The immigration returns show that the total
number of foreigners arriving nj our ports
during the month of May with intent 10 set
tie in the country WAS 1l0,l~2. making the
grand total for the eleven months of the cur
rent official year 5Gi,29l. These figures are
uncyamplcd in magnitude, ard are exceedingly
suggestive Since the 1t of last June We
have received foreign population large
enough to make hrst-cla>S city or an entire
Western State. This vast inildX of new ma
terial has been absorbed without any appre-
ciable effect upon the labor market or upon
the general conditions of our social life. Moth
ing could more strikincy show the great
prosperity of the United States Ii is To be
hoped, however that the remarkable move
mcnt of large masses of foreigners to our
shores will slackcn before long. We can
BEAUTIFULLY assinliate one or two hundred
thousand strangers annually, but when over
half million come may reasonably feel
some apprehension of the effect which may he
produced upon our public and private life.
We want to keep what is best in the American
character for the great nation of the future
which we are building up, and do not want it
swamped or badly diluted by too heavy an
overflow from abroad.

General Wickham and his delegation of Vir-
ginia Republicans who called on the President
yesterday are dissatisfied with the Malone
State ticket, and are laboring to secure the
nomination of straight-out" Republican
ticket. This it is their right to do; but they
go much too far, if they are correctly reported,
in saying that separate ticket will he put up
whether the Republican Convention decided o
nominate one or not. There are clearly two
opinions among the Virginia Republicans as to
the proper course for them to pursue this year,
and the only fair way for them to settle their
dispute is to submit it to their own State
Convention. For members of one element to
threaten in advance that they will go their
own way whether the Convention is with them
or not is q poor preparation for harmony and
for the success which can only come through
harmony.

The solemn and hitherto obscure member
from CayuCa who stopped the ballot at Al
bany yesterday on a false pretence and made
a speech attacking with charges of corruption
a majority of his Republican fellow members,
must have been surprised at the sort of scnsa-
ton his remarks created. The members treated
his performance as broad farce, and at its
close crowded around him and conSrat-
ulated him with mock euloey and iron
ical laughter 1t must have dawncd upon
Tuthill's mind then that he had made an ass
of himself If he did not see Ivy that time
that his speech was both silly and impcr-
tincnt he must he a remarkably thick headed
person. 1t is supposed that Mr.. Conkling Is
responsible for the speech, and the suppo,ition
is bv no means a strained one, for the tactics
of the cX-BoSs seem To Ice To impugn the mo-
lives of every man who refuses To vote for
him. This is IN unmanlv WAY of carr ing ON

The Government of the little Republic of
Uruguay has taken to suppressing newspapers
and imprsoning journalists means of per-
petuating its power. All the newspapers are
forbidden to discuss politics. and the foreign
legations are crowded with journalists hiding
from the authorities. Evidently the Uruguayan
Government is corrupt and despotic affair,
and fears criticism. A revolution, which Is the
South American remedy for political evils, may
be expected to break out any day.
It would be easy to manufacture some theory
adverse to our city school system on the basis
of the attempted suicide of the young girl
who jumped into the East River yesterday, be-
cause she had Just failed to pass the examination
for admission to the Normal College; but any
such theory would have the weakness of all gen.
eralizing on isolated occurrences. The truth is,
not that the examination was too severe or that
the value of the prize of admission to the Col
lege had been exaggerated in the lower school,
but only that the girl was excitable and I'M
balanced, and was troubled with an ambition
out Of proportion to her mental calibre The
Ease is o curious one and sad one, nevertheless.
We are apt to regard the oft-recurring agita-
lion for legislative measures to restrain the
LIQUOR traffic as popularity of American life.
Just at present, however, there Is more public
Interest shown in England than in this coun-
