In the cities of New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia and st. Louis, the German
population leads, closely followed by the
Irish, with the English third. In the ag-
gregate population the German and Irish
each exceed the English in a ratio of four
to one. This is interesting, because of the
fact that our English population is dis
tinctly urban in its character In New
York city the Russians outnumber the
English
If the present ratio of foreign increase
continues another decade will place the
Sclavonic element-the Russian, Scandi-
navian and Pole, far in the lead of our
other foreign population, the Magyar rep
resented by the Hungarian coming next
The diffusion of these in fifty years taken
with our present predominating strain of
German and Irish, will entitle us to al
most truthfully call ourselves English

In few hundred years mania for ra-
cial progenitors distinctly American
might break out, and the inhabitants of
this land might call themselves Powhat-
an-Pawnees, or Powhatan-Apaches, and
the grafton could refer to the glorious
achievements of this alleged ancestry,
speaking of its courage, GENUS, chivalry,
majestic edifces, arts, etc. OF course 1t
would be but vapid nonsense, yet every
bit as sensible as the present nonsense
about the crude and barbarian Anglo
Saxon. who left nothing as a monument.
In many respects there is a close parallel
between the Indian and Anglo-Saxon.
In starting our Powhatan-Apache race
we can use Pocohontas as the amalga-
mator of the races. Pocohontas left but
one son, Thomas Rolfe, Who in turn left
but one daughter. Now there are thous-
ands who fondly trace their ancestry from
the breech clouted tribe of Powhatans.

Many English professors and more intel
iigent classes of England have long ago
interdicted the word Anglo-Saxon. Then
why should it in any manner be applied
to the cosmopolitan population of the
United States?
Nearly one-third of our population is of
foreign parentage. the greater portion, as
1t has always come from continental Eu-
rope. With reference to European nation
ality. the German population greatly ex-
ceeds that of any other: next In number
comes the Irish. then the Scandinavian.
then the English. followed by the Rus
sian, then many others In lesser degree
The English represent about ten per
cent. Of our foreign born population,
hence the righteousness of referring to
the United States as an Anglo-Saxon ma
ton, even supposing that every English
man that ever came here was an Anglo
Saxon, instead of Irish or Scotch descent,
which is most usually the case.

Advances in Flour and Beer.


Flour has gone up 80 cents barrel
within the last thirty days and beer will
join the war-price brigade next week
The only difference between the bread
stuffs and the malt beverage is that the
consumer at once pays for the rise in
-four while the saloonkeeper is the first
to feel the upward tendency Of barrel
of beer.
The Piusbury- Flour Mills
| Company yesterday quoted barrel Of
! -four at $500. month ago il could be
bought for $40 Next week a barrel of
beer from the breweries controlled by
the Chicago and Milwaukee Brewers
Association is expected to sell at S.
The latter advance will be due directly
| to the proposed war tariff of 81 extra
on every barrel brewed.
Following has been the range of prices
in patent Minnesota flour within the last
thirty days: March q. $50; April 4. $3.50;
| April 49, $3.50; April n. $50. April %.
| So 50; April g. $500. Manager Holley of
the local office said he did not attribute
| the advance 10 war and he had no Opin-
| ion to offer He only knew that he was
being sold out of flour in Chicago and
that dealers were clamoring for more.
|
flour will continue to rise in price and
the customers evidently believe the state
ment.
committee of the Chicago and Mil
waukee Brewers Association met at the
Schiller building headquarters yesterday
and recommended an advance TO the as
sociation, which will meet today or
Monday The only dissenting member
was John 5. Cooke, who wants the old
pooling association revived Under that
agreement Cooke was getting s. for ev-
cry barrel of beer which he did not sell
under the quota allotted TO him. and
IL was an advantage for him not to sell
beer. The rest of the members were OPP
posed to giving him any advantage
again. and It is PROBABLE that he will
not put his beer up to the agreed price
next week The brewers take it for
granted that Congress will impose the
81 war tax. The price now is about 81
IL will probably go TO S. in a few days.

The more the light is let into the
late militia campaign. the less nice the
incident appears. The whole br gade
went out with the full conviction that
il was to be mustered into the Govern
ment service at once and to be sent to
tie front. On this distinct understand
ing. members sold out their business,
or resigned their employment. Many
are now without means in consequence.
How could such things have happ ned
unless the officers and men had been
deliberately misled by some one in au-
thoritv? Who is To blame?
Is ii true that while the full belief
prevailed in the Guard, that the whole
brigade had been called into active
service. the Secretary Of War has been
reported a. saying that Gen Harries
knew. and admitted to him that he
knew. that only one battalion lad been
thought Of i'm the connection? The Sec
rotary is further quoted as stating that
Gen. Harries asserted knowledge OF
this on the part of the rank and file of
the command. In this he appears to
have been mistaken. There was proba-
bly, not A man in the two regiments
who had the least idea of such stale

pleasant fact that the boys were or
dered out. not only without provision

dissraceful. Who is responsible for il?
The whole affair looks suspiciously as

somewhere around the premises. Mr.
Mckinley or Secretary Alger may have
something to say presently, but moth

pair all Of the harm that has occurred

thing worse.

We call upon him to resign. for the
good Of the service. and upon the au-

Along with these privileges come cor
relative duties, and among them is the
duty to defend the flag of the country. In
fighting for the independence of Cuba
the American negro will have the sa is
faction of knowing that he is fighting
largely for his own race. since one-third

negroes will be slow to volunteer and
that they will leave the fighting to be

The question as to the right way for men to
part their hair is one that bids fair TO become 4
vital one within the next few years, and may
eventually become potent force in politics
1t is always a good thing to have a
subject for thought. and our esteemed

having found one. The parting of the
hair is an entirely safe. proper and gen.
teel subject to consider at any time,
especially at a time when so much at
tention is given to the dress of the mas
cuiine half of humanity as the present.
The color of an overcoat or the width
of hatbrim has occasionally been the
subject of deep cogitation by military
authorities. The length of whiskers was
a vital issue i'm the last campaign peo-
pie being considered by some authorities
as honest and brave uphoders of the
country's honor, or as atheists. anarch-

or Possibly the parting of the hair Will,
as the Springfield Union 50 fatefully
observes, become an issue in the next
campaign. Ii may be that the partition
of hair will occupy a place in ultimate
history equal to that of the partition of
Poland. But thus far the bewidered
public asks how this thing Is to be done.
How is the mind of distracted nation

unimportant and Improbable matters as

on the parting of hair? How may men
be won from the perusal of the daily pa

Union? How may Congress be induced
to cease discussing war and discuss
hair? The influence of Speaker Reed

has no vital interest in the parting of
hair. Neither can the influence of that
