AssIMlLArINe THE IMMIGRANT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II is a fair assumption. is II not,
that a great many intelligently patriotic
Americans are entirely opposed 10 unlim-
tied immigration of South European and
other undesirable people. such as have
been admitted here during the last ten
Years? II is also fair to assume that
these patriotic Americans are fully en-
titled as right and proper citizens TO voice
their opposition to the continuance Of i'm
migration which gets two distinctly out
ra geous results. namely, the displacing Of
millions OF American born wage earners
from their legitimate employment. and
the sending out Of this country by for
eign born people of $500. 900 900 or $780,
coo. 900 n year. Besides this, boarding un-
6oubtedly goes on among them, and. num-
tering about six millions. they must ac-
cunulate immense sums of actual cash.
The editorial I'm to-day's Tribune rec-
ommendng that great friendliness be eX-
ercised by Americans toward this kind Of
foreigners. so that they shall the sooner
become thoroughly Americanized, seems to
me wanting. as a proposition, I'm the truly
fundamental consideration which en-
braces desirablity of material-the more
especially so when VIC mind the foregoing
terribly suggestive facts and also the
perfectly well known circums tance that
about 20 per cent Of the six millions of
immigrants noted are utterly wanting in
the racial traits OF right Americans. Thus
they are naturally unequal TO the demands
OF truly intelligent. patriotic citizenship
which should distinguish every one assim-
ilated by this Republic.

FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT.
Kitchen OF House Owned by DIR. &. :.
kingsmore and Occupied by Mr..
sam Dukes Burned.

The kitchen of house owned by
Dr. G. S. Kingsmore and occupied
by Mr.. Sam Dukes was burned Sat-
urday night about o'clock by a fire
the origin of which is unknown. but
which was supposed to be incendiary.
The loss was probably about 5000 or
$500 which the insurance does not
fully cover.
The house is situated on Hampton
avenue next to DIR. Kingsmore's resi-
dence and has no one living in it at
present. The family that has been
living in ii is now in Orangeburg, al
though their furniture is still in the
house. Mr.. Dukes had been in the
house that morning to look over the
furniture to see that everything was
In the house. but no fire had been
started anywhere in 1t. The fire started
In the interior OF the kitchen and
when discovered 1t was too late to
save anything out of it. 1t was only
by hard effort that the firemen were
able to save the rest Of the house.
