Gratis were willing to embark and after
lingering a short time it was driven
off without any passengers.

There is very decided opposition
among the people generally to the al
legged boxing matches which have been
so frequent of late. The grand jury
will be called upon to investigate the
matter and if the law is not sufficient
ly stringent to check it, the I.egisla-
ture will be applied to. There is
nothing more debasing or demoraliz-
ing than such brutal encounters
The Boys of the community need every
possible safeguard and should be pro-
tected. We are surprised that any of
the newspapers should encourage such
doings by publishing announcements
of them.

DEATH OF MAJoR sRaIT

The sudden death of Maj. Ii. B. Strait
at El Paso, Tex. yesterday makes one
more break in the ranks of the early
settlers of Minnesota, as we'll as re-
moves one of our former public men.
While Maj. Strait was not great
as an orator, he had a very practical
business ability, which made him the
most popular member of congress Min-
hesota ever had. In saying this we
speak advisedly. No request from a
constituent when he was in Washington
was too trivial to secure his attention,
and with his correspondence and labors
in the departments at Washington, he
literally wore himself out, and pays the
penalty of fidelity to his constituency
by a shortened life.
His personal popularity was well
Illustrated by his repeated elections 10
congress. When he was first elected he
represented the Second district, there
being but three in the state As the
population of the state increased it be-
came necessary TO make five districts,
and the Republicans having control of
the matter deliberately grouped as many
Democratic counties i'll the Third district
as possible, preferring togise the DEM
Ocrats one congressman and make all
the other districts sOlidly Republican.
Scott county, Maj. Straits home, is one
of the banner democratic counties in
the state, and it was, of course, given
to the new Third district. No one con-
sidered that there was any chance for 4
Republican to be elected in that district,
and with the prestige OF this. fore
ordained defeat, Maj. Strait lost the
election the first campaign after re-
apportionment. He then recovered and
and was three times in succession
elected and the Republicans began to
look on the district as part of their po-
lItical possessions. When Maj. Strait de-
clined to longer serve in congress, the
district resumed its normal Democratic
condition and has had but one Republi-
can representative since.
Maj. Straits success was the fruit of
his laborS in Washington in behalf Of
his constituents, regardless of their poll
tics. as well as his personal popularity
at home.
A thoroughly honest and upright
man, an aggressive, but not an offensive
partisan, man always ready to per-
form good or kind act. it is no wonder
that ne secured and retained friends.
He attached to himself friends by prov
ing himself friendly, and his sudden,
though not wholly unexpected, death
will be deeply mourned throughout the
state

OUR IMMIGRANTS.

Mr. Ford, statistician of the treasury
department, whose excellent work we
have had frequent occasion 10 note, gives
the country, in his annual report of immi-
grafton, an analysis showing ages, sex,
occupations. as we'll AS the nationalities,
which join to make the stream of hu-
manity which continues to pour, with
only slightly checked volume, upen
our shores, adding nearly half million
souls annually to our population.
1t is always a matter of interest to
those who take thought of the future of
the country to know whence come these
additions TO our numbers, for each of
these foreign nations has it's distinct
characteristics which are thus contrib
uted to the great mixing process which
is going Oh in this great kneading
trough of the nations and which must
affect the character of the future Amer
lean when immigration shall have
ceased, and the process of intermar-
riage of the different races shall at last
have produced its type of national char
acter.
There is no nation on the earth which
idS Huduo any pIOSISSS III ClVlllZdUlO0
but is represented among these immi-
grants. While Europe sends the great
bulk of the immigration. still Asia is
represented and Africa furnishes a
quota. For the year reported 502, ,9i7
persons arrived by ship and steamer
who avOWed it to be their purpose to
make this country their future home,
not counting those who came from over
our immediate borders, and of whom no
return is made. OF these Europe con-
tributes Ass. 1892, and of these 304, ,S44
were males and 1873, ,9SS were females;
5G,345 were under fifteen years of age,
40S, ,059 were between that and forty
years, and but 24.429 were over forty
years, showing that we are drawing on
the most vigorous element abroad.
The chief sources from which this
European immigration is drawn are the
United Kingdom, which gives us l09,0S6
people, of whom England contributes
46, SOL: Scotland, 12, l55; Ireland, 40, 233,
and Wales, 1,l91, and. of the total, 50, :
600 are males and 1886 are females.
Germany follows next with=96 ,361. of
whom nearly SO per cent were males !:
Italy follows with II. las, of whom 70
per cent were males; Austria-Hungary
sends SO, 1858, of whom 20 per cent were
men; Sweden=comes;next with IS, CIT, of
whom 81 per cent were males, and
