THE BLAINE REVOLT IN PENN.
SYLVANIA.

The deadlock in Pennsylvania on
the question of the Senatorship con-
tiuues. Many ballots have been taken
without result. Mr.. Oliver, the Cam
eron candidate, has Withdrawn, as
well as Mr.. Grow, the candidate of
the friends of Mr., Blaine. Senator
Cameron's friends have nominated
General Beaver, but the party refuses
to unite. Mr.. Crows candidacy has
been followed by the nomination of
Mr.. Bayne. There have been confer
ences between Mr.. Cameron and the
| leaders Of tue other faction, but an ar
rangement seems az far oil as ever
There is an eifolt to bring out new
man in the person of Mr.. Brewster,
| Mr.. McNeagh, Mr.. Boxer, Mr.. Welsh
or General Kane. Mr.. Brewster was
| formerly Attorney General for the
State, and is lawyer of large cxper-
fence and conceded ability. Mr.. Nc

tor Cameron, but he has always acted
with what is called the reform element
lie is brilliant speaker and has wide

| the Union League, was Minister to
Russia and, apart from his literary
, reputation with which the world is
| familiar, is gentleman of fortune and
scholarship. Dir. Welsh is wellkn own
as formerly Minister TO England
General Kane is the brother of DR.
Kane, the famous Arctic explorer
lie belongs to an old Pennsylv
family, is man of genius and cour
age, and did brilliant service DURING
the war as the commander of the ia
nous Bucktails. He was in the Chi
cago Convention, and won't down will

Some Of our contemporaries share the
agitation OF Mr.. Hoar concerning the ma
tional peril from the hordes of fierca mil
itiamen who are going TO Washington TO
take part in the inauguration of General
Garfield. They deplofe the absence of
republican simplicity in MALTA par
ade TO impre the spectator with the
idea of republican simplicity. The
"aping of regal forms" is not calculated
to hurt anybody. Moreover, it seems
TO us, the Inauguration of President
when he has actually been elected ought
to be made as dignified aud Impressive
as possible. We are not clear what "re-
publican simplicity" requires, bat to
Judge from some Of our exchanges we
should say that their notion of truly
republican Inauguration was that the

AMERICAN PROGRESS,

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes: By far the most
accurate estimate of future popula-
ton ever made in this country, or any
other, was made by a man named
Watson in 1915. AS his pre- dictions
were published that year there can be
no doubt of the genulness of his "gues-
ses." lie pred cted that the popula-
ton in 1880 would be So, $50, 900. OF
course he did not calculate on the war
and hence he missed the mark some
five millions. To show, however, that
it was the war which put Watson eff
the track, it is only necessary to COM
pare the figures of those remarkable
predictions with the actual result
! he prophecies were made in 1915,
and here is the striking manner in
which successive censusss have shown
their uracy:

THE FRONT STREET RAILWAY
Front street is the greatest business
thoroughfare Of the city. More teams
and vehicles of various kinds pass over
1t in day than travel on any other
street. Why railway has never been
built upon it before would be somewhat
Of mystery, were it not from the fact
that every business man in Wilmington
feels the difficulty there is in securing
capital. The proposition to build a
road now ought to bs encouraged in all
possible ways. Such a road will add
greatly 10 the convenience of the people
in that rapidly growing section. 1t will
enable the families Of operatives in the
great workshops to get to market, and
give citizens an excellent opportunity to
take a ride for pleasure into the less
thickly settled region upon the hill west
OF the almshouse, thence a short walk
would take them 10 the Delaware Ave
nue. railway aud return to the city.
We hope the City Council VIII give
the enterprise every facility consistent
with propriety aud that will not do in
jury 10 the rights of the city. There is
scarcely doubt now that this fine street
will be built up far beyond the present
limits of the city. The splendid sites
for dwellings upon the elevated ridge
through which Broome, DUPONT and
Scott streets pass will soon be occupied
with good houses. 1t is hoped that
those who buy will be careful TO secure
enough ground to give plenty of yard
aid garden room, so that their dwell
ings may partake OF all the healthful
characteristics of rural life, as in some
Of the Western cities. Wilmington is
too much of workhouse.

In 1870 Illinois produced one-fifth Of
all the corn grown in the United
States, and according to the latest ad-
vices the crop of 1880 will bear about
the same proportion to the crop Of the
county. The value of the hogs mar
keted in 1880 was $22, 1877, 900; in 1879
it was SIC, 100000. The value of cattle
in 1850 was $17,o26,OOO in 1879 1t was
S16,75l,0 900.

THE FUNDING BILL took a new
phase IN the Senate yesterday. The
Finance Committees cautious amend
ment, advocated SO forcibly by the Sen.
ator Bayard, was struck out by a vote
OF % to "a, and the , per cent. rate
that had been adopted by the House,
adopted. The vote by which this was
done was a very strong indication that
the Senate would yield to the popular
sentiment of the county as expressed
through the press IN its approval OF
this vote in the bill as it passed tie
House.
Should this bill pass with this rate Of
interest and The retunding scheme prove
@success it will place the country at
once in the lead OF all countries in the
world as to finances, and enable us to
build railroads and make other vast i'm
provements as cheaply, SO tar as inter-
est on capital is concerned, as any other
nation.
As to the success of the loan we have
very little doubt. II is not a new loan.
The country IS not borrowing money it
is only paying to the holders of It's
BONDS, other bonds. The holders of the
five and six per cent. bonds have had
long run OF high rate Of interest and
Can we'll atfJrd TO take the new loan al
per cent. In fact they VIII find il
greatly to their advantage to take bonds
instead Of money. Because there is nc
opening for the Investment of tue money
that is now on the market where it will
net annually more than per cent.
therefore they will fud that it is better
TO take per cent. bonds than to take
money TO lie idle because OF the want Of
aplace for investment
In the debate Senator Salisbury IN
an able speech favored the lowest rate
per cent.

Here we hnd that in 1915 Mr.. Watson
predicted within about 100000 Of what
the population of the United States
would be in 1860 or forty five years after
the recording of his prophecy. AS Gen.
Walker says, in speaking of this matter
1t almost staggers creduity. THAT a
man, mere human being" says Gen.
Walker, "should be able 10 predict fifty
years in advance the number of inhab-
ltants IN rapidly growing country with
in fraction of one per cent, seems won.
derfHl beyond belief" Had the war not
INTERVIEWED, it is believed that Watson's
predictions would have held good in
1870, and 1880. But in 1870 he was
ahead of the census nearly 4 900 600
aud IN 1880 nearly 5000 900. The losses
of the war, direct and contingent, WE
eau never know; but Watson's figures,
almost abso iutely accurate up to the wal
period, would show 1t TO affect us nearly
1900, 100. Thatis, had there been no
war, the present population of the
United States would be- about SO ,OO0, 600.
Watson predicted that the population In
1900 would reach 100000 600, but Gen.

The RICE LANDS OF NORTH CARO-

Simon Cameron through North Caro-
lima, few days since, when near Viii
mingtOn, passing the former rice lands,
q gentleman remarked TO him: "These
rice farms were once the best properly
in North Carolina. They will soon be-
come so again. Before the war the lands
which stretch on either side Of US. now
grown with weeds and half overfl1wn
with water, readily commanded $50 an
acre. Now they can be bought for $40.
The shnnkage of all values in the South
has been very great. We had ten mil
Ii Jns Of banking capital in North Caro-
lima before the rebellion. and now have
only TWO millions and a half. Yet our
people are getting along very well, and
in about twenty-five years from the
close of the war will be better off than
they ever were, but it will take that sec.
tion where there were large plantations
fifty years 70 recuperate."
