FRIDAY EVENING, ocTR. 20, 1882.

A GREAT CITY.-Last year 26,170 new
houses, covering length ofeighty-six miles,
were built in the metropolitan police area
of London, which now contains 4,7SS, 657
persons, the largest number probably ever
packed within fifteen miles of common
centre. Out of this multitude twenty-three
children and one hundred and fifty-four adj
ults were entirely lost. Their disappear
ance is one of the mysteries of London, upon
which but little light is thrown by the fact
that forty-four bodies of persons found dead
and unknown were buried before identiti-
cation. There were three times as many
people killed in the streets of London in
1881 as it cost to storm Arabi's position at
Re. el-Kebir and ten times as many wound
cd, the figures being, killed 252, wounded
1900 There were 800 fires, 274 suicides,
eleven murders. and only three convictions;
40 burglaries, and only ninety-one convic-
tions.

THE CURSE OF CREDIT.

1t is asserted by writer in the Lon
don Times that the distress which cul-
minated in Ireland two years ago was
mainly brought about by small shop
keepers who "pressed their wares upon
be peasantry and ldulged them in
ruinous credit" Whatever the facts as
to the cause of Irish distress. says the
New York Mailand Express, it is certain
hat credit has proved ruinous to nations
again and again. The panic of 1873,
with all its years of distress, could not
have come upon us had it not been for
reckless extravaganza of the people
hrough the ciodIt system. 1t is said
ihat the greag, obstacle to the progress
OF the colored people of the south is
their ready acceptance of credit from
the scheners who thus bring them into
their power. But indulgence in credit
Is not confined to the ignorant and i'm
poverished laborers Of the south; it is
the curse of majority Of the American
people. A certain kind of credit is
necessary in great business operations,
hut the practice of purchasing family
supplies upon cr' dit would surely hc
avoided were those addicted to it aware
of the disaster it entails. The French
people abhor debt, and to that fact much
of their thrift is attributable. II is ex-
ceedingly desirable that the people of
the United States initiate the French in
their reluctance to incur debt.
