IMMIGRATION.
It Has Heen Largo ntthe Port of Now York
Duilugtho Tast Six Months.
Tho immigration to tho port of
New York from Europo during tho
past six months, or from tho opening
of May to the end of October
has beon much larger than it was
during tho corresponding poriod of
last year.
Tho immigrants landed from
May to October of this year, inclusive,
numbered very nearly 50,-000
moro than for tho samo months
of tho j'car 1894. Italy and Russia
havo sent their full sharo of this increase
Thero is oveiy reason for believing
that when tho current fiscal
year is ended in Juno next tho immigration
statistics will be much
higher than they havo been for
some years past. This estimato is
justified by tho fact that, whilo tho
arrivals for tho fiscal year 1894-'5
numbered but 190,928, those for
the past six months havo numbered
112,105. The falling off for tho
last fiscal year occurred in tho first
half of it, or in tho year 1894.
How to Kill a Newspaper.
Press and Printer informs us that
an editor who has evidenty felt
somo portion of tho process gives
tho following instructions for killing
a nowspaper: Just lot your
subscription go. It's only a dollar
or two tho publisher don't need
it. If ho asks you for it just got
as mad as you can and tell him to
stop tho "paper you never read it
anyhow. Then "goTJ3rrwyour
neighbor's. "When tho roporter
comes for news always bo busy.
Make him feel as if ho were intruding,
that your time is worth
8100 a minute. When tho advertising
and job man comes tell him
you don't need to advertise everybody
knows you; that you will try
to get along without any printed
stationery its too expensive; that
business is slack and you must
economize. Never drop in to seo
tho editor unless you want a freo
complimentary notice or a lengthy
obituary for a beloved relative.
Never recommend tho paper to
anybody. "When you speak of it
always say: "Yes, wo havo a little
sheet, but it don'tamountto much."
Keep this up for a year or two
and you will havo a dead
a dead set of merchants and
a dead town.

A Harmless (Jot ernor.
The governor of Ohio is tho only
executive in tho country who has
not the power to 'Veto. It seems
that tho Buckcyo stato has dono
business without tho provision for
years. Tho story ot how it was
abolished is interesting. Years ago
Ohio governors derived a big sharo
of their incomo from marriages, for
preforming which thoy were allowed
82 each. In tho early days that
was a largo sum, and tho exccutivo
counted this a principal sourco of
rovenue. Finally tho fee was abolished
by legislative enactment,
but tho governor's salary was sufficiently
increased to cover the fees
which wore lost. Goneral Arthur
St. Clair, who was then governor
of tho territory, veoted tho bill
abolishing tho fees and signed tho
ono raising tho governor's salary.
This performance, so tho story
goes, so angered tho people that
thoy soon afterward abolished tho
veto power and later took it out of
tho constitution.
Tho Institute Hall.
Last Thursday night the Academy
hall at Thatcher was crowded
to its utmost capacity, it being tho
dato for tho grand ball and
tendered tho teachers of Graham
Co, by tho hospitable people
of Thatcher. Tho hall was not
largo enough to hold all tho dancers
who assembled there, and it was
necessary to havo two and three
dances of each kind to accommodate
them. Not for a long
time has Thatcher had such a rigorous
pruning in a social way and
all the the residents wero fteo in
their efforts to make it a long remembered
Institute session. All
who were present report an excellent
timo and teachers especially,
recommend tho people of Thatcher
for hospitality.

what might have been a serious
accident Wcdncsdaj' evening whilo
enrouto to Solomonvillo accompanied
by Mrs. Sneddon and her
daughter Maggie. It scenis that
whilo on tho road between the
depot and Solomonville the way
beca'mo so rough that it was
thought advisable to cut off somo
of tho distance by taking a more
direct routo to the town, this however
did not provo successful, as
scarcely had the road been left
than a ditch of considerable depth
was reached. Mr. Whitney was
not aware of tho prescuco of tho
ditch, and was only apprised of
tho fact by the horses making an
effort to jump it. Of course tho
horses jumping brought tho buggy
forward with a terrible suddeness,
and Mr. Whitney was thrown
tho dash-board upon ono of
the horses and from thero fell to
tho ground, tho wheels of tho buggy
running over him directly at
the hip. Ho retained presence of
mind though, which in such cases
always is of much value, and kept
a firm hold on the reins and by
giving tho animals a stern com-'
mand to stop succeeded in regaining
his feet. It is almost a miracle
how a man as heavy as Mr. Whitney
was thrown from the buggy
whilo two ladies who wero with
him retained thoir seats.
When Mr. Whitney was thrown
from tho buggy thero being no dry
spots in tho vicinity ho was compelled,
much to his discomfiture, to
land in a pool of mud of no small
dimensions. After removing his
clothing and drying them by a fire,
and giving them a thorough dusting
and renovating ho arrived at
tho danco throe hours late.

What warrant is thero for tho
prolific prophecies that tho silver
question died on November 5th?
Just about as much as thero was
for saying after each election since
1812 that the tariff question would
be settled. Silver will continue to
be an issue until this vast element
is wiped from the face of the earth
or silver is restored to its rightful
place as a final redemption money.

cordingly tho quicker Tsiherawill
