As to Immigration, Railroad and steamship companien alil<e agree that the tide of immigra tiou is again rising, and the record of a million people added to our popula tion in 1904 by immigration is likely to be surpassed in the next few years. In the six years, 1900-1905, there have come to our shores 4,281,000 foreign ers, while in the next preceding decade the number was 3,959,000. Many pub licists view these figures with alarm aud cry for increased restrictions. It is noticeable that those who have had the greatest experience with im migration are not for exclusion. Since 1820 this country has absorbed more than 26.000,000 immigrants, and de ducting those who have returned to their own countries it can be seen that the remainder, with their descendants, constitute a large part of what we are always boasting of —our great and rapid increase of population—in fact, an important proportion of our total population of 83,500,000 to-day.- There seems to be a very general impres sion in the public mind that these earlier immigrants, whose descendants to-day are among our most solid and substantial business men, political leaders and citizens, were of some su perior class. The opinion has no war rant in fact. Under the earlier immi gration laws, the bars were down, and the immigrants came into seek new homes and develop the fertile lands and rich mineral resources of the west. Again, it is claimed that now the im migrants do not go west or south to help develop the country, but remain In the cities. It is difficult t.) prove or disprove this assertion, but it can be shown that the great growth of the cities is in a large measure due to the crowding of the country people to the city, as is indicated by the con dition of our New England farms. But, as a matter of fact, while the im migration is very large, the proportion of immigrants per capita is much less than it was half a century ago. If there is a problem here it is one of distribution, not of exclusion. Leav ing out of consideration such tes timony as might be given by pre sumably interested parties like the steamship agents, it clearly has been shown that the arriving immigrants are not the "scum" of Europe. The Immigrants who came last year de clared an average wealth of $25.78 per head, or more than $20,000,000 in the aggregate, and as they must have had from SBS to $95 each to pay fares to this country from their homes, a fam ily of six must have saved up SSOO be fore coming. Furthermore, the in crease is not as large as assumed, be cause, while in the four ports of New York, Boston. Philadelphia and Balti more last year there were 693,000 ar rivals, 359,000 people departed in the steerage. Moreover, the laws of Eu rope are framed to prevent people from leaving the European countries —not to send them here, and the greatest im migration agent is the letter sent home by the so-called "foreigner," become a good American citizen, who has made a home and secured a competence un der American institutions. This estimate of the man with a "grouch" from an Ohio contemporary just about rings the bell: "The man who stands around on the street corner and complains about his town th 6 county, taxes and the weather is "mighty common clay." He is of lit tle use to his family, his country or his God. But he seems to live and thrive in all kinds of weather and under all conditions; he is found at the cross roads store, the village, town and city. Like the fly, the mosquito and the chigger, he is not fatal, but he is mighty disagreeable." Many jests will be made about the man who surrendered his pension be cause he has become a Christian Sci entist., and the illness on which his cialm for a pension was based has dis appeared. Yet the man is an example of soldierly patriotism and honor. He dealt as squarely with the government rs a decent, man deals with another individual. It is only the comparative rarity of this sort of conscientiousness •which refuses to accept undeserved money from the government which makes it a fit subject for the para graphers. WILL BE BRYAN ACAIN. The Undismayed Leader Still Thinks He Is the Only Demo cratic Moses. The Boston Herald publishes a long and interesting special dispatch from Omaha, Neb., in which the plans of William J. Bryan and those who are cooperating with him are set forth with a great deal of detail. The cor resopndent begins with ihis very posi tive declaration: "William J. Bryan is going to try to win the democratic nomination for the presidency in 1908. I have it upon the very best authority not only that he is going to try to win the nomination, but that he ex pects to win it. He is not going to be a 'receptive' candidate merely. He is going to be a very active, aggressive one." Then follows much other informa tion corroborative of the above declar ation. From it all it appears, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times, that Mr. Bryan regards himself as the logical candi date of the party, because, representing the radical wing, he retired from the field last year and gave the conserva tives full control. At the samo time he proved his loyalty to the party by supporting its platform and nominees. The overwhelming defeat of Judge Parker is taken by Bryan to mean that no conservative can be nominated and elected. There are plenty of rad icals who are eligible, but he consid ers his own claims paramount. Bryan is planning for a year's sojourn abroad, during which it is said he will study up the questions which the radical democracy will bring forward as issues, meanwhile perfecting his plan of cam paign, which is already well matured. In fact, it would appear from the state ments made in this Omaha dispatch that Bryan has an army enlisted in his service, and any number of democrats pledged in writing and through person