If ll lm true Hint tlie clinnge of heart announced in tlie New Yerk Independ ent la due te tlie Interposition of its owner, ngulnst tlie Judgment nnd wishes of its editor, tlie moral effect of its Abandon ment of Cleveland's cause will be very Blight. When it appeared that the Kev. Dra. Ward and Twining bad decided that they were mistaken in their Judgment of tlie ense nnd felt compelled te withdraw their support, it was nt least manifest that thcae two gentlemen, who had shown ouch geed judgment la giving Cleveland their sup port, had mero lately betrayed nn Infirmity of purpose nnd lack of wisdom with which hitherto they had net been credited. Uut if it is true, as new stated by eminent nnd well informed nutheiltles, that Mr. 13ewcu, tlie opulent owner and thrifty publisher of the paper, Is tlie man who sees it in nuether light, the change of mind Is net se hard te ex plain. It Is true that nearly a generation nge Mr. Bewen made boihe reputation by declaring that while he sold dry goods his principles were net for sale. But even then the cause of his paper was made mero profltable by ttie departure With in a mere recent jierled, upon two no table occasions In the matter of the Northern Pacific railroad and the attacks en the New Yerk Mutual Life Insurance company, it was well settled that the business interests of the publication dominated its editorial page and inspired its utterances. Mr. Bewen and his paper have get eld nnd rich and ceiucrvative. We can easily imagine a large class of its readers ordering it te be "stepped" when it turned in for CleveUnd. That it feaied te lese patrouage Is quite likely, In view of the things It has of late done te gain It. Besides Bewen hates Beecher, and the fact that his bclc nei'r is satisfied with Cleveland would be almost enough te keep Bewen off from him. In any event the Indepmdcnt makes a rattier humiliating exhibition in trying te ex ex tricate itself ; and talks very much like a paper in the state of divided opiuieu which is said te exist between the brains and tlio-purje behind it. They Una ildtfr Take Cure. With suspicious real a number of bit tjrly partisan Republican newspapers of this state insist upon the right of a man who happens te be in the fedentl service in Washington te register nnd vote pretty much where he cheeses, regard less of the obliteration of everything that gees te make residence. We Leed net repeat the reasons why this ia net true. While it is the fact that n man does net leso a residence by leaving his home te go te Washington for temporary residence during his employment there, it is equally true that if he aban dens or obliterates his home nnd rosiuenee In rennsylvanla nud cuts .wut-w ... muujiimim ..Mil una dissolves every tie that binds or him te It, he forgoes every right of resi dence and te vote. His mere volition Is net enough te create a residence; theie must be net only im original residence . but a continuing purpose te retain it nnu te return te it. Without this it is lest. The Republican papeis which teach it centrnry doctrine de se lu face of the law nnd common sense ter the protection of n vngrant nnd l.-re spensible let of officeholder who want the privilege of registering and voting where they please aud ni often as they please, In a half dozen counties, and in an October and November state. The present plau Is te colonize the doubtful states from Washington. If the law was correct as laid down by the IVcss and Harrisbtirg 'Iekyraph, this might be dene ; but as the constitution aud the statute provide otherwise the residents of Washington who undertake te vote In Pennsylvania will get themselves into the box from which David Meuat has Just emerged In time tc get au elllce. Our Foreign PopulaUeii. A writer in the September Century Mr. Jeseph Edgar Clinmbsrlln, contri butes a very Interesting paper en the foreign elemuuts that go te make up the compesito population of the United States. The Held which a study of this kind opens te a speculative inir.d Is boundless, and the deductions passible from the facts given may Le rqually un limited. The statistics show tlmtfiem J820, the year when alien arrivals wcie first numbered, te 1SS0, lO.ltfs.VeS immi grants landed in. the United States. It is interesting and Instructive te fellow the distribution of this ttemendeus crowd of foreigners ever thoceuntr and te nete their influence en the sections iu which they have settled. It is seen that Nevada leads in the number of foreign born, the p?rceutage beingallttle mere than 11 per cent, ul the population ; while North Carolina isatthotailef tha list with onlveno fourth of eue per cent, net natives or t'.e soil. Considering the nationalities of the immigrants, Germany is in the van with 1,900,712, or fl.O percent of the total population. The Irish fellow closely with 1.8JI.C71, or .'1.7 par cent, of the population of tlie country. Then come In succession tlie immigrants from Great Britain, British America, Scandl nnvln, Trance nnd China. Thelr ag ag grejate strength scarcely equals the pjr contage of either of the first named ele ments. Investigation of tbe subject therefore practically centres en the study of the influence et the German nnd Irish races In our national development ; und the flrst facta nqticeuble are that the Ger. mans ate maased In the Interior nnd ngrl. cultural regions, while the Irish show a disposition te stny near the seaboard nnd In manufacturing communities, Wis consin, Minnesota and Illinois nre great agricultural Btates and they ure great centres of German population. Rhede Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Yerk nre leading manufacturing districts, und In them the bulk of the Irish population is anchored. Then the superior fecundity of tliese two great rnofeovii itie intivu Aincrl. can Heck iulieduccs u new phase of the subject. Already In certain states the foreign stock and their descendants out number the native born. Startling ns this fact is, It need give no cause for alarm. The fusing process uniting Teu. ten and Celt, Latin nnd Nerman, has been at work with consummate perfec tion through the years since the first lm migrant landed en our shores ; nnd it will se continue unless checked by foolish pelltlcnl brawlers, until ns a homogeneous peeple we become the crowning stock for nil future generations. Te the Sun. The New Yerk Sim: " Let Gro Gre ver Cleveland withdraw and let Allen u. Thurmnn be nominated In his place." The tlme te nomlnate Allen G. Thur mnn has geno by. That tlme was nt the Chicago convention. The opportunity was fully befere the convention. It did net embrace It, we belleve, because that cursing lunatic and rowdy, Mc Lean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, said it should net be ; and the convention was afraid. Tlie nomination of Thur m.in would have been a strong eue, and Cleveland en the ticket as vice president, would have given It the strength which he gives; it ns president ; a strength which Is sufficient for his election. We have te say te the Sun that if it had wobbled less befere the nomination and had discovered and tied te Allen G Thurmnn then, Instead of new, It would at least have dene Its part in leading Democratic sentiment in the way in which It thought It should go ; nnd Its skirts would have been clear if anything went wreug. It is tee late for it new te claim absolution. The path of duty leads en te u valiant effort for the cause and the candidate, as the die has been cast. DvTi.nn as attorney for grasping cor porations and Butler as the werkiug mau'a friend are hard te rcoencllo. If all the editors of the country could be tuitcd In the naming of presidential candidates, what a political Utopia the United States would he ! It may ba a eonselatorj reilectieu for theso sweltering iu the present trepin heat visitation te remember that iu 1705 tbe heat in France was se iuteuse that iueal could be cooked by niorely exposing it te the snu.
