comiort-givipg facts; the most potent fact of
all, however, Is the extraor mary flow of i'm
migration from the old world. The value
Of immigration is ultimate and not nmed-
ate. Tna citizen as he comes TO US from
Germany or Ireland is citizen in raw
materiol. As u general thing we have the
besL results In the second generation. Unless
the immigrant comes early in lile-so early
as to knit himself into the flores of American
soclesy-he finds America aresidence and not
country. The instinct that draws the poor
human soul toward the bit Of ground where

that he gives to no other object or office
survives even Immigration to America. OF

like sentiment. Foreigners come to America
as New Euglsnders 60 west. A New Eng
lander In Colorado or California will mourn
the absence of green hills and granite slrewn
plains, and wonder if no will evsr again see
anything as rich and beautiful as dear old
New Hampshire, the fact being that he lott
New Hampshire because he found that
wheat would not grow on rocks and he did
not care to starve to death. We should not
complain because our German friends, for
instance, In social customs, are more Ger

bring their Prussian and Bavarian ways,
and Try to lead on the banks of the Hudson
the life they led on the banks Of the
Danube ana the Rhine. They will, we sare
assured, not love America less because ihey
loved Germany more. 1t is curious TO note
now the change even In social customs that
we see In the second generation. The son of
German or lrishman cares little about the
land OF his ancestors. tie may have a sonli-

The st. Louis Republican believes in the
intelligence and potent will of tho people,
even in New York, and hopes tho senatorial
muddle in that state will be relocated to the
sovereigns. 1t says:

up the Albany fire and scattering its en-.

be convulssd with such an excitement AS it
has not seen since the days of anti. Masonry ;
all other things would be forgotten in the
presence Of tho absorbing question whether
the resigning senators shall DO sent back 10