al letters to support his candidacy and the issues which he will formulate. The campaign, it appears, is to be based on the advocacy of government ownership of public utilities, Bryan be ing represented as wholly convinced ♦ hat the country is roused to fever heat over this matter, while he will ad here to all the other doctrines taught by him, including the free and unlim ited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, belief in which he affirms as sturdily as though his party's candidate and con vention had never declared the estab lishment of the gold standard to be irrevocable. In a word, it. is the same Bryan that it was nine and five years ago, and the same slogan will lie sound ed as that which failed to rally the peolpe in 1896 and 1900. It is clear, from the correspondent's statements, that the Bryan purpose is to cut en tirely loose from conservatism and to appeal to all the elements which goto make up the army of the discontented and the visionary. It is a typical Bryan programme, and it will not alarm anyone who trusts in the sound sense, the "level head," of the American people. The "issues" which Bryan is credited with the purpose of bringing forward have been pretty well fought over and pub lic sentiment regarding them is well defined. They are no more likely to be acceptable to the great body of American voters than they were in the last three campaigns. But if Bryan wishes permanently to drive out of his party the conservative democrats and to cause them permanently to identify themselves with republicanism, which represents the antithesis of what Bry an stands for, there will be no ob jection on the part of republicans. Itch for Tariff-Ripping. We would like to have somebody tell us just where the tariff as now ad justed is felt a3 a burden in any man ner by the American people, with the solitary exception of the sugar tax. Wages have never been higher, the people never more generally employed, money never more plentiful, interest rates never lower, or the business of the country at large in a more healthy or prosperous condition. Things have not long ago been otherwise, and it would be mighty easy to get them that way again. And it is a funny thing that no other state has the tariff-rip ping itch like lowa has. Folks in other states ought to know something. It is probable their memories are better than ours. It is probably true if some men were not short, on political capital there would not be so much ruction here. —lowa State Register. Innocent Irreverence.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1905 MANILA'S WELCOME TO TAFT Reception to Former Governor Shows the Fallacy of Democratic Assertions. Americans cannot fail to bo gratified with the warm and obviously spon taneous welcome given to Secretary Taft on his recent return to the Philip pine islands, where he was known to all as the chief representative of the au thority of the United States during a long and in many respects most critical and trying period. During his term as governor of that dependency, says the Chicago Chron | icle. he had often felt it his duty to stand as the representative of what one may call the iron hand, and while always up holding the application of liberal jus tice he had proved himself as an officer of the law representing the sovereign ty of the United States entirely antag onistic to the "scuttle policy" and the weak sentimentalism oT our anti-imper ialists of the ultra New England con science type. This is said without any ; want of respect for the real New Eng land conscience grounded in real man j hood. In the uncompromisingly judicial at titude which he took and maintained he had. and he thoroughly convinced the Filipino people that he had, the equally firm and considerate support of the na tional administration. The respect, I confidence and good understanding j which this reception shows forth prove that the island people fully appreciate | him and the solid justice and intelli- I gence of his aims and methods. The anti-imperialists themselves are always insisting that the American ele ; raent in the island population is small, and Ihe more truth there may be in the j statement the stronger is the inherent proof it furnishes that the warmth of , this reception cannot be at all detracted from as being given by a crowd of Amer \ ican retainers and interested exploiters. That the military force of the govern ment would figure conspicuously in the reception given to the former governor, now secretary of war, was a foregone 1 conclusion. Common decency demand ! Ed it. But it could not have been criti cised had it been merely ceremonious, and there was no reason why the Fili pino people should take any part in it i which they did not wish to take. No body would have found fault with them ! especially had they chosen to be merely interested as individuals in a casual way. It appears, however, that the military part of the reception was something warmer than ceremony, and one may suppose, from accounts of the thirty and odd Filipino organizations that partici pated. that the military features were neither the largest nor the warmest. These societies, made up of the best classes of the natives, were under no sort of obligation as organizations any more than their members as individuals to take public part in the festivities, and that they did so is a very significant fact. The whole occasion, spontaneously offered among a people which the anti imperialists are continually telling us are oppressed and discontented and verging on something worse, is one in which Secretary Taft. the national ad ministration and the nation itself may well see reason for feeling genuine gratification. Tyrants, wrongdoers, exploiters, blunderers, are not accorded bucti honors anywhere. FROM THE POLITICAL PRESS.

