Success to the New Democracy

The adoption last evening of the ar
ticles of organization of the new city
and county Democracy closes the
books of the organizations of the past
and makes the Democracy OF this
county a single and powerful body.
Much good may be expected from the
work that was so we'll begun in the
framing of the plan of organization.
New men and old, the best thought in
the party, gave their time and efforts
to the production of a scheme that
would be altogether acceptable and at
the same time effective. 1t was con-
ceived in the first instance that a true
Democracy, could only come out of the
forming off, powerful governing
scheme. The scheme as adopted looks
sound and leaves no room for com
plant on the part of any true Demo-
crat. AS the direct result of last
nights work, the Democracy may
look forward with certainty to the sue
cess of the phrty at the polls at the
election in the spring of 1900. 1t is
but necessary that the people carry
out the work to which the leaders of
this new movement have given so
much of their valuable time and

Commissioner Powderly's Report

The annual report Of immigration
Commissioner General Powderly has
been submitted to the secretary of the
treasury and shows that the decrease
in the number of immigrants
arriving during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1898. as compared
with those of the year previous, was
only ,533, the total being 229, 299. OF
these 1857 were males. Italy con-
tributed the largest number, viz, S.
613; followed by Russia with q, 221; Ire
land, 25,128; Germany, 17,111; Sweden,
1888, and England, 9,877. Those de-
barred represented a total of 5000, or
about 1-3 per cent. and of this number
2,261 were paupers and not acceptable
because Of their liza Utility to become a
public charge Those coming under
the ban of contract laborers were All.
Those returned on account of disease
were 258.
The immigrants We're classified by
occupation as follows: Laborers, g.
531; servants. 1856; farmers, 1928,
and among steerage passengers were
81 actors, SO artists, 1913 clergymen, u
editors, 81 lawyers, 81 physicians, 1856
sculptors, bankers and 223 musicians.
These contributions of the professional
and capitalistic element, and especially
by the steerage method Of travel,
would seem to Indicate that some
branches were overcrowded on the
other side of the sea, and that some
Of the voyagers at least had been at

months.
To those who look with favor upon
! the increase of population through the
process of immigration the total, even
| though it did prove little below that
of 1897, ought to be satisfactory. The
percentage of laborers, however, bear
/ ing with them no other evidence Of
/ skill beyond that Of their title cannot
properly be regarded as a wholesome
/ quantity in view Of the already con-
! gested conditions existing here. AL
! though during the heavy immigration
/ months the country was on the verge
| of or ged in war. it is evident that
the fact did not prove deterrent, and
it is naturally to be assumed that, I'M
less our laws are still further amend
ed at the short session of congress now
approaching, the number of new arri-
walls viii exceed during the next cur
rent year those Of the present.
Commissioner Powderly advances
some ideas in regard to the further
| treatment of this subject which are
/ both reasonable and timely. For in
! stance. he favors an increase of the
! per capita tax from 81 to 81, his pur-
/ pose being TO provide a fund which
I viii enlarge the usefulness of the bu-
reau in its operations looking to in
! creasing the facilities for greater pro-
lection against the admission of GRIM
inal and other undesirable classes. He
also recommends the repeal of the law
prohibiting the expenditure Of a larger
sum for the care of immigration at any
4 one port than may have been collected
/ ut such port. This proposition also
| st ems fair and reasonable. No one
! rort has monopoly Of the immigra-
/ ton BUSINESS, and the law ought to be
/ made to apply more generally, so that
/ the entire system may be operated
/ without favor to certain localities as
/ against others.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Nov. 21.-Dr.
Joseph Atherton, a former resident Of
Goshen, Ind., settled in Pittston about
a year ago. The doctor liked quiet
game Of poker, but he found there were
players in the town who could heat

in Goshen named Lew H Rockwell

poker players in the West. to come on

day they met the farmer. A game OF
poker was proposed. DR.. Atherton

for several hundred dollars; Rockwell

town. Anterior now became suspicious.
It is alleged that he wrote to Rock

them to send 800 to Pittston. as their
son was sick. At the same time the
parents received a letter from the son
in another part of the country, asking
his mother to forward his overcoat
This led to an investigation, and Dr.

poses. He was taken before United

Dovvnward Tendency of Mhcn1.

The general tendency OF wheat nowadays Is
downward, in spite OF the fact that all that
is put upon the market Is at once absorbed
either by the miers or by the exporters.
This "bearlsh" tendency is due to the con-
viction that the favorable crop reports from
all the great foreign wheat fields are not
exaggerated and that therefore the export de-
mand is sure to diminish soon.
Those who are in a position to be informed
say that Europe will be able to feed itself
in the coming year. If this is true and our
homo crops as large as they promise to
be. wheat is sure to so much lower before it
