ITALIANS HEAD THE LIST.
Colonel Farrell, an official of the
immigration bureau iu New York,
has mde a close study of tha im
migration question in all its phases,
not only because it is his business
but for the reason that ho is a
humanitarian. In speaking of the
immigration to a New York Press
reporter, he said: "The immigra
tion of this year will be greatly in
excess of 1891, when 445,290 aliens
were landed in this port. From
present indications it is safe to sur
mise that 500,000 passengers will
be received this year, notwith
standing that a most careful exam
ination is made of every passenger
before landing. A feature of im
migration is the extraordinary di
versity of the characteristics of
those coming to these shores.
This year almost every section aud
every religion of the habitable
globe is represented, bringing with
them the habits and customs of
their native homes.
'I have been looking into the
amount of money brought here by
all classes of immigrants, and I
lind that the average per capita of
the Italians over 20 years of age is
$0)3.51. Hungarians are the next
on the list, the per capita being
$95.91. The Pole's per capita is
$11.70; Finlander's, $12.23; Irish,
$16.52; Australian's, $18.05; Aus
trian's, $18.06, Norwegian's, $19.28;
Swede's, $22.32; Bohemian's,
$16.02; Turk's, $26.04; Nederland
er's, $26.67; Russian's, $28.38;
English, $28.60; Scotch, $28.98;
Dane's, $29.23; Belgian's, $30.44;
Armenian's,. $32.01; German's,
$35.46; Swiss', $37.78; Welsh,
$40.91; Greek's, $44.06; Spaniard's
$76.21, and French, $78.23. The
per capita of other countries is
$33.45. The general impression is
that all immigrants who come to
the United States are very poor,
yet some of those who seek Amer
ican shores carry 'wads' which
would make the mouths of many
Wall street brokers water at sight. I
remember one instance where an
old man, dressed so poorly that it
was being considered whether he
ought to be barred or not, on being
asked how much money he had,took
an old leather pocket-book from
underneath his tattered shirt and
showed a roll of $5000 iu cash.
Besides the ready money, he had
drafts for twice as much more."
Tr annually costs the United
States $140,000,000 for the main
tenance of its common schools.
More than 30 per cent, of . the pu
pils are absent on every schoolday
of the year,and of these the larger
proportiofv is composed of farmers'
children, whose absence is due to
the impassable condition of the
country roads. Again, it may 'be
e isily computed that if the 16,000,
000 farm horses and mules above
fc'ie age of two years are kept in
their stables m- a condition of en
forced idleness, by the deep mud
of spring, and fair for a period aver
aging twenty days each year, the
annual loss will amount to $S0,
000,000, a sum sufficient to build
16,000 miles of excellent Telford
or macadam highway. The En
gineering Magazine for June cites
a communication- from a farmer in
Union county N. J., who owned
123 acres which he had valued a
few years ago at from $50 to $75 an
acre, but was unable to sell at that
price. The farm was unprofitable
because bad roads made it expen
sive to- get its produce to market,
and the profits did not represent a
fait rate of interest on the esti
mated value of the land. The road
improvement craze struck Union
county, and about sixty miles of
good Telford highways were put
down, and tlie result to this New
Jersey farmer was that he has
since refused $200 an acre for his
farm.
The next election in this country
will be in Arkansas on the first
Monday in September, when a
governor, two state officers and a
general assembly will be chosen.
FRA CTIO XA L VO TES.
The appearance of fractional, votes
in national conventions is by no
means a new thing. There were
iu the Minneapolis convention a
number of contested delegation?,
especially from the southern s ates.
In many instances each delegation
had been chosen more or less reg
ulaily by the state committee or a
fraction of the state committee.