The Springfield Union, in seeking Canadian reciprocity sentiment, has learned there is no Canadian reciproc ity sentiment. It is well for the Union ito find this out for itself. The rest of |us have known it for some time. : Canada wants no treaty, and if she did ; it would be one of such pronounced I advantage to her that we would not j consider it. Isn't it about time to drop ; this talk and let it be confined to Foss ! and Harris and their free trade allies? We are selling to Canada now twice as much as we buy from her.

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS It Is Likely to be Reached by Peace Envoys on Tuesday, at the Next Session. THE JAPS HAVE YIELDED NOTHIND Pressure Is Being Exerted to Induce Japan to Moderate Her Terms, but the Chances for Compro mise Are Regarded as Very Slim. At midnight Assistant Secretary Peirce was called to the Hotel Went worth, where a message was awaiting him from the president. He immedi ately wrote a lengthy reply. Later ho was called to the telegraph instrument and for half an hour carried 011 a conversation by telegraph with the president, who was at the other end of the wire at Oyster Bay. The Associated Press has mison to believe that the purpose of the presi dent's conversation with Mr. Peirce was to arrange for one of the Russians togo to Oyster Bay. The president is already in communication with the Japanese through Baron Kaneko. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 19. —Black pessmism reigns at Portsmouth. The prevailing view is that the fate of the peace conference Is already sealed; that it has ended In failure and that, all that now remains is for the pleni potentiaries to meet on Tuesday, t» which day they adjourned Friday af ternoon upon completing the seriatim consideration of the Japanese terms, sign the final protocol and bid each other farewell. But there Is still room for hope of a compromise. Neither President Roose velt nor the powers will see the chance of peace shipwrecked without a final effort, and that pressure is be ing exerted, especially at Tokio, to in duce Japan to moderate her terms is beyond question. King Edward is un derstood to he lending a helping hand and the financiers of the world are ex erting all their influence. At Tokio and St. Petersburg the final issue will be decided. The Japanese have been implacable throughout the six days' sittings. They hare listened and ex plained, but they have yielded not an iota of their original demands. Mr. Wltte accepted outright seven of the 12 Japanese conditions, one in principle and four, including the main issues, indemnity and Sakhalin he 1 ejected. The other two, limitation of naval power and the surrender of In terned warships, might have been ar ranged had there been any prospect of agreement on the two points upon which the divergence seemed irrec oncilable. Portsmouth, N. 11., Aug. 15. —Al- though very rapid progress was made with the peace negotiations Monday, three of the 12 articles which consti tute the Japanese conditions of peace having been agreed to by Mr. Witte and Baron Rosen on behalf of Russia, neither of the two articles to which Mr. Witte in his reply returned an ah solute negative was reached. The three "articles" as they are officially designated in the brief communica tions authorized to be given to the press which were disposed of Monday are as follows: First Russia's recognition of Japan's "preponderating Influence" and special posltlou in Korea, which Russia henceforth agrees is outside of her sphere of influence, Japan bind ing herself to recognize the suzerainty of the reigning family, but with the right to give advice and assistance to Improve the civil administration of the empire. Second —Mutual obligation to evac uate Manchuria, each to surrender all special privileges in that province, mutual obligation to respect the ''ter -itorial integrity" of China and to maintain the principle of equal oppor tunity for the commerce and industry of all nations in that province (open door). Third —The cession to China of the Chinese Eastern railroad from Harbin southward. Portsmouth. N. H., Aug. 10. —The crisis in the peace negotiations OR which the eyes of the world are fast ened is approaching rapidly and the end of this week or the first of next at the least should witness the dead lock and the end. If the conference is togo to pieces. Two more of the 12 articles, Nos. 4 and (1, were disposed of Tuesday. Article 1 consists of mu tual pledges to observe the Integrity of China and the policy of the "open door" for the commerce of all na tions, and Article (> covers the sur render of the Russian leases to the Liao Tung peninsula, Port Arthur, Dalny and the Hlondo and Elliott Isl ands. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 18. —The crisis in the peace conference has been reached and pessimism is again the note. The pessimism is based upon the fact that no progress was made Thurs day. Tim exchange of views at the morning session on Article 9 (remun eration for the cost of the war) show ed at once that the plenipotentiaries were as far apart as the poles and it was passed over. Schooner and Crew Lost. North Sydney, N. S., Aug. 15.—A small schooner which was sailing along the coast off Lingan Head was struck by a severe squall yesterday and capsized.

