1t is now said that Mr. Secretary OF
the Navy Paul Morton will retire July
i and return to railroad management
There are conflicting rumors as to
which railroad he will devote his time
and energies. The latest is to the eff
feet that he is to become manager Of
a New York subway system.

What will the Republicans do now,
poor things? The Baptists of the
United States of America in national
convention assembled have demanded
the expulsion Of Reed smoot, the Nor.
mon senator from Utah There are
more-many more Baptists than Nor
mons in this land of the free and home
of the brave. What will it profit the
Republicans to gain the Mormon vote
and lose the Baptists? Truth to tell,
the Republican leaders have from the
first been holding with the hare and
running with the hounds in all this
Mormon business. Wonder If they can
successfully play double forever.

Republican papers appear to think
that. while a deficit in the treasury I'M
der a Democratic administration, but
produced by Republican laws, was an
awful thing, a deficit under a Repub-
lican administration, caused by Repub-
lican laws and Republican extraya-
gance, is all right Much depends on
whose OK IS gored. The people may
take different view from the Re
publican organ grinders. Who knows

influence on the destiny of America

the century One Is the emigration id
large numbers Of our citizens to the
Manitoba region, an emigration made
up Of our very best people. This
movement will unquestionabiy hasten
our annexation of all the British North
American possessions, a consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished.
While this hegira northward is In prog
ress there is a more or less systematic
effort to divert white foreign immigra-
ton to the southern states. Both the
German and Italian ambassadors are
actively aiding this movement Repre-
sentatiyes of both the German and
italian governments are touring the
south investigating the conditions and
looking out favorable locations for
their countrymen There can be little
doubt that this movement will assume
large proportions and will in a genera
tion or two largely modify the cllarac-
ter Of southern citizenship Hitherto
it has been Influenced very little by the
huge tide Of immigration into this
country in the last tliree-quarters of a
century That it will somewhat re-
lieve temporarily the congestion of
population in the large northern cities
may be naturally assumed, and truly.
but that it will end in crowding those
cities with negroes crowded out of the
south by the white immigrants is clear.
which will hasten the disappearance
of the African race from this conti-
nent 1t is doomed to die out after the
manner of the Indian.
Out of this double migration into
Canada and to the south-arises puz-
zling question, and it is this: Why do
not the Americans who are expatriat-
ing themselves go to the southern
states instead of journeying toward
the north pole? The climate of Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi is
much milder than that of Manitoba:
crops are much more diversified; living
is cheaper. 1t will not do to say that
it IS northern prejudice, for large num-
bers of native Missourians are settling
in Manitoba-men of substance, kin to
the southrons. both Democrats and
Republicans Within short days
travel to Arkansas, with its rich lands
and delightful climate, they choose to
live under a foreign flag and to brave
the rigorous winters of the hyper
borean region hundreds of miles dis
tant. The thing is inexplicable. Nat
urally they would prefer to remain
closer to blood relations and to old
friends By every rule of reasoning
heretofore recognized it would seem
that they would prefer American in
stitutions to British Every lover Of
his country who considers the subject
would prefer to see these American
home seekers settle in our own south
ern states and to see the Italians re.
main beyond seas.

HE stand patters, of which the
A American Economist is the or
gan, are constantly shouting
that the tariff is settled. but
nevertheless and notwithstanding the
Economist takes up about one-half Its
valuable space larruping Republican
revisionists, to say nothing Of the vi
cious side wipes which it gives US poor
Democrats Query If the tariff ques-
ton is settled for all time to come. as
the stand patters constantly assert.
why waste any more time about it2
Why sauander ammunition on what the
late President Andrew Jackson would
denominate dead ducks If he were
still in the denominating business :?
Why pay any attention to such tariff
reformers Gas Governor Cummins of
Iowa and Representative Babcock of
Wisconsin? True, Cummins is the Re-
publican governor of Republican
state. and Babcock is not only Re-
publican representative froi the Re
publican state of Wisconsin,, but is
also member of the house committee
on ways and means and chairman of
the Republican congressional campaign
committee Still, If the tariff issue is
settled, why hold Cummins and Bah
cock up to ridicule? Nobody cares
what they think about slavery, and
their opinions on that subject are just
as valuable as their opinions on the
tariff, provided the latter is res ju-
dicata The very fact that the Econo-
mist and other eminent stand patters
continue to talk tariff is proof positive
that the question is not settled and
that they know it is not settled, not
withstanding their fervent and multi
tudinous assertions
