1t is not the number, but the change
in the character of the immigrants
that has excited apprehension and led
TO the present agitation in favor of
more stringent immigration laws. AL
though the principal causes of this
great influx of immigrants may be
found in the prosperity of this country
and in the industrial depression in
Europe, there is no doubt but that laws
have been enacted by some of the
European nations which were intended
to get rid of an unwelcome element of
the population by forcing them to emil
CRATE. AS a case in point, since Octo-
Der, 1899, over $4,000 Roumanian Jews
have secured transportation to this
country and more will undoubtedly fol-
low. The outcast scum of the lowest
quarters of Southern andSoutheastern
Europe make up the greatest proper
Gion of the number of arrivals at pres
sent. The sturdy tillers of the soil
Grom the more Northern countries with
good red blood in their veins, the heri-
tage of generations of hard working
and clean living ancestors, with the
brain and muscle and stamina to make
a place for themselves in a new land
by the hardest kind of labor, who in a
few years time become land owning,
taxpaying citizens, with an intelligent
appreciation of the privileges of their
citizenship are in the minority.
1t will take three generations at
least for the poorly nourished, unedu-
Gated, pauper bred class, stunted both
mentally and physically, that is flock
ing in now, to even approach the
standard of American citizenship. It
is from this class that the anarchist
groups are recruited. Their stand
ard of living is so low as to make
them unfair competitors of American
labor, and Congress can not too soon
take action to limit the admission of
these classes. They are undesirable
acquisitions in every way.

AFTER seven weeks debate the SEN
ate has passed the Lodge Philippines
DILL providing for the establishment Of
civil government in the islands.
The House also has bill, prepared by
it's Committee on Insular Affairs, of
which Congressman Cooper of this dis
trict is Chairman, which in many es-
seutia1 particulars differs widely from
the Senate bill. This House bill is a
much more liberal measure than the
one just passed by the Senate. It is
warmly endorsed by many of the party
leaders and is more nearly in accord
with the views Of the Taft Commission
as to the proper course to be pursued
in the islands than the Senate meas
ure. The Cooper bill provides de-
tailed plan of government and fixes
the time when it is to go into opera
ton. This it is believed will satisfy
the demands of the Filipinos for
definite declaration as to their political
prospects from the United States gov
ernment. The Cooper bill provides
for legislature of two branches, of
which the Philippines commission
would constitute one and an elective
assembly the other, the suffrage to be
restricted by certain educational and
property qualifications.
The Senate bill leaves the govern
ment in the hands of the commission.
Governor General Taft takes the view
that it is absolutely necessary that the
Fi1ipinos in order that they may be
taught self government should have a
part in the establishment of stable
government under American guidance
and control. His view of the case is
shared by many Of the men who are
most familiar with the conditions in
the islands who believe that if the Fill
pino is ever to be educated up to the
point where the government can safely
be trusted to his hands, the practical
education of the natives cannot begin
too soon.
The House bill provides that the
Legislature shall send two delegates to-
Washington. The Senate bill con-
tains no such provision.
The House bill practically incorpor-
ates our own bill of rights with the
exception of the right of trial by jury
and the right to bear arms. It also
adds the declaration that residents of
the Philippines owing allegiance to
the United States shall enjoy the same
protection as citizens of the United
States from injury by foreign govern
ments and from injury in foreign
countries. These provisions are omit
red from the Senate bill.
Mr.. Cooper's bill also provides gold
standard for the islands, making the
gold dollar of the United States the
unit of value. The Senate bill on the
contrary makes no provision for the
esta blishment of the gold standard
and sets up the silver Standard by the
free coinage OF Filipino dollar. The
House will in all probability substi-
tute the Cooper bill for the Senate
measure and pass it practically in its
present form. The result of the dis
agreements between the two bodies
will be a compromise measure en-
bodying some of the features of each
bill

CONGO OR KoNGop
The Former Spelling of the Rivers
Name Favored by Usage.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
It appears to be due to the United States
board on geographic names that the Eng
disappearing people do not have a uniform
spelling of the name of the second greatest
river in the world. The spelling Kongo,
however, is confined almost wholly III this
country to government publications and
maps, which are requi1e ed to abide by the
decisions of the board. 1t is difficult To say
upon what logical or historical grounds the
board adopted Kongo The word was spell
ed Congo by the Portuguese explorer Diego
Cam, who discovered the mouth of the
river in 1iS4-S5.
This is the spelling in all the Latin ccun-
tries that give the name to the river,
though the Portuguese call it the Zaire.
Congo has been the common usage among
all English-speaking peoples for three CEN
turtles without variation, with the recent
exception of our government publications.
For some inscrutable reason the board on
geographic names decided to employ the
spelling Kongo, used largely by German
writers, but not by some OF the leading
German geographers The form Congo. for
example, is used in the Stieler and Tas-
chen aliases, published by the famous map
house OF Gotha, and also in DR. Eeli's
"Nomina Geographical" the most authori-
tative work on geographic names.
The name given by common consent to
this river is an interesting illustration OF
the many mistakes in geographic nomen-
African natives as the Congo. They, I'm
fact, apply different names To different
parts of the river. Diego Cam made the
blunder of attaching to the river the name
of the ancient native state to the south OF
1t. When later Portuguese travellers asked
the people of the lower Congo what they
called the river they said * was the Zaire.
The poet Camoens sang of that crystal
clear river, the long. winding Zaire," and
the Portuguese have retained the name to
this day
But the word was not name; II means
simply river and was applied by the natives
near the Congo to any large stream. The
Congo as a whole never had native name.
But the word Congo, though wrongly ap-
piled to the river had been so thoroughly
established in the literature and maps Of
several centuries that the world declined
to give it up when Stanley attempted to
substitute the name Livingstone river.
Congo ii is and will always remain; and
Congo is the spelling. warranted by CEN
turtles of usage and adopted by most writers
and map makers.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS.
Fatal Malady Common in Villages in
the Congo.

From the New York Sun.
The British government is investigating
a mysterious disease, which was first OBJ
served about fifteen years ago in native VIII
lagos along the Congo, known as the sleep
ing sickness. The cause of the malady is
not understood. nor has a cure been dis
covered White men seem to be safe from
its attacks, but the victims among the ma
tives are numbered by many thousands
Stanley lived for five years on the Congo
and never heard of the disease which be-
gan to attract attention some years after
he had founded his stations along the river
The malady has been gradually spreading
eastward until it has reached the British
territory Of Uganda, where several thou
sand natives have died of it within the past
year. The commission sent out by the
British government will study the disease
in that region.
The malady Is painless but usually fatal
The only symptom apparent to the medical
missionary Is an Irresistible impulse to
sleep. The patient may go to sleep in the
midst Of a conversation or while he is eat
ing his dinner. This unnatural slumber
does not refresh him, but he slowly grows
weaker. The periods of sleep become more
frequent and Of longer duration, and the
patient usually dies in one of them.

Playing golf with a snake coiled around

Harry Barlow on the Hackensack Club
Inks one day last week. A party Of young
married women were having a putting
match and incidentally a picnic in the
woods. At one point in the play Mrs. Bar

bag strap, and she gave two or three kicks
to free herself. The last effort threw
snake about three feet long before her on
the grass. Some of the women promptly
left the vicinity, but Mrs. Barlow completed
her drive. The incident broke up the picnic
