immigration in 1901-Sc'ne Significant Re
turns.
Nearly half a million immigrants en-
tered the United States during the fiscal
year ending July 1, 1901. This number
was some 10000 more than that of the
previous year and more than double that
of 1898, the year of smallest Immigration
for % years. A comparison Of the ar
rivals during 1901 with those of 1882
shows in marked degree that the +charac-
ter of the immigration has very radically
changed. In 1882, when 1892 immi-
grants entered the country, the largest in
flow in the history of the United States,
the northwestern countries of Europe,
Germany and Sweden, Great Britain and
Ireland, furnished the bulk of the new
Americans. During 1901, on the other
hand the arrivals from these countries
formed but very small share of the in
flow. Their place was taken by Austria
Hungary. Italy and Russia.
For instance, in 1882, 250,630 Ger
mans entered the United States. but in
the fiscal year just ended their number
fell TO 81 ,G41, the number of Swcdcs from
6lG07 TO 23,3331, and of the English from
S239f to 12.214. Meanwhile the number
of italians has increased from 80, ,159 in
1882 TO 1886 in 1901, and OF Russians
from u $50 to S5,257.
The following table shows the number
of immigrants from the principal Eu-
ropcan countries during the two years
compared and the per cent. of the total
immigration contributed by each country:

Civeden House has been written large
in English history. MOnarchs have paced

three dukes have made Cliyeden their
home, and many a plot has been Matched
there to change the destiny of nations.
Perhaps the most celebrated of Cliveden' 4
owners was George NilliGrs, second Duke
of buckingham, the witty and profligate
favOrite of Charles the Second. He bought
the site from the ancient family of the
| Manfelds and began the erection Of a
magnificent house there. Many a wild
escapade was played in the Cliyedcn of
| those days, and il was there that the Duke
of buckingham carried on his famous hirt-
alton with the Countess of Shrewsbury.
The Earl of Shrewsbury challenged the
| Duke to duel. and the encounter was
witnessed by the Countess. disguised as

The most important feature of the

for the last. Admiral Crownins HELD
already has given warning to con-
gress of the absolutely imperative
need Of the navy for more officers
and men. Now he adds some start
ling figures to support his renewed
recommendations. He says if the de-
partment were called upon to man
the ships for war service, it could not
meet the demand. There are not
enough line officers to man the ships
already constructed. When, in three

struction shall have been completed,

man them and few auxiliary yes

Mr.. cummins in cre.co.

Last Friday afternoon Mr.. Cummins
addressed small audience in Cresco.
We were not able to. be present but
are Informed by reliable person who
was that his speech was confined
almostentirely to subjectsupon which,
as governor, he will not be called upon
to act and upon topics which do not
come Within the legislative province
of the state legislature.
The Cuban question, the war in the
Philippines, the Money Standard, the
Tariff, the Monroe Doctrine, the Ship
Subsidy Bill, we are told were the
topics Of his speech, with scarcely an
allusion to the grave and important
matters that will come before him
and upon which our people are called
upon to pass at the ensuing election.
The topics to come before the legis-
lature and upon which Mr.. Cummins
as governor would be called upon to
act, are laws for the taxation of rail-
road property upon the same basis of
valuation as is put upon all other
kinds of property: Laws to prevent
the stuffing of pay rolls about the state
house; laws to prevent building and
loan associations from plundering
their patrons; laws to compel common
carriers to accept reasonable compen-
satton for the service they render the
public; laws to wipe out irresponsible
insurance com panies, and to prevent
combinations among the responsible
ones to fleece policy holders; laws to
regulate and control the traffic in
liquor so as to promote the cause of
temperance, and do away with the
horde of unlicensed boot leggers that
curse the state and make the people
drunk with their vile decoctions.s All
these questions are subjects of state
legislation, and Mr.. Cummins should
have informed his hearers what his
opinions were in regard to them.
Several counties were carried for him
on the question Of railway taxation,
yet he said nothing about it.
