SB rgrv? -vs?V; 'S 11 POPULAR DEMAND lor Measures Intended to Restrict Further Pauper Immigration. SOME DEMOCRATS EEADY To Take It Up as a Party Issue, but Bepublicans Will Join Them. ALLEGHEKYCOMTI AN EXAMPLE, Lecordlng to Statisticians, ef the Evils of the Present System. 6TATEHEKT8 THAT IRE 6TABTLIKG tlrXdJX TrLXGILUI TO TXXX DISPATCH.1 "WASHEfaTOX, Dec. a There are many Indications that the Democratic lenders are seriously considering the advisability of adopting the anti-immigration issue. They till expect to revise the tarifl, but many of them believe that a move in line of restrict ing the foreign influx would redound to the popularity of the coming administration. Tbe matter has been considered by such men as Gorman and Hills in the Senate, and Bynum and Fellows in the House. Con gressman Oates, who was Chairman of the Homestead Investigating Committee, is understood to be decidedly in favor of such a more. I fear confence of Democratic leaders is held the question will certainly be exhaustively discussed. Providing the Democrats propose' any auch step there is little likelihood that they will meet with much partisan opposition. Indeed, this reform has been hitherto championed by Bepublicans, one of the most prominent of whom has been Con gressman AT. A. Stone, of the Allegheny district. A few carefully-gathered facts will serve to illustrate the dangers threat ening from the present system of gathering the poverty-stricken, the diseased and the criminal of foreign nations for shipment to America. Chinese Comparatively Desirable. During the year 1891 twice as many Hebrews as are now in the Holy Land dis embarked at the port of Xew York. ' Prac tically all of them were paupers, and 50, 000 ot them came from Russia. Compared with them the Chinese are most desirable citizens. There are 3,500,000 more of them in Bussia, and they are all comincr over. The fund of 510,000,000 given by Baron Hirch will suffice to letch them all to America within a few years. In 18S0 there were 25,000 convicts in prison and on tictets-of-leave in England. At present tnere are less than 12,000 in all. This reduction has been accomplished by shipping British criminals to this country. It is a most profitable system, relieving England of dangerous citizens and signify ing a saving ot 5170 a year lor each person thus transported. There are about 00. so called Discharged Prisoners' Aid Societies In Great Britain. "While nominally pri vate benevolent organization?, they are in reality agents of the Goernnrent. Before a convict is discharged an officer from one of the societies visits him in Drison and ar ranges with him that lie shall go to the United States. He nearly always assents, because he is only too glad to escape. police' surveillance and to get away lrom the record which faces him in every court whenever he commits a new crime. Glad to Get Kid of Him. If he accepts the proposition the Gov ernment hands him over to the society, paying to the society at the same time 530. Out of this sum the society pays 517 50 ior the convict's ticket to Anerica. An official accompanies him to the port, buys his ticket, iurnishes liim with clothes, bed ding and other necessaries and hands him the balance of 512 50 on the departure of the ship. "With a view of getting rid of as many criminals as possible in this way, the Brit ish Government 1ms adopted system of imnosing a short term of imprisonment and a lone term ef surveillance on offenders against the laws. Thus after a brief time the convicts Can be released and have every inducement to get out ot the country. Jfot infrequently a judge will actually withhold punishment, on condition tint tbe indi vidual shall consent to go to the United States. Paupers Decreasing In England. In 1665 the paupers in England and 7ales numbered 47 in every 1,000 of popu lation. At present they are counted at only 23 in 1,000. This reduction ol more than one-half has been accomplished by sending persons of this class to the United States. Obviously, when a charge on the community can be got rid of forever at a cost ot only 51V 50 to 520 for a passage across the ocean, it is much cheaper than to support that indiri!ual for the rest of his or her life. Lord Derby says: "With a population already congested and rronineat the rate of 1,500,000 a year, England must be an emigratine country. To dispose ot the growing swarms of the poorer classes is not only a matter of hu manity, but one also of public safety. Safety, that is to say, (or England, but cer tainly a peril for the United States. Cardi nal Manning says that "one of England's greatest blessings is her ability to get rid of her pauper classes through emigration." America, of course, can be reached far more cheaply than any other country available for the purpose. Under these circumstances it is not sur prising to learn