Ground and Mne lapestry Brussels new ABOUT THE LITHUANIANS, REASONS GIVEN WHY THEY ARB LEAVING RUSSIA. NUMBER NOW IN THIS COUNTRY An Educated Man of That Nation ality Writes Intelligently on the Subject, Giving Causes for Their Troubles. HE eausos of trouble among tho Lithuan ians in this country it boing the subject of much comment among the moro in'.olligent portion of this class of citizens, A Plymouth paper contains an on tho subject. The interesting articlo writer of it, Mr, Andzuiaitis, finds that the cause most productivo of evil is th? teachings and conduct of tho Lithuanian priests, and as a proof ho adduces many instances. I do not think that tho writer was far wrong in that matter. Indeed it would be difficult to find anywhere else in the world as much ignorance and shabbi ness, as is found in tho ranks of the Lithuanian clergy. No wondor if the Llthuanicns try to oppose and resist tho impertinence of their spiritual ministers, There aro, as I said, other things which act in the same direction on tho minds tho common, uneducated men. Not all Lithuanians in this country immigrated recently. There aro among them men who have lived in tho United States' for at least a'score of yearai Many of theso "Amer icans'' as they.call themselves are bus! ness men; some run grocery stores, others aro saloon koepors; only a sow of thorn do- vote themselves to other occupations. saloon or grocery can bo run without much intelligence and gives to tho business man & superiority amcng the Lithuanian work ingmen, especially among tho "green horns." How is it about tho Lithuanian working people? Tho Lithuanian is a robust man of a well built constitution, laborious and active. If there were better loaders and Instructors of tho masses tho Lithuanian population would rise in a short time to a high standard. If we compare tho Lithu anians with tho Poles and Ruthonians, think we find tho Lithuanians bettor eut fit'.od with tho gifts ot nature. The immigration of Lithuanians is quite proportional witb the Incroaso of tho Rus- sian tyranny in thoir native country. In 188-1 there woro about 25,000 Lithuanians in this country: in 1888 their number had in creased to 100,000, whereas in 1892 there aro over 200,000 in tho United States. Tho Russian government has interdicted tho Lithuanian print. Books and papers im ported from abroad aro confiscated; organ! zations and mooting3 aro interdicted. There are no Lithuanian elementary schools. Tho Lithuanian learn to read and write irom his paront3 and from beggars who aro at tho samo time teachers of tho youth and distributors of nows among the persOcuted Lithuanians. More freely breaino tno .Lithuanians under tho Gor man sway. There they establish socioties, print their prayer books, thoir almanacs. their essays on agrlculturd'and scienco. their papers, otc. Unfortunately there aro only 600,000 of Lithuanians who can mako userof tho moro tolerable German institu tions. Tho first Lithuanian paper in this coun try was published in 1879 In New York; another appeared in 1887, undor tho namo of Union; in 1885 came out the Lithuanian Voice; in 1880 was established tho Concord at Plymouth, Pa.; in 1889 ap peared the very dark Sun, at Mahanoy City, Pa.; In 1891 in Now York City was issued the short-li70d Gazette. Theso newspapers represented and do represent different partios ; tho clergy has its point dappxn In tbo Sun and in tho Concord whor?as tho organ c f tho progressive party of tbo Lltnui nians was for a long time the Voice; tho Concord in tho moantimo changed its colors seven timos; now it was an ultra-Catholic paper, now a liboral, now an atboostic, until at last tho priests sue coodeC in bringing tho publisher of tho paper, Mr. Fatiktztls, of Plymouth, to tho interests of tlio Catholic clergy. In con- sequonco of such unpromising steps the progressive party, which is represented by tho "Lithuanian Society of Scienco and Art," has boon compelled to ostablish an organ of their own, which Is going to ap pear about tho first day of July, W hon ono paper makos any good dovico for the benefit of the perplo tho other donounces it in a most Imprudont manner; if ono editor or somo oducatod man creates a society to carry on commorco, tho oppos ing paperman blackmails not only tho society, but tho initiation of it ; if ono publisher Issues a story book another criticises It in a most objoctionablo way, ard so It goes on. There is no action with out a roaotlon. "Why la it? you may ask. Bocauso tho publishers themsolvos do not care with few exceptions for tho Interests of Lithuanian working classes; bocauso thoy aro thomsolvos men without oducatlon who establish papers for their own honor and business increase.
