Immigration Restriction.

These fguges do not seem tn show,

cottages OF iliiteracy have more than
held their own relatively. Just look

date at Nov. 26, he continues: Not
withstanding the general industrial de-
preston which has prevailed in the
country we have been favored with I'M
precedented crops and marked free
dom from calamities and the year is
closing with the promise of high de-
gree of prosperity in all departments OF
industry. II is fitting, therefore, that a
day be set apart in which all of the
people of this state may join either in
their homes or in public places of wor-
ship to render thanks and humble ac-
acknowledgement to the Providence which
has vouchsafed to us these many
blessings"
It is grateful to the senses to learn
that after all there is something to be
thankful for. Most of us had not found
it out this last three or four years.

Prosperity Is Returning.

By the election on Nov. 3 great re-
sponsibiity was placed upon the re-
publican party and its representatives.
A responsibility greater than that
placed upon any other party for years,
because Of the dangerous spirit that is
in the country expressed in the Su-
preme court and federal authority
planks of the popoclatic platform, and
greater because of the fact that the
great mass Of people are diScontented
and are looking to the coming admins
tration to right the wrongs that now
exist and place employment and good
wages in the place where poverty now
dwells.
People lose sight Of the fact that leg
islation. hOwsoever wise, cannot pre-
vent tile action Of natural laws. If the
MANAGEMENT is such as will mitigate
the evils resulting from natural de-
preston and hold the country in read
mess for the action OF natural causes IN
the promotion of prosperity, it is all
that can reasonably be looked for.
With the possible exception of our i'm
migration laws there is no radical
change required in our system. There
is no disease lii our organs, consequent
" no remedies are necessary. All that
we should or can hope for in the pres
ent case is such wise supervision as
will not precipitate trouble in this
anxious time when our equilibrium is
so easily disturbed, but keep our affairs
in careful equipoise until better times
shall come.

WE have heard SO many kicks"
abont small things in city affairs that
we feel called upon to remark that
when some of us feel dissatisfied with
the management of city affairs and
think that some things ought to be
done that are not, let us remember that
there is no money in the treasury to do
these things with, and also the money
has been spent for good and substantial
improvements which we are all proud
of. Take our water system for in
stance. 1t has been extended about
three miles this year, and our sewer
system about one mile. And then our
most noticeable and costly improve
ment-the paving of Park avenue and
Market street the city had to pay
for all the street crossings and also
about 600 feet on east side OF
park. This costs money and lots Of it,
too. 1t has also put in number OF
miles of private walks. To be sure
they will get the money back tax time
for the walks built but it cannot be
used now.

A Last Word About the Campaign.

WE can not let the late campaign
rest without making few comments
on tie way in which the republicans OF
Kenosha county conducted their side
in it. There was never cleaner cam
paign conducted here or anywhere
else. There was no lying about the
opposing candidates and no dirty work
Of any kind. There is nothing to re-
greet; we have everything our way. A
few republicans might have had friends
on the opposite ticket, but this was not
a year to cut or scratch tickets.
The managers Of the campaign here
deserve all the credit that can be given
them. F. Fl. Hall, chairman of county
committee, had his hands full all the
time with correspondence with state
and national officials, besides county
matters. President e. G.. Tlmme, of
Kenosha City Republican club, the old
republican war horse, managed the at
fairs of our city club financially and
every other way as they were never
managed before.
No man in the state worked harder
for the success of the republican ticket
than O. M. Petit He has given his
whole time night and day for the last
two months to the republican party
and we hope the party will have a
chance to pay him back some day.
We might go on and mention large
number of other prominent men
throughout the county and city who
worked hard for the success of the
ticket, and also include the TELE-
GRAPH COURIER and EVENING NEWS,
but if we start there is no place to stop,
we all know who they are. They need
no mention, in fact we all worked hard
and succeeded, too; but we cannot
close without mentioning Secretary of
Republican Club Ell. G.. Cole. The
amount of work which he waded
through is marvellous and deserving OF
great credit.
1t is a fact that the percentage of
republican gains in Kenosha county
over four years ago is greater than in
any other county in the state, and that
the percentage of republican gains
throughout the state over four years
ago is greater than that in any other
state in the Union.

1t will be u0ticed that there has been
a very large increase in the proportion
of immigration from south eastern Eu-
rope aud s0me increase in the proper
ton of uaskilled labor. Iuasmuch as
the nations Of southeastern Europe
furnish the greatest proportion OF
illitoracy there has been largeincrease
in the percentage Of illiterate immi-
grants this year.
The average amount OF money
brought by immigrants is much less
than for many years. In spite OF the
apparently Inferior quality of much OF
the years immigration, the number
debarred aud returned is relativ ely less
than last year. Why that should have
been is ineKplicable.
About the only conclusion one can
arrive at from the above table is that
when there is least room for immi-
grants the least competent come in
largest numbers. Among those who
came to us from Russia, Poland, Aus
tria- Hungary and Italy there are
thirtY-two in every hundred who can
neither read nor write either English
or any other language. Just think OF
it! During the first six months OF the
present calendar year, the four nation
afties in this group have supplied al
most two thirds of the total immigra-
ton landed at New York; and the
Italians, among whom the rate of illit-
eracy is highest, were the most numer'
GUS among the new corners.
The last national census showed
that, while the foreign population Q
the country constituted only about one
third of the whole, it furnished cOnsid
erabIy more than one-half of the in
mates of the prisons and nearly three
ffths of the paupers.
These facts show that this question
one of the first Importance. The.
show that oar laws need considerabl
amending in this matter.
