In the year 18SO the foreigner * resident In
the United States numbered 2,24l.COJ , or
9.68 per cent of { be total population. The
census of 1890 reports 9,219,547 foreigner * ,
constituting 14.77 per cent of the total \top\f- \ \
lotion. Ttie Incrcaso in forty years has In
round numbers been seven millions , of which
Germany ( Including Austria ) has contributed
about 2,220,000. Ireland a little over 1.000-
000 , and England and her North American
colonies about 1.500,000. Then "comes Swe
den with nearly DOO.OOO , Norway with some
thing over 300,000 , and Scotland with up
ward of 200,000. The Slavonic people cut
jnucb less of a figure than , considering their
.prominence In the newspapers , we had been
led to expect , Russia , Hungary , Bohemia
and Poland aggregating but 510,625 , of which
all but about .1,000 Is Increase since 1850.
The Latin nations , Including French , Span-
lards , Portuguese , Italians and their Ameri
can colonies , fall considerably below the half
million (346,197. (
It It be true , as has been frequently as
serted , that the most composite nations of
pure Caucasian stock will be likely to de
velop the vital qualities which determine
survival , we need not , In spite of all the
problems which harass us , be troubled about
our tenure of the future.
The English , from whose dominions all
over the globe this .inference has been
drawn , rejoice In a compound mixture of
Celtic , Norse and German blood ; but they
cannot in point of composltenesu hold a
candle to the American of the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries Into-n hose veins
all the varied elements of the above named
races shall have been distilled. This process
of the gradual absorption and assimilation ot
tlio constantly Increasing Immigrant popula
tion will be a most Interesting one to watch
But It is not to be denied that it Is fraught
with dangers to the state -which offer many
reasons the sanguine American legislator
has until recently refused to recognize.
1 HE MONEY VALUE OF AN IMMIGRANT.
The view of the Immigrant which pre
vailed in and out of congress until about
1SSO took into account nothing but the
value of his muscle and the money be
brought in his pocket. The country of his
Mrth was deprived of his productive energy
Just as hevajs becoming capable of repaying
the cost of his rearing , and It was taken
for granted that we gained what it lost.
It was computed by Us German economist ,
Frledrlch Kapp , that the average loss to
the old world was about $800 for every
person who immigrated ; and his xalue to
us vould in a mere financial sense average
more than twice that amount. According
to their estimate the loss to Europe from
Immigration in the single year of 1882 , when
730,349 souls were shipped to our shores ,
nas $584,279,200 , and our gain , without ref
erence to the actual capital which the Im
migrants brought , would exceed the dizzy
sum tot $1,000,000,000.
Optimists who reason thus , however , al
ways take | t for granted that every man is
worth - whatit cost to raise him which Is ,
In rayioplnlcn. . far ivom being a self-evident
proposition , Many ire worth a vast deal
more ; but tjjo number of those who fall to
yield interest on the capital invested Is also
very considerable. Probably when both
classes are taken Into consideration Fried-
rich Kapp'a estimate will be found to be as
near 'an approach to the truth as we may
ever hope to arrive at. But unhappily the
problem has another aspect which political
economists of this class have not sufficiently
taken intoaccount. . The immigrant Is a
good deal more complex quantity than these
gentlemen are apt to consider him. He
brings not only muscle and loose change
with him , but a heart and a brain -which
are epitomes ot the history of his race and
his country , and which will politically affect
the destiny of the race and country with
which he chooses to identify himself. He
- will raise or lower in accordance with his
quality the average intelligence and moral
ity of our electorate , -which again will be
reflected in the character of our representa
tion in state and national legislatures.
Bulrg what they are , the vast majority of
immigrants and ( particularly those of alien
races ) complicate by their presence tbe
problem of self-government and make its
Jssue more problematic than otherwise it
\vould have been.
There is no constitution conceivable which
Is ro abstractly excellent as to be applica
ble to all nations. Every known system
1 of government is completely adapted only
Tor the people which evolved It and of whose
spirit and historical tradition It is legiti
mate expression. It may by a stretch be
applied to a people differently constituted ,
but It will In that case work leas satisfac
torily and tbe alien people will instantly
take It in hand through tne suffrage and
gradually fit It to their physical and moral
condition. It is this very thing which is
taking place in the United Stales today.
