The Population Of New York.

In the city OF New York after two hum
dred and fifty years of existence an over
whelming majority Of the population is
foreign-born or OF foreign-born parent
age, and the percentage of this ma ority
is steadily increasing In 1900 only 1879
per cent. OF the population Of the borough
of Manhattan were native whites born
of native parents, and in the whole town
only 2l.5 per cent.
In 1885, when the foreign population
Of New York was increasing at a rapid
rate because of the swelling Of the vol
ume of immigration the native American
spirit was aroused to alarm and the
Know Nothing movement in politics had
it's beginning here. Between 1880 and
1910 about 100000 immigrants had ar
rived in the United States or over four
times as many as had come over between
1920 and 1890. After 1916 came still
greater increase in immigration, because
Of the Irish potato famine, so that be-
tween ls47 and 1857 the total number thus
added to our population was nearly
three and half millions; and the Know
Nothing movement spread portentously
throughout the Union. but only to die out
very suddenly and very completely soon
after. The last remains of Know Moth
ingism, We may remark incidentally,
were in the South. In the Thirty-sixth
Congress, from 1859 to 1881, it had
representation OF twenty-five. two in the
Senate and twenty-three in the House,
all from Southern States.
To this day the South remains the one
part of the Union in which the white
population is almost wholly unaffected
by foreign immigration. Its percentage
of foreign blood is only trifling In the
whole eleven States Of the old Southern
Confederacy there are only about one
quarter as many foreign-born as there
are in the city Of New York alone, and
the single State Of Texas contains more
than one-half of them. The insignfi-
canoe OF the foreign element in the ten
other of those States is shown in this
table from the census Of 1900:

The Episcopal Agitation Against
Professionalism.

The present agitation for change Of
the name OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church is not likely to be successful in
accomplishing it's end, but it will continue
with increasing earnestness in spite Of
temporary defeat. 1t is a logical con-
sequence Of the Oxford Movement, be-
gun seventy years ago with the purpose
of tearing away every ligament Of con-
nection between the Church of England
and Professionalism, and it will not
cease until that end is attained, even
if the result shall bring about the dis
ruption of tho Episcopal Church as now
organized.
With only one or two exceptions, tho
large dioceses OF the United States have
expressed in convention opinions un-
favorable to any such change, for the
present, at least. The Protestant spirit
in the Episcopal Church has asserted
itself 80 strongly that it seems safe to
assume that at the General Convention
at Boston next year the project will
be defeated or, at most, the question
will be postponed for another three
wears. Even among those who have
little liking for the present name there
is agreement with the opinion expressed
by Bishop BURGESS to the Long Island
diocesan convention, on Tuesday, that "a
change at this crisis is bad politics =;
and, probably, the great mass of the
Episcopalian laity have thought 40 little
on the matter that they are Indifferent
to it. The only party holly Jealous for
the change is the party to which every
thing savoring Of Professionalism is ut
terly distasteful, but it hurts its cause
because of the very intensity OF its
hatred.
We have given space Of late to many
letters in defence of Ritualism, or the
so-called Catholic movement in the
Episcopal Church. but it will have been
observed that their publication has
always brought out replies from other
Episcopalians in which their spirit and
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-05-28

