EMIGRATION to the United States from the
United Kingdom last year was only 1858,
as contrasted with los, ,046 in 1875, and 14S,-
ISL in 1874, or little more than half of what
it was two years ago. This fact is undoubt-
edly due to the depression of our industries,
would be emigrants, who are kept well al
vised by their relatives and friends now here,
evidently preferring to take the chances oi
employment in their native land than to en-
deavor to seek it in new and untried fields.
During the period from 1916 to 1876 we
gained in population from this source nearly
five millions and half OF sturdy, active and
enterprising settlers, whose energies have
contributed materially in building up our
country by developing its resources, to say
nothing of thousands Of Swedes, Norwegians
Germans, and other representatives of for
eign nationalities. From 1S4S to 1876, e19
6S5,06S were sent to the United Kingdom
from this country and Canada to friends and
relatives abroad, the greatest amount in any
one year being 100000 in 1854. A falling.
off in the emigration to British North Amer
lea and Australia is also perceptible in the re-
turns, bat not nearly so great as that from
the United Kingdom to the United States.
Until business revives permanently and all
now out of employment are once more en-
abled to earn respectable livelihoods in their
accustomed fields of labor, there does not
seem to be room for new accessions to our
population, particularly in the large cities
and surrounding towns.

THE reports telegraphed from Washington
by certain correspondents to the effect that
the Secretary of the Navy had discovered
gross misappropriation on the part of bis
predecessor of the funds received from the
sale of the Philadelphia navy yard have been
tissues of falsehoods. Secretary Thompson
has not said. nor does he believe the money
was wasted or improperly spent by Secretary
Robson, but is satisfied that the latter acted
strictly within the law in all that he did.
The money was not diverted from one bu-
reau to another, because the law did not
divide it up among the several bureaus, but
provided that it should be expended by the
Navy Department proper, and not by any
particular bureau. Neither has all the money
been spent, as alleged, but there is still sew
eral hundred thousand dollars on hand, SUBJ
ject to order whenever the Secretary may see
proper to expend it.

THE population Of China proper, exceeding
A05, 100000 persons, in an area of 1854 953
square miles, must be regarded as very great,
considering that some of the outlying por-
tions of that immense territory are by no
means densely inhabited. The above figures
give 1858 souls per square mile. Including
the whole empire with its dependencies there
is an area of 3,924,627 square miles, and a
population of over 100000 Twenty-Five
years ago the population Of China was 45O,-
100000, or 347 inhabitants per square mile.
There is NO doubt that within the last half
century not alone the authority of the gov
ernment, but the population of the country,
has fallen off. The assigned causes are dis
astrous foreign wars, almost continuous in
surrections, and heavy drain in the shape
of emigration. This last has taken large
numbers of the Chinese into many of the
British colonies-in the West Indies, in the
settlements on the northwestern coast of
South America, and of late years to Aus
tralia. Since the year 1850 large numbers of
these Chinese coolies have been brought into
the United States, on the Pacific coast.

MASSACHUSETTS is Investigating her state
reform school and it does not appear TO be a
model institution in all respects. Some Of
the punishments inflicted belong to bar
barous age and seem entirely out Of place in
the enlightened Bay State. Such devices as
the sweat box and the gag were used with
the utmost freedom. As a reform institu-
ton, which it was designed to be. it seems
not to have been success, and the recent
revolt of the boys and attack upon the keep
ers appears not to have been without some
justification.

THE PRESS.
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1877.
The Eastern Question.


1t is by no means to be assumed, as is so
freely done in many quarters, that the peace
of Europe is secured by the new protocol
which virtually transfers the settlement Of
the vexed questions from the powers who
Joined in the Treaty of Paris in 1856 to Rus
sia and Turkey alone. To be sure Turkey
wants peace and is ready to concede much to
secure it. So, too, the Russian diplomats
and ministers have decidedly pacific tone;
but the diplomacy of Russia is as crafty, mys-
terious and deceptive to-day as was that of
all Europe in the Middle Ages. While she
talks smoothly of peace, she is sharpening her
sword. Her army is being strengthened and
increased in all its departments, men and mu-
nitions are being accumulated at strategic
points on or near the frontier. So little con-
fidence have the Turks in pacific result of
all this negotiating that they remit nothing
of their zeal and energy in preparing for
war.
A more significant indication than either
Russia's preparation or Turkeys evident ap-
prehension is the attitude and tone of the
Russian journals. Throughout the nation
they are loud for war and devote great deal
of their attention to firing the Muscovite
heart. Now the Russian papers are "organs;"
they can say only such things as are pleasing,
or certainly not unpleasing, to the govern
ment. The contumacious journalist who
frees his mind in way unsatisfactory to the
rulers is summarily shut up in Jail and his Of
fee closed. Thus the Russian editor has two
tyrants to fear-the public which is master of
us all, and the government. There is little
room there for independent journalism"
whose stock in trade is abuse of the govern
ment whatever it does. So the utterances of
the Russian papers are most significant and
they have been extremely bellgefent for the
past three months, indicating conclusively
two things; first, that the war is favored by
the people, and second, that the government
is not at all averse to the stirring up of the
popular feeling. With chiefs and people both
for war, who can believe that the cobwebs of
diplomacy will stem the torrent.
The natural tendency of things favors war,
which must come by and by even if it be now
postponed. 1t is the old story of e. vigorous
and populous barbarism-for the Russian
masses are hardly half civilized-descending
upon a rich and fertile land inhabited by an
effete race-for though the Turkish condition
can hardly be called an effete civilization it is
very much the same thing, barbarism run
TO seed. Russia wants Coustantinople and
will have it soon or late. 1t can be prevented
from taking it now only by the lnterdict OF
the combined powers of Europe.

A. PAPER is to be read before the New
Shakespeare Society, London, Con the Sea
sons of Shakespeare's Plays" The writer
believes that certain plays bear on them the
plain marks of the seasons at which they
were written. Not the least wonderful of the
many wonderful qualities of Shakespearian
plays is that they furnish plausible evidence
in favor of almost any crotchet the busy brain
of an antiquarian can conceive.

THE Tribune says great efforts are making
to prevent the consummation of the Tweed
compromise by his release by men still in the
legislature and courts, who are said to be
most involved by the expected disclosures re-
specting the passage of the Tweed charter.
Among the documents in possession of the
Harpers for future publication is said to be
evidence that $25O,0o0 was divided among
five members of the legislature to secure the
passage of this charter, and whether it be
published or not will depend upon the alacri-
ty with which these parties return the spoils.
There is question whether Tweed can sup
ply sufficient evidence to convict these men
but that he has some evidence there is no
doubt
