immigration and DISTINCTIONS.

The New York Sun recently pripted
statistics of immigration since 1880
showing both wonderful increase
in immigration from Italy, Austria
Hungary and Russia and decline in
immigration from Germany and Ire
land. The immigration from Russia
consists in large measure of Jews
1t is not surprising that some per-
sons have taken alarm at this large
number of people who are coming TO
our shores from southern Europe,
and the question has arisen whether
the American population will be able
to assimilate the new elements.
One has but to recur to the alarm
which was felt generation ago at
the large immigration at that time
from Germany and Ireland to form
the conclusion til at there is little to
be feared on account of a mixture of
races in consequences of the coming of
many persons from Italy and other
parts of southern Europe.
The children of all these people
will grow up under American sur
roundings and will attend the public
schools. They Will learn English
and it will become their own
language. They will obtain from
their association with American chill

A FEARFUL CHARGE.

Is it possible tSat within the confines
OF this state of Colorado there is a
"Molly Maguire' organization. a
secret. oath bonnd society pledged to
do murder and violence? Can it be
true we are harboring a monster like
this, hideous Malta. pledged and
sworn to anarchy, bloodshed and
crimey
Yet this is the fearful charge
launched by the Business Alliance of
Denver against the Western Fedora
is unreal, it reads like the fantastic
image of nightmare. yet the AL
lance gravely sets forth Its charges in
formal resolution, and in plain une-
quivocal Language.
The subject is one which should be
investigated to the very bottom. The
good name of Colorado is at stake. the
stability of our industries is shaken
to the foundations il the Alliance of
Denver speaks whereof it knows, and
until thu evidence is forthcoming il
may be- well to suspend Judgment.
1t is difficult if not impossible for
the normal mind to imagine that il
this age of enlightenment, society
could exist. large in numbers. for the
express purpose of committing murder
and other forms of violence. Sucl
things existed in the dark ages; there
wns a revival of it in Pennsylvania
forty years ago, but that this hideous
thing has been transplanted to the sol
of Colorado transcends belief.
Such an organization would shake
the very foundations of civilized so.

A VEGETABLE LAMB.
Wonderful Species of Fern in China
Which Is Believed to Destroy
Other Plants.

There is a wonderful species of fern
that grows in China, called the Tar
tartan lamb. Under this name it was
first described by Sir Hans Sloane, who
not unjustly claimed that it much re-
sembled that four-footed bit of gentle
ness. In fact, the plant does illustrate
a most peculiar form of vegetable
growth, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The
underground root is thick and decum-
bent, while the great stem is pushed
horizontally out of the ground by four
inferior branches of this root, which an
swer, of course, to the lambs four legs.
Besides holding the same position as the
body Of the lamb, the stem is covered
densely with a soft and pale, yellowish
wool. Toward the end which would an

is declined as though the creature were

In China there is rather an uncanny
sentiment associated with the T~artarian
lamb, as it is believed to destroy all
other plants within its vicinity.
