STILL THEY CONE.

Immigration figures for the fiscal year 1902
are suggestive The total was 64S.743. That
was SO per cent more than in 1901, 10 per
cent more than in 1900. POS per cent more
than in 1899 and 2S3 per cent more than in
1898 It was a record breaking record-if we
may use the phrase-in respect OF quantity. 1t
was equally record breaking In respect OF quail
ity. or of lack of quality. The more they come
the worse they are OF those over fourteen
years old 2S.7 per cent were illterate. That
was the highest rate OF illiteracy on record.
Those coming from the countries OF Eastern
and Southern Europe. the least desirable parts
of that continent, were 546 per cent OF the
whole the largest percentage on record. The
number Of South Italians. the least desirable
from that kingdom, rose from $500 in 1899 70
1872 900 In 1902. The number of Poles rose
from IS 400 to 69600 The number OF Slovaks
rose from 1880 TO $4,000. The number of
Croats and Slovenes rose from $500 TO 10000.
These last four are conspicuous in the disorders
and outrages Of the present time in the coal
regions.
Not only are we thus getting increased num-
bers and an increased proportion of the least
desirable peoples of Europe but are getting
a lower and lower grade Of them. Thus of the
Greeks, III per cent were illiterate in 1900,
259 in 1901 and so in 1902 The proportion Of
similarly increased in the three years, from
37.4 to 39.7 and to 422. The Lithuanian figures
Of illiteracy for the three years are 81, 1913
and 541 per cent The Portuguese are worst
of all-namely. 500 63S and 71.6 per cent.
Against such figures there is little comfort in
noting that the average amount of money
brought in by immigrants has increased trife,
from S15 In 1901 to SIC in 1902. Sixteen dollars
is too small sum to counterbalance the ilit-
eracy and degradation which accompany it.
Nor does it greatly matter that the proportion
destined for New York, Massachusetts. Penn
sylvania and Ilnois-that is, for the great cen
tres of population-has decreased from 695 TO
CTS per cent Illiterates are no more welcome
in rural than In urban districts.
We cannot justly be charged with nfriend-
illness or inhospitality in saying that such an
influx should be checked. II is all we'll enough
TO talk of Americas being the asylum of the
oppressed" and all that America should not
be an ASYLUM Of lliterates and degenerates It
should not be made the dustbin and cesspool
Of the nations We have not always fully
sympathzed with all the attempts of organ
lied labor to exclude competition with it's own
restricted ranks. But we are free TO say that
all American labor. organized or unorganized
skilled or unskilled, should be protected against
such an invasion as these figures indicate.
Two-thirds of million year, and nearly one
third of them illterates and practically paupers,
The American social. industrial and political
system may be able to digest such mass and
to assimilate it, But it can do so only under
a greater strain than it should be subjected TO-
It can scarcely do so without more than one
attack of Indigestion with all it's attendant
evils

FIREPROOF 4RHORIES.

If New-York years ago had adopted the policy
of building fireproof armories the gain to the
taxpayers and TO the public interests generally
would have been of the highest Importance
Every public building ought TO be as thoroughly
fireproof as The Tribune Building is and of as
substantial and enduring construction There
has never been a shadow of excuse for so
wealthy a city New-York putting up weak
frail and infammabe structures
Above other construction work done at the
expense of the community surely that upon
armores should be of the solid and lasting
kind. and secure against destruction by flames
When mob violence is at its height what pro-
lection can armories which are not freproof
afford TO our regiments against the crimes of
incendiaries? To ask the question is to answer
it. Armories which are not fireproof are practi-
cally worthless.
But large amounts We're spent upon the
armory of the list Regiment. 1t was ravaged
by fire, and after the flames had made wreck
of it the walls were in such dangerous con-

The retirement of Clarence H. Mackay from

best friends of the turf. He was generous TO
a fault in his turf operations, wideawake and
alert, progressive and high minded. He wanted
the best, and spared no pains or expense IN get
ting together a really high class stable But the
prospect that his fast horses will be Wen
handled hereafter looks encouraging. Ihe
jockey clubs of this country are welcoming val

tremely strong Our grand juries rarely make
the mistake Of arraigning Tammany politicians

How TO PRESERVE YOUTH

Flesh food. especially old beef or
mutton. carries within It all the ele-
ments Of death and decay. Nuts sup
ply all the essentials which are de-
rived from meat diet and are in
hnitely superior from a humanitarian
standpoint writes Stella Stuart. In the
Ledger Monthly on "How to Preserve
Youth Fruit and nuts form an ideal
meal Fruits and vegetables are valu-
able factors In retarding age. on ac-
count OF the large amount Of water
they contain. AS years increase, the
proportion of solid constituents in tae
body is greater than the fluids This
tends to produce stiffness and dryness.
Plenty of pure water should be taken
