THE Y BAR'S IMMIGRATIO Tt is estimated that the immigration 10 this country during 1559 was about one hundred thousand less than for the previous year, when it was a little more than half a million. Since 1882, when the tide reachea its highest point, there has been a prewty steady decline. In seventy years, during which accurate statistics have been compiled, the United States has received from for- cign countries an aggregate of about fifteen million people, about six million of whom came from Great DBritain— more than half of this number from Treland—and four and a half million from Germany. These nations con- tinue to supply the largest proportion of immigrants, Germany leading any other one country. There is certainly startling in these ligures to warrant the demand for more restrictive immigra tion laws, particularly in view of the fact that the number of immigrants last year was less by nearly one-hall than the number that came into the country seven years ago, and that the tide is shown to be still diminishing. The fact is that the immigration prob- lem, ubout which some persons are so troubled, is in a fair way to solve itself. The United States can no longer be re- nothing very garded as @ new country, and 1t does not present to Luropeans in search of a new home the alturing attractions iv formerly did. New regions with a desirable soil and climate have been thrown open to set- tloment, and while we once had the field to oursclves we now have many competitors. The Argentine Republic and other countries of South America have beeome eager and generous bid- ders for Buropean immigrants, and they offer advantages and opportunities to the intelligent and industrious veus- antry of Burope quite equal, if not su- perior, to any we have. Underthe new political conditions in Brazil, if they | shall be mainteined, that country is likely to draw heavily upon Europe for population to aid in the development of 1ts vast resouvces, and with a republi- can system of government there will be no more attractive country in the world. Tt is easily capable of support- ing ten times® its present povulation, and 1t is rich in everything that can invite industry and ener Chili 15 another field for immigration that is opening up great opportunities which are being brought to the attention of the home scekers of Europe. It is therofore obvious that if there are any such dangers from immigration as some persons profess to believe its present tendencies must largely re- move them, and certainly fow intelli- gent and unprejuaiced people can be in- duced to believe that an annual accession of half a million foreigners, of the class not excluded by existing laws, to a pop- ulation of seventy million, can be a mennce to our social, political or material wellare. STATE LEGISLATION. Within a week the legislatures of most of the states will be in session,and the business of making laws for the sovereign commonwealths will be in full operation., State legislation Las for the most part greater intervest for the people than national law naking. It touches more nearly their personal and businessaffaivs. Questions of taxa- tion, of corporate regulation, of public improvemeuts, of municipal reforms, and many others whicn have direct re- lation ‘to the interests and welfure of the people of a state, ordinarily give them greater concern than most of the matters which it is the province of the congress to legislate upon. The as- sembling of the state legisiatores—the *‘minor congresses’ of the people—each representing sovereign rights guaran- teed by the federal constitution, is therefore a matter of very great import- ance in our political system. One of the most important acts of some of these legislutures will be the election of United States seuators. The terms of twenty-five senators vxpire in 1801, A poruon of the states have chosen their successors, but the larger number of the places will have to be filled by the legislatures soon to meet, Among the most prominent of those to whom successors are to be chosen are Ivarts of New York, Camerou of Penn - sylvania, Payne of Ohio, Allison of Towa, fugalls of Kansas, Teller of Colo- rado, Farwell of Illinois, Voorhees of Indiana, Platt of Conneeticut, Morrill of Vermont, Spooner of Wisconsin, Stanford of California and Jones of Ne- vada, Innone of the states to elect senators will there be any change in the political character of the men chosen, and the indications are that all these senators who are seeking re- election will be their own successors, with the exception of Mr. Payne of Ohio, who is not a candidate. As to questions of legislation, there are soveral of vital importance which will engage the attention of most of the legislatures, . One of these is ballot re- form The success of the now ballot law of Massachusetts, freely conceded by all partiesin that state, has given a much wider intorest to the question than has cver before been shown. Leading men of both parties are advo- cating the reform, not in all casos ex- actly on the lines of the Massachusotts law, or what is known as the Australian system, but such a change from present methods as will secure, as far as it is possible to do so, a free and honest bal- lot. There 15 no question anywhere as to the desirability and necessity of re- form in our election methods generally, the differcuce of opinion being simply as to the wisest and most practicable way to effect the veform without any impairment retriction of the suffrage So widespread has the senti- ment in favor of reform become that it wmay safely be expected to oceupy the attention of nearly all the legis- latures of the present year, and undoubtedly in many of them new elec- tion laws will be enacted. Anolher matter that will command the attention of many of the legisla- tures is that of providing against trusts and similarcombinations. The dispos! tion already shown in congress to take hold of this question and respond to the populur demand for anti-trust legisla- tion will be an inceutive to the state legislatures to do likewise, and as this is a matter which cannot easily be made a party issue, there is every probability that the national statutes and those of a number of the states will, before the year closes, be inereased by the addition of laws for the suppression and preven- tion of trusts and all combinations for arbitrarily controlling the products of the country. In some of the states the ever-present liquor question will re- ceive more or less attention, and wher- ever this is promised the indications are favorable tothe successof the high Ticense principle. THE COMMITIEES IN RECESS. The wisdom of Speaker Reed in an- nouncing the house committees before the holiday recess is approved by the results. A large amountof work, which would otherwise have been necessarily postponed until the middle of Januar has already been accomplished. The committees have organized, most of them have selected clerks and all