SHORT SPEECHBs.-Lieut. Gov. Jackson, in
his remarks to the members of the Virginia
Senate, upon the adjournment OF that body
said:
'All who have witnessed your proceeding
must have observed the fact, that while efforts
of high order have been made upon question:
Of great Importance, rarely did any speech oe
cupy in its delivery more than thirty minutes
and yet. within that time, with tersness and Wig
or, the strongest points of the questions under
consideration were presented. This Is high
evidence of the comprehensive ability OF the
speakers, and the intelligence Of these address
ed, and, If | may be allowed to add, the exam
pie is worthy to be followed by all deliberative
bodies"
In the Legislature Of California it is general
ly thought that speech is not entitled to the
name unless it takes several hours in its dellv-
cry. 1t is said that Gen. Washington, Thomas
Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin seldom in leg
islative assemblies, spoke longer than ten min
utes. James Madison, although one of the lead
ing debaters in the convention which framed
the constitution of the United States, was a
maker of short speeches. Like the great Wesley
in preaching, he seldom spoke longer than thlr-
ty minutes. These great men thought it was
wise to stop talking when they had got through
In these latter days, however, a mans ability il
usually measured by the length of his speeches

Progress OF the North-xcst.

The Cincinnati Gazette devotes an elaborate
article upon this subject, few Of the facts and
figures Of which we proceed to condense. The
Northwest formerly included only the i've
States carved from the territory Included in
the Ordinance of 1887. But this is and should
be now extended by the States and Territories
in the same latitude, and inhabited by the same
kind of people beyond the Mississippi. At this
time il includes also, Iowa, Minnesota and Ne
braska-siX States and two Territories. The
last United States census was taken in 1850,
but we have the census of Iowa, Illinois, Wis
consin and Michigan for 1856, that of Mime
sofa for 1857, and data for reasonable estl-
mate of population in Ohio and Indiana.
We give then the growth of population in the
Northwest from 1900 to 1857, thus:
In 1900 5o,24O In 184O 1861 $50
1920 992,7l9 1857 7,200,0
1880 1.460,2lS
This shows that one-third the entire white
population of the United States, in the year
1857, was in the Northwestern States, aHd that
four-fifths of this population came here within
thirty years, or the average limit of one gen
Grafton. Let as now compare the growth of
the Northwest, since 1920, with the growth of
New EHgland and New York on one side, and
the original Southern States on the other, and
let us see how they are likely to stand at the
end Of another generation:
1920. 1857.
N. England d N. York, 1852, ,62O 100000
The Original South, 3,02S,037 5.OSO,00o
The Northwest, 792769 100000
These figures speak louder than all the boasts
of local patriotism or the rhOdomentade of pol
iticiaus In the last thirty-seven years the old
South has increased 67 per cent, and the North
west 800 per cent. But it may be said that the
comparison should have been made as to the
South, with the new States of the Southwest,
where immense territories and fertile soil give
them fair field for rapid growth. Well, let
| us make that comparison.
These States are Alabama, Mississippi, Loui-
sana, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri
and Arkansas; about the same number of States
with the other sections, but much greater
extent of territory and much larger rivers
The comparison stands thus:
Southwest in 1920. ............ 1,424, ,G65
southwest IN 1891 5I............. o,J4I ,OUU
| Increase. e..................3l 3l5 per cent.
We see, then. that with this much greater
territory, mlder climate and greater rivers
the Southwest has not increased at one-half the
rate of the Northwest.
In one word, we see the growth of the North.
west increase at o more rapid ratio than any
part of the Union; or, We imagine, than any
portion OF the globe.
