view of the extraordinary efforts
being put forth to divert this popu-
lation movement to Canada and
other colonies. As the British

States receive no governmental

independence they are the crea m Of

1t is notable that the northwest
ern states, though without any

of the total immigration and their
share is of most excellent quality.
The excellence of these newcomers
consists not only in their physique

The Great Wave of Immigration

Although the volume of immi-
grafton into the United States in the
last fiscal year decreased $4,000 as
compared with the number OF the
proceeding year, it was still enor-
nous, being S12,870. To give an
adequate impression of this number
some comparisons need to be made,
1t is about equal to the total popu-
lation of North and South Dakota or
to that Of the whole of Canada from
the Great Lakes to the Pacific. Ii
st. Louis we're to be depopulated
this wave of humanity could fill il
up again and leave about 100000
people for the suburbs.
But we have long since passed
the point in the United States when
the size of the annual humane influx
is a matter of rejoicing. We are
now far more concerned about the
quality. With the increase in recent
years of the number of persons com
ing from eastern and southern
Europe, there has been a tendency
to conclude that the human stock we
are receiving is much inferior to
that we we're getting thirty years
ago. when the northern countries OF
Europe we're almost the only source
Opinion on this point is not unani-
nous, some observers holding that
after all the bulk of people we are
getting from northern Europe are
very good human stock, certain to
improve and flourish wonderfully in
the free life of America.
At any rate, the quality OF the
emigrants coming from northern
Europe has been questioned
Hence, whatever be the opinion
regarding those who come from the
south, there can be no dissatisfaction
with figures that show a great
decline in the past year
in the number of immigrants
from the doubtful countries and a
large increase in those from the
countries Of northern Europe. One
of the most notable gains is that Of
the immigration coming from the

Cause for Great Case.

A queer educational and agricul-
tural complication is reported from
Iowa. A farmer by the name Of
Miller brought a jug of red liquor
out from town and invited one Rea-
ger, a rural pedagogue, to have one
or two on him. The school teacher
accumulated a noisy sort of bootleg
jag and when he took up school
again his pupils all fed in dismay.
Then the school directors fired the
teacher and the grand jury got after
the farmer for attacking the educa-
tional institutions of the state in a
subtle and damaging n against
the statute then and there provided
lin other words hold the men who
provided the booze o guilty than
the man who drank it, although the
position of the latter in the com
munity placed him under greater
obligation than the humble tiller Of
the soil to keep sober. The case
promises to become a cause celebre,
and it may establish precedents that
will have a beneficial bearing upon
both the educational and the agri-
cultural interests of the great state
of Iowa.

Early History of Coal.

When the first two tons OF anthra
cite coal were brought to Philadel-
phia in 1903, the good people of
that city, SO the records state, "tried
to burn the stuff; but at length,
disguised, they broke it up and
made a walk Of it. Fourteen years
later Colonel George Shoemaker
sold eight or ten wagon-loads oft in
the same city, but warrants we're
soon issued for his arrest for taking
money under false pretenses.

TIME LIMIT FIXED.
District Commissioner Report on 11th
Street Railroad Bill.

0tIScL 1kdl1IOdU Dill.
In a report on the bill fixing the time limit
within which the proposed extension of the
Anacostia and Potomac River railroad shall
be completed the Commissioners state that
they deem it advisable that the limit be
fixed at November 1 next. instead of Octo-
Der 1. as specified in the bill. The extension
of the Anacostia railroad mentioned in the
bill Is from the present terminus of the
road, on 18th street and Florida avenue, to
Lydecker avenue. The Commissioners say
in their report on the measure:
"On April 6. 1904, the railroad company
made an application to excavate and dis
tribute material along the proposed extern
sion to install an underground electric sys-
tenn. The necessary permit was issued by
the Commissioners on April 8. 1904, so that,
in accordance with existing law 1T has two
years from that date to complete the ex-
tension. The Commissioners were informed
that the material was to be ordered at once.
THE Commissioners are In receipt Of
letter from the vice president of the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company, of
which the Anacostia and Potomac River
Railroad Company is a. constituent line,
dated April 13, in which he states that It is
the hope and expectation of his company to
commence the construction Of the extension
as soon as possible after July of this year,
but the precise date Of the commencement
and completion win depend upon delivery
of material. He further states that II Is the
desire Of his company to have the road In
OpcTddOn d6 early do poSSlDle aII6E LQaC
date. and that IL the material was on hand
the extension should be started and ready
for operation within sixty days from the
commencement Of the work
THE Commissioners see no objection to
the passage of the bill. The work could
probably be completed by October 1, but In
order to remove all possibility of objection
on the part of the railroad as reason for
the non-passage of the bill the Commits
sioners are willing that the date may be
amended 80 as to read November L.
