ENORMOUS IMMIGRATION.

TN THE first four months Of 1905
4 2ssl52 immigrants have landed
in the United States. nearly $500 for
each day. The record so far greatly
exceeds that Of any other year. But
since the beginning Of May the pro-
portionate number has greatly in
creased ana there is every indication
that we shall add 10 our population
during the year over a million strange
people.
The newcomers are chiefly Italians,
Poles and Russian Hebrews. Imml-
grafton from northern Europe has al
most ceased and there is no more in
fusion from those countries whose
people united to make Americans what
they are.
II the immigration from Southern
Europe continues at the present rate

HUSBANDS, OBLIGATIONS.

A dERICAN courts are noted for their
"A tenderness towards women; perhaps
a is because the lawyers and judges in
most instances have wives and daughters
who out Of court lay down the sort OF
law which although not written in the
books. yet Is more nearly fundamental
than the eopstitution.
II Is with some surprise then, that We
read yesterday that in a local court whlle
woman who had her husband arralgnsd
tor non-support was pouring out her tale
Of woe. a laugh should have been raised
ot her expense.
1t seems that one week the husband had
given her but thirteen dollars, and the
next. only seventeen. True. she testified
that Il was an that he had made. but
that wasn't her fault, II was his business
to go out and get more. and failing 70

how his income could be increased by
such a proceeding We confess Is some

But the point is that mere man" when

comforts and happiness Of wife must
not seek 20 evade the obligation. For him
the eight-hour day should not be enforced.
II he can make but seventeen dollars in
six days Of eight hours each, he should

yet shall we excuse him? OF course II

.ROBELEN'S REPORT TO
WEST CHESTER BURGESS
Court House and Hospital
Found to Have Defective
Drainage

Burgess Pennypacker, of West Chester.
Pa, has received from William G.
Robelen, Of this city detailed report OF
the latter's official inspection Of West
Chester's sewer connections. The Burgess
sent TO each member Of the Borough
Council copy of the report IS hours in
advance of its publication, as a matter
OF courtesy, he says. He transmitted a
duplicate copy to Council as a whole last
evening, together with a message giving
his views Of the matter.
The inspection was made I'm Accord
ance with resolution passed unanimous
" at the last regular meeting OF Council.
which empowered the Burgess TO engage
sanitary expert to make an official
examination or inspection OF West Ches-
ter sewer connections with buildings at
$40 per diem. it being alleged that GER
tain connections We're in violation of the
ordinances of the borough and injurious
to health. A list of buildings and prem-
ises where such connections were alleged
to exist was made up from information
given the Burgess by different parties
from time TO time during the past year.
and which caused the agitation Of this
subject. it being charged that these al
legged improper connections were par
TALLY responsible for our typhoid fever
epidemic last year.
The Burgess had some difficulty in Sc
curing an expert" two or three Phfla-
dclphians having given up the under
taking when they learned Of the exact
nature of the work expected of them.
The Burgess, however visited Whining
ton, and with the assistance of the
Board Of Health secured Mr.. Robelen's s
/ services.
Mr.. Robelen went to West Chester last
week and spent two days there visiting
all the premises Of parties named on the
Burgess list. His report embraces elgh-
teen properties which have defective
drainage, they including the Chester
county prison, Chester county hospital.
convent, court house, four hotels and
other places.
Burgess Pennypacker says he is willing
TO follow out any course authorized by
Council to correct existing evils.

RAILROAD RATES,

A LMOST at the same hour Secre-
L A tary Taft in Washington and
President Roosevelt in Denver were
discussing the problem Of discrimina-
ting railroad rates, and their views are
so nearly alike that we may easily
understand that they have discussed
the problem and found their minds in
harmony
And just now we read that the
Armour Company offered yesterday to
reduce the rates over its lines to the
shippers OF produce in Michigan If
the producers would drop their case
before the Inter-s state Commerce Com
mission. To those who in their de-
tense OF the railroads declare that there
is little abuse IN discriminating rates
The Armour tender comes as "a stag
gering blow, for If it is not confession
It has that appearance.
Secretary Taft takes the ground thet
the people as whole are urgently de-
manding some remedy fq set Of
evils. which even though hey may be
partly imaginary, must be redressed.
He thinks that the railroad powers
would show their wisdom by volun-
tarly making certain concession, rath-
en- than by resistance TO force some
drastic measure.
The position which has been os-
sumed by many officials that the rail-
roads represent private Investments of
capital and that fl is proper 20 con-
duct item Hike other enterprises for
profit, is not tenable. Railroads, street
car lines. telegraph and telephone lines
are quasi-public Institutions. They
are for the public convenience, and
operate under franchises which were
derived from the public.
And the abuses Of their power have
cessation Of competition, the arbitrary
fixing Of rates and discrimination ip
favor OF favored shippers, which are
usually great corporations which are
thus assisted in crushing out compe-
ution.
The President is trying TO find a
remedy, and it is easy TO criticise any
plan he may urge. The states ar'
poweries to apply a remedy, as mos
OF the lines are Interstate. The OBJ
lection TO national Interference might
be convincing We're Il not true that
This is the only quarter from which
relief can come And unless power
is given to some tribunal to remedy
the acknowledged evils we may ex-
pect clamor for Mr.. Bryan's remedy

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

NV local applications as they cannot reach
tbe diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused By an lnfamed condition Of the

When this tube is innamed you have a

when Il is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation

It's a pleasing little favor when a'fel-

She seems 10 know. that mother mine
how lonely a body feels
When almost every face Is strange and
hearts are strange, as well.
To little deeds you used TO know, back

You'm be her boy the time you're there

It's kind. you go enjoy the day, have

But, oh. it's not like having a mother
OF your own.
For mothers cooking has taste that
calls for praise profuse;
Things have a special flavor that no one
can rcprodl -.
Her smile means more than kindesi
words said IN the kindest key,
Her presence makes a place "a home

The heartless world may smile and

Odd Railroad Accident.

There was a queer railroad acci-

stead Of running into something the
train threw something out. The OBJ

The baby was sitting on a table in

train. In rounding a sharp curve
the child was shot out of the win
dow. The distracted mother quick
ly stopped the train. Search being
made along the line, the youngstel
was found little the worse for its ex

EDITORIAL OPINION

lis in trouble" Whether he actually
said it or not the proposition involved
is measurably true. He is man OF
fluent speech, abundant ideas, assert
i've personality and possessed by a
more or less admirable egotism that
preciudes the possibility of his re-
naming out Of the limelight for any
considerable length of time. Like an
other equally strenuous and versatile
compeer he emphasizes his desire for
peace by continually pointing out the
awful consequences In store for those
who would go TO war with him. Add
ed 10 that he sustains toward the for
eign policy OF his country a relation
more intimate and responsible than
that vested in any other European
sovereign except the Car Of Russia
and the Sultan Of Turkey
Therefore when he publicly pro-
claims that there must be no read
justment of the Moroccan situation
without the consent Of Germany It is
quite natural that his remarks should
be taken seriously and resented IN
France which proposes to reform
Morocco off-hand, and in England and
Spain, where the policy Of France is
unequivocally approved and encour-
aged. II he persists in treating inter-
national questions in his customary
dogmatic and minatory vein he need
not be surprised If the enemies OF
Germany. and she has a few, should
occasionally ruhie their plume in an
swer to his challenge. If he were con-
stitutionally able to regulate his trav-
els on the excellent models furnished
by his Uncle Edward his ministers AZ
home might still succeed in maintain
ing the interests Of the empire without
having to expend energy in allaying
the irritation caused by the pubic
declarations OF their master while
abroad.
