COMPARATIVE FIGURES.


From the above It will be seen that
while the immigration of 1898 Is by no
means equal to that of a boom year Ii Is
almost IL, 900 greater than last years. Yet
the forebodings of those not satisfied with
this years immigration are pretty well
justified by the facts after all.
For majority of those coming to
America this year instead OF being sturdy
farmers, with money In their clothes, all
ready to take up land and settle down ss
solid, wealth producing citizens, are sim
ply unskilled laborers, with only enough
money to enable them to escape the charge
OF impending pauperism and with neither
the inclination nor the ability to become
successful, desirable agriculturists. There
are many more Italians, for instance, than
either Hungariaps, Germans, Austrians,
Scandinavians. English or Irish. In fact,
the Italians are almost as numerous as the
men of all these other nationalities put to-
gether. And at the same time the fairly
well to do farmers even among this year s
immigrants from northern Europe form a
much smaller proportion Of tho whole than
usual.
Great Increase Of Deportations.
In other words tho grade of immigrants
now coming Is hardly better than that
which might be termed ''the dregs of Eu-
rope" This is no doubt due to three
fold causo-0rst, the war; second, times
arc better in the old world than they have
been; third, the inducements here are not
so alluring as they once were. Much of
the best land has now been taken up, and,
while vast tracts of excellent agricultural
territory arc still unoccupied, 1t Is for the
most part too far removed from present
markets to be thoroughly attractive.
This latter consideration counts nothing
at all with the unskilled laborer, partiou-
larly II he be an italian. His scheme is
not to make permanent home for himself
and his family in America. He desires
only to get work few years at higher

Danites is redOlent with the air of the
west and It was before the railroads
as it was when there was the chivalry
and the sense of justice of the pioneer
entirely on his own resources.
The Danites was given a painstaking
production and was well liked by the
audience. HonorS were quite well di-
vided. The central figure OF course
was Mr.. Rankin as Sandy. He was
just and earnest and natural and
strong and effective in the part as he
was too many years ago to tell with

Rankin is aging, which of course
would not be a fair statement. As
Billy Piper Miss O'Neil again dis
played her versatility. The most re-
markahle thing in her dual character
ization was her wonderful expressive
ness OF oountenance. Miss O'Neil in
male attire gave evidence once more
that size studies with fullest care any
thing she undertakes. Mr.. Frank
Curtis as the Parson was the Joy and
pleasure Of mis- many new acquaint-
anceS and old personal friends in Ho-
noIulu. Mr. Curtis was simply show
ing the talent that he has always pos
sessed and that can get him engage

want it. He commanded the adInira-
tion OF all in several scenes. Curtis
and Miss O'Neil had one of the curtain
calls. The part of the ParsOn calls for
