REPLACING A LOST LIBRARY. -
Since the fire destroyed the good lls
b, ary OF Swarthmore College it is
pleasant to know that an effort has
been begun to replace it. The poets
Whittier, Longfellow and Holmes
haye requested their publishers,
Houghton, Mifflin 81 Co., to for
ward to Swarthmore College com.
plete copies of their works as gift
to the library. These publishers
have also added number of pub.
licatlons of their own to this gener.
GUS gift. Perhaps other publishers
and authors will follow their good
lead.
One of the results to be accom-
plished by the proposed improve"
ment of the Mississippi river, is the
reclamation of waste lands,equal to
the area OF New England, if whlchI
at present, about eight per cent. is
susceptible of cultivation. The land
when reclaimed, would be worth;
1t is estimated, $4,000, 100000. The
recent Mississippi floods, which oc-
casloned an immense loss OF pro-
perty. will furnish an argument for
the improvement advocates, which
thew will make the most of.

1t is stated that fully so per cent. of the
German immigrants settle west of the Mis-
souri, river. Large numbers of Irish immi-
grants are finding homes in Missouri and Ar
kansas. Many Italians are going to Ohio.
Special efforts are being made to attract them
to Florida. The Scandinavians are going to
the Northwest, Minnesota and Nebraska
catching nearly all of them. Great induce
ments are held out to encourage immigration
to Texas. Many States have organized I'M
migration societies that employ agents at
the eastern seaports, who use every means
to direct immigrants to their States. Mon
tana must, for the present, rely upon her
great mineral: agricultural and grazing re-
sources to attract Immigrants within her Dor
ders. Where they are known they speak in
irresistible tones.

1t only requires a comparison Of the in
crease of mileage of railroad in the New Eng
land, Middle and Southern divisions with
that which has occurred in the Western states
to illustrate the close connection between the
development of the railroad system and the
changes in the location of population.
Within the last thirty years the centre ofpop-
ulation has shifted ISL miles westward. Dur
ing that same period the mileage OF railroad
has increased 1896 miles in the New England
states 12,477 miles in the Middle states: 12,-
29S in the Southern states, while in the West
etn states it was nc less than 1851 miles.
In this is shown the bearing of the large in
crease of railroad facilities in the West upon
the current of population. And yet it can
not be regarded as having been fully realized.
The shortening of travel, the o%pening-up of
fruitful lands, aud the creation of mining,
manufacturing and commercial resources,
which have been effected by the $1,000 miles
Of railroad traversing the region west of the
S5th line of longitude and north of the 35th
line of latitude, canrot fail to exert continu-
ously and increasingly al attraction upon the
tide of immigration located in the Eastern
and Southern sections. There is more than
poetic sentiment IN themotto, "Westward the
Star OF Empire takes its way" On this con-
%tinent, the laws of soil and climate and min
eral distribution make it a natural necessity
that the future p~reponderance of population,
wealth and political power must lie much
nearer the base of the Rocky Mountains than
the western base of the A~lleghanies, and they