The Czar Orders the Convocation of a National Assembly and Grants a Limited Suffrage. St. Petersburg. Aug. 19. —Russia's rational representative assembly, the 1 fruit of decades of striving for reform, | which endows the Russian people ! W'ith the right of being consulted ' through their chosen representatives ' in the suggestion, preparation and re peal of legislation, to-day takes its place among the fundamental institu -1 tions of the empire. In a solemn manifesto Emperor t Nicholas announces this morning to I his; subjects the fruition of his plans j summoning the representatives of the j people, as outlined by him in a re -1 script issued on March 3 last, and fixes | the date for the first convocation as ! mid January and in a ukase addressed ! to the senate orders that body to reg ! Ister as the imperial will a law project , formulating the nature, power and j procedure of the new governmental 1 organization. The national assembly will be a I consultive organization in connection | with the council of the empire and not I a legislative body. The powers of the I emperor remain theoretically absolute, j The representatives of the people I will have not only the right to be i heard on any legislation proposed by the government, but also can voice their desires on new laws and will have the right to exert a certain su pervision over budget expenditures. The suffrage, though wide, is not universal. It is based on property qualification, the peasantry having a vote through membership in commer cial organizations. A considerable portion of the resi dents of the cities, possessing no lands, together with women, soldiers, etc.. are without suffrage. TRADE AND INDUSTRY. Encouraging Reports are Received from All Branches. New York, Aug. 19. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Assurance of prosperity on the farms generates confidence in all de partments of trade and industry. Con tracts are placed for distant delivery and commercial payments are more prompt. It is also gratifying to note that pending and threatening labor controversies are less numerous: a higher scale was adopted at glass fac tories. and the attractive w'ages paid to harvest hands have reduced the ranks of the unemployed to a mini mum. Jobbing trade is brisk, especi ally in dry goods. Mills and factories are well em employed, little idle machinery being •noted in the prominent industries, al though iron and steel returns are still somewhat irregular. Traffic by rail and water is very heavy, railway earn ings thus far reported for August ex ceeding last year's figures by C.C per cent. Commercial failures this week in the United States number "IS, against 22C the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 28, against 2-1 last year. BOMBS CAME IN THE MAIL. Infernal Machines Are Sent to the Of fices of Prominent New York Jews. New York, Aug. 19. —Two small in fernal machines were sent to promi nent New Yorkers yesterday. Jacob 11. Schiff, the banker who this week conferred with Mr. Witte, the chief Russian peace plenipotentiary, con cerning the condition of the Jews in Russia, was the target of the more dangerous of the machines, a contriv ance capable of causing death. The other was received by M. Guggen heim's Sons and was directed to the office of the American Smelting and Refining Co. Mr. Schiff was absent from the city, being at liar Harbor. The banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of which he is a member, received by mail a wooden box about six Inches long al dressed to Mr. Schiff and marked as if coming from Edward Seventh. It was Immediately turned over to the police, although at first regarded only as a joke. Grave reports from expert testers at the bureau of combustibles, however, quickly suggested that th«» sender might have had other motives than pleasantry. The police began an Immediate investigation.

