next day would also be devoted to the
business of the convention, and in the
evening banquet at one of the leading
hotels would close the affair most fittingly.
An excellent programme will be arranged
and the session will be one, not only OF
interest to us all, but to the general
public.
The promoters of the enterprise, realiz-
ing that expenses will have to be cut as
low as possible, have pledged themselves
to securing a rate of one fare for the
round trip on all lines of railroad, and
that the hotels will make rates to all is
already conceded.
