4 THE EVENING STAR. ~~ WASHINGTON: THE EVENING “TAR bas the fellest Lecul Ciresiation ef any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more thas all the other papers published in Washington. EEO When the republic was forming, and after- ward when it was developing into stardy man- hood, it was important, not to say necessary, that there should be the greatest stimulant af- forded to the influx of people from abroad. | ‘The United States needed population. The | population acquired at that time was mainly of the old stock of “kin beyond sea.” The Eng- lish, Welch, Scotch and Irish came and with them the Dutch and Scandinavian cousins and the Huguenot neighbors. This large increment was wholesome, and the elements composing it measurably homogeneous. Time healed any little differences of race or religion. All the conditions of immigration, in the light of sta- tistics and of published facts other than statis- tical, appear to be undergoing change. Dr. Hamilton's report, commented upon by Tar Sram, presented some facts and suggestions worthy of national consideration. A crop of newspaper and magazine articles speedily fol- lowed. In the January North American Keview Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge writes a thoughtful paper on “The Restriction of Immigration,” in which he draws upon the consular and other official reports of the government for support of his position. Mr. Lodge finds that the immi- gration from 1874 to 1889, inclusive, has amounted to 6,418,693 persons, and that the average annual immigration has been 401,164. In these sixteen years there has been & decrease of 194 per cent of im- migration from France, but every other | country of Europe shows an increase. Norway | has the lowest rate, o 9.5, while Hux makes the highest with 4 The ‘nati contributed chiely to the upbuilding of the original thirteen states of the Union and which have heretofore supplied the bulk of our re- eruits are thrown into the background daring | the last ten years, and while the mass of the| immigrants still come from the United Kingdom | of Great Britain and Lreland and the empire of | Germany. the figures show a steady gain by | the Slavic countries, Hungary and Bohemi: Not to speak of the ultra socialist, anarchistic | and vagabond elements thus derived, itis well to note that all the sources of supply that show asteady incre: are unskilled elementsinferior in the essentials of citizenship to the elements heretofore incorporated. The typical man of the new im! ration is the Slovack, who soaks himself in whisky, works cheap and crowds out better laborers. In many parts of the country, as Mr. Lodge shows, the struggle for existence in large cities has become as flerce as in the old | world. The overstocking of the labor market means a tendency toward decline of wages which implies peril socially and politically. In country where every man has a vote and| where government is for and by the people it | is essential that the rate of wages and the aver- age of intelligence should be high. Hence the necessity for additional legislation by Congress imposing safeguards on immigration that were not dreamed of or indeed not necessary in the days of the fathers of the republi en the nation was famishing for population. It was all bonesand no flesh. It could digest anything. Now its hunger ix largely satisfied. Its appe- tite is more fastidious, and the more objection able food thrust upon it, undigested and unas- similated, threatens blood poisoning. ae ‘The discussion now going on between actors, whether as contended for by Coquelin the fecl- iug should only be simulated or as insisted upon by Irving and Salvini it should be a gen- uine expression of the emotions portrayed, is none the less interesting because it is not novel. ‘The contest opened in the magazines between Constant Coquelin, the eminent French artist, and Henry Irving, the distinguished Euglish actor. After it had proceeded some time the great tragedian of Italy, Tommaso Salvini, was moved to enter the lists on the side on which the intelligent reader would expect to find him— With those who hold that the artist on the stage sbould really feel as the artist in the studio feels at the moment of creation. Coquelin had maintained that the actor should remain per- fectly calm and collected. however stormy the | passions portrayed, acting with his brain and | not his heart. ‘To this theory of acting Salvini | in an article in the December Century opposes | another to this effect: That the actor who does | not feel the emotion he portrays is but a skill- ful mechanician, setting certain wheels and | springs in motion. The bystander ix tempted | to exclaiza: “How marvelous! Were it only alive it would make me laugh or weep.” He who feels, on the contrary. and can communi- | cate this feeling to the audience hears the ery: | “That is life! That is reality!” and the sound of sobbing or laughter. But the Italian agrees with the Frenchman in sying that the actor, up toa certain point, must have the gift of im- passivity. He must guide and check his feel- ing. It is imteresting to have Salvini’s own | words as to his mode of interpretation. “ simply try,” he says, “to be the character I am playing: to think with his brain, to feel with his feelings, to cry with him end to laugh with him; to let my breast be anguished by his emo- tions, to love with his love and to hate with his hate.” This is finely expressed and correctly represents the school of tragedians of wh'ch Salvini is one of the greatest living adherents | andexamples. It is thus that all the mighty spirits of the stage must have felt as they ected. It was thus that Garrick and Edmund Kean and Macready, that Siddons and Rachel and Ristori interpreted to the audience the meaning of the tragi-comedy of humanity. There is no simulation of feeling that is not itwelf founded on genuine fecling—at least, there is none that is high acting in the best sense of the word. —_ore—____ The loss of a gallant officer of the army, Capt. George D. Wallace, and of a considerable umber of the soldiers, and the unrest caused by the fight in which these deaths occurred, may ereate further trouble in and around the Bad Lands. The Indians had pretended to surrender, and at the moment were being disarmed by the seventh cavalry. This regiment, or a part of it, was cut to pieces at Rose Bud with Custer. ‘The present affair is not likely to increase its regard for the Sioux. But retaliation which ‘takes the shape of indiscrimin ¢ slaughter of | everything with a red skin, without regard to age oF sex, is the revenge of the Indian and not of the white man. The correspondent who sends the details of the vecurrence seems to be doing his best to moderate the natural heat of American indignation over the death of white men through Indian treachery. He states that 120 partly disgrmed Indians insanely attacked £00 cavalry, that the battery then fired upon Indian men, women and children, that the soldiers are shooting down the Indians where- ever found, showing themselves “heroes in deods of daring,” and that it is doubtful if by ‘either a buck or a squaw ont of all Big ‘Foot's band will be left to tell the tale.” ——_--+—___ American economy, history and geology are in session where they ought to be, at the fed- eral capital, This is the natural assembly Place of American societies of learned men and women. — 6 ja | sav Tue Lasr Turses Bayon NEW YEAR'S, aT PPP FRE RRR > Eot fe Bot Batt Ee” r ERY 5.
