IMMIGRATION DANGERS.
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. In
this case onofhtir fti'al was arranftcd for,
but itihls will lnvoOve the los'3 of a trip
by the vessel. Th last of the big ships
to be examined was the I'ars, ait Now
York, a fUw d iyis ao, and while the ro
su'llts of the oxamlnatjon hove not been
recolvid nt the dojpart'ment, It Is not,
doutncid that she will I prove to be iu f
lufoctory a her slater tJhlp, the New

A GOOD WORD.
Mr. J. J. Keil. Sharpsburg, Pa.
Dear Sir: I am glad to say a good
word for Krause's Headache Capsules.
After suffering for over three years

you suggested this remedy which gave
me almost instant relief. Words fall
to express the praise I should like to
bestow on Krause's Headache Capsules.
