Undesirable Immigration.
Foreign immigration to the United
States this year is breaking all records.
in February the figures rose from 6,841
Kill 1894 and 7,190 in 1895 to 11,822 in.
1896. March showed a corresponding
arise, from 14,452 two years ago to 20,-
e650 this year. April’s returns, of course,
.are not yet in, but from 26,681 in 1894
they rose to 28,457 in 1895. Recent
events on Ellis Island show that they
«will be still larger before the month
«closes. The first three days of the cur-
:rent month brought 13,170 aliens here,
“While between March 15 and April 3 no
i-fewer than 22,111 landed at the island.
’These are not all good material.
Last week a superficial scrutiny of them
rrcsulted in sending back several hun-
«dred. It is probable that quite as many
emote were permitted to creep into our
;population who should have been de-
5-.ported. As the motive causes that re-
e‘tirate these exiles continue to operate
"their average quality will deteriorate
.etill further. They are, for the most
{part Italians who are flying from
ithreatened conscription for the Aby-
‘asinian war. They have no more con-
ception of what is involved in American
citizenship than so many panic-strick-
' wenm’nirnals seeking refuge from a prai-
varie fire.
.‘_It is not desirable that this class of
‘~ "immigrants should be poured into tle
‘ezrpopulation of this country. Already
‘zreer‘ious complications have arisen as a
consequence of their importation. It
is not only that they are brought here
on" terms that do serious injustice to
_...”ih.n:.erican labor, contrary to law; they
ibrine; with them infirmities of body,
smind-and character that tend to hamper
i the progress of the race. They do not
Ldistribute themselves through the coun-
itry,‘biit crowd the already overcrowded
tenement districts of the cities. They
.«are. to a large extent, from every point
(if-view, ineligibles. '
What is imperatively needed in} view
of this swelling tide of undesirable ini-
migration - is prompt action by Con-
gress. Bills are pending in both
gbranches providing reasonable restric-
tion. The Lodge bill in the Senate,
Establishing a test of intelligence, seems
its meet the case broadly, although the
Ificuse bill is better than none.
”There is no matter of graver import
snce’before the national legislature at
this mement than the preservation of
«our nationality from impairment by
“this Objectionable European strain.
"An emergency .exists that ought to be
~met at once and fearlessly.

During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin,
of Long Beach, West Va., contracted a.
severe cold which left him with a cough. In
speaking of how he cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup but found
no relief until I bought a bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me
almost instantly, and in a. short time brought
about apomplete cure.” When troubled with
a cough or cold use this remedy and you
will not find it necessary to try several kinds
before you get relief. It has been in the

. FADS IN THINGS TO EAT.
Articles of Diet Which Are Alleged by
Cranks to Have Medicinal Value.
Celery is invaluable as a. food for those
suffering from any form of rheumatism,
for disease of the nerves, and nervous
dyspepsia.
Lettuce for those suffering from in-
somnia. 2.,
\Vntercress is a remedy for scurvy.
Peanuts for indigestion. They are
especially recommended for-corpulent .
diabetes. Peanut-s are made into a.
wholesome and nutritious soups, are
browned and used as coffee, are eaten
as a relish simply baked, or are pro-
pured and served as salted almonds.
Onions‘are almost the best. nervine
known. No medicine is so useful in
cases of nervous prostration, and there
is nothing else that will so quickly re—
lieve and tone up a. wornout system.
Onions are useful in all cases of coughs,
colds and influenzafin consumption,in—
somniii, hyprophobia, scurvy,gravel and
kindred liver complaints. Eaton every
other day they soon have a clearing and
whitening effect on the Complexion.
Spinach is useful tothose with gravel.
, Asparagus is used to induce pers»
pirat-ion. . . '
Carrots for sufferers from asthma.
Turnips for nervous disorders and
for scurvy. ‘ ‘i _
‘ Raw beef proves a great benefit to
persons of frail constitution and to
those suffering from consumption. It
is chopped fine, seasoned with salt, and
heated by placing it in a dish of hot wa-
ter. It assimilates rapidly and affords
the best nourishment. ,
Eggs contain a large. amount of
nutriment in a compact, quickly avail-
able forni. Beaten up raw with sugar
they are used to clear and strengthen
the voice. With sugar and lemon juice

I
hoarseness.
Honey is wholesome, strengthening,
cleansing, healing and nourishing.
Fresh ripefruits are excellent for
purifying the blood and toning up the
system. As specific remedies oranges
are aperient. Sour oranges are highly
recommended for rheumatism. _.~_.
