Our Anglo-saxon Blood.

Recently two French editors who
have been studying us have had views
TO express OF things American. These
observers speak Of what they saw
here, and they apparently looked on
| only to admire. Another French stu
dent OF American life believes he can
tell US what we are and exploits his
opinions In the Review of the World,
u leading literary organ issued at
Paris. In this article the writer, one
Viscount dAyenel, attempts to prove
by long array OF statistics that the
Americans of the present day are Brit
ish and Anglo-Saxon merely In their
language The point is made that the
population of our large towns consists
in the main Of European continental
elements. Chicago is cited as an ex-
ample of an American city where for
eigners heavily outnumber the natives
TO quote:
The descendants OF the 10000. 900 Anglo
Saxons by whom the United States was
populated III 1851 form no more IMAM an
Insignificant minority in the bosom OF the
present gigantic republic. They will end
by occupying no more permanent place
than the aborigines whom they so obsti-
nately repressed and who are now dying
on on their western reserves. While these
latter are perishing In misery their con-
querors are threatened with extinction
through their very prosperity.
All this would be sad If true Our
large cities do attract foreigners. SO
does Paris, and the same can be said
OF London. But our country is com
paratlyely new. and foreigners orig
inally found great profit here for the |
skilled handicrafts Their descendants |
are here, and they monopoliZe some |
trades and special lines OF commerce.
Naturally there Is heavy foreign ele-
ment In every American center which
offers old world talent chance to
make quick gains. On the other hand,
IN Engllshman, baslng his argument
upon the prevalence of Anglo-Saxon
names among the leaders in all depart
nents of American life, declared not
ong ago that the dominating influence
iere is welded by men of British an
'estry, and Anglo-Saxon family names
10 not represent the totality of Anglo
saxon blood coursing In American
'eins. The early immigrants married
mong the natives to a greater extent
han the immigrants OF today, and
here is much good British blood here
masked under name imported from
ontlnental Europe. The last census
howej less than 100000 souls In I
his country born on the continent and I
ass than 100000 born to parents 2
,ho were not natives OF this country
or OF any of the British countries 6
he contention OF Vlscount d'Avenel [
J that the last Of the Americans Will y
ONE as surely as THE Last OF the
lohlcans." But there appear to be
bout 60,0oo,000 people here now OF
ngloSaSon blood, pure for the most
art, and some millions more as thor.
ughly American in every fiber as the 5
rlglnal American stock.

Word comes from Montana of
the finding of the FOSSIL remains
of tyraunosaurusrex by paleon-

be heterogeneous with the mega
losaurus. 1t is said to belong
to species of very rare dinos-
raurian which inhabited the earth
not later than 30 million years
ago. The head of the monster
weighs 1000 pounds. The tail,
which runs back an unknown dis
lance under a mountain, has not

 Tn spite of drouths and mean rocky soil, this has not been a bad year for the Connecticut farmer. We are happy to see that in the govern ment reports his corn crop issperfect: that oats stand at 93 per cent out of 100. and buckwheat s9 per. cent. So on down the list of agricultural pro- ducts, we find that Connecticut does not show single crop to be under s5 per cent. with the exception of po- tatoes. which drop to 6a per cent for some reason or other Hats off to the Connecticut farmer.-New Ha- ven Jnien.

It is now almost year since the panic occurred, says Banker Clews Since then the collapse Which began here. owing to the .breakdown of credit, has extended throughout the world, as result of the universal exhaustion of capital Recovery has made splendid headway, vastly more than could have been expected, but is not yet complete. Liquidation did it's benefcent work in eliminating weak spots and lsavingzthe hnan- cial situation rhtikhs stsSnger and sounder than before. s6 we may con fidently look forward to increasing activity in nearly all lines of busi- ness, the chief obstacle to full re- sumption being the continued high cost of production. Neither commov dities nor wages have yet undergone that readjustment which has fol- lowed all previous panics; ,combina- tions of various kinds or actual scar city tending to delay reaction in this respect It is plain that prices were abnormally high in 1907 and 1t is still problem for time to settle as to whether they will decline to more normal figures or continue on the high level for an indefinite period. The technical situation of the stock market is fairly favorable. It is mo- tceable that there Is little selling on either long or short account. and that on all pronounced declines there is good buying. The market is high rather than low, yet has a good un- dertone of confidence and seems more responsive to good news than to bad. Holders of securities seem pretty well satisfied that the worst has been seen and that affairs are more likely to improve than to re- trograde. Under such conditions any serious break Is impossible. Europe is particularly anxious to See the United States adopt sound cur rency system. and this is. unfortu, nately consideration that inn presses itself but slightly upon any of our political parties just now. The immediate outlook for the market is uncertain; and for the next few weeks it's movements will be largely governed by political developments. For the present it is simply trad ing market for moderate profits.

Much is said about the disappear ance of the cheap breakfast table though We could never see why the breakfast table was uniquely expcn- sive as compared with the dinner or supper table but there Is pecu- liarity of the American table Of the well to do, in that butter appears there three times day. It Is a fact we'll known that American but ter of the choicest brand is sold in Europe at from to 10 cents a pound less than it can be bought for in the country of its origin. The reason is that there 1t competes with the butter of Denmark, Holland, England, Switzerland, France and the islands of Attorney and Jersey The butter of the United States Is protected in the markets of a nation of S5,000,000 of inhabitants where the tariff has routed competition. This winter butter will reach 50 cents pound. There is butter trust octopus which limits the home supply, demands whatever price it chooses and sends it's surplus to Eu- rope for any price it will bring. In country of more abundant plenty than any other. Cheap food is thing of the past. Everything in the dining room is highly taxed ex- cept coffee, tea and pepper. These are the only articles by the way up. on which the Briton pays taxes. His butter, meat, bread, linen, table, chairs, fruits and vegetables are free and he gets them at lower price than. they can be bought elsewhere in the world. One of these days the poitsical issue will be cheap food and 1t will sweep the country like an epidemic. Cold storage sheep and beef from Argentine and frozen rabbits from Australia will be brought in free with butter from Denmark and Ireland to reduce the outrageous prices that the trusts have imposed on the very means of life.
