GROWTH AND POPULATION OF NEW YORK.
The wonderful growth Of this city since
1856, the density Of it population at the
present time, and the enhanced value given
to its real estate, afford fruitful theme for
the political economist to ponder over. Since
1910, the increase of population in New York
has been equal to twenty-eight per cent.
every five years, and has somewhat more
than doubled its original once in every
twenty years. 1t is estimated that its present
population will number at least one and
quarter million of people, while Brooklyn
contains four hundred thousand, and Will
liamsburg about one hundred thousand souls
all told then comes Jersey City our neigh
Dor across the North river with its thriving
thousands, Hoboken close by and the large
towns and villages within a circuit OF ten
miles to be added to the number OF people
who daily transact business at this great
center To feed and house comfortably this
vast army of humanity snd keep employed
the large masses of idle people requires no
small amount of mental as we'll as physical
industry. Unless change soon takes place
for the better in the financial condition OF the
country, New York will soon be turned into
hot bed like London for the growth OF the
most AFFECT pauperlsm.
THE JEWS OF NEW YORK PERsECrTED BY
THE POLICE.
III ~, -, inc
out good cause of complaint against auto
crat kennedy, Chief Of Police, which may
vet result in the entire overthrow Of the
police despotism. 1t seems the latter issued
secret order directing his men in bucAram
to arrest all parties found masqueradlng on
the streets, Sunday night last, on the Jewish
Anniversary of Purim. Many persons and
even children who were visiting each others
houses in dominoes were captured and locked
up over night. A number Of ladies in their
private carriages were arrested BY the officers
and driven to the bastile. They belonged TO
some of our leading families. The charge
against them was too fimsy to hold good, so
they were discharged. In one instance
Hamlet the melancholy Dane, was caught
arm-in-arn with his fathers ghost. Neither
the Prince himself, or his daddy had violated
any law, for they only briefly appeared meath
the glimpses of the silvery moon at their own
easement on Fifth avenue, when q" shoot
ing star" in the form of policeman fell
upon and carried them off. An investigation
is asked for. The Purim bal masque which
was held Monday night following, at Pixies
Opera House was, thank goodness, left I'M
molested. Purim and Puritanism are by no
means synonymous terms.
There are seventy thousand people Of the
Jewish faith in this city, many Of them
among the most respectable and enterprlsing
in the community. King Kennedy seems TO
hate the Jewish race with all the fervor Of
those who used to praise God by burning,
hanging and torturing the chosen people
wherever they could be found.
