Why They Emigrate,

The New York Commercial Bulletin
sent oHt its reporter among the emigra-
ton societies and among the immigrants
themselves to ascertain, if possible, why
scandinavian Europe is emptying its
population into the United States. The
reporter returned laden with doleful
tales from Germany, Austria and other
countries, but also with speculations
among the immigrants themselves a to
the cause. Some, it seems, fled from power
ty and oppression of stringent laws; some
from apprehension of desolating wars
in the near future; some merely
to Join their friends in freer, greater
country; some to seek fortune where
money was easier made; some because
the purchasing value of money had
greatly diminished in their own country
some because others were going, and tens
of thousands from as good countries as
America seem seized with mania for
emigration to the New World. 1t ap
pears that whole districts have been
almost denuded Of their population, and
if the thing goes on this way ten years
the CRY will be, Young man, go East. !"

Foreign emigrants are landing at New
York at the rate of twenty-five thousand
a week, and many who are skilled la
bOrers and mechanics are being engaged
before they leave their quarters at Castle
Garden. The other day Pittsburg iron
manufacturer took five hundred skilled
iron workers, mostly Hungsrians, out of
the Castle and put them Immediately to
work. He is greatly pleased with his
bargain. Many of the best classes Of
workmen are now fleeing from the high
taxes and military CONSUMPTION of Eu-
rope, and they will add immensely to
the productive power of this country

Germany is actively preparing for the
next war, and to that end the govern
ment is spending money like water. 1t
has Just resolved to spend $4,000, 600
marks, or 100000, in fortifyiDg the
seaport of Kiel, in Holsatia. under the
superintendent of Gen. Biehler, one of
the departmental chiefs of the War
Office, and Maj Schulz, of the Engineer
Department. This means the taking of
Just so much money from the pockets
of the taxpayers in order 10 squander it
on unproductive public works. Is it
any surprise that, with policy of this
kind, there should be so remarkable an
emigration of the industrial classes from
Germany? The ''man-on -horseback" is
behind these costly Notifications, and
not far off is the shadow of CONSUMPTION
from both of which the German aIti-
san and farmer do we'll to flee while the
road is still open to them.

The Panama canal would seem to be
an enterprise of sufficient dimensions to
occupy the entire attention of the most
ambitious engineer. De Lesseps is not
content with it, however. He has closed
a contract with the Greek Government
for cutting the isthmus of Corinth and
opening a ship channel between the
Egean sea and the Gulf of Corinth,
agreeing to begin the work in 1882 and
complete it in five years. The project is
by no means a new one. The Emperor
Nero attempted it without success, and
there have been various canal schemes in
modern times, stimulated by the narrow
width of the isthmus, which is only
about five miles across, and the obvious
advantage to commerce of opening a
passage through it. In 1878 a concession
for a canal was made to Greek banker,
who failed to carry out his engagements

A statesman, according to the New
York Times. ought to be man familiar
with the history Of the country and with
the principles on which the government
is founded. He should have profound
convictions regarding the policy best cal
culated to promote the power aud great
ness of the nation and the well being of
the people, and he should have earnest
ness and skill in giving shape to that
policy and carrying it into practice. The
proper field for a statesman's activity, if
a legislator, is to be found in devising
practical measures to meet the exigen-
cies of the time, and in using his powers
of persuasion to promote their adoption
and success. In a country like ours a
statesman must understand the people of
the country and feel a patriotic sympa-
thy with their purposes and desires, and
he must needs rely confidently on their
support.

ex-senator C0nklInr.

The Cleveland Ohio Herald publishes
an interview with the late Mr.. Hayes, in
which he Says
ssMr. Conkling is a monomaniac on
the subject of his own importance. He
is so impressed with his own greatness
that it has become more than eccen-
tricity. 1t is monomania. A patient
often imagines that he is some distin-
guished character or superior being.
The men who do his bidding Mr. Conk-
ling considers in state of subsection to
him. and those who refuse to obey his
dictates he considers his most bitter enc
mics. He thinks they are trying to hui
initiate him. Humiliate is a favorite
term with him.
''In 1879 General Robinson asked Mr..
Conkling to come and make speeches in
Ohio, and his reply was: why do you
ask me to come to Ohio when they have
insulted me theref 1nsulted you!
How?' asked General Robinson. Why,
have they not endorsed this man Hayes
administration, thereby making direct
drive at me?'
"Conkling's downward tendency dat
ed from 1876. He tried then. IN every
way pOSclDICt W uClCdt b4C ltCPdOAACdA
party in New York. Governor Morgan,
a candidate for Governor in New York
that year, was well satisfied that Conk-
ling did all in his power to defeat him.
"Conkling made three attempts to be-
tray the Republican party. This was
one of them. The next was the electo.
raj commission. He had speech already
prepared to overthrow the action of the
commission relative to the returns from
Louisiana. Senator Morton discovered
his plan, and succeeded in defeating it.
There never would have been a Potter
Investigating Committee but for Conk-
ling The Democrats were loath to go
into il, and only did so at the earnest So
hcitation of Conkling.
Il will not say he falsified in this
case, for think he really believed that
the men on the Louisiana Board had en-
tered into bargain for the sale of that
State, and Conkling assured Southern
Senators that would from very shame
leave the White House in thirty
days after the investigation had be-
gum"
The late Mr.. Hayes is very generous
to give Mr.. Conkllng the benefit of his
honest convictions in regard to the con-
spiracy to steal the electoral vote of
Louisiana. Millions of men all over the
country really believed" as Mr. Conk.
ling did, and by his admission the late
Mr.. Hayes virtually comedies that there
were good reasons for that belief.
Nevertheless, as the beneficiary of that
crime, and as the rewarder of the in
famous perpetrators of it, he feels it his
moral duty to denounce Conkling not
only for meditating the defeat of that foul
conspiracy and instigating the Potter in
vestigatiOn, but for attributing to him
sense Of shame which he does not pos
sess.

