UNDERGRADUATES IMMIGRATION.

According to reports from New York.
15.oo Italians have already landed ON our
shores this year. and 1900 more are on
posed TO be due TO the fear that laws will
be passed In this country fixing an edu-
cationai test for immigrants. Whatever
IT Is. the result OF such immigration IL
not. and cannot be. beneficial to the Unit
ed States. There Is . class Of people who
think that because a little OF thing IL
good. . great deal Of It must Of course be
better. This rule may be all right in
some instances. but In the case Of immigra-
ton OF such character. the rule may well
be reversed.
The real question with respect to the
benefits or injury of immigration is wheth-
er this country can probably assimilate
any number and grade OF people who may
wish to come here. into Its ordinary in
dustrial channels: and furthermore. wheth-
er these people can adapt themselves to
our standard Of life and institutional
forms. Nearly half of the people who
came on one of the steamers had not
more than a dollar between them and
want. so that in the lack Of immediate en-
ployment they must become criminals or
paupers. Considering the fact that many
OF our native American laborers are idle,
is 1t wise to still further strain the situa-
ton?
The question need not be narrowed to .
Oh ~
1t II . question OF self preservation. To
the east and west OF us are more than one
thousand million of people. IS per cent.
OF whom are accustomed to lower stand
ard Of life. and a more arbitrary and re-
pressive system Of government than ours.
America is on the broad highway between
these vast populations. Can we hope to
maintain our standard Of comfort and In
telligence II we permit not the best nor
the average but the worst elements Of
but little restriction? As water finds its
level. SO will this country Inevitably sink
under an unrestricted influx Of miscellan-
eous foreign peoples.
According 10 the report of the immigra-
ton committee OF the national house Of
representatives says Bradstreet's. more
than one half of our white penitentiary
convicts. and more than half OF the white
inmates Of poorhouses are foreigners. while
the percentage Of foreign born population
is only l477."
This does not prove that foreigners are
inferior to Americans. II only goes to
show that the class OF foreigners who
usually come here are not as law-abiding
and thrifty as the native Americans. There
was an increase Of immigration In 1895
over 1894 of about 80 per cent. showing
that the tide has set in again. One OF
the great historians OF Europe claims that
the decadence of Spain began when her
best blood emigrated 10 America, or, as
he puts 1t. SPANS best blood was lost in
the wilds OF America, swamped in In
dian blood"
The process has now been altered. and
the southern European countries are send
ing us what they then retained. The ef-
fects are not difficult OF prediction

Another Barefoot County.
Monfaaann yidefte


King county sends up q wall Of woe at
the practical workings Of the so-called
barefoot school boy BILL" enacted into
law by the last legislature. While the
subject Is being dissected Chehalis county
may as well add its statement of facts.
On the 9Th Of April this county RENTED
to the state current school funds In tho
sum OF 0.2ss.49. and on the 18th inst. re-
ceives In return from the state $s101l,
less than two-thirds Of the sum paid into
our county treasury by the taxpayers Of
this county on the general state school
levy. In the per cent. Of taxes paid prior
to the date Of delinquency, Chehalis
county stands well toward the head Of
the list. and now 1t seems this promptness
is TO benefit the schools Of some other
county. while our own school districts
pay interest upon outstanding indebted
ness. pending the collection OF an equal
ratio Of taxes in other counties. True, at
some date preceding the millennium Che
halls county Is billed to secure q greater
sum In school funds than We collect, but
when.

Some Eastern newspapers seem to have
ideas of the West about as hazy - those
recently expressed by Mr.. Cleveland. The
Boston Ideas recently remarked that
Washington territory was Alaska-crazy,
and now the Pittsburg Post says: THE
state OF Washington stands pat for free
coinage, both Democratic and Republican
conventions indorsing it. The Democratic
convention. held on Tuesday. elected dele
gates to Chicago. and. although declaring
for free coinage. did not instruct the dele
gates to the national convention. The free
silver craze seems to be sweeping the West
and South" As the Republican conven-
ton has not yet been held. all that can be
said Is that the Post is poor at guessing.

A great many people in Spain seem in
clined to grant Cuba some degree Of in
dependence with such rights Of home rule
as are now accorded many OF the pros
porous colonies Of other European ma

OF immense benefit to Cuba, but they come
too late. Oppression has continued for
SO many years and relief has been SO long
delayed that 1t is doubtful IL anything
short OF absolute independence will now
be accepted by the revolutionists.

So many things are adver-
tised by dealers as suited to
the wants of persons who de-
light in giving during the
Christmas season. Nearly
every merchant or manufac-
turer advertises that his wares
are suitable for Christmas; it
doesn't make any difference
whether it is a needle case or
q II ton roller. We differ from
most merchants because we
believe our stock contains the
only useful articles fit to be
put in a stocking. In these
fin de steele times when Santa
Claus has ceased in the minds
of anyone above a four year
old, useful and beautiful pre-
sents are selected. Where is
the Miss of fifteen who would
mot rather have a set of China
in her stocking than a wax
doll? We have sets or single
pieces fit to grace any table

handsome decorations.

THE ROSE DIAMOND.

Ned Girard and were leaving the dia.

We had secured rose diamond which was
q fortune. We had been admiring 1t when
O man dashed In upon us, seized 1t and
made away. OF course we gave the alarm
as quickly as we could regain our scat
tered IDEAS but. though half the male
population Of the town turned out, IL WAS
to no purpose The robber and his plum
der had disappeared.
So, being, in local parlance, "down on

discouraged, had sold our claim to cou-
pie Of newcomers for about 1900, ard,

with many profane asseveratiops, he had
struck "pooket' from which he had TAX

least 5000 These he carried In belt
about his waist, together with consider
able sum of money from the sale OF his
claim, as he said, while girded to either

against possible attacks from road agents.
"They wouldn't play any of their games

ever so slightly behind his spectacles.
