Probabilities OF Population.

There are going TO be some disap-
pointments in 1900, If the orators who
used to blow about the probability of
this country at that epoch survive to see
it. It is easy TO fall into the error of
supposing that the rapid ratio of increase
in new country is going to last forever.
The presumption is going the rounds, in
connection with the petition for q mint in
Chicago that, as the six States of Till
nois, Indiana, Kansas. Minnesota. Ne
braska and Wisconsin have now popu-
lation OF x, ,T00, 900, and have increased
at the rate Of "a per cent. In the last de.
cade, they viii therefore have a popula-
ton ct %, ,O00, 900 ia 1900. But IN the
hghtof the lessons Of the census and Of the
constantly decreasing ratio of growth, ws
should say that these States viii fee
very self-cong ngratulatory in 1900 if they
have population then as large as they
] had In 1870. SprisaQI9eld Republicans

The state OF Trade.

It is two years and four months since
the collapse of 1872 precipitated its
gathered effects on the country, and
there has been no marked progress made
in revival from those effects yet. The
event was called a panic, and it was be-
ieved by many that the country would
recover its old position as soon as the
pang had passed away that credit
would be restored; that new conf
dence would be diffused through the
avenues of trade that prices would
rise again that demand would be
strengthened that the colossal fabric
of debt which had been accommodating
for twelve years would be tided over, in
one way or another, and that the country
would enter anew on that career of
prosperity which had been marked by
dividends of 10, Is and 80 per cent. on
all sorts of well-managed Investments.
That these things have not taken place
that there has been no general restora-
ton of confidence and credit; no gen
eral rise in prices no speculative de-
mand for products no embarkation of
money In new enterprises, and no return
of what we took to be an era of pros
perity-is fact known to oil. The
shock of 1872 has passed, but the pros
tration which followed it continues.
What was supposedsto be passing panic
proves to have been general collapse !;
| and, though we have done something
| IN the way of recovering from it, the
| process appears slow to our impatient
| people, and they wonder when. the old
condition q things viii be restored.
It certainly would be pleasant thing
| to see Western farmers getting 81. .25 for
| wheat, so cents for corn, and SO, all
around, for tobacco to see new rail
roads being built; to see the iron fur
naces of Pennsylvania, Ohio and other
States reopened in full blast to see the
coal miners strikes ended, and the
4 strikers industriously and cheerfully al
work ut good wages to see the thou
sarsls of suffering male and female oper
atives in New England busy once more
amid humming spindles--and idlers IL
all parts of the country brought intS
active employment and IN due time W,
shall see all this. But there is q pre-
Iminary process TO be gone through be
] fore the picture is possible and tina
process we are now experiencing. Tn
collapse of 1872 was as inevitable re
i suit Of the turgid prosperity that pre-
, ceded it as debt-paying Is of going il
J debt. IF q universal going in deb
makes prosperity, the era that ended /
( the fall of 1879 was certainly prosper
t ous one-athe most strikingly prosperou
9 era, perhaps, that has ever been seen
8 this country. On the other hand If, q
/ unroinamtic economists declare, o tim
( of paying debts and squaring up ger
q orally is an era Of health, our conditio
b just now is one of SURPRISING salubrit,
J. One is the result of the other, and e

A dreary place would be this earth
We're there no little people in IT :;
The song Of life would lose Its n1rth,
Were there no children to begin II.
No little forms, no buds to grow,
And make the adn1iring heart surrender,
No little hands on breast and brow
To keep the thrilling love-cords tender
No babe within our arms to leap,
No little feet toward slumber tending;
No little knee in prayer to bend,
Our lips the sweet words lending.
The skerner sonls would get more stern,
Unfeeling natures more inhumanf
And man in stole coldnees turn.
And woman would be less than woman Z
For in the CLINE toward which we reach;
Through Times mysterious, dim unfoldnt
The little ones with cherub smile

D1cT1oNAn1Es.- victims Of the
lately prevalent photographed
mania will be Interested in the fol-
lowing announcement:
"The Librarian of Congress says
in a recent letter upon photography:
So far as the Library of Congress
is concerned, Webster has never
been followed in photography in
printing it's catalogues, reports or
other documents. On the contrary,
wherever proofs from the Con-
gressional printing Office embody
the innovations upon English

duced, they are invariably returned
with corrections restoring the es-
tablished spelling, as represented
by Worcester and the usage of all

IN our distinguished Judgment,
neither one of these dictionaries is
worth the paper on which it is
printed. They both present exam
pies and samples Of shoddy literary

pie have reason to be ashamed. It
is true both are very bull, and
contain o vast number OF words,
and illustrations to correspond,

the real radical meaning of a word.

as&en look into ali algebra as into
either one of. the unabridged edi-
tions. There are, moreover, n great
number of common words adopted
from other languages and in cur
rent acceptation and employment,
which cannot be found in either
dictionary named. The definitions
Of both Webster and Worcester
are also frequently unphilosophical
and to that extent inadequate and
incorrect. tits great pity that
this country has no association Of
schplars like the French Academy,
to undertake a great dictionary of
the English tongue, tracing out the
history and development of each
word, fixing its etemology and
giving it's authorized orthography.
It may fairly be doubted whether
any one man, however learned and
laborious, is competent for such
task. M;'Lttre prepared such q