that 40 per cent of the per sons at gresent confined in the jails and asylums of the United States are foreigners. In Xew England the percentage rises to 75 per cent. Allegheny Held Up As An Example. During the year 1891 there were 58 homi cides in Allegheny county, Pa., according to statistics here. All of them were com mitted by aliens or naturalized foreigners. Italy contribute the greatest number of Immigrants to our shores. Five thousand murders occur annually in that country. These people bring hither their secret society organizations, such as the Mafia, the objects of which are murder, highway robbery, blackmail, theft, and all other Crimea More than 150,000 of them come overvearly. Great numbers of them re turn to Italy every autumn and come back again in the" spring. They can pay iares both ways, spend four months in idleness at home and yet earn in the season they spend in tbe United States more than double what they could if they worked in their native land all the year round. There are 22,000,000 of these un desirable foreigners in Italy now, who may be said to be on the point of emigration to the United States. They tate nearly all of their earnings back home with them, being content to live while here in the meanest and most degraded fashion. Let anybody who wants to see how this sort of thing works go to the coal fields of Pennsylvania and seethe towns and villages which be fore the advent of this alien horde were in habited bv American workingmen and their families in comfortable circumstances. To-day all is changed. The American citizen is gone, and the home of his family is the shelter ot irora 10 to 20 men, with one or two women to cook for them. These for eigners have driTen out the Americans be cause their labor is cheaper. They work under the "store" slavery system, and the manager of the company employing them I u agent for eeTeral lint ol steamers, im porting laborers from abroad in any desired numbers by means of prepaid tickets. If this system is to be continued a few years from now the American workingman will have to be content with one room for bis family, and will be compelled to live under the same poverty-stricken circumstances as govern the condition of lDor in foreign countries. Responsibility of Steamship Companies. Became the tejiuhin lines have found the transportation of immigrants a vastly prontaoie Dusmess, meynaveaaopiea cicij possible means to induce the most poverty stricken and least desirable clashes ot for eigners to come to this country. The Ham burg Packet Companv, which brought Asiatic cholera hither last year, alone em ploys 265 vessels in this traffic Four thousand sub-agents in Italy are engaged 'in drumming up emigrants and persuading them to embark, and these agents utilize the services of countless runners to assist them, receiving 52 for each emigrant. Folders printed for advertising purposes by railways in the United States are distributed broadcast, stating that millions of square miles of land are to be had for nothing in Dakota and elsewhere. Pamphlets are similarly circulated, set ting forthithe wonderful resources of Amer ica, and on the maps accompanying them the swamps of Florida and the alkali beds of the "West look as well as the moat fertile lands. The ignorant people are led to be lieve that each one of them can become the owner of 160 productive acres by simply squatting on it, and that crapes grow wild along the railways of Texas. Thev are told that they will be boarded and lodged at Castle Garden until work is found for them by the immigration official", whose business it is to supply them with employ ment. - Beaching New York without a penny, immigrants in general who are bound lor such distant points as Portland; Ore., or Bismarck, Dak., usually suppose that those localities are within easy walking distance. On discovering the swindle of which they have beeil the victims, they turn to the crowded centers of population. " Tbe Foorer the Easier to Come. There is no foreign pauper so poor as not to be able to get to America. The more hopelessly poverty stricken he is, the more inclined will be the alleged charitable or ganizations to send him across the water 1 and so get rid of him. The nations of EuroDe are literallv dumninir their jails. pqorhouses and asylums on the shores of the United States. Such a system is one of the greatest economy from their point of view. These troubles which European Govern ments are trying to shift off on the United States by sending hither their povertr stricken and diseased people are caused wholly by the twin evils of landlordism and militarism. Nearly all of the land being in tlie hands of the few, the many have been growing steadily poorer, oppressed as they are by taxes for the sunnort.of great armies and navies Consider, if you please, that the Bussian army has a