MANY INDEsIRARLE IMMIGRANTS

The number of immigrants reaching
this country during the year ending
June 30, will go beyond the million
mark The largest number arriving IN
any. previous year was 7SS,992. That
was in 1882.
Thinking men who have the welfare
of the country at heart are becoming
uneasy at this steadily increasing vol
ume of immigration. And yet it is diff
hcult to get Congress to make the i'm
migration laws sufficiently strict to shut
out all undesirable immigrants.
The present Commissioner General
of immigration is Frank p. Sargent,
who was appointed by the President
with the understanding that he SHOULD
make a study of the immigration ques-
ton with the view of furnishing data
upon which to urge additional immi-
grafton legislation.
In an interview a day or two ago he
said: "The time has come to stop this
undesirable immigration. If Congress
does not provide stricter regulations
and restrictions the future holds great
danger for our country. The great ma
jority of the immigrants coming now
are not in sympathy with our institu-
tons and will not help build up the
country. A large percentage of them
are illiterates. If the law permitted the
shutting out of illiterates one-fourth of
those who came last year would have
! been denied admission"
Congress ought to take hold of this
| matter and deal with it as common
sense dictates. There are enough iliit-
crates in the country now; it is impos-
sible to see what benefit the tens of
thousands who are coming will be.
| It is said that the steamship COM
panies are largely responsible for the
| great number of immigrants this year.
| They had the report spread in Italy
and in other sections of Europe that
a regulation against illiterates would
be added to the laws by Congress next
winter, and that they would then be
shut out of the country. The steamship
companies care little about the coun-
try's welfare. Their purpose is to
make money. The country ought
TO take hold of this matter and i'm
press upon Congress that it doesn't
desire any more undesirable immi-
| grants.

The bar and city of Savannah ex-
tended a cordial welcome to Justice
Alton B. Parker of New York, the dis
tinguished jurist who addressed the
Georgia Bar Association at Tallulah
Falls last week, and who with his wife
spent the day here yesterday. Justice
Parker's stay was too short 10 do more
then give him an idea of the beauties
of Savannah and the hospitality of her
people. yet it is safe to say that he
win remember the incident of his visit
here as being pleasant. II is TO be hoped
that the impression made on the dis
tinguished guest was as agreeable as
that made by him upon his entertain
ers. In manner of speech and bearing
he is the ideal judge, calm, judicious
and just.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Cincinnati Inquirer (Dem.) says
Anyhow, the Georgia. Democrats made
1t very pleasant for Judge Parker, and
more than limited that he was the man
for President. How much of this will
count in a national convention is an
other question:
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem) says
Considering the meek and lowly man
ner in which Gov. Cumming submitted
to having his tariff plank splintered
over his head the Republican managers
may indulge in justifiable hopes of
saving off the vice presidential nomf-
nation onto him. He will evidently
stand anything"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
(Dem.) says; wisconsin Democrats
are bringing out ex-senator William F.
Villas as promising candidate for the
party's Presidential nomination, and
the fact that he is being favored by
several OF the Bryan newspaper organs
in the state is accounted most encour-
aging for the development of a sizable
Villas boom. Yet few men were more
closely identified with the Cleveland
faction during the past two presiden-
tial campaigns than Mr.. Villas.
The Philadelphia Record Dem
says; 1T is reported that Secretary
Hay fatty declared that if a petition
should be presented to him by a for
eign ambassador having reference to
negro lynchings or any other matter of
purely domestic concern he would re-
fuse to receive the same. If the report
be true the breach betNveeY, the EraSi
dent and his chief Cabinet officer would
be too wide for repair. Mr. Roosevelt's
insistence upon the transmission
through Official channels of the petit
ton to the Car relating to the outrage
at Kishineff seems likely to bring about
what would be. called a ministerial cri-
sis in Europe"

1t is worthy of note and comparison
that lynchings and conflicts between
the races are comparatively unknown
in the larger cities of the South. In
almost every instance the Southern
lynchings of colored persons during the
past ten or fifteen years have been in
small villages or country districts,
where police protection is either nil or
inadequate at best. But it is not so in
the North. Evansville, Ind, is a city
of upwards of $4,000 population. and
Wilmington, Del, is larger. In the
former on Sunday night last there was
a furious race riot" in the streets be-
cause a mob desired to lynch a negro.
That there was no lynching was due
solely to the fact that the mob couldn't
find its proposed victim, and not to
any high respect for the law or siren
uous opposition on the part of the po-
lice. At Wilmington, it will be recall
ed, there was a lynching by means of
fire. We do not call attention to these
matters for the purpose of pointing the
finger of scorn at the Northern cities,
but to make the point that negroes are
better protected in the cities of the
South than they are in the cities of
the North. 1t is quite a common thing
to hear of mObs chasing and beating
negroes in the streets of New York,
Chicago, Pittsburg, etc, but an occur
renee of the kind is extremely rare in
Atlanta, Savannah, Memphis, Bir-
mingham or Charleston.

One of the most literally patronized
resorts" around Wilmington, Del,
last Sunday was the scene of the ere
nation of the negro, George White.
Thousands of visitors went to the
place, and peanut vendors. lemonade
stands and sellers of relies" of the
burning did land office business. An
of the bushes about the spot have been
cut down and carried off in small
pieces as relics, and the ashes of the
pyre have been scraped up and carried
away for the same purpose.

