With improving times tihe old danger of unchleok.tt immigration returns with all itfua attendant errors. During the do pressed financial period, Immigration, like everything else, fell below i'ts previous records, and among Ithe many unfortun ate oondl'tions which prevulled we en Joyed the one good of immunity from the previous Influx of undesirable population. .The puMcatton ft (figures showing how immlgra'tlon had declined in the two years of dtpresfc'.on led many peopte to suppose -that ut had been permanently checked and that some radical lmprov oienit had taken place, either In the na ture or ithe enforcement of our immigra tion Jaws. Th. Is a wholly "Jhisitaken idea. The rules for the exclusion of undtaSlnalbla immigration are mo more rigorous and are enforced with no mure vigJance hun they were lUhree years ago. Our country is tJUll open t'o the Invasion of tiHsaaaed, (pauperized and morally pes--lXenlt foreigners. As long as nestta with ithe officers of tlhe OteamsMp -cumipunlles to decide who shall enter and iwh'o shall not, there Is likely to be little br no improvement. These officials may be imen of average latttprJty, but Ithey are working for tlie interests of ithelr companies, not for the lnlberedts of the Uni'ted States. They are put upan ba'Kh itltiialt Itfioir passengers do not belong 'to Ithe excluded classes and are required to put ithe applicants for patfsago 'through a formal examination, being Uhius depiendent for their Informa tion on tlhe word of these people them selves, wWo are naituriilly as much inter ested as tlhe companies in being able to pass the rules. 'A Bllglhit nudxal cxamlln- a'tlon la atoo required. This is probably sufficient to ahijt out contagious (lis eases and perhaps 1 insane people- and ldl.ois. The Boston Journal calls tutiten- Hon to several popular mtoconoeptlons of the requiromeuilts of our llimmlgniitlon laws, soma at -which are too Irequ. ntly dAvX naimfcfly, Uialt 'the (mmlgrunt shall be able to read and iwrtte, and that he hull aiffls J30 in money. Neither stipu lation loppea'ia anywhere in the laws of the Un'-l-ed Sl.ouefl as regards immigra tion. Thiey do tippoor lit th'e aHeannphlp oompainles' formula, In the shape of questions to be put to the timimigrant, Biit illhey are there lor Btnttatlcal pur- poWes, noil tu act as a baTrler for shift less and Ullteratie lmimigranits. It ts therefore as important as evur- more limpoiitunt in tdils critical stage of our history that mr bniiugraiiion laws sliould be revised wnd that itlutr enforce moot should be trade .obligatory upon tk'me sat of oflldala iwho will have an Interest in sett'ng them property carried out. Obviously Illids can only be done by placing tlhe first responsiblUity la the handu Of oIlta.aL'ls at foreign port's, and Jt nuturutly fottouvs that itho consuls shouM have the supervision of iiwm ra tion laddied to Ithetr duUwj, being alloweJ soma exltira asa.ritance if aeccesary. Every consul thus empwvred should be in struateU to demand of each Intending lmmllgranit a cerUfkiaJte from IttK-a ofllclals of the ikstrict (from iwh'lch he came, bltut Irg his cotiull-ilo-n, mentul, physical and flnunUal. Theme tCiould also be at his service the advt.ee of a competent phys; clan to examine the Inwulisirant Just bo- fore Oj.ibai-katlon. Whatever tiiie rules of exx-Sualon may be, they can only bv cunried out in some such way as this. That May should be Wore swore than they uro now Is mot to be questiomd, nrtilll the results of their enforcement or ivjn-en'foccttnent are- B.mply incalculable In tlhe future of our country, TAXING THE RICH. There (s an interesting and useful ob ject lemon In the abstracts of the tax s assessed for the present year In New York for state and city purposes, as shown by the Globe-Democrat. The- tax payers number 79,000, or one In twenty' two of the lultat population cf the city. That Is to soy, the whole burden of such taxation for a city of nsariy 2,000,000 In haMtanlts (3 borne by this comparatively small proportion of c.tlsens, one-half of the amount being pad by letrt than 1000 persons. The valuation of all property -of the city listed for taxation is $1,014. 647,615, and the sum to be collec'.cd frvm It 4a $37.476,9C0, or 1.83 p.r cent of the prin cipal, wh'.ch Is about one-fourth of in earning cap&clly under reuuonable condi tions. Not a dollar of this taxation Is collect.! from oocupan'ts or tenanfts, or from the wage-earning ctasjea, as we caH thero, but from the capitalsis and owners otf rial ests. whom the Income Hax mi '.rtt-onded to reach. The tax books of every other large cliy present the same proof of the fact that the nch do not es.v.pe 'ISiolr proper share of the f.?o It Is not by '.to many, but by the few, that the taxes of (lie country are pTlrtclplly paid, and all talk to the contrary 1b refuted by the official fijures which are all open to ln;ip?cLlon everywhere. Our Kate and local taxea 'comstiltute I'no bulk of the aggregate contributes that are required 'to be made for carry ilng on the business of government. The floral revenue Is obtained 'In an ind.re. way, chiefly from tar.lt duties, but the s:ates, counties and, municipalities levy t.-ibulto d,'.rcctJy upon the property within her JurtsJlctlon, not in a per capita fusli.ion, but according to Its value; and and 'the result is that In every community a ni.nort'ly lit Whe people pay most of the tjxec. In other words wv have class taxation, noDwllhisltantllng our theory of eriuallty and uniform ty and the clas3 at,'ali:fat twh'xh the discrinuna'tlon Is made does r.'ot reirrci'ent the labor of the coun try. The pi-oportion of taxpayers to non- taxpayers Us much smaller than Is goner ally unUerut'ood. There are far moi-e mien Who never fay a dollar in that re spect than there are men who pay ev.n such a Bum. The assertion that an in come ilix or any cJiher peti,al devlcs Is necessary to compel the r.ch to pay a proper part of the taxes does not deserve serious cowalderation, for the reason that tho tax-books answer i t in a plain and conclusive way. There are some fonms of proiperty which escape taxation, but the fact remains that the burden Is so Imposed thut it fa! is mainly upon i"no capltaHts ana largre proprietors, an-I not upon ttoe tolling masses whom 'the d(an aigoguie'S are always telling that they are being opprelsseil and impoverished tiy lawra relating 'to Ithe collection of money for puJb'ile purposes. The nlivy deiartment, through the con strmotjon cortp3, and special offlcjrs do tailed for the purpose, is miking up a report for the u'.se of Hie poatoillce de parement, thawing JufJt wbait American steaimei-s are tllgible for subsidies under the law passed by Ithe Fifty-first congress. So far they have exiimined thirty vetwi-ls, luct'UJIng the steaimers of the Iniknia tlonial Navigation company (ilia American 1 ne), Ithe rarfflc Mall vasels, and many aWitirS Ot J.ncs plying betwe.n the United States and foreign countries. All these, with one exception, have been found to comply with the requirements of Hie subsidy act In their ab.l'.ty to carry guns and bei tramsformed into war veisstls in time of inecld. The exception wis one ves sel of the Inltirnatlonal L.ne, which Should have fchoiwn fourteen knots of speiAl, but rcully developed 13.0S knots.