peace looting of 074,000 men and a war footing of 2,733,000 men, costing 5138,000,000 annually. Pauper Italy has an armv comprising 730,000 men in time of peace, 1,718,000 men in war, and costing 543,000,000 a year. The German armv has a peace looting of 445,500 men, a war footing of 1 492,000 men, and costs 593,000,000 annually. The army of France has 503,000 men in peace, 3,753,000 men in war, and costs 5114,000,000 a year. Compare with the above statement the fact that the armv of the United States num bers only 25,745 in peace, including officers, with a war tootincr of 3,165,000, and costing 540,463,000 annually. These reckonings do not include the navies of the various coun tries mentioned Of 'course, each soldier must wear good clothes and be well fed for year, during which he produces nothing, being supported by the industrial people. These causes have so impoverished Europe that the situation there is becoming exceedingly alarming, in ixinaon me iear of an uprising by the very poor has become so ereat that merchants along the Strand and other great shopping streets have their J wmaows protected dv iron suimers. Europe has reached the starvation line, which cannot be passed without a tremend--ous social convulsion. Nearly a Million a Tear. The number of immigrants who come to the United States from abroad is reckoned officially at 600,0000 annually. In reality it is nearly 1,000,00a When it is consid ered that two children are commonly counted as one person, that the steamers bring many people over and above their lawful complement who are sot putdowu in the manifesto, that the companies land large forces who are designated lor tbe sake of convenience as stewards or employes, that tramp steamers fetch thousands to smaller ports whose arrival, are never counted, that great numbers come in the second cabin and are not reckoned as immi grants on that account, aud finally that as sisted paupers sent via Canada are continu ally swarming over the border into the United States when all these unquestioned facts are taken into account it will be seen that the maximum estimate is not too large. Immigration Commissioner Schulteis, who has made a most diligent and profound study of this question, expresses the opinion that, if things should be permitted to continue as at present, within 15 years from now poverty would be as pievalent in the United States as it is in Europe. The notion popularly entertained that there is an almost unlimited area of unoccupied lands in this country for immigrants to make their homes upon is wholly an error. Ad a matter of fact, the unoccupied lands available for agriculture within the limits of Uncle Sam's domain are nearly all in the hands of railways and speculators. They hold it at good prices'and paupers from Europe cannot afford to buy it, A Drain on Oar Resources. It is true that the people of the United States support no great army and navy, bat they actually pay more money annually for war than does Bussia, or Itally, or Ger many, or France, the pension list already involving an expenditure amounting to very nearly 5200,000,000 a year. Because the imported paupers cannot pay for lands they sit down in the industrial centers and compete in a manner that is ruinous with American labor. As soon as Congress convenes a flood of bills will be ofiered ior the restriction of this eviL The Commissioners of Immigra tion have recommended in their report the appointment by tbe Government of inspec tors of immigration to reside at all im portant seaports of Europe whence emi grants embark. Thev suggest that three resident officials might be located at Lon don, Berlin and Naples, with local agents under their direction at the principal ports of embarkation. It would be the duty of these agents to furnish credentials to desir able emigrants, rejecting the undesirable and thus sifting tbem before they started for America. The present system of inspection at United States ports, which is wretchedly defective, should be reorganized, and it should be supplemented by the adoption of a similar system along the Canadian and Mexican frontiers. It is further urged that a protective per capita tax should be placed on all immigrants, aud certain reforms should be made, in the regulations govern ing tne transportation oi immigrants.