are in fighting trim for prompt and contin- ued effort. The action of Chairman McKinley of the ways and means committee in holding sessions of the com- mittee has already enabled it to dispose of a large portion of the work which it has set out to accom- plish. Mr, McKinley very properly rec- ognizes that it is essential that a revis- ion of the tarill be made at the present sion of congress, and that the prom- ises of the republican platform must be fulfilled in order to satisfy the growing demanas for tariff reform. It wus wise 1n him, therefore, while declining to follow the example of the last ways and means commitiee, which refused rings to all parties, to insist that in- stsand industiries which had already been fully hoard before the senate com- mittee on finance last spring, should not duplicate their testimony and take up the valuable time of the committee of which he is the head. By the time congress reconvenes Mr. McKinley ex- pects to have paved the way for prompt consideration of a tariff bill and to have collected most of the testimony nec- essary for intelligent action on the part of the committee. The people generally will join with Speaker Roed in the hope that such a revision of the rules of congress will be accomplished as to prevent the tedious and useless fillibustering which has for several years past unduly protracted the sessions of the house, and has in a num- ber of instances prevented the passage of legislation which the public had a vight to expect. The small majority which the republican party has in the house of representatives makes it essential that some means shall be adopted by which purely dila- tory motions can be ruled out of order. In England, as in France, the power to decide whether a motion is made purely for purposes of delay rests with the spenker. Whether such discretion shall be vested in Mr. Reed, or whether such a revision of the house rules can be made as will prevent suc:essive motions for adjournment and roll calls without the transaction of legislative business intermediate between them, is the problem which the house committee on rules has confronting it and which must be determined by a vote in the house itself, The early announcement and forma- tion of the committee on appropriations will ulso be greatly to the benefkt of the expedition of public business, Wash- ington dispatches state that the esti- mates are all in and that the committee having organized, its clerks during the recess have been busily engaged in pre- varing the materials for the considera- tion of the various sub-committees. Its chaifman, Mr. Cannon of Illinois, is a western man, thoroughly identified with western growth, and may be ex- pected to see that the combination of castern interests shall not again, as it has 8o often done 1n the past, militate against the demands of the west for proper recognition in the expenditure of public moveys. Altogether there is every reason to believe that the present session of co gress will be a business session. It has started out auspiciously and there seems to be an evident desire on the part of both the senate and housé to get down to the work before them, E— THE San Fruncisco Chronicle ridi- cules the report that the Central Pacific is the power behind the throne of the Pacifie Short Line. To any one famil- iar with the wethods of the Hunting- tons, the Stanfords and Crockers the denial was needless. From the moment the Thurman bill became a law these cormorants conspired to exploit the Central Pacific, to divert its legitimate traffic southward and to keep it on the verge of hnu‘!m tey in order to rob the government, in ovent of foreclosure. They made no secrot of their dishonest purposes, andmslong as the government has a claim on the road they will keep it in that condition and turn the profits into the coffers of the Southern Pacific.

PREPARED TO FIGHT. @ Mr, limes, A Schooner Which Proposes to Trade in Colombian Wa NEew Yonrg, Dec. 3L.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee |—Although the state department at Washington has not yet been officially - formed of the seizures made by the Colom- bian government, merchants in this aty engaged in the San Blas trade are keenly alive to them and have taken the law into their own bands. The schooner George W. Whit- ford, owned by L. Schepp & Co., one of the largest importers here, cleared for Colon on Friday last, ‘There was a generous supply of firearms, including rifles and cartridges to fit, on board, besides one or two cannons, The Whitford is a staunch little fore-a after craft of 11 tous, and her extra large crew is composed entirely of Yankees, Thers was & full careo of clothing, caps, hardware, provisions and otber material stowed, to be exchanged with the San Blas Indians for cocoanuts, ivory and tortoiso shells, The vessel sailed on Saturday, and Captain Foster, her commander, had full written in- structions regurding his action in case the Colombian gunboat La Papa tried to capture the Whitford. He wasinstructed to procoed to Colon and there to comply with all the rujes anda regulations of the country in ob- taining a regular ofiicial liconse signed by the prefect ana treasurer of the port. After this he was to proceed to the San Blas ports after the usual custom, and if the gunboat La Papa interferedithe captain of the Whit- ford was instructed to resist capture, This means that some stirring news may be ex- pected from San Hlas soon, as it is-well known here that both of Foster & Co's ves- sels, the Julien and Willie, were seized by the Colombiavs even after the captain of each had secured a license from the authoritios at Colon precisely as Captain Foster of the Whitford bas been instructed to do. Ll A Procket Typewriter. A pocket typewriter is shortly to be offered to the British public, says the Pacific Slope Patent Office Record. Typewriting instruments now in the market are of considerable size and welght—at least a person could scarcely think of carrying one about with him regularly. ‘The one under notice is not only inexpensive, but is so small that it may be carried in the waistcoat pocket. The retail price will be under 10 shil- lings. It measures three and one-half inches by three inches and weighs about four ounces. Though so small it is not a mere toy. The inventor claims for it that 1t will turn out better work and be found more useful than larger and more exponsive machines, With reference to its construction, all that can be seen when superficially examinetl is a disk about the size of the face of a gentle- man’s watch, in which the typeas fixed, and one or two small rollers, It will print a line from au inch to a yard long and paper of any size or thickness can be used. Any one can use it, tnough, as in the case of other instruments, practice is required to enable the oper- ator to write quickly. Another ad- vantage is that by means of duplicate types the writer can be used for differ- ent languages.
