IMMIGRATION IN 1889.

The immigration figures for 1889 are
away down below those of 1883, and, in
fact, smaller than for the last twenty
years. The logical Interpretation of
this is that the immigration tide has at
last reached high-water mark, and from
this time forth will continue to subslde.
There is nothing alarming in this fact.
On the contrary, it is hopeful sign of
our future prosperity. 1t means that
most of those who wanted to escape the
expressions of European tyranny are
already here, or they are seeking free
dom in other countries on this conti-
tinent. The South American republics
are Offering unusual attractions to emf
grants, and many of those who are for
saking the old world for the new are
turning their steps in the direction of
South America.
But, whatever the cause, 1t 1spretty
clear that the rush of immigration to
this country is over. As the New York
Herald puts it, having eaten our fill, the
country needed period for repoSe and
digestion. And we are having it. The
slack in immigration gives better op-
portunity for assimilation. The for
eigners who have come to our shores
within recent years are rapidly adapt
ing themselves to our American system,
and by another generation there will be
little or no foreign element here. We
will all be Americans, without thought
Of where our ancestors came from.
Nearly one-fourth of the immigration
last year came from Germany, and, in
Guiding what came from Austria Hun
gary, about one-third of it was German
blood. Experience has demonstrated
that this makes good admixture with
American blood. Another fourth comes
from England and Ireland-our parent
stock; while Sweden, Norway and Rus
sia contributed about their usual quota.
The falling off was mainly from the
countries of Southern Europe.

SOUTH DAkorA POLITICS

A prominent editor in South Dakota
yesterday caused some surprise by the
statement that voting in his state next
November would show an astonishing
change, and he believed the Democrats
would be successful. More considera-
ton is due to his statements from the
fact that he has always been a Repub-
lican, and still publishes Republican
paper in one of the larger towns. There
are two leading aud Immediate causes
given for this political revolution
These are prohibition and the tariff.
The action of the legislature does not
represent the prevalent feeling, or even
the personal convictions of nearly all
its members. They were elected under
pledges to the prohibition managers,
and feel obliged to concede their de-
mands. but the people a:e far less
beWildered with the fancies of the ex-
tremists than they were when they
voted last year. The Prohibitionists
made great campaign, and still had
less than 5000 majority out of 10000
votes. The later voting in Iowa has
had a very great effect. The present
legislature has refused to resubmt the
question, and it will be made an issue
in the election of the legislature. The
liberal Republicans will insist upon
pledges, and if the Republican candi-
dates will not give them they will turn
to the Democrats. A senator and all
the state officers are involved in the
election. South Dakota has seemed the
most incorrigible, politically, of the new
states, but Iowa is an example of the
possibilities of judiciouS and energetic
effort.

COMMON FACTS

The great complaint of the Republic
ans is that in the South there is not full
representation of the voting element.
and has not been for several years past.
The subject has been under discussion
in congress, and one of the members
has compared the unrepresented vote in
the various sections. 1t is found that
the non-voting element is not by any
means confined to the South, and that
the vote cast that is unrepresented is
greater in the Republican than the
Democratic states. At the last gem
eral election it was in the proportion of
2.920.343 to 1854, 155. Had there been
uniformity of representation, the Re-
publicanS would not have majority in
congress. In Mississippi the Democrats
elect the five members of congress,
and in Minnesota the Republicans
secure the five members with l42, ,492
votes, the Democrats 120,793 being as
much disfranchised as the minority in
Mississippi. The Republicans in this
state have not attempted to arrange the
districts so that the Democrats can have
any representation in congress, and it
must be conceded that not much greater
eagerneSS to give the Republicans a
chance has been shown in Mississippi.
Politicians are apt to figure for the ben
eft of their parties more than is reason
able oftentimes. In some of the South
ern states, neither whites nor blacks do
full duty at the ballot box; but nearly
as much shortage is shown in Vermont,
Massachusetts, and, at times, in many
Northern states. Voting should be in
culcated as duty.

appropriated. Reliance is placed on

DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUXILIARY
navy of fast. weil-built merchant steam
ers to supplement the rather small pro-
portion OF cruisers contemplated in the
programme.
One of the chief obstacles to carrying
out this naval programme is the ab-
ssence of a source of armor supply.
There is only one establishment able to
furnish the required armor, and unless
others are prepared no large quantity of
armor can be delivered before 1895. But
the board believes that if congress will
make appropriations Immediately for
considerable number of heavily armored
ships, the demand for armor will induce
the development of other large plants.
The best policy lies in concentrating
available energy upon such number of
ships as can be completed in reason
able time and the efficiency of their
type made available as soon as possible.
In his letter of transmittal, the secre-
tary of the navy says he does not coln-
eide with the board entirely. He is sat
isfied of the capacity of this country to
complete the eight battle ships recon-
mended by the department. AS to what
is considered an effective navy, the sec
retary repeats what he said on the sub
Ject III his annual report.

QUEER BOODLERS.

