Official figures show that while the alien arrivals were 189,582 in the seven months ertded with February 1, 1884, they were only 113,375 in the same period ending In 1885: The earlier total was somewhat below the average In recent preceding years, but the latter one was 76,207 lower still. Although the panic was under way during the whole of the first period and immigra tion was reduced accordingly, It was 40 per cent below it hat line in tin second period. One of the causes of the decline, of oourse, Is the business depression. Every financial convulsion which the country has ever had reflected Itself In the Immigration statistics by a decline In the number of arrivals.- Moreover, the decline was not Immediately checked by the upward turn In busi ness. Usually not until improvement has been under way two Or three years has Immigration started to Increase. At the present time, however, the bar riers raised by our improved Immigra tion laws have helped to cause the de cline. Many who would have run the gauntlet of the panic and have come In under the old regulations have been excluded. Unfortunately, however, the the testlmonytfrom the ports of entry shows, the weeding process has not been carried far enough. The undesir able element has not been entirely barred. A dozen years ago and earlier, social economists were In the habit of placing a high valuation on each Immigrant Bach had a certain money value to the country, and good policy demanded 'that special inducements be made to bring in as many as possible. The fig ures giving the number of arrivals were scanned with eager Interest. When the Immigration in 1882 went up near 800,000, paeans were emitted by the philosophers. After a time, how ever, the truth dawned on the coun try's mdnd that miscellaneous immigra tion was not an unmixed blessing. It was found that while most of the Im migrants were worth, to thes country the sum at which they were appraised iby the economists, many others were not only worth nothing, but were a serious detriment and burden. Then the agitation for' a change In the im migration laws began, and the reports from New York show that further re form In this direction Is needed either In the laws or In the men Intrusted with their execution. It Is a curious fact that with the nomination only a little over a year distant, the Democratic party is prae tlcally without a candidate for Che presidency. There are men among its leaders who would like such a distinc tion, undoubtedly, but there Is not one who can really be said to stand out as a definite probability in that direc tion. There Is no apparent sentiment In favor of any of those who have claims to consideration or who are sup posed to cherish an ambition to reach the highest office In the land. On the Republican side, Reed, McKtnley, Har rison, and possibly Allison may be re garded as avowed candidates: but there are none on the other side. Never before in our history bas this been known. The different par-ties have in VartaJbly bad a number of prominent men actively at work to secure the nomination, and th question bas been that of deciding upon the relatlv mer its and availability of several con test -rts. In repeated Instances, to be sure. comparatively c-bsoure men fca-va been elected, tout Oils has not beea for want of larger men who were openly seeking the honor. This Is the first time that a party has been absolutely bankrupt In the matter-of distinctive and active candidates for the presidency. The appeal of the (Bimetallic League, for the formation of a new silver party, and Its nomination of ex-Congressman Jrje Sibley, of Pennsylvania, for presi dent, Is not taken with any great de gree of seriousness. It is remarked that It ought to be called a Nevada party, since Senators Jones and Stew are bead the petition. Jones' change from Populism to sllverlsm. show bow he can jump around to suit conditions. It Is also taken to mean that the Popu lists are to lose whatever strength they might have had from the ellverites, and the sliver strength is to be still further divided. Senator Cameron's friends are a little piqued that he who has been a silver man for so many years should be turned down for such a new man as Sibley. This is the be ginning of the bickering that will dis rupt the party which, calling Itself a bimetallic one, is for silver alone. If the railroad doesn't come this year, and it is reasonably certain It will not If Bonner and Hammond fall to com mence operations under their contract by April 1st, then no time Bhould be lost in putting a bridge across Young's Bay under the law passed at the last session of the legislature. With a good gravel road established by the county court under the Cross road act from the end of the bridge to the beach at Seaside, and the completion of the As toria and Nebalem plank road, Astoria will be a good town without any rail road.
