Immigration Increases.

According to the statements of the bureau
Of statistics of the treasury depar tmsnt for
the first quarter Of the year 1891 the rapid
increase of our population and its en-
croachments upon the reservations Of land
set apart for the Indians is not altogether
surprising. During the period specified no
less than So, 04s foreign immigrants landed
in our ports, to say nothing Of the large
number who entered United States territory
from the Dominion of Canada and Central
American countries.
With such an enormous influx of foreign
population added to the natural increase of
our native inhabitants an extraordinarily
rapid growth is to be expected. During the
first three quarters of the last statistical
year the recorded number of foreign
arrivals amounted to &c. 37. which is
nearly 100, 600 more than the immigration
department figures show for the correspond
ing period Of the previous year. At that
rate sufficient number Of people would be
furnished TO constitute the legal population
Of new state within the space of single
year, If the newly arrived inhabitants
should concentrate In one territory. Great
ness can but be very rapidly acquired at
Eueh a rate Of growth.
Bltth various nstionalities of these i'm
migrants would somewhat deter them from
immediate assimilation. OF the whole
number of arrivals during the first quarter
Of the present year Germany furnished
1913. Austria Hungary I4,9l2, the United
Kingdom of Great Britain 1894, Italy
Il, 500, and Russia and Poland together cent
us 1886. Such mixed population un-
versed in the laws of republic would be
almost certain to fail OK success in govern
ing themselves without native instruction,
and would also be apt to engender race an-
tagonisms unless restrained by established
administration Of local government
Therefore it is better that they should be
scattered throughout the union in order to
receive suitable instruction in our forms of
government before undertaking to steer the
ship of state on their own account They
are quick enough to try it. Sometimes
they begin before they can speak plain Eng
Rlish. So we have nothing to fear from diff
dence on the part of our acquired inhabit~
ants. Revised immigration laws apparently
have but little effect in checking the en-
thusiasm with which they come to live
among us.

Color Before the Courts

According to a recent decision of the
United States supreme court in the cass Ct
tina japanese murderer, Jugiro. whose ten-
tsnoe was appealed from New York court,
the tribunal Of last resort holds that mo
person charged with crime involving life
or liberty is entitled by virtue of the con-
stitution OF the United States to have his
race represented upon the grand jury that
may indict him, nor upon the petit jury
that may try him" Such complaint as the
prisoner made concerning the result Of his
trial, based merely upon the fact that there
were no Japanese on the grand jury that
indicted him nor upon the trial jury which
found no difficulty in convicting him of an
apparently fragrant murder was regarded as
simply a dilatory plea. At the same
time the identical principle was applied to
the case of Wood, the negro who made q
similar appeal, based upon no better ground.
This may be accepted as long stride
toward the final settlement Of the question
Of color, which has SO long been fruitful
subject for incessant and improbable
wrangling throughout the country. 1t def
nitely establishes the principle that many of
the Rolest democratic newspapers OF the
country have long endeavored to inculcate
in the mind Of the negro. that while the
constitution of the United States secures to
him the same rights that are accorded other
races and nationalities without regard to
shade Of complexion, it does not give to him
any peculiar nor extraordinary rights or
privileges simply because of his color nor in
consideration of his previous political con.
ditton. 1t gives him equality before the
law and not the preference that he seems
to consider himself entitled to.
Whenever the negro can bring himself to
fully understand the very distinct difference
that lies between an inherent right and a
granted privilege all of this disagreeable
disputiug that is now heard so much will
cease. 1t is for the best interests Of the
negro as well as for the white man that it
should.

Rival real estate dealers are keeping up
quite vindictive fight over the tomb of
George Washington's mother. There is
certainly no particular reverence at the
bottom of their contention. 1t is simply a
matter of dollars aud cents between them.
They regard the historic tomb as merely a
marketable relic to be specialized upon for
the profit it will produce For that reason
it would seem only the decent thing for the
Virginia Historical Society or some other
respectable institution to rescue that grave
from the mercenary clutches of both of the
claimants. Graves are scarcely the things
to speculate upon.

With Mr.. Garland, the ex-Attorney Gen.
eral, to defend his interests, Gov. Boyd now
expresses the utmost confidence in his ulti-
mate success in recovering the Office to
which he was legally elected as governor of
Nebraska. Although the adverse decision
that dispossessed him was palpablY a part of
political combination the governors
counsel think they may not succeed in re-
storing him to his Office before next Novem-
Der. There should be some satisfactory
manner to punish those who have thus
thwarted the will of the people and for a
whole year deprived citizen Of the office
to which he was duly elected.

Dignitaries Of the Episcopal church in
the New Jersey diocese of Newark are said
to be unanimously opposed to the conflrma.
ton OF DR.. Phillips Brooks as bishop of
Massachusetts, because Of the assigned
reason that they regard his liberal views as
deleterious TO the church policy aad dis
cipline. But it is not likely that the
opposition Of a single diocese will be re-
garded as a sufficient objection to defeat the
bishops confirmation when it comes to a
final decision.
