The GROWTH OF OUR CITIES, OLD AND NEW.
boston was trying to grow nearly one
hundred years, before she attained popu-
lation of ten thousand.
Albany was two hundred V ears.
New York was one hundred and thirty
years.
Philadelphia, settled sixty or seventy
wears later, grew much faster than the old
er cities, and arrived at the dignity of ten
thousand in much less time that is, in about
fifty years.
New Orleans was about one hundredyear
old before she had that number
During the first hundred years after the
settlement of Boston Q63O,) she was the
largest city of the colonies.
New York became as populous as Boston
iust before the Revolutionary war.
Philadelphia had taken the lead of both
her older sisters many years before the war.
About 1911 New York became as popu-
lous as Philadelphia, each containing one
hundred thousand inhabitants.
Baltimore overlook Boston about the
year 1900.
The principal new cities grew to the num-
Der of ten thousand nearly as follows:
Pittsburgh in 50 years; Louisville in so
years; Cincinnati 90 years; Cleveland 40
gears; New Albany 50 years; Chicago II
years; Milwaukee 10 years.
The above named cities attained to 40
600 in the number of years from their birth
as follows:
Boston 1861 Albany 200; New York $50
Philadelphia so; New Orleans ll2; Balti-
more so; Cleveland As; Detroit so Chica.
90 l6, and Milwaukee II years.
If any one will compare the early with
the late growth Of our cities, he will be
struck with the extraordinary disparity in
favor of their recent growth, not in the &C.
tual augmentation, merely, in their proper
tionate more rapid growth as they attain a
larger size of the per cent, increasing from
decade to decade. In community of high
civilization, less than half are now needed
for the cultivation of the ground, and more
than half find cities and large towns the
best theatre for their industry and enjoy
ment. In our country, westand north west
of the Atlantic slope. including the Canadas,
not over one in fifteen live in cities and
towns, the other fourteen fteenths being
engaged in opening new farms or growing
crops. This state Of things is anomalous,
| and cannot long continue. Our cities will
| receive, before long, the whole augmenta-
ton, and considerable number from the
thinning ranks Of agriculture
1t is as certain as any future event de-
pendent on human exertion can be, that the
next ten years will exhibit a more rapid
| city growth. and especially in our great in
| terror plain, than has ever before been wit.

The Lynching Case in Iowa City.

A resort to the Code of Judge
Lynch for the punishment of crime is
becoming too frequent in this State.
While the outrages in Jackson, Gin
ton and Cedar counties, arc vet fresh in
our re collection, news reaches us of
the murder of a maa by body Of reg
ulators, almost within gun shot Of the
late Capitol of the State of Iowa, on sus-
picion Of having burned a barn. Cases
of the commission of some outrasoues
and unnatural crime, for which the
laws provided no remedy, might pos
sibly arise, in which the guilt Of the
people in taking the law into their
own hands, might be palliated /; but
never justified. Those cases are how.
ever rare, and happen once only, in &
life time. For the outrage committed
in Iowa City on Monday, no excuse
can be given and no palliating circum
stance urged. Boyd wilkinson
however bad his character might be

1t is true that he was q man whose