It was plainly impossible for the
c invention to waste the time of all
the other members by discussing
the question of the selection ol
this man or that from some small
district, as in Alabama or Louis
iana, and in these cases the plan was
adopted to admit both the delega
tions, allowing the members half a
vote apiece. This year, also, iu
the case of the territories of Ari
zona and New Mexico, which had
been admitted by a bill which had
passed the house but not the sen
ate, the delegations were admitted
with fractional votes. That from
New Mexico, for instance, having
six delegates, was taken in, allow
ing the six delegates two votes, or
one-third of a vote apiece. This
plan of admitting contested dele
gations with fractional votes has
b.'en adopted in national conven
tions for some time, and the terri
torial delegations from Dakota
were admitted into the republican
convention in 18S8 with partial
votes.
Says an Iowa exchange, ''It is
a well known fact that a large
per cent, of the crimes commit
ted come directly or indirectly
through drink. The true purpose
of punishment for crime is to re
form the criminal. The Keeley
and similar cures for drunkenness
certainly do reform the persons
taking the treatment, so far as
drink, the root of the evil, is con
cerned. Then why not make a
course of the bi-chloride of gold
treatment a part of the programme
for each prisoner confined in our
jails and penitentiaries who finds
himself there through drink or who
is a habital drinker? Let a volun
tary taking of the treatment
shorten the prisoner's sentence if
necessary but have him take it
any way. Why is not such a plan
perfectly practicable, and would
it not be productive of much good?
The newspapers are seeking a
new word name for the people's
party. "Populist" has been men
tioned, but does not seem to meet
with favor, The Toledo Blade
suggests that be called "Adullam
ites. It will be recalled by those
familiar with the old Testament
that when David escaped from
Saul, andtook refuge in the cave
of Adullam, that "every one that
was in distress, and every one
that was iu debt, and every one
that was discontented, gathered
themselves unto him." The Adul-
lamites of old were made up of
similar elements to that which to
day forms the make-up of the peo
ple's party. Why not, then, call
that party the "Adullamites? - "Do
we hear any reason?
The Chilean Times states that
since Chile came into possession
of Tarapaca in 1880; she received
up to the close of 1889 the enor
mous sum of $110,127,783 iu
duties on nitrate and . iodine
With all this income, however, the
Chilean government has never sue
ceeded in redeeming its paper
money.
Of all the nominations sent by
the president to the senate during
the last session, not a single one
was rejected an unprecedented
record on which both president
and senate must be congratulated
the president on his wisdom in
making such good nominations,
and the senate on promptly recog
nizing their goodness.
The total registration in New
York city in 188S was 286,547,
which was an increase of 45,000
over that of 1880. The gain in
1884 over 1880 . was 24,000. At
the same ratio of increase the total
registry this year should be 371,
000, which would give a total vote
this year of 350,000,

BLAISE IN THE FIOHT.
James G. Blaine announces hi
purpose of entering the presiden
tial campaign as the champion ol
the republican policy. While his
friends and their name is legion
know that he never, in all the
years he has been in political life,
has sulked in his tent, yet there
were fears that the sad bereave
ment he recently suffered in the
awfully sudden death of his son,
Emmons, might keep him iu se
elusion. Mr. Blaine has solved
these doubts happily by his an
nouncement of his purpose to take
an active part in the canvass. No
living man can rally the repub
licans of the nation as one man as
can James G. Blaine. It is augury
of victory that his white plume will
be the gonfalon of the embattled
hosts of republicanism in the
mighty struggle for the mainten
ance of the industrial indepen
dence of the nation, menaced by
the bourbon democracy, which
basely truckles to British interests,
and challenges, as Senator Vest
once said, "the protected indus
tries of the United States to a war
of extermination." Toledo Blade.
