DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION. . It will be pleasing to the general public to know that there has been a great falling off in imuri gration during the first six months of this year. As compared with last year the decrease is 05,647; "Tor the total arrivals from January 1, 18S9, to July 1, were 173,678, while for a corresponding period last year the number was 239,325. If the decrease for the next six months be as great as for the past half year, there will have been fewer immigrants to the United States- during 1S89 than during any year for the past ten years. The people of this country will not grieve over this great -decrease, but will hope that what is lost in quantity will be made up in quality, -The immigration for the past fewyears has been an indis eliminate lot of foreigners, good, - band and indifferent, and the little check that Is now shown in the number of arrivals is quite agree able, to say the least. . One cause for this change is the fact that there are less induce ments held out lor foreigners to come to this country than there were a few years aro when there were many great tracts of desirable MU("es land to be taken up. And. be sides, the action ol icongress in passing laws restricting ; immi grants has shown them that the great influx of foreigners is alarm- ing ue people, ana as nearty a welcome as heretofore will not be extended them. Another cause is the extraordinary inducements held out to emigrants by South American countries. Probably thousands of persons have gone south who would otherwise hav come to the United States. Upon the whole, there is little reason for the people of the United States to regret this falling off, and there are but few who would ob ject to as good a showing, if not better, being made lor the next six months as for the past. TWO IS PLENTY. The Denver Republican re marks: "Scarlet fever belongs to the class of preventable diseases, and whenever an epidemic of such a disease develops locally it is a reflection upon the sanitary con dition of the locality. If a city be clean ana in other respects pioper regard be paid to its sanitary con dition, it is not likely than an epi demic of typhoid or scarlei fever will develop there." " Roscoe Conkling once said: "Human nature is the same to the square inch all over the world," and if any one will watch the Oorvajlis post office he will see people come there three and four times a day for letters, who do not receive or write a half dozen in a year. In China one can always borrow money on the strength or. a son but nobody would advance him cent if he had a dozen daughters, The former is responsible for the debt of his father for three genera tions.
