London.

From the computations of authorities,
it appears that London with all its
subul bs) covers within the 10 miles
radius of Charing Cross nearly 700 square
miles. 1t numbers within these boundaries
over 100000, inhabitants. 1t contains
more country born persons than the coun-
ties of Devon and Gloucester com bined,
or 81 per cent. IF its entire population.
Every four minutes birth takes place
in the metropolis, and every six minutes
death. Within the circle already named
there are added to the population 205
persons every day, and 10000 annually.
London has 1000 miles of streets, and on
an average % miles of new streets are
opened and 1900 new houses built, every
year. One thousand vessels and nine
thousand sailors are in its port every day.
Its crime is also in proportion to its ex-
tent. Seventy three thousand persons
are annually taken into custody by the
Police, and more than one third OF all the
crime in the country is committed within
its borders. Thirty-eight thousand persons
are annually committed for drunkenness
by its magistrates. The metropolis com
prises considerably upward OF 100000
foreigners from every quarter OF the glooe.
It contains more Roman Catholics than
Rome itself, more Jews than the whole of
Palestine, more Irish than Belfast
more Scotchmen than Aberdeen, and
more Welshmen than Cardiff. Its beer
shops and gin palaces are so numerous
that their frontages. If placed side by side,
would stretch from Charing Cross to
Chichester, q distance of 81 miles. Ii all
the dwellings in London could thus have
frontages placed side by side they would
extend beyound the City of New York.
London has sufficient paupers % occupy
every house in Brighton. The society
which advocates the cessation of Sunday
labor will be astonished to learn that go
miles of shops are open every Sunday.
With regard H. churches and chaples, the
Bishop of London, examined before a
committee of the House of Lords in the
year 1910, said IF you proceed mile or
two eastward of St Paufs, you Will find
yourself in the midst of population the
most wretehed and destitute OF mankind,
consisting of artificers, laborers, beggars
and thieves, to the amount OF 100000 or
100000 souls. Throughout this entire
quarter there is not more than one church |
for every 10000 inhabitants: and in two
districts there is but one church for 45,- |
600 souls" In 1889, Lord John Russell |
stated, in Parliament. that London with |
"a parishes and population of / 100000,
had church accommodations Tor only l0l,- |
600. These and other statistics turul heo |
led TO the "AIetropolls Churches Fund,
established in 1886, which has been fol- |
lowed by the Bishop of London's Fund.
1t is still computed, however, that at least |
1,0O0 new churches aud chaplss are re-
quired in the metropolis.-Thf Cornht1

The Potter Committee Minority Report

The Potter Committee Minority Report
March 3D., the minority of the Potter
cofumittee consisting Of Hiscock, Cox, (of
Ohio and Reed, presented their report. They
dissent from the views presented in the report
OF the majority both as to their pertinence and
conclusions but testify to the personal
courtesy and generally fair rulings of the
chairman in taking testimony. The report
alleges that the examination was one-sided
PARTISAN affair THAT it was limited to the acts
OF one political party in only two of the States
louisiana and Florida where fraudulent
practices were charged, the investigation was
unnecessary and without provlcation So far
as ndiyidnas named were aimed at The
conduct of the visiting statesmen at New
Orleans is considered and that of Sher-
man, GARFIELD, Halle, Kelly ,land others whom
il was saught to impeach was declared con-
sistont and frank. Anderson is characterized
a. man totally unworthy of notice.
The charges of fraud and corruption with
which Mr.. Tilden, and his agents filed the air
wes@ nothing more than unsupported asser-
tons. There is no evidence to show that the
South Carolina returning board could be
bought Marbles statement amounts!to this
"a man told him, that man told him, that
thsrd man told him, that a canyassing board
could be bought" and this is all the evidence
he vouchsafed. The report alludes at length,
the cipher dispatches, and AYERS the imposs-
bility of their being carried on without the
knowledge OF Mr.. TIldeu Precisely hat the
arrangement was by which Mr.. TIlden was
kept posted, asst the doings of his agents and
yet he left in a condition to make a general
denial, the committee will probably never
know. The report denies the charge of any
alleged bargain TO seat Hayes. Denies the
existence Of any fraud or bribery on the part
OF Republicans, and claims the full, fair and
honest election of Mr.. Hayes