In the hurry-and confusion of
of the last hour of congress, the
telegraphic reports conveyed the
erroneous impression that the com
promise world's fair appropriation
bill finally adopted made a direct
appropriation from the treasury ol
$2,500,000, without tha souvenir
half-dollar device. The souvenir
scheme is retained and Sunday
closing is also made a condition
of the appropriation. Where the
bill differs from the one which orig-
inlly passed the senate is in cutting
down the sum one-halt and making
a clear gift of the money to the fair
stockholders. The senate bill pro
vided that the United States should
share in the net proceeds of the ex
position in proportion to its invest
ment of the $5,000,000. It is dif
ficult to understand what was
gained by making the appropria
tion a clear gift, though it is not
likely that anything was lost.
Such enterprises as this never have
any net proceeds.
The R. XL Dunn & Co's report in
summing up the situation, does not
give many crumbs of comfort to
the opposers of the McKinley tariff i
law in its operaions. It says: A
fiscal year never matched in the
history of the country in volume of
industrial production, in magni
tude of domestic exchanges or in
foreign trade, the one just closed.
Railroad earnings have been the
largest in any year thus far, atd
clearings in June the largest ever;
known in that month, exceeding
last year 8 per cent., and for the
whole year the largest ever known
outside of New York. Failures
for the half year have been 5504,1
against 6075 in 1891, and liabilities
$62,000,000, against $92,000,000;
on the whole about the smallest for
five years. In spite of low prices
additional works are going into op
eration, even in the iron manufact
ure. The Atlanta Constitution is au
thority for the assertion that a farm
ers' alliance orator in that state,
speaking of what the third party
will do when it gets into power,
said: "The time is coming when a
poor man can stick a postage
stamp on a mule's tail and ship
him fro'iii Georgia to Texas."
The world has found that there
is a big pecuniary profit in exposi
tions, and all civilized countries
are taking advantage of every op
portunity t o hold one. Columbian
expositions, for example, are to be
held in Italy, Spain, Brazil and
the United States, and every one
of them will probably pay well.

crop of California this year will be 1

BURIED ALIVE
In Paris, they estimate every
thing. For the last ten years, the
average of those who were buried
alive, known to have been so, will
amount to about forty per annum.
That is, four hundred persons were
buried alive and in some cases,
perhaps murdered. These are
only the number found out. How
many went that way and no one
knows. A Spaniard employed in
an undertaking shop used to drive
a stilleto through the heart every
time before burial- a mercy. It
is a common practice to disjoint the
knees and elbows if the box is too
small. The utter recklessness
and haste with which a helpless
body that looks like death, is done
for, deserves the utmost repro
bation. There ought to be some law
that no body, unless from some in
fectious disease, should be buried
until decomposition has set in,
and still less should the poisonous
embalming fluid or the autopsy
knife be used. It is horrible and
yet it is far more frequent than
dreamt of. There are many con
ditions that ape death, some so
disguised that the best physician
couldn't tell.
Science is moving in this line
and the thread is so fine that hu
man eye can't always see it, even
with a microscope. Somebody
wants to invent a coffin that will
announce the fact if the tenant
wakes up "all unbeknownst to him
self." Welcome.
Shirked again! The two thirds
democratic house was afraid even
to consider the report of Col. Oates,
of Alabama, on. the Homestead
strike. The report had '-too much
dynamite" for the strikers in it.
So they shoved it over until
after election. Ex.
An exchange says, '-Again the
democratic press has sat down on
a tack. The fact that Col. Streator,
who hung Private lams up by the
thumbs, is a good democrat, pulls
the stinger out of the attempted
political capital they would make
of the incident."
The democrats took up the cry
that the Homestead strike was
the result of protection. They are
now wishing that someone would
help them let loose of the subject.
It didn't pan out right.
Two of our formidable cruisers

SHEEP SCAB.
Tha Rig: id Lswi That Have Destroyed
It In Australia.
. By. latest reports there is not a dis
eased sheep'to be found in the vast pro
vinces of Victoria or New South Wales,
thanks to stringent and strictly enforced
laws. As soon as it was settled that
Australia was adapted to sheep raising
and the growth of the finest wool in the
world, those engaged in the business set
themselves to work . to fix rules and
regulations by which they should be
governed and protected in their indus
try. Laws for eradicating "scab" were
secured without difficulty.
