There are indications of a growing tendency to put up the bars and hold the United States more closely as the heritage of the people already in possession. It is an incident of growth. Instead of having more spare land than we know what to do with, we are be ginning to touch the limits of our domain. Both great political par ties in the last presidential cam paign incorporated in their plat forms planks opposing the acquisi tion of large tracts of land by aliens. It has been suggested that the discussion of the Chinese question by congress this session be accompanied by an inquiry re garding the desirability of contin uing our present liberal policy to ward immigrants of all nations; with the hint that, although special objections are urged against the Chinese, some reason may be found for shutting out objectiona ble classes of other immigrants. Admission to this country isa favor to be sought by aliens, not a right to be demanded. We have thrown open our doors of our own free will to let them in. Hence forth we may more and more exer cise discretion about admitting immigrants. What shape that dis cretion may assume is yet in doubt. It is certain that more rig orous scrutiny will be observed re garding the character of immi grants and their power of self-sus-tenalion. Guarantees may be demanded of ability ol mainten ance for a required period. The criminals, the paupers, the ne'er-do-weels, the "sick, lame andiazy" may be weeded out. As popula tion increases and opportunities de crease, we shall demand the best material as a surety against the immigrant becoming a charge up on the community. As freedom of entrance into the country is curtailed, so admission to the privileges and advantages of citizenship will be better de fined. Alien landholding cannot long endure. For residents not citizens, but who propose perman ent settlement, some provision for the acquisition of real property, similar, perhaps, to the rights of denizenship under English law, will relieve them from any undue hardship. Beyond some such conditions as above indicated it is doubtful if any attempt will be made to re strict the immigration of Cauca sian races. So long as personally objectionable individuals of those races are barred out, the problem of over-immigratioUjWill constant ly tend to solve Itself. As our waste places begin to fill up, op portunities will become fewer and inducements less, resulting in the decline of immigration, until an approximate equilibrium is es tablished. New countries aie alo being opened to the overflow of European population, and by and by South America, Africa and Oceanica will take our place as the "refuge for the oppressed." -- i - CoitxrissioxEir Sparks has is sued a decision to the eff-ct that the Northern Pacific railroad com pany has no land grant between Portland and Tacoma. The pres ident of the company says he will appeal to the supreme court. The decision affects the odd numbered sections of land along the Colum bia river and from Kalama to the Sound, a distance of over 100 miles, aggregating nearly two and a half million acres of land. Eastern people are accustomed to think of an Indian reservation as being about the size of a lare farm, or, in exceptional instances, as large as an average township. But the Sioux reservation of south Dakota is as large as the states of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island put together. The Indians are the true landed aris tocracy of this country. As soon as a silver dollar is coined, says the Denver jVciv, it is put in a burglar proof vault and fastened in with a time lock. Then the coyotes of the national banks sit around and howl because that dollar doesn't "circulate." now can it circulate when it can't get out? NEW TO-DAY.
