Immigration Commrssroner Sargent is right in his view of the public evils arising from the maintenance In this country of colonies of allens who re tain their allegiance to their^native ct :ntries and send t?ere the greater part of their earnings. Many of Italian and Hungarian immigrants do not come here to stay longer than sufficient time to acquire money which they intend to go back to Eu rope to spend, continues the Philadel phia Press. That was one great ob jection against the Chinese. It is just as objectionable in the-case of other immigrants. There should be legisla tion to discourage, as far as possible, that condition of things. Immigrants who come here without any intention of remaining are not wanted. : r TORTURING PAIN.

LEGISLATURE AND FINANCES Will the Franchise Tax Be Sufficient to Bring the Revenues up to Meet the Deficiencies? ..From a-comprehensive resume of the Legislature's work last week in. Mon lay's Columbia State we cull the fol lowing: The appropriation bill was followed by the supply bill, which provided tor an increase in the levy from 5 mills to 5 1-2. The appropriations this year will be about the same as 4ast year on account of certain in jreases, which will make up the imount set aside last year for the bampton monument, for the general election expenses and for other ex iraordinary expenditures* which will aot be duplicated this year* The total anlouht of t?x?bl? prop ?rty in the State last year was $210, 331,854. At all assessment of 5 mills che income to the State ' would be $1,051,659.27, At 5 i*2 milis the in come would b? $i,i5?}825fc2?; T? this may b? added ins?ra?ce li??rise . fees, which were $36,000 last year, fees to secretary of state, which were $14, OOO last year. This would.make a total of $1.206,825, which is even more than the appropriation bill carries. Last year the comptroller general turned into the state treasury $61,812 which had not been used out of the appropriations. In 1905 probably $40,000 will be turned back. The es timated income from the franchise tax is $75,000. It is barely possible that this amount with the estimated unexpended appropriations would be sufficient to balance the income and the expenditures for 1905 without the necessity ot the additional half mill which would bring in $105,165. Theoretically there was a deficit of $80,000 for the year 1904, although the deficit will be less than half of that amount as the $20,000 set aside for the Hampton monument was not used, and the $20,000 appropriated for "past due interest likely to accrue" was not taken up, this sum being set aside more to meet emergencies than to pay any definite claims. There were other appropriations for last year which were not entirely taken up, for the amounts appropriated are frequently ? little more than is actual ly required. This year the income of the State will be reinforced by the receipts from the franchise tax. It is all mess work as to how much this will be but if anything like $75,000 will be received, the State ought to have no deficit at the end of the year. Among the items of expense last year not included in the appropriation bill this year are the following: South Carolina college, extra ..$ 5,600 Citadel, extra . .10,000 Cedar Springs, extra. 2.50C Claims. 6,000 Hampton monument. 20,00e Repairs on Chicamauga monu ment. 2,500 Supervisors of Registration .... 6.15C General election expenses .. ..$25,00i J. M. Baker (Black papers) _ 1.00C Heating plant, governor's man sion . 1.00C Total.$79,75( But these items of saving are off set by the following new matters in eluded in the appropriation bill: Governor's office, special fund to enforce laws against lynch ing; if so much be needed..$ 2,50( Comptroller general, additional clerk for franchise tax. 1,40( Secretary of state, fireproof cases. 2,501 Militia (additional). 7,00( Treasurer, extra clerk hire_ 60( Supreme court, one stenogra pher for each justice. 2,00( State board of health, addi tional.. .. .... _ 50( Winthrop College. 8,73( Colored Colege. .. 2,50( otate hospital (including insur ance;" $6,000).'. 23,00( Clerk, historical commission .. 30( ?Fireproof cases, historical com mission. 2,50( Fireproof cases, comptroller gen eral.'. 2,501 Arithmometer, comptroller gen eral. 401 Refund loan, Gov.