Our people are no longer what. they were a
century ago. Fifteen million immigrant *
many of whom were the subjects of despot
ically governed countries , haVe since 1820
taken up their abode among us , and if we
take their descendants Into account we
cannot escape the conclusion that scarcely
one-half of the
American nation today are
of American origin , that is. descendants of
people settled here before 1820. I cannot
but believe that ( In spite of much that
points in the opposite direction ) many of
the sinister phenomena in our prcsont polit
ical condition are due to the changed char
acters of tbe electorate ana its lack of abil
ity to work representative government
for the greatest benefit ot the
greatest number. I am well
aware , of course , that the wildest
political heresies have found their adherents
in states like Kansas , Mississippi and Col
orado , which have attracted comparatively
few aliens , while Wisconsin and Minnesota ,
which are preponderating German and
Scandinavian , are fairly well governed states ,
with an intelligent and wholesome conserv
ative electorate. This fact proves only
that American birth Is In itself no guaranty
of political maturity , and that aliens of kin
dred blood may make very excellent Ameri
can -citizens. The German element In our
population. In fact , has always been a most
valuable one and furnished a needed coun
terpoise against the mercurlcal , volatile and
emotional Celtic.
SOME FRANK WORDS ABOUT THE IRISH.
It is. Indeed , the latter who is. In a large
measure , responsible for the failure of our
system as applied to municipal government.
The Irish have been despotically governed at
home , and It would be a wonder If the mere
act of transplanting them upon American soli
were to Invest them with the self-restraint
the impartial temper , the power of delibera
tion "without which no democracy can long
exUt. Tie boss government which they
have established and the fruits of which
they are enjoying In abundant measure in
New York , Chicago , Boston , Cincinnati and
many other cjtles. Is despotism pure and sim
ple cjespotUm parading under the mask of
democracy ; This li. I fancy , exactly the
kind of municipal government they would
establish at home if they were their own
masters. But It It a question whether they
are to be charged any more than the native
American , who from partisan plg-headedness
introduces , national issues into municipal
campaigns , with tbe perpetuation and de
velopment of this baneful system , which Is
now extending Us influence to the state gov
ernments and has even attempted to assert
Its power in national concerns. Mr. Bryce
has iu his "American Commonwealth" de
clared that democratic institutions can exist
only so long as tha representative in state
and national legislature * feela a sense of re
sponsibility'to hla constituency I take it.
therefore , to be an ominous symptom when
leglilaturei take to registering the dacrees
ot municipal bosses , without regard for pub
lic opinion , and , the lobby , representing
powerful Interests and corporations , becomes
a half-r ognUrd power In causing and pre
venting the enactment of laws.
I have often discussed with prominent
European * the problems which beaut our
national life , anil User have Invariably de
clared that any sort of government would
b workable In tbe United States ai lung a *
we are not confronted with that sternest of
all problems the pressure of population.
They told mo that It wa madness to en
courage Immigration after the warning
which we had received , that In fact WB had
been growing ; too fast lor our own good.
Our present duty is to Assimilate and Ameri
canize our vast alien population , and to
throw every obstacle In the way of Immigra
tion until we have accomplished this dim-
cult task. Our national domain Is now
nearly all occupied. No desirable land can
be obtained In any state under the home
stead law , and the result Is that n even
larger proportion of Immigrants remain In
our large cities , where they constitute a pro
letariat , living from hand to mouth , hbvlng
no stake In the welfare of the state , and
therefore ready to llnten lo the toclallst and
tbe anarchist , and perhaps in time t ke a
hand In revolutionary proceedings. It is
largely as a defence against this class that
the standing armies of Europe are main
tained , We have no military establishment
worthy of the name , and It Is therefore ex
tremely reckless to permit this dispropor
tionate Increase of an element which , by Us
.mere existence , weakens and undermines
the foundations of nodal order. A man
who permits the accumulation of uxploslve
and Inflammable material In his cellar should
not be surprised If one day his house
catches fire and Is burnt over his bead.

Views of Kriltor r. II. Nncel on the Subject of
jtoudn-ay Improvement * .
Mr. Curtis C. Turner , secretary of the
Douglas County Road Improvement associa
tion , received the following letter from Mr.
F. H. Nagel , editor of the Lincoln Frele
Prcsse. The latter is said to have ghen the
subject of country roadways thoughtful at
tention. His views will be read with in
terest :
C. C. TURNER , Esq. , Omaha : Dear Sir-
In response lo your open letter to the people
of Nebraska , I desire to submit to your
society and to all interested In the Improve
ment of public roads ray views on this sub
ject. As said In your letter. It Is not more
money that is needed , but better manage
ment ; when , however , a better manage
ment can only -be obtained by employing
competent supervisors of the work ; In other
words , by creating new salaried offices , which
Implies an expense of cash money by the
state. False economy and the fear that
such offices may be reduced to sinecures by
politicians are likely to stand In the way of
the much needed improvements. Besides ,
many who have never seen better roads can
hardly appreciate tbe value of such , and ,
content with the existing conditions , T
treat with contempt all efforts beyond plow
ing a ditch on each side and piling the dirt
up In the center ot the road.
