Holy Land Experiences First Trade
Revival in One Thousand Years.
Berlin, March 26.--Germany's COM
mercial dominion in Palestine, initiated
by the kaiser's visit in 1898, has as
sumed considerable proportions of late.
Reports from the Levant say that Ger
man colonists, merchants and agricul-
turists, have awakened a spirit Of ac-
3tivity in the holy land that has been
unknown for thousand years past. A
German bank established in Jerusalem
in 1899 did business amounting to
6e,o0o,00O marks (s14,2sO,o0O) in 1901.
The waters of the Dead sea are now
trayersed by German boats, affording a
line of communication that connects
with the rich caravan routes of the
Arabian desert. German capitalists
are preparing to exploit the immense
phosphate fields bordering on the Jor-
dan, and German farmers are about to
monopolize the tillage Of the great
plain of Hauran, the granary of Tur-
key
With the completion of the Deutsche
Banks trans Turkish railway. ter1ni-
mating on the Persian gulf, and the now
proposed requirement of intersecting
lines, Germany has every prospect OF
the trade of Palestine
and Asia Minor.

THE IMPORTATION OF DISEASE.

Statistics given by an eastern Writer
show little to support the views OF
alarmists who see a subversion OF
American customs in the immigration
from foreign countries and the reten-
ton of old world habits and customs
by the immigrants. According to this
authority, during the ten years be-
tween 1890 and 1900 S,750,00O foreign
immigrants landed in the United
States. Nevertheless, the following
states of the country had fewer foreign
inhabitants at the end of the ten years
than they had in 1890: Alabama, lndi-
ana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland. Michi-
gan, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, South Car
DINA, South Dakota, Tennessee and
Wisconsin. The foreign born popula-
Mississippi, Utah, Vermont and Vir-
ginia were substantially the same In
1900 as in 1890. The total increase of
foreign born inhabitants given by the
census of 1900 over that of 1890 was but
100000 against an increase of the ma
tive born population during the same
period of more than 12,000,000, and from
these figures the writer referred to
draws the conclusion that no fear need
be felt Of a supremacy gained by for
eigners over native born Americans.
He favors a largely unrestricted immi-
grafton.
There is indeed small danger that
American customs will ever give way
to those imported from over the sea.
The foreigner will be Americanized,
not the reverse. But there is grave
danger in an unguarded and unrestrict-
ed immigration. The recent report that
showed an appalling number of lepers
resident in the United States, no Jess
than twenty being located in our neigh-
boring state of Minnesota, is a case in
point. The report suggested the estab-
lishment of leper station in the Unit
uplands of Arizona or New Mexico as
ideal spots where q colony of American
lepers might be segregated. The health
statistics of the underfed and unclean
of the army of immigration are alarm
ing. They show plainly that tubercu
losis. epilepsy. insanity and various
other diseases are brought here by a
dangerous percentage Of this class of
immigrants. All these figures and sta
tistics point out q serious danger to be
rigidly guarded. Leprosy and it's kin
dred diseases are imports Of a charac-
ter to be protected against The bill
now before congress looking to thor
ough restriction Of undesirable and
diseased immigrants is worthy Of the
careful consideration OF that body and
should become q law.

THE AMERICAN HORSE ABROAD.

The amount OF money invested In
American horses by Great Britain DUR
Ing the past six years is according to
English statistics $35,Ooo.oOO. The six
years include the time between 1895
and 1901 and the total of S35,009,000
does not include the value of the mules
purchased from this country by that
government. Were these included the
millions would be multiplied to an as
tonishing extent. the purchases of
mules amounting to more than $6.o00,-
600 from September, 1899, to the same
date in 1901, A writer in an eastern
paper commenting on the marvellous
growth Of our export trade in horses
] says: During the single year ending
with June, 1901. England received from
this country the notwithstanding total
of $4,000 horses, and our entire exports
of horses for that year amounted to
nearly 100000. These figures are al,
the more remarkable considering that
about ten years ago, or in 1891, the ex-
{ ports of horses from the United States
Z amounted 10 less than $1,000, 900. Il
These expectations began on large
scale in 1895, when over 10000 horses
! were sent to England. From that time
] on the shipments increased until in
1901, the record was as follows: South
Africa, 37,465; Great Britain, 22,6ss;
i Canada, S,43S; Cuba, 4,436; China, g.
S17; Philippines. 1875; Japan. 1886;
British Columbia, 7s5: and the British
! West Indies, 199. Since 1896 Great
Britain alone has received from the
United States an average of $4,000
horses annually. Our exports have in

OF all sorts which were capable either
of rendering immediate service or of

"Our expectation of trotting horses
during the last ten years has been es-
pecially notable. There is scarcely a
country in Europe which has failed to
appreciate the superior qualities of
the American-bred trotter. Germany,
France, Russia and Austria all have
been large buyers of American thor
oughbreds, and, In many instances,
American trainers have been selected

mirer Of Speaker Henderson asks the
question headlined above in. a com
munication to the Times Republican
which follows below:
Il Editor Times Repnblfcar,-Accord
ing to the Waterloo Courier Senator
Courtright will contest against Hen
derson for the congressional nominal
ton. This is a free country and no
man has monopoly of a public office
unless he is remarkably fitted for the
position. but why should the republi-
can party turn down Speaker Hender-
son? He has served his district and
his party faithfully for twenty years
and has been an honor to his constitu-
ents, his state and the nation. Are the
republicans anxious to diminish the
prestige of Iowa in the counsels of the
nation? With two members of the
cabinet, Henderson as speaker of the
house, Allison in the senate and more
chairmanships in congress than any
other state in the union. Iowa repub-
licans should be content and let well
enough alone. Henderson has seldom
differed from his party and has been
upright and conscientious in the per-
Torrance of his duty as he saw it.
The present wave of sympathy for the
Cuban industries instead of our own
may be altruistic, but is not true
American craftsmanship. Our own
citizens, our own industries and our
own welfare should be first considered.
Cuban sympathy is like our contri-
buttons for the heather in foreign
countries, when 81 per cent of the ne
groes in Louisiana at least can neither
read or write and live together like
animals or savages, and in the major
ity of cases cohabit without mar
riage ceremony and separate without
any form of divorce. If the Cuban
farmers would work half as hard as
they do in the United States they
could make more money than the
farmers do here, as their soil and eli
mate are more favorable. Henderson
evidently agreed with Secretary Will
son and the leaders Of his party on the
protection of the beet sugar industry,
but in respect to the wishes of his con-
stituents he has consented to moder-
ate concession. The speaker no doubt
fears to attack the steel industry spe-
officially lest it might result in an