The prevailing public sentiment that
demanded and secured the passage of
these stringent laws stood behind the
officers charged with their enforcement
and compelled them to perform their
duty. Infected flocks not promptly iso
lated and treated by their owners were
taken possession of by officials, appraised
and slaughtered, and their carcasses
piled np and burned, together with the
buildings and fences with which they
had been in contact. In such instances
three-fourths of the estimated value of
the stock was made good to the owner
from the public treasury. To meet this
expenditure a tax was laid against each
flock owner according to the number of
sheep he possessed. This rigorous pol
icy had the desired effect.
In a few years scab disappeared and
the success of sheep husbandry was as
sured. These measures were supple
mented by stringent laws against the
introduction of sheep from foreign coun
tries; even those transferred from one
colony to another were subjected to
quarantine and were dipped before be
ing released; indeed, all had and still
have to undergo a rigorous quarantine
for six weeks previous to their removal.
Under the inspector all sheep have to
be dipped whether infected or not; by
this means the disease is kept perfectly
under control.
Why have we no such laws in Ameri
ca? If there are, what is the use of them
if they are never enforced? Examine
our sheep pens in connection with our
great stock yards; they actually reek
with the disease, the miserable sheep
disseminating scab wherever they go,
yet there is no hand to stay its ravages.
Shearing only takes place once a year
in Australia, and immediately after
shearing every sheep is required by law
to be dipped in a solution of tobacco and
sulphur. The proportions are one pound
of each to four gallons of water.
The sheep inspectors see that all own
ers obey this law strictly, and if they
find that through neglect the sheep of
any owner are becoming diseased thej
may by law have them cared for and
charged to the owner. In addition to
the above the law provides that if the
sheep of one owner, being diseased, get
among and disease those of another the
former is liable to damages. As might
be expected under the influence of such
sanitary and police laws sheep husbandry
is placed upon a safe, permanent and
profitable basis. William Watson in
Breeder s Gazette.
Duroc-Jersey Swine.
'The growing popularity of the red
hog had its origin and was brought
about by the intelligent effort of Wil
liam Holmes & Son, who had become
firmly convinced of the superiority of
the breed and established a registry as
sociation for it. Mr. Harris Haviland
made his first purchase of them about
ten years ago, and after repeated trials
of other breeds still prefers them, be
cause "they combine more good quali
ties requisite for profitable pig raising
than any other breed.
"To what do you refer?" said I.
"They are unusually prolific, averaging
from ten to eighteen to a litter," said he,
"So many are a nuisance, for you have
to feed some of the pigs or they will
die," I replied.
"No, for if the mother is fed milk
producing food she will take care of
them until tbey are big enough to eat
out of the trough, for their most note
worthy characteristic is their ability to
convert food into flesh. They fatten at
any age and are easily kept clean, not
being inclined to scurvy.
Mr. Haviland has dressed pigs that
weighed 340 pounds at 9 months, and 2-year-old
hogs weighing from 500 to 656
pounds each. The Michigan Experiment

Somebody has discovered, or thinks
he has discovered, that eggs laid in the
spring and early summer are superior
in quality to those laid late in summer,
during hot weather.
More sheep die before they are a yeai
old than at any other time during the
period of sheep existence. This means
that lambs should be well taken care of.
Many of the best draft horses in the
country are reared in Ohio and Penn
sylvania. All the law in the country, if it re
quires so much, ought to be enlisted in
the work of ridding the northwest of
the scoundrelly and desperate horse and
cattle thieves that infest some of the
states. Not far from Spokane lately
three horses were found dead, tied fast
and helpless. Two were tied to a tree,
the third was tied to the tail of one of
the others. They had been stolen, the
thieves had meantime been captured
and the helpless dumb brutes had re
mained tied there, saddled and bridled,
till they had starved to death.
