THE YEARS IMMIGRATION.

With the immigration of the last
fiscal year down to less than 100000,
and showing a decrease from the
previous year in spite of our prosper
ity, many of the troublesome ques-
tions connected with immigration
seem to be in fair wav to settle
themselves.
That there is still a large number
of undesirable immigrants is shown
by the statistics of their illiteracy
and poverty. Or those over fourteen
years of age 43,O57 could neither
read nor, write, and of the whole
number 90, ,2O3 had less than $50
apiece.
No European country would per-
nit us to send them immigrants of
this description, and no illiterate or
pauper is desirable addition to our
population. Still, the average stand
ing of our immigrants is steadily i'm
proving, and as they represent total
increase of less than one third of l
per cent. to our total of population
they cannot be considered dangerous.
Our real troubles are much more
serious; our threa tened troubles are
immeasurably greater.

1t is fearful story of outrage,
arson and murder that comes from
North Carolina. And yet it is. in
essentials, not so bad as that from
Illinois. In North Carolina lawless
men have banded themselves together
to deprive local negro majority of
its privileges of citizenship. In Il
linois the governor of the state has
nulliGed the constitution of the
United States by forbidding colored
miners from Alabama and Indiana to
come into Illinois in search of work
and has declared that if they come
he evil shoot them to pieces with
Gatling guns" No worse example
of race intolerance ever occurred
even in the lawless period that fol.
lowed reconstruction.

there has been for 26 years. The
number will be &c. In the elections
of 1872 the Democrats got only 20
senators. But that was 20 out of a
senate of "A members. In the cleo
tions of 1874 this representation was
raised to 20. And since then the
Democrats have always had just a
few less or just few more than the
Republicans. Twenty-Five of these
26 senators will be from eleven South
ern states.

Camara's fleet, which kept out of the

meet and greet Emperor William.
But>when he sees it and is saluted by
it will he not ask. "Where are all the
rest of the ships that once constituted
Spain's navy?" What farce it is
to treat Spain now as power" and
what folly for her to hope-as the de
spatches say she does-for support
from the German Emperor! The
end of Spanish power came when
Cervera's fleet was destroyed off

The departure from this city for
Manila of four young women well
prepared by careful training for the
responsible and arduous duties of the
hospital nurse will relieve to some
extent the pressure Of anxiety which
has long rested heavily upon the
homes from which the brave hoys of
the Second Oregon went out last
April. The tardiness OF the medical
department IN dispatching assistance
of this character to the Philippines,
in view of the urgent need, IS one of
the inexplIcable things of the war.
Much that has borne hard upon the
soldiers has been excused on the
ground of lack of experience in NOV
ing and subsisting large bodies of
troops, but obedience to the simple
dictates of common sense was all that
was necessary when it came to the
question of providing nurses for the
hospitals. Fever patients can, if
they must, get along without doctors
and potions, but care and nourish-
ment they must have or die. These
young women go out with benson
from thousand homes, and with the
fervent Godspeed of ten thousand
anxious hearts.-Oregonian.

to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and suffering. The proprietors of DR..

ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and haYe the satisfaction of
knowing it has absolutely cured thous-

Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough-

only quick way to raise a large
sum of money---is in some way
an infringement of the rights of
their idol, the silver Mumbo-- jun
bo, and they are there fore opposed
to it. The people will probably
mostly agree with the republicans
that this is an almighty poor time
to be splitting hairs over the finan-
cial question
AS some recent visitors to Wash
ington have expressed surprise to
find all kinds of government bust
ness going on just as though there
was no war, it may be we'll to state
that the war has not and will not
interrupt in the slightest degree the
business of the Patent Office, the
Pension Office, or of any bureau of
the civil departments of the Gov
ernment. TO fight the war to a
successful end is important, but a
continuation of the material pro-
gress of the country is far more i'm
portant. Controller of Currency
Dawes says: 1.-THE banks were
never in sounder condition or bet
ter prepared to serve the interests
of the government and their Gus
toners than at present, " and it may
be added that the entire government
was never better prepared than at
present.

SARAH ELLEN CLARK,

For some weeks the situation of
Ms. CLARK has been critical and
her death which occurred Monday
was not unexpected. She was born
in Dingman Township about sixty
eight years ago, and was the daugh-
ter of Jacob and Catharine Van
Auken McCarty. About twenty
years ago she married Henry D
Clark, of Palmyra Township, where
she has since resided. She was an
excellent woman of quiet tastes and
disposition, and highly regarded by
her friends and acquaintances.
Her husband, a we'll known citi-
zen of the County, and two brothers,
John H. and Abram V. Nc Carty,
of Dingman township, survive her.

OBITUARY..
CHARLES Schultz.

The community was shocked Sun
day on hearing of the death of this
estimable young man which took
place the previous evening at his
home in Dingmsn Township. Thurs
day, April 21, while cutting brush he
ran thorn in the ball of his foot,
which wound apparently gave him
no uneasiuess, for a week later, on
the 2Sth, he was in Milford and did
not complain. On returning home,
however, he grew worse and tetanus
rapidly developed, which after caus
ing him indescribable suffering end
ed his life Saturday evening, April 30.
The deceased was born in Mata-
moras March 2, 1878, was unmarried,
a son of Charles and Louise Schultz,
both of whom survive him. Two
brothers, Augustus, residing in Mon
tague, NJ, William, in Orange Co.,
and a sister, Annie, at home, also
sun vive.
The funeral was held Tuesday at
his late home, and interment made
in the little cemetary near by.

FIre on the Knob.

Sunday fire broke out on the Knob
near Milford, and burned over con-
siderable territory. 1t seems as if
our woods are doomed and that in
a short time nothing but blackened
hills, covered with a stunted growth
of scrub oaks will greet the eyes.
These fires must originate in care
lessness or a wilful desire to do
mischief, and after they are start
ed are difficult to control. It
may seem harsh, but if there is no
other way to prevent such mischief,
land owners should have a trespass
law which will prevent any one from
passing over their lands.
