Oar Foreign Hern ropnlntlen.
The fact that of the fifty millions pop pep pop
ulatlen in tlie United States nearly seven
millions are foreign born Is one that Is
very portentous te many persons. That
it has only ceme te be viewed with se
fiew alarm within the. memory of tlie
preaent generation is owing in part te
the greater Influx of immigration in the
past forty years, consequent upon the
changing conditions and Increasing dis
content of tlie common people abroad,
and it is measurably due te the fact that
net se many years age nearly all of tlie
Inhabitants of this country were sub
aUtntlally "foreigners," or such near
descendants of them, that the distinct
ions between the foreign born and na
tive population were net se sharply
drawn as new. Although there have
been decennial censuses taken since 1790
we have no direct elllcial Information
respecting the constituents of our popu pepu popu
latien.as regards the place, of birth, prier
te 1850, nor even adequate Information
prier te 1820 concerning the arrival at
American sea ports of foreign born per
sons. The political troubles of ISIS In Ger
many, and the agricultural distress and
resulting famine In Ireland about the
same time, Induced a sudden rise be
tween 1850 and 1S00 In the immigration,
but since then the percentage which the
foreign born bears te the native popula
tion has net imperially varied from 131
percent. These who read with alarm
the statistics of enormous immigration
nowadays are apt te forget that our
total population is well nigh double
what It was at the eutbrenk of the war,
that the development of the country In
the variety of interests and in the settle
ment of Us domain (3 immensely beyond
that of twenty years age and that the
disposition of a larger iullux of foreign fereign
erstlai ever before Is easily made with
out serious disturbance of our social and
political forces.
Ireland aud Germany have furnished
the most considerable part of our foreign
population, and In almost equal propor
tion, though Great Britain and its trans
oceanic dependencies (excluding Ireland)
and Canada combined, have given us
nearly as many as either Hibernia or the
fatherland. This foreign imputation has
been subject te the widest diffusion, and
however Impressive it might be if It pro
ceeded from one stock and w.is grouped
in a single locality, the great variety and
dissimilarity of race which it presents
and its general dispersion through the
states, obviate the threatened danger of
any notable foreign intluence crystalliz
ing here Inte an element hostile te our
Institutions. There are but three states
and ten territories, all remotely West,
In which the foreign born equals 50 per
cent, of the native population ; in thir
teen states and territories It is 2 per
cent., In eleven states It is 10 per cent ;
in ten from 2 te 10 ami in eight less than
2 nor cent, it is remarkable hew the
foreign aud colored population are mutu
ally exclusive, and nltneat iu every sec
tien where the colored are found in large
number the foreign born are net, and I
vicu vcis.i. it is reassuring te inesy who
Btand in such dread of foreign Influences
te observe hew the predominance of the
different nieis varies in different states.
Although the Irish population of Penn
sylvania largely out-number the German
there are nearly as many Irish born resi
dents of Massachusetts as of our own
state ; iu New Yerk, Connecticut, Call
fernla and New Jersey the Irish top the
list ; In Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Texas, Iowa, Missouri and Ohie
the Germans nsseit themselves
quite as emphatically iu the lead ; iu
Minnesota the Scandinavians are tar
ahead of any ether, and a goodly num
her of them are settled in Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin. The number of natives
of British America found in Massachu
setts and Michigan is astonishing, until
explained by the lumber interests and
factory Industries ; two-thirds of all the
juexicnus are in Texas ami 70 per
cent, of the Chinese in California;
two-thirds of the Irish Intheceuutry
are east Pittsburg's meridian, and
two-thirds of the Germans are west
of it. Most of the Itusslans In the ceuu
try are Mennonites and Kansas has the
largest number of them ; Ohie of Swiss ;
Wisconsin the lJehemlaus ; New Yerk
the Poles, Austriaus and French ; and
Michigan the Hollanders. Foreigners
generally display an appetency for city
iife, though the mere numerous races

elements or city population. Fall ltiver)

tilling cities iu the East, and San Fran Fran
ciseo, C.U., extreme geographical points
Bliew the highest rank in foreign born
relatively te the total population, and
next te them come Chicago and Detroit,
central commercial cities en the lakes.
These striking facts ull point te the
funic conclusion that our foreign bem
population la be widely dispersed as te
be easily assimilated. It presents the
Wiueut range of dlveislty in its elements,
nun is uiueu up unu meulded by the
frrmnnlfk of illfT.trn.it ... ...
rv,..u ... .....vikub Miuuiiuiiwcaiuis as
much unlike each ether as the bulk of
our foreign Immigration Is dissimilar te
the native. There is no greater por per por
ceutngo of Influx, se long as it comes
from the civilized races, than Is healthy
te the body politic, and nowhere
te-day are the foreign elements of our
population uniting and massing against
the native. In fact It Is easier te array
the ene of these elements against the
ether even new than te incite them te
an uutl-Ainerlcan attack upon the
institutions of their udnpted country or
te areuse the spirit of Ivnow-Nethlnglsm
te shut, the gates upon the immigrant,
It Is astonishing that Justice Uradley
of Uie United States supreme court
Bheuld refuse paytnent of n check drawn
by him, simply because the payee raised
It from five te live hundred dollars. Tlie

