tent. They do understand our Government or our
institutions, have but little sympathy with them and
come to Our shores solely because they have great
expectations pf acquiring wealth. When those ex-
pectations disappointed such immigrants will IN
evtably join the idle discontented classes OF great
cities. Their lawlessness will complcate strikes and
all other industrial civil disturbances and be con-
tinual menace to labor and to capital alike.
1t is only desirable but imperative that some re-
strictlon be placed upon immigration OF that kind
The recent Investigations OF the United States Indus
trial Commission show that the present laws vague
and lax, and is almost impossible to enforce them
Thus it IS made clear that something should be done
at the coming session OF Congress TO revise the
statutes the subject and guard the republic against
a form OF invasion which is almost as evil any
military invasion could be.
The issue has long been before the American peo-
pie. Time and again stringent immigration laws have
been reported to Congress- but in almost every
they have been pigeonholed in conInittee-rooms or
beaten on the floor of either the House or the Sen
ate. Such laws as have been enacted are shown
be comparatively valueless. The issue, therefore
remains unsettled. 1t is to be seen whether the in
creasing rush of immigrants noted in the fiscal year
just closed and likely be greater in the present
year will so arouse the people to compel Congress
take action OF adequate kind without further de

THE PORTO RICO HURRICANE.

n ETAILS from Porto Rico show that the hurri-
| J cane which recently swept that island
caused an amount OF destruction which makes
it one OF the appalling calamities OF times
Lack OF communication throughout the island
ders it impossible for the officials to gather full infor
nation OF the number OF deaths or the extent OF the
damage but from what has been learned Governor
General Davis estimates that upward OF thousand
persons were killed, something like 100000 rendered
homeless, one-ffth OF all the dwellings the island
DESTROYED and all crops and most Of the fruit trees
ruined
Had disaster so widespread and so terrible
occurred in any northern country it would have
tailed famine and starvation and winter OF desoa-
ten. No new crops could be raised between and
tie coming OF fross, and the ruin wrought directly
by TIE storm would be largely augmented by the in
evtablc distress that would follow. Fortunately, it
will not be so bad in Porto Rico The tropics have
many evils, but they not without conlpensatng
advantages. 1t will be comparatively easy to erect
such houses as needed in that climate, and the
fertile soil under the glowing will soon send
up fcod for the people whose crops have been de
stroyed
The one need OF the island is immediate relief and
ic good fortune for the people they now part
OF the United States That prompt and liberal char
ity for which country noted will be extended to
them The Government itself has but lttle money
avaiirble for help, but private contributions be
counted on TO compensate for any lack OF government

with arms in their hands but with food, clothing and
none, The effects OF the terrible disaster will be
aeyated as far as humanity can do it In Porto
