IMMIGRATION EXPRESSION.

Year before last the Government set
UP special commission to inquire. un-
der Instructions of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, into the operation of the i'm
migration laws. In January of this
year that commission made its report
A portion Of the report sets out the
views of the Governors of the States re-
garding further immigration in re-
sponse to letters asking what immi-
grants are preferred.
From Arkansas came the reply that
American, German and English farmers
were preferred as immigrants into that
State. California reported no unsup-
piled demand for skilled or unskilled la
borers, and no desire for further IN
coming of these wage-earners, but that
all desirable immigrants. farmers and
horticulturists especially. who have ca
pacity and the determination to become
good American citizens would be gladly
received.
Colorado replied to inquiry that first
class immigrants are wanted in every
part of the State. and that for horticult-
ure and farming Germans and Scandi-
navians are preferred Florida will give
preference 10 the English-speaking;
Georgia prefers Germans, French, Hol-
landers. Belgians. Scandinavians and
Swiss; Idaho prefers Scandinavians or
Germans; Iowa replied that no further
immigration is desired. Kansas pre-
fers immigration in this order, German,
English. French. Swsdes. Norwegians.
Kentucky answered that there Is no
disposition to encourage further immi-
grafton. Maine wants Scandinavian
immigrants to develop her agricultural
resources. but other classes are not
wanted. Massachusetts wishes no more
incoming of immigrants. Michigan pre-
fers the English-speaking. with Ger
mans and scandinavians next. Mime
sofa has no desire for unskilled in,uni-
grants. She can accommodate farmer
Immigrants having some capital. Mis-
sissippi prefers Germans Swedes Sec
ond. italians third. but is not particu-
larry des1rous of any more laborers of
any foreign class
Montana wants only farmer ammi-
grants from the north of Europe; Me-
braska prefers Germans. Scandinavians
and Irish; In New Hampshire Swedes
and Germans are most desirable.
New York reported that no further
immigration of any order needs to be
encouraged at this time. North Da-
kota suggests as preferable Scotch,
English, Scandinavians and Germans.
preSon's response was that farmers and
The record-union., 1896-04-13

farmhands are the CHIEF need there, and
that those from the British Isles are
preferable, with French, Italians, Ger
mans and Scandinavians next. Rhode
Island answered that every industry is
fully supplied and mere. Texas wants
immigrants of any class that are sober,
industrious, who will make good citi-
zens and add to the wealth and pros-
perity of the State.
Virginia prefers the English, Scotch,
Irish, Germans and Swedes, and Wis
consin prefers Germans
The summing up Of these opinions
gives this result: Fifteen are for Ger
mans, fourteen are for Scandinavians.
twelve are for English, Scotch or Irish,
three are for French, two are for Swiss,
two are for Italians, one is for Hol-
landers, one is for Be1gians, one is for
North Of Europe" one is for Ameri-
cans
There are it will be seen only two calls
for immigrants from Southern and
Eastern Europe, and both are for Ital-
ians. In one of these cases the Governor
wrote that he was not sure that immi-
grants from any country are de-
sirable now as laborers, and in the
other case the Governor added that un-
skilled labor was not wanted at all.
There is no mention of or call for Hun
garians, Poles, Russians, Bohemians
or Asiatics.
Commenting upon this showing the
immigration Restriction League says:
The immigrants from I0orthern and
Western Europe, such as the English,
Irish, Scotch, Germans, Scandinavia
ans and French, who are desired as
immigrants in all parts Of the United
States, are as whole well educated,
| there being on the average only four
per cent of illiteracy among them,
while the illiteracy of the immigrants
from Austro-Hungary, Italy, Russia
and Poland is over thirty per cent An
educational test, therefore, requiring
every immigrant to be able to read and
write before gaining admission to the
United States, would debar consider
| able number of the undesirable classes,
| while it would interfere very little with
| the immigration from the North and
West of Europe.
The league is warmly advocating the
passage of the Lodge bill applying the
educational test to all immigrants,
| though it is not by any means all the
| league desires. While it advocates
stricter regulation Of immigration, 1t
does not oppose the coming in Of any
Immigrants whose character and stand
ards fit them to become good citizens.
but at the same time 1t opposes immigra-
ton that Is likely to add to congested
populations and to enlarge the class of
public dependents The work Of the
| league, which appears to be a very
strong organization, indicates that
there is growing opinion among the
people, notably in the Atlantic east,
that the necessity has ceased for US to
solicit immigration, and that the need
now Is to select our comers with great
care. and to prevent the ingress of very
many of the GLASSES now permitted to
enter freely.

