LARGE IMMIGRATION.

There are early signs of a heavy
immigration this year to this country
The condition OF the aborlng classes
IN Europe is becoming oppressive, and
many are turning towards Americas
shores to seek remunerative work and
comfortable homes.
About week ago the German
steamer Rhein landed 2.4O9 immigrants
IN New York, and this Is said to be the
largest number Of steerage passengers
ever brought over In one ship. Well,

zens, who come for the purpose of

ain or Belgium TO say nothing OF In
ula or emma. And there can be no
good reason why this continent should
not be able to sustain as many of the
human family as the countries men
toned.
immigration is the best standard by
which to measure prosperity. At pres
ent the United States seem to be an
Eden to those who toll for starvation
wages, while they are made to carry
heavy burdens Of miltarlsm and are
denied reasonable representation In the
governments of the countries. for which
they are taught TO be ready to die at
any moment. No wonder that they
come by the thousands.

AMERICAN GENEROSITY.

The New York Times. in its Saturday
Review presents some interesting data
concerning public gifts and requests
in the United States during the last
year OF the century. They are from
advance sheets OF the Appleton's An
nual Cyclopedia. Gifts and requests
amounting to $1,000 or over are included
in the list, but ordinary UNCONVENTIONAL
contributions for educational, benevo-
lent, and religious purposes, and also
state and municipal appropriations to
public institutions are excluded.
The figures show that even with these
limitations, gifts and requests for be-
nevolent purposes amounted during the
year 1900 TO s475OO,O0O, and this Is the
largest sum for such purposes in eight
years, with the exception Of 1899, when
charitable donations reached the sum
Of s62,75O,OOO. During the last eight
years the total gifts and requests with
in the limitations specified, amounted
to s3li05O,OOO. 1t may be added that
the present year. though only one-fourth
gone, is keeping well up with its pre-
decessors,
1t Is edifying to contemplate such fig
ures at a time when there is an i'm
preston that generosity is vanishing
and selfshness predominant Our
age may be one Of mammon worship,
but there evidently are thousands who
either have never bowed down In wor-
ship before that strange god, or who
have turned away from their evil ways.
