DOwIE's CRUSADE.

The strange crusade of John Alexander
Dowie and his followers from Zion City,
near Chicago. to New York. ostensibly to
work the reformation and restoration of
the metropolis, will attract worldwide at
tention and much inquiry into the secret of
this mans wonderful success as an Geo.
nomic and religious organizer.
1t is all very simple. Dowie is neither the
first nor will he be the last man to make
a highly successful combination of religious
and economic work. Joseph Smith, ably
followed by Brigham Young. did the same
thing on a very much larger scale. founding
a great and fourishing conomic-religious
Shaker communities and other socialistic
schemes ave succeeded whenever the re-
ligious spirit was sufficiently dominant 10
insure strict obedience TO certain rules OF
conduct.
The emotional religious strain in human
nature Is very strong. and where one can
select his people with an eye to this element
I'm their natures and then segregate them
from the rest OF mankind, industry, simple
living. strict obedience TO the general plan
of cooperative production and the absence
OF crime will do the rest very surely and
very quickly. Dowie controls his COM
munity absolutely and holds his people. one
and all, to steady industry, plain living and
frugality, while at the same time their
productive industries are conducted along
the most modern scientific lines. Instead of
large payments of wages TO be spent in
luxurious living or squandered even more
foolishly. his people get merely enough for
comfortable living. They do all their buying
from Zion stores of various kinds: the COM
munity consumes little or nothing that it
does not itself produce, and 1t produces
much that 1t does not consume, but sells
TO advantage IN the outside markets. Plain
reason could not hold them TO this. nor could

a fad OF philosophy. 1t requires the power
full appeal to the imagination and emotions
that only religion can ~make-hence the as
sumption of high religious functions by
Dowie, Smith, Young and all the other lead
ers that have, from time TO time, worked
this scheme successfully.
The conception is not at all a new one, but
it requires a man Of very large ability sue
cessfully to put it into execution; and that
Dowie is a man of very great ability nobody
that has come in contact with him in a
business way can doubt. His factories are
planned by very competent engineers and
are up to date in every way, and the most
advanced theories Of organization for pro-
duction are put into execution. The only
problem in modern manufacturing that does
not interest him is that of labor unions and
wages. His way of obtaining labor is
through his religious scheme, which gives
him labor at a minimum cost and no walk
ing delegates to disturb his dreams. Indeed.
1T is not at all unlikely that his present
crusade to New York is nothing more nor
less than a magnificent advertising scheme
10 obtain more cheap and subservient labor
by obtaining more converts. And viewed in
this light. it Is one of the shrewdest bust
ness moves that has been made in a century.

KING EMANUEL'S VISIT TO PARIS.

The visit of the King and Queen of Italy
to Paris probably has more significance
of some kind than appears on the surface.
Royalties do not make calls merely to ex-
change the compliments of the season or
talk about the weather. Paris is a de-
lightful city to visit and no people know
better than the French how to give dis
tinguished visitors a spectacular welcome.
but for all that the present visit doubtless
has some political significance. a dispatch
says that at a brilliant banquet given the
royal guests by President Loubet wednes-
day night both the President and King
offered toasts expressing their pleasure at
and dwelt on the happy effect the Franco
Italian friendship would have on the rela-
lions of the European powers generally.
From this it would seem probable that the
present visit Is intended to %inaugurate
closer relations between the two countries
than have existed for some years past.
About twenty years ago Italy became SO
jealous of French aggression in Tunis,
which was construed as threatening Sicily,
that after having appealed in vain to
Austria and Germany to protect her Medi-
terranean interests, she finally, after much
parleying. turned to England. which gave
her the desired support. A quasi alliance
between Great Britain and one Latin gov
eminent against another Latin government
seemed strange, but it continued for many
years. Last year an agreement was en-
tered into between France and Italy for the
protection of Italian interests in the Medi-
terranean. which superseded the former one
with Great Britain. Shortly afterward the
French minister for foreign affairs stated
that Italy had given France a free hand
in the west of Tunis. and intimated that
Italy would be permitted to occupy Tripoli
il she wished. Since then France and
Italy have been drawing closer together.
and 1t is said the statesmen of both coun-
tries recognize that there are possibilities
in the present visit of great Importance,
which may lead TO still closer relations.

THE COUNCIL REPUBLICAN.

The election of a Republican majority in
the Council is very gratifying, not merely
from a party point of view. but because the
Journal regards It as a great bulwark
against possible graft of the larger kind.
1t is not likely that 1t will hamper the new
mayor in the least in any matters that are
in line with honest and economical govern
ment, but ii will stand between the Demo-
cratic administration and the people in the
matter of expenditure of taxes and in fran
chises.

IRREGULARITIES IN NATURALI-
ZATIOy.

Special agents of the government are
making an investigation Of naturalization ir-
Irregularities in various States, and some of
the results are rather startling. For exam
pie, it is found that a Chicago judge admin
istered the oath Of citizenship to 1880 for
eigners in one day, evidently swearing"
them in lots of a hundred or more at a
time. 1t is. of course, absurd to imagine
that a newly-made citizen by this whole
sale process could have been given any con-
ception of the solemnity Of the obligation OF
citizenship. or that the judge could have
taken any means whatever of satisfying
himself that the applicants had even COM
piled with the formal requirements, much
less that they were really fitted TO become
citizens of the Republic.
The federal authorities are beginning none
too soon their investigation, for the high
tide of American prosperity, coupled with
an unusual depression in some parts of
Europe, has resulted in the highest immi-
grafton figures ever known. Unfortunately
these migrants are not of Teutonic blood,
the Germans and Scandinavians and Eng
iiSH, lOI yet VI ttitlC OlISlH, SuCn dS Fthe
Irish and Scotch. All these were easy to as
simulate, but the S%lavonic, Greek and Ital-
ian immigration of the present brings in a
large strain of Alpine and Mediterranean
stock, so utterly different from us in point
of view and habit of thought that they will
require at least two or three generations on
American soil before they can absorb
American ideals and fit in with American
institutions.
1t is impossible to lay too much stress
upon the Importance of a homogeneous
population. Dignifed and sane self-gov-
eminent is not a thing to be taught in a
day or a generation. 1t has been a good
many centuries since the Saxons, the
Angles, the Danes and the Normans began
to blend their blood and build UP a system
of self-government that has resulted,
through more than a thousand years of
travail, in the splendid structure of Amer
lean self-governing freedom. 1t is a most
precious heritage of the present generation
of Americans, and it should be protected
with the utmost care.

his boards have very great power in the
service and improvements, in supervising
all public work and in enforcing the laws.
But the Council levies the taxes and makes
the appropriations and authorizes loans.
The Council can confirm or reject any fran
sition to prevent either great extravaganza
or the giving away of the peoples property
in the way of franchise rights without due
compensation TO the people. 1t has nothing
to do with law enforcement or the executive