It scorns that the lawyers of I,ii.erne
county wanted the commissioners te
print jury lists for their use, and be be bo
cause the county officials refused te ap ap
prcprtate the public funds for this
purpose, "Judge Woodward, at the
request of a majority of the bar, ordered
District Attorney McGeehan te draw up
a bill of Indictment ngalust the county
commissioners for neglecting te carry
out certain Instructions of the court In
rega-d te improvements te be made In
the court house. Several lawyers made
violent speeches denouncing the com
mlssieners." Judge Woodward sh mid
go slew. We would net suspect him of
making unreasonable requests for court
house Improvements but the practice of
judges spreading themselves ever tee
much ground, and especially their ten
dency te Instruct county commissioners
In their duties or usurp their prerogatives
Is a dangerous one. The c)tnin's4leurs
are elected by and respousible te the pee
pleand in their own sphere should m 'e
subject te judicial dlctatleu. We u v
recently had the local experience of
commissioners paying exirbitaut bills
upon the order of the court which the
county auditors found te be outr.igeom eutr.igeom outr.igeem
ly high, if indeed they were net wholly
Illegal ; aud the commissioners were
accordingly surcharged Wlim the on en
suing suit of the county comes te bj tried
if that should ever happen of course
the judges of the Lane liter county court
would net bj qiuliUel te sit, as the b.ll
wasp ild upon their recommenda'.ieus
They will have te " call upju a judge
frjiu .mother district;" ml we don't
want any in ire of th.s th in is .ibnlutely
necessary. Judge WoeJw.ird hil better
go slew.
The Columbia Spy is one of the jour
mils that cannot understand why the
county commissioners should levy tax
of $100,000 mere than the uecessaty
expenses of the county in January, and
collect it off the people iu the summer in
order te pay off the ceuuty debt due en
the tlrstef April in the succeeding ear.
Hut as the Spy, suggests, the county
elllclals have eminent examples iu the
state and federal financiers, wheaccum
ulate treasury surpluses for the accom
modation of these who haLdle them.
They must have flue, tunes at the con
gressional funeral. The committees en
this service usually get iu a bill eC from
Jl.500 te J2.300 ; aud the appropriation
for Apelllnaris water averages only about
S3S.
Te furuUh a voter with a ticket at the
polls representing that it bears names net
en it is a misdemeanor, under the act of
1833, puniahnble with MOO fine or a year's
imprisonment, or both, lu the discretion of
the court. The illiterate voter must hare
a cbauce.
Tins profound sentiment from the mys
torieu author of the "Breadwinners" is
generally accounted a bull, alike by news
pipets and jeung girls : "A young girl's
name caunet be nientieued tee seldom iu
the newspapers. Iu fact, twice In a lifetime
Ib often enough, and cue of then should be
a fuuiril uutice."

Becii Is a geed enough thing in its way,
but the presbytery of Jersey City disap

Jaceii Stalky, of Huutiugduii, au

oeurt, who afterwards appeiuted a guar

te the $15,000 inheritance of Statey from
hislatHor'sestato. Hut new Staley turns
up aud threatens te preve that he is net

1 ii r. scarcity of trained nurses is ene of
the most annoying wants experienced by
physicians. The state medical seaiety
last year recommended attention by the
local faculties te this important subject.
Tlie Montgomery medical society has in.
stitutcd a ceurse of lectures for the buueilt
of such as desire te bocemo trained
nurses, and will Usno certllleates of pre
Holeuey as nurses te such as attend tlie
course mid pass a satisfactory examina

win no wmi te give uceu te the (,ame sub

matters which get mere attention.

the piupnetress about the case. During
the conversation a man stepped up and
said he had seen Katie and a man named
Wilhelm Monken tegether in the house,
and Menkeu asked, "Are Norten's people

officials teijk this ciue and visited the
Norten's place, where they learned
that Menken had been an lnmate

Last year the people of this county were
compelled te piy a tax of three mills ou
rial estate ii.ilust the pretests of uewspi
pers and people. The result has been that
tl.ere is new a surplus of nearly 3100.COO
eh hand, which the commissioners, very
properly of course, are going te apply te
the teductieu of the comity debt. But it
isn't necessary te pay oil' thn ceuuty debt
at this rate. It is net necessary te burden
this generation with tlie paymeut
of ceuuty, state aud national debts.
Oed knetts, we have bortie cueugh
burdens. We have had pairca
and war and all its horrors, we have
a hundred thousand cripples and millions
of strtiircliug per. Theu why pay etr
public debts at this rapid rate. Lut these
burdeus be for another generation, which
will net euly be stronger but will be better
able te lear a part of them. The county,
state and national bends are all fetiudtd
at a low rate of mterest for long pcriede,
aud there let them test till a mere con
venient period.
The CJinuussieuers have laid a 2 per
cent, tax this year. If it shall appear at
the end of the ye tr that cuirent expenses
can be pud ou u revenue from a two pur
cent, tax, thou let us have it. This gen
eration wants no mero burdens te bear.and
the bjud holders don't waut their mouey.
We rather incline te the suggestion of the
Istuli iur.NclCH that the commissioners
should reconsider their action aud take
off another half mill.
