senator Lodge, in January Century:
We are admitting annually an immi-
grant which equals in numbers the pop
ulation OF a great city. wholly unsifted,
in great measure ignorant. in part
Asiatic, and drawn largely from the
lowest and most backward populations
of Europe. This unrestricted immigra-
ton, IL not soon restrained, will before
long affect fundamentally the quality
of citizenship. Owing to the loose
ness of our naturalization laws Ii now
affects most grievousiy our electorate,
pouring In upon us constantly ia our
large cities and towns a mass OF unfit
voters, many OF whom obtain the great
privilege of American citizenship by
fraud, hav no sense of the value OF
that privilege, n become the tools of
the worst and most dangerous political
managers. 1t fills our labor market
with the cheapest and most objection
able labor of eastern Europe and Asia
Minor. If any one will take the trou-
BILE to study the statistics of our pris-
ons, insane asylums and almshouses,
he VIII see by the percentages what an
enormous direct burden 1t places upon
the states and upon the taxpayers.
There are many public questions which
affect the welfare OF the United States,
but there is none which goes so deep
or in which the future is so mucn In
volved as 1t is in his tide of unrestrict-
ed, unsifted foreign immigration.

Machinery


The number OF bfeakages of nipple
ments and farm machinery is out OF
all proportion to what it ought to be.
1t would probably be quite correct to
say that more than three-fourths of
these breakages are the outcome of
carelessness. OF course there are some
instances in which 1t could not be pos
sible to avoid breaking implements. but
by a proper care it can generally be
avoided.
These breakings are the outcome OF
the lack Of application of the mind to
the work that is now being done. The
individual allows himself TO work in a
sort of a mechanical way, and in con-
sequence of this the necessary care is
not observed that would tend TO pre-
vent UGH results. In other words.
work is too often lone through the
mere force Of physical exertion. 1t
would not be incorrect to say that mat
ter works while the mind is asleep, or
while ii is wandering away In other
fields. Good workmen. no matter how
simple the work which they perform,
are careful to keep their mind upon
their work If the individual is hand
ling a shovel, his mind goes along
with every shovelful of earth lifted.
If he is using a hoe his mind goes
with every movement Of the hoe; as
a result the work can be done TO the
best advantage, il the implements in
use are properly used.
The difference between a work han
who keeps his mind thus Upop his
work, and one who hoes ROT is very
great. The former is sure to do work
In a good and proper manner, while
the latter Is just as sure to do 1t in
efficiently. So many look upon it as a
sort of slavery to have the mind thus
trained. 1t is not, however. When
the mind is thus trained 1t works quite
naturally as the result Of this train
Ing.
p The question as to who should stand
The cost of breakages is a perplextng
one. II seems a little hard sometimes
to make the workman bear the en-
tire cost, and yet when the breakages
are the result Of his carelessness it is
certainly not unjust that he should
10 SO. The perplexing question, how
ever, comes in a great many instances,
as to whether these ~breakages are q re-
suit of carelessness? Or more general
iy speaking, how can this be deter
mined by parties who are willing to do
what Is fair? If the implement was
good, and properly made, and was be-
ing used in doing work for which it
vas intended, the breaking of the inn
plement under such circumstances
would be "A pretty sure Indication OF
carelessness. This much Is clear, that
It would not be fair to expect the own
er to make good every implement brok-
IN through carelessness, without regard
TO the value of the implement, or the
inconvenience which In most instances
arises therefrom in arreSting the pro-
gress Of the work that is being done.

Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd'a

&A
Sedgwick, Ark, July 1.-THE case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one Of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
az makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
Dropsy; his feet and limbs we're swol-
len TO such an extent that he could not
walk or put his shoes on. The treat
mant that the doctors were giving him
seemed to do him no good and two or
three people said his days were short,
ever the doctors, two of the best N
the country, told me he would not get
better. | stopped their medicine and
at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills.
! gave him three pills a day, one morn
ing, loon and night for eight days; at
the end of the eighth day the swelling
was all gone, but to give the medicine
justice, l gave him eleven more pills.
/ used t~hirty-tiye pills in all and he
was entirely cured. consider your
medicine saved my child's life. When
the thirty-fiye pills were given him, he
could run, dance and sing, whereas be-
fore he was an invalid in his mothers
arms from morning until night"

RAISING SQUADS FOR MARKET
Demand Has Given Else to Quite an
Important Industry.