A good rod must have a smooth , hard
surface at all times ot the year. In coun
tries where labor and ctone are cheap a
stone-paved road is preferable , of course , to
all others. Where such roads have been
constructed in tbe older countries an unpaved -
paved driveway Is generally maintained on
one side for light driving in dry seasons.
In Nebraska the expense cf stone paving is
too high to permit extensive use in country
districts. The costs of macadamized roads
are only about one-third , and are for that
reason preferable in our state. Near cities
where the traffic Is heavier , brick paving
would bo preferable , if good material can be
had cheap.
In county districts tbe main roads leading
to town and connecting one town with an
other should be macadamized about fourteen
feet wide. This ftrip should be on one side ,
leaving a strip for a ditch and a row of trees
to prevent washing ot the soil. On the other
side a driveway should be left to be used
in dry seasons. To have a row of trees on
each side of the road would cot only add
greatly to the appearance of the county ,
but also be of practical benefit. The plant
ing of and caring for the trees Is in older
countries done under the supervision ot the
road commissioners.
Of course , not every mile of road could
ever to paved or macadamized , nor Is this
the object of those advising improvements.
.It has , however , become an urgent neces
sity to build good roads leading to the
trade centers. A macadamized road , for
Instance , from Omaha to Lincoln , connect
ing the principal towns between tbe two
cities , branching off again in other directions
from Ashland to Wahoo and Fremont , an
other road reaching down from the crossing
of tbe Platte into Cess county , etc. , are
needed. These are , of course , only a few
instances. Many others , while the demand
for improvement of the roads may be more
urgent , may , perhaps , be found.
But who is to pay for grading , macad
amizing and maintaining these roads ? It
la true that neither the road districts nor
even the counties would provide the means
for these improvements. If the work was
left to the counties , personal interests are
likely to influence its execution , and at the
best a .systematic control can scarcely be
expected. The state must necessarily assume
the control of the work , and provide by leg
islative enactments the necessary means ,
to bo refunded by taxing the districts ben
efited by the improvement.
It has . .been suggested that prison work
might be employed in the Improvement of our
public roads. Where brick paving is to be
used and good clay can be found near the
penitentiary , it would certainly be advis
able to employ the prisoners inthe brick
yards , provided the distance which the
bricks have to be shipped is not so great.
Whether it would pay the state to purchase
its own machinery for this purpose Is a
question which can only be answered after
it is ascertained how long the work is to
be continued.
The division of the state into several
road districts is a matter which the legis
lature will be better able to decide later on
In accordance with public sentiment.
Sparsely settled localities will probably at
present not be able to expend larger sums
for road improvements , and west of the
100 meridian three districts one south and
two north , of the Platte would perhaps suf
fice. In the eastern part of the state the
districts would naturally have to be made
smaller. These matters are , however , of
less importance than the appointment of a
competent state supervisor with a good
staff of subordinates. Under his direction
the money and labor now wasted on almost
worthless patchwork might be employed to
better advantage for the people of this state.

Crot Cliantauqnn Note * .
Possibly that which appeals most strongly
to Chautauqua goers is the scholarllness of
tbe work o ffered this season. Three ot the
best men of Chicago
university will give a
portion of the regular extensive lecture
study courses , while anjong Nebraska
speakers the strongest men intellectually
have been chosen for special departments.
The variety and number of attractive
features which the program offers has never
been equalled In any Chautauqua assembly
In tbe state.
Besides the students who will be attracted
by tbe superior advantages In the way of
instructions , there will be a number of vis
itors ot varying tastes and motives , who
will find at Crete the entertainment , amuse
ment and recreation desired. There will be
the best of music , dramatic entertainments ,
humorous lectures , besides the special work
in oratory , choral training and physical
lectures , -and tbe work of the regular
normal classes.
All of the -cottages have already been en
gaged , and the manager * declare that twice
tbe number could be rented vlthout any dif
ficulty. Among tbe cottagers already booked
are : Mrs. Kingman and party of ten Chau-
tauquans from North Lincoln ; Mrs. Thomas
Sewell and ; party of young people , Mr. C. J.
Ernest and family , Mr * . H. W. Hardy. Mrs.
P. Calvert and party. Miss Ada Heaton and

One by T.the old lin.l mirki go
The second one of the brick churches erected
by the Methodists of this cltr U now being
leveled to tbe ground. Twrnty-flvc year *
ago the owners an8 the clty were proud of
It a costly and well built structure of that
day. The society which claimed ownership
of it was deeply in debt at its completion
and had made a blunder or two before that
point was reached.
