LONDON, April THE statistics SUBJ
mitted by authorities in charge of the
uary emigration to America has de-
creased 5000 belcE that for the CORES
ponding period of 1889. This falling
off, il Is represented, is due to
the fact that wages have increased
at home until they are quite as high and
in some cases higher than the rates paid
for similar employment in America, while
opportunities for obtaining work here
are equally as good. These evidences of
improvement are attested by the fact
that the number of immigrants arriving
in England from foreign countries have
increased since January l by more than
5000 in comparison with the months of
January, February and March, 1889.
DON'T WANT MUCH.
Farm laborers OF Anglesy have rebelled
against the long hours which they are

ment is apparent to everybody except

strikers is generally predicted.
GERMANY's POLICY.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on
the situation in Germany, says: ''The
point that concerns statesmen of other
countries is not who directs the policy of
Germany, but what course will it take.
Prince Bismarck, though he could not
always be- interpreted with certainty,
fepresentsd in the main known ideas,
spFoFnfABht among which was statu quo.
William H., in all probability, has plen-
ty of definite ideas, but at present his
policy is known to the world at large
only from his speeches. Between
speeches and acts there is often great
gulf. The emperor has,, for in
stance, declared, in the most
positive language. . 8 that his
chief aim is peace. So has every mon
arch and every statesman within the
memory of the oldest diplomat, but the
prince shows that it is one thing to aim
at peace and another thing to secure it.
The difficulty comes when q choice has
to be made between their aim and some
other aim, which happens by force of
TO be incompatible with
it. For this 1eason time alone can re-
store confidence which has been shaken
by Prince Bismarck IS retirement. The
IN his speech at the opening of
the new reichstag may reassure the pub
lie. Such declaration will be joyfully
accepted for what it is worth, quantity
which can only De determined by ex-
perience. -

VANCE THE M AN.

The National Economist says that
the hot heads of both political parties
are discussing the propriety of run>
ming for the presidency in 1892, men
who are influential in Wall Street.
Men known to be popular with that
influence in New York, seem to be
the ones desired.
After discussing the phase of in.
terest that controls the politicians
and disregards the interests of the
farmers of the land, The Economist
says: 'In witnessing fight it is 40
sign Of partisan preference to offer q
suggestion to the man who is down;
the one on top has the advantage
and can take care of himself. Sup
pose, then, that the farmers in the
democratic party were to suggest to
the hot heads of that party to stop
booming Cleveland and Hill for the
nomination and feel the pulse of the
country of Senator Vance for a while.
What a stir 1t would make True,
they might lose doubtful state, but
they would gain half dozen in the
place Of it. The reason is plain and
simple. Vance is noted as plain
man of the people, a wise man, u
pure man, al honest, able and ef-
ticient man. His people love him,
and tears of honest JOY will come to
the eyes of North Carolinian every
time he hears praises of EOld Zeb
Vance, Old and young, republicans
and democrats, rich and poor, black
and white, will all alike feel happy
and safe when such men are chosen"
