FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
The aggregate European emi
gration to the United States for
the year ending December 31,
1886, does not show any marked
increase or decrease as compared
with 1885.
The continental emigration,
which usually constitutes one-half
of the total, has decreased fully
25 per cent, during 1886, as com
pared with. 1885.
The immediate decline will be
found in the low ocean emigrant
rates which prevailed during the
greater part of 18S5, when the net
emigrant rates between Cierman
and American ports were as low
as $6, and at the same time, the
emigrant rates -from New York to
Chicago were only 1, and to all
points beyond, on the basis of $1
from New York to Chicago.
During 1886, the emigrant ocean
rates from German ports have
ruled on an average of $20, and
the emigrant railroad fares from
New York to Chicago at $13, mak
ing the combined ocean and in
land fares to or from Bremen and
Hamburg to Chicago, fully four
times as high as in 1885.
The low ocean and inland emi
grant rates of 1885 stimulated con
tinental emigration to an extent
which was ohecked when ocean
emigrant rates and American in
land fares were restored to the or
dinary minimum rates.
As a large percentage of emi
grants from the continent are
journeymen, mechanics and labor
ers, who are members of and
affiliate with labor unions and la
bor organizations at home, it is
fair to presume that a large num
ber of these have been induced to
postpone emigration on account
of the strikes and labor troubles
in America; and this cause has,
no doubt, aided materially in the
decline of German emigration.
The arrival of Russian emigrants
has increased from 12,000 in 1884
16,000 in 1885 to 22,000 in
1886.
A large majority of the Russian
emigrants are experienced farmers,
for whom the large cities have no
temptation and whose sole purpose
in emigrating to the United States
is to secure a homestead, and very
naturally they proceed to their
proposed destination in the west.
The English, Irish and Scotch
emigration for 1886 will not vary
materially from 100,000 in round
numbers against 109,000 for 1885
of this England and Ireland
contribute 45 per cent, 'each and
Scotland ten per cent.
There arrived in the United
States during 1882, Scandinavian
emigrants as follews: Swedes,
64,000, Norwegians, 29,000, Danes,
11,000, total, i04,000. Since 1882
this emigration has steadily di
minished until 1885, when the to
tal from the three Scandinavian
countries reached only 40,000.
The past year, however, there was
an inorease of 15,000 over 1885, and
the present outlook is that Scandi
navian emigration will continue to
inorease during 1887, and it would
not be surprising to see the figure
reach 75,000. Whether the in
crease be continued beyond 1887,
depends entirely on times in the
northwest, the destination of the
, largest share of Scandinavian em
igration, as well as the conditions
in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
The great northwest looks to
Scandinavia for a large quota of
foreign emigration.
Pacific Coast Senators.
The east rarely removes the beam
from its eye when it is considering
the affairs of the far west. It pre
tends to view matters from a lofty
elevation of virtue and civilization.
It adopts the same tone towards us,
whioh the English press used to as
sume with reference to the "United
States. It exaggerates all our faults,
while at the same time it is wholly
oblivious of its own short-comings.
When the past is called up for review
the Pacific states, comparatively
young as they are, need dread no
comparison between the statesmen
whom they have senf to the national
councils with the general run of the
Jiie functionaries at the east. The
roll of California senators can be
called without much misgiving as to
the result Fremont, Gwin, Weller,
Latham, Broderick, McDougall, Sar
gent, Booth and in latar Years Far
ley, Miller and Stanford are en
titled to rank with anv of tha nnhlin
men oC their period. Some of them,
indeed, tower larcrelv above tha
average senator. Nor has Oregon
oeen at all behind hand. Nesmith,
Williams and Corbett could hold
their own with the foremost RenatnrR
of their time. E. D. Baker, during
his brief but meteoric senatorial
career, was. as to" oraforv and th
accomplishments which go to make
up individual power, head and
shoulders above his contemporaries.
The state which now has as its repre
sentatives in the senate Mitchell and
Dolph is not retrograding.;'?. F.

Powderly' Nerves.
Grand Master Workman Powderly
is not at all the ideal man of power.
ne is a Dunuie or nerves, and they !
stick out all over him.- He is impul
sive, and it doesn't take much to
make him fly into a nassion. He
wouldn't mil a ny willingly, yet some
times in fits of exasperation he
dances about and talks like the blood-
thirstiest of men. And it amuses
his associates to hear him, for
they know that he is as timid as
a woman about firearms, and wouldn't
know how to fire a pistol it he had
one. So one day when something
had gone wrong he jumped up and
skipped about the room, sheuting:
"Iwishlhadapistol, I would shoot
the son of a gun." To which the
stolid Baily replied: "You would
not know whether a pistol was
loaded from the handle or
the muzzle, Terry." "Well, I'd
like to blow him up all the same."
Terry replied. "That you are per
fectly capable of doing," said Bailey,
"with Your tongue." .Half an hour
later Terry had blown his man up, and
the Knight didn't seem to know it,
for he was smiling and chirping with
Powderly as pleasantly as a clerk to
a pretty oustomer.
Powderly despises whisky from
principle, but he abhors tobacco
from constitutional reasons. When
the executive committee meet to talk
with him they are very careful to
take their quids from their mouths.
The master workman's nostrils are as
aoute a as tobacco-hating wife's.
Hayes uses no tobacoo. But Bailey
and Turner quit smoking when
they saw how distasteful it was to
Powderly. Barry, however, who has
a good deal of obstinacy in his nat
ure, simply compromised by leaving
his oigar behind him when he met
with Powderly. One day, however,
he took an unlighted cigar into the
room. Powderly was particularly
nervous that -day, and though up to
his ears in exciting business, began
pretty soon to snuff and frown and
betray annoyance. "Aha, it is you!''
he shrieked at fast, getting up and
danoing about the room- "But I
ain't smoking it, Terry," said Barry.
"I don't care. I'd just as soon see a
man with a junk of brimstone in his
month as one of those infernal
things." Barry laughed and put the
cigar away, out of the room. New

An End to Bono Scraping;.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111.,
says: "Having received so much bene
fit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my
duty to let suffering humanity know it.
Have had a running sore on my leg for
eight years; my doctors told me I would
have to have the bone scraped or leg
amputated. I used, instead, threw bot
tles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is
now sound and well."
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents
a bottlp, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at
25c par box by W. E. Dement & Co.
