THE IMMIGRATION, PROBLEM. The time is here when it behooves the American people to give much thought and attention to the immigration question. The character of the immigrants coming to our shore has greatly changed within the last twenty years. They come to our sea-board cities and live under the same customs and in the same social and moral environment that they were accustomed to in their native country. They refuse to be assimilated into our national body or to be dominated by our true American spirit. The Chicago Tribune suggests a remedy which commends itself to the thoughtful citizen. The idea, as will be clearly seen, is to get the immigrant away from the city and 1 4 back to the soil." The Tribune says: "One satisfied immigrant anywhere in the United States is an immigration bureau unto himself. Because of his satisfaction with conditions in the Atlantic seaboard cities he is over-populating them with people of his nationality. Logically the remedy for this evil is to attract the future immigrant to the western agricultural sections, where labor is needed, and where out of his new conditions he may be led to write home of roseate prosperity and opportunity. i "This the senate committee on immigration would do in its proposed bill for the establishment of a bureau at Ellis Island, where the incoming stranger might be directed to new fields and even find help to them through state agents. Tens of thousands of these immigrants were agriculturists in Europe. But with friends in American coast cities, they have fallen in this country into the urban colony condition. Now the proposition is to take them west before they h;;ve had a taste of American city life. Let their enthusiasm rise over bucolic prospects. In a few months the grain fields of Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas will beckon for help. Turn the immigration tides westward. The city cannot digest the alien hordes. The rich prairies of the west can swallow them and clamor for more. The best foreign citizen type is found tilling the ground, working the country roads in season, and sending ::. his children to the little red school houses." The Muneie M. E. Conference made some changes, at the session just closed, that will be felt by the people of Richmond. Rev. Chamness according to the course of things, natural to the Methodist itineracy, moves on, changes from Richmond to Avondale church, Muneie, Rev. M. E. Nethercut goes to Grace church, Ivokomo. The Palladium knew Bro. Xethercut better than Bro.. Chamness and was always glad t meet hihv. Scarcely a day passed, that he yd id not, come in "with a smile and cheer 'and was always welcome. Bro. Nethercut is built on a large pattern. He is generous enough and broad enough to see good in all the churches and avoids the very appearance of sectarianism. 'V: He is a ood fellow and is able to see md appreciate the humorous things that belong to this life, yet he never descends beneath the dignity of "the cloth." While the Palladium regrets to have him leave Riehmcmd it congratulates the people of Kokomo on -the addition of such a good citizen and earnest. Christian gentleman. ; Of course everybody knows that there is absolutely no foundation in fact for the pretense that the Democratic party is the party of the people. This phrase is used for the purpose of deception and for no other, but' if anything in addition to the record of the party were needed to prove the falsity of this pretense, the conduct of the men who now hope to control the party would be sufficient. The coterie that refused to affiliate with the six millions of the party in the last two campaigns are determined to suppress the representatives of the six millions if possible. In thorough accord with this determination is the action of the state committee in fixing the date for selecting delegates to the national convention two months in advance of the state convention. There is no precedent for this but what do the reorganizes care for a little thing like that? What do they care for the actual sentiment among the voters? The actual spirit that animates the reorganizers when they think of W. J. Bryan is very well illustrated by the following from the Chicago Chronicle: "Mr. Bryan is so busy persecuting the widow Bennett of Connecticut that he probably has not yet heard how the Democrats of New York walloped his silly little understudy, Billy Hearst." This is a Democratic family affair, and we suppose we have no reason to interfere, but it does seem to us that this is unnecessarily brutal, even if Bryan and Hearst are both as evil as the reorganizers seem to think they are. Of course this is an insult to all supporters of both these men, but the average reorganizer doesn't seem to care for a thing like that. The managers of the reorganizers in Indiana are quoted as saying that they are not afraid of the Hearst movement and that on the contrary they proceed on the theory that "Hearst will hang himself if they give him enough rope." Also that they believe that if they "give Hearst plenty of time he will put himself out of the running." We suppose this is the reason they decide to select delegates to the national convention sixty days in advance of the state convention. Rev. Pierce and Rev. Marble have been highly complimented by their return to their respective churches in Richmond. This return was in response to the earnest solicitation of their congregations. These two gentlemen enjoy the love and respect of the congregations to which they minister. ' The fact is, it seems to be Candidate Parker rather than Judge Parker that is so reticent on the subject of Mr. Parker's political proclivities.