The fact comes to light in the tenn
perance discussion in South Dakota that
it had been already agreed, before
Bishop HARE protested, that those who
required real wine for sacramental pur-
poses could have it. The bill was to
be SO amended before its final passage.
Elder FIELDAR. the chairman of the en-
forcement league that has been direct
ing the matter, publishes a letter in
which he says that this concession had
been made couple of months earlier,
in compliance with the request of Luz
therans in Deuel. county. The surpris-
ing partof the letter is that this point
is yielded in view Of "the magnificent
service of the Lutheran preacher and
"hundreds of his fellow countrymen"
rendered in the campaign. Men have
been paid for campaign labors and
votes in money and offices before; but
no other instance is recalled where such
services were rewarded with privilege
of using wine on religious occasions.
A queer sort of a preacher is Elder

CHEAP POWER.

Our Hastings correspondent makes a
forcible suggestion with reference to st.
Paul's effort to establish manufacturing
industries. Cheap power is the main
factor in the growth of all manufactur-
ing cities, and until we can supply the
power as cheaply as it can be had else
where, we will not be able to build up
very considerable manufacturing indus
try. The GLOBE has already called the
attention of our citizens to this fact, and
we have urged that some method be de-
vised for supplying the city with cheaper
fuel than is now obtained. Our Hast
ings correspondent. who, by the way,
has had experience as manufacturer,
suggests that this difficulty can be over
come by providing substantial power
plant. capable of running a great many
factories, SO that by a division of the
expense the cost would be comparatively
light for each factory. This is practi-
cal suggestion, and we commend it to
the consideration of those who have this
matter in hand.

CHEAP POWER NEEDED.
Sensible Suggestions by a Hast
ings CORRESPONDENT.

Sensible Suggestions by Hast
ings Correspondent.
To the Editor of the Globe.
l have been watching with much in
terest what has been said in reference
to manufacturing in st. Paul, and must
say that the questions you ask in your
Sunday editorial columns are very sug-
gestiye. Particularly striking is your
suggestion that your own people need
to put their money into such enterprises
as can be successfully carried on in
your city. This is all well and proper,
but st. PauPs capital can and
should be invested in providing a
substantial power plant, for the use
CT factories. Without this important
step being taken all the effort you can
make will avail but little. There is no
record of substantial manufacturing
town that cannot trace its growth to
some means of cheap power. PittSburg
was surrounded with coal fields. The
lake cities have cheap fuel. The grow
ing manufacturing towns and cities of
Indiana and Ohio have natural gas.
Grand Rapids, the foremost furniture
manufacturing city in the world. has
cheap wood for fuel. st. Louis, Kansas
City and Leavenworth have cheap coal.
Minneapolis has ST. Anthony falls. st.
Paul must have cheap power or no I'M
portant manufacturing enterprises. The
levee proposition might be practical to
limited extent. However, aside from
the fact that it would be limited, and
the expense to construct and to keep in
order, it is on the wrong side of the river.
If your manufacturing committees
could locate several factories and mills
in close proximity, forming a nucleus
for group. and erect a large power
plant to furnish all from the one source,
they might be able to reduce the cost
of fuel to such a moderate rate that
manufacturers could compete with
other more favored places. The time is
propitious. as the st. Paul Touring mill
lately burned should be rebuilt in st.
Paul with double the capacity of the
old. With an assurance of cheap power,
others could be induced to build flour
mills as well. There is no doubt but
that, when they can promise cheap
power, they will be able to locate
woolen factories, knitting mills, linen
mills, agricultural works, wagon works
and whatnots. But to begin with,
solve the problem of cheap power.

THE RACE TEST.

While the race question is occupying
prominent position in senate and press,
possibly not the minor feature of the
controversy will prove to be that con-
Quoted by JOHN l.. SULLIVAN and
PETER JACKSON. The latter has now
arrived in the United States. and more
eager attention will be directed to these
two representatives of the races than to
the deliveries of all the INGALLS,, BUT
LERS, BRUCES or others. SULLIVAN
must meet JACKSON if the latter wants
to stand up before him. His claim as the
world champion is involved. Until he
vindicates his superiority in the ring,
the black pugilist will be conceded to
be his rival. He has not been van
qulshed, but has won with as much
ease as the Boston champion. His
packers are quite as confident
OF his prowess as the SULII-
VAN men are, and he will be
the only man to go into the ring with
SULLIVAN with anything like equal
betting. JACKSON is no KILRAIN phys-
ically, but has the development of SUI
LIvAN, with the advantage that he does
not Indulge in the eXcesSes that JOHN
is noted for between times. If he does
not prove hard hitter and give SUILI:
VAN all he wants to do, good many
who have noted his career will be dis
appointed. There should, of course, be
no interest taken in a mill between
big white brute and big black brute.
but there will be, and the philosophers
may find some mitigation of their dis
gust in the theory that the elements
that chiefly come in collision in the two
races will have more forbearance, if not
respect, for each other when their cham
plons meet in accepted contest and on
common conditions, for the supremacy