deep valleys and thousands Of obscure
paths familiar to the Cubans, who
know how to find them and how to cut
through the jungles of underground
that are almost impossible to regular
soldiery. The Spanish are really es-
topped from complaint about the tao
tics of the Cubans, because, as Mr.. Hal
stead points out, when Napoleon was
operating against Spain the Spanish
troops pursued precisely the methods
the Cubans now adopt, and Napoleon
complained bitterly Of having to fight
unseen foes" It was the so-called
guerrilla warfare of the Spanish that
caused Napoleon such heavy losses.

THE BLACK PLAGUE.

The black plague has appeared in
Yokohama. Just what it is never has
been ascertained with any degree Of
satisfaction. 1t is said by the best
posted to be identical with the disease
earlier known as the black death 1t
battles the skill of physicians. and is
less sensitive to sanitary regulations
than either cholera, yellow fever or
smallpox 4
This plague has invariably originated
or first appeared in Oriental countries,
and generally among peoples not ia
nous for cleanliness about their dwell
ing places. Unlike the cholera there
Is no periodicity in the disease. 1t comes
without warning and ceases its raw
ages almost as abruptly as it begins
them. For over 500 years it has been
known In Asia, and during all that time
no specific for 1t has been discovered.
Indeed, physicians have no agreement
even In q general way for its treatment.
That 1t will reach the American con-
infectious and contagious character are
conceded, it does not appear to have
easily crossed large bodies Of water.
When it entered Europe in the four
teenth century it came by the land
route, and was some time on the oppo-
site shore before it appeared In Eng
land or crossed to Ireland.
It is very fortunate that the Japan
ese have been the most successful OF
any people in dealing with the pesti-
lence, for it is IN their island that it
has first appeared, and we may hope
therefore, that they will be able to stay
it's march by rigid system of Quaran-
tine and enforcement Of cleanly condi-
the throats Of their people.

1t is favorite argument with those
opposing the cause Of the Cubans that
they do not come out into the open and
fight the Spanish troops in pitched bat
tle The weakness of that position has
been clearly exposed by the recent proc
lamation Of General Gomez. In which
he says that the Cubans fight as best
contributes to their success. Spain re-
fuses to recognize them as belligerents
under the laws Of war; why, then, insist
that they shall do battle in the open
with such an enemy? But the strong
point Is that the Cubans occupy seven
tenths Of the territory of the island,
have the city Of Havana practically in
vested, and therefore they are in that
degree successful, and Justify their
claim to be recognized as belligerents.
In other words. success is the test.
Moreover, there is nothing barbarous
or out Of the common in a hill and
hiding" fight. Many nations have car
ried on war In that way. The Swiss
won independence in precisely that way.
In the American Revolution our patri-
ots often fought In such a manner and
were compelled to do SO for much the
same reasons that impel the Cubans
to that method. It was a case OF lack
of artillery for one thing. and the need
was imperative that the enemy be ano-
noyed as much as possible with the
least possible exposure OF the devoted
patriots As Mr.. Murat Halstead points
out in his recent article in the Review
of Reviews" Cuba has vast tropical
forests that afford shelter to the insur-
gents and cripple the movements Of
the Spanish troops This gives the Gu
bans a natural advantage that they
should and do avail of. The roads Of
Cuba, he says, are few and far between,
her mountains are vast masses with
