A census bulletin mae recently been pub.

hof itates
ot foreign paenla . , "hleh , for the first
tme , gives a beats torI accurate 8latlenls
on this suhjeet. The report covers nil per-
sons , whether themselves born In ths cotmn-
Ir y er abrall , who hal either one or both
parents foreign-born This Is a 11eh fairer
sy stem than the old llvision of native ali
forelgn.lorn , since the chili born here of
parentl from a Emmropeami country Is olen
Iluie as luch a foreigner as though he , too ,
had been bent abroad ,
I allpears that allost exactly one-third
oo f our IJeOllle are the chlliren of parent one
or both of whom C31e from another cour
the IJrOIJorlon being 33.02 per cent of ! the
whole iopuhation. The variations In prOIJor-
lon i are from seven.tenths of 1 per cent In
Norlh Carolina to 78.98 per Cent In North la-
kota , Most people would probablt expect to
fnd fit time percentage largest In the stales along
the t north Atlantic seaboard , and partIcularly
New Ycrle : but I turns out that the greatest
prOIJorlon Is In time northwestern stales of
Wisconsin , Minnesota anti North Dakota , time
nearest or which Is 1,00 mies from the port
where 10st Immigrants land.
The south as a sectIon Is extraordinarily
free from any foreign mixture .
North Carolina , as has been said ,
has I less than 1 Iler cent of
such Inhablants , all the Ilrollorton docs not
reach 3 per cent In Virginia , South Carolna ,
Georgia , Mississippi or Alabama , while I Is
hul Ile larger In any other state In that
part of the counlr ) ' . In short the "foreign
element" amounts to Ilractealy nothing In
the wllle south. That region Is almost cx-
clusl'ely peopled today by the desceliants of
the t original settlers.
One of the chler Issues heforo the nalon for
man ) ' years past has been the financIal one ,
In i Its various phases of' greenlacklsm , in-
faton , all the 'hodgpollge of theories ' known
as Polnhiismn . Theoretcaly , If time country
Is i being ruined by the "foreign element , " It
ought to have been , during the lst twenty
y ears , the section where that clement was
slrongest which would have gone furthest
wrong , and the section from which It ) vas
almost absent that would have stood true
at o ancient traditIons. In point of fact It
has h leen the foreign north that saved the
nation m from time ruin In which the natIve
soulh would have Involved It I It could have
had I Its way. Over and over aglin the
south has come near to being unanimously
wrong , whlc time right has been sustained
as overwhelmingly hy states Ilc Massachn-
seUs , Connectcut and New York , 'Ith more
than half or their pcol11e foreign-born , and
almost as warmly ly such slates as Wisconsin -
sin and Minnesota , where the proportion
reaches throe-fourths.
Tale the recent campaign , for example ,
and consider Georgia as a native slate , only
1.78 per cent of her people being of foreIgn
parentage , ant 1lnnesoll' as a foreign slate ,
the proportion being 76.43 ; per cent. Almost
every leader or the people In Georgia has
advocated free coinage , while many of them I
have h gone for toward outbidding the ( opulsts II I
on kindred Issues , and the 110pulsts ( ole I
a heavy vote , or w.hleh ( rolably not SOC I
came from the foreign clement. In 1lnne
seta the populists , ) , 'erf routed , and the m
leader or the sound money side was Govcror
Knute Nelson , born D a poor family In Norway -
way , whose widowed Inbt1ler brought him to I
tcI
this country when le was 6 years oM , and I
who has made his : , ; a1lto prominence and I
honor I ) ' his own efforts. The legislature or f
Minnesota contains' ' 168 members and 'forty-
seven representaUve -elect are Scandlna"lan
repulieans , who are asIsound , on the fnan-
cial Issue as Governor Nelson.
I the foreign element , Increases tim dIm -
culy of securing goo I gOYQTnment In our
great cities , It Is easy , 'to exaggerate itt m ,
immtiuencc. More than - 80 per cenl or New
York's people ore or foreIgn imarent -
age , and less than ( j per cent or Pimila -
deiphia's. The proportion was still smaler :
in the later city years ago. and yet Phia-
delphia has had Its rings , Its machines , Its
stealing from the public treasury , its fraud 5
In elections and its demnlls for popular uprising -
rising against the enemies of good govern -
ment. The city which has the largest for
eign element Is Milwaukee (86.36 ( per cent ) ,
pr
and the city government of Milwaukee wi
compare favorably with that of BaltImore ,
where tie proportion Is less than hair as :
great , or Memphis , where It Is not one-fourth
so large. Indeed , any student of municipal
government must have been Impressed by :
the complaints or the same evils and the
same difficulties as exist In New York whIch
come from smaler cities all over the country
where the foreign element Is email.
Run over Limo list or men who have been
lenders on the wrong side In our politics and
one wi le struck hy the smal proporton
or them who are or foreIgn descent. Spealeer
Crisp was born on English sol , but there I S
not another man In the whole south who has

City Engineer Rosewater Is working on his
relJOrt , which will I ! an interesting 110cu.
menl. m Among the malers which he will
eonslter In detail will II the questIon of
water IJressure , of which he has been n
s lllent since long before he became city
engineer. Hi suggestions wi le largely
along m the line detaIled In his testmony
herore the Investigating commltce , but he
will g into details mere partcularly anti
submit diagrams showing the present water
system , all Iltcatng the natlre of Ihe
changes which he believes won III be ben- .
t idal. His general conclusion Is that the
maIns m In the lusluess part of tIme city' arc
too small ant that limo hydrants nol ) use
are to complcated a 11 gel out of order
orler
too easiy 10 obtain the lest results.
