The immigration Evil

The resolution in favor of putting
a stop to immigration for time, that
met the approval of the hygienic Sec
ton of the pan-AmeriCan medical
congress, was couched in impressive
language. "In our opinion" the doc
tors say, "this action affords the only
certain means of avertinga a threatened
invasion by the cholera" If the con-
press shall be unanimous, as a section
of it has been, in support of this opin-
ION, there can be no doubt that the
opinion will be seriously regarded by
the President, especially when he Is
made aware that cholera exists IN al
least FIVE of the ports from which inl-
migrants come to this country In
several respects the question Of imml-
grafton is one of the utmost gravity
The Congress of the United states

action upon it before long

re-euforcements, and Crockett's arrival
through the Mexican lines was hailed as a
godsend. One morning during the bonn

cut their way back TO the fort, leaving eight
dead Mexicans to mark their pathway, but
