TuE "a RESTRICTION or IMMIGRA
TION.

Public feeling in regard to stringent
regulation of the immigration and nat
urnliZatlOn OF foreigners IN IiIio vO,,0t,,y,
is more serious than for many years.
The "Native American" excitement OF
forty years ago was due to perception
of tendencies which are now confirmed.
But in form it was combination of Sc
crecy, sectarianism and politics, which
like whirlwind blew violently, but soon
spent its force. The results of illegiti.
mate immigration and political enfran
chisement was fOreseen, but they were
then theoretical. The time that ha,
elapsed, however, has brought us face to
face with actual perils. The volume OF
immigration has increased, while its
quality rapidly decreases. The popula
ton of the country is largely heteTOGen
Gus, while homogeneity is the condition
of great national power. The strength
that lies in common traditions, com
mon history and language, in general in
telligence and local pride, is constantly
diminished by the flood of the least in
telligent and desirable population o
other countries which pOuTs constantly
upon us, This country is the guardian
and illustration, and, as we believe anC
intend, the conclusive demonstration o
the stability and efficiency of popula
government as the safeguard of libert,
under law. Our first duty is to main
tain the conditions under which tina
demonstration is practicable. To per
nit liberty to be lost in the wild licens,
bred of Heterogeneous ignorance, corrup
ton and lawlessness would be to betra,
our trust. The question is not of ex
Guiding foreigners, but of assimilation
of the foreign element. A state or
country may be imperllled by over-im
migration like the human body by over
feeding.-Hdper'S Weekly.

NEW ENGLAND FOR MARCH.

Harvard College During the War of the
Rebellion is the subject of a fully illus
trated article by Capt. Nathan Appleton,
which stands at the front in the March
number of the New England Magazine.
Capt. Appleton was a student at Harvard in
the stirring days from 1860 to 1863, when he
enlisted and went into the army, and his
pictures Of the excitement in the college
and his tributes to the young heroes who
fell are alike moving. An illustrated

"A Fraudulent Senator's Reasoning.

Chicago Post: Senator Sanders, of Mon
tana, is a western man, and his methods of
reasoning are peculiar. He has expressed
his opinion on the lands in the western part
of North and South Dakota and Kansas.
and takes the position that it is really an
excellent thing for the people of that sec
ton that they are being driven out by the
foreclosure of mortgages. The Montana
senator is not cruel. 1t is only his way of
saying that the sooner the people get out
of the country the better; because nature
made it barren and it will always be bar
rem.
Perhaps the senator is not altogether
wrong. The western parts of the states
named are an arid waste where nothing
will grow save the tufts of buffalo grass.
1t is hard for the settlers, after having es-
tablished themselves or these u%nproductive
homesteads, to leave and begin life anew
somewhere else. 1t is merely a waste of
for them to remain. But the trouble
is it is not easy for them to get away.
The government made the mistake in
opening these barren lands for settlement
in the beginning. Tn issuance of the
presidents proclamation was a sort of half
guarantee that the lands were good. And
the rosy hopes of the thousands of adven-
turesome spirits will not and cannot be
realized.

THE prevailing impression that the
the price of sugar will fall on April l is
probably incorrect. The price has been
advancing TOR three months but tho sup
ply on hand now, it is said, would hardly
last three weeks. In the expectancy OF
a fall dealers have made small pur-
chases, the foreign planters fearing
that an export duty would be raised by
foreign governments, as in the history Of
the coffee tax repeal. AS a result they
sold at the best prices they could get
during the fall and summer, SO that
American ~retiners purchased more
cheaply than they can now. This &C
counts for the rise during the last few
months. which is likely to continue.
