A FLOOD TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

The report OF the bureau OF immigration
issued recently from Washington. cover
ing the government year ending with June
last, shows that the tide OF foreign i'm
migration is as high again as it was in
1898 when it broke the record,
The foreigners who come here to live
numbered. during the past twelve months,
something over a half million. Those who
entered the port OF New York alone num-
bered over 1000 Nearly one-third Of
this number. or about $4,000, were
Italians. 10000 OF whom could not read
or write, Included among the new
corners were Germans. English. Irish.
French. Scaad.navians, Poles. Magynrs,
Films, BohomiRns, Hebrews, Croatlans,
slavs, Armenians and a half dozen other
nat,onalttles.
In the past two years nearly a million
immigrants have been admitted to the
United States in spite of such antl-lm-
migration laws as we have. This tide has
broken when it struck our shores and
overlowed the whole country, but the
greater volume has rested In the big
cities adding to the cosmopolitan char
acter, the social and political problems
and the misery now challenging such
earnest attention In our larger popula-
ton centers.

DY STUART AcHEsoNJ

New York, August 9.--(Staff Specially
1t is certainly a very advantageous thing
when going to battle to know just about
as much of the enemy's position and
strength as one knows OF his own and
good campaigner in American politics
will not fail 10 learn and judge unprelu-
diciously the powers of the opposing party.
What shall be here said will with these
considerations in sight try to tell and
y ith absolute lack of bias state the con-
dition OF affairs in New York State as
regards the two great canddates'
chances in the presidential campaign now
on.
In the first place 1t must be understood
that in this commonwealth the political
dividing line OF strength is plainly and
geographically set down. II is spoken OF
az tho Harlem river a stream that used
TO b. Ito northern boundary Of tAe me-
tIopolic. Now tho city and the political
separation is far up into the Bronx. a
borough of Greater New York, but the
Harlem river is still mentioned as the
place where the opposing majorities meet.
Above this, In one way or another the
republicans roll up their majority and
below the voting populace is as surely
democratic as is Texas.
The rural population OF the State is an
old established one. To it republication
is a synonym for the name Of Lincoln, and
this sort OF feeling, mistaken though It
be where the present situation is con-
cerre1, can be understood and respected
net more in the Nos<h than in the South.
Tho only man that ever made an i'm
preston against 1t so far as State elections
are concerned is David Bennett Hill.
Cleveland lost his own district and town
ship and county habitually. Flower gained
little for democracy in his native north
State city but Hill Is a power there
above the Harlem-and so long as citizens
con vote for him without aiding the
greatly feared ambitions of Croker to rule
tho Safe as we'll as his own city, it hiss
done so. Hill was the most really popu-
lar magistrate New York ever had.
~
1t is well that all this is said and
understood even by the partially disin-
