From a number of descriptions

couse it comes from a trustworthy
source. 1t is not an overdrawn
picture.
The awful fate of Miss Mary S. Nor

The character of the immigration
now pouring into America is
matter of sufficient real import
ance to demand the serious con-
sideratlon of thoughtful public
men of all parties. The total
number of immigrants into this
country, through the port of New
York alone, during the past year
was 400, 900, a greater number
than is recorded for any one of
the previous seven years. The
number of German, English and
Irish immigrants was less than
formerly, while the Italians, Poles,
Slavs, and Austro-H ungarians
showed an increase, Italy alone
sending us nearly 100000. The
vast bulk of these people are pau
pers, in all but the technical
meaning of the word, practically
all arc grossly ignorant, and many
are confirmed criminals. In our
humble judgment here is more
real danger than is contained IN all

The Times reproduces elsewhere
"a Picayune special from Lake
Providence. giving an account Of
a presentation to General Catch
ings by the citizens of that town
of a testimonial Of their apprecia-
ton Of his eminent services in the
cause Of river Improvement.
The true significance of this in
cident rs in the fact of its occur
renee outside the borders of his
own state. Beyond the indefatiga-
BILE industry which he brought to
bear upon the study of the lntrica-
cies of the vast problem which he 80
thoroughly mastered, the greatest
source of General Catchings' pow
or as an exponent all that per-
tanned to river matters, was in the
breadth Of view which character
lied his treatment of the subject.
II is this that has made him for
years the greatest authority in
Congress upon everything bearing
on the Mississippi river problem
In its larger sense, as a national
waterway He was wise enough
to forsee, at the beginning Of his
congressional career, that in the
absolute liberalization of ques-
tion SO ramifying as to merit and
demand the broadest possible
treatment, lay his only hope Of Sc
curing from the national govern
ment the aid of which the lower
riparian states, In common with
his own constituency, stood so
sorelY in need.
In the future which shall wit
ness the realization of oil he has
so earnestly strlven for, It will be
difficult TO realize that there once
existed men SO small as to lay this
the secret of bis success as q
crime at his door. Yet 1t is true
that because he has secured aid for
the entire river he has been &C
eused of neglecting the interests
of his own district. Such is the
fate Of many public men, how
ever, whose range of vision has
been beyond the low horizon
which bounds the view of peanut |
politics.
General Catchings' services have
been national in their character, |
and what ''the great pac;fcator"
was to the broad scheme of intern
al Improvements in its entirety, he
will be recognized as having been
to one of its greatest branches
the improvement by the nation of
the nations greatest waterway.

The world is composed of peo-
pie holding conflicting opinions,
and concessions are necessary in
every walk of life. A little good
nature and a little forbearance go
a great way toward promoting
progress, as well as peace. Moth
ing Is gained by perpetuating an
attitude of hostility, either after a
war, a personal disagreement, or
a political campaign. All this is
trite, but it is philosophy, and no
harm will come of our thinking
over it, just now.

AS giving some idea Of the

live, and Of TIE meaning of the
figures developed by the recent
census, we quote the following
from an address Of DR.. L. q,
Powers, chief statistician: ssThe

visible material wealth of this
country now has q value of ninety
billion dollars. This lsan addition
since 1890 of twenty five billion
dollars. This sum added 10 our
wealth in the last decade, as you
all know, is the savings of our
people in that period. They we're
the savings of a people who are
better fed, clothed and housed than
any equal number of human beings
in any other land or time, and yet
it is saving greater than all the
people Of the western continent
