sentative in every way Of the leading
business interests of the nation. Ac-
cording to all accounts, the meeting
was one Of jubilation and confidence
never before witnessed. not even at the
notable meeting Of the association in
this city two years ago. which was at
tended by President Mckinley.
The president of the association, Mr..
Theodore c. Search, of Philadelphia,
declared in his annual report that in
almost every industry in the land
wages had been greatly advanced, and,
In many instances, readvanced. The
number of failures in the country was
less than during any year since 1888,
and the amount of liabilities involved
less than at any time since 1880. After
referring to the gratifying figures of our
exports OF domestic manufactures,
which were matters of common knowl-
edge, President Search urged in the
name CT the association the speedy
passage of the bill for the encourage
ment Of the American merchant ma
rine now pending in Congress. The
adoption Of such a policy by our gov
ernment was the one thing needed to
make our flag once more supreme upon
the seas that carry the commerce of
the world. he Nicaraguan Canal, the
open door in China, and the various
national commissions that have been
appointed to study the commercial and
industrial conditions Of Oriental ma
tions were matters in which the asso-
ciaton took the deepest interest.
The meeung at Boston Tesday was
no less businesslike than joyous. While
the political measures it favored may
be debated, there can be no debate
about the impressive facts reported OF
prosperous industrial energy in the
United States.

HISTORY WlLL REPEAT IISELE

There are many good and substan-
tial reasons why the Addicks delegates
to the Republican National Convention
should not be seated, and they bear
out the assumption that they will not
be. To begin with, there is no doubt
Of the nomination OF President McISin-
ley for second term. Nearly every
state convention in the country has in
structed It's delegates for him. There
is not as much reason at this time for
the friends Of Mr. Mckinley to make
sacrifices for the sake OF obtaining
votes in the approaching convention,
as there was in 1896. Still, in 1896,
when there was an element OF doubt in
the st. Louis Convention, the Della
ware case was made the tes. vote. The
Mckinley people seated the Republican
delegation and turned away the Ad-
dicks claimants TO seats in the conven-
tion. without any positive assurance OF
the delegations support.
Since then the national organization
has recognized General James II. VIII
son as the Republican member of the
National Committee from Delaware.
The National Committee has recog-
nized the Republican State Committee
at all times in all Of its communica-
tions and in the matter OF campaign
literature. Not only that, but the ma
tional administration, in making its
appointments, has recognized the Re
publicans Of Delaware, and not the Ad-
dicksites In the matter Of recommen-
dations for office. Il has been but a
short time since this evidence Of the
approval Of the national adminlstra-
tion was made manifest by the appoint
ment of John c. King as postmaster in
New Castle.
For Mr.. Mckinley and Mr. Hanna to
give countenance and comfort to the
Addicks men at this late day would be
TO repudiate all their acts in relation to
Delaware for the last four years. That
is course they are not in the habit
OF taking. They are not men Of in
consistency, and they viii stand by
their past acts.
There is no danger Of Addicks at
tempting to retaliate against Mr.. Nc
Kinley because Of the refusal of the
National Convention to seat his dele
gates. He could not do SO il he wanted
to. He cannot carry a vote to Bryan
and the voters who have been follow
ing him will demand an opportunity tc
vote for Mr.. Mckinley, whatever his
personal disposition may be in the face
OF a refusal to seat his delegates in
Philadelphia following the unequivoca
endorsement Of the Mckinley admins.

The TidaI Wave Of immigration.

From the New York World.
The arrival Of the Ivernia with over
ZOO immigrants would be an epoch
marking event in any other celtury.
Here it is merely an incident. All En-
land is coming over as soon as it can
secure passage. There is no abatement
in the immigration from Italy or from
Russian Poland, and the news in1m
the Pacific coast is that the japanese
are coming over in shiploads, a thou
sand at a time. The invasion Of New
England by the French Canadians and
by the Portuguese is an old story.
So large an admixture from wide
ly separated nations and places will
add TO the composite character of our
future population, but this country
long ago demonstrated its capacity for
the absorption Of the increase by immi-
grafton. Fifty years ago, when our
population was only 23,191 600, we re-
ceived in the five years from 1S49 to
1854 inclusive an accession Of 2,214,00C
immigrants. In the five years from
1880 10 1884 inclusive the immigrants
numbered just 100000 our population
then being 50,000,000. The immigration
for the four fiscal years ending with
last July was only a trife over mil
lion and a quarter; for the eight
months OF the present year the figures
are 255,495. If the Spring rush should
bring the total up to 100000 it would
still give us a smaller total for the five
years than during the previous periods
.of greatest immigration Of twenty and
nifty years ago.
