DECREASED IMMIGRATION.
Less Foreigners Coming to This Country
Than . Year Ago.

Less Foreigners Coming to Thia Country
Than . Year Ago.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Returns re-
ceived by the immigration bureau dur
ing the last several months show a
marked falling off in the number of
immigrant arrivals in this country.
The number of arrivals during the
nine months ended March 81, 1897, was
142, 94l, as compared with FOG, $50 for
the same period in the fiscal year 1896.
This is a decrease of 81, 689. During
April the decrease at New York alone
was II, 439, and during the first II days
in the present month the falling off at
New York was $500. Commissioner
General Stump estimates that the de.
crease for the entire country during
the fiscal year ending June 80 next will
not be less than 93, 900, of which New
York probably will show 10000.

A First Night as Seen by the Artist C.. ID.
Gibson.
A London audience is brilliant. Ev-
cry one is in evening dress, and the au-
dience is often more entertaining than
the play. This is especially true on .
first night. At such times the pit 10
watched most anxiously by the manage
ment, as the success of the piece gener-
ally depends ON its verdict. It has Of
ten occurred to me, when I have zen
people on a stormy night forming a line
on the pavement outside the pit en-
trance, taking it all seriously enough to
stand there for hours before the doors
were opened. that by letting them in
side, the management might improve
their spirits and they in their turn
might be more gentle.
And it has also occurred to me when
I have seen a stout man standing in the
aisle fumbling for a sixpence or a shill-
ing in pockets that probably only con-
tain a bank note and a ~goldpiece that
the management might further improve
the spirits Of its audience by doing
| away with wcmen ushers, and by SELL
ing the programme at the same time
it sells the seat, for it is hardly fair
to the first act Of a play to make it over
come the fretfulness caused by annoying
attendants before it can hope to amuse.
But the second act is sure to have a faiz
start, and if the play is good from therl
on it will have no reason to complain

bic to give in full the address Of Mr..
Bryan to the Kansas Legislature. The
following is that portion OF his address
which it was stated would be used this
week. In the course of bis remarks Mr..
Bryan said:
"You know we get our ideas from
every source. You never know just when
you are going to get an idea. You never
know just the effect an idea is going to
have ON you. An idea is the most inn
portant thing a man can get into his
head. It will reVolutlonize his whole
life. You put an idea into mans head
and you never can tell what is going to
be the result Of it. We get our ideas
from every source. AS / was going
through Iowa one day on the train l saw
some hogs roofing in field. 1t carried
me back to the time when / lived on
farm, and when we had hogs, and as /
noticed the damage these hogs were
doing, the thought occurred to me that
we used to put rings in the noses OF our
hogs, and then the question suggested
itself to my mind, Why did we do itH
Not to keep the hogs from getting fat;
we were more interested in their getting
fat than they were. The sooner they
got fat the sooner we killed them; the
longer they were getting fat, the longer
they lived. Why did we put rings in the
noses OF the hogs while they were getting
Fat? In order that they might not de.
stroy more property than they were
worthE Then the thought came to me,
What is government but the putting Of
rings into the noses of hogs? / do not
mean it in any offensive sense, but ]
mean to assert that we are all hOggish,
chat we all have the instinct of self
preservation, which is manifested in what
is known as selfshness. l am one Of
those who admit that there is good in
selHshness. The more | see Of the way
in which the Creator has planned the
universe, tho better satisfied / am that
he was wise when he did it. / believe
that when he made man selfish he had q
purpose in it. Selfishness, as said, is
the manifestation Of the instinct Of SELF
preservation. I take care Of myself, and
you take care OF yourself. am glad
that the Creator has arranged 1t 80 that
can look after myself instead of having
to have somebody else to do 1t for me,
because, il I get into danger, my guar
dian is always there; whereas, il some
body else had been appointed to look
after me, he might not be there when l
wanted him. 1t is all right; the wrong
is when you carry your selfshness too
far. In other words, while you have the
right to look after yourself, | say that
wisdom teaches us that we can better
afford to put limitations upon our greed
and svarice than to leave the greed and
avariCe OF others without limitation, and
every law that begins, 'Thou shalt notl'
is simply ring in the nose Of hog.
Now, my friends, it is more necessary
than il ever was. want to express it as
my deliberate Judgment that there never
was time in the history of the human
race when the restraining part Of gov
ernment was as necessary as it is to-day.
Why, in the beginning, 1t was necessary
to protect the weAk from the strong man.

