There are many conlectures afloat as to the
population Of the United States In 1880. The
aggregate In 1870 was IS, $4,000. All things
considered 1t will probably not be less than
100000 next year. which will give us the
largest number Of people under one govern
ment, speaking q common language. This
estimate In based upon an anticipated in
. crease of 25 per cent, the smallest OF any
decade, except the last, when the war greatly
retarded the natural growth of the country
and almost checked immigration. From 1870
TO 1900 the increase was 30 per cent; from 1900
to 1910, 36ia per cent; from 1910 to $780, So per
cent; from 1890 to 1880, 1874 per cent; from
1880 to 1910, 32ss per cent; from 1910 to 1850,
nearly SO per cent; from 1850 to 1860 35% per
cent; from 1860 to 1870, 22Ls per cent. The
aggregate in 1880 will probably exceed rather
than fall below the estimate, as the tide OF
European emigration Is again flowing to our
shores and all the conditions for large
natural increase besides have been fulfilled.

Cyrus Field has purchased the land on
which the English spy, John Andre. was
captured during the revolutionary war, and
has determined, In accordance with promise
made by him to Dean Stanley some time ago
to erect thereon handsome monument to
Andres memory. This plan, when first
preached by Field, raised storm Of indig-
nant patriotic protests In New York, and q
society was organized there pledged to tear
down this stone to Andre, II it was ever
erected. 1t remains to be seen whether these
patriots will carry out their intentions.
When the Allies entered Paris, Butcher. 1t is
said, placed number of barrels of powder
sunder the bridge that Napoleon had named
Jena, after his great victory over the Prus-
slams, with the patriotic intention Of blowing
1t up, but was finally dissuaded from this
course by the English. The patriotism of
these iconoclastic Americans is feeble imita-
ton of Blucher's.

The New York Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children has undoubtedly done
an immense amount OF good In that city. Ii
has lately, however, brought some ridieule
upop itself by It's fight with the theatres. In
the reproduction of the "Black Crook Ut
Nblo's. some weeks ago. number OF chill
dren appeared on the stage. 1t does not ap-
pear that these children have any arduoas
work to do. They had simply to stand on the
stage and now and then bow to the audience.
But the society conceived the idea that any
appearance Of children on the stage was In
itself wrong, improper and unhealthy, ana
accordingly brought the lessees of Niblo's
Into court on the charge Of cruelty to chill
dren.
The New York Star suggests that instead
Of troubling itself over petty warfare like
this, the society should Investigate the condi-
ton Of the children working In the factories OF
New York. There are no less than $4,000
children, under fifteen years OF age, thus en-
ployed In the city, many Of them at the most
arduous kinds Of work. The principal indus
tries In which children are engaged are the
envelope manufactures. the gold-laRf facto-
ries, paper collar manufactures, twtne faeto-
lies. artificial flowers and the tobacco facto-
ries. In the latter industry there are no less
than 10000 children employed, many oil them
under five years Of age Indeed, q four year
old boy can easily make 81 a week there.
| Many of these factories are in cellars under
the ground, unhealthy and Injurious The
twipe manufactures are another Industry
where children should not be employed, the
work being dangerous and many OF the en-
ployees lose fingers and thumbs in 1t. Float-
ing particles OF flax and cotton load the air, and
| to breathe such an atmosphere from day to day
is certainly Injurious. Objection Is also made
against the gold-leaf manufactures that, Ii
consequence OF the fragile nature of the gold
leaf. 1t Ia absolutely necessary to exclude al
draughts and fresh air from the building, &c
that the children are kept working all day
long In an atmosphere that is never renewed
or purified.
The Star calls the attention OF the s. P G. g
to these facts, and also to q law passed, soIns
time ago, by the Legislature OF New York
which forblds the employment Of children TN
der Is years Of age In factories for more thar
sixty hours week, and the employment o
children under 10 years Of age at all. 1t call
upon the society to cease its senseless SQUAD

It has been question for some time from
which party do most OF the Nationalist
come. By Q carefully prepared table OF the
vote In Ohio the Cincinnati Enquirer finds
that the Nationals In 1878 cast 23,O49 votes In
Republican counties and 1920 votes In Dem
ocratic counties. This gives the ratio OF re-
cruits from the two older parties In a reason
ably reliable shape and shows that two out
OF every three Nationals were formerly Re-

THE sacbems of the Republican party
of the State met at Columbus last week
on Thursday, with their State Central
Committee, to counsel together and start
things for next falls campaign. Their
State convention is to be held on the
2Sh b of May, in Cincinnsti. There was
large attendance, and the "stalwarts"
especially were on hand. Taft of Gin.

ONE result of the Chinese agitation is
likely to be the development of inquiry
into their treatment in Eastern, as we'll
as Pacific coast cities. A very intelli-
gent, well educated Christian Chinese, in
New York, states through the public

class of Chiuese here, were they proper.

edge of sixty Chinese In New York, all
of whom would gladly attend the night
schools, could they be protected from
ridicule and insult. He further says that
reputable Chinese women would come
to this country, but are afraid of bad
treatment In brief, we might have a
different class of Chinese here, who
would make thrifty, intelligent citizens,
did we properly treat them Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette.
Under our laws, these Chinese, even if
they did make thrifty, intelligent citi-
zens," could not naturalize and become
citizens. The gprotection" papers, like
the Gazette, are strong for the Chinese
labor element to swarm to this country.
We hope lone result of the Chinese

understanding of such papers as the Ga
