BarAiiii.ritji matter May 11,'lMV, at the poet olllce at Boeebura, Oregon, under the Act of March 1. m Koavburic, Ore., December 8, lao AMERICAN'S IX AMKRICA. Reveral European writers who re cently visited thla country have taken baclc to tneir native wuue belief tliut there 1b no longer an "American" people. One of them. writing In the London National ne vlew, says lo bla fellow-Englishmen: "You must dispossess your mind of the Idea that there la an Ameri can people at all, an we understand people in Europe. To be a 'people" la the doiiiinaut ideal of the Ameri cana, an Ideal which they claim . . . n havfl rea lized. knowing all the while that they have done nothing of the sort, and that their only hope of realizing anything of the kind la to Btop immigration, do away with their preaent obcIhI system, anu men wait Jive centuries for evenlH to develop." Many Americana, particularly In the citlea where the Immigrants chiefly aeille, hold similar views. II Ib commonly accepted aa true that "foreign elements" put Into the melting pot have Just about obliter ated or over balanced the origins' American Block, which " Hrltlsh. A study of ceiiBiis statistics and re ports, however, presents a surprls lug and encouraging refutation of this attitude. William 8. Kosslter, for several years chief clerk of the census, reports that of the 95,000, 000 white people In this country, 65.000,000 are "AmericanB." He In cludes under that name the descend ants of the 4,000,000 who were re corded In the Brat census of 1790. the descendants of the people or Oreat Ilrltaln who have immigrated since, and the descendant of the 3,000,000 Immigrants chiefly IrlBh and German who came before 1850. Mr. Itossiter estimates that of the total population In 1860 only 3,000, 000 were Immigrants or the children of immigrants, while 16,600.000 were the descendants of Americans who had fought the Revolutionary war, the majority of whom were of British stock. Furthermore, the Immigration authoritiea report thai the second largest racial element coming through Kllis Island now Ik llritinh. It Is only Just to add thai of the 40,000.000 whose Amerl canlsm is less than 70 years old, thi majority are InduHlrlous, Intelligent, ambitious, energetic and loyal. Thf "dregs" of other nations are. so fai at least, a- very smnll fraction of out population. " HAKK ROAIM.
