A CAREFUL calculation is made in
the New York Sun of the probable
result of the census of 1850, and the
conclusion is reached that the nation
will then have a population of about
AZ, 900, 600. This will be an aver
ege increase the country over of
about 2l per cent. for ten years.
This is deemed too large by the
Cincinnati Times, which thinks the
next census will show only 10000
ONO.

Oh! FOR KANSAS.
Philadelphia Woskingmsn Organizing to Squat
in the Land Of the Grasshspper.

In Memorial Hall, Ninth Girard Az

meeting of workingmen in the inter-
est of colonization was held. A glance
over the audience showed its charac-
ter to be intelligent and respectable.
John Pmkerton president. The first
business considered was the report of
| the executive committee, in which
Kansas was recommended as the spot
| for the Association to select for emf
grafton. The report proceeded, viz !:
that the permanent Association be
baptized "The Fraiernal Land and
and Home Association of the United
States" Up to date three hundred
families have applied to be enrolled
among the aspirants who desire to
shake the dust of Philadelphia from
their feet. In few days circular
will be issued defining the plan of the
Association as follows: The latter will
secure deed for forty acres or mere
of land to any person who will pay five
dollars per acre. and will agree to al
low the Association to improve it for
the term Of four years, at the end of
which the deed will be returned on re-
ceipt of five dollars per acre and six
per cent. interest.
The Association viii also agree to
cultivate any number of acres for any
person who will purchase land in the
vicinity of the colony, provided the
buyer furnishes seeds and implements
and takes one-half the crops as pay
ment. At the end of six years, if the
purchaser desiies the Association will
agree to take the land back at what it
cost, and six per cent. interest. Ii is
also proposed to start herds of sheep,
cattle and hogs, TO be held intact for
five years, aud to be cared for aud fed
by the colony on shares, the latter be-
ing held at $40 per share. The herds,
however, will not be started until
three hundred shares are subscribed
for. The report and plan were adopt
ed. One member believed that $4,000 |
people in Philadelphia are ready to |
rush at once to the potato bugs and |
Colorado beetles that ipfest Kansas. !
John Pinkerton was elected perma-
ncnt chairman, Ed NJ. Smith, secreta- |
ry, aud n. g. Thompson, Treasurer. I
After some speech making the meet
ing adjourned.

Tho New Minister.

The New York papers do not en-
thuse greatly over the appointment OF
John Welsh as Minister to England.
The Herald says the President "has
nominated a man, of whom the main
thing TO be said is that he is not ST.
mon Cameron"
The Graphic says: "The nomina.
ton of Mr. Welsh, while eminently
respectable, is not likely TO add to the
popularity or the weight of the Ad-
mmistration in Congress or out of it"
The Tribune says: "The effort OF
the Administration to escape from the
Pennsylvania perplexity by nominal
ing for the English Mission Mr.. John
Welsh. the real head of the Centennial
Exhibition, is adroit, but il cannot be
considered an entirely happy deliver
ance. Mr.. Welsh is a gentleman of
the highest personal standing. If the
Office is purely ornamental, and the
only object in filing it is TO have some
person there of fair ability, whose pri-
vate character will not bring disgrace
upon the country, then the appoint
ment of Mr.. Welsh is perfectly safe.
But if the place, long filled by sue
cession OF our most eminent states
men, still requires, for the proper dis
charge of its duties, conspicuous IA
miliarity with public affairs, there
will be many to question Mr.. Welsh's
qualifications"
The World and Times mildly APP
prove of the nomination.

idea of how great that affection was !:

in the frequent habit OF doing, late
one evening at Mr. Summers house,
aud found him much depressed and in
tears. endeavored to rally him, but
he alluded to certain troubles, which

relations in those regards with, as he
said. more happy ones, aud expressed
the wish that some morning he might
be found dead in his bed"

A Horrible Affair.