A cable story from London a day or
two ago said that the admiralty would
shortly sell the old frigate President,
then lying in the West India docks,
and that the old ship had been cap.
tured from the United States. The
story proves to be untrue. in so far as
the ships capture is concerned. She
was never an American ship. She was
built in Chatham, England, in 1922 and
has never flown any other than the
British flag. For many years she was
used as a naval training ship.

In commenting on an address deliv-
cred by Mr.. Richard Edmonds of Bal
timore, at the commencement of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute recent
| ly, the New York Sun says;
It may be said, too, that the profess
sional and commercial importance of
the Southerners in New York exceeds
that OF the emigrants from any other
| part of the Union, unless 1t be New
! England. In law, medicine and the
| church our Southern born inhabitants
have won distinction and in business
/ they hold a foremost place. Our in
/ debtedness to the intellectual vigor Of
/ the South is great and obvious; and
/ generally the emigration thence to 9TH
/ er parts of the Union has been re-
nlarkable for the high quality of abil-
ity it brought.
| This is not the first time attention
has been called to the commanding po-
sition taken by Southerners in New
York. They are so conspicuous there
| in the professions and in business that
| their prominence has been the subject
Of newspaper letters and even of COM
ment in the leading clubs. OF course
many SoutheTners have gone to New
the number that has achieved success
, is surprisingly large. They have proved
that they have the qualities that win in
the battle of llfe-the brain power and
the physical endurance-and the ambi-
ton to struggle for the prizes.
There Is no better evidence that they
come of a race that does things than
10 oh &c Of fka
pie since the close of the Civil War.
Less than forty years ago the South
was a ruin. She had to be rebuilt from
the bottom up. She is far richer and
greater than ever before and her prom
Use for the future is far brighter. What
she is, is the result of the efforts of
her own people. Doubtless Northern
capital has been invested IN her in
dustries, but If the facts could be OBJ
tanned it would doubtless be found that
the mills have been built, the mines
opened, the farms brought under Guilt
walton and the railroads constructed
mainly by Southern energy and capi-
tai.
And the fact must not be lost sight
of that the South has received prac-
tically none of the millions of immi-
grants from Europe. The negro has
kept them away. She has no doubt re-
ceived a small addition to her pOpula-
ton from the Northern states, but it
is a question if the North has contrib
uted as many to her population as
she has contributed to the population
of that section.
The South is the only section of the
Union in which the white population
is composed almost wholly of genuine
native Americans. Probably it is be-
cause of this that Southern men are
notable for the display of intellectual
vigor whether they are found in New
York city or in the homes Of their an
cestors. They have always played
conspicuous part in the affairs of the
nation and there is no question but
that they will continue to do so.

The output of the Rand gold mines,
South Africa, for the month just end
compared with something over 400, 900
ounces the month before the Boer war
broke out. This means that the revival
of: mining has not been so rapid as
was predicted would be the case about
the time peace was declared. The prin-
cipal difficulty is in getting labor to
operate the mines. Many expedients
have been tried, but that the labor is
not forthcoming is shown in the fig
ures of output quoted.

Claus Spreckles, the sugar king, has
just made a San Francisco capitalist
pay $6.OO0.0OO for being sassy" The
capitalist is president of gas and
electric company. Smoke from the
companys plant annoyed Mr.. Spreck-
els. and he went to the president and
asked him to abate the nuisance. The
president was extremely curt to Mr..
Spreckels. To avenge himself for the
affront put upon him Spreckels estab-
lished a rival gas and electric plant,
at a cost of $4,O0O,OO0 and began cut
ting rates. Prices were brought down
to one-quarter what they were when
the old company had the monopoly. At
length the man who had been sassy
went TO Mr.. Spreckels and begged for
quarter. Spreckels' terms were to be
bought out at the price of $4,000 600.
which were agreed to.

HARMONY IN TAMMANY.

Judging from the way the letter
Cleveland were cheered at the Tam
many Fourth of July meeting there Is
a strong desire in that organization
that the two wings of the party shall
get together. Mr.. Bryan's letter call
ed forth the most applause, though
Mr.. Cleveland's was given as hearty a
reception as his friends had any rea-
son to expect. 1t will be recalled that
Tammany and Mr.. Cleveland have not
been the best of friends. His Fourth
of July letter was the first communal
cation he had sent to IL in ten years.
1t is probable, however, that the bat
tie will have to be fought to the finish
the battle over the question as to
whether or not the Kansas City plat
form shall be reaffirmed. There does
not seem to be much prospect of its
settlement before the beginning of the
meetings of the state conventions for
the selection of delegates to the Ma
ton Convention. 1t is in the state COM
ventions that Mr.. Bryan intends to
make his fight. He was a little dis
heartened by the action of the Iowa
Democrats, but he is not the man to
admit that he is beaten until the bat
tie is actually lost. No doubt the
question of the reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform will be the lead
ing one in all of the conventions for
the selection of delegates to the Ma
tional Convention. The indications
now are that the reorganizers will
control the National Convention,
though there is very little as yet on
which to base a prediction.

sor of the morals of the community,
with unhappy results. The other day
he sent to the bars and hotels lists
of persons to whom liquor should not
be sold, on the ground that those
named were habitual drunkards and
sots. On the lists were the names of
several persons OF eminent respecta-
bility who have never taken stimu-

are teetotalers. These persons have
taken steps to have the burgess sued
for defamation of character.
