SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 107, THE R-mGRATIOX TO EUROPE. - One of the most remarkable fea- tores of the present business contrac tion has been the rush abroad by steerage passengers on steamers sall- , lng for Europe. . It Is estimated that soma 60.000 salens have left New York eadtt week during a good many weeks past, and still the tide flows on undiminished. While this great outpour Is pertly due to annual home visits, the vast mass) of it must be ascribed to slack times, especially in the Pennsylvania smelting and coking region. People who came over here to make money find their money makfng opportunities much curtailed, and having no other reason for re maining, they now stream back home. Conditions thave simply heightened the long observed tendency among our. immigrants to depart with their savings, .particularly if those savings constitute what they regard as a com petency. America, with Its boundless and scarcely tapped resources and its life, even the social life of its men, organized along almost purely busi ness' lines. Is to the European of all classes extremely attractive for money making but for little else. Once he lias made his' pile, only a great and natural reluctance to let up can usu ally overcome the powerful tug he feels toward a land where, In 'his view, living Is vastly more worth while. Upon English-speaking Im migrant, -of course, the Irish fore most (or special reasons, this feeling has least hold, but even with them it is strong. One of its most obvious manifestations U the marked tenden cy o compatriot Immigrants .to col onize in large masses and reproduce as far as possible the life they left befolnd, though, to be sure, mere clannlshness and regard for particular customs, are largely responsible. Upon many, of course, the breeziness and . quasi-equallty of American llfo act powerfully and they become excel lent Americans, but Just now we are discussing the many not so affected. While anti-Semitic outbreaks of a . racial and religious nature in Russia and Rournanla send us streams of emigration from time to time, apart " (Tom these it his been generations since we have received any large number of immigrants from other than purely economic reasons. Euro peans come to u for the same gen- , eral reasons that our people aro no beginning to pour Into Canada. The prevailing lack of attention to pleas ure Xor its own sake In American America, a lack largely enforced through law by the Puritan, afflicts them heavily. They would far rath- . .... er live Jn Europe, ae indeed It seems ttat Innumerable Americans n" wouia. pne our money-making op . enlnga contract, they leave us In ; proves. ; :,vv'v While It Is not particularly encour- aging to feel that slack employment I )g sending ' people away from this country, there can be no doubt that the movement has thoroughly whole-. some features. Nothing could more effectively .iend. toward . re-adjusttog ', the balance between supply and de- man J In the American labor market. , U ehould further be borne in mind that this icsouBtry's unprecedented la- - por hanger during recent years must have drawn from Europe some emi gration which hardly expected to re- mala' long, o When Industry again gets , hummlngly under way the tide will - flow back quickly enough. Not a few - of these people are a good riddance anyhow, tot they are all but unas ' similable and more desirable as tem porary sojourners than as permanent acquisitions. . It U : rather -for the ' .-j whole lot to worry whether they will find good jobs awaiting them on their next trip. In the Pittsburg " district r both 'the independent aad Steel Cor poration employers are reported, as having decided to eliminate this mi gratory element" as far as possible, They ,have' grown Sired of ths alien who draws f 100 a month and spends not more than $20, hoarding the' rest to be -carted back later to Europe, r:.ere caa ii longer to any doubt," .:, ' : .l ,i ;t r--r-f'-i'' . .5 v ho 1. ive :'y v:'.l not return to they, do It will be - ( f t:.p lio:no re 't Tka, or it Am against some very good advice given t;iem by their former employers a leaving. In many cases they vere told and coldly that there would be na more work for them in. the coke field. That a certain amount of intelligence as well as brute strength, can be uti lized in even the drawing ot coke, front an oven is a decision reached by the coke men. They insist that a certain percentage of money paid in wages should be replaced In circula tion 'by" the wage-earner. This Is sound business and sound public pol icy In one. ......

Just a few years' ago The Observer Inaugurated a customnew. to the State of giving to Its readers, a short time before Christmaa,a holiday edi tion. The undertaking was entered Into at the outset with, some misgiv ings, but the innovation was so kind ly received that this paper has made bold to repeat the offense again and again and so, without, further expla nation or apology, we announce to morrow's (Sunday's paper as the regular ' Christmas edition. It will consist of sixty-four pages eight more Jhan last year issued In four sections of sixteen pages each, em bracing a special magazine section, two other sections, and the usual news -section. This, that subscribers may see to it that they receive the entire paper. Space and modesty forbid an elab orate enumeration of the contents, nor would we dull the whetted edge of anticipation. Suffice it to say, neitfher time, labor nor expense has been spared to pu forth what we be lieve to be the paper's most ambitious effort up to the pressnt time. It cer tainly has one merit the entire un dertaking has been planned and exe cuted in the paper's own establish ment and that Is a guarantee, at least, of originality and excluslveness. Further, the work has been consci entiously done by men who know how. The chief alms have been to provide a paper for the entertainment and Instruction of every member of the family circle for the younger folks as well as their elders. Some of the best-known writers of the State have aided In its making, and a number of North Carolinians who are winning name and fame abroad are numbered among Its contributors. All have glv en the best there Is in them. The field of research was broad and the harvest fruitful. We believe our readers will find the results worth while. The Observer knows full well and this Is written with a deep sene of obligation that this Christmas Issue will be received with the same warm spirit and charitable oversight of Its shortcomings that devoted friends ihave always accorded. If these friends derive as much pleasure from the pa per as The Observer experiences In offering it, then, Indeed, will the la bor not have been In vain. We don't take much stock In the notion that political conventions should always be held at central points, but Denver's distance of some 1,500 miles from the centre of popu lation is really a little formidable for a year when railroad passes lie under legal ban. Mrs. Alice has now had the honor of being the first person ever operat ed upon In the White House for ap pendicitis. We hope that this histori cal event will be commemorated by a painting or In some other suitable manner. When people of such assured so cial standing as Mrs. Alice have their appendices chopped out It would seem that the skeptics are left without any ground whatever to stand on. LINES TO MOTHER.

