4 THE EVEN NG. STAR. |SaxsAsvComeanvs ConomsOrNews. | Aczxowzzpezp WASHINGTON: May 29, 1801. Editor. EENSHY 5. SOVES THE EVENING STAR has the fllest Local Cipculation of any Newspaper im the World, and as an Advertising Medium is wort! more than all the ether papers published in Washington. It seems that the burden of immigration rest- ing on us is a burden of emigration resting on some others. The same people are not, how- ever. the canse of the trouble. While America revolts at the inferior and unassimilating el ments that seek a new field of disturbance in this corner of the world, the government of Sweden, alarmed at the drain on her resources of citizeaship, has ordered an inquiry as to the conditions in parts of that country said to be simost totally deprived of their young men. Not only are the young, aetive workers in the fieid going away to the United States, but con- scripts for the army are fajling short, thus in- creasing the burden of those persons subject to conscription yet remaining in Sweden. The young women employed in domestic service are also leaving and wages in consequence have risen to double the figures of a few years ago. This is only one-half the trouble. The genuine ‘Swede’s place is taken by Finns and Lapps, and a change of great ethnological significance is working all too rapidly for the light-haired sons of the Vikings. What is the meat of America is therefore, from this point of view, the poison of Scandinavia. Well, all history shows that nations and races of men are not to be restrained from going when they make up their minds to go. ‘This principle of ethnologic flux, like the corresponding principle in science, TONIGHT—We shail be open until 9:30 oun PLANS. ————— for the better secommoda- tion of our patrons.

We've got the stock down to a more convenient size. But there's one day left for bargain buying. You know we cut Some that were—$6.00 Some that were—$6.5 Some that were Some that were—$7.50 ‘Some that were—$3.00 Then you'll remember we had a chance to buy some regular $4 and 85 qualities very cheap—and we're selling them as we bought is for the benefit of humanity and cannot be controlled by governmental action. A govern- ment may expel its subjects, as Spain sen’ the Moors, France the Huguenots and Rusia is now ostracizing the Heb: If a nation is mad enough to slough off large parts of its best industrial population that cannot be pre- vented. But no government is strong enough to restrain emigration to any considerable ex- tent. All Sweden can do or probably desires to dois to offer inducements to the people to stay at home. And inducements will be, ina large measure, ineffectual. For such people as the Swedes. Dangs aud Norwegians, America has strong attractions. > —— The announcement that a bill will be intro- duced in parliament today enabling the qacen to prohibit British subjects from catching seals in Bering sea for a limited period is an outward and audible sign of the negotia concerning the seals now in progress between this republic and Great Britain, but it is un- certain how much significance is tobe attached to it. The grant of the power wiil place the British government in a position where it can join the United States in enforcing a closed season, if it has a mind todo so. The move is of extreme importance if it is one of the neces- in carrying out an agreement al- ready reached between the two governments. Without this agreement the announcement would be merely a maneuver by Great Britain to throw responsibility for a failure of the negotiations for a closed season upon the United States, the intention being to show an outward willingness to negotiate, but to delay the prohibition of seal catching by the discus sion of conditions until such action would come so late as to be inoperative. if that time has not already arrived. Further developments must be awaited to show whether Great Britain is indulging in diplomatic jugglery or intends im gogd faith to join with the United States to suppress seal poaching pending arrangements for the permanent protection of the seals. - — The Reformed Presbyterian Synod will prob- ably expel seven young ministers for voting at an American election, an action forbidden by the principles of that religious body. Some future legisiature of the republic will perhaps be compelled to pass a measure expeliing and €jecting from the country those American citi We. zens who are too fastidious or too in- different or too subject to some un- American tendency to exercise the grand privilege of an American sovereign, and who, while enjoying the protection and benefits of the republic, yield interest in political affairs to those of whose conduct as detrimental to the public welfare they are the first to complain. The republic wants nothing approaching a union of church and state. From the nature of things a clergyman cannot be and ought not to be an active politician. But it is « strange and un-American doctrine which practically forbids a religious teacher to be a citizen. a The organization of the American (Meth- odist) University is an event of happy signiti- cance. With the preliminary fund nearly made up and with the general public friendly to the purposes of the institution the pros- pects are highly encours for the é opening of another national university at tl capital The enterprise is in most capable hands. The appeal to the public for five mill- ion dollars, with which to put the’ university into operation, which is shortly to be issued, cannot tail under the favorable conditions to meet with a hearty and a liberal response. Wisdom is shown in the steps taken to place versity on a broadly non-sectarian ting on the board of trustees rep- ious churches interested uch an institution established. 2 —— In expressing the hope that the Sultan of Turkey will support the scheme for settling the kussian Hebrews in Palestine, Mr. Gladstone scems to be echoing the lofty aspirations of of the race so eloquently voiced by a t great English writer, George Eliot. The return of the Israclites to their own land after a long, cheequered and painful banishment would be one of the most impressive events of modern times. ——— Prof. Wiggins, it is said, has thrown bis bril- liant imagination in a new direetion. The cen. ter of disturbance is the planet Jupiter, and Uke effort takes the form of a novel instcad of sieutitic prediction. As a novelist Wiggins ought to be a success. oe - As was generally expected after the first trial, Plenty Horses, the Sioux Iudian who shot Lieut. Casey, bas been acquitted on the ground that war existed between the Indians and the United States. For a western judge and jary to acquit on apy ground an Indian who had deliberately shot @ white man is a notable achievement $+ If Gen.
