There is a marked falling off in
the German emigration to this coun-
try, The number of emigrants who
landed in New York from the first
of last January up to the beginning
of the present month was 1907,
against $40 for the corresponding
period of last year, showing de-
crease of 3,O76. This notable falling
off is ascribsd to two principal causes
the panic which swept over our
country last fall, and brought de-
rangement and depression of the la
Dor market in its train; and the
large advance of wages in Germany,
and the thereby improved condition
of the laboring classes. While the
first cause is only a temporary one,
which will disappear with the revi-
val of business, the second is of a
more permanent character, and is
likely to diminish the volume of en-
igration for some time 10 come.

OLD MEN FOR RULERS. men
for council and young men for war,
is rather approved by the present
condition of things in Europe. The
other day King WILLIAM, of Ger
many, celebrated his 77th birth day,
and the event brings forward a com
parison of the ages of the European
rulers. MacMahon, of France, is
sixty, and President Thiers, whom
he succeeded, is seventy-fve; Ser
rano, the new President of Spain, is
between seventy-fve and eighty;
Gladstone and Disraeli, the alterna-
ting Ministers of England, are re-
spectively sixty-fve and sixty nine;
the celebrated Count Gortschakoff,
the Russian Bismark, has reached
seventy-three, while Bismark himself
is ffty-nine the youngest of the ven
cradle group. This fact is only an
other cOrroboration of the statement
often made that the dipIomatists of
Europe, the men who truly bear the
crowns, are aged men, who have
passed, in years, the prime of life.
With us in the United States, young,
er men are welding "the powers hat
he" although the average age of our
publicists and statesmen is probably
greater than is generally supposed.
The cause of this condition seems to
b.. found in frequent rotations in of
flee, and in the quite popular idea
that a young and growing country
demands energetic and progressive
men.

SUBSTITUTE FOR CoFFEE.-Chico-
ry, which has to overcome some
strong prejudices before it can take
the place of coffee, has been rein
forced for the struggle by chemical
analysis, which tells us that the per-
centage of nutrious substance in
chicory is more than twice as great
as that of coffee. 1t is largely used
by the poor people of Europe, and
has found its way into hospitals on
account of its superior nutritious
qualities. Chicory or succory is a
plant which grows wild in Europe,
but is sometimes cultivated. The
roots are kiln-dried, roasted and
ground into a brownish red pow
der to be used either for mixture
with or as a substitute for coffee.

During the noisy discussion on the
Welch-W elmer case in the State
Senate the other day, the Senators
were astonished by hearing strains
of sweet music float in upon their
ears. 1t was soon learned that a
number of ladies had taken poses
sion of the rotunda and organized a
prayer meeting for the special bene-
fit of the Buckeye Solons. A ma
iority of the members received the
visit kindly, while Others permit
ted themselves to become excited.
Senator Andrews, of Auglaize, re-
queste4 the Speaker to have the
Sergeant-at-AFms put a stop to the
muse, and the speaker replied that
he had no authority to govern the
exercises in the rotunda. The heavy
doors of the Senate Chamber were
then closed, and the business went
on without interruption.

SOLDIERS on THE PUBLIC LANDS
In Southwestern Kansas there is a
large area of public land that has not
vet been sold or pre-empted. This
land is said to be excellent for graz
ing and crop raising. 1t is now pro-
posed to locate a large number of
the discharged soldiers in this sec
ton, and steps have already been ia
ken to secure 100 acres for each set
tier, free of cost to him, except the
expense of the Government convey
anee, which will be $l8. This amount,
it is expected, can be raised by an
appeal to the country, which, it is
announced, will shortly be made.

1t appears that the Democratic
victory in Connecticut lacks the ele-
ment of completeness. 1t is true they
have succeeded in electing their State
ticket on the popular vote, and have
secured both BRANCHES of the Legis-
Iature, but it is also true that their
majority is much less than that of
last year. In 1873 the majority of
Gov. INGERsoLL over all his compet-
itors was 3,347, and now it is but ,,
500. Last year they had the same
legislative advantage which they
have now obtained. The net result,
therefore, to the Democracy. compar-
ed with that of last year, is loss of
647 votes. This may be an evidence
to the Democratic mind that the Re
publican Party has utterly gone to
the dogs, but to some people it bears
testimony only to Democratic deca-
dence. 1t is tolerably apparent that
Democracy is not so strong in Con-
necticnt as it was a year ago. 1t is
also apparent that a few more victo-
ries like that of Monday would who'll
ly destroy the party.

