and no lack of disposition is shown to
push out into new territory. More
over, SO long as there is new territory
to develop. the problem Of the over
crowded city cannot be a serious one
here. Recently the question of more
evenly distributing the horde of immi-
grants who flock to these shores has
been considered. Plans already made
can and will be improved upon, with
results that cannot fail to be beneficial
to the cities and to the country gen.
orally.
To redistribute the surplus English
population of English cities. on the
contrary, means its transportation to
distant lands; and this involves not
only expense, but the overcoming of
the prejudice of those who are to be
benefited by the change. However. the
Boer war demonstrated. by its revela-
ton of the deterioration of the English
stock, the necessity for prompt action.
England, now. cannot afford to be de-
TERED by thought of expense; and it
seems very probable that Mr.. Hag-
CARDS report will be followed by a de-
termined effort to plant colonies of
people from the mother country in the
dependencies. Fortunately, both Aus
tralia and Canada have plenty of room
for these. though the fact that these
colonies must, of necessity. be made
up of an undesirable English element
may cause the dependencies to extend
to them a scant welcome.

MISS ANrHoNYs BAD GUESS

We are surprised at Susan B. An
thony. She has intimated very plain
ly that she does not believe that Gro
yer Cleveland wrote the article on
womans clubs which Mr.. Box recently
gave space to and which appears to have
caused some disturbance within the sa-
cred precincts of the clubs in question.
By implication she says that somebody
else wrote. the article, that Mr.. Cleve-
land signed it and pocketed the mag
nificent reward with which Mr. Box
to find favor in his eyes. The evidence
that the article is the work of Mr..
Cleveland is clear and indisputable. The
face of the matter itself is proof that
Miss Anthony permitted herself to be
carried away or else she has lost her
cunning in the appreciation of literary
style.
No other human being ever wrote As
Grover Cleveland writes. That may
be regarded as a blessing or the re-
verse-depending altogether on the
point of view. So high an authority
as the late Charles A. Dana was in
clined to find fault with Mr.. Cleveland's s
diction, but the editor of the Sun him
self was fain to admit that in the
handling of sesquipedalian words Mr..
| Cleveland had him and his young men
all backed off the board of literary
strategy. There was a time when GER
tain gentlemen of the press were in
clined to believe that Daniel S. La
mont was the charmer who brought
into subjection for the use of his chief
those uncouth polysyllabic excrescences
with which the dictionary reeks, but
Dams eminence in the realms of high
finance has long since dissipated that
belief
Susan B. Anthony would take away
the laurels that a fond and admiring
public fastened on the brows of Grover
long since and she inveighs against the
ex-president in a style that indicates a
basis of prejudice. 1t is possible that
Miss Anthony got warm and went off
at tangent-taking a wrong slant on
what Mr.. Cleveland might loosely de-
scribe as an isothermal strabismus. But
we fear that Susan B. is prejudiced
against Grover and would deny him the
paternity of his offspring in the Ladies'
Home Journal because she desires to
discredit the article. We are panied
and grieved that the Miss Anthony
should have taken this course: Pained
that so distinguished a woman should
SO attack such a distinguished man
and grieved because of the necessity
that will presently send us all to the
! dictionary to find out whether the
things that Grover says about Susan
are safe for publication.