1t is now said that the Tunis trouble
was precipitated by Bismarck, and that
he, not Gambetta, forced France into it.
The objective point Of his policy was to
get the French into difficulties and into
serious foreign embarrassment, so as to
compel large forces of troops to remain
away from home, and, at the same time,
to embroil France with foreign powers,
such as Italy and Great Britain. BY
these means he hopes to keep her so
occupied that she viii not have the time
or ability to quarrel with him over her
lost provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.

The Radlcal Party On lis Last Legs

4HO AduACdA al ~ Ou AtS AdSb AtSSs
One who is described by the Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial rep. as "a leading stalwart,
man known to the country at large and
an intimate friend of ex Senator Conk-
ling" is reported as saying:
"To begin with, the Republican party
is dead. II you think otherwise, Guilt
vate the cheerful view until you hear
from Ohio and New York this fall, and
then remember what l say. The first
important elections under the present
administration occur in these States. We
shall lose both of them, and it will be
the beginning of the end. The Republican
party with these two States in Demo
cratic hands won amount to much. The
reelection of Conkling and Plat may help
matters some, but the damage is already
done, and it is lrreparable. The breach
is made. Our party, mean the Repub-
llcan party, has been stabbed at vital
point. This is the last Republican adj
ministrati0n. 1t would be well TO paint
a sign and put it over the White House
door thus: James A. Garfield, last Re
publican tenant of this building James
G. Blaine might occasionally glance up
at it. l should hope he would. They
will all go in the gentle spring time,
1884 / worked in the Indiana cam
paign, the State which saved Garfield
after Blaine lost his State, and
when all looked dark. A Demo
cratic friend said TO me at Indianapo-
lis, You are spending your time and
money out here, and if Garfield gets in
you'll have another Hayes. I've thought
of that since, and although have no use
for Hayes, wish he was back again.
We have a worse man than Hayes. But
we're done with Ohio men in the main.
There will not be another one elected
President this century unless he's a
Democrat Ohio Democrats do very
well, but Ohio Republicans-deliver me
from them-that is, in the White House.
I've given you gloomy view, but no
darker than feel. l believe the Repub-
lican party is holding the last term of
its lease of power. We can write over
its tomb: Killed, but not by the Demo-
Gratis.

Il is estimated that there are more 81

1t is estimated that there are more sub
stantial buildings now being erected In
New York than at any previous time in
its history. 1t is mainly in the lower
and central portions of the city that
costly and elegant buildings are being
pushed to completion. The new business
houses are very high, being eight and
nine stories high and ornamented with
an elaboration before unknown in the
city. We see it computed that $25. 0O0.
600 will be the value of the costly build
ings now going up.

The British Government has forbid
den the circulation of the New York
Irish World in the United Kingdom.
That paper is engaged in the defense of
the Irish tenants cause, as are many
papers published in great Britain, and
by the terms of the international postal
treaty it is difficult to see how it can be
suppressed, since the registration laws
permit the circulation of papers on the
condition that ''the publication must
consist wholly, or in great part, of pc.
Itical or other news, or of articles re-
lating thereto, or to other current topics,
with or without advertisements. )"
Nothing is said of the character of the
political articles, and the inference from
the action of the British Government
is that it fears the liberty Of the press,
and is conscious of the weakness of
its position with reference to Irish af-
fairs.

Ny Lord Roscoe as an Independent
Party,

1t is generally conceded that Conkling
is hopelessly beaten, and so sure of it is
the New York Herald, that it advises
him to lead new movement" it
is in his power to enter at once upon a
new and greater career-that he will
occupy an Independent position, etc.
Upon this the Baltimore Gazette re-
marks This is doubtless true. He
will occupy a very independent position.
The State of New York would rise up
as one man and that man would be
Conkling." Independent parties, con-
tinues the Gazette, may be built up
upon great ideas. but never upon the
disappointments of retired leaders. The
disappointed candidate often thinks
American civilization failure, but that
is not a good time for him to try to
build up personal party"
