A New York man committed suicide because he was afraid he had Erigut's disease, but it was found w hen the doc tors examined him that he didn't have It and probably never would have been afflicted with uiv such malady. This shows how unwise It is to be husty re garding these i-jtters. Every time the sun goes down the population of the Inited States has been increased by aliout 2.000 souls, not by means of birth, but by the ar rival of foreigners, who lielieve that there Is a better chance to live and prosper in this country than in Europe. That means a little city every week. Annually there is a scare beeause of this Influx. Some migbty unpromis ing material reaches the United States, and some of us feel that there is dan ger in the peopling of cities with those who have no conception of American ways, and who are, in many instances, too old to learn. Strangely enough, the great anthracite strike proved that we can assimilate much faster than we liad supposed, 'i ue mines were full of men who were ignorant of the lan guage and customs of America. The wages they earned and the foul th.-y ate were more and better than any thing they could have hoped for In Eu rope, where they and their ancestors had been but little more than slaves. And vet they were organized by mwi with whiter skins than theirs; they felt the longing for more comfort it, more liberty for their children, and they stood shoulder to f .boulder with the far lesser number of Americans, endur-d hunger and refused to work under the old conditions. It was a murk pf grow ing civilization. Then there is another truth. A good iiuinw of the grown folks will never become ard'-nt Ameri cans. You can't shake oft the hah :ts of the centuries In one generation. Km the children catch step w llh the Yan kee ways. If It were not for their strange names you wouldn't know whether they were born in Vermont or Palermo. They live American; they chase dollars as diligently a lh" ambitious Yankee, and they even think American. The total immigra tion in liRRJ was 73!VJ0. That is 110. 000 more than in V.ml. It represents an immense amount of Kuroptun op pression, and it is good' to ku iw that the plain people of Europe can sua find hope under the Cag of the United States. Uncle Russe'i Sage is back at work again after his ilLuess with as much energy as if he was buying a cottage on monthly payments. Uncle Russell is one of a considerable number of fit i tens who have not been impressed with the disgrace of dying rich,' so graphi cally set forth by Mr. Carnegie. Justice Sabath says there are too many babies in the ghetto of Chicago. He may expect a stinging reproof from Dr. Shrady, President Eliot, President Roosevelt, et al. How can any person have too many children, even though their nursery is the street, their rattle it policeman's club and their bedroom a barrel in an alley? One of the questions about which some people are worrying just now Is Whether John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Is eligible to heaven. As the problem presents some difficulties, owing to ra rous interpretations of the entrance conditions, to say nothing of the world's inability ever to learn how it comes out until too late for any of us to profit by it, why not quit worrying about it and turn all that surplus men tal activity into more practical channels? Prof. Theodore Mommsen, the Ger man historian who has just received the Nobel prize for literature, has written a note to the New York Independent, which asked him to give his views on the best way to advance German-A mer- , lean rood feeling. "As a German," says the eminent and venerable author, 'T am a well-wisher to America, and fully persuaded that the only hope for the future la to be found In cordial relations ind trustful alliance between your great republic and my country." He adds tnodMtly that be has not the arrogance to be! la-re that the words of an old pro fessor would change anything In their ictnal stata. Bat every such expression of opinion makes for peace and good will. . Ik London Lancet has taken up an ! artleU published by .Dr..

Volume II part II on population pre sents tables which indicate that the rate is consider bly higher among in r sons of - foreign parentage than it is among those of native parentage, and declares that "the changes In the age constitution of the native elements of the population are caused piincipally h- n decrease in the fecundity of n;i tite-born women of native extraciiuii." These changes show a di.'llne .in the proportion of children reported for tU; first years of life, aud the report adds that while the loss may lie due in a measure 'to omissions and misstate ments, to a slight decrease in the num ber of marriages for American women and to the 'postponement of marriage to a later period in life, all these causes are of inferior importance to the one first named. A summary is then given which shows "that from J&'JO to UtnO there was an aggregate increase In the native white population of 10.615.0S8. or zo.l per cenx; uui auer eiciuuuigi the children less than 10 years of age both of whose parents were of foreign birth, - the numerical increase Ik re duced to, approximately, l,3t'J,r.K and the percentage of increase to 10." The effect of the exclusion is particularly noticeable In the North Atlantic divi sion, where the change In pereentntres is from 20.0 to 9.5. In other parts of the country this change Is: South At lantic, 20.5 to 19.0; North Central, 21.1 to 12.8; South Central, 28.9 to 2S.4; Western. 41.3 to 32.5. We quote the following on the subject from an arti cle In the Nineteenth Ceiittihy: "As late as 1844) th Increase in the population by reproduction was 28.01, by iiiiniigni tlon 4.66.' By 1890 tbe Bret had dwin dled to W 40 and the second had In creased to 10.46." During tbe latter part of the decade 1890-1900 there was a decline of Immigration, and ss fl re sult the census returns on population showed "a relatively smaller Increase than the figures of any previous decade since the Declaration of Independence." Thus the fact of a low birth rate seems to be pretty well established.
