Immigration Commissioner Sargent
reports that the quality of the immi-
grants is rapidly falling, and that we
are getting an increased number every
month from the undesirable popula-
tions of southern Italy, Greece and the
Danubian Principalities. The number
of Jews and Slavs from Russia, Poland
Bohemia and Hungary is also increas-
ing. This is due TO the efforts of the
runners for the passenger lines, who
are securing those countries to find

PROSPERITY IN THE PHILIPPINES.


The annual report of the Philippine |
Commission for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1905, is an unusually interest |
ing document 1t bears the impress of
absolute truth, and makes no apparent
attempt at whitewashing or presenting
conditions other than they are actually.
The report begins by a description of
the profound peace which has existed
and which is absolutely unprecedented
in the history of the Archipelago. New
er have the people been SO undisturbed
by the depredations of the criminal ele-
ment and never, consequently, have
they had as much freedom in prosecute
ing their industries and improving their
condition. The Ladrones, the profess
sional banditti. who have always been
preying upon the people. have been, it
seems. effectually obliterated. Ladron-
ism was something handed down in un-
broken succession from the days Of the
old Malay pirates. and father and son
made their life occupations stealing and
brigandage. 1t was hard work break
ing up the habits of centuries, but this
has been accomplished. No leader of
a Ladrone band is now known to be at
large in the Islands. Many of them
have been killed, and IL Of the most
desperate and enterprising were so
bounded by the constabulary that they
surrendered. They have since been
tried by Filipino Judges. found guilty
of numbers of the most shocking muir
ders and all but one sentenced to
death. The one exception goes to prison
ior life.
The Islands received a severe blow
in the great typhoon of the early part
of the year, which damaged the to-
bacco, sugar and hemp crops to the
extent of $4,000,O00. There were also
severe Affections in the 1ocusts and the
cattle pest. The Island Treasury is in
such good condition that the usual tax
can be remitted, which will be of great
assistance to the farmers. They are
showing most cheering signs Of recov-
ering from their troubles, and the pros
pect of the hemp, maguey. cocOanut.

Islands The Commission favors the
establishment of an agricultural bank
on the plan of that established in Egypt
by the English, which will help the
farmers by loaning them money at low
rates of interest to enable them to buy
draft animals and seed and carry on
their operations. Some 100000 acres
of the friar lands are now in the pos
session Of their tenants, who pay rent
to the Government until they can make
enough to buy the lands. The balance
of trade has been strongly in favor of
the Islands, large part of which was
due to the immense crop of cocoanuts
which brought good price. The Com
mission thinks very positively that there
is splendid field in the Islands for the
investment of American capital, and
young Americans cannot do better than
to cast their lot there and devote them
selves to developing the wonderful re-
sources of the country. The Commis-
sion makes strong plea for the re-
vision of the tariff so as to provide a
market in the United States for Philip
pine sugar, tobacco and Manila hemp.

Every number OF the religious pape,

Every number OF the religious papers
contains obituaries of members of their
denominations in which the dead are
spoken of as brave, faith
full soldiers during the war and con-
sistent Christians all their lives. Yet
some Of these same papers will have
editorials denounclng the pension sys-
tenn, and rejecting on the G. A. R. for
and other vices. The
things do not consist. Probably every
Post in the Order is under the control
of men who are exemplary members of
some church.

Kentucky IL is graphing with the
vagrant question by reviving the opera
ton of an old law which allows noted
vagrants to be sold to whoever will
give them board for their labor. So far
the process has not been attended with
brilliant success. At Elizabethtown a
noted vagrant known as "Docls" Au-
bury was sold for nine months to ]. j.
johnson, a blacksmith. for 81. john
son already rues his bargain and wants
somebody to take the vagrant off his
hands. His only hope is that Dock" Is
so lazy that some day he will refuse to
draw his breath and die. At present
he threatens to eat his purchaser out
of house and home. He will go to
sleep standing by the anvil with a
hammer in hand. This is inconvenient,
as he Is liable to drop into slumber at
critical point in some operation, such
as putting a tire on wheel. He was
tried husking corn. but Is minutes
consecutive labor is as much as he will
endure before he goes to sleen.

The current report is that President
Roosevelt is much disappointed with
the reception of Taft's boom for the
Presidency, and is looking around for

the echoes from Porto Rico TO the Phil
ippines. and the genial caImness with
which it was greeted was not at all to
his fervid mind.

Gov. Folk, at the instance of officers

to secure an appropriation from the

amount to be asked has not been de-

fight against it, which they had at first
announced. Probably the other rail-