Chicago, November 3.-A Times
Sparta (Wis.) special says news has
Just been received from Wilton of a
Thursday night. Mrs. William Van
Voorhees,, young woman with three
Young children and about to become
a mother again, had, after living un-
happily with her husband in their
home on the outskirt of the village,
been deserted and left desolate and
respondent. She frequently spoke Of
suicide to her neighbors, and was pre-
vented from purchasing poison. by
her neighbors. Thursday night, about
9 O'Clock, her dwelling was discov-
cred in flames; and when the neigh
bors reached the house and burst in
the doors, they proceeded to the bed
room, when q sickening spectacle
greeted their eyes. The mother was
nearly naked, face down i'll the bed,
with the two youngest children i'll the
same position by her side. The hair,
scalp, and portion of tee arms were
burned off from each, and the blazing
rafters from above were falling down
upon them. The body of the oldest
boy, aged ten, was found behind the
bed room door, burned to crisp.
Blood was found spattered en the bed
clothes and upon the mothers gar
ments. Appearances indicate that the
woman poisoned herself and children
and thaa lite was extinct before the
flames reached them. No mark of vi
olence could be discovered on {
bodies. The matter is being inves
gated.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
AN UNDERSTANDING ARRIVED AT Be
TWEEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS.
Democrats and Independent Republicans Viii
Sustain the President,

WAsHINGLoN, November From
information derived from the most
authoritative sources it can be stated
that the majority Of the Republican
Senators have substantially agreed
upon the programme outlined below
with respect to the Presidents nomi
nations; There will be no issue made
over any appointments to fill vacan
cies except where there may be charges
against the personal or public charac-
ter of the appointees which seem TO
make investigation necessary. Charges
preferred will be investigated as is
the custom, and generally Republicans
will be preferred to Democrats. The
first opposition is likely to occur in
cases OF appointments which follow
suspensions from office, with respect
to which cases the Republican Sen
ator5, placing themselves upon the
Cincinnati platform and the letter of
acceptance, will insist that there shall
be no removal except for cause. hey
will seek to justify their opposition
before the country by the assumption
that it is based upon the strictest civil
service principles. The old custom of
upon to defeat combinations in spe-
cific instances. The general principles
above indicated is to be established.
This principle is to be extended to all
offices, however insignificant, in order
that the Senator's can better maintai
themselves in their positions. Ac-
cordingly it is expected that even in
cases where nominations ofpetty post
masters have already been favorably
reported they will be takei. from the
calendar and recommitted until it is
ascertained whether the persons sus-
pended have actually been removed
for cause. But it is by no means GER
tain that if the msjority of the Repub-
ican Senator'S do adhere to this plan,
as is now predicted they will do, that
they will be successful in defeating
the nominations. There are several
Independent Republican Senators who
have indicated an unwilljngness TO
enter this scheme, aud its possible for
those working wish the Democrats 10
urfca, II. Tho pelicv of the Democrat
ic Senators is to be active IN support
of all nominations except where they
are known to be positively bad. The
Democrats have already indicated
their position in the matter of the
confirmation OF Moves to France a.d
Stoughton to Russia. The Democratic
were opposed to those appointments
in themselves, but they voted to con-
firm them out of regard for the Presi-
dent. This, it is confidently believed,
is the situation of both parties in the

howled for '.Tilden and Reform" but
it appears TO think that the prospects
OF any reform through the Democratic
party are exceedingly slim. Speaking
of the Democratic House Of Repre-
sentaiives, it says:
Never in all history have vehement
professions of reformatory purposes
been shown to be more false and
pharisaicai than in this wretched out
come of the election of the controlling
section OF Congress under the "Demo-
cratic" label. The fruits of the great
''reform is necessary" movement, in
augursted at ST. Louis, are Sam Ran

apostles of corruption in the interest

Tne Coming Winter.

Astronomer Royal Smyth, of the
Royal Observatory, Scotland. says
that the coming winter is going to b,
exceedingly cold. From the observa
tons of earth thermometers over s
period of thirty-nine years, he finds
that between 1887 and 1876 three grear
heat waves from without struck Great
Britain; namely, the first III 1916 IS, tn,
second in 1850, aud the third il
1867. The next one will probabl,
come in 1898, within limits of half
year each way. The periods of mini
mum temperature, or greatest cold
are not in the middle time between
the crests of these three heat waves,
but are comparatively close up Il
them, on each side, at distance o.
about year and half. Hence the
next cold wave is due at the end o
the present year, and very frigic
weather may be looked for.

John W elsh.

The appointment of John Welsh as
Minister to Euglad is unanimously
and heartily commended by all of the
newspapers OF Philadelphia. The
Philadelphia Press says;
Mr.. Welsh is singularly equipped
for the place. Large wealth, cultivat-
ed manners, man of society without
being diletante; a quiet, off hand
speaker, very good writer, all earn
est Republican, in his politics, eitic
who inquiries into all the details of
municipal, State and general politics
he seems to be precisely the character
to capture such a President as Ruth
erford B. Hayes; and, indeed, we
think he has exactly the capacities
for these times. Men like John Welsh
are rarely heard of now days.