AN UNEXPLAINABLE GIFT. Numerous Authenticated Storiei of His BemartaMa fckllL EXPERIENCE OF A WASHINGTON WRITER From the Wuhl n jrton Post. "Look back of you three seats," said my friend Judge Goodspeed just before the limited express from Boston pulled out of the Providence depot "You see that gen tleman with glasses putting on his travel ing cap?" "Yet, I see him, he has a look between the eyes similar to that of Beecher, Bob Ingersoll and Edison. Who is he?" "Well, sir, he is one of the best known men in New England, if not in the country. He is one of the most brilliant, brainy and remarkable men of his age." By this time I was full of curiosity and wanted to know first who he was, and sec ond all about him. The Judge, in a cool and contrary mood, replied: "I will first tell you about him, then I will tell you who be is. He is a young man somewhere about the forties. He is a practicing physician and enjoys, as is generally conceded, the largest practice of any physician in the world. In his uni versity course he was admitted for the law, for medicine and the ministry, and a lew minutes' conversation with him would satisfy yon he was well qualified for either. "As an orator he has no superior in the land, he is logical in his reasoning and irresistible in his appeals. He is the man ot whom Hon. M. C. Kerr, ex-Speaker of the House of Bepresentatives, said, 'he did not believe an American jury could be found who would hang a man it he had the opening or closing speech.' when heap pears before the Legislature for or against a measure it is a signal iora crowd that no ball iu the' State House could hold. He appeared against a measure before the Massachusetts Legislature a few years aco. The bill was represented by the ablest counsel in the State. The committee were known to bo favorable to the bill, with perhaps one exception. When the bill came up for hearing numerons counsel for the petitioners responded. Then this gen tleman arose, and stepping forward, said: 'Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the judi ciary committee, I appear for the re monstrants.' This remark was applauded for it meant to the audience an oratorical duel to the death. After the petitioners had presented their side of the case, and everybody thought the bill as good as passed, this gentleman for three hours ar gued against the bill. He presented his side of the case in such a light that it looked as though a disgraceful, infamous and outrageous law was being forced upon the State. His sarcasm at times was so severe that one felt pity for his opponent regardless of their feelings in the matter. One minute the whole house would be con vulsed with laughterand the next every eye would be moistened with tears. Over many of his eloquent climaxes his bitterest op ponents would cheer loudly, forgetting what they were doing. I need only add that the committee voted against the bill without any delay. "I started out to say," continued the judge, "that he was as a physician disap pointed and disgusted with the ordinary methods of practice that made a specialty ot chronic diseases. He has broken away from tbe old methods, using, as he states, the good from every school and the good outside of all sohools. He is a man of means, and consequently has everything that money can purchase to aid him in his practice. He has enjoyed an extensive practice; and had an extended and varied experience. He is a man of travel, re search and broad education. His special ties are said to be' cancer, consumption, tumor4 paralyjis, rheumatism, 'heart and nerve diseases. .These he seems to treat with wonderful success, and his friends affirm that he will cure patient of these malignant diseases who aro given np by other methods ot practice to die. "I have understood from the most relia ble authotity that he averages upward ;of 13,000 patients nnder his care all the time. He has several physician in his employ, and all the facilities necessary for a great and extended practice "Young as he is, it is safe to say he is the highest authority in the East oil chronic diseases. There is nothing higher in all thiscountrv: If he says a man will die he is pretty sure to die, but the' hope for the sick ra an who goes to him lies in this, that he seldom thinks a sick man incurable, and to him they seldom are; when other phy sicians pronounce heir cases incurable, he will take them and cure tbem in the most astohishinsr and' miraculous way. Many people in New England believe 'his cures are miraculous though he stoutly denies that they are anything of tbe kind while he refrains from saying how he performs these most wonderiul cures. "But, Judge, you have not told 'me who he is" "He is Dr. B. a, Flower, of Boston." "You don't mean to tell me that this 1 Dr. B. C. Flower, of Boston, who several years ago startled the world by curing, in apparently miraculous way, the President ot the Pennsylvania Bailroad, also Joseph Jefferson, the great actor?" "The same man." "Why, I thought he was an old man!" "Evervbody thinks so." "But how old is he?" "I don't know. I told you I thought he was about the forties. He may be a thou sand for aught I know, but he only looks like a boy." "Well, Judge, how do you come to know so much about Dr. "Flower?" ' "Well, sir, I will tell you. There was a time I disbelieved everything I heard about him, being prejudiced, I presume, against him, but