To this $55,847 must be added $12, 000 for two additional judges, solici tors and stenographers; $6,000 for the State armory and $5,000 for the Stat? reformatory. These were not included in the bill as it was sent to the sen ate. These are large items of unus ual expense, as are the items aggregat ing $7,500 for steel filing cabinets foi the State house and $7,000 additiona" for the militia; and $2,000 for steno graphers for supreme court justices. The appropriations in the bili | amount to $1,148,000, which must be in creased by the three items just named in the foregoing paragraph. In ad dition to this the legislative appropri ation bill with a total of $47,000. The "appropriation bill of this yeaii contains an error in that an item is inserted for Vie governor to use $5,00C for repairs on the* State house. Thal item was copied out of a former aol which permitted the governor to make emergency repairs on the ceiling ol the State capitol in case any of il should fall down. The ceiling is then yet. There is now a State house com mission to take charge of such mat? ters and the commission is not work ing under an appropriation, but has a loan from the sinking fund cpmmis sion. Another error in the appropria tion bili is the omission therefrom ol an item for the pay of the circuil j solicitors. This amount was $12,301 last year, but will be increased th year on account ot* the two additional circuits. Kiljed By Senator's Wife. W.

'. - THE RACE PROBLEM Speech By President Roosevelt At Lincoln Dinner IS CONSERVATIVE IN EXPRESSION The Chief Executive Appeals to the North For Added r riendliness to tho South Because of Conditions For Which the South is Not Alone Re sponsible arid Makes Acknowledge ments te Cfus?d?rs Against Lynch ing- Backward Race Must be "Train ed Without Impeding Forward R?c? -Must Mairit?lri Race Purity^ New York, Special.-As the guest sf honor at the Lincoln dinner of the Republican Club in this city Monday night, President Roosevelt made a speech on th? race problem. He ap pealed to the North to make its friend ship for the South all the greater be cause of the "embarrassment of condi tions for which she is not alone re sponsible," declared that the heartiest acknowledgements are due to the min isters, law officers, grand juries,: pub lic men and "great da'ly newspapers in the South who have recently done such effective work in leading the cru sade against lynching," and said that thc problem was to "so adjust the re lations between two races of different 2thnic type, that the backward race b? trained so that it may enter into .he possession of .true freedom, while the forward race is enabled to pre serve unharmed tho high civilization wrought out by its forefathers." Among other things thc President said: / The President's Address, lu his second inaugural, in a speech which will be read as long as the mem ory of this nation endures, Abraham Lincoln closed by saying: "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; * * to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." Immediately after his re-election he had already spoken thus: "The strife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts of the case. What has oc curred in this case must ever recur in similar cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, wc shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us, therefore, study the in cidents of this as philosophy to learn wisdom from, and none of them as wrongs to be revenged. * * * May not all having a common interest re unite in a common effort to (serve) our common country? For my own part I have striven and'shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle in the way. So long as I have been here I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom. While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re-election, and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having di rected my countrymen to a righc con clusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing co my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result. "May I ask those who have not dif fered with me to join me In this same spirit toward those who have?" VICE NEGRO'S 4.RCH ENEMY. Laziness and shiftlessness, these, and above all. vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression of white men put to gether. The colored man who fails to condemn crime in another colored man, who fails to co-operate in all lawful ways to bringing colored criminals to justice, is the worst enemy of his own people, as well as an enemy to all the people. Law-abiding men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost in relentless and unceasing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race, then its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the home is vital to the welfare of the black race, as it is to the welfare of every .'race. NEIGHBORS CAN HELP MOST. In the next place, the white man, who, if only he is willing, can help the colored man more than all other white men put together, is the white man Who is his neighbor, North or South. Each of us must do his whole duty without flinching, and if that duty is national it must be done in accord ance with the principles above laid clown. But in endeavoring each to be his brother's keeper it is wise to re member that each can normally do most for the brother who is his im mediate neighbor. If we are sincere friends of the negro let each in his own locality show it by his action therein, and let us each show it also by upholding the hands oE the white man, in whatever locality who is striv ing to do justice to the poor and the helpless, to be a shield to those whose need for such a shield is great. CRUSADE AGAINST LYNCHING. The heartiest acknowledgements are due to the ministers, the judges and law officers, the grand jurors, the pub lic men and the great daily news papers in the South, who have recent ly done such effective work in leading the crusade against lynching in the South; and I am glad to say that dur ing the last three months the returns as far as they can be gathered, show a smaller number of lynchings than for any other two months during,the last twenty years. Let us uphold in every way the hands of the men who have led in this work, who are striving to do all their work in this spirit. I am about to quote from the address of the Right Reverend Robert Strange, bish op coadjutor of North Carolina, as given in the Southern Churchman of October 8, 1904: MUST MAINTAIN RACE PURITY. The bishop first enters an emphatic plea against any social intermingling of the races; a question which must, of course, be left to the people of each community to settle for themselves, as in such a matter no one community and indeed no one individual-can dic tate to any other; always provided that in each locality men keep in mind the fact that, there must bc no confusing of civil privileges with social inter course. Civil law must not regulate so cial practices. Society, as such, is a law unto itself, and will always regulate its own practices and habits. Full recognition of the fundamental fact that all. men should stand on an equal footing, as regards civil privileges, in no way interferes with recognition of the further fact that all reflecting men of both races are united in feeling that race purity must be maintained.

