FACTS ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

From 1851 to 1860 Austria Hungary
sent no imm grants to this country. or
not enough to make any impression
upon the statistics. but between 1861
and 1870 the immigration from that
country was 0.4 per cent, during the
next decade 2.6 per cent, from 1881 to
1890, 81 per cent. while during the last
decade it was 1911 per cent. Italy be-
ginning with 0.2 per cent during the
period from 1921 to 1850, increased to 2
per cent between 1871 and 1880. and to
nearly per cent during the next dec
ade. while during the last decade that
country furnished III per cent of our
total number. The proportions FOR
Russia and Poland are almost Identical
with those of Italy. Those two co,ln-
tries taken together. beginning with
only o. per cent of our total number
of immigrants between 1921 and 1850,
increased but very slightly until be-
tween 1881 AID 1890, when they con-
tributed per cent. and during the
last decade 1863 per cent. These three
Russia and Poland-taken together
contributed during the last decade SOL
per cent Of our immigrants. The state
having lie largest percentage of for
eign-born in 1900 was North Dakota,
that element constituting 35.4 per cent.
the next largest being Rhode Island,
with 3l.4 per cent The other extreme
is found IN the southern states. where
the lowest percentage is in North Caro-
lima, her foreign-born constituting but
OF per cent of her total population.
Nearly all the states in the southern
section come below per cent. The
number OF foreign born in some states
seems TO be decreasing in fact. the
percentage in the whole country has
decreased ] per cent. The migration
of immigrants from states is very
interesting subject. South Carolina.

whole population foreign born, lost
11.S per cent of it during the last dec
ade: Nebraska, l2.i Kansas, IA; Ken

changing its habitat as industrial in

cussed In England seriously. At the re-
cent engineering congress experts de-
clared the project to be entirely prac-
ticable. One noted authority held that
such tunnel could be built between
Wigtownshre in Scotland and the
County Antrim coast in Ireland in a
dozen years. Another expert thought
that there would be less trouble in
making this tunnel than the one under
the Mersey or the one under the Sew
ern. The length NJ the proposed tun-
mel would be thirty-four and half
miles. or which twenty-five would be
under the sea Trains would run
through it at the rate Of sixty or sew
enty miles an hour. The cost of con-
struction is estimated at $50. 600, 900, in
GLIDING interest From political point
of view the tunnel, II is believed, con-
Meeting Belfast and other commercial
centers Of Ireland with the seats of
industrial activity in lower Scotland
and in northern England, would bring
about an economic solidarity beneficial
to both. 1t is believed also that the
tunnel might bring Great Britain and
Ireland nearer together in sentiment
tai as well as an economic way.-ln-

Referring to the great railroad trusts
the Chicago Tribune says:
AN issue of tremendous consequence
is thus being brought to the whole
country. 1t is a matter for conjecture
IL these railroad and financial manipu-
lators comprehend what this issue is
The failure of full and effective gov
eminent regulation which the roads
have so far succeeded in breaking down
means government ownership, nothing
less than that. And toward just that
conclusion the combinations are fore
ing the country. 1t will be great mis-
take to suppose that the present pa
thence of the people with the growing
domination of monopoly is test of

prove to be-
What right has the Tribune to CON

What right has the Tribune ito seek

What right has the Tribune to "at-

that consolidation is the decree Of

the United States of America will
make us what we so long have wished
10 be, "a world power?"
The Tribune threatens government
ownership. which the Tribune and
other Republican newspapers have so
often denounced as POpulist fallacy.
What is the world coming to when so
strong Republican newspaper as the
Chicago Tribune finds it necessary to
raise its voice in protest against mon
opoly and goes so far as to threaten a
Populist remedy for Republican dis
ease?
Can it be that after all there is evil
in the trust system? Can it be after
all that consolidation and destruction
of competition are not good for the
public welfare?

This country can do infinitely more

With quaint coins hung
Above the yellow kerchief on her

And bring to this new land,
To share what We have wrought with

Insistent that we close the great wide

Glide me not in hard supercilious

OF Saxon liberty and Saxon law,
Promised of old and by our hands

Yet would not stand apart
While under Pharoah other peoples

And we are weak If we may be de-

Germany's long continued period OF
industrial depression shows no signs Of
speedily coming to an end. The United
States retains its lead in German trade,
and all attempts to lead the people to
withdraw their patronage from the for
eigners have failed. The Prussian min
lister of commerce and industry has this
to say on one phase of the depression:
THE simple fact is that during the
second half of the last decade we, in
our venturesome enterprise, undertook
too much. We created so many fresh
obligations that the savings of the
country have not been sufficient to pay
for them. These new obligations
amounted to between $200000,OO0 and
$500 900 0C0. or even 10 e greater
amount. and time is needed for adjust
ment."

HARD COAL IN NEW MEXICO.

Anthracite coal, in apparently mex
haustible quantities, is said to have
been found in Cocorro county, N. M.
A Clifton (Ariz.) company has explored
the country along the Arizona and New
Mexico railroad distance of " miles.
and has found great veins of coal just
across the Arizona line in New Mexico
The company has located 5000 acres
near the line of the proposed Colorado
and Gulf railroad, which will be built
from Durango. Col. to Clifton. Rich
coal deposits have also been found in
Arcluleta, near Pagosa Springs, Col.
An oil and coal prospector says:
There's coal for the worlds furnaces
for years. If all that underlies Archu-
leta county were taken out. The dis
covery of extended drifts Of vast di-
mansions has caused hundreds of in
dividuals to seek claims, with view
to profiting from that source If they do
not happen to come within reach Of
the oil flows that are coming as sure as
there Is a moon.'

greatly troubling women in almoct
every city in Canada, and the matter
reached such a stage short time ago
that a meeting of Toronto women was
held in that city to discuss ways and
means for supplying the deficiency. AT
the meeting the discussion turned prin-
cipally on the reported sufiiciency of
negro girls at Barbados in the West

servants if a way could be devised to

An eminent French psychologist
having again given expression to the
theory that insanity and genius are
akin it would be interesting to have
the psychologists explain who so many
men of genius have been sane while
in no sense geniuses. Poe and Byron
offer excellent examples in support OF
the insanity theory, but how, on that
theory, are the psychologists going to
account for Thackeray or Dickens or
Sir Walter Scott or that eminently sane
and wholesome philosopher, William
Shakespeare?

IF Emma Goldman's connection with

be one-hundredth part as intimate as
was Mayor Ashbridge's with the theft
of Philadelphia's streets, she could not

according to the demands of the inter

the Republican campaign fund. The
cattle srust gave more than a million
dollars TO that fund on the express
condition that the duty on hides,
which had been off for many years.
should be reimposed if the Republicans
should gain control of all branches of
the government The contract was
carried out. and tax upon every
household and every individual in the