I had a friend, one very near and dear to me, who was taken down with quick consumption. He was a man of ample means and tried the best physi cians the world produced, but he grew worse rapidly. His physician! told him finally there was no hope for him to set his house in order, that he could not live more than six or eight weeks at tbe best, and as most of his family had died with consumption, we accepted their opinion as the ultimatum. As a last resort, to pass awstj the hours of the death watch he went to see Ur. Jflower. The doctor told him that it was his opinion that he cpuld cure him, though it would take several months to do it. So favorably did tbe doctor im press my friend aud his wife that they re turned home believing he would get well, end, strange to say, that man, almost in' the throes of death, a feeble skeleton, arose into health as if touched by a charmed scepter, and to-day h is a well man. "Shortly after this occurrence my step daughter had a cancer come in her lelt breast It developed very rapidlv. Her family physician sent her to a specialist in New York. He pronounced it malignant cancer, and that he could do nothing for her. She then visited Dr. Agnew or Phil adelphia, who told her husband that he coeld cut it out, but it would come again and that there was no cure for her. As a last resort she consulted Dr. B. C. Flower. The doctor told her he would rather not take the case, " That means,' said the woman bursting Into tears, 'that you do not think I will get well.' "This remark seemed to disturb the doc tor. 'Is your life of very,great importance or consequence to your family?' " 'I have a sick husband and fcur little girls my God! To leave them without a mother and almost orphans, nearly kills me.' "This was more than he could stand; big tears filled his large, gray eyes. Don't cry, my poor child, I will cure you of this disease. I will stand between 'you and death until your children are grown. By tbe help of God and the power I possess, I will cure you.' 'JJ said tab m If ho jseant It, and I gum PirjSBUKG DISPATCH." he did, for at the end of nine months, that woman was a well woman and has been so to this dav. "About this time I joined a society for psychological and scientific research. Soxe of Dr. Flower's cures were so suggestive of the occult, and his examinations so strange that it was decided by our society to in vestigate his claims and practices. I was made the chairman of the committee ap pointed to make the investigation. After months of research we arrived at the fol lowing conclusions: First, that Dr. BC. Flower possesses an intuitional p'ower or gift which enables him to diagnose any person's disease in detail and accurately without asking any questions. Second, that be possesses an abilitv in the treat ment of chronic diseases which is phenom enal Third, that his methods are different from those of ordinary practice and pe culiarly his own." Here is what some of the most prominent people of the East say about Dr. Flower, being a part of our investigations: Mrs. Mary E. Young, of 92 Harlow street, Bangor, Me., says "on the 14th of December, 1891, my little girl wasTgiren up as Incur able with typhoid fever. After everv hope was abandoned, and she siiikinc through the last change, I telegraphed Dr. B. C. Flower the situation and asked him to save her. He telegraphed that he would do so. that he would stand between my child and death, and for me not to fear and he did in the most wonderful way she improved, just as he said she would. We all feel that she was brought back to life. I don't know how ha performed the cure, I only know he did so." Hon. J. D. Hopkins, of Ellsworth, Me., a prominent politician as well as business man, said: "I regard Dr. B. C Flower, of Boston, the most remarkable, brainy apd brilliant physician of this age. My wife and I consulted him some months ago, since which time we have been treated bv him and cured. I need not go into the details of our troubles; they were serious, but he has removed them. I can't say when I have felt better than I do now, not only cured but I seem to have returned to my youth. Dr. Flower cured a neighbor o'f mine in tbe same wonderful and marvel ous way, when given up to die of a very ugly internal cancer. 1 know many of his patients and thev all hold him in the same high esteem we do. "When Mrs. Hopkins and I went to see him he told us our diseases in detail without asking a single question. It is justas easy for him to read the inside of a man and tell him all about hinuelf as it is to read a book. It would seem that his ability to thus examine his patients was nothing less than a divine gilt" Dr. Brooks, of Brook & Evans, a promi nent dentist of Portland, Me., said: "I am an admirer of Dr. K. C. Flower.