NE OF act in a spirit of the broadest and frankest generosity toward our broth ers, all our fellow-countrymen; in a spirit proceeding not from weakness but from strength, a spirit which takes no more account of locality than it does .of class or of creed; a spirit which is resolutely bent on seeing that the Union which Washington founded and which Lincoln saved from destruction shall grow nobler and greater through out the ages. I believe in this country with all my heart and soul. I believe that our peo ple will in the end rise level to every need, will in the end triumph ever every difficulty that rises before them. I could not have such confident faith in the destiny of this mighty people if I bad it merely as regards one portion of that people. Throughout our land things on the whole have grown better and not worse, and this is as true of one part of the country as it is of another. I believe in the Southerner as I believe in the Northerner. I claim the right to feel pride in his great qualities and in his great deeds exactly as I feel pride- in the great qualities and deeds of every other American. For weal or for woe we are knit together, and we shall go up or go down together; and I be lieve that we shall go up and not down, that we shall go forward insted of halt ing and falling back, because I have an abiding faith in the generosity, the courage, the resolution, and the com mon sense of all my countrymen. PROBLEMS WILL VANISH. The Southern States face difficult problems; and so do the Northern States. Some of the problems are the same for the entire country. Others exist in greater intensity in one sec tion; -and yet others exist in greater intensity in another section. But in the end they will all be solved; for funda mantally our people are the same throughout this land; the same in qualities of heart and brain and hand which have made this republic what it is in the great today; which will make it what it is to be in the infinitely greater tomorrow. I admire and re spect and believe in and have faith in the men and women of the South as I admire and respect and believe in and have faith in the men and women of the North. All of us alike, North erners and Southerners, Easterners and Westerners, can best p.vove our fealty to the nation's past by the way in which we do the nation's work in the present; for only thus can we be sure that our children's children shall in herit Abraham Lincoln's single-heart ed devotion to the great unchanging creed that "righteousness exalteth a nation."

Subject Mu?h Discus The Future of a Cc Stealth of Its Women/ MnT.CWilicdsen At the New York State Assembly of I Mothers, a prominent New York doctor j told the 500 women present that healthy j American women were so rare as to be almost extinct. This seems to be a sweeping- state ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well and do not h ave some trouble arising from a derange ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches, back aches, nervousness, that bearing-down feeling, painful or irregular menstrua tion, leucorrhoea, displacement of the uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or sleeplessness ? There is a tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has restored more American women to health than all other reme dies in the world. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of thc female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female com plaints. Such testimony as the following should be convincing. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "1 can truly say that you have saved my life and I cannot express mr gratitude to you in words. For two years I spent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit, for men strual irregularities and I had given up all hopes of ever being well again, but I was persuaded to try Lydia E.
