immigration from Italy and Austro-
Hungary.
boston Transcript

lboSlOn transcript
Senator Dillingham; and his immigration
commissioners are having a good time
abroad and manifestly are being received
in a helpful spirit by the European gov
ernments, Neither Italy nor Austro- Hun
gary has that resentful attitude toward
emigration to America which long char
acterized the imperial government of Ger
many. The reason for this difference is
that the emigration itself is different
Most of the Germans who came to the
United States came to stay here; they
were not birds Of passage. Their expatri-
alton was in most cases deliberate and
permanent. But this is not so with the
Italians, the Hungarians and our other
newcomers from southern France. A
great many of them come here only to
stay long enough to save money a few
hundred or at most a few thousand dol
lars, and having done this they go back
with their money to their native land.
Thus Italy and Austro- Hungary are draw
ing a large revenue from America, and
their people are returning, not only with
new ideas and with improved economic
efficiency, but also with considerable sums
of ready capital which are being devoted
to the expansion of native industries.
Italy and Austro- Hungary, therefore, can
well afford TO be cordial to the American
immigration commissioners. 1t is in the
interests OF Europe, as II is in our inter-
est, TO have the tide of immigration prop
erly regulated, so that the really thrifty
and honest toiers who come here to stay
a few years or many years will not have
their race discredited by association with
deported criminals and paupers.

The NOrthheId Conferences.

This years conference season at
Mortified is proving even more success
ful in point OF numbers than in any
previous year, and in no other year
have addresses been given by speakers
OF more distinguished reputation. An
unusually large attendance was reported
al the session OF the Young Women's
conference held last Saturday, when DR..
F. b. Meyer, the famous English author
and preacher, and Robert E Speer.
secretary Of the Presbyterian board OF
missions, gave the addresses. There is.
as always, a proper commingling with
the more serious work of the conference
of camp life and athletics and social
events which attract the young folk and
give zest TO all the proceedings The
outlook is that the ample Northheld ac-
commodations will be put to a greater
test than ever before during the August
conference. The management is already
looking ahead to see what provisions
must be made in future years should
this increase in interest and attendance
continue.

viii Let Tariff Alone.

United States Senator Hopkins of Il
linois and II. f. Miles. a Wisconsin manu-
facturer and member OF the Tariff Re
form league discussed tariff revision with
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay We'd
nesday. After the interview Senator
Hopkins said the tariff would be let alone
until afte~ the presidential election
1t would be suicidal to the Republican
party" the senator added. ito undertake
revision Of the tarfff during the next
Congress. After the presidential election
l believe IL will be the duty of the Repub-
lican party TO revise the tariff, and that
IL will be done"
Mr.. Hopkins said he believed such an
argument would appeal to and be ac-
cepted by Republican revisionists in all
parts of the country.

Of all correspondence and preliminary
treaty negotiations with the oriental GOV

he referred TO this new bureau will be

country and Japan in drafting a new

Double Taxation Discoveries.
Montpelier Journal.l

The commission on double taxation is
discovering what a good many students
of state conditions have suspected for a
long time, viz, that half the taxation
troubles Of the state arise from the acts
of the listers In two towns already eX-
amined, a large and a small town, the
commission found just one list made out
accordin to law. They also find il
practically impossible to secure anything
even approXimating intelligent informa-
tion from the average town clerk. These
two facts are mere details in the prob
lem, but indicate the enormous scope OF
the subject and the difficulties that con-
front the commission. 1t is probably true
that nothing in the way of a practical
recommendation can be arrived at by the
commission this fall. 1t is also true that
about half the injustice and inequality OF
the taxation system might be removed by
listers that knew their business and ap-
praised property according to their oaths

Government statistics for the year ia0i.
recently published. again call attention to
the enormous growth Of the American tin
plate industry since it was put under the
protective tarif by the Mckinley act
less than i years ago. In 1890 the
American market was practically supplied
wholly hy imports. In the meantime not
only has our consumption nearly doubled
but the production Of American tin plate
has grown from practically nothing to
about l033, 900 pounds. Of which l6l. e.
10000 pounds were exported

Maple Sugar Labels.

The authorities in Washington have
ruled under the pure food law, that the
terms "maple sugar" and maple syrup"
may only be used on the labels Of sugars
or syrups when the maple product is the
principal ingredient in such goods. A
cane syrup containing only enough OF
maple syrup or maple sugar to give a
maple flavor is properly labelled as
"cane syrup, maple flavor" or "cane
syrup favored with maple"

One branch Of the appellate division Of
the New York supreme court having de-
cided that William r. Hearst is enti-
tied to recount Of the mayoralty vote
in New York city under the law passed by
the legislature and another branch having
decided the law unconstitutional. the
whole question will go to the court Of
appeals for final decision. This precludes
the possibility Of a recount until fall.

Teachers Salaries.

1t becomes more evident as the years
go by and school directors struggle with
the problem of securing teachers, that
Vermont can never succeed in getting and
holding first-class instructors for especi-
ally responsible positions at salaries lower
than those paid by other states which are
willing to measure up the salary to the
efficiency OF the teacher.

mas reached one interesting conclusion
in the adoption Of the principle that a
declaration Of war should precede the
opening Of hostilites. The proposition
was introduced by France, and was plain

Japan at the opening Of the war with
Russia

SUNDAYS THUNDER STORM.
negro House Struck by lightning and
Two Boys Killed.

Last Sunday afternoon a
thunder storm of unusual sever
ity came up and amid the down
pour of rain the lurid lightning's
lash, punctuated by the crash OF
thunder, showed nature in her
sublime passion. The rain fell
in torrents and as the canal
across the railroad is not clean
ed out, the inundation, increas
ed by daily showers, has caused
quite a number of pools, ponds
and lakes to be formed in vari-
Gus parts of the town. Several
trees were struck, we learn, but
no serious damage was done in
the immediate vicinity of King
tree.
The thunder storm had quite
an extended area and we hear
that its effects we're most disas-
ferrous. The most serious case
is that of Peter Pendergrass, a
colored man who lives about
four miles east of Kingstree.
When the storm came up Pc
ter's two boys, Henry and Will
liam, aged respectively nine
and four years, were in front of
the fireplace, the dwelling be-
ing a four-room frame building
with a clay chimney, when the
chimney was struck. One child,
Henry, the elder,was killed out
right, while the younger, Will
liam was so badly shocked that
be died the next day. The 9TH
er members of the family were
in the room some distance from
the chimney, and Several of
them were severely shocked.
The boy Henry was instantly
killed and his brother, William,
died one day later, the funerals
of the two brothers being but
one day apart.