argument were treated with contempt
even with loathing. The Ritualistio
type Of man Is ridiculed, yet 1t cannot be
gainsaid that among the most prosper
GUS Episcopal churches OF New YORK are
the two in which Ritualism Is carried to
its furthermost extremes; and probably
there are no others in the town OF which
the congre gations are composed 30
largely of men, even at the early morning
masses If these men were few and
Of social and intellectual insignificance
and their Ritualism was merely the ex-
preston OF fnical and whimsical taste,
with no roots in solid conviction, the
attack on them would not be 30 bitter.
In truth, they represent movement
that now actually threatens the over
throw Of the Establishment in England
and the disruption of the Episcopal
Church in this country.
As the Rev. E. A. WATSON, the rector
Of the Episcopal st. Stephens Church
of Newark, says in his parish paper Tor
May, " it is not the name so much as the
thing that these Catholics hate, or
as Bishop CAPERs Of South Carolina puts
it, they want to haul down the Prot
estant flag and run up new standard.
To quote again from Mr.. WATSON, in
most points they are Roman Catholic in
a Protestant Church. and no wonder
they are uneasy, no wonder their posi-
ton is becoming intolerable,' for " the
Episcopal Church cannot be both Prot
estant and Catholic.
The agitation for change in the name
proceeds from an impulse so revolution
airy that the whole spirit Of conservatism
in the Episcopal Church, heretofore the
most conservative Of churches, must
eventually be aroused against it. 1t is
not the crazy scheme the Newark
rector calls it. 1t is an agitation which
has been gathering force and increasing
In intensity of conviction during the
whole seventy years since its beginning
in the Oxford Movement. 1t may be
called illogical, but it is not crazy
1t is very serious movement, for it may
be said to lead inevitably to the Roman
Catholic Church, to which NEWMAN,
the guiding spirit Of it's start, at last
rendered complete submission. In other
words, it is portentous uprising against
Professionalism and in favor Of Catholi-
cism-an attempt to bring about radi-
cal religious reaction which will not be
stayed by any action next years Episco-
pal General Convention may take.

NORTH RIVER PIER EXTENSION.
Another Point Against It Raised by tho
Engineer Onoe Of the Army.

WASHINGTON, May pa new point In
opposition to the proposed extension OF the
pierheads in the North River has been raised
by the Engineer Office Of the army II ia
that q further extension Of the piers Will
result in narrowing the channel to such an
extent as TO cause an increase in the currenl;
which might interfere with shipping and
make traffic dangerous.
Dock Commissioner Hawkes. OF New
York has explained to the War Department
that even if it were true that the extension
would cause the current to increase ~
rapidity it would not be dangerous to nav.
CATION, as the current in the East R;ver Is
much more rapid than in the North river
and there are no more accidents IN con5e'
quence.
Gen. Gillespie Chief Of Engineers. has
gone to New York TO measure the current
as it is at the present time and compare II
with the current Of the East River ana

When only lanterns swung outdoors
All through the lonesome nights.
And we had no steam heated fats
In those Colonial days,
But In the big and massive hearths
Old hick 'ry logs would blaze.

And let me hear the knock
And rattle Of the spinning wheel,
The tick Of grandpa's clock:
And let me see the family prints
That hung about each wall.

Oh, let me SEQ them all.
Oh, give me back the old Dutch days

And drink the old, old wine.

In four Of the Assembly districts Of
New York alone, the Fourth, Eighth,
Tenth and Sixteenth, there are more
Of the foreign-born than in all these
ten States. In the three States Of Missis-
sippi, North Carolina and South Carolina
with total population Of more than four
and three-quarter millions, there are
not, all told, as m.ny foreigners as there
are in even single New York Assembly
district where they are much fewer than
in the districts generally.
The volume of immigration is now
greater than ever before in our history,
the number Of arrivals for the present
year promising to reach 100000. Its
source, too, has changed from northern
to eastern and southern Europe, and it
may be that the old agitation for an in
crease in the period Of residence required
for naturalization from five to twenty
one years may be revived. Such move
ment might get support from foreigners
already naturalized. but it's purpose
would appeal more strongly to the labor
unions, because OF their desire to lessen
the competition of foreign labor. At any
rate, an urgent demand for severer
measures OF restricting immigration, so
as to exclude undesirable elements, may
be expected.

There are naturally doubts about Her

tice in such company with l2s pounds on

old who has shown that he is worthy de-

Iamplighter who was barely beaten in the
BROOKLYN Handicap of 1893 and was twice

he is-he will, as they say, take whole lot

Mr. LOPEZ, is interesting for his defeat the