The Senate has passed the curren-

greenback currency and authorizing
the further issue of $4,000, ,0O0 to
National Banks. The votes stood
% to "a. Senator Sherman's at
tempt to have some recognition OF
day for the resumption of specie
payments failed by the intractable
majority of 5. Senator Conklin was
equally unsuccessful with his amend
ment forbidding any increase of the
public debt under the act. Senator
Morton opposed it because it would
prevent he Secretary of the Treasu-
ry from issuing more greenbacks
when they were needed to carry on
the Government He mustered
majority of 3 to defeat it. When
the final vote was about to be taken,
the most influential members of the
Senate, of both parties, rose, and, IN
brief and dignifed speeches, vainiy
sought to avert the deed which
the majority were bent on consuma-
ting. Senator Conklin foretold that
distress and disaster would follow,
and warned his colleagues that the
Republican party was pledged to an
opposite policy. Senators Stewart,
Anthony, Carpenter, and Flanagan
joined in similar protests. Senator
Thurman said this bill portended
the disappearance of the money of
the Constitution for the next gener-
alton. Senator Sergeant predicted
the destruction OF the party and the
leaders that attempted to flood the
country with irredeemable paper.
Senator Schruz said he felt humIlia-
ted as an American citizen, and his
fellow-countrymen will share his
chagrin.

FLAX CULTIVATION IN NEBRASKA
1t was once supposed that flax
would only thrive on the sea shore;
and hence Holland had what NAV be
regarged as a great monopoly in the
growth of flax, and the manufacture
of linens. But the plant fiourishes
in Nebraska; and the soil is too rich
for even this exhausting crop easily
to affect it. The cultivation of the
crop is therefore yearly increasing
at present with view to the oil
expressed from the seed,- though las
there is now no linen manufacture
worthy of the name in the State it
may be ultimately to provide fibre
for the mills. Certainly the people
of Nebraska may look to the conclu-
sion; and settlers in the State ought
not to forget that flax may be made
a profitable crop.
At a recent meeting of the Far
meEs' Association, of Lancaster Co.,
held at Lincoln, lthe county seat
and capital of the State, a discus
sion took place on the probabilities
of fax crop for this year, and it
was stated that some eastern gentle
men had offered to build an oil mill
if the farmers would guarantee a
sufficient quantity of the raw mate
rial. The correspondent who sends
this item of information in the inter-
ests of farmers moving west, says
that in Ohio, the fax crop used to
be a most profitable one, Half a
bushel of seed to the acre would
produce from 10 to 20 bushels, worth
81, so per bushel. Taking the yield
at 10 bushels, the seed was worth
$1,000 per acre; and allowing $500
per acre for expense, (which inclu-
ded the delivery of the seed to the
mill, the net profit to the farmer
was worth $500 per ton; and the
yield was half a ton to the acre
Nebraska is more suitable for fax
cultivation than Ohio; and farmers
who emigrate TO this promising
State, where the land is virgin, rich
and cheap, may wisely keep the sub
iect in view.

The correspondents of the Ameri-
can and English papers who accom-
panied the Ashantee expedition, and
notably the representatives of the
London Ielegraph and New York
Herald, have wildly described the
cemetery of Coomassie into which
the headless bodies of the human sac
rifces, made annually at the Asian
tee Capital, were thrown. The Ash
antee GOlgotha is situated near the
city, and the fostering remains poi
son the air around the glen in which
they lie for miles around. 1t is es-
'imated that, since the city was
founded, 100000 human beings have
been sacrificed to the hideous rites
of this barbarous race, and their bod
les thrown upon the open plain to
rot and breed disease. Such is one
of the customs of the people against
whom the wrath of Great Britain
was directed.

INCREASING CAPITAL SToCK VI IrH-
OUT CONSENT OF SToCKHOLDERs.-A
recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court regarding the legali-
ty of Tie practice of watering stocks
bv corporations, is of interest to
stockholders everywhere. The case
was as follows: The directors of a
Chicago street railroad company,
without consulting or calling a meet
ING of the stockholders, resolved to
Increase the capital of the company
from sI,250,0OO to $l,5OO,00O. To
this appellee, a stockholder, objected,
PRAYING for an injunction to prevent
the increase, upon the ground that it
could not lawfully be made without
the concurrence of the stockholders.
The injunction was granted by the
lower court and an appeal taken The
Supreme Court holds, substantially,
that no corporation has the power to
issue bonds increasing the capital
stock of the company without the
consent of the stockholders The
opinion settles once for all the I'M
