The majority Of the men are stated to be
under 10 years Of age, and, Of course, subject
to military duty at home. The New York
Tribune, i'll an article giving details Of the
immigration at that port, says:

favor OF joining manual training to the men
tai exercises Of our common schools.
Says thinker and writer on the subject OF
manual training in the schools: 1.-THE boy
leaving school should carry with him me
chanical, business, and scientific training,
fitting him for whatever 1t may become
would secure for society the advan-
tage of all the brain capacity that IS
born and all the training it can take. It is
possible and practicable to let every child of
fair capacity start in life from his school a
skilled worker with the principal tools of all
the mechanical employnents, an athlete with
the maximum of health possible to him, and
thoroughly at home III science and literature.
The child so trained would. when grown, be
to the ordinary man Of to-day VIII at Rarus is
to an ordinary plow-horse."
The general adoption Of comprehensive
system of mechanical education In the public
schools would quickly dlspel the unworthy
prejudice against labor which taints the
minds Of the youth Of the country. The
splendid career which this age opens to the
educated mechanic would become clear to
the vision Of every boy in the land, and he
would see in the tools he was taught to
handle the key, not only to fair success, but
to wealth and fame. Prof Thurston, Presi-
dent Of the American SocfetyNof Mechanical
Engineers, thus depicts the tremendous
power welded BY the mechanic:

bcrship OF this society Is principally drawn de

4 GREAT ADVERTISING MEDIUM,

The value Of THE TRIBUNE; US an adyer-
Using medium has been recognized by the
community in very gratifying way No
newspaper west of New York prints as many
advertisements, measured either by columns
or number of advertisers. The other two
morning journals of this city 10 not together
have the same amount Of advertising, or half
as much in money value.
1t is well known that both the papers re-
ferresl to have long made practice OF TAX
Ing advertisements ut merely nominal rates.
and one Of them has printed regularly for
months many columns Of bogus "watlts,'
"sitnations wanted," ETC.. that have been
manufactured to give the appearance Of
prosperity where tile reality did not exist.
IIE Tribune surrenders its space only to
bona tide advertisers, and receives from them
Its full value, no more and no less. That its
prices are not too high is shown by the con-
slant and large Increase III its patronage from
year to year. 1t never was 50 much sought
after by advertisers as this year. It's adyer-
tlsements for several issues during the last
month exceeded any previous number in its
experience; and of course oyershadowed the
business Of any and all its contemporaries
beyond comparison.
The TRIBUNE rejoices in these evidences
OF prosperity even more on account Of the
community in Which it has so long and so
amazingly hourished than for its own sake,
Our advertising columns show that the
growth Of the City Of Chicago is steady and
healthy; that it is now enjoying period of
great business activity; that its merchants
are pushing and enterprislng; and that they
know how to employ the press in promoting
and extending their trade in every quarter Of
the Northwest. We congratulate the people
OF Chicago, therefore, on the tokens of
their own prosperity. which have been ex-
hlbited in the columns of THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE from day to day, and from week to
week. since the beginning of this present
year

SENATOR CoSoER will probably report the
nomination Of Judge Robertson to the
Senate tomorrow without recommended
Ion. The consideration Of the nolni-
.ation will then go over until
Tuesday, when Senator Conkling will
make speech stating why he is opposed to
Robertson. and defining his position general
II. Should Conkling not attack the Admin
ist1ation 1t Is probable that he will not be
answered, and that Robertson will be then
confirmed, and the whole matter deGnitly
settled. This is the program as it stands ut
present, and it will probably be adhered to.

