perity.


Iron the New York Tribune.
Enough 10 already, known of the commerce
and industry of 1880 to assure rs that it has
no rival among all the years Of our past his
tory as . nation. larger crop Of wheat
than ever before has been harvested. and
partly delivered to consumers. The crop Of
other grains, and of cotton, will also prove
extraordinarily large. The production OF
iron during the year 1880 has doubtless been
larger than that Of any previous year. and
the results of that great manufacture in all
its branches have been on the whole most
satisfactory TO many capitalists and TO thou
sands Of workers. The manufacture Of tex
tile fabrics has made great progress during
the past year, notwithstanding some periods
of embarrassment on account OF the condl-
ton OF markets for materials or products. 1t
will probably be found that more yards Of
cloth have been made in this country in 1880
than in any previous year Of our history. and
that the aggregate profits have been such As
to encourage still greater expansion of indus
tries hereafter. In nearly all branches Of
manufacture and trade the record has been
much the same; unprecedented production
and traffic. with fair wages for labor and pro-
fits for capital. During much Of the year
the course of prices was such that labor Sc
cured the lions share of the gains. and there
probably has never been another year in
which the aggregate wages of labor were As
large, in proportion to the cost Of living for
laborers and those dependent on them. as in
the year 1880. The profits of trade and
manufacture were at no time extraordinary
large, and dnring part of the year very mar
row, and yet the net result for the year has
probably been fair return for enterprise and
capital in the large majority Of cases, because
the transactions Of the year were so enormous

The Census Apportionment.
The census returns are so complete that
we can safely place the population Of the
county At about 81. o00. 600. The House
Of representatives at Washington can
therefore proceed at once after reassem-
bling to make the reapportionment Of rep
resentation in that branch Of Congress.
There are signs, it IL said. that this work
will be Immediately entered upon. The
census committee have already given
some attention to the work. 1T seems
to be the general opinion says the Wash
ington STAR" that the ratio Of representa-
ton should be increased rather than to
enlarge the membership Of the House,
and the indications are that this method OF
appointment will be adopted. Upon the
basis OF total population Of 81 100000,
it is proposed by some of the committee that
the membership Of the House be increased
to 800 (it is now 1881 for the reason that
that number 600 is more readily appor-
IOucu tuou thS piCSo"s hS"S"t'
apportionment would give one represen-
tative to every 10000 Of population, IN
der which ratio, a majority Of the States
would retain their present number OF rep
resentatives New York would lose 3
members. Maine would lose /. New
Hampshire /, Vermont l. Massachusetts
!. Ofthe Southern States. Alabama, Ten
nessee and Kentucky would each lose a
member. Arkansas would gain one,
probably. Texas would gain 3. and the
other States Of that section would retain
their present representation. TIE gains
would be mainly in the West and North
west. Kansas would gain 8, Iowa 1. Ne
braska 2, West Virginia /. New Jersey
would lose member and Pennsylvania
would probably lose 9 Florida and
Rhode Island each have population in
excess Of the quota for one member, but
not enough for two. Each State would.
however, get two members, in order that
the fractional part Of the quota might be
represented.

The PORTESTs OF 1881. The astrologers
and oracle makers are full of sinister predic-
tions respecting the year 1881 They tell Us
Of Mother Symptoms divinations, of the pro-
phetic symbolism Of the great pyramid and
Of the horrors Of the perihelia. They pre-
dict pestilence and storms and all sorts Of
scarecrows. II IL true that several of the
chief planets will reach their perihelia within
few years, and that it is rare for them to be
grouped so close together as they will be at
one time next year. 1t is also true that re-
markable condolences have been observed
between the existence Of great storms on
the sun that produce electrical disturbances
and possibly meteorological changes upon
the earth, and the presence of Jupiter so near
his perihelion There will be remarkable
series of conjunctions and double and triple
conjunctions. The most Interesting of these
is the grand twenty-year conjunction of Jupi-
ter and Saturn in April. There will also be
copjunctions Of Jupiter and Mars, Venus
and Jupiter. Saturn and Venus, and the far
away giants, Uranus and Neptune, will play
part in this great planetary levee. Venus
will reach her greatest brightness in the
Spring, and will be 50 brilliant ~ to be Wis
IDLE at MONDAY. Saturn will open still wider
its wonderful rings, and will be one Of the
chief attractions of the evening sky for sew
eral months. Jupiter will not lose much Of
his present brilliancy before he becomes
morning star in April. Mars will begin to
brighten in the latter part Of the year, and
then his snowy poles and shadowy continents
will again become the admiration Of those
who gaze through telescopes. In short there
will be no end Of attractions in the starry
heavens, and all the representation Of the
soothsayers will not be able to darken ~
sky Of 1881.