turned into political purposes. The
charter Of a corporation does not say
anything about it being permitted to
control the politics Of the community in
which it lives. More than that: II the
corporation be bank, or instance, you
never know until all the depositorg are
paid whether the bank has given It's own
money or the depositors' money when it
contributes to campaign fund. In the
case Of large corporations, where the
stock is bought and sold upon the open
market you do not know who the stock
holders are and you do not know what
their political notions are, and 1t may be
that the money Of the corporation, the
money of the stockholder, is being used
to defeat at the polls the very things
which the stockholder desires.
"You take away the contributions
which corporations make to campaign
funds, and, my friends, it will be much
easier for the people to choose whom
they desire; and more than that, / want
to take away the temptation that can be
placed before the elected officer. When
q man is elected to an Office, care not
what it is, l want him to 60 into that
Office in position to do his duty as he
sees it. I don't want i'll that any great
corporation can 60 to him and say, we
contributed the money which elected
you, and now we expect you to give US
chance to make it back out Of the peo-
ple,' or threaten, il he dsres to do so and
80, the corporation will put enough
money into his district to see that he
never comes back any more So I say I
would make one exception, and if had
the writing Of laws, the first law that |
would write would be law that would
make it unlawful for any corporation Of
any kind to give any campaign fund to
any political party on any pretext what
ever. But / say that, generally speak
ing, corporation ought to DO treated
just as an individual is treated.
SNOW, one Of tho things that is laid
against us out West is that we are hos
tile to the investment of money in our
States. We are not. What we are hos
tile to out Fere in this Western country
is to the investment of money and water
at the ratio of sixteen to one-sixteen OF
water to one of money. don't know
whether you have had the experience in
your State that they have had in other
States or not; but I know there are
States where railroad has been built,
where the government appropriated land
to help build the railroad, and then the
people along the road bonded themselves
to help build the road, and after the gov
eminent had given enough land to build
it, and after the people had given nearly
enough bonds to build the road again,
then they bond the road for more than it
cost to build 1t, and issue stock for
larger amount than the bonds, and then
expect people who patronlze the road to
pay rates sufficient to yield q good inter-
est on the bonds and good profit on the
stock besides. Now, say that il one OF
the things we complain Of, and I insist
that in treating with these people, they
ought to claim no higher rates than the
individual has, and especially should
they not do so because they have q Ger

trust and tho corporation in order to
have any chance in the race. My friends,
it is changed; it is changed condition
from what it used to be. Our idea of o
republican form Of government, our idea
Of q democracy, is that the people have
the right 10 select whom they please 40
their public servants, invest them with
power, keep them in public places as
long as they will, and turn them out
when they desire. But you give to the
trusts and corporations control Of your
politics-city, county, State and National,
and the people have nothing to say; they
simply endure what those powers say
they must endure.
"The restraining power Of government
must be called into execution and the
government must assert upon every occa-
sion the power to protect every citizen in
the enjoyment Of equal rights with every
other citizen.
~ have been very much gratified to
see the extent to which the Legislatures
are this year going in trying TO prosecute
the trusts. The great trouble is, that
some Of the trusts are located in States
where, by controlling the Legislatures Of
those States, they are able to prevent
any interference with their business,
while they reach out and oppress those
living in other States.
"But, my friends, we have made good
commencement. In Georgia, / believe
they have succeeded in passing a law
which has compelled the trusts to quit
doing business. In Texas, believe the
law Is good; and il we can in these
States, in which we have control, build
up a public sentiment against the exist
ence of any trust, we will at last be able
to make our influence felt on public sem
timent down on the Potomac, and stop
nationally what we must stop in our
States and local communities.
"NOw, I want to say to you that I am
not what you would call, or could be
justly called, an enemy to corporations.
I do not believe that the corporation
should be singled out and denied any
just right OF advantage. All that I have
insisted upon, and insist upon now, ia
that the corporation created by lava
person brought into existence by govern
ment-should not have any higher rights
than the person whom God created and
placed upon his footstool. In other
words, that the works Of the Creator are
entitled to at least equal consideration
with tho works Of mans hands.
"a corporation is brought into exist
enCe for q public purpose. No person
ever advocated corporation on law OK
cept upon the theory that the corpora
tiOn would be good thing for the
public. You cannot imagine that any
intelligent people would call into exist
ence an agency, fictitious individual
with the knowledge or the desire thai
that agency or individual, when existing
should be a menace to the welfare Of tht
people themselves; you say you canno
suppose that. Then insist that thl
corporation that is brought into existence
for the benefit Of the public should b.
made to stay where the government put
it; that corporation organized to con
