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. THE GERMAN SPECIALIST From Portland, Will Ba at the Umatilla ilo'ise December 1, 2, 3, 1908. 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. If you have a Chronic Catarrh, con sultation ib free o I cbarge.

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!
