Trishmen at that time were Roman Catholics.
practically all the colonlsts. excepting In Mary
land were Profestants. Since 1870 STATISTICS
are available We found ours In the Ohi'eu
States Census reports. which are commonly
considered pretty trustworthy. Those reports
show that from 1921 to 1890 there came TO TINS
country from England and Wales 2,i3O.3so'
from Scotland. 323,S23, and from ireland.
3IS1.O74 IT, then as Is scarcely disputaDle,
ihc Anglo Saxon race greatly predominated IN
this country before 1921 and since that date
has furnished more than two-thirds as many
immigrants as the Irish, It seems reasonable
10 reckon that It to-day considerably outnum-
bcrS the Irish.
The fact u.s. ms we have before observed. that
the magnitude OF Irish migration to this coun-
try is commonly much overrated. According
To the United States Census reports, only $40
per cent OF our population in 1880 was OF irish
orrin. against 1892 per cent Of German. Or, II
we turn 20 the statistics Of the British Board
If Trade. we find that in the thirty-six years
from 1853 to 1855 s.6I5.47j cmigrants left the
British Isles for destinations outside OF Europe,
and Of these ~ per cent were English and only
II Per cent Irish aud 10 per cent Scotch. In
the ten years 1sSI-9o the number of English

actually greater than that of Irish. And since
1890 there is reason 20 believe the same con-
diion has prevailed Irish emigration IS stead
ilv decreasing while that from England Is IN
crcasng and that from other European coun-
tries Is enormously increasing.
our correspondent also takes exception to
the statement that the people Of America think
the same thoughts cherish the same ambitions
and are moved by the same spirit as the Eng
lsh. THE chief ambition of England" he
says, "has been and Is TO seize every country
she can lay hands on" Yet the cold fact Is that
she has seized less land than some of her rivals
She never grabbed as much In America as did
Spain. She has not nearly rs much in Africa
rs France And in Asia her grabbings are
mere trhe compared with Russa's. Is not that
laud-grabbng reproach growing bit stale!
"'ro keep the natives in poverty and subJec-
ton" continues the critic. Yet II Is perfectly
well known that Great Britain treats subject
races much better than other conquerlng Pow

Jamaica with that of our own negroes gen.

THE PHILIPPINE LEADER.

There has been much talk about the savage
character Of the Philippine insurgents Prob
ably many OF them are pretty hard lot. Ihey
have never been fully civilized. and such CIVIL
ization as they have come into contact with has
been Of repellent and brutalizing kind II
has meant to them oppression and injustice.
the whiplash and the thumbscrew. One could
hardly wonder II they preferred TO have MOTH
ing to do with 1t. but to remain savages. III the
Philippine natives had all been angels. the three
hundred years of Spanish outrages they have
suffered might have been expected TO transform
them into devils.
Nevertheless. they are not all bad, nor all
mere barbarans. Their leader, General Agu-
naldo. may confidently be said TO be proving
himself a good deal of man. He Is showing
his ability to organize and discipline the native
troops, 10 hold them in hand. TO lead them ef-
fectlvely against the intrenched Spanish Regu-
lars and thus to win victories OF considerable
ma gnitude He IS. moreover. conducting his
warfare in a civilized fashion. with far more
regard for international usages than the Span
lards have shown on their side. To what ex-
tent his character Will be further developed on
the same lines. and to what extent he Will SHOW
himself n capable leader Of men in peace as
well as IN war remain to he seen. At present
II seems judcious TO say that he appears TO be
an ally who can be useful to the American
forces there, and Of whom we need not be

ANGLO.SAXONS IN AMERICA.

