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.

retary will find it and make such short

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.

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.

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

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

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

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