- I con sider him the ablest physician of the age. Why, sir. he can tell'a sick person his disease without knowing anything about him or asking him a question, just as easy as he would read his name. He has most successfully treated and cured me of a very serious and dangerous internal trouble which threatened not only my im mediate health, but life. I was almost in capacitated for work, was wasting away and rapidly losing ray strength. Under his treatment I sprang into health, have gained in strength and flesh, and am now young again. Dr. Flower is to me a marvel, an unsolved wonder. He is the most fascin ating and genial man you ever saw. He is quick and brilliant, and it makes one feel well and young to talk with him." Mrs. Fry, of 198 Oak stieer, Lewiston, Me , said: "You see that little girl. For several years she was troubled with a growth.in her nose which had been gradu ally filling it up. We frequently had to have it partially nmovea so she could breath. The last year it grew rapidly worse and assumed a malignant phase. AVe were advised to have r.n extended operation as the only thine that could ave her health and life, and with no certainty that it would be successful. Dreading such an operation, mv husband took our daughter to Dr. B. C Flower. The doctor looked at the child a moment, put his hand on her nose, then turning to her father said: 'Your child will get well now: she will never have any more trouble.. And .sure enough," continued i Mrs. Fry, "this monstrous di seased growth faded away, entirely disap peared, and the little girl has been in per fect health ever since." , Some six years ago Dr. Flower perma nently cured'Mrs. John L. Home, of Nor way, Me., ot an internal fibroid cancerous growth, ,after the second operation, and she had been pronounced incurable by the lead ing physicians of Portland, Boston and New York and had gone home to die. The Home family are so prominent in Maine that a cure like this speaks well for the ability of the physician. Several years ago Mrs. A. G. Thompson, of the Filth Avenue Hotel, New York City (now of Pittsfield, N. H.),was treated and cured by Dr. B. C. Flower of a blood trouble, or which the leading specialist of pevr xorlc uity said it was not only incur able, but that no human power could give her relief. She has been in perfect health ever since. In the same wonderful war did Dr. Flower cure Mrs.' Bond, wife ot Hiram Bond, a prominent manufacturer of Haver hill, Mass., alter she had been pronounced incurable by the leading physicians and surgeons of Boston, and after .unsuccessful operations.' Ex-Governor Bishop, of Cincinnattl, says: "Dr. B. C Flower is the greatest physician on this earth. If there is such a thing as a man being inspired, he is. You cannot talk to him without feeling better. He cures the most desperate cases in a mys terious and wonderful way." Hon. J. Willard Bice, of Boston, brother of ex-Governor Bice, says: "Dr. K. C Flower is the most interesting and fascin ating gentleman I ever knew, and is the greatest doctor in the world. I have known him (a cure several in the most wonderful and speedy manner, when by other physi cians they were pronounced incurable and in the throes of death." A. A. Bowe, Esq., a prominent business man of Boston, was cured 11 years ago by Dr. R. C Flower in a speedy and almost instantaneous manner of nervous prostra tion when all' hope of his restoration had been abandoned, ..tie nas enjoyed good health ever since. Dr. Flower removed from the breast of Mrs. Brewster, of 29 Thompson street, Springfield, Mass. (her husband is a prom inent business man of New England), ten years ago, a monstrous cancer without the knife, and without drawing blood. No sign of tbe disease since, and the woman in perfect health. , F. N. Turner, of New Britain, Conn., says: "I have been given up to die by five physicians, who pronounced my disease in curable consumption. I was" directed to Dr. B. C. Flower by a young lady whom he had cured. As scon as he saw me he went back info my life and told me all the phases of my trouble. When I went to him I did not expect to get well, but when I left him I felt in my soul that I should be cured. He inspires the sick with hope, as nobody else can. Well, I placed myself under his treatment, I began to Im prove at once, and in a few months was well." Mrs. Edwin 'Norton, of Essex, Conn., says: "Dr. B. C Flower cured me of the most dreadlul sloniach aDd heart trouble woman ever had, also of nervous prostra tion. I had been a dreadful sufferer for over 2 years, had doctored with numerous physicians without benefit Began to im prove immediately under Dr. Flower's "treatment and in a few months was cured." , "A wonderful array of testimony I must admit.

"You are right; but how did you know it?" "You have a newspaper pulse," was his careless reply, as he turned to his book. "Good afternoon, nir." "I will give it up, Judge." I said.
