Restricting Emigration.

In Austria, as in Germany, the
authorities are alarmed by the con-
tinued loss of the vigorous elements
of the community by emigration,
and steps are being taken to in
duce or compel would-be emigrants
to remain at home. At meeting
of the large land owners in Galicia
recently, it was resolved to recon-
mend to the provincial diet the dis
tribution of certain common lands
among the peasantry in order to
prevent emigration en- masse. At
another meeting of landlords in the
same province the authorities were
urged to give the people employ
ment, and thus turn their thoughts
from emigration.
Emigration from Galicia is tax
ing different direction, to North
America, to Brazil and to Russia.
1t may seem singular that people
of Polish ancestry would deliber-
ately choose the rule of the Gear
in preference to that of Austria;
but it is a fact that thousands of
Galicians have lately abandoned
their homes to settle IN Russia.
Brazil, also, is making bids for i'm
migrants, having some months ago
contracted with a company known
as the Compania Metropolitana for
the introduction to Brazil of l 900,
600 foreigners within the next ten
years.
Meantime the Galician landlords
are alarmed at the prospect of losing
the hardy peasantry who have titled
the soil and supported the aristoc-
racy in luxury for ages, and the
authorities the Austro- Hungarian
empire are anxious over the depart
ure of valuable subjects who are
thus lost to military conscrlp-
tions.-N. Y. Press.

A MARYLAND Bulletin,

The census bureau Tuesday issued
II bulletin giving statistics of farms,
homes, mortgages, ownership and
debt in the State of Maryland. In
regard to farms, the conclusion is
that 1928 per cent. of the farm
families hire and 62.77 per cent.
own the farms cultivated by them;
that 30.0l per cent. of the farm
owning families own subject to in
cumbrance d $500 per cent. own
free of incumbrance. Among 100
farm families. 81 hire their farms,
10 own with incum brance, and "A
without incumbrance. On the
owned farms of this State there are
liens amounting TO SIR, 1853 27,
which is 80. 40 per cent. of their
value, and this debt bears interest
at the average rate of 5. 70 per cent,
making the average annual interest
charge s95 to each family. Each
owned and incumbered farm, on
the aver &c, is worth s4,25l, and is
subject to a debt of 81 ,636.
The corresponding facts for homes
are that 6S.13 per cent. of the
home families hire and 31.S7 per
cent. own their homes; that of the
home owning families 74.37 per
cent. own free of incumbrance.
In 100 home families, on the aver
age, 6S hire their homes. s own with
incumbrance and "a without in
cumbrance. The debt on owned
homes aggregates $12,305.49, or
1904 per cent of their value, and
