The Rush to This Country.

The volume of immigration at this time
is OF gigantic proportions. On account of
the restrictions upon 1t that existed in the
early months OF the year. the number Of
storage passengers who arrived at this
port in January and February. was smaller
than that in the corresponding period Of any
other year for nearly half century. or only
about 10000. AS soon rs those restrictions
were removed. the multitude OF newcomers
increased rapidly and greatly. There were
twice as many OF them In March as there
had been In tho previous two months.
while In April and May, as we learn
from the official returns. there were. in
round numbers. 10000 OF them, or even
more than there had been In those months
Of other years. in which immigration was
heavy enough. II as many immigrants
come here In this month Of June as have
come here In each Of the past two months.
the count for the half year will be very near
to 100000. For the whole OF last year the
number Of immigrants entered here was
but s744l. while this year. IL our doors be
kept open all through it. we may look for

country. The Italians have constituted
about one.ilfth OF the Immigration as regis
tered at Ellis Island. After the Italians In
number come tina Germans. the Irish. the
Scandinavians. and the Hebrews. the last
named being chiefly natives Of Russia
and other parts Of Eastern Europe. We
may estimate the number of jewish immi-
grants since January at over 10000. or about
half the number OF the Italian. the two races
constituting very large proportion OF the
whole body Of alien immigration to this
port In 1893.
BY our European advices we arc led to
believe that. unless the restrictions which
were imposed last autumn shall be renewed
for cause. under the power that has been
given to the President by Congress, the
rush to this country will be kept up at
least at Its present rate all through tho
year. There ueed not DO any surprise IL

Editors and Political Rewards.

In the distribution OF the honors custom
| arily bestowed in commemoration OF the
| Queens birthday which occurred on tne
oath OF last month, Mr.. GLADSTONE nus
recognized very conspicuously the great
political and social services Of prominent
and important Journals. Four editors have
been knichted: the same distinction has
been conferred on Mr.. JOHN TENNIEh. the
caricaturist Of Punch; and the owner Oh ono
newspaper and the oldest son OF the louno-
or Of another have been made baronets.
When President HARRISON showeo ms
appreciation OF the ability requisite IN inc
editor OF large and influential journal ny
appointing several editors to Important
diplomatic places more especially, he was
pursued with Mugwump abuse, rs II ne had
done something disgraceful. When, how
ever, Mr.. CLEVELAND came into che White
House he proceeded at once to follow the
example by appointing an editor member
OF his Cabinet, and by taking as another
member a man who had received bis train
ing in q newspaper office. or In tho onlce
of THE sun. Since then several other
editors have received important offices at
his hands, and doubtless the number Will
DO greatly increased before his term OF
administration is over
In recent times the most powerful force
In politics is tho daily newspaper controlled
by high ability and broad intelligence. Az
a country becomes more democratic. the
editor becomes more important. He reaches
the intelligence Of tho people more than
any other man. and Is more influential In
moulding and moving their sentiments: and
hence. as government by the people extends.
his function grows more powerful and his
responsibility and the education which
comes from 1t are steadily increased. Ac-
cordingly, there is no body OF men In these
days who are receiving the special training
for high political Office that the editors Of
largo and important journals are obtaining.
The newspaper Is the school for teaching
politics and the school for learning politics.
Outside Of the newspaper offices and
the ranks Of the few men to whom poll
tics is profession. there Is very little po-
litical knowledge. The people need constant
political instruction. and they get 1t al
most wholly from newspapers. The stump
speakers OF a campaign might be dispensed
with altogether. 30 thoroughly and 30 ef-
fectually Is the task Of education and ex-
hortation performed by the journals.
This fact has been long recognized in
France. where very many Of the
most distinguished OF the public men
are graduates from newspaper Offices.
The English consciousness has been
slower to awake to it. but as democ-
racy advances in England. the editors
are pushed to the front. In this coun-
try. as q matter OF course. the peculiar 1T
ness OF editors for political places is gen
orally understood; and not until the un-
democratic. un-American. and unphilosophi-
cal Mugwumps arose. WAS their appoint
ment to such posts made a ground Of critl-
cism against President.