Mr. Cannon la a man of simple taste He does not care" to have frills on the national capltol, and whenever, he can use a plain, lowly cusBword Jn place of an embroidered bit of eloquence, he Is sure to do 80. His amusements are few. He loves to raise the tariff In the afternoon ind to raise the ante In the evening in a pleasant little semi-occasional game between friends. In the winter he fusses with the battleships and public buildings end In the summer he generally puts on his political overalls and tinkers around the Vermilion county Repub lican machine a little, putting in a new cogwheel here and there. : His life is regular and almost mo notonous. He is creature of habit Every other year he runs for Con gress, in the off-year he runs for Speaker of the House,,' Every four years he declines the Vice Presi dency. Every ten years he buys a new bank. Each fall he puts on new suit of black clothes and a hat with an extra rakish brim, adjusts his cigar at an overbearing angle and goes to Wash ington, where he runs the nation on the high teed all winter and listens to the pleas of Congressmen who want ; ; committees, i appropriations, bills, reforms, ; appointments and amusement ' . -' -t . On these occasions the applicant watches the Speaker's cigar feverish ly. If it remains pointed aloft all is well. If it shifts and points down ward, . like a Roman emperor's thumb, all is lost. . The favor can't be granted. : , ' , , One of the reasons ' why Cannon can refuse so muny favors and still retain so many friends 1 because he does not keep an applicant dangling. He tells him 'no. at once and there 'is no such thing as a, retrial or an appeal, u . During his thlrty-two years in Congress he bus watched the rise and fall of the volcanic leader, the vitriol ic leader, the pious, the oily, the shrewd, the pollthed and the unlet tered leader, He has understood them all, and has absorbed each man's way until now he uses tem peraments as an organist pulls out stops. He Is in turn Cannon the violent, threshing the atmosphere with huge, angular gestures and : bombarding the enemy with short, jagged words; Cannon the bland, peaceful and oleaginous; Cannon the correct frockcoated, grave and dignified: Cannon the rustic, redolent of the prairies and scornful of conventional ities; Cannon ,' the fearless, with bridges burned and pontoons conven iently hidden; Cannon the contem plative, quoting Scripture; Cannon the politician, frankly commercial. and1 Cannon the patriot, marching to the defence of his country's prosper ity with a blind faith in the Integrity of flguresv Just what the real Cannon is be neath the mob of politician Cannons is difficult to say. Even his friends are not sure they know. Perhaps it would not be a bad guess to think of a man a little weary, a little old, a little lonelyf not fond of ibook learning nor particu larly of people, but with a passion for history and the romance of na tion building; a trifle cynical regard ing reforms and reformers and the millennium; believing absolutely in two things a deity and the Republi can party; not particularly full of faith In men and impatient of any attempt to change the old ways of getting there. Warm hearted with common peo ple,' but ' cold blooded in politics, knowing the game from its first prin ciples. A grand old man of yester day and a pretty good young man of to-day, us young men go.

The gray-haired father as h has been reading the newspapers day af ter day has been impressed with the fact that an unusually large number of sons of good, families have been going -wrong. A bright idea came Into his head the otner day. Since that time until within four or five duys ago he has been clipping ac counts of theae misdoings out and placing them each morning beside the plate of his son at the breakfast table. Then a bright idea came into the heivl of the young man. He found rood material In the dally papers of the misdoings of elderly men, fathers of families.

The Chariots Observer, noting that a judgment, for 18,000 has been awarded to the widow of a murdered man in Kentucky, against Judge James Hargls, the feudist who killed him, aekf why It should not become custom ary every where for a murdered man's widow or next of kin to bring suit against the murderer when his fi nances offer opportunity for payment of money damage. It would often strike a good mark, because there Is a class of men In this, country wno are so Influential and ' wealthy that they escape punishment for murder when' a poorer man or one ieas strongly entrenched in the Influences of the powers-that-be, would be hang ed by the neck.

Boston Transcript. A Cleveland street car conductor, who Is also a student of men and manners, believes that an Increasing number of passengers prefer to- ride on the open platforms, even when there are plenty of seats Inside. He Infers thwt what they want Is fresh air; but while he Is willing to be ac commodating, there is a limit to the capacity of the platforms, and the custom still grows. Under the best of conditions the ventilation of a street car is a difficult business. If the car Is cool enough for the man in furs Vt freezes the underclad. The remedy suggested by the Cleveland conductor Is an open compartment to each car.