Outdoors: Up to a very few years ago
pigeon raising was considered a boys
sport only, but their interesting ways. the
fascination OF breeding them for the show
pen and the demand for squads by hotels
and restaurants prompted q. few men to
take them up as a recreation or a bust
ness. and the success OF these few caused
others to join them until now II has be-
come quite a large industry. We will
first take up .he breeding of pigeons for
SQUAD selling.
There Is only one variety OF pigeon
usad for this purpose--the common varie-
ty. They are worth nothing for the show
pen. but are very prolific, each pair rear
ing eight or nine pairs Of squads a year,
1t takes squads but one month 70 ma.
ture. that is, they are full grown and
ready for market one month from hatch
ing. The old birds have made their sec
ong nest and laid their eggs before the
last young ones are grown. IL takes the
eggs eighteen days to hatch, SO that about
every month and a half there Is a pair OF
squads ready for market from each pair
The principal food for pigeons is wheat,
though a little cracked corn with this is
good for them.
Cleanliness and system mean success
with squads. and though much Is said 10
the contrary they require considerable
care in order to get the very best results.
They do well In nearly any climate.
though a place where the winters are
short and not severe Is the best. The
southern states and California are the
best suited for this industry. and they
contain many farms which make a spe-
cialty, Of SQUAD raising. One farm In Cal
ifornia has nearly 200. 600 old birds.

The good results of the affairs of a

its relations with other nations There
IS, under the present condition of thought
and affairs, an advancement in the
world-7Sa community of nations. The
one among those nations which exhibits
the greatest honesty aud tact and com

be to the fore.
Under the administration of the party
that is N,w controlling the affairs of
tile United States has occurred such cX.
iraordinary diplomatic success as has
perhaps never been eNcclled by any ma
ton at any time. This success has ac-
crned because of the tact and sense of
the present President of the United
States, assisted by his Secretary of
State. The record has been something
extraordinary. and all the civilized world
has recognized it,
Tact and sense are just as much a
requisite in the conduct of the affairs
of nation as they are in the affairs

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talk. of 1t, but Relics on tht
Strength of Tnmrlany.
Judge Parker says this:


Judge Parker says this:
whenever a great question of public
Importance has arisen. il has been pre-
scented and championed through the press
and on the roStrum by the educated
thinkers of the country who, for the
time being, are the real leaders, and
under whose banners the organization
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be overthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
is true and right and sensible. But
what. after the expression of such an
opinion. is Judge PArkers course? 1t is
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the af-
fairs of the country. But what is Judge
Parker doingI Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State Of New York: one of thc States,
the influence Of whose electoral votes is
great in the results of the Presidential
campaign. He relies upon IN un-Amer-
lean combination known as Tammany
Hall. Ii is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
State without the aid of this most cor
rupt organization. in the greatest city
of the cOuntry-an organization that has
simply become an enormous foster upon
the State in which it exists. But it has
been accepted in all eXigencies,. by the
Democratic party which, to the credit Of
that party. is a little above Tamnlnny.
How ridiculous, under the c,rcum-
stances, is the attitude of the more or
less qualified juriSt who lives in ESQ
pus. Think of man who even talks
of the influence of the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success, in the.
State of New York, upon Il conglomera
ton of the most uneducated and vicious
elements ever gathered together in the
making of a political pool in great
city. 1t is hard to say it, but Mr.. Park
err cannot even afford to be respectable
in his explanations. He cannot afford
to talk about educated people or about
educated influence back Of him, or about
all that is good and broad and cult
waited back of MIN because, without
Tammany back of him in his own State,
he has not the shadow of a hope, and
Tammany is the worst force there is
politically discredit to the country.
This is the nub of the thing. This Is