Taking Desperate Chances. It is true that many rvjnract colds and recover from the without taking any precaution or tro.W.ent, an-'i n knowledge of this fact lends others lo take their chances instead of giving their colds the neede.t attention. It should be borne in mind that every cold weakens the lunsrv lowers the vitality, makes the system less able to withstand each succeeding col'! and paves the way for more se::v.? diseases. Can you afford to take such desperate chances when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds, can be had for a trifle ? For sale by A. G. Lnken & Co., and W. H. Sudhoff, corner fifth and Main.

Nothing Equal to Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for Bowel Complaints in Children. "We have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy ia our family for years," says Mrs. J. B. Cooke, of Nederlands, Texas. "We have given it to all of our children. We have used other medicines for the same purpose, but never found anything to equal Chamberlain's. If you will use it as directed it will always cure." For sale by A. G. Luken & Co., and W. II.

POLO PLAYED

Is

In the Hawaiian Islands Howi it is Done. The inhabitants of the,' Hawaiian. Islands are a play-and-sport-loving folk, and give themselves with greater energy -! than : is usual ; in a warm climate to .all manner of games. The Makihi Recreation Ground at Honolulu is a special reservation for athletic field sports, which are an important part of every great holiday celebration. Football, baseball, golf, rowing yachting; all are popular there; but no one of these distinctly Anglo-Saxon sports has as many adherents as polo. The history of the game in the Hawaiian Islands is filled with interest for devotees of the game everywhere. Yet the popularity in the islands of this exciting and blood-stirring game is not distinctively an outgrowth of the new conditions there, as for more than twenty years polo has had its enthusiastic followers.

mountains . here, "the highest Kohala peak being 5,505 feet), there is a fertile plain 2,500 feet above sea- level, where the trade winds blow fresh and

ool and invigorating all the year round, and here-in the early eighties a family 'of Australians lived. From the Antipodes they brought the game

of polo; and the country thereabouts being largely settled by cattle ranchers, the game was enthusiasticallly taken up. Reckless and daring riders were these ranchmen, and they played a dashing and spirited game. Many were the hotly waged contests they engaged in, while the sport led to the breeding of a very excellent class of ponies fine, little, mettlesome, bang-tailed -ponies, whose descendants are to be found in the stables of Honolnlu today, with the love and the knack of the game bred in them. Then there came a time wrhen polo

j languished, for the Burkhardts, who had introduced the game, removed to

a ranch on the neighboring island of Maui, upon the slopes of that grand old monarch of mountains, Haleakala (House of the Sun). All the higher slopes of the great mountain were given up to big ranches, and here af ter a while the Maui Polo Club was organized and flourished amain; for the English, American and Scotch population was large, and was, of course, just the element to give it vigor and life. The annual gamess in Makawao brought all the foreign residents of the island together and echoes of the snort traveled to Honolulu and over the whole group. It was the English game that was played, and everything was carried out in true English style. Two years ago the sport-loving men of Honolulu tok up the game,and by leaps and bounds it sprang into favor there. The organization of the Oahu Polo -Club was quickly followed by a challenge from the Maui men; and in April of last year the first big inter-island match took place at Moanalua, the beautiful country estate, near Honolulu, of the Hon. S. M. Damon, whose son is the president

of the Oahu Polo Club. Thousands flocked to witness the match, and the field, which had been located upon a level spot on the golf Jinks golf is immensely popular in Honolulu was surrounded by. hills that gave a splendid view of the game.
