sim Another Element Being Added
to the CosmopoIifan PopuIa-
tfon OF This Country.

Croatia Is officially described in the
somewhat complicated geographical
subdivisions Of Austria as "a province
OF the empire forming with SlavOnia
& kingdom united with Hungary" IN
I'll last year the tide Of foreign immi-
grafton into the United States, which
has included people Of almost every
race and nationality, did not bring
any material number Of Croats, and in
the census figures Of 1890 II was not
thought necessary TO make any sep
arate subdivision for CrOats, though
Portuguese residents Of this country,
Greeks, East Indians, Turks, Pacific
Islanders, Central Americans and ma
tiTes Of the province Of Luxembourg
were separately enumerated. Accord
ing to the figures presented at the
barge Office IL appears that in 1898 the
number Of Croats who arrived at this
port as immigrants was 6,s37- In 1899
the number was nearly doubled, be
ing 1854, and, while the figures Of
January, 1900, have not been COM
pleted, It is certain that the proper
ton OF increase heretofore established
viii be maintained this year.
The fact Of the matter is that with
the increased prosperity Of the United
States since March, 1897, there has
not only been an increase in the num-
Der Of immigrants, but an even great
CT increase in the number Of cOun-
tries from which immigrants have
been drawn to the United States
Thus, there has been large addition

and New York, though the first city
to have a Syrian colony is no longer
the only one. There has been a very
large increase, too, in the number Of
Greek immigrants, and there has been
some addition to the number from
Turkey, Portugal and northern Africa,
and a very marked increase in the
number Of immigrants from Finland.

A writer is thus quoted by the Chi

which illustrates forcibly how easy an
accident might have affected the whole
course Of history. A few engineers, of
whom Sir Bevans Edwards is the only
survivor, composed the party which
blew up the docks at SebastOPOl. There
was a shaft so feet deep, with a gallery
running horizontally from it. At the
bottom Of the shaft, just inside the gal
lery, stood one GordOn-after Of China
and KhartOum-with a lighted candle
in his hand. The powder was lowered
IN four barrels and one Of these slipped
from the sings, fell to the bottom Of
the shaft and broke up, so that Cor
don was left standing up to his knees

Mckinley Declining.

There can be no question that within
the last few weeks President McKin-
Iey's prestige as the chief executive Of
the United States has undergone a ma
teriaI decline. 1t has been an Oren
secret for two OF three years past that
the prominent republican leaders have
had a poor opinion Of the president,
and in private conversation have shown
little hesitancy in giving an expression
TO their views. The chief criticism
made has been concerning Mr.. McKin-
ley's want Of stability. He is known to
be everything for all men, and to favor
the views Of the last conner, with little
or no regard to his previous utterances.
There has been no administrative poll
cy for the reason that this implies set
tied and well defined views on public
questions, while President McKinley's
views are quite apt to be one thing to-
day and another tomorrow, even his
cabinet associates find it exceedingly
difficult to hold him to the support Of
measures which they, in agreement
with him, have put forward AS one Of
the most prominent republicans has
said, in somewhat picturesque Ian
guuge: "Mr Mckinley has the back
bone Of a chocolate ecIair."
There is, Of course, an objection on
the part Of political leaders to a presi-
dent with too rigid backbone. The
consistency and self viii Of Mr.. Cleve-
land made him a great many enemies
who could easily have been induced to
be his friends, but a president Of this
type may be a less Objectionable per
son, even to ambitious and asserting
party leaders, than one who stands at
the other extreme and is absolutely
strUctureless so far as his vertebrate
column Is concerned. This tendency
to wobble around has brought both
President Mckinley and his party into
popular contempt in the action on
Porto Rican tariff, for if he had stood
fast on one side or the other, or if he
had changed and then frankly and
decidedly announced his reasons for
change, it would have made matters
much better than they now are. This
has brought out the presidential weak
ness in a conspicuous manner, but has
been IN no way a surprise to those In
Washington who have known for a
long time the existence OF this weak
ness. But, having become exposed
the question is whether the republican
party can afford to go into the cam
paign with the weight Of a presidential
candidate whose feebleness Of VIII
power Is known Of all men--BOstOn

Handurlslng on the wan.


Mr. KOhlsaat, editor Of the Chicago
Tines Herald, is a protectionist Of pro
tectionists. If there is anything in con
temporary testimony, be is the author
OF the gold plank IN the st. Louis plat
form Of the party Of which he has been
for many years a member. He is, be-
sides, a close personal. as we'll as .po-
litieaI, friend Of the president, and
showed his friendship in a substantial
way when the latter, while governor Of
Ohio, got into serious financial en-
barassment
When such a pronounced republican
as Mr. Kohlsaat feels conseientiously
forced to write a leader deuounoing in
the most unequivOcaI terms the legis-
lative crime committed against the
Porto Rieans and the constitution by a
majority Of his party in the house,
and, also In doing 50, to- condemn the
president for being particeps crimInis,
there must be a revolt of serious pro
portions in the republican camp. No
democratic newspaper has arraigned
Mckinley and his house cuckoos for
their trust-inspired attack upon liberty
and humanity more uusparingly than
has the Times Herald.
In winding up his indictment against
Me-. Mckinley aud his fellow TRUSTEES
in the house, Editor KOhlsaat says:
''NO two million dollar sop of customs
rebated for the use aud benefit Of dis
tressed Porto Ricans, can drug the
conscience of the American people, or
luil to sleep the suspicious that insist
that gross injustice is being done to
Porto Rico because the sugar aud to-
baceO trusts dread Cuba aud the Phil
ippines looming in the future"
The Times-HeraId is only one Of the
many republican papers that have de-
nounced the Porto Rican outrage. The
seeds Of party dissentiOn have been
sown broadcast. A wedge has been
driven into republican harmony that
threatens to split it irreparabIy. The

From the Alger intrigue 70 the Ma
crum episode, William Mckinley has
shown himself to be the most helpless,
swiveI-joint that ever wobbIed about
in the presidential chair Of the great
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln Who can recall a single IN
stance in his whole political career in
which be has taken a firm point and
stood for his convictions like q man?
Says the Grand Rapids Democrat:
"The Mckinley administration and its
supporters in congress are building up
a fine reputation for the United States.
The action Of the house, at the insti-
CATION Of the president-who, in turn,
was whipped into line By the protection
pirates-in tariff taxing the people Of
Porto Rico, is not only unjust to a
starving people who welcomed our ar
mics with joy, but it is a gross breach
Of faith. When Gen Miles issued his
proclamation to the Porto Ricsns on
landing his expedition, he said:
81 have not come to make war on
Porto Rico, but against the Spanish
government, and Porto Rico under the
American flag viii enjoy the same
privileges and the same immunities as
the citizens Of the different states and
territories Of the union"

proach," says the Washington Post
