CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE,

ever been a people upon the face OF the

PLAGUE RUMORs DENIED.

The San Francisco Chronicle again
Indignantly protests against the allega-
ton that the city Is infected by the
bubonic plague. The reports, that pa
per says, are deliberately spread abroad
to give work TO lot Of political doc
tors who are DESTROYS Of making easy
berths for men who could not earn a
living practicing their profession In
private life. And then the paper goes
on to say;
1T Is now nearly three years since
the first alleged case Of bubonlc plague
was announced in this city. Since that
time the mountebanks who call them
selves psychologists have protested to
discover other cases. Perhaps hun
dred have been reported since the 9th
Of March, 1899. There is the best OF
reason, however for believing that In
every instance the disease was falsely
diagnosed and that the Chinese who
were said to be victims to the plague
had died from other causes. 1t Is motor
i0us that when watch was set on
these fake doctors who charge that
plague exists in San Francisco they
could not show case. During period
Of nearly hundred days, while our in
famous local health board was COM
PEELED to make an autopsy In the pres
ence Of doctors not interested In keep
Ing up the scare, not a single case was
shown to be bubonic plague, although
numerous deaths were reported as
such. In every instance the alleged
bubonic victim was found to have died
Of some other disease
The matter thus seems to be one OF
dispute between doctors To outsiders
II Is almost incomprehenslble that the
facts cannot be made known clearly
and indisputably As long as the con-
troversy Is on, San Francisco Is liable TO
suffer from 1t. The city should take
steps 20 prove that the rumors are
false, II that Is the case; II not. the
plague should be stamped out without
any false delicacy or nonsense about It.

OUR IMMIGRATION.

The immigration figures for the year
1902 came pretty near the high water
mark Of 1882, showing a total influx OF
$50 79S. The details prove that the ma
jcrity of settlers are now from Italian
Slayonc and Hebrew stock, instead Of
from Irish and Teutonic, and this Is n
feature Of importance. In 1882 the ar
rivals numbered 1882 There was a
falling off after that, and In 1898 the
total number OF arrivals was only 229,-
900. But since then the number has
again rapidly increased, Four-hfths OF
This years immigration, we are told,
comes from Southern Europe. The
Italians contribute the most TO this
food then the Huns, and then the Rus
SLAMS. The remainder Is made up OF
Greeks, Portuguese, RoumanIans, Ar
menians and Bulgarans From 1920 to
1900 the total immigration to the United
states was about 20,OOOOOO. More than
two-thIrds Of these immigrants came
from ireland and Germany In those
years the immigration from southern
Europe was very small, Today the Inn
migration from Italy alone exceeds by
considerably over 100000 the immIgra-
don from the United Kingdom and
Germany. From Russia we are getting
about as many as from those countries.
A great number Of the immigrants
crowd into the larger cities OF the East,
where they remain. On the other hand,
the eastern population Is more than
ever moving toward the great West
The Chicago Record Herald says that
never before IN the history Of western
rairoadng has there been such heavy
movement Of colonistsfrom east 10 west
II Is declared that In the month Of
October alone more than 10000 emf
grants passed through Chicago FOL
parts beyond the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers, and that this volume has
been sustained for some time, and has
shown no signs Of decrease Most OF
the settlers are of the better class OF
foreigners, but many Of them are east
crn farmers, who have sold out thell
small holdings In the cid states for the
larger ones that the price will secure il
new lands. II Is said that a great
movement Is also on toward the settle
ment OF Canadian lands of the north
west.
Thus the foreign influx has its inilu
ence throughout the country The
movement toward the west by foreign
and eastern farmers is one that should
be- encouraged. 1t Is bound to ASSUME
great proportions, as lands are beinl
made available for farming purposes.

CHURCHES UNITE,

One OF the striking features Of denom-
national activity at the present time Is,
as has already been noticed In these
columns, the tendency to union Of forces.
Another evidence OF this tendency now
comes from California, where, accord
ing TO press reports, an organization Is
to be formed next week, with the object
OF cooperation in UNCONVENTIONAL work.
The organization is TO be permanent
and will be called 1.-THE Federation OF
Churches and Christian Workers Of
Northern California" Similar organi-
cations have been effected successfully
among the churches OF the East, where
the movement is said to be becoming
widespread.
The convention called for the pur-
pose of effecting this organization. Will
consist of delegates representing Pres
byterians. Baptists, CongregatIopalists,
and Methodsts. Among the subjects
TO be discussed In the convention is,
"The Essential Unity Of Protestant
Christianity"
The movement for uniflcatioa may
be said to have been started with the
Evangelical Alliance, formed in Lon
don, 1876, for the purpose Of promoting
feelings of good will among Protest
ant sects. From liberation to cooper
alton is but one step, and this Is about
10 be taken now by many sects. They
are about to count their collective re-
sources, and endeavor 10 find out what
they can do with united effort. one OF
the problems 10 solve Is how TO deal
with the so-called over-churchlng
of small towns, That is to
say, II we understand the program cor
rectly, the idea is to seek a remedy for
the evil Of churches running in oppo-
sition 10 one another in places where
| one church, or two. Is all that the pop
| ulation can support. This may lead to
| the formation Of church trust with
| the object OF Keeping the held Clear LOT
churches belonging TO the union, and
| boycotting "scab" churches.
From cooperation We would think
the natural development should be
amalgamation, And that ought to be
easy among organizations that are es-
sentially one in the fundamental doc
trines. and teach that the points OF DIFF
renee are non-essential anyhow. II
ought TO be easy for them to come to.

ENFORCE THE LAW,

!" Judge MarIoneaux, in sentencing the
'o'lndian, Jbapah, for the killing Of his
''father at Deep Creek, expressed some
sentiments In direct harmony with the
views set forth in these columns con-
scerning the necessity Of maintaining
Gthe law, II the desire Is to have the
flaws obeyed. The subject Is OF special
vinterest at this time, because It Is but
ftoo evident that a wave OF killing Is
ltpassing over this region.
u The Judge emphasized that no atten-
ttion would be paid to statements OF
mitigating circumstances" az long as
no such circumstances had been proved,
rNo consideration would be paid to the
reported good character of the slayer,
or the alleged bad character Of the
slain. For a bad man has as good
IAN excuse for living as good man, 30
FAR as the defendant Is concerned when
hhe Is up for punishment. There Is 10
nmore license to kill bad man than
,therc Is to kill good man, except by
tprocess Of law"
And, 80 far as the good character of
vthe boy is concerned, good character
when once man Is convicted OF a
jCrime is Of no consequence whatever.
tGood character Is only important In de-
stermining whether man Is guilty or
innocent; when 1t is determined that
,he Is guilty, his character ceases to be
,any shield"
These are the doctrines that need to
lbe inculcated upon the public mind,
until those who are, from time to time,
,caled upon to act as jurors, UNDER
island their duty to be to pronounce
their verdict according to evidence and
mot according to sentiment or
,sympathy prejudiclal one way or the
'other. Neither money. friends, nor sex
should be a shield against the law, or
IAN excuse for doing wrong. If the law
is bad, chSege 1t, but enforce 1t as 1t is'

Imperfect law is better, II respected
than perfect one which is more or less

has a right to the protection against

ministration OF justice can give. AND
this justice should be meted out. not
only to those who unlawfully take life
but to those who are guilty Of minor
offenses. Were the statutes relating &c
saloons, gambling houses and Other
dens strictly enforced, there would
probably be less Of graver oflenses.

THE ELECTION RESULT,

tlnuous fortune Of the Republican par
