The astonishing statement made by Mr..
Sargent that 81 per cent of all the immi-
grafton to America comes to the state OF
New York and the bulk remains in
New York city shows up one of the most
slaIing defects in our present immigration
system. Next to having desirable immi-
grants the most important question is
that of scattering them over the country
where they will do the most good, not
only for themselves but FOR l.e states
In which they locate. The plan for es-
tablshing a bureau of information at
Ellis Island is good one bit South
Carolina has better idea. She has sent
a special commissioner abroad to dis
tribute literature and induce immigration
to the state. The soath needs thrifty, in
dustrious immigrants but may we be de-
livered from the other sort!
Following close upon the remarkable
cure reported to be taking place in the
case of President Harper of the Univer-
sity Of Chicago, we are new informed
that the radium treatment Ter cancer has
proven a failure and that he Is rapidly
succumbing to the disease. Or. Har-
per's affliction seems TO be of such an
unusual character that the difficulties of
a cure are rendered trebly great, but 1t
begins to appear that even boosted ra-
dunn will not do all that was hoped for
it in treating one of the most dreaded
diseases in the category of human ills.

The Tiffany diamond robbery, most
remarkable crime, bids fair to remain a
mystery 1t is stated by those in a posi-
ton to know that there are a few ex-
pert diamond cutters who have gone
wrong and it will be possible with the
aid of these men TO SO change the size
and appearance of the stones that detec-
ton will be impossible. Diamonds are
literally "as good gold' and are as
negotiable as bullion. While it would be
almost impossible to dispose of stones
like those stolen, in their original con-
dtion, it appears that all danger will be
removed by having them cut and ground
anew by dishonest workmen. In this case,
the thieves will profit by their daring.
We are reminded once again that there is
nothing like using your brains, especially
in stealing.

One of the most amusing traits Of
southern darkies is their fondness for
big words. AS a rule the densely ignor-
ant negro has no ambition to shine as
an etymologist but give him a smattering
of letters and oftentines the feats he will
perform with the English language arc
both astonishing and ludicrous. The coun-
try preacher who exhorts his dusky flock
on Sundays and follows less spiritual
occupation on week days is most suscep-
tible to this weakness. 1t matters not
what word means. If it is lengthy and
sounds impressive he will haul 1t into
his discourse, regardless of the conse-
quences. One is reminded of the colored
parson who rose in stately dignity before
his congregation and favored them with
this remarkable statement: Brethren
and sistren in de concatenation an stabu-
lation OBJ de New Jerusalaam de sinners
is predicated ter be fabbergasted.''

into the treasury from ordinary
sources during the year, without
ievying bit of tax for general pur-
poses, unless big lot of public i'm
provements are going to be made,
and. judging the next year by the
past, nobody believes any improve
ments are going to be made.
The levy is outrageous because
it is not necessary. If improve
ments are not to be made, take the
extra money and take up batch OF
bonds. Do not leave the treasury
full of idle money, which does no.
body any good, and might prove an
incentive to recklessness by the

OH, WISE SOLONS.

The action of the city council in
making such an outrageous levy
when the city treasury is already
full of money, will need some ex-
planning from that body. First,
we will state that there is some
thing like $2sCo in the general fund,
and that the other funds are in first
class condition. No money is be-
ing spent except for ordinary cur
rent expenses, 80 no really great
amount of money is needed unless
improvements extraordinary are
going to be made. And does any
body believe that improvements
are going to be made? Does any
body believe tina: the weeds are to
be cut or the streets improved,
street crossings put in, or anything
like that?
The levy made Tuesday night
calls for total of 40 mills for city
purposes, including bond interest,
which of course is a necessary levy
and must be made. The library
levy of 8 mills is all right, and so:is
the levy of FIVE mile to cover light
ing bills, because after the light
bills for the year are paid the bal.
ance can be turned into the general
fund. But what the people are 60
ing to kick about is that levy of 10
mills for general and Jail purposes.
With about $500 in the gereral
fund, and only very small current
expenses to meet, and no improve.
ments being made, the taxpayers
are going to ask, why such levy?
Why pile up lot of money in the
city treasury, to be fooled away per-
haps by the next council, If a mis-
take should be made in selecting a
council of good management The
peoples money is safer in their
pockets than in any treasury. Then
why not let 1t remain there until 1t
is needed? We understand the
council contemplates the purchase
of building for Jail and for the
FIRE apparatus. This 10 all right. II
should be done. But If the cost will
not be more than $s75, and that lie
what was stated at the meeting
Tuesday night why levy a tax OF
ten millsr And If only 500 per
year 10 to be spent for street light
ing. why levy a tax which will bring
in over $500. It will be stated that
the light franchise provides for a
levy of FIVE mills. That is true. The
franchise also provides that the un'
expended balance can be covered
into the general fund. That being
the case why not cut the general
fund levy7 There 10 enough money
ia the general fund today to pay
the current expenses for the next
year, counting the money that goes
