Mr. Finnerfy, congressman
from one of the Chicago districts,
is the editor and publisher aUo of
an Irish-American weekly^ called
' The Citizen,the title motto of
which is worth}' of notice. It is as
follows : "Europe, not England, is
the Mother Country of America."
Because of the fact, controlling and
pervasive in character as it is, of
this being an English-speaking na-
tion, we are very apt to overlook the
remarkable quality and character of
the strains that have met and are
meeting in this human alembic.
All the leading countries of Europe
have poured hundreds of thousands
of»-their hardiest sons and daugh-
ters into our midst. And while the
best blood. traditions and
the ' sturdiest elements of
British civilization have dom-
inated us, until we are to-day
the foremost English-speaking com-
munity in the world, it remains
true that Europe is our real mother
country. " No pent-up Utica con-
tracts our" power to assimilate all
elements of an Aryan character.
Let us look for briefly at the facts
which indicate the European s'rains
that mingle in our vein?. In 1820,
a record was officially begun of the
-arrival of foreign immigrants. From
.January 18*20 to April 1883, a
period of G3 years, a total of about
121,000.<X)0 have landed on these
shores. Thev have -become incor-
ana, bought in the -Canton and~
other Chinese slave markets.
Is it not appropriate, therefore,
to declare in view of all these facts,
that "Europe is the mother coun-
try of America?" That does" not
either militate against all that is
noble and worthy in the primary
English strain which has marked
indelibly the vast progeny now
clustering around our Uncle
Samuel. _

The consumption of beer yester-

even the Teutonic heart. All hands
considered it their duty to irrigate

The Los Angeles Herald is in-
clined to tliink that the democratic
party is too go >d for this country.
There seems to have been a good
many others of the same opinion
during the past 23 years.
The gaming laws as contained in
the revised statutes of the state are
embodied in the city ordinances,

common council that embodied
them-as well as the city—marshal
and hv3 assistants are ignorant of
this fact.

The precaution taken by the tire :
department last night was made unrated in this republic and its
- - - • ! We have taken them all in,
or good red herring,"
as they might be. In 1820 the num-
ber of immigrants to the United
Stutes was 8,385. From that year
until 1854, when the number reach-
ed 427,833, the increae was rapid
and steady. The year 1854 was the
hij^h water mark, except in 1873
and 1882. In 18G1-'G2 the number
averaged a trifle over 89,000. From
this there was a gradual increase
until-1*73, when the record stood
459,803, being the highest point
reached up to that time. Again
the tide ebbed, the number dimin-
ishing each succeeding jear until
1878, when it reached 139,469, the
lowest figures since war time. Two
years later there came a sudden and
extraordinary increase. For 1879
the number was 177,826, while for
1880 it was 457,257, an increase of
nearly 280,000. But this in its turn
was beaten by over 200,000 in 1881,
when the number stood 669,431.
and last year the maximum figures
showing them to be 788,992.
were reached, the statistical records
It is calculated that every able-
bodied male aduit who comes to
labor, is an actual addition as he
stands, to the unskilled wealth-
producing capacity of the country
of -11,000. One may fairly calculate
on one-tliiui of the vast volume of
emigration as being of this class.
Their presence alone has in human
capacity a definite value of $4,000,-
000,000. If we put the working
women at one-third, and value their
industrial wealth-producing capa-
city at one-half that of the men, we
shall Jiave $2,000,000,000 to add.
The other third can be set down as
representing capacity to the value
at least of $1,000,000,000. These
estimates make a total in labor
value of $7,000,000,000, added
through European immigration to
our industrial capacity. Certainly
they have averaged $100 in means
per capita.- That alone has brought
to the United States $1,200,000,000.
Ireland and Germany are the two
lands from which have come the
major portion of this vast volume
of humanity. The Irish led large-
ly at first; Germany now forges
ahead. She will continue so to do
as long as the policy of "blood and
iron" is on top and to the fore.
Irish immigration has remained
almost steady in its volume during
the past ten years. The other por-
tions of Europe have forged ahead.
The following figures illustrate the
change for ten years, and also the
ebb and flow of the great tidal wave
of immigration n-yw striking the
United States, the nationalities be-
ing given in-the order" showing the
largest numbers coming in at pre-
sent :

The policy of locking the door
when ihe eteed has been stolen will j
perhaps be the policy El Paso some
fine morning will be called upon to
adopt if the citizens . do not make
up their minds to take proper pre-
cautions against fire. When the
city is in ashes, and the work of
the past few years has to be com-
menced all over sixain, it will be a
late hour in the day to take those
precautions which common sense
suggests should be taken at once.
We have on the one hand a thor-
oughly reliable, energectic and well
handled fire department, and a
good Avater supply. On the other
hand we have a class of men so ut-
terly regardless of the public safety
that they fvl their back yards with
the most inflamable material, liable i
to be tired at a moments notice b}' |
the half burned match of some
drunken tramp. Nor is that all. In
obedience to the will of this very
class of men the fire limits of the
city have been abolished, and light
wooden shanties—genuine fire feed-
ers—can be erected on the finest
streets of El Paso. All this should
stop right here. The fust duty of
the Council should be to re-estab-
lish the fire limits, and to pass
stringent ordinances against all
practices likely to involve us in a
serious conflagration. The wonder-
ful luck of yesterday and }Testerday
week will not forever attend us. We
have had two warnings, let us not
waite for the third.
