Tho suggestion of the newspapers of
British tendencies that United States
'Aliad better reduce Its tariff so as to keep
out undesirable immigrants by in
creasing the wants of Its countrymen,
is best answered by what Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew recently saw
.while in eastern part of London :
I traversed the Whiteehnpel dls
trict. It was a sight impossible to see
anywhere else In the world. The
streets were so crowded that It was al
most impossible to wedge your way
through. Every few feet was some
f merchant, male or femal, selling the
cast-of clothes or household furniture
wnicu came to them after having
been worn or used through n dozen
different grades before it reached
Vhiteobapel. I saw rags held up
tliora fir nnlo Hllif. nnwhnrA In A niorl.

ash barrel, and the ashman in picking
it over would refuse to carry it homo.
Such poverty, bucu misery, such
wretchedness, such a seething fur
nace of ignorance and all the atten
dants upon hopelessness, I never saw
' before and never expect to see again.

magnificent palaces, with every ovl
denco in part of it of tho largest
wealth, the greatest luxury, the moat

Within 20 minutes from that place
you come to the annual parade in
Hyde Park of all iiiat Is most splendid
in rank, wealth, beauty and dress in
the British Empire. Miserable as
these people huvo been always, their
misery is a thousandfold more intensi
fied by pauper immigration. Great
Britain has established no barrier, as
we have, and imposed no rules what
ever. It is the dumping ground for
all Europe for misery which must
starve or go somewhere. It goes to
London and competes there with a
condition so much better than its own
that in the wages It accepts, in the
work it does, it is reducing the British
workingmen and working women of
tho great cities to a dangerous point
for British peaco and prosperity. It is
a lesson for us to take to ourselves,
whether the barriers which wo have
already should not be increased, and
whether notices should not be sent all
over the world that "wo have sym
pathy, we have humanity, but keep
your paupers at home."
The description is more striking
than that presented In the article
above referred to, and more valuable,
in that it presents the wealth of that
part of London situated northwest of
Westminster in contrast tothopoverty
of tho eastern portion. But there is
nothing in his picture of the White-
chapel district that will encourage the
free trade propaganda as a method of
reducing immigration to this country
As a matter of fact we must cither
continue to stand ihe strain of mak
ing good and successful citizens out of
the failures of Europe, in the future as
in the past, or else shut such failures
out ot the country by legislation.
That suggestion of a citizen, made
in Friday's Herald, is a good one,
but it does not meet with favor among
our town Shylocks.
Boom is the word. Help it along
by interesting yourself in securing in

Tho Water Company's Caso
Against tho Borough Now Re
ceiving Attention Other
Suits of Town Peoplo
A number of our townsmen, Including
several members and ox-mombers of the
Borough Council, wont to Pottsville to
day to testify in tho caso of tho Shcnan
donh Water & Gas Company against the
town. Among thorn wero Councilmon
Morris Wurra and A. B. Lamb, ex-Coun-oilmen
J. J. Towoll, Patrick Ormsuy and
Picrco Walker, D. J. Connors, J. S. Will
iams and M. E. Doylo. S. D. Hess, tho
superintendent of tho Wator Company,
was also subf.ooaaod as a wltnoss for tho
borough.
Tho caso is ono in which about ?5 000 is
involved. Tho company claims paymont
from tho town for water supplied for tho
flro plugs, at tho rato of 820 per plug, an
nually, amounting to over 5800 for each
year.
Tho borough maintains that somo yeais
ago, when it had tho powor to establish
water works of its own, it withdrew from
tho field in favor of the water company,
upon tho understanding that tho lattor
would mako no charge for water used at
tho tiro plugs.
.They Didn't Got tho Horsos.
Michael O'Uara, another of our towns
men, was interested in a law suit at Potts-
ville to-day. It seems that, somo timo ago,
tho Lobanon Brewing Company placed a
team of horses in Mr. O'Uara' s care. A
fow days later' A. Wolf, the horso Jockey,
and a coostablc, togother with W. A.
Marr, Esq., of Ashland, called at Mr.
O'llara's stable to tako the horses on an
attachmont. Mr. O'Uara refused to allow
them to tako the animals and when thoj
persisted uu warned tbem not to touch
thou, and told the constable ho was not big
enough.to take thorn. Thoso who know
tho stalwart Mike can readily appreciate
tho situation. Whon ho says "No" it may
bo understood as "No" and those who will
not understand are liable to run up against
a physlquo which few mortals of ordinary
weight have n desire to handle. So, it
seems, tho constable concludod, and the
party left the stablo without tho horsps,

