Returning Tide of Immigration. More than 30.000 immigrants ar. rived In New York last week and the steamship bookings indicate a record for the year that promises to equal the high mark set in 1907. How many of those returning are members of last year's emigration and how many are |new to the country does not yet ap- pear. Tn the*first two months of last year the emigrants from New York exceeded the immigrants in number by 108,000, whereas for January and February of this year the arrivals have exceedgd the departures by 100,600, A repprt has gone abroad throughout | Burope that business depression in America has passed and that industrial conditions are rapidly nearing the normal. Many of those who sailed for their native land in 1908 are now re- turning and bringing others with them That there should be such an in- crease in immigration at this season of the year s a little surprising There has been no such rapid revival of the industries to call the workmen back in such large numbers, but the immigrants watch the labor market closely and are undoubtedly satisfied that their services will be in demand. There {8 reason to suppose that the de- mand for agricultural labor will be greater than ever in the west and south and there is promise of unusual activity in railroad construction work in several parts of the country. The bullding reports from different cities foreshadow great activity in that line, beginning early in the season, and factories are generally operating very nearly to capacity, despite the depres sion that always obtains when a tariff bill is under discussion. The commissioner of immigration reports that the sources of February arrivals are as follows Austria-Hungary Ttaly the Inite Germany +0..12,900 20,300 8,800 From 1,186 Of these the Italians are the float- ing army, most of them making no ef- to become permanent residents, but following the demand for labor. The immigrants from other countries generally plan to become citizens, and their arrival in such large numbers creates a problem in the economic world arising from conflicts in dif- ferent standards of living. On this ac- count the government officials are making an extra effort to have these foreigners distributed throughout the country as much as possible instead of allowing them to form colanies and districts In the already congested large citfes. Kingdom The Brownsville Incident. President Taft has acted promptly in following the authorization of con- gress for the appointment of a board of army officers for inquiry into what is known as the Brownsyille case. The board is composed of five brigadier generals of long experience and high personal character, thus furnishing an assurance that full justice will be The country will have an interest in the final disposition of the case on account of the desperate attempts of Senator Foraker and others to make political capital out of it to the hurt of the republican ticket in the last campaign. There has been the great- est conflict of testimony and the facts of the Texas tragedy are still in dis- pute. The troops were discharged by order of President Roosevelt because of the shooting up of the town by a mob, of which it is known that some were soldiers. The ‘“‘conspiracy of si- lence” was adopted to protect the guilty members of the battalion and the president determined to them all in the interests of discipline Under the act of congress the army board will have authority to recom- mend for re-enlistment any member of the battalion who succeeds in convine- ing the board of his innocence of com- plicity in the affair. This is all that the soldiers or the public could ask. Appeal for an Explorer. The facility with which Americans | lose interest in and track of adventur- ous explorers who get out of touch with the regular news channels is illus- trated by an appeal just issued by Ad- miral Schley, president of the Arctic Club of America, for funds to equip an expedition for the relief of Dr Frederick A. Cook, now lost in the north polar regions No word has | been recelved from the Cook party nce March 17, 1908, a little more plorer fear he may be i1l or stranded through some accident | Dr. Cook is a Brooklyn physician, | who was with two of the Peary expedi- tions. He started for the north pole via Greenland, early In 1907. He reached Cape Sabine about March 1, a year ago, and struck out straight for the pole. The last report from him stated that he was at a point about fifty miles north of Cape Thomas Hub- bard, ou the polar sea, and that all with him were well. The explorer had planned to return by September of last year, but as no word has been receiv from him, the Arctic club proposes to equip an expedition for his relief at an expense of about $30,000, which it is desired to raise by popular subscrip- tions.

All the railroads doing business in | Missouri have agreed to utilize the de- | cision they secured from Judge Me- Pherson overturning the Missouri 2- ;u-m tare law to put their passenger | rates up again to a 3-cent basis, When the passenger fare legislation was | pending the railroads would have been | very glad to have compromised on 2% cents. They have admitted that the abolition of the free pass has brought them a snug addition to their passen- ger revenue, but they now want to keep this and exact the full 3 cents a mile as before. In other words, they want to get the benefit of all the legis- lation that brings them more money, but to make no concessions whatever to the traveling publie The Missouri railroads are acting just about as penny wise and pound foolish as did the Nebraska railroads when they refused to up their taxes. The average railroad man can see no further ahead than the ticket window. He prates about the desira- bility of co-operation between the rail- way and the public, but when he has a chance to co-operate he refuses to vield -a single inch. If the railroads attempt their retaliatory Missouri performance in other states that enacted 2-cent fare laws they may expect to have their hands full. pay to repeat A Law Ignored. The Omaha charter bill, carrying an emergency clause, was signed by Gov- ernor Shallenberger last week. It be- came effective as a law the moment | the gubernatorial signature was at- tached. That section of the bill re- | lating to the Board of Fire and Police commissioners for Omaha contains the following proviso: Provided, That the governor of the state shall, within ten days after this act takes effect, appoint pe . citizens of the city possessing the ifications for the office of fire and police commissioner prescribed in thi to serve until the first general following and until their successors are eclected and qualif act, election a | Notwithstanding the mandatory lan- guage of this act, the governor has al- lowed the ten days to go by without taking any action and the time is up whén he can make further police !Imurd appointments, Why the gov- ernor should sidestep a duty Imposed on him by a law which he, himself, has signed is not clear. Evidently he did not care to reappoint all the members of the present board and feared to ap- point others to succeed them. Presumably the existing police board will continue as holdovers until their places are demanded by duly elected and properly qualified succes- sors. Should any vacancies occur in the police board membership by death or resignation within the next six ‘wm'k\' they would be filled by appoint- {ment by Mayor Dahlman-—the very thing which the ' law-makers who |framed the charter bill insisted they | wanted to prevent.

The task of raising Increased revenue in Germany would not be serious or oppressive If the consent of the Relch- tag can be obtained, but the difficulty lies in holding together a majority of the sey- eral party divisions on a policy of increased taxation. France has exhausted almost every source of taxation and is now striv- ing to fashion an Income tax which will place the Increased burden on the rich Great Britain is situated much like France Inheritance taxation has been pushed to the lmit, and incomes must bear much more of the load which sea power presses to the fore. In England public sentiment emphatically demands continued supremacy of the sea, going o far as to demand that the ministerial policy of four Dreadnoughts a year be raised to elght, mvolving the gi- gantic sum of $80,000,000 for alone. The agitation for the has a political motive. servative minority takes advantage of the “invaslon” scare and uses it means of embarrassing the ministry and discred- Iting the party in power.
