Copies of the doubleshect STAR containing it may be had at the counter wrapped ready far address for TWO CENTS, or stamped for mailing at THRE CENTS, cach. a Consul-General Waller's first report to the State department from his post in London might be read with profit by every one. It is a brief survey of the Industrial condition of F land; and the faets adduced are of a nature to pat Americans to thinking, and to fill them with gratitude for the degree of comfort and happiness they enjoy. Mr. Waller shows that while the total wealth of the United Kingdom, if divided equally among the inhabitants, would allow $1,245 to every man, woman and ehild, or quite a moderate fortune to euch fam- ity of much size, still, “the pecuniary condition of a large part of the population is exceedingly distressing.” He says there are more than one million persons formally registered as paupers, and outside of these open objects of charit among the laboring masses “the poverty is u doubtedly greater than has ever been experi- enced in the United States.” This is not ignorant guesswork, nor is it bun- combe, but a plain statement of facts. Nor is the situation peculiar to Great Britain. It is the same in powerful Germany, in thrifty France, in sunny Italy. Everywhere on the continent of Europe the American traveler meets the same cry of hard times, and every- where he goes he may see, if he carries his eyes With him, the evidences of the grinding pov- erty of the masses. We have nothing like it in this country, unless It be in certain manuia turing and mining centers, and even there the Ditterest poverty is generally among a foreign population. It is @ legitimate oceasion of thankfulness and satisfaction at this holiday season to tee! that, in spite of certain dangerous and hateful inelinations of the times, this is still the coun- try of the poor man and will be the country of his children. Nowhere do the masses of the people enjoy such comfort and privileges and dignities as here. It would be impossible to touch, even in the Most summary way,on the causes of this uni- ‘versal distress in Great Britain and her contl- nental neighbors; but one of the principal muses may be noticed. Consul Waller writes ‘that the current governmental expenditures of the United Kingdom for the last current year ‘Were $596,139,995, or more than twice as much as ours, with a smailer citizen population. And how did this vast sum go? He names the items in order of size. The largest is to pay Interest on the national debt; and that debt represents ‘war piled upon war, generation after genera- ton. And the next largest item is “for the maintenance of the army,” for more war, more death, and hate and ruin. Then follows tle item to provide for the civil administration of the Empire, and next the appropriation for the Bavy,—more money for armed strife and the adjudication of disputes by homicide. And the people have to pay for all this; and it 4s that more than anything else that keeps ‘them strangers to the taste of meat. We, as Americans, have reason to thank God that not only are we favorably situated, but, what is of ‘more consequence, that in our hearts we prefer Peace. We could easily enough find quarrels it we wanted to. A quarrelsome manis always accommodated. ————— + ‘The appointment of Prof. Hadley as the chiet ‘ofthe labor burean of Connecticut gave great Gissatisfaction in certaim quarters, as it was elaimed that he knew nothing practically of the questions he was to deal with,and that he ‘would regard these questions from a standpoint not insympathy with actual laborers. Prof. ‘Hadley’s first report, published this morning, will go far towards disproving these charges. It shows thorough Knowledge and it discusses THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.

LEATHER BAG, TO of contract labor, but of immigration generally. As Prof. Hadley says, the laborer is threat- ened by the competition of the French Canadian and the Italian quiteas much as by the Chi- nese. We must not shut our eyes to the fact that our present immigration laws are bringing to our shoresand into competition with laborers already here, swarms of strangers whoare eagor to work for a pittance, too small to permit them to live in decency, to educate their families or to assimilate themselves to American ways of thinking. What is to be done? Prof. Hadley ‘Sdmits the seriousness of the problem, but docs Rot furnish @ guessas to a solution, eo The connection between bad drainage and typhoid fever is so clearly established that ‘Where the dreaded disease makes its appear. Ance, health officers at once investigate the stricken region to ascertain the condition of the cemspools, drains and closets. Thus, in Brook- lyn recently, the death rate from typhoid fevers ran upto twice the normal, and now it sanitary laws are ignored.