APPEALING FOR AID.
Stato Hospital rustooa Call At
tention to Its Neods.
The following circular has lust been
iued appealing for prlyato contributions
for tho Miners' llrspital:
Tho B iard of Trustees for this State
llnspiial dosiro to plaeo before the public
cortain information regarding it, In order
to draw attontion toils needs, and if possi-
hlo, secure contributions to aid them in
oarrying on its work of healing the wounds
and saving tho lives of tho unfortunato
men ontru'tod to their care.
Tho hospital was built in 1638 under an
act of tho Lnitislaturo of the Common
wealth by trustees appointed by the Gov
ernor, in accordanco with its provisions. It
was handed over to tho trustees, our pre
decessors, appnlnlod to administer charity,
in an unfinished condition. Nor bavo tho
trusteos at this time boon ablo to secure tbo
moans necessary for tho finishing and fur
nishing of the buildings and tho proper en
closing and grading of tho grounds.
Tho number of pationts treated In this
hospital last years was 1,1H, and sinco its
opening, 4.881 inside patients and 3 876
outside patients have received treatment.
Being located in tho anthracito mining
region, and undor tho act of tho Legisla
ture reiiuirod to give preference first, to
persons employed in and about the mines,
second, to persons employed on or about
railroads, third, to persons employed In or
about work Bhops, and having its sphoro
liraitod to tho treatment of injured persons,
its patients are otten smfering from in
jur! s of tho most serious character, frac-
turos of tho skull, ribs, spino and limbs,
and sovoro burns of tho whole body from
oxplosions of gas in tho mines. During
the past yoar 607 oporations wero. per
formed, many of thorn of tho most dolicato
and difficult character, with wonderful
success.
Tho hospital was built to accommodalo
fifty-six pationts. It has now crowded into
it ninety bods, always full, nnd at Umo3
during tho past yoar has had ns high as 110
pationts, beside out pationts treated in tho
hospital.
For various reasons the appropriations
askod for tho proper support and continu
ance of tho work of tho hospital wera cut
down by tho recent Legislature and the
Executivo to tho moro maintenance and
treatment of pationts. Appropriations
asked, for a ward for tho separato treat
ment of pationts burnod by explosions of
gs in tho mines, who on account of tho
offensivenoss of thoir wounds, and their
ravings in dolinum often lasting for days
and weeks, should bo kept 6oparalo, for tho
erection of a vostibulo shed at tbo hospital
ontranco undor which pationts might bo
takon from tho ambulanco and carriod on a
level into tho operating room without ox
posing them whon in a weakened condition
to rain and winter storms, for a largo, bet
tor lighted and equipped operating room,
for repairs to tho buildings, for finishing
tho buildings and for enclosing and grad
ing tho grounds, wero wholly cut tff.
Under this condition of affairs tho trus
loes find themselves confronted with tho
fact that additional funds aro needed to
preserve tho property from decay and keep
it in condition to enablo them to properly
caro for tho unfortunato pationts who aro
committod to their charge
A supplomont to tbo act creating tho
hospital was passed by tho Legislature on
the 19th of May, 1837, under which tho
trustees are ompowored to recoivo contri
butions or donations from any person, firm
or corporation to aid in tho support and
maintenance, and for improving tbo prop
erty of the hospital.
Tho trustets present this statomont of tho
neods of the hospital, and refer to tho act of
tbo Legislature, authorizing tbem to re
ceive contributions from individuals, firms
or corporations by wil', dotd, gift or other
wise for tho information of tbo public, and
earnestly call upon porsons, firms or cor
porations, whoao employes are Ukon oaro of
by it, and upon other charitably disposed
porsons, to come forward and contributo for
its support.
They would bo g'ad to bavo porsons con
templating a gift, or others interested in
this great charity, to visit the hospital to
see the work dono by it, and ascertain its
neods by tboir own personal observations.
