The Washington society women are again wrestling with the ail important question of precedence, tif course everybody concedes that the wife of the president is "the first lady of the land," but who shall be the second lady of the land is the thing that worries the grandes dames of the national capital. The question of precedence largely depends upon the relative importance of the officials in the government, and there's the rub. The wives of the souators, who insist upon not being ont.ranked by the wives of the members of the , -cabinet, have presented a solution of at least one phase c?f the vexed question which is so simple and practical that the wonder is that no one has thought of it befo-e. They propose that the presidential succession be taken out of the cabinet _ -and that three vice presidents be elected instead of one. It is thought that three vice presid<^rts would provide fomll acoiden^i^^t could Minna Mclc 'J'ZcT ?f *M guest of Miss Doinl who ,H * he ,n Wednesday's A < i UXi' aPP*ared I Juu~ina ?I?i tunlnirjr rear'--'"" are not to he ^ d'AKTAyjiy a little tiling like the 4RS$isiittition. If they can suggest ^9umo suitable occupation for the two extra vice presidents, the conwtitution ought not to stand in the flr The American Race. A recent bulletin of the census bureau touching the nativity and descent of the population of the United States furnishes an interesting theme for c?gnparison and comment. By this it is shown that in 1900 of every 1,000 inhabitants 1 8fi8 were born in this country and >. 187 elsewhere, so that less than one-seventh were foreign born, and 1 many of these came here in child- , liood. Both parents of G57 in eueh i 1,000 were natives of this country, a.nd of 848 one or both parents were l>orn abroad. In 2?0 cases both par ents were of foreign birth, in 45 the * father only and in 22 the only the 1 another. , Taking together those who ,vcre 1 liorn abroad and those whose ' parents were foreign horn, it is J found that 117 in 1,000 are of German extraction, 78 Irish, 8tf British, 82 Canadian, 27 Russian and Polish, i 10 Austro Hungarian Bohemian, lf>' ( ^ Italian, 14 Scandinavian and 7jl French ami Swiss.

Evidently Christian unity is making substantial progress in the world. Count Bom dk Castkllane is returned to the French chamber of ill miliosition to the Wal deck-Rousseau administration. His district is not only largely j)eoplod by his dependents, but it is located in the wine district, where there has boon great overproduction a id consequent depression in an indus try which the government has been unable to help. Besides, no doubt Count Boni was ablo to draw to some extent on the Gould barrel. J. Pif.rpont Morgan has Europe J pretty well frightened by his schemes of capitalization and control. There is perhaps some satisfaction in feeling that the apprehensions on the subject are not confined to this country.