As long ago as 18G7 these people had It in
mind to build a new bouse of worship. They
had abandoned their old one and transforms
It into a business block. The stores anc
offices were readily rented at high prices
They thought themselves able to carry n
heavy load of indebtedness because of the
Income from the rent of. three stores and
twelve office rooms. The too long interim
after vacating the old home tbe first church
built In Omaha and the occupying ot the
new one and the accruing expenses during
that Interval crippled then ' progress am
was damaging to their congregation.
The trustees , Forbes , Homan , Isaacs
Dehm , Hawver , Steel and McLaln , tssuet
bonds to tbe amount of $30,000 and put them
on the market. After some hesitancy they
were nearly all sold , committing the church
to the payment of tbe Interest at the rate
of 10 per cent , at the same time of main
taining services In hired rooms and support
ing a high-priced preacher.
The money derived from the sale bf bonds
was applied in paying a debt occasioned by
tbe remodeling of tne old church on Thir
teenth street and the construction of their
new and better planned temple. Bcglnnln ;
to tire of their pastor before the seconc
year of his service had far advanced , they
ridded themselves of him. His departure
took place just after the completion of the
new church , in the summer of 18C9.
But their much-coveted edifice had been
made ready for occupancy In the spring. It
accommodated all the gatherings preach
ing , class and prayer , as veil as sods'
meetings. The gospel was dispensed by some
mighty men In the next quarter of a century
from Us pulpit. In it was -witnessed many
amazing scenes ot the work of divine grace
and not a few date the beginning of a bet
ter life to impressions made upon them be
tween the walls of this humble place o
worship. The logical and scholarly De
Matyr , now In his grave ; Gue , the quiet anc
eloquent , now pastor at Portland , x Ore.-
Clark Wright , the popular and successful , at
this writing pastor of a great church In
Brooklyn. N. Y. , and the gifted and thrillIng -
Ing Hugh D. Fisher , at the present a Kan
sas pastor , ail rendered helpful service to
the people worshiping In the house now
being - torndown by the authority of the
federal government.
Nearly ten years had elapsed and the date
of the coming due of the bonds was closely
approaching , hard times , business dull , and
the church poorly provided with means to
redeem their property that had been mort
gaged to secure the bond holders. None
of the principal had been paid , and the In
terest had not been promptly metVand part
of the time payments were omitted. The
holders ot the bonds gave nptlce
that they must foreclose In order to prbtect
themselves. An agreement , however , be
tween the bondholders and the- trustees was
reached to the effect that the entirety of the
mortgaged property -would be remanded to
themselves without going Into court , on
condition that : the -use 01 the church and
parsonage might be ghen to a little later
date than the expiration of the time of the
falling due of the bonds , in 1877.
The church was vacated in a short time
and the Swedish church hired and used the
building for some time and till it was sold
to the First United Presbyterian church , by
which it was occupied till it was disposed
of to the federal government three years
ago as part of the site of the new post-
office. It is now in ruins and many an old
timer's eyes are turned upon the scene
presented today with -regret. Itwas re
garded for _ several years as a hallowed place ,
consecrated to the worship of the Divine
One. Now it is the property of the United
States and dedicated to business , or the
grounds may be laid out and ornamented as
a rear yard to tbe great building now being
reared on the block.
Tbe struggle of tbe Methodists to build
and furnish the church could be told by
N. P. Isaacs and O. W. Homan , If they were
living , and Hawver , Forbes , Burns , Steel
and ilcLaln. all of whom are yet living ,
nere solicitous that it might be a success
ful enterprise. The long list of communi
cants still in the city and Sunday school
children and youths who were often In Its
auditorium , are now having thoughts of by
gone experiences that cannot be repeated.
They only turn aside and think a good
bye to the old structure.

A difference has arisen between Bishop
Scannell and the trustees of St. Peter's
Catholic church over the manner of Incorpo
rating the new church. The trustees and
members of the new church are nearly
all Germans. They have bought the lot for
the church on Center street near Sixteenth
street at a cost of { 10,000 and are now
ready to Incorporate. They desire to incor
porate under the name of "Si. Peter's Ger
man Catholic church. " Bishop Scannell
has refused to allow the use of the word
"German" in the Incorporation. The trustees
feel that they are justified In asking this
Inasmuch as tbe same favor had been ex
tended to the. Polish people when they in
corporated their church as the Polish Catho
lic church. The matter Is creating much
feeling among the members of the proposed
church.