A representative Irshman in America, whose
letter to the Editor Of The Tribune we print in
another column Of this paper, takes exception
10 our recent remarks concerning "Mr. Daviit
and the Anglo-Saxons." He wants to know
where we got our statistics showing that before
1871 the Anglo-Saxon population Of this cOun-
try far outnumbered the Irish, and that since
that date. or down TO 1890, England has sent
US considerably more than two-thirds as many
immigrants as ireland. The answer is easily
given. Before 1920 there were no statistics on
the subject. But 1t is perfectly well known
that the vast majority Of colonial settlers in
this country We're English and Scotch. The
Puritans Of New-England We're certainly not
Irish. Neither were the Cavaliers Of Virginia.
The fewness of Irish settlers In the colonies Is
marked In the fact that while practically all

TIE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

The war with Spain-our first foreign war
for fifty years-has now been in progress seven
weeks. and has beer and still is the object of
much criticism at home and abroad. There are
those here who condemn the conduct Of II for
slowness and vacllatlon and there are those in
Spain and among Spanish sympathlzers who
declare that, on the contrary, we have been
feroc!ously precipitate in our aggressions upon
the foe. even TO the extent of violating we'll
recognized principles OF international law. Just
at this point, when we are entering upon lev
phase Of the conflict IN the use of the Army as
well as the Navy. 1t may be worth while 10
consider the grounds, or the groundessness, Of
these complaints.
so far as the ratings OF the domestic sons Of
Bombastes Furioso are concerned sufficient an
swer Is given In the simple record OF things
done. There has been, we believe, no other
campaign comparable with this in the vast dis
crepancy between achievement and cost. We
have destroyed Spanish forts and imprisoned
Spains strongest feet OH this side Of the world
and destroyed both her forts and fleet on the
other side OF the world. There is to-day prob
ably not a single effective warship under the
Spanish flag on the high seas. The Spanish
colonies are hopelessly isolated from the mother
country, and their capitals are infleyibly block
nded. and at this very moment American troops
are on their way to invest and occupy them and

Our foreign critics say. first. that we began
acts Of war before war had been formally de-
clared. II we had done so we should have been
merely following their example. 1t has long
been the custom Of militant nations 10 begin
war instead Of declaring IL. But as IA matter
Of fact we did not do so. War was formally
declared against us by the Spanish Government,
and notice was given that warlke acts had
been begun by Spain against US on the morn-
ing of April p. and not until April % did the
United States commit q single act that could
by any reasonable possibility be described as

A COLOSSAL COMPACT

The magnitude and consequences
involved in the uniting of the two
great fromer arenic rivals above
named are such as naturally excite
incredulity, and some badely frighten-
ed and intererted parties have not
scrubbed to attempt fOmenting the
same bald misrepresentation and de-
traction. Against these may be inter
posed the crushing testimony Of hun
dreds Of reliable newspapers in over
hundred cities, but the following
from the New York Sun will more
than suffice.
Mr.. ]. II. Baily, who controls the
Baruum & Baily Show, and is the sole
owner of the Adcm Forepaugh Show,
has an interest with the Sells Brothers
and hereafter the Forepaugh and Sells
show will be under the same tents.
The Sells Brothers, consisting of
Ephriam, Lewis and Peter Sells, are
among the wealthiest showmen in the
country. The Barnium & Baily Show
will be an ally Of the new combination.
The recognation accorded to the
Sells Brothers Show by the extra
ordinary compact above outlined
gives it worldwide prestige, in ad-
dition to the uneXcelled one it has a
for a quarter of century steadily
maintained and increased wherever it
has exhibited. Among the worlds
three greatest shows it is recognized
as an equal. and what is the greater
moment to the public, one of them is
now combined with it, the result
being self-evidently such formidable
exhibition of its kind as would be
impossible in any other country or to
any other partnership of arenic mana
gers and proprieters. OF the greater
circuses named it Will be the only one
to visit. Chanute its date being June
2Oth., and people are not likely to
natronize inferior shows with such a
bill of varied and colossal amusement
in sight. The wild beasts fourthcom'
| ing include the biggest and rarest
combined geological collections ever
exhibited. The hippodrome and circus
performances are proportionately su-
nerior and sensational, presenting a
hundred high-class races and bareback
equestrian, aerial, acrobatic, comical
and novel acts. introducing the very
hest amphitheatrical and arenic tar
ent in the world, besides droves,
families and aQuariums Of amazingly
and amusingly trained beasts and
amghibia. The morning parade is pro-
nouuced wonder in magnitude and
maguiRcence, and the entire enter
prise gigantic, high-ciass and ir-
resistabe success.
