THE YEAR'S IMMIGRATION.
With the immigration of the last
fiscal year down to less than 230,000,
and showing a decrease from the
previous year in spite of our prosper
ity, many of the troublesome ques
tions connected with immigration
seem to be in a fair wav to settle
themselves.
That there is still a large number
of undesirable immigrants is shown
ly the statistics of their illiteracy
and poverty. Or those over fourteen
years of a2e 43,057 could neither
read nor. write, and of the whole
number 96,203 had less than $30
apiece.
No European country would per
mit us to send them immigrants of
this description, and no illiterate or
pauper is a desirable addition to our
population. Still, the average stand
ing of our immigrants is steadily im
proving, and as they represent a total
iucrease of less than one third of 1
per cent, to our total of population
they cannot b! considered dangerdus.
Our real troubles are much more
serious; our threatened troubles are
immeasurably greater.
The departure from this city for
Manila of four young women well
prepared by careful training for the
responsible and arduous duties of the
hospital nurse will relieve to some
extent the pressure of anxiety which
has loDg rested heavily upon the
homes from which the brave boys of
the Second Oregon went out last
April. The tardiness of the medical
department in dispatching assistarce
of this character to the Philippines,
in view of the urgent need, is one of
the inexplicable things of the war.
Much that has borne hard upon the
soldiers has been excused on the
ground of lack of experience in mov
ing and subsisting large bodies of
troops, but obedience to the simple
dictates of common sense was all that
was necessary when it came to the
question of providing nurses for the
hospitals. Fever patients can, if
they must, get along without doctors
and potions, but care and nourish
ment they mast have or die. These
young women go out with a benisor.
from a thousand homes, and with the
fervent Godspeed of ten thousand
anxious hearts. Oregonian.
there has been for 26 years. The
number will be 26. In the elections
of 1872 the Democrats got only 20
senators. But that was 20 out of a
senate of 74 members. In the elec
tions of 1874 this representation was
raised to 29. And since then the
Democrats have always had just a
few less or just a few more than the
Republicans. Twenty-two of these
26 senators will be from eleven South
ern states.

From Portland, Will Ba at the Umatilla

It is a fearful story of outrage,
arson and murder that comes from
North Carolina. And yet it is, in
essentials, not so bad as that from
Illinois. In North Carolina lawless
men have banded themselves together
to deprive a local negro majority of
its privileges of citizenship. In Il
linois the governor of the state has
nullified the constitution of the
United States by forbidding colored
miners from Alabama and Indiana to
come into Illinois in search of work,
and has declared that if they come
ho "will shoot them to pieces with
Gatling gun&." No worse example
of race intolerance ever ocsurred
even in the lawless period that fol
lowed reconstruction.

Millions Given Away!
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and Buffering. The proprietors of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Caughs and Colds, have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine ; and haye the satisfaction of
knowing it has absolutely cured thous
ands of hopeless cases. Aethma, Broni
chitis, Hoarseness and diseases of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough

We are told by telegraph that
Camar.i's fleet, which kept out of the
way of American squadrons by dili
gent "homing," is now "rushing" to
meet and greet Emperor William.
But when he sees it and is saluted by
it will he not ask, "Where are all the
rest of the ships that once constituted
Spain's navy ?" What a farce it is
to treat Spain now as n "power," and
what folly for her to hope as the de
spatches say she does for "support"
from the German Emperor! The
end of Spanish power came when
Cerveras fleet was destroyed off
Santiago.

It has been a common report to us that other dealers say that we have nothing but trash, but we will defy
any house in our line in The Dalles to show as good a quality of goods as we carry for the money. Those people
know when they tell you this that they have goods that have been laying on their shelves since the year One, and
prices on them since the 3'ear '49; and when they know it to be a fact that our store the White House Clothing
Store of Portland has only been in existence eight months, and when it is a known fact in the city of Portland
that we carry the choicest line of goods in the market, and undersell all dealers.
