CENSUS ITEMS. United States
census, as far as. returned gives the
following as the population of the sew
eral cities: Troy, N. Y, it is estimated,
has population of 1881 against
39,292 in 1865, being an increase OF
1888 since 1865. New Haven, Conn,
according to the complete returns, has
population of 5O,S66 against 1928
in 1860, an increase Of 1889 in ten
years. Milwaukee, Wis.,, has in
creased from As, 1856 in 1860 to 6,274
in 1865, and to 1000 in 1870. De
troit, Mich, has increased from 49,
387 in 1860 20 So, 17O in 1864, to 6S,-
S27 in 1868, and 1862 in 1870.
The population Of San Francisco is
much less than was anticipated. A
short time ago it was stated that the
number of inhabitants would not
amount to more than $4,000, and a
more thorough examination and COM
plat on shows that the population will
fall short of $4,000. The population
of. Oakland, it was claimed, would
reach 10000, whereas, it appears that
the number of inhabitants in Alameda
county, where Oakland and other
towns are situated, will not reach 12,-
600. From this general falling off it
is believed that the population of Cali
fornia will only amount to 100000,
against 379.994 in 1860.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

France has established republican
form of government, and our country,
in common with several European
nations, has extended to it official re-
Any P ople seeking ito
maintain a republic have earnest claims
upon our sympathy but it cannot be
forgotten that French republics have
heretofore been very unsatisfactory
affairs, and have always resulted calan-
itously. A republican form Of govern
1nent is not necessarily the best form.
Being government by The people, un
less they are competent to discharge
the duties thereby imposed upon them,
it may become the very worst kind Of a
government possible. The central
idea Of a republic, practically consid
cred, is that tie minority should at all
times willingly acquiesce in the decis-
ion of the majority. Here is where
the French people have always failed !;
a general election has usually been
followed by revolution on the part of
the minority, and in most eases some
ambitious man has seized the opportu-
nifty to establish a dictatorship. There
may, however, have been a change in
France, SO that republic is now pos
sible, aud We sincerely hope that such
may be the case.
Some are inclined to suppose that
the prompt action of our government
in recognition of the new republic is
an unfriendly act towards Prussia.
This, however, is far from being the
case, and we have no idea that it will
be so regarded by the Prussian author
