Unrestricted Immigration.


The effect OF the wholesale Immigration OF the
lower and more ignorant classes OF foreigners Into
our country has been two-f0ld. In the economical
sense we have greatly gained In wealth from the IN
crease in the number OF the iaborIng and producing
classes; but in the social and political sense We
have greatly suffered from the vast concoursc OF
foreign-Dorn people, whose presence as changed or
ignored the once-pIeyaillng American IDEAS. We
have taken in this foreign clement faster than we
can asslmilate It. Consequently, wherever Il PRE-
ponderates, as In most OF the large cities, II has
crowded the American element out OF the control OF
public affairs, and fosered bosss, corruption, and
fraud 10 such an extent that municipal government
In the United States Is generally conceded TO be a

men for more than two more generations Why,
then, continue 10 sell or give lands and provide
money to half million OF foreign Immigrants per
annum? We have begun partial exclusion OF The
Chinese; why not now announce 10 the world that
we propose 10 Alnercanize our present foreign
born population by one or two more generations OF
purely American breeding and education before ad-
hitting any more, aud relieve our institutions. our
society, and our public sentiment OF the strain We
have hitherto borne, before II wrencheH the national
structure entirely out Of 10 original shape?

The desire of Lord Salisbury to see Rou-
melia and Bulgaria united under Prince
Alexander is natural, aud it is absurd to
point out its Inconsistency with his policy
when these States were created. Statesmen
deal with the facts as they find them. AT
that time Russia's influence in the Balkans
was potential. 1t looked as II the new
States would be mere oulwerks which she
could hold until ready TO advance again.
Now what the Bulgarians and Roumelisns
desire is Independence. Prince Alexander
and his policy are inimical to Russia's
southwark march. Under the protection of
the Treaty Powers united Bulgaria would
be an obstacle iuterposed between Russia
and Constantiuople. The Sultan can hardly
fail to see this all-important consideration.
Instead of England having offended the
Porte" therefore, there is every reason to
believe that they are in accord, and that
Lord Salisbury's diplomacy is thus far in
the ascendant.

The Balkan question continues as OBJ
scure as ever. Where there are so many
conflicting interests and aspirations II is
impossible to make safe forecasts, a. unex-

The generally well-iptormed writer who
discusses foreign questions In the columns
of the Post appears to flnd the Balkan mud
die quite beyond his depth. Here Is the
way he struggled with it last Sunday;
Englands course in this conference is not salts
factory TO any OF the powers except, perhaps, Ger
many. In standing out for the maintenance Of the
new Balkan state, created by the Roumel-Bugaran
union, she ofIends the Porte and resolutely snubs
Russia. Her marked friendship shown for Prince
Alexander is OF the curious incidents for which
at this distance 1t is hard TO understand the rdiSon
d'eire. In war with Russia the passage Of tho
Dardanelles would be necessity to England's neet,

raria, in his recent act OF contumacy, she directly
insults Russia, which demands that he be deposed
andpunlshed 1t is iinlcult to understand England's
Interior purpose from her present attitude toward
the Russian and Turkish Empires.
We have yet to see any evidence that
Englsnd's course is not satisfactory to all the
Great Powers except Russia, although the
attitude of Germany has not yet been dis
closed. The Varzin Sphinx has not yet
spoken. He is perhaps waiting for events,
meaning 10 he governed by circumstances.

THE following letter from the poet Whittier ap-

men isa pleasure to give circulation to thoughts
so elevated and appropriate:
OAK KNOLL, DASvERs, MASS.
Second Month s. 1885.
Hon. John Sherman, Chairman or Committee:
DEAR FRIEND: The state of my health will
scarcely permit me TO avail myself OF the invitation
of the Commission to attend the ceremonies of the
Dedication of the Washington Monument.
In common with my fellow-cltizens j rejoice at
the successful completion of this majestic testimo
NAL OF the reverence and affection which the people
OF the United States irrespective OF party section,
or race, cherish for the Father of his Country.
Grand, however. and imposing as that testimonial
may seem, 1t Is after ALL but an inadequate outward
representation OF that mightier monument, unseen
and immeasurable, builded Of the living stones Of
nations love and gratitude, the hearts OF forty mil
need of picture writing and symbolism, and the
great object-lesson Of the Washington Monument
Will doubtless prove large factor in the moral and
political education OF present and future genera
tions. Let us hope that 1t will be a warning as well
as benediction; and that while its sun-lit altitude
may htly symbolic the truth that righteousness
exalteth a nation, its shadow falling on the dome
of the Capitol may be daily reminder that " sin IL
reproach to any people" Surely 1t will not have
been reared In vain II, the day OF Its dedication,
its mighty shaft shall serve to lift heavenward the
voice of a united people that the principles for
which the fathers toiled and suffered shall be main
tanned invioate by their children. With sincere re-
spect, am thy friend, JoHs g. WHITTIER,
