the foreign element is largely in the north and

the foreign element is largely in the north and
west. The Canadians are as close as possible
to the boundary line which separates the land Of
their adoption and their native country; they are
in northern New England, Michigan, Mime
sofa and North Dakota. The Irish are mainly
in New England and New York; the Germans
majority settled in Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin- The Scandinavians are at home in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas, while
the British are widely scattered Throughout: all
the northern states. 1t is to be noted, too. that
the foreign population focks to the cities in
greater proportion than does the native ele-
ment. In 1890, Prof Gannett declares, the
twenty-eight largest cities Of the country CON-
tanned a population Of 100000. or about
fifteen per cent Of the population Of the coun-
try. Three millions Of foreign born, or one
third of the total foreign born in the United
States, are dwellers IN those cities. Forsetfui
perhaps as to many varieties of great public
benefit consequent upon immigration Prof.
Gannett lays notable stress upon the testimony
that the illiterate and criminal Of the northern
states are mainly foreign born. That good can
come out Of evil is proven by the fig
ures which show that low grade immigra-
ton has forced the native American into
the higher walks Of life. and that despite the
competition his supremacy is as evident as it
was fifty years ago. As n tribute to his intelli-
gence and his controlling force let it be re-
membered that in Boston the native element
constitutes ont thirty per cent: in Brooklyn,
twenty-eight: in Buffalo. twenty-five; in New
York eighteen; in Chicago. twenty: in Detroi +,
twenty-one; in Milwaukee, thirteen. In this
city the percentage Of natives is forty-seven,
while the greatest is. strangely enough, not in
one of the original states. but out in Kansas
City, No., where the percentage is fifty-fve.
Prof. Gannett's compilation, which has been
published by the National Geographic Society,
Is worthy of more than mere superficial read
ing; it should be studied

at has often been stated SAYS Prof. Henry
Gannett in q paper presented before the Ma
tional Geographic Society some time ago, that
the strongest and most virile nations are the
composite ones; those made up from q mixture
Of blood" Commenting upon that statement
the professor very logically concludes that if it
be true, we are in fair way to distance in
this regard all other nations which ever existed
The blood Of immigrants from all the nations
of Europe, from the Mediterranean to the Arc
tic, to say nothing of the negroes, Chinese and
Indians within our borders. threatens to make
rs the most thoroughly composite nation the
world has ever known" Proceeding to pro-
duce testimony, Prof. Gannett uncovers some
interesting figures which show that during the
FIRST half of the rstceutury Of national existence
there was no immigration: that the numeri-
cal gain within the borders OF the United States
was from natural increase. Immigration really
had its beginning in ls47, when famine in Ire
land and political strife in Germany compelled
large numbers Of people to move westward in
search Of food and liberty. From 1921 to 1880
there came to this land 49, 39 seekers after
homes and from 1881 to 1910 the total was
sos, 125, but in the decade following the ag-
grsgate was ], 713.251. Since then the influx
has been something tremendous-unparalleIed
In the worlds history, unappreciated by almost
every Americsu-and in the ten-year period
which includes 1881 and 1890 the total was

Is, All ,657 people have crossed the Atlantic and
established themselves within the bounds Of
this republic. In determining the principal
constituents Of this wonderful westward move
ment, reference Is made to the representatives
Of nstionalties which threaten our internal
peacs-Hungarians, Bohemisns, Italians and
PolsA I'm recent years" says the
professor, 'the character Of the immigration
has changed for the worse, not Only BY this in
crease Of these undesirable nationalities, but in
the fact that the character Of the immigration
from other countries is lower than heretofore
in respect to wealth, education and morality.
Altogethee the changes which the character of
the immigration has taken on in the past ten or
fifteen years have tended to lower the standard
OF American citizenship and press upon US the
question whether it is not wise to take steps for
limiting immigration" An interesting phase
OF the problem is the distribution of the newly
arrived during the past decade, and glance at

Down in Prince Georges county are several
weary and Disguised Marylanders who have
come to the conclusion that ingratitude is the
meanest Of all offenses and that William Pink
ney 10 the most viciously ungrateful of men.
Mr.. Pinkney, it will probably be remembered,
willfuIly and with malice aforethought de-
prived Francis NJ. Bowie of life. murderous
operation in which he assisted by a friend
named Barber. The two criminals were tried,
found guilty and sentenced to death. Finding
the ennai Of prison life-brief though that
form Of existence promised to be-ircompati-
bic with his temperament, Mr.. Pinkney sawed
his shackles and escaped. That was some weeks
ago. A reward of two hundred and fifty dollars
was offered by the sheriff, and this sum few
not-too-eager individuals made desultory and
futile efforts to earn. ANNOYED at his low
rating in the financial world, Mr.. Pinkney de-
clined to be caught and in his endeavor to re-
main absent had the sympathy of most Of his
neighbors. Then the price moved up to seven
hundred and fiftv dollars, and enthusiasm kept
pace with it. Armed parties stirred the fugi-
tive to great activity and for several days and
nights his opportunities for repose were infre-
quent. He was chased into the woods and then
out Of them without the slightest compunction,
and at times the pursuers even encroached upon
his regular meal-hours- Finding that sort Of a
life to be far from pleasant, and fearful lest one
of the hunters should fill his anatomy with
many disturbing buckshot, Mr. Pinkuey con-
cluded to give himself up. He did, but not to
the sheriff nor to any of those who have2 been
disturbing his rest. He placed himself in the
hands Of two of his friends. and they will Of
course receive tine reward for which others
have toiled. The amateur detectives are in a
great state Of mind over the outcome of their
energy, and some Of them talk Of lynching Mr..
Pinkney; not because there is any fear of his
escaping the gailows, but because he euchred
them out Of seven hundred and fifty dollars.

What does he care though skies are blue

Why should he heed the wondrous hue

The thought Of hooks where sylvan boughs

The one that most displeases.
