The greatest colonizing nation in the
world, both in the extent and value Of
her foreign possessions and in the sue
cess with which she governs them, is
Great Britain. Spain, on the other
hand, while she has been one of the
most enterprising and energetic in the
establishment of colonies, has been the
least successful in governing or even
retaining them. The success of the
British policy is due largely to it's lib
crafty. Native character and customs
are carefully studied and duly respect
ed. SO far as possible native rulers
are kept in power, and religious lib
erty and the freedom of trade are stu
diously promoted. This liberal policy
not only enables the ruling power to
maintain its authority economically,
but by propltiating the governed, per-
dispOses them to study and to acquire
the point of view Of their rulers 1t
is thus a civilizing policy. Spain could
not maintain her power in Cuba with
two hundred thousand soldiers; but
Great Britain governs Ceylon, which
has twice the population of Cuba, with
fifteen hundred men; and Sir Andrew
Clarke, by his wise policy in the Straits
Settlements of the Malay Peninsula,
brought order out of chaos, put an end
to tribal misrule and brought prosperity
to the people without the aid of any
British troops. The events of the past
year make this matter of colonial gov
eminent one of supreme interest to the
United States. The National Civil Ser

vice, and enumerates characteristics
as worthy of our imitation if we hope
for similar results.

Russia IS not an autocracy In fact.
She Is an oligarchy. She is under the
rule and dominion of her powerful no.
bility, and they find the army a source
of pleasure and profit to themselves
which they have no idea of parting
with. They put their young men into
1t as well-paid officers, and the old fell
lows find 1t an amending source of plum
der and peculation. The oligarchy will
never part with the army SO long as
they rule Russia.

Young men ought to go into politics.
They can do themselves and their
country good. If they want office they
are entitled to have it. If they are
clever enough to beat their elders it
will be a salutary event for all persons
concerned. Most of the elders of poll
tics need to be beaten once In a while.

INSPECTION OF IMMIGRANTS
Com M issiOner POwderiy CcntempIates
Making II More Rigid.

T. V. Powderly, the commissioner general
of immigration, is considering the means
of having a more rigid physical inspection
Of immigrants at the principal foreign
ports. 1t frequently happens. he says. that
immigrants afflicted with contagious dis
eases are discovered IN the steerage on ar
irving al the ports of this country. These
are refused admission under our laws, but
those with whom they associated on the
voyage across the Atlantic are permitted
to land and go their various ways through
out the country.
Commissioner Powderly, in speaking of
the matter, says that from reports received
by him from officials of the immigration
bureau who have made Investigations. he
Is convinced that the examination of imnu-
grants by medical officers abroad IS a very
perfunctory affair and is performed at the
moment Of embarkatiOn, when the immi-
grants pass rapidly before the physician In
doing 80 they have scarcely time to remove
the covering from the head, and unless the
physician is possessed Of an 'X-ray" eye
1t Is difficult to detect many of the ailments
with which immigrants are afflicted
