AFTER THREE A

When They Returned Their Sons Language
Seemed Weird and Incomprehensible.
Albert's father and mother left him
when he was 10 years old for an extern
sive tour through Europe. After three
years spent abroad they returned a few
mornings ago, and in their eagerness to
know how things had gone during their
absence they dragged that young gentle
man from his bed, where he was calm
ly sleeping the morning away, and after
commenting on his growth and apparent
good health they began to catechise
him, and the conversation was about as
follows:
"Why were you not down at the
wharf to meet us?' asked the father.
"Well, I did intend to come down
and give you the glad hand, but I sup

A look of establishment swept over
the faces of his parents, but the mother
was too eager for news to pay any at
tention to the slang and said 81 notice

OF the Ia states which contain SO per cent
of the entire German population of the
country, Mckinley carried all but2. These
states gave him 900 of the 271 electoral
votes with which he Is credited. They also
gave him a popular plurality Of 1, 112, 18l.
These facts are the more convincing rs
to the attitude Of the Germans In the re-
cent campaign when we note that 8 of
these IA states were carried by Mr.. Cle-e-
land In 1899. These were New York, I'LL
nois. Wisconsin. Missouri. New JERSEY.

There is no more instructive or impor-
tant phase Of our analysis of the election
returns than that which bears on the in
fluence upon the result exercised by the
foreign population, whether foreign born
or native born of foreign p~arentage. Most
readers will be surprised to learn that very
nearly one-half Of all the people of the
United States are Of immediate foreign ex-
traction-foreign born or born in this
country of foreign born parents. The fol-
lowing Is the total number Of foreign born
inhabitants In the United States in 1890
according to nationality:
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1897-02-06

The percentage of foreign born votersi in
the whole United States ia 25.6. In %
states the proportion of foreign born voters
is above this average for the whole coun-
try. In the following table will be found
the percentage Of the total vote which Is
foreign born In these 80 states and the
per sent of the total vote which was given
to Mckinley and Bryan respectively:

For the purpose of further analysing the
vote let us divide the country into seven
great groups of states, as follows:
New England.-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Connecticut.
Eastern States. New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Border States. Maryland, Virginia,

The total returned popular vote at the
late presidential election was 10, GAL ,073,
or nearly IA, OOe, 900. The casting of a.
900, 600 votes In a single day Is a tremen-
dous feat. Nothing like 1t was ever before
seen in the history of the world. Nov. 8
last more than IA, 000, 600 of Americans
walked to the polls and exercised the SOW
ereign right of citizenship. The total vote,
as 1t Is returned by the state canvassing
boards, does not aggregate quite 14,OO0,-
900, but a considerable number of defective
ballots were thrown out. Probably the
number Of voters, effective and ineffective,
was something like IA, 1876 900. How vast
an army this Is one can comprehend only
by the use of some method Of comparison
which brings great figures within the
grasp of the mind.
If IA, 900, 900 men were placed in single
file five feet apart, they would make a line
10, 1858 miles in length, or considerably
more thar one-half way around the world
at the equator. Marched in platoons Of
four, the line would reach from New York
to San Francisco, with enough to spare to
place 80 officers to the mile outside the
line. II the IA, 600, 600 voters were marched
In company order, 16 men abreast and ten
feet apart, they would make a column
1855 miles long, or from New York to the
interior of Nebraska. Such a procession,
marching at the rate of three miles an
hour, would require 30 days and nights tc
pass a given point. Massed as closely as
men can- conveniently stand, allowing
square feet to the individual, the IA, 0OO,
900 voters of last November would cover 6
field containing more than 81 square
miles of ground-2K square miles Of solit
humanity. If loaded into railway cars
233, 800 passenger coaches would be re
quired to hold them, or more thar eigh
times as many such coaches as there are IL
the United States.
