Tho Incursion Of Pauper Europe.

philadelphia Record.
The noticeable deterioration In
quality Of the recent immigration
into this country has already been
the subject of comment in these
columns. Uplto within compara-
lively recent years the incoming
stream has beep of such nature
as to render it source Of congrat--
,ulation. England, Scotland, Ire
land, Germany, from whence came
the greater proportion of the hither
moving tide, gave us an easily as
simulated class of population, which
formed a welcome addition to our
national resources in brain as we'll
as Drawn.
It would be mischievons enough
if we had only to deplore a large
accession of refractory material
from the slums of Eastern and
Southern Europe. 1t would be suf-
ficient ground for an exhibition of
restiveness upon our part that we
should be favored with unwelcome
shiploads of the assisted victims of
Russian persecution, whom socie-
ties of European philanthropists
are expediting to our shores. But
considerable addition which is en-
tailed thereby to our chronic pau
pers is subject for serious thought
and alarm.
The disclosures of the last GEN.
sus in this respect alone should
give impetus to the movement
against indiscriminate and unlim-
tied immigration. The increase in
the percentage among the inmates
of our almshouses who are of for
eign birth is particularly notewor-
thy, and in this regard the figures
given by Henry Cabot Lodge IN an
article in the September "C "Century''
are of portentous import. Thus, in
1880 our foreign-born white popu-
lation was a little over fifteen per
cent. of the whole, while the for.
eign-born paupers. furnished thirty
per cent. of the inmates of our
almshouses. In 1890, when the
foreign-born whites formed seven.
teen per cent. of our total popula.
ton, the objects of public charity
from the same class had increased
to fifty-one per cent. Of the whole
In other words, while the total for
eign born population had increased
but little oyer II per cent, the for
eignsborn padpers showed the ex'
traordinary increase OF thirteen
per cent.
Upon such figures as these com
ment would be superauous. The
undesirable proportion Of helpless
people thus disclosed is too dan
gerously large to be contemplated
with equanimity. 1t has been the
policy of the Government, and II
should continue to be its policr, tt
welcome all those who are self-sup
porting and contain. In themselves
the promise Of becoming usefu
wealth producers and citizens. The
complete figures of the census show
that even our present inadequate
immigration laws have checked
the material increase in the pro
portion OF the distinctiveiy Grim
inal classes. But the situation
calls for an improvement in the
laws which shall prevent the In
cursion into our national domain
of pauper Europe. Many other re-
forms In the law are desirable; but
the need of an, effective barrier
against this incursion is immedi'
