AMERICANS DYING OUT.

Viscount D'Avenel has written an ar
ticle for the Revue des Deux Mondes
one of the great papers of the world
in which he thinks he has succeeded in
proving by a long array of statistics
that the Anglo-Saxon race is dying out
in this country and the Nation passing
from its control. From 1910 to 1866
about 43 per cent of the immigrants
were Irish and 35 per cent Germans
Now the Irish and Germans only make
up five per cent eacn of the immigrants
the remaining 80 per cent being a
heterogeneous crowd, with the Italians
about 2S per cent and the remainder
Slavs from Austria, Hungary, Russia
or Poland. These immigrants breed
rapidly, while the original Americans
have exceedingly small families. In
Chicago there are only 900 Ameri-
cans among the 100000 inhabitants
He says, THE sterility of the general
American is something appalling"

AN UNIDENTIFIED HERO.

tain the identity of a young gentleman
of Anderson, Ind, who so far modestl!

fame. 1t seems that he was one o

long before the curtain went up. Mis-!
Hilligoss has also a need of praise fol
being herself early. She came in thrr

also entities her to praise she at once
removed her hat so as not to obstruct
the view of those behind her. If thai
is the fashion in Anderson, Ind. the
women there are much better bred thar
those farther East. Possibly they are
not SO proud of their hats and so eager
to display them to the house. Miss Hill
ligoss took the three large pins which
held her hat to her raven or auburn
tresses, whichever they may be, and
intended to thrust them one after an
other into the upholstery of the seat in
front. She found that they did not en-

she put her whole force to driving them

that in the obscurity she had mistaken

everybody miserable for the day by

some of the other too usual grumblings
on the part of married men. But when
we come to remember that he not only

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS IN OKLA
rHOMA,

saltwater Post stirred up the Okla
homa Legislature very sharply by its
resolutions against the bill to pension
Confederate soldiers This bill on its
face pretends To- give pensions to beth
Confederate and Union soldiers, but it
expressly excludes from its benefits
those who may be pensioned by the
Union Government, SO that in effect it
means to ',ay pension only to Confed-
crates. In the Oklahoma Senate they
threw several kinds of fits over the use
of the word rebels " and the declara-
ton in the resolution that a pension
would encourage rebellion. The reso-
luton was torn up and thrown into the
wastebasket. and the debate expunged
from the records by vote of "a to 8.
In the House of Representatives the
Speaker refused to- have it read, and
referred it to the Committee on Rank
Prejudice" VIM. II. Murray, the Speak
er of the House, wrote an deliberately
sophistical letter. in which he argued
that before the adoption of the consti-
tutionai amendments there was no such
thing as a citizen in the United States,
and consequently no man was guilty of
treason in fighting against the Govern
ment. The Speakers reasoning was so
lame as to imply that it does not re-
quire a high order of ability to get into

it should do as much for the farmers
in this direction as it has done for other

money should not be appropriated from

The more sensible of the British are

few noisy advocates of self-goyernment
for India. A recent meeting of these
advocates in Il congress showed their
absolute inability to govern or to even
agree upon form of Government. They
showed themselves mere noisy takers,
each consumed with a desire to attract
attention. The caste system in India is
held to be fatal to- the development of
any real democracy or any ideas of
lfgovernment. The high caste Hindu
treats those of lower castles as so far
beneath him as not to be considered in
any social arrangement. The very low
est castles are not even regarded as hui
man beings. The Hindu has no love
for his country and absolutely no pa
triotism. He has never heard of such
thing as sacrificing himself for the
public good. Like all Asiatic people, he
is only interested in getting what he,
personally, can get out of life, and his
charity for others does not extend be-
yond his immediate family circles.

Continental Money.

Editor National Tribune: I am a
constant reader of your valuable paper.
and wish to ask a few questions. 1.
Why did the Continental money be-
come worthless? 2. Did the United
States Government ever refuse to re-
deem this money on demands. J.
Batchelder.
The Continental money became abso-
lutely worthless for various reasons,
and the United States never assumed
the payment of any portion of it. In
the first place, it was issued in enor-
nous quantities as the struggling Con-
tinental Government turned from one
shift to another to get the means to
keep it's armies in the field Next, IT
was successfully counterfeited by the
British and others, with the counter
feits being distinguishable by being on
better paper and better printed than
the genuine. Next, the Confederation
was loose-jointed affair, with no GEN.
trail power to maintain credit and coll
lect a revenue to meet obligations. The
Continental currency became worthless.

the present Government was consti-
tuted in 17S7.-Editor National Trib-

The Supreme Court goes on in the

tation of its words and spirit without
regard to public clamor or popular
prejudice 1t declared the employers
liability act to be null and void, in spite
of the wishes of the President, the
other eXtraneous considerations. Now
it has startled everyone by showing
that the Sherman antitrust law. which
was framed in trust-busting spirit
cuts in an unexpected way. 1t has de-
cided that labor unions are conspiracies
in restraint of trade, according to the
terms of that law. The Supreme Court
calmly reviews the proceedings of Con-
gress leading up to the enactment OF
the law, and finds that there were
tons of farmers and others from its
operation, but that these failed, and
therefore when Congress adopted the
law it meant it to apply as much &c
them as it did to the great corporations
against which it seemed to be abso-
lutely directed. The Supreme Court
preserves the spirit of the Constitution
which is distinctly hostile to all class
legislation, and resists every attempt
in this direction no matter from what
source The Chicago Socialists claim

cialists to carry the country at tie next

NO MORE PENSION SCARES.

The Cleveland (O) Leader has an
excellent editorial apropos of the Wild
ows' pension bill, in which it says that
the time has passed when such legisla-
ton provoked much vigorous criticism
few years ago scares over pension
legislation were a favorite weapon in
the hands of the opposition party, but
the Leader says:
"The day when pension OUTLAWS can
disturb the country, provided due dill
gence is exercised in preventing frauds
has passed forever. The utmost recon-
pense, direct and indirect, which can
be made to the soldiers and sailors OF
the Union seems all too meager, too
inadequate, as the greatest of modern
wars drifts farther into the distance
The work they did looms SO vast upon
the pages of history. SO iInmeasurably
valuable not merely to one Nation, but
to the age and the race, that the price
paid in pensions to those who still sur
vive and to the dependents Of those
who have gone from earth is utterly
dwarfed by comparison.
THE country realizes now that the
debt of gratitude to the veterans OF
the great war cannot be paid much
longer. The shortening of the pension
lists goes on at pace ever becoming
swifter. Death is cutting down the pen
sion rolls. They will not trouble the
most penurious many years more. The
net loss in the last fiscal year in the
number of names enrolled was 1S,60e
the greatest decrease in any year since
the pension system was established. The
work of the Pension Bureau diminishes
steadily. Everything looks backward
now in the Pension Office except grad
ual fading from public sight and ma
tional interest. 1t is all pathetic. never
again alarming to the most jealous
guardians of the Treasury"
