His Last Hope Realized.
From tlio Sontlnol, Clobo, Mont,
In the first opening of Oklaho
ma to settlors in 1889, the editor
<if this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one flue day m April.
During his traveling about and
lifberward his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very se
vere diarrhoea which it seemed
Almost impossible to oheck, and
Along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day
cue of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain’s
Oolic Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was roll
ing about on the ground in great
•agony, and in a few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good of-
tfeot of the medicine was soon no
ticed aud within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight. That one
aittle bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests

ple inhabiting the United States,
the number of childreu attending
school, the illiterates, the num
ber of each sex, the married, sin
gle, widowed, those engaged in
professions and vocations, aud
kindrod statistics, will prove of
interest to the reading public.
We conceive it to be important to
know what our people are doing
ill this busy, progressive land and
the proportion engaged in certain
lines of work. A people who have
made this country so great are
worthy of discussion.
The last census shows a total
population of 75,994,575—88,816,-
448 males aud 87,178,127 females.
There were 60,595,879 native
whites and 10,21.8,817 foreign
born. The number of males up
to ten years of age were 26,827,-
981, and those at least 15 aggre
gated 22,808,628.
The whits males of school age—
5 to 20 years—are put down us
18,048,587, the females, 12,993,-
408. The whites made a total of
22,441,947; the negro, 3,499,187.
Those attending school counted
up 6,608,828 males and 6,698,824
females. The white race num
bered 22,281,094, while the negro
enrollment waB 1,090,784. These
figures ure taken from the cen
sus report of 1900. The number
of illiterates at least 10 years of
age was 8,011,224 males and 3,168-
845 females. There were 8,200,-
746 whites, aud 2,858,194 negroes
classed as illiterate. Ranging
from 25 to- 44 years of age, there
resided in the United States 2,137,-
009 people classified as illiterate.
The rather astonishing figures
of 1,249,897 are given as represent
ing the number of illiterate males
of voting age. The negroes of
this class numbered 976,610, or
47.4 per cent. The percentage of
the whites is placed at 6.6. The
foreign born males of voting age
were 5,010,286. The Germans
lead, with 1;827,485; the English
second, with 757,894; the Irsh
third, 721,871, and the Swedes
fourth, 298,898; Italians fifth,
252,584; French Bixth, 219.497.
There wore 10,881,765 engaged

The foreign born population is
not iuoluded in the above stated
figures.
The statistics quoted tell us the
condition, state and relation of
our population. There is food
for thought in thei* reading.

Instructions have been issued
by the Navy Department to re
cruiting officers to be careful not
to paint the life of the naval sail
or in too nfauy colors. Investi
gation has led to the conclusion
that the large number of deser
tions from American war vessels
in the past year are due in no
small measure to disappointment.
The new men expect a great deal
more than they find on the ships
and feel that they have been de
ceived.
“I have been troubled for some
time with iudigestion and sour

The Menace of Immigration.
Cinoinnats Enquirer.
Even more threatening than the
numbers arriving now and for
some time past is their charac
ter. They are largely from South
ern Italy aud the Mediterranean
countries, illiterate, superstitious,
pauperized and degraded, with no
knowledge of or regard for our
institutions; treacherous aud tur
bulent, they have brought us an
archy, the Mafia and vastly low
ered the general capacity and
standing of our people. In the
old days our President went about
as securely as a private citizen;
now he must be followed and
watched always by Secret-Service
men. Monstrous plots to mur
der rulers are hatched in our
midst, our own President slain,
aud crime and disorder spread
broadcast.
An effective check can be put
on the coining of illiterates by
passing a law requiring ability to
read and write, which was unfor
tunately stricken out of the Sen
ate bill at the last session. That
would bar more than half of the
most objectionable immigrants.
If that is not sufficient we might
terminate our treaties with the
countries from which the danger
ous classes immigrate.
We have turned buck the yel
low peril which menaced us from
the far East. Let us deal prompt
ly and no less thoroughly and ef
fectually with the composite one,
which is already upon us from
over seas. Beat the long roll and
man the works against the inva
ders—it is none too soon.
, President Roosevelt seems to
have so commended himself to
the machine managers of his par
ty as to be reasonably certain of
the presidential nomination in
1904. The only way iu which a
Republican candidate for the
presidency can thus approve him
self is by surrendering to machine
influence and submitting to ma
chine control of his policies.
This is a pretty stiff price for Mr.
Roosevelt to pay, remembering
his strenuous autimachine atti
tude of past years, but he has ev
idently made up his mind that he
would rather be President than
consistent.—-St. Louis Republic.
The British House of Lords has
long since cea3ed to be a strictly
hereditary body. Over 200 of its
500 members owe their presence
to other causes than descent.
Quite a number of the hereditary
lords are debarred from voting by
the fact that they are either mi
nors, undischarged bankrupts or
inmates of lunatic asylums. The
lion-hereditary lords comprise the
archbishops aud bishops of the
Church of England and those
who have been created peers by
Queen Victoria aud King Edward
for special services rendered by
the crown.
Worst of All Experiences.
Can anything be worse than to
feel that every minute will be
your last? Such was the experi
ence of Mrs. S H. Newsou, Deca
tur, Ala. “For three years” she
writes, “I endured insufferable
pain from indigestion, stomach
and bowel trouble. Death seem
ed inevitable when doctors and
all remedies failed. At length I
was induced to try Electric Bit
ters aud the result was miracu
lous. I improved at once and
now I am completely recovered.”