DOING A GREAT BUSINESS

1t is useless to borrow trouble on
account of the tremendous tide of i'm
migration that is setting against the
shores of the new world. The United
States has developed an immense ca
pacity for assimilating heterogeneous
peoples and the horde of foreign la
borers now pushing their way through
the gates of the barge office has not
the power to terrify that it might have
had quarter of century since. But
it would be we'll for the authorities TO
take some steps to spread the stream Of
strangers over the country. 1t is not
clear how this may be done 1t has
been suggested that the Italians-who
constitute the main body of the immi-
grants-might be directed to the cotton
fields of the south. The southern
planters make rejoinder that they do
not want them; that the negro is the
ideal laborer in the cotton country. A
considerable number may be sent TO
Panama eventually-but this would not
be to dispose of them effectually. There
are no great works on railroads going
on in the country and the mines will
absorb but a small share of the enor-
nous mass of raw material for the la
Dor mill that is being dumped at New
York.
And the worrying is the portion of
New York. One day last week $4,000
immigrants were landed at Ellis island.
Most Of them were from Italy. though
| the remoter countries of southeastern
Europe were well represented. A very
large proportion of the foreigners had
just enough means to entitle them to
entrance into the country-in fact their
financial condition was such, generally.
as to suggest that they had been
financed with a view to getting their
clearance at the barge office. This
state Of affairs pointed to the proba-
bility that many of the men were con-
tract laborers-and when a number of
them who had been passed, returned
for their baggage within a few hours
and stated they had found employment
under subway contractors the suspi-
cions of the authorities were aroused
and an investigation is under way. The
immigrants, generally. are unable to
pay their way as far into the country
as the outskirts of greater New York
and apparently are indisposed to go
any farther. Hence the danger-if
there be any-is to New York This
would not warrant any anxiety on the
part of the country if we could be as
sured that New York would take care
of the newcomers after it demoralized
them according to its usage. Nothing
can hurt New York. But if immigrants
are to be debarked at New York in lots
of 10000 the rest of the country will
be justified presently in fortifying the
west side of the North river and the
north side of the Harlem against New
York and its adopted citizens.

Contemporary Comment
Trade With Germany

A good many of the business men
or the United States are showing signs
or uneasiness with reference to our fu-
ture trade with Germany, which re-
cent legislation has menaced. Z"
Commercial treaties have been made
with many European countries, but
none with the United States. Unless
something be done our exporters will
be at a great disadvantage in their ef-
forts to secure German trade.-Louis-

SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1905
A NEW SUNDAY CLOSING CUES.
TON

lSh
What is to the unprejudiced observer
distinctly amusing discussion has
arisen concerning the propriety of
keeping the new state capitol building
open on Sunday. This was done as a
matter of course at the beginning. with
the result that crowds of loafers and Of
riotous young persons congregated in
the corridors, and not only made them
selves a nuisance, but did more or less
damage to the marbles and other por-
tions of the building. Those In charge
of the capitol building met this situa-
ton by shutting the doors. There is a
natural and justifable protest by the
public, and the battle RACES.
The arguments given by a Repub-
Hcan contemporary in favor of this
Sunday closing movement are su-
premely ridiculous when contrasted
with the articles appearing in the same
columns in favor of the passage of the
Horton bill. That partisan measure
was jammed through under party pres
sure on the pretense that the capitol
commission and it alone was compe-
tent to take charge of the new building
and preserve it from injury and out
rage. On that ground the state was
Inundated by the transfer of execu-
tive authority to a mere creature of
the legislature; but by this act re-
sponsibility for all that followed was
shifted to the shoulders of the capitol
commission.
Let us see how this body, so exalted
by the Legislature and by every Re-
publican in the state as the sole GUS
todian equal to the care of the new
capitol, has begun to discharge it's
trust We are told by the contem-
pcrary in question that the entire force
at the disposal of the capitol "can do
little" mo one pays any attention to
the building except the few unfortu-
mates who had hoped to see it in peace
and quletness, and who are distracted
and jostled by the romping children
and the silly boys and girls" .The
fact is that the capitol on Sunday aft
ernoons has become a place In which no
self-respecting person can enjoy him
self and one to which no self-respect-
ing girl or woman would care to go a
second time. For all these reasons the
building is to be shut up on Sunday.
and those who desire to visit it for
proper purposes are to BE excluded. IT
is added, as the capstone of this heau-
tlful argument, that it costs SIS a day
to keep the capitol OPEN
Now Why not build a barricade
across all the streets in st. Paul to
shut out those equally regardless of
the law. 1t is a well known fact that
certain vehicles exceed the legal speed
limit on these streets every day. The
law is broken and public safety en-
oangered. 1t is a fact that few days
