why Don't Douglas Resign His Scat
in the Senate.

That Mr.. Douglas does not resign is
giving abolition and disunion organs a
deal VI trouble. They deem it outrageous
that he should hold a seat in the Senate.

is in the same position. Brecknriige
and Lane make no signs of resignation
Of their Senatorial seats, but we suppose
they arc to be excused, from the fact
that they have no chance of election, and
Douglas has; but these organs should
remember that Gen. Taylor did not re-
sign his post in the army until he was
chosen President, nor did Gen. Scott
resign his army commission at all. Toe
allied organs need not be miserable in
regard to Doug as. He will resign his
seat next November, after the people
have decided that he shall take a high
er position, and when the Democracy
OF i,no's shall have chosen Legislature

Formulation in the United States,

a writer in the Boston Trdreiler remarks that
the entire population of England and the
United States is less than that of a single Chi.
nese province. The Chinese census of 1sie
gives the total population as Ala, 6s3 1914. The
Philadelphia North American asks "Will the
United States ever have as many inhabitants
We have no doubt of it," And it then quotes
some calculations from the Trarsllsr, which
sus tains its views.
Our able Philadelphia contemporary ap-
pears delighted with the prospect. For our
own part, we can only thank Heaven that we
shall never live to see it. We never could see
the value or the charm of a dense population
Who would wish to see multitudes reduced to
such want and degradation as myriads in
China, living on garbage that any decent ami
NAL might bs expected to reject, or even as
millions in Europe, who never know, on going
to sleep, where they shall obtain a reakfas t,
nor, on rising in the morning, where they shall
lodge that night, or even in the large cities OF
our own country, where numbers are support
ed by public and private charities, or take to
beggary, robbery, and every description OF
crime, for subsistence. No, we have people
enough already more than enough to exist in
comfort by ordinary industry. Let every
thing else increase, except humanity except
more mouths to feed; more hands to snatch
the food from mouths which have less than
enough already; more hearts to embitter and
to be embittered in that fierce competition for
daily bread which wears SO many out before
their time, and makes the grave into which
they sink rs welcome as peaceful haven to a
sea-tossed mariner.

Baron Bothschild, King of Judah.

The latest sensation item of the European
intelligence is that LOUIS NAPOLEON has Sc.
-rious thoughts of making his excellent friend
Baron RoTHsoHrLD, King of Judah, in Jeru.
salem. Whether the Syrian expedition is to
assist in that consummation, is not distinctly
stated.
Considering the extraordinary taciturnity
of LOUIS NAPOLEON, the facility with which
the London press and correspondents divine
his secret purposes reflects infinite credit on
their sagacity and enterprise. 1t is possible,
however, that this announcement may be pre-
mature Baron RoTHsCHILD is already the
King of Europe, master even of Louis Ma
PoLEoN, and welding power with his golden
sceptre almost equal to that of King SOLOMON.
There is notwithstanding,a strong disposition
at this time among the Jews In Europe 10

probable overthrow of the Moslem power, the
time may be at hand when the chosen people
will be res tored TO the Holy Land.
