Without being quite sure If it, we presume
the figures credited to Great Britain include.
as well as English, Scotch and Welsh, all
those from the continent Of Europe and from
Ireland, too, who took shipping at English
ports. The number of these must ne equal
To, if not greater than. those of England,
Wales and Scotland. The Bureau still fol-
lows the old method of classification noted in
the statistics of the last census, which credits
emsrants to the countries from whose ports
they sail. This ra|e should be corrected in
favor of classification by race. As it is we
can only s.y that Germany, Great Britain

per cent. against l4l per cent from Ireland;
though it is probable that ireland sent by

up to 90 per cent, and that not ever GO per

credited to English. Scandinavian and Ger

Hon. Saml. Randall, Chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic COMMITTEES, having called
on James Brooks rs member of the Com
mite of Ways and Means to reply TO the re-
dnction of tax circular issued hy Henry
Wilson as chairman Of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, he has published a
reply. Brooks states that the reduction is
not as much by thirty or forty millions as tie
Democrats would have made if they were in
mower. What reductions have been made in
the tariff has been in the interest of capital
rather than labor, and that the Senator from
Massachusetts may we'll be contented with II.
while the West and South cannot be. The
reductions have all been made in the
capital interests of Massachusetts. Their al
legations ere fortified by statistical tables.
Wilson will doubtless reply.

The American people have pri6ei item

are accustomed to point to it with exultation
The report of the Commissioner of Eircation
u not calculated to increase our admiration
for the s7stem indeed, il furnishes iaforma-
tion which may go far TO shake our faith in
its excellence. The census returns Of 1910
and 1850, show frightful increase of Hitter
acy during the decade intervening between
those two periods. The census of 1860 re-
duced the proportion To the ratio of 1910.
The national census of 1910 returned 549, $50
white persons over twenty-one wears of age,
unable to read and write In 1850 the nun,-
Der had increased te 962, sos. and in 1860 the
number had swelled to l.120,515. To this
number is to be added 9l.i35 free colcred ILL

who were then slaves hut are now free and we
have an aggregate of nearly !. 0Ao, 900 persons
over twenty-one years ct sge. IN the United
States. who cannot read or write. Over one
half the population ia under twarty-one, and
as there has been no increase in educational
facilities. we must conclude that in 1860 there
were 5000. COO under age who were ilGterate.
which gives n total of 6 000, 900 of merieans
who cannot read. To these people the Bible.
books, newspapers etc. are blank pages. They
are without the great kew tn science and

France In Had Condition.

The war 10 Europe still continues. but
greater interest is felt in the diplomatic and
political moves being made than in the actu-
al fighting now going On around Paris. 1t
does not seem possible that France can much
longer stand against the Prussians. Every
thing 10 the old Empire seems to be at tie
mercy Of the invading army except Metz and.
Paris. After desperate resistance Stras-
hourg has surrendered. in natural course
of events but shor; time can elapse before
Metz will DO the same thing. So far as
France is concerned she will be compelled to
make such terms as are dictated by her con-
qnerors, unless other nations compel medi-
ation. Sc far, the new Government does not
appear to have the united support Of the peo-
pie OF France, a want of unanimity has ope-
tatej severely against the establishment and
recognition by other powers of the Republic.
Jules Favre has not satisfied Bismark that
he can make permanen. peace. M. Theirs.
has appealed in person to the English and
Austrian Governments to aid France in her
troubles, but met with no favor he is now ct
St. Petersburg.
Alexander seems Of have his hands full at
this time in apparent preparations to dis
turb Turkey which will be sufficient to keep
him from interfering for France. The TIA
lians have taken possession of Rome thereby
depriving the Pope of his temporal power.
All the nations OF Europe act as if they did
not desire to attend to any business but their
own. Prussia BY her military prowess places
herself in the position of first class nation on
the continent, it has been done SO suddenly
overcoming great Empire so easily that the
other nations will consider we'll before max
ing cause against her. From oil indications
France will have no European power to in
tervene as her friend but will be compelled to
submit to such terms and demands as maybe
presented by their foe. The sooner peace is
made and the war brought to an end the bet
ter. France is reduced in every way and can
have no hope Of being successful in the field.
Paris must fall and after that the same or
worse terms must be acceded to. France is
in bad way, We trust the war is near its
end.

REPEAL OF THE Acr CREATING THE DEPART
MENT CT THE INTERIOR BY BUNGLING LEGIs1A-
TIoN OF CoNGREss.--W Washington, Sept. 25. -
An Important discovery has been made fully
Illustrating the bungling legislation of Con-
gress. The Act to revise, consolidate and
amend the statute relating to patents and
copyrights, approved July s, 1870, contains
clause repeating all of the thirty-three Acts
and parts of Acts sent to them for their ac-
ton, with an appended schedule of Acts.
Among those TINA repealed is the Act CT
March 8, 1910. Chapter los. Volume Q, which
created and authorized the continuance the
Department of the Interior. Bv reason Of
the repeal of this Act the Department of the
Interior has ceased TO he branch nf the
Government since July 8, 1870. Numerous
complications and difficulties with regard ia
the business of the Department will be likely
to grow out of this insd7ertent and gross
blunder Of Congress.
