Dcewo the last decado thero has
teen such a remarkable Increaso in
Immigration that tho number annually
added to tho population from this
source alone Is stated to be 517021
and In the ten years amounted to 3308
per cent of the entire previous arrivals

Wucr the leaders of tho Mormon
jartyln Utah suddenlyt me forward
jndJWoJess that they dv
lapport suitable men for oXcc without
any regard to religious belief and
that they have no desire to exercise
political control over tho members of
the Mormon church It Is time for tho
people of this country to fear tha
Greeks Dearie < gi ti
SrcDEirra seta to thirk that a
bruised and shattered asat omy is In
dUpcnslbletn the acquisition of knowl-
edge Docs a student with his knee-
cap kicked off and his noso spread out
over his face acquire a knowledge of
Latin and Greek more readily than
the student who ha3 not broken a bone
In his hide Docs an unjolnted hip or
ava assortment of shattered ribs help
ths student cuter the Intricacies of

1 The Gentile clement in Utah will
tnake a fatal mistake If It gives up Its
urbanization or is tempted to weaken
Us ranks by listening to tho seductive
promises of tho cunning Mormon
helrurehy Its conversion to decency
tatoo swift and spontaneous to bo ac
cepted This camo hierarchy is work
lag too Industriously to secure converts
and add to the Mormon population to
moke ous believe tho church has no
desire to control politios
Wuex tho European finds tnat his
government has laid a tax to keep him
at homo he will suspect that ho is
wanted for the performance of gome
disagreeable task such as fightin
and he will Imagine the prospects
abroad to be better than he had ever
supposed and therefore will bo all tho
more eager to leave There is no dan
ger that we will not get all the indus-
trious andlawabidlng immigrants we
need in spite of any tax that European
governments will venture to impose
What we need are educational insti
tutions of a practical character A
Khool of industrial art for example
soald do more good than all the
foreign or American made monument
which con be erected for some time As
long as skilled artisans for Important
Industries have to be imported from
abroid art monuments will be a sham
In American cities Let the American
nation become a leader In industrial
practical art before the American
cities attempt to become customers fox
sculptors
The American government is the
product of centuries of evolution In
ppliUcathe result of the thought of all
post ages In our country having cow
passed the critical period o its histo
ry progress Is preeminent Chemis-
try may resolve the physical universe
into its elements but what magic art
has analyzed a single human emotion
Biology may trace the descent of tpe
cies and reTeal a plausible evolution
but who has found the garm of beingF
Already tho eyes of the work oro upon
the AngloSaxon In him Is recog
nized the exponent of liberty the ad
vocate of moral reform tho inaugura
tor of true philanthropic spirit and
the defender o the right3 of Christen

Democrat a Send in human guise has
Invented on electrical alarm that will

set it at night and then change bis

device Is isoxorablo The iron who
sets it must get up at the hour speci
tti unless ho has previously died in

ancient justice should be applied to its
inventor He should bo compelled to
have one of his own clocks setting at

Inmates of juvenile reformatories In
theUnlted States and relatively small
as our foreign born population is sta-
tistics just published by tho census
oHco show that of the 9078 whose
birth place and parentage ore known
the foreign population of tho country
contributes directly or indirectly in
the persons of tbo foreign born or their
immediate descendants 58516to the
population of the juvenile reforma-
tories whilo the entire native papula
tion contributes only 87365 Former
bulletins relative to penitentiaries had
shown that about onethl d of tho in-
mates of state prisons and peniten-
tiaries belong to tho foreign bonx ele-

SMOTE WITH POWER
X Faaoeful Uso to Which DynamUa
Tat
Among the many now uses to which
gunpowder and other high explosives
havo been applied recently Is that of
ungraving By means of the force
goneratcd by tho douaton cf those
articles the Unes of uolicate hsu
grass and Insects havo betP impressed
oa tho servico of tho hardest iron pro-
curable in tho space of half a second
By old processes hours wcro consumed
whero machinery va ue1 nnd any at-
tempt was made to secure a tistie re-
sults and days where manuaitors re-
sorted to hand work
Many recent expcirieits have been
made mostly by officer cf tho army
nnd navy which hair mor trated
tao efficiency of the meti
At Newport a few week 70 a heavy
chargo of dynamite ias cvploded by
sevoral officers who wot d > legated
by tho government to t st a low meth-
od of electricity in fuses sat s ho Xew
York Herald
Somehow a small dried loa withou
tho knowledge of tho oGiecs bad
slipped in between tho dynamite car-
tridge aad the iron block from which
the charge had been fired
When the experiment had beea com-
pleted the officers wcro surprised to
find tho perfect imprint of a leaf in tho
iron Tho mo t delicate linrs were
reproduced with startling distinctness
A scries of experiments which wero
attended with remarkable success
followed
One ot tho officers who made tho
first experiments is now 13 the city
ind be cavo an account of his discov-
eries when 1 saw him at tn ufowa
Hotel tho other night
I was rather surprised to find that
It was possible to reproduce tho out-
lines of pcrishablo articles upon tha
surface of iron bv means of oxplo
iives said he and was at first skep-
tical although I had often heard that
a candle could be fired through an oslc
plankWhen
When wo found tho imprint of tin
leaf we made sevoral similar tests
They took place at tho torpedo
station in Newport Wo placed sev-
eral leaves and Cowers between two
plates of boiler iron and then fired
a moderate chargo of dynamite on the
upper plate t
The exact outlines with even tue
veins in the petals of the flowers wero
reproduced on the hard metaL
Other and more cxtonded experi-
ments wero attended with similar re-
sult
Another singular fact is that when
exploded under the water the imprints
are much Dnir than those produced in
the open air Frequently when a wad
of gun cotton is exploded beneath the
surface of the water the explosives
will sink into the iron foundations so
deep that tho sunken words and fig-
ures will bo reproduced In raised char-
acters on Iron
Several manufacturers have followed
tho cxamplo set by tho officers and
some day probably dynamito will bo
put in practical use as an engraver
Vendettas In the lMiUlpplne
Blood vengance is a sacred law with
the Quianganes If one plebeian is
killed by another the matter Is settled
in a simple manner by killing tha
murderer or somo ono of bis family
who is likewise a plebeian But if a
prominent man or noble is killed by a
plebeian vongoance on tho murderer a
mere plebeian is not enough the victim
of the sinoffering must bo an equivalent
in rank Another nobleman must fall
for the murdo ed noble for their doc-
trine is what kVnd of an equivalent k-
it to kill someone who is no bctteri
than a dog Hence the family of the
slain noblo looks around to see It
it cannot find a relative of the murder-
er to wreck vengeanco upon who is
also a noble while the murderer him-
self is ignored If no noble can be
found among his relatives the family
of the murdered man wait patiently
till some one of them is rceived into
tho nobles caste then thi venuetta is
prosecuted although many years may
have elapsed When the blood feud
is satisfied a reconciliation of the con-
tending factions takes place In alb
tho feuds the heads of tho murdered
champions are cut off and aken home
and tho head hunters c iebrcte the
affair festally The skul s r e Ixed to
tho front of the house