, : . Hosewater will also cOlsller the hay-
Ilg l question at considerable length , anti In
this t connecton wi trnnscrlbe sOle of time
ulwrilen history of time combination that , In
his opinion , has sstematcal ' rol bed the
)
city through fraud and official commnlvmmnce.
lie will show time Immense Ilronls that the (
asphal contractors have reaped and the man-
ncr In which Ihey have succeeded In ex-
elutlng all real competItion In the busimiess .
lie will urge that the 10nopoly Ihat has
been enjoyed by the Barber Asphal COn18IY
ant Its different branches cannot le Iroken
In any other way Ulan I ) let lng down the
hals l to all klnls or asphalt , on I' stpulatng
that It shah be first-class In quality and
that the pavement laid shal le as good as
the best.
The report of the Boar of Pullc Works
Is still In contemplation. As this has been a
very light year for publc works , I wil not
require a \olumlnous tocument to represent
time transactions o that bed ) ' ,
WANT DETER INSPECTION.
In connecton wih his report Commissioner
of Health Savie wi recommend the addi-
ton of several new features to his depart-
ment. Chief amolg these will be an all-
proprlaton for a SUPIJlementary lureau for
time Inspecton or water , Ice and various
articles or foot which mire known to le
subject to aduleraton by dealers. The
recent discovery that dealers In flour were I
mixing more than 12 per cent or alum In
their best grles to give time product a white '
alJearance Is only one of the seve1 ' reasons
why the commissioner will content that
there ought to le a thorough inspection or
al articles of consumption.
Dr. Savie wIll also recommend that a
special inspector 'be ' employed to see to the
disinfecton of the houses where contnglous
diseases have been reported. I Is his ex-
penance that many people arc either too
11001 or too careless to properly perform
this task and thalltlt was made ( lie specIal
duly of an energetic Inspector It would
bo much easier to control the spread or r
dIsease
The city of Minneapols appropriates $2,000 ( I
a year for this purpose alone and the commissioner -
missioner thInks that Omaha should malt ;
a provision of at least $1.000 to be appled
for a more thorough disinfecton and an cx-
perlnent In the way or the inspection of
foot products He says that while pilot
of manure and refuse may be unsighty
and disagreeable they arc not necessariy the
most dangerous sources of disease. Impure
foot may bo responsible for a great den
or disease anti If there were more rigid
regulatons In this direction the results would
be manifesty satisfactory.
Dr. Savie wilt qiso reiterate Ils prevIous
recommcndatons In regard to a city hospial
In connection with the city jail and
connecton jai an am-
bulance service. lie will also urge time necessity -
sity of estallshing a contagIous disease
hospItal nt some proper location whore al
such cases may 13 Inme,1ately , taken wihout
offering further Inducement to time spread of
the disease ly unnecessary delay.
The report wIll shol that the general
health or the city during the year has boor
exceptionally good. A Ilght epidemic of
smallpox was suppressell with morc success
than might have been anticipated . eOlsller-
Ing the lack of facilities at the eommanll of
the department , alll time cases of other contagious -
tagious diseases have been generally of a i
mlil cimaracter
Time report or City Attorney Connel wi
he In the nature or n general recapiulaton
of time huslness Iransactel In the leg I depart
ment during the year. I will show the cases
pending and these which have been rlsposet
of and will present a complelo record of
all legal transaclons In which the city Is I
interested. I will also show that the expenses -
penses In that deparlment have been cut
In two durIng the year alI that an ellual 1
retueton may le made next year. This Is I
owing 10 the fact that the city has been
successful In a greater majority of cases ,
so that the temants on the judgment funt
have been materialy rellucel ,
The reports or tIme various teparlments
of the Board of Elluealon arc nearly complete -
pleto and will be issued some ( lute In Janu.
ary. That of Clnton N , Powel , tIme retring
preshlent of the heart , will devote u good
teal of space to time more ornamenlal
branches of the school worle , especially time
Ililergartens , music anti drawing. lie wIll
take time Iround that there Is a generl
milconcepton of the I utility a 111 expense
of the klnlergarlen system of educatiomm .
Contrary to time general Impression , the cmi-
lahlshment of time Itndergartens does not
ald u Ilenny to time leifmale expensel of
running the schools. No PUIJls under school
age are admi led anti since these would have
10 be provided for In nny case It costs no
more 10 put them la time Itlndergarten dul-
Ing Ito first year Ihan In lie lowest of time
regular school grades. The argument In
favor of [ the kindergarten Is that ( I a PUIII
Is to spend three or four years In the schools ,
ho or she will he rurther ad\'ancell at time
enll or that period I time fIrst year Is spent
In the Itnlerglrten , than If the chil was
taken at aries into the regular grades . as
was formerly time custom. The Itlndergarten
Iralnlng leaches the child to think and Iralns
time memory so that the plogross Is mich
more satisfactory during the remaining years
of school life.
Mr. Powell will also protesl against the
elimination or time I'resent course II music
and lra wing. These together enl ) represent
a IJer capita expense ot about 25 cents out
of a total of $25 , and h ( malnlulns that they
are essential to the welfare of the scimoois.
Nearly three.quarters ot the PUIlls are cimild.
ron of hoar parents and this affords them
ad\'anlages that they could not obtain In
any other way.
The report will also deal to some extent
