Our Population.

The New FORK Herald recently published two
diagrams which set forth in striking manner
the elements Of our populution-one Of the chief
factors OF productlon-and i'll accompanying
reading matter touched upon some of the prob
lens thus presented. The Herald in discussing
the matter editoraIy says that perhaps the
most striking fact to be drawn from this inter
csting study is the ease with which 50 large an
influx of foreigners is absorbed and assmilat-
ed. This alone is Il wonderful proof of the
power of the country. A revolution, persccu-
ton or disturbance in one of the European
States that will cause bodies of its population
enter other States of the Continent is likely to
produce very marked economic results in those
States, because the habits and conditions of the
people have become fixed as not to be able to
bear such a sudden addition to their numbers
Tie United States, however, has during the
last four Years received on an average about
seventeen hundred and fifty Immigrants daily,
and yet this great tide of foreigners. coming as
1t does with its race and national prejudiceS,
has had no appreciable effect upon the institu-
tions Of the country. The great reagent which
fuses the diverse elements into one mass, which
abolishes all race distinctions and makes the
German and the Russian American. is the
common school, but this does not act before
the second or third generation. STILL the fact
that only one-sixth of the total population is
foreign, and that nearly three-fourths of that
fraction is furnished by two nationalities ought
to set at rest any fear as to the menace which
this foreign element is supposed by few to
threaten to our free institutions. With land in
plenty, cheap food, a government which inter-
feres little with individual enterprise, there is
no reason for believing that all who came here
to settle will not recognize this as their country
and its government lis their government.

Chinese Indemnity.

SRN Francisco, Feb. 2S.-Chinese Consul
Bee says, in reference to press Dispatch
from Washington, relating to the indemnity
for lives and property OF Chinese DESTROYED
by mob at Denver, that suit was insti-
tuted by direction of the late minister,
Chau Ian Pin, in the courts of Colorado,
and the Chinese government drummed out
OF court because there was no statute OF
that state relating to indemnity from.mobs
or riots. The consul says the United States
has been paid over 100000 By the central
government of China for indemnity to the
United States. claiming that the treaty was
made with the Peking government and not
with the provinces.
