ROOM FOR GROWTH.

A statement recently made by the
United States Geological Survey shows
that one-third of the land area of this
country is still vacant. According to
this statement the total land area of the
United States is 100000 square miles, of
which 9S0,337 are still classed as vacant
public lands. This does not include In
dian reservations, which aggregate 49,
$50 square miles. and which will all
eventually be opened to settlement after
giving the Indians their share in sew
crafty. These vacant public lands are
in twenty-six States and Territories, and
nearly one-half of them are still unsur-
veyed. Most of it is in the Rocky noun
tain and Pacific coast States, and other
portions are in the arid belt, but the
mountain regions will eventually sup
arid regions will be made inhabjtable by
artificial irrigation. But outside of these
districts there is still large amount of
vacant public land in agricultural States
Minnesota has 100000 acres surveyed
and 100000 unsurveyed; Nebraska has
10, SOC, 900 acres surveyed and subject to
entry; North Dakota has 10, 500. 900 acres
surveyed and 100000 acres unsurveyed;
South Dakota has 100000 acres sur
veyed and 100000 unsurveyed. Mis-
souri, and Mississippi have each about
100000 acres of vacant public lands, and
Wisconsin, Michigan and Alabama have
each nearly as much. 1t is evident.
therefore, that the public domain of the
United States suitable for cultivation is
still by no means exhausted.
But in estimating our room for growth
the area Of vacant public lands is a small
factor compared with the ability Of the
lands already occupied to support a
larger population. The census of 1890
showed the average number of inhabi-
United States to be twenty-one. Ac-
cording to Mulhall, the population per
square mile in 1890 in England was sos.
in France $780, in Germany 253. in Italy
26O, in Holland $50 and in Belgium $50.
The most densely populated State in the
Union is Rhode Island. with S1s inhabi-
tants TO the square mile, and the next
is Massachusetts. with 27S Indiana has
81 inhabitants to the square mile. ILL.,
nois IS, Michigan So. wisconsin 81,
Minnesota It, Iowa 81, Nebraska IA,
North Dakota 8. South Dakota 5. and so
on. Comparing the density of popula-
ton of these great agricultural and pro-
ductive States with that of European
countries shows that long time must
elapse before the limit of the supporting
capacity of the country will be reached.
He would be rash prophet who should
undertake to predict the population OF
the present territory of the United
States two or three centuries hence.

At the Cross.


At the cross her station keeping,
stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Where He hung. the dying Lord;
For her soul, of joy bereaved,
Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved,
Felt the sharp and cruel sword
o how sad and sore distressed
Now was she, that Mother blessed
OF the sole beg9tten One;
Deep the woe of her affliction
When she saw the cruciixion
OF her ever-glorious Son.
Who on Christs dear Mother gazing,
Pierced by anguish so amazing,
Born of woman would not weep?
Who on Christ's dear Mother thinking,
Such cup Of sorrow drinking,
Would not share her sorrows deep?
For His peoples sins chastised
She beheld her son despised,
Scourged and crowned with thorny wreath;
Saw Him then from judgment taken,
Mocked by foes, by friends forsaken.
Till He gave His soul to death
Jesus, may such deep devotion
Stir in me the same emotion,
Fount of love, Redeemer kind,
That my heart. fresh ardor gaining,
And q purer love attaining.
May with Thee acceptance find.

The statement from the immigration
office In New York that the number of
immigrants coming to this country is
much in excess of the number coming
year ago. and that the immigration as a
whole, has never been so undesirable as
now. should lead Congress to pass one
OF the bills before il to put an end to
this great evil. 1t will probably do MOTH
ing of the sort. The House could prob
ably enact such a measure. but nothing
which may be useful to the country can
be expected to receive the sanction of
the present Senate. That body seems to
find the Cuban instruction a more i'm
portant matter than the crowding of the
ranks of rough labor by tens of thou
sands of men and women who are a
detriment under any condition. With
the country now, Congress pays no heed
to the fact that European nations are
sending to our shores the most unde-
sirable people that their vicious systems
can produce. From an economic point
of view there is no place for such people
unless they take the work of others. If
many. of them do not become paupers
themselves their competition in an al
ready crowded labor market will tend to
pauperize others. From such immigrants
the sweat shops are recruited, and also
the cheap labor which has from time to
time demoralized the coal mining and
other industries. Statistics show that
the class of ixrr,iororfc ooy,,;po 70 nc
has been furnishing a very large per
cent of the crime which appears to be
increasing in a larger ratio than popu-
lation. Furthermore, this class of immi-
grants constitutes an element of danger.
All of them are ignorant of our fnstitu-
tions, and large part of them have as
their only Inheritance hatred Of au-
thority. In short, no good thing can be
said for them.
The Lodge bill before the Senate is a
mildly restrictive measure, shutting out
only those over fourteen years of age
who cannot read and write the language
they speak; yet so mild a measure would
bar out the element which would be most
burdensome and Injurious. Except the
revenue Dill winch tndt DOuy mas
strangled no more important measure
has been before the Senate. But the
probability is that the Senate will not
give an hour to the measure, while vast
ing hours and days upon resolutions like
those of Senator Call providing that war
ships be sent to Cuba to put an end to
Spanish barbarities. The injustice of
permitting that class of immigrants to
come here to crowd out of employment
common labor already in the country and
to lower the standard of living is not so
exasperating as that of the Spanish
rulers. but it involves degradation and
suffering the consequences of which are
far-reaching. Now that the flood of the
worst has again set to our shores Con-
gress should promptly give protection.

STUDENTS ON STRIKE.
They Refuse to Recite to Professor
Of Church History.

PITTSBURG, April 1.-The senior class
at the Allegheny Theological Seminary has
gone on strike against Rev. John Wilson,
d. D., the professor of church history, and
refuses 10 recte TO him. So far their revolt
seems to be a success AT least the class has
had no church history since the holidays.
Among certain members OF the church there
has been much opposition to DR.. Wilson, 1t
is claimed. ever since he was elected three
wears ago. and the result is two factions
are developing in the United Presbyterian
Church. Several members OF the board were
seen and all say that the trouble has been
patched up. but 1t leaked out that one MEN,
Der OF the board has threatened TO resign.
Allegheny Seminary Is governed by the
synods of New York, Ohio Northern Penn
syivana and Pittsburg. IL has always been
orthodox and has graduated many OK the
most famous ministers OF the United Pres
byterian denomination.
