TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Will you allow to call your attention to
aspect Of divorce with the right of rernarrisge
which has not received the consideration it de-
serves? Ny contention is that all such legislation,
instead of being, its advocates plead, a remedy
for martial unhapplness, is the most prolific source
of misery. Ny appeal is 10 the terrible showing
marriage and divorce which forms part of the
report of the Commissioner of Labor for 1889 This
is, unfortunately, the latest official document on
the subject we possess, though a new and much
terrible one, understand. is now in prepara-
tion at Washington. The report referred to shows
that II the year 1856 alone there were granted in
the United States 1855 divorces, but. it is well
known that the ratio has increased fearfully since
that dHte-more than double in some States-and
the population has increased at least 80 per cent
1t is than probable that fifty thousand would
represent the minimum annual number in 1904
And think what that fact signifies! Think of the
nfenta; suffering and misery resulting. not only
to the hundred thousand persons Immediately
involved but also to the children and other near
relatives! 1t is not an exaggeration to say that.
with fifty thousand divorces pain and suffering
of the keenest kind are brought directly home to
at least half a million persons every year.
And what is the cause of all. or nearly all, the
misery which thus leads to divorce and
follows divorce2 Is 1t that the married life
Of all these many thousands was of itself
wretched that separation was a much less
evil than union; in fact, a necessary remedy?
cases where the conduct of other Of the par
ties would tend to destroy the happiness of mar
riage. But unless human nature generally, or that
portion of it in the United States, particularly.
has grown radically worse within the last hundred
years this, proportion Of unhappy marriages Is
wholly abnormal and must be referred to some
other cause. AS It - notorious that the divorce
habit is chiefly confined to native Americans
that convenient scapegoat, our foreign popuIa-
ton is not available just here. Where then' are
we 70 seek for the source of this terrible epidemic?
7 think the statistics which I have already quoted
will themselves answer.
Just north Of our Great Lakes and an arbitrary
geographical line is another American people,
repubio in everything but name, and with similar
ancestry to our own. Yet. while in the twenty
wears ending with 1885, 32876 divorces were granted
in these United States during the same period there
were lust 116 in Canada! (See United States re-
mort page 1OO1) In other words. while in the
United States there one divorce to every $50
of the population. there was In Canada only one to
every $4,000.
Now can It be that human nature is so radically
hetter across the imaginary boundary line that dl-
videe us from our Northern neghbors? Or. If 1t is

RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.
Undesirable Foreigners Should Be Kept Out
Of This Country.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Our member OF COngress-elect. ". s. Ben
nett, In his talk before the Woman's Republican
Club, seems TO me to have taken far too rosy
view Of the immigration problem. He says-so The
Tribune OF the nth inst. puts it-that the ''unde-
sirable immigrant is a commodity and ''the
evils resulting from immigration were only tenn
porary."
Now. one who has spoken publicly and ap-
peared in the press IN favor OF the restriction Of
immigration I would like to present some points
adverse to these views and In line with the
words OF Herbert Parsons. that immigration. as 1t
is, makes things very hard for the poor American.
If would increase the opportunities for raising
the social condition and character Of our working
classes, and would keep up a fair standard OF

HEROES OF PORT ARTHUR.
Admiration for Deeds of Bravery on Both
Sides.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Having read with intense interest your &C
counts of the siege and surrender Of Port Arthur
which without doubt is the most momentous
event which has occurred in the world for great
many wears would like to express my admiration
for the brave heroes who fought and fell in one OF
the bloodiest sieges Of modern history.
Notwithstanding that my whole-hearted sym
nathv is entirely with the Japanese, it appears to
me that General Stoessel has succeeded remarkably
we'll in accomplishing what few of his critics could
have done 1t was not his but the governments 5
fault that he was not kept supplied with enough
men ammunition and provisions for longer SIEGE
and II stands 10 reason that when the Meet was
once forced to frighen the Japanese from the mar
bor with blank cartridges there must have been
a scarcity Of ammunition TO fall back upon.
To sustain pride it Is essential TO have GER
tain amount of courage but the chief reason why
he doggedly persisted in holding Port Arthur so
long was because he knew the danger to General

These figures tell the story OF striking decline
in American wheat exports to this countrys
greatest customer. the United Kingdom-a de-
cline which may be explained by the greatly IN
creased output Of the Canadian wheatfelds .:
the Northwest the growth of consumption at
home. and the fact that with wheat less than 81
bushel farmers find it more profitable to cult
vate corn and send il TO market in the form Of
hogs and beeyes. IN regard 10 home consump-
fion, statisticians estimate that six bushels OF
wheat per capita IN the United States are need
ed for food and seed. and with population Of
S0Oo0000 this would make the home consump-
ton. in round numbers. 4S0.O00O00 bushels. In
1905 the United States exported 100000
bushels OF wheat ana -four. and although the
figures are not yet at hand It is estimated that
in the last year the exports will not reach half
that amount. Should present conditions
tinue especially 81 followed by one or two poor
seasons. the United States would soon be ready
20 consume every bushel Of wheat produced in
this country.
