The estimation in which DR.. Keirle

profession is evidenced by the follow
ing letter written to DR.. Keirle by DR..
William H. Welch, pathologist to the
Johns Hopkins Hospital, and one Of
the best-known men in his profession
in the country.
81 congratulate you heartily upon
the unsurpassed success of the anti
rabic treatment at the city hospital
as shown in the circular which / have
just received. There can be no ques-
ton but that you have saved a large
number CT lives from a horrible death
wonder if the community, or even
the medical profession realize what a
great work you have done and are do
ing at the Pasteur institute, and what
it signifies to this and neighboring
states to have such an institution in
Baltimore. AS you know, I have
taken deep interest in this institute
ever since it's establishment, and it
has been great satisfaction to feel
assured of the precision of your
methods and to learn of the excellent
results, which are unequaled. do
| not know whether you find any diff
| fculty in maintaining the institute, the
expenses of which must be large. |
| know of no more suitable or worthy
object of pecuniary aid from the state,
which should esteem it a privilege
and a matter Of pride to support such
an institution"

ties of healthy citizenship. Greed
should not be allowed to coin the
sweat of childhood and rob children
of tender years Of two of the richest
jewels they can possess-health and
education"
On another vital matter he said:
"Tt has been part Of our national
policy to permit the people of other
countries to share with us our national
blessings. Many millions have come
hitler to unite their fortunes with ours
and Joint in unbuilding the country.
They have been in the main desirable.
They have been industrious self-sacrl-
ficing, patriotic. When the nation
has required they have stood shoulder
to shoulder with native born in one
enduring glory. For many years there
was no limit to our hospitality. There
was no prohibition against the coming
OF any who desired, but in recent
years we have deemed it in the ma
tional interest to exclude certain I'M
desirable classes among whom were
contract laborers. We did not con-
slider those as desirable citizens who
should be induced to come under con-
tract TO take the places of American
wOrkmen. We have not regarded it
in the national interest to admit peO-
pie who came under contract to labor,
and not of their own initiative, to be-
come Joint sharers in the splendid
privileges of our institutions.
THE Chinese were until compare
lively recent years permitted to enter
freely the field of labor. The Chinese
have no ways to common with US; they
are not Of our religion. They can
never become blended into our ex-
cellent citizenship. Acting upon the
principle that our supreme duty is to
our countrymen, we closed our doors
against the further admission OF
| Chinese laborers. There were those
who believed their admission wise;
that thereby we would obtain abun
dant and cheap labor, but those who sc
reasoned, reasoned against our ulti
mate best interests. Cheap labor is
| not the sole end we seek in the United
States. 1t is our pride that this is
not cheap labor cOuntry-that labor
is better paid here than in any othel
country. The sentiment is proclaimed
over and over again from platform ant
press. Cheap labor? No. We do no
want cheap labor. We want well pai(
labor. We desire not only well pait
| labor, but we want that labor steadily
employed. If the present rate O.
emigration continues, enough will b.
admitted in five years to make /;
state as great and as populous as thu
state of Missouri.
Many of the arrivals are desirable
Many of them possess qualities which
will make them good citizens, AM
many of them give no promise tina
they will strengthen our institutions
The quality of our immigration is no
sc rood or desirable as it was il
earlier days. The percentage of illit
eracy has increased in a marked dc
gree. Of those admitted last yea
above the age Of Il years, 162.lof
could neither read nor write. The

Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 3.-Cold rains and
frost over q large area CT Texas and
the territories gave the shorts in cotton
d scare this morning, which carried prices
up points from the opening. The eX-
port demand continues active, while re-
ceipts are running very light as COM
pared to 4 year ago all ports today get
ting only $4,000 bales. The large esti-
mates for tomorrow's port receipts
caused q reaction i'll the AFTERNOON but
Tuesday is always the heavy day and as
indicated in our recent letter we believe
that any decline will be only temporary.
Sentiment is very favorable to higher
prices and it will require perfect weather
throughout the cotton belt and very
heavy receipts to prevent good advance
from the present level of values.