| Old World to the New. This exchange Of
property Is In addition to that which appears
! in the table of the" "balance of trade.''
The Superintendent at Castle Garden, New
York, states that the bulk OF the Immigrants
| leave New York for the West and other
! points. Several Southern States are actively
seeking them. One colony OF eighteen famf-
| lies was sent to South Carolina. A more
substantial class of Irish are leaving for
farms in the Northwest. There is demand
for farlnlaborers equal to furnishing employ
1nent to NIL who come. 1.-THE Italians have
two destinations only.i One is to Baxter
street and the other to California -; at the
latter place they engage in vine-planting and
wine-making, for which purpose some Of
them have also gone to Ohio. The proper
tfon OF paupers and INDECENT persons is much
less OF late years than formerly, while the
proportion of those who bring supply Of
money sufficient to enable them to engage In
business and locate themselves comfortably
Is much larger than in past years.
The addition Of 700, 900 persons to our pop
ulation, and all Of them brought up to occu-
pations of manual labor, would, in any other
country than this, produce revolution in
the labor market. But this addition will
hardly have any serious effect. The great
bulk Of the newcomers will find their way to
the farms, either as occupants and owners
Of new lands. or as agricultural laborers, for
whom there Is Il demand equal to the supply.
Industrious, sober, and thrifty farn-hands
can find abundant employment in all parts
of the country, and at remuneratiye wages.
They can obtain comfortable homes at from
$40 to $50 per month, with board, and under
circumstances which enable them to save
the bulk Of their wages. In few years
they can accumulate enough "a to pnr-
chase land Of their own, or as lcssees
operate other farms prohtably. Those
who have. no trade, but must seek
unskllled, rough labor, will necessarily have
to remain In the cities, where they will come
in comnetiton with multitudes Of others
similarly situated. But even here, the out
come Of the struggle will depend mainly on
themselves. Industry, sobrfcty, and thrift
will triumph over many difficulties, while
the habits Of the opposit character must as
certainly reduce the victims to pauperism
and all its degrading nccompanimerts.

SECRETARY WINDOWS financial plans
seem to meet with more than anticipated
successes. 1t is only two days ago that his
call OF the 5 per cent bonds with an offer
ut their continuance was made public, and
already he has applications for the renewal Of
$50, ,000, 900 worth Of these bonds (one-tifth OF
the whole amount called) at the reduced rate
OF 3}5 per cent The National banks hold S1GS,-
00o,0o0 worth Of the bonds, which they will
make application to have renewed during
the next month at the rate offered by Secre-
tary Window. The London Economist coll
graduates Mr.. Window on the success of his
scheme, and the American public may well
init therein.

THE fable of the inflated bullfrog that trict
to blow himself up to the size Of an OK and
burst wide open in the attempt Is repeated
in the case Of the Wells street newspaper
concern in this city. Notwithstanding the
exposure Of Its mendacious and Shallow
frauds on the public, it had the sublime
"cheek'' to publish yesterday morning
another bogus "caDlcgram " three columns
long about the Bible revision. Not line
or word, or syllable of that dispatch can't
over THE Atlantic cable, or even by land wire
from New York. It never saw the inside OF
an operating room. The telegraph-tolls OH
it did not amount to the sum Of one cent.
The editor of the wind-bag concern cannot
produce 4 receipt to show that lie paid rs
much rs one postage-stamp for the transmits.
sion of that dispatch by cable. lie cannot
show '.copy" for it in any telegraph office
OH this globe.
The spurjousness Of the "dspatcll'' Is
written all over it In characters that any man
Of sense can read. No expert could be de-
ceiyeu BY 1t for one moment In the first
place. the matter contained in it is old and
stale. The substance Of 1t has been printed
in TEE TRIBUNE and other newspapers time
and again. The correspondent WHO should
send it by cable would be j lunatic; and
Franc 8. WiIkie, whatever else he may be,
is not that. Furthermore, the newspaper
editor who should order such material to be
sent by cable, or pay any man for sending 1t,
would be an imbecile, and the Wells street
man adye1tises himself as such when he
claims to have received the New Testament
Dy ocean cable.
We repeat that every essential fact con-
tanned III the alleged "cablegram Of ycster-
day has been printed in TIE CHICAGO Tn1B-
USE and all other important newspapers III
this country time and again. There Is moth
Ing in it which could not have been obtained
OF DR.. Philip Schat1, in New York City, or
dozen other scholars IN this country. II it
ever crossed the ocean at all. itcame by mail,
and left London at least fifteen days ago.
These facts put the stamp Of fraud not
only Oh the ocean cable dispatches Of the
Wells street concern, but on all its other dis
patches, and on its loud boasts Of enterprise,
llberality, aud rcgardlesness Of expense. It
Is sham and cheat from the first column
to the last. It's advertisements are bogus.
Its dispatches are bogus. It's principles arc
bogus. It has not an honest hair In its hide.
