Speaking of the number of 1mml- grants coming to this country at pres ent, Golfers Weekly handles the ques- tion without gloves. It says: Coun- terfeiting, blackmailing, murder and disease have been calling the attention of immigration authorities to the quail tty of citizen that is now being pre- scented to Us by Southern and Eastern Europe. Thirty thousand month is now the rate at which we are filling our country with South Italians; with the people who are a~drag on Italy her self. Northern and Central Italy is ambitious and enlightened progressive intellectually and industrially; and the greatest obstacle which the kingdom finds to taking a higher place i'll civil1- zation is the south end of the pendn- sula, which seems to be hopelessly law less, superstitious, dishonest and lazy. This abscess is what we are kindly un- dertaking to assimilate. All over It. ally lectures are now given, explaining to the people the advantages and meth- ods of emigration; a very wise move for Italy, but one not so charming for US. The Italians in our cities, most of whom come from Naples and Sicily are the most dangerous large class of citizens. The Italian immigrants are now a third of the whole. Many of them are brought over for definite work, in spite of the law against inn portation under contract to labor. Aus tria- Hungary, which comes second in volume, is thinking of trying to keep its citizens at home. Russia and Fin land are third, with three times as many as come from any more desir- able nation. We were glad to have our country filled up by Irish and Ger mans, but we have ruthlessly exclud- ed the Chinese, and we regret the in evitable presence of the negroes. How long shall we submit to an influx that will probably approach million thls year and surpass 1t next, when most of that million is of q quality which promises us no help and threatens de- gradation? As the laws now stand it is difficult to send back one immigrant out of two thousand; and, besides, de- portation is a cruel method, to be used only in extremity. What we need is new legislation, and congress will do we'll to give the danger serious atten- tion.

 When the house on Thursday reject ed the bills giving part or the whole of the trolley taxes to the towns in which the roads operate, it took action hardly to be expected from a body so dominated by the towns.

Waterbury at the present time is overstocked with dogs, good, bad and
 indifferent, and if Constable Pryor does his duty the city's exchequer will be fattened up or there will be a number of dead canines. In some sections of the city they are a positive nuisance. They overrun lawns and verandas at all hours of the day and night, making life miserable and lawns desolate for those who happen to be their victims. The Hartford Times says that there are indications that the sentimentalism which makes all dogs admirable be- cause some really are so is receiving 8 check. Most people have q sneaking liking for any half-decent dog, and love some particular dogs better than they can the majority of their fellow men. But all this does not alter the fact that neglected, ill-tempered, homeless dogs are never very nice and may be very

The supporters of Cleveland for q third term and a fourth nomination have just been thrown down hard by a letter from the ex-president himself. "At no time since the close of my last administration" he says, have been desirous of carrying the democratic banner for the fourth time in presi- dential contest" Thomas Taggart, the Indiana member of the national demo- cratic committee, said i'll an interview on Saturday that the talk of MT Cleve- lands candidacy for third term is the sheerest folly. MT Taggart said he could not be nominated and If nom- mated could not be elected, ''The rank and file of the party are not for Cleve- land," said he, 'and his nomination could not be forced upon the party. But even if his nomination could be brought about he could not be elected, for he couldn't poll the full vote of the party in the states it must carry to elect president. I don't regard his nomination or his election IS among future political possibilities"

Considerations of moment not con- fined to Porto Rico" have caused the administration to let up on the prosecu- tion of officers down there who are ac- cused of: smuggling, says a Washington correspondent. The American district attorney already had a lot of the na- tiyes of Porto Rico in the penitentiary for the same offense, and was proceed ing against the American officers when he stopped by the above telegram from the attorney-general. Does that mean that the same condition exists in the Philippines and the airing of the Porto Rican matter would precipitate the prosecution of men in the Philippines?

Female Students Tramp and Camp.

WESTCHESTER, N. r., May 12.- Fourteen attractive girls arrayed in golf costumes and, with knapsacks on their backs tramped through Westches- ter on their return to q seminary in Connecticut. In charge of determined chaperon, they did not walk with the constrained gait of a Fifth avenue boarding school on parade, but proceed ed with the easy swing of professional pedestrians. AS they went through the shaded country roads they often sang. At night they pitch tents, which they carry, and, rolled up in blankets, sleep with their feet to the fire. They are botanists and ornithologists, students of all the natural 'ologies,'' and the collections which they make are to en- rich the museum of their school. A mere man who saw them near White Plains endeawored to find out who the trampers were, but he was unable to elicit any information Several of the girls schools in the Nutmeg State send cut such parties in the spring.
