The Tide Of Undesirable Immigrants.
immigration statistics for the past
fiscal year, lately made public by
the chief of the immigration bureau,
have caused renewed demands In the
press of the country for prohibitive, or
at least restrictive, legislation, and no
doubt the subject will receive early at
tention in the coming congress.
The note of alarm expressed is not
due to the numbers Of immigrants
S57,046 in the past year-but to the
large proportion of undesirables among
the new arrivals. Ten years ago Italy,
Austria Hungary and Russia sent US
but 1000 immigrants, while $4,000
came from England, Ireland and Ger
many. Last year the Immigration from
Russia, Italy and Austria Hungary
reached total Of 672,oO0, while the
desirable element, composed Of Ger
mans, English and Irish, fell to LOG, 600.
With alien arrivals at our ports in
creasing at the rate Of quarter of a
million year, more than two-thirds
of whom are undesirable additions to
our population, 1t would seem to be
about time to call a halt.

Sooner or later failure comes to the
eommunistic experiments in this coun-
try. Not long ago the Oneida commu-
nifty, after an existence Of over half
century, wound up its affairs and went
out of business. 1t was a hourishing
community in its time, but 1t was
forced more than once to adapt its prac
tees to the ideas Of contemporary So
ciety. In 1879 it introduced marriage
and familyvlife, and in 1880 1t entirely
gave up its community idea and be-
came joint stock company. After
more than twenty years Of corporate
existence 1t found there was no place
for it and wisely quit
Now another community, no less
widely known than the Oneida COM
munity, is about to share the fate of all
such experiments. This is the Shakers
Of Lebanon, N. Y. Nearly century
ago Mother AIMS little family Of
the United Society of Believers In
Christ's Second Appearing" settled in
Lebanon and became the parent society
Of the sect familiarly known as "the
Shakers" They had their peculiar re-
ligious beliefs, but there was nothing
In them that did not tend toward good
citizenship and good character. Though
their dream of Christian communism
may never be realized. 1t was no less a
lofty and noble dream. They held their
property In common. believed idleness
a sin, and every one worked who could
work. The sick and the feeble and the
old were tenderly cared for. The shak-
ers had excellent schools. Their farms
were model farms, and their farm prod
ucts had wide reputation and COM
manded large prices. There was de-
mand for them because people knew
they were honest. From hundreds
their numbers increased to thousands.
For scores of years they prospered.
Then the tide turned. Their numbers

BASEBALL.

BARTON Z. ISLAND PoND
The Cardinals went to Barton last
week Thursday and played the Bartons
in drilling rain. In spite of this it
was snappy game. In the sth inning
the umpire very considerably robbed
the boys of three runs and incidentally
the game by the rankest kind of deci,
sion on a home run drive over right
field, which he called foul. The feature
of the game was the brilliant infield
work of the Cardinals, who also out
batted the home team.
ISLAND POND 4. BEEBE PLAIN l.
Last Saturday the Cardinals lined up
against the Beebe Plain team for the
last game of the season. 1t was the
best game seen here this year. The
home team scored in the first and in
the third and were unable to get any
more. Beebe Plain could not score un-
til the ninth when they scored l run by
good hitting. A fast double play how
ever robbed them of any further chance.
The Cardinals, except in one or two
games have played very good ball this
year and have played some very strong
teams. Lack of patronage has caused
the boys to disband.
Teams representing the Merchants
and G. T. R. played game last Mon
day, which resulted in victory for the
Merchants by a score of 10 to s.

have dwindled down into the hundreds.
Their farms are getting old and IN.
profitable, and their buildings are fall.
ing into decay. They have applied to
the New York legislature for exemption
from taxation upon the ground that
they are church. 1t is doubtful whether
exemption will be granted. Even If IT
should be It is evident that the exist
ence of the community will soon end.
As "it is not good for man to be
alone" so apparently 1t is not good for
communities of men to try to live in
the world and yet apart from It. At
all events, failure seems to be the ulti-
mate fate Of such communities, no mat
ter how altruistic their motives and
aims.

speakers.
Gov. Odell devoted himself to the
character of Clinton and a description
Of the time and conditions in which he
lived. He said in part:
He made the commercial supremacy
Of New York his theme and soon en-
listed men OF like courage in the
struggle for the internal Improvement
of the commonwealth. Behind him stood
progressive citizenship. Opposed were
all those who believed that in his ad-
vocacy of the Erie Canal was a still
greater o~bscurity for his genius. These
men whose minds we're no broader. than
their p~artisanship saw only the bur-
dens which were to be imposed without
reckoning either advantages to be gained
or the ability OF its champion to sue
c~essfully finance this great undertaking.
Our conservative men. however. saw
in the contamination Of this great pro-
ject that the future of our State was
secured and THAT the threatened with
drawal of commerce from our ports
would be prevented"
