Only a short time ago Prof Benjamin Ide Wheeler in one of his lectures startled his hearers in a Bu- | ropean capital with the statement that the people of the United States were a distinct departure from all known | standards, and that there was in truth |an Amerfcan race different in every | | way from the English, to whom other | nations have been apt to compare the population of the States Immigrants from other shores bring {to this country and retain here to a | large extent their home characteristics of living, and only the narrow-minded would attempt to urge them to aban- | don their favorite customs. But with | the cradle of the first generation born {on American soil the change begins, and with the intermarriage that quickly succeeds, the characteristics of all nations are merged into the Ameri can type that canwot be identified with any of thg older races. Americans themselves are proud of the fact that | from some of the immigrants most d voted to old-world customs have devel- | oped most splendid citizens, and nearly every family here can tell of straine | | and cross-stralns in its own case that | have tended to develop the likenessto | the national type The mixture of the many races is in a great measure responsible for this cultivation of an American race, but the commission finds that climatic con- ditions also have a share, as had been claimed by students of ethnology for some time. A few radicals have even gone go far as to point out a likeness | |in the typical white man of the United States to the native redskin in the mat- ter of stature, skull shape and high cheek bones. The commission does not go so far as this, but does admit ground for the persistent theory that thé shape of the head changes to a uniform type with every race after it is transplanted to this continent. Thackeray noticed the tendency of the individual to alter his moods fnd ways during his Visit to this country | &nd hag recorded his impressions on that point in strong corroboration of the theovy that the American climate altered the Buropean in spite of him- self. The current official report of careful investigation along this line settles beyond dispute that climate, so- | clal conditions and the admixture of | the races have combined to produce a people who may be known as the Amerfean race in bold contrast to any other of the white man's divisions. To be an American is to be not sim- ply a resident of the United States; but an individual unit of a uniform nation whose characteristies mark them apart from any and all of the races from which they have developed, and the citizen of no other country has so great 2 reason to be proud of his type. Belgium’s Opportunity. Prince Albert, who will succeed his uncle, the aged Leopold, on the throne of Belglum, is a young man reputed to be of clean mind, high motives and cultivation in all the ways of modern progress. That was the impression he left on the United States and other countries during his visits of observa- tion to see how the rest of the world lived. His accedsion should mean much to his country. Belglum is onc of the least vanced of European nations in the matter of ecivilization, based on the American standard of living. While it is true that Brussels amd some other centers .of population have made marked improvement, due largely to association with tourists and the ab- sorption ~ from them of progressive ideas, still in the country at large the | grade is low. The country is the most densely populacad in Europe, and there has been little encouragement for rais- ing it from dense ignorance as well. | Woman is classed with beasts of bur- den, works with mules in the mines, with oxen in the fields and joins with | dogs in pulling loads over the roads. | In a country where such things ob- tain, a young and progressive mon- arch like Albert has boundless oppor-| tunities, and the clvilized nations will | have great cause for disappointment if he does not steadily raise the economie | and social conditions among his peo- ple. In Belgium, as in the Congo, the new regime must be of incalculable benefit, ad- Conviotion of the Ice Combine. While the success of the state New York in its. prosecution of American Ice company has besn con- sidered largely a local affair, there are some general phases of the case |that have an ffterest to the .whole country. The American company had come iutd control of the entire output of natural ice along the Atlantic sea- board, and by gradually eclosing up harvesting houses in Maine and along the Hudson had. squeezed excessive | profits out of the consumers and | wrought much hardship among the poor, particularly in the thronged East | Side of Manhattan. While the fines imposed cannot re- pay the sufferers In the tenements for thelr inability to buy ice under the combine’'s exactions, still the whole- some lesson learned is likely to bear ita good fruft during the coming sum- mer.