TWELVE LIVES CRUSHED OUT A Mountain of Rock Fell from the Side of a Huge Quarry a t Ormrod. Pa. IT DROPPED ON 18 WORKMEN twelve Were Killed and Six Injured, Some Fatally —Nir.e Men Escaped in Safety Mass of Rock Weighed Thousands of Tons. AI lent own, Pa., AUK. IT. —A of limestone weighing thousands of lons slid from a side of the quarry of mill A, of the Lehigh Cement Co. at Orm rod at noon Wednesday, just five min utes before lime to quit work. Twenty-seven men were at work in the quarry, which is a thousand i'el long, 150 feel across and 100 feet deep. Heavy rains for two days had softened the earth and caused the slide of rock. Where the fallen mass slipped away a smooth, nearly perpendicular wall was left, rising sheer 100 feet above the bottom of the quarry, while the en tiro quarry floor was covered with broken, jagged rock. Only nine of the men got away safely, four of whom escaped by run ning up on a mass of rock L'. 'he oppo- J site side of the quarry. The remaining. ; 18 were huddled in a space ten feet j square, 12 of whum were killed and j six injured. Two of the latter may die. All of the men are Slavonians who lived in shanties close to the quarry. Two men who saw the side of the quarry quiver shouted a warning to the men. The men misinterpreted the calls and failed to move out of the zone of danger until it was too late. With a thunderous roar the mountain of rock fell, pinning the men fast. All the men from the neighboring companies as well as the rigging gang set to work at once to extricate the unfortunates. They used block and tackle, crowbars, hydraulic jacks and pitchforks to remove the stone, many of which weighed three tons. Moans were heard coming from several places and there the rescuers directed their efforts. They gradually ttncov 112 red one man after another and at S:UO got out the last live man. His head and shoulders were exposed from the first, but his leg;s were pinned fast by an enormous boulder. Six men were found huddled in one place, four standing and two down. Three were alive and one diet before he could be gotten out. Five physicians were summoned who gave the injured first aid on the scene and then had them hur»'ed to the Allen town hospital. The lead were laid on boards and carried to the stock house. Eight bodies were recovered befon dark, at which time two more were exposed to view and two others buried deep in the pit. TARIFF REVISIONISTS. They Meet in Convention at Chicane and Adopt a New War Cry. Chicago, Aug. 17. —"Dual tariffs" in all probability is the war cry that will ring through the United States for some years to come, instead of the familiar call for "reciprocity." The new slogan means the passage of a "maximum and minimum" tariff law permitting the establishment of reciprocal trade relations with friend ly foreign countries by vote of con gress. Alvin H. Sanders, chairman of the executive committee of the national reciprocity conference which opened its two days' session at the Illinois theatre yesterday, is credited with originating the war cry. Mr. Sanders broached his suggestion to a few friends after the word reciprocity had received some roug'.i handling on the floor of the convention and it met ap proval among the delegates. Chicago, Aug. IS. —The reciprocity conference called to devise means of battering the trade relations between the United Stales p.nd foreign coun tries finished its work Thursday, ar ranged for a committee of 1"> to pros" cut<* the plans of the convention and formed a permanent organization !*• be styled the American Reciprocal Tariff League. The committee will be appointed by the chair with power to organize and promote the work for which the convention assembled. The resolutions adopted advocate a. maximum and minimum tariff as a means of relieving the situation with which this country is confronted, and suggest that such reciprocal conces sions be arranged by a permanent tariff commission, to be created by congress and to be appointed by the president. The principal speaker was Gov. A. B. Cummins, of lowa, who in a speech full of fire and eloquene • '''tried defi ance at the enemies e" oiprocity. Mr. Cummins brought 1.. audience under his spell and except when inter rupted with uproarious applause, he held full sway for three-quarters of an hour. . Train Crashed Into a Trolley Car.
