coming to the United States has but

lowering of the standards of AmeTi-
can citizenship which have hitherto
prevailed.
A continued willingness to receive
them will be an excellent thing for
the countries relieved Of an otherwise
certain burden of pauperism and
crime. and It viii be correspOndingly
costly to US. There is no good rea-
son why we should thus consent to
become q vast poorhouse OF penal
colony for Europe's benefit.
The announcement that President
Roosevelt proposes to touch upon this
subject in his forthcoming message to
Congress, and that he will urge the
necessity of more rigorous protective
measures against undesirable immi-
grafton, will prove pleasing TO the
country at large. There is such a
thing as being too complaisant and
unseifsh in assuming other peoples
burdens, and good nature carried &c

A FARTASY OF FALLTTHE.

1t was a vagTom winter wind,
Came bowling up the hill;
With putting cheeks he wildly dinned
His way where all vas still;
He shouted through the forest deep,
And startled all the leaves,
And warned them Of the coming sleep
When stricken summer grieYes
He swept across the level field.
And scared the 1owIy sod;
Yet one there was who would not yield
The Lady Goldenrod-
She Haunted still her crown OF gold;
A sly coquette-she swayed
And trembIed at his bearing bold
But she was nnafraid
He came careering Ger the land,
And sang: "Afar I've come
To place the scepteT in the hand
OF Queen Chrysanthemum!'
His was the gayest GROWING blast
That ever yet was blown,
When Queen Chrysanthemun at last
Went proudly to heT throne.
Il was vagrom winter wind,
Went shouting down the hill;
A wild bunoon, he madly grinned
At his face. in the riIl-
He tarew a kiss to all the leaves,
Who fed. surprised and hushed-
And there, where stricken sumner
gr1eves,
They shyIy bent. and bIushed.
