The statement issued by the gov ernment bureau of statistics shows that during the ten months ended April 30, 1891, 401,230 immigrants arrived in the United States, exclu sive of arrivals from the British North American possessions and Mexico; and for the four months ended April 30, 1891, 171,049. The average daily arrival for the four months in question was almost 1,500 or an immigrant every minute in the twenty-four hours. There is something wrong with our immi grant laws or the way they are en forced when this wholesale unload ing of foreigners on this country is allowed togo on month after month and year alter year. It is safe to say that both the law and the methods of enforcing it are both de cidedly defective. It is apparent to all that the hospitality extended by the United Statos to the people of other countries is woefully absurd. Vigorous and practical legislation is needed to correct this and the soon er it is enacted the better it will be for the United States. That the landing of each day of 1,500 men, of whatsoever sort and condition, is dangerous to our social and indus trial peace has long since been de monstrated. It is fair to presume that a large proportion of this num ber has been unsuccessful in life in their own countries, and that they will bo far from successful in this country. A greater percentage of them are ignorant, stupid or vicious and belong to a class we can ill af ford to welcome to our shores. They were failures at home and they con tinue failures here. Chicago Globe. Ex-Congressman Owen, of Indi ana, the newly appointed head of the Bureau of Immigration of the Treasury department, created by the bill passed by the last Congress, and of which he was the author, ought certainly to make a good offi cial, as he has for a long time given his attention almost exclusively to immigration matter; but owing to the defective condition of our laws on this subject it is not thought that a great deal can be accomplish ed at present. The new bureau can at least gather information that will enable Congress to intelligently legislato on this most important subject in the future. Everybody is interested in shutting out the idle, the vicious, the pauper and the unproductive immigrants; and it is only necessary to find a way to do it without injury to the interest of the honest, industrious immigrant who wishes to enjoj' the boon of American citizenship, to secure the approval ot nine-tenths of our peo ple- The Third Quo rteriy Convention of the V/-C, T.

The trainmen have come to our town to board. Sonestown is still moving on with its various enterprises. Magargle Bros, are still putting in more goods in their store. Samuel Boone is opening up his store. Look out for goods now. Alex Hess has his house under roof and are laying floor etc., now. Our friend Lorah lias shipped a car load of excelsior from his fac tory. Wc wish our town had a barber ■ shop. Some one said Samuel Boone i was going to shave and shear. i We had a fino rain last week which , did much good, and made crops , look much better in a short time. J Geo. W. Simmons is pushing his ( house to completion as fast as good work can be done. He is going to have a fine house. ' M. L. Keller of Light Street, Pa., and formerly the agent at the R. R. ' station at Sonestown, is in town. Glad to see you Morris. ■ Bodine & Warn are stocking their ! store fuller than ever, and will, we C think, sell as cheap as any. They have a sign up "any thing U want ' and don't see, ask 4 it." X. I) USIIOIiE ITEMS. i W. L. Johnson spent Sunday and | r Monday at Lopez. i Onr street sprinkling pumps are a 112 great convenience just now. i Milk shake has become a popular . drink in Dushore. Geo. Deegan , has it. This is what might bo called hot weather. The thermometer register ed 90 degrees in the shade. Mon day afternoon. ' Posters are out announceing the ' Lutheran picnic in Cronin's grove - July 4th. The Dushore Cornet j Band will furnish music. , All crops will be short in this i section owing to the dry weather. Especially hay and oats. Fruit will be a fair crop except cherries. y A cool and refreshing shower passed over this place Tuesday, ' which will benefit crops much and 5 left the atmosphere more tolerable. A church fair will be held in " Garey's hall for the benefit of the i Reformed church on Thursday, Fri [ day and Saturday, the 25, 2G and 27 of this month. ; Work on the new Lutheran church is progressing quite rapidly and wc are in hopes the building will be s completed before cold weather. It ; will be a large edifice. ' Two families moved to town last > week; one into Ed Stcafather's 112 house near the depot and one into Mrs. Lewis' house on Carpenter St. P We have not learned the names nor where thoy come from. We arc informed that the member ship of the Banryan Society a branch of which was instituted at this place a few weeks ago with about 30 mcm s bers, has dwindled down to less than (10). Many of the members re fusing to pay the extra assessments and are therefore, out all they have paid in. B. Meeker purchased a bicycle of a stranger traveling through town ' Monday and made sport for the s crowds congregated on tho street " that evening. Meeker, however, is * learning very fast and will soon be -1 come an expert. This is the second 1 bicycle in town, one high wheel and " a satety, the latter being owned by 15 Mark Scureman. The sight seers ■ are anxious for a race soon. FACARACUS. L4PORTE rOWNKIIIP mtEiIIENT, ' Philip Karge in aoiouut with LaPorte twp. !as col. of School Tax fur year ending Juno Ist IStfl. Dr. Cr.
