THAT AILCH COW AGAIN.

Some recent remarks In these columns con-
cerning the drain Of wealth from this country
into Europe through immigrants remittances
and the returning Of immigrants to their old
homes have since been strikingly corroborated
by of the highest authorities. At the last
meeting Of the Austro- Hungarian Colonial So
ciety the president of that organization spoke
with circumstance and statistical detail upon
the matter declaring it to be something which
the statesmen and political economists of that
empire would do well TO take more fully into
account, since the pecuniary results of emf
grafton to America were far more important
to the national balance sheet than all the ex-
port trade TO this country. Our monarchy"
he said. learns from its emigrants eighteen
"times as much from its export trade to
North America"
In substantiation Of this surprising statement
DR.. Weisl adduced these figures: In 1903 the gross
value (not net prof1ts) OF ustro-Hungarian ex-
ports to America was 100000 crowns, or So
100000. OF that sum not more than 20 per cent.
100000 crowns. or S1,SG0OOO can be reckoned
clear profit. In the same year the remittances
home OF Austrians and Hungarians settled in
America amounted to no less than 165OOO 900
crowns, or $33OOOOO0 all of which is clear
profit. Nor did it destroy the force OF this
statement to observe that exports to America
were small In comparison with those to other
countries Ine uotal exports 10 all lands were
2,2O0,0O0,0O0 crowns, or 900, Of which
44OoOOOO0 crowns. $SsOOOOOO might be
reckoned net profit Thus the receipts from
emigrants were 10 per cent Of the gross export
trade or 37-5 Of the net profits Of that trade
In addition 1t was TO be remembered he said.
that large part Of the exports to America was
to supply the demands of emigrants.
There can be no doubt that DR.. Weisl spoke
with the authority of ample knowledge Blu,
even he did not state the whole case for he
did not mention those emigrants who after
living In America few years, return home
with all their savings for ths rsSt Of their

ST John n B. Jan. 7.-Dr. George R. Parkin.
organizing representative of the Rhodes Scholar
ship Trust is in the city on business connected
with the Rhodes scholarships TO be awarded In
the present year DR. Parkin arrived here on
Saturday on the Empress of Britain. and went
TO Calais Me- where he sent out over three hun
dred sets of examination papers to points In the
United states These examinations will be held
on January II and Is.
DR. Parkin is endeavoring to arrange a new
scholarship for the province of Saskatchewan
In this move he is backed up by the other trus-
tees In a few years there will he twenty-seven
Canadians at Oxford under the Rhodes scholar
ships AT present there are twenty-four from
Canada. eighteen from Australia, seventeen from
South Africa three from Bermuda. Jamaica and
Newfoundland seventy-nne from the United
States and eleven from Germany.
Speaking of the reports that the United States
students were not making much progress as
the colonial men. DR.. Parkin said that their pre-
vious education was more at variance with the
oxford system than the colonial system. Amer
leans had told him that In many cases the
ablest men had not been sent to the old coun-
try as the benefits TO be derived from Oxford
education were not vet fully appreciated espe-
cially in the Western States. The students who
have made the best records so far from Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Canada.
DR. Parkin is preparing register in which
the records of all the Rhodes scholars will be
kept. The men will be asked to supply infor-
nation about their work before entering Oxford
and from that time until their death a COM
plete record of each mans career will be kept
so that the benefits of these scholarships may be
ascertaned
Another scheme foot is~to have the Rhodes
scholars establish fellowships for graduates

the successful men year of study and travel
in the best educational centres. DIR. Parkin has
talked this matter with the students. and
says they have enthusiastically taken up the

1 RECORD OF .PLAIN CITIZENS.u

The statement was recently made by The
London Daily Chronicle that "plain Mr. James
Bryce" would come TO America without ac-
ceptfng a peerage or any title. and would thus
be 'the first plain citizen 10 represent this coun
try in Washington" We assume that the first
part Of the statement is correct and that the
new British Ambassador will retain the name
and style by which he has so long and SO well
been known. AS for the second part, it Is OF
no particular Importance to this country save
on the ground OF historical accuracy. To
Americans plain citizen" is as good as a lord
and lord Is as good as "plaln citizen" other
matters than their styles OF address being equal
But on the ground OF historical accuracy we
must take exception to our contemporaries state
ment.
Unless the record is grossly deceptive In way
beyond all explanation. Mr.. Bryce will not ba
by any means the first plain citizen" or un-
titled commoner TO represent Great Britain at
Washington. but will be only the latest of a
long line Of such representatives. Our impress
sion is that the majority of British representa-
tves at Washington. not counting charges daft
faires, have been what THE Chronicle calls
plain citizens. Mr.. Bryce will, we believe be
the twenty-second British Envoy at Washington
or his twenty-one predecessors no fewer than
thirteen appear to have been "plain citizens"
including without exception the first eleven on
the roll. George Hammond lived and died n
commone:. Sir Robert Liston was not knighted
until after his American service Anthony
Merry was 'plain citizen" David NJ Erskine
became Lord Erskine. but was untitled when he
was appointed minister at Washington. Fran
els James Jackson. son of preacher was 'plaln
Mr.. Jackson" The unhappy Sir A. J. Foster
was not knighted until his return home Charles
Bagot was a commOner. Stratford Canning had
received no title when he came hither Neither
had Charles Richard Vaughn. son of n phy-
slclan, though he was afterward knighted
Queen Victortas first envoy, the courteous and
efficient Henry S. Fox, who spent all the re-
mainder Of his life here, was always a COM
moner. Sir Richard Pakenham did not receive
the "Sir" until his departure from Washington
Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer was the first titled
envoy to come to America. His successor the
maladroit John F. T. Crampton. was NOT
knighted until his return home. And finally
Lord Sackvtlle came hither as plain Mr.. Lionel
Sackvlle-West
AS we have said. these things do not partic-
uiarly matter, save on the ground of accuracy
But 1t was enough to make the 1udicious grieve
to see leading English paper committing so
strange mistake in English history.

NEW JERSEY INTERESTS.

Interest In the session OF the New Jersey
legislature which opens to-day, the part
of both the people and the politicians. is doubt
less centred chiefly upon the contest for the
United States Senatorship. There should be no
question of the ability Of the Republicans to
refill Mr.. Dryden's seat, either by re-electing
him or by electing some other Republican as
his successor, since they have clear major
ity on Joint ballot, which Will probably remain
undisputed. The uncertainty to whom they

ton was called Immediately after the Novem-
Der election, still prevails Mr. Dryden remains

There are in fact, other issues before the
Legislature which concern the domestic well

Postmaster General Cortelyou's retirement as
chairman of the Republican National Committee
can be invested with no particular political sig

head the national committee IN 1904 was an

the older school. who thought he lacked the
mysterious virtue which comes from long COM

The idea that political cement Is hidden
art quite divorced from the intelligent prac-
tice of other arts. died hard. but Mr.. Cortelyous
service IN 1904 helped materially to give 1t its
deathblow. He forsook both the practice or
mystifcation so long in vogue at headquarters
and the foolish brass band methods of appeal
heart. He conducted national canvass on SEN
sible. businesske lines. without exalting the
spellbinder or paying much attention to betting
odds. He knew that the Roosevelt administra-
ton had made out a case and that 10 win IT
was only necessary to get that case before the
people. The Republican campaign Of three
years ago was energetic. yet clean. dignifed and
free from noise and vituperation. It set a whole

for helping 10 populartze the sort Of political
campaigning which appeals to the reason and
not TO the ear drum.
