How the Special Officer of the Gwen

His muttonchop nibs, who acts as special Of
flcer at tho star office, will go down to poster
ity as the champion oppressor of the small
boy. He is already known as "Chickie, the
Cop" on account Of the fact that he Will not
hesitate even to arrest chicken, If said
chicken ever happens to get in his way.
The other day this aforesaid vigilant officer
was engaged in keeping in line the four or
flve boys who assemble at the Star ofllce each
afternoon, when one little fellow named Frank
Joseph Litz left his place and came to THf
CRITIC Office to purchase CRITICS. Upon re
turning the meddlesome officer asked the boy
what he went away for, and upon being told
proceeded to beat him without cause and then
arrested-h him. The little fellow was locked vi
in tho station-house, and the next day
Judge Smell, on the unsupported testimony
of the rufian officer, fined him So. Several
parties who were eye-witnesses to the arres
Of the boy say that there was no cause what
ever for 1t; that the officer far exceeded his
duty.
Pity The ignorant, malicious officer could no
be taken in charge and locked up until ht

In Rochester, New York, an example worth following in some other cities has been set. The many tracks of the New York Central railroad have run for long distances through some of the most important streets of Rochester, and in some places there are thirteen tracks. It required forty gatemen or hagmen to watch the crossings and there has always been great danger in spite of them. First and last good many shocking accidents have happened because of the cars. After much agitation agreement was final ly reached between the city and the railroad. Tho tracks are now all elevated twenty feet above the roadway. There are no more grade crossings and everything is safe and sppa- rently satisfactory. The station has been moved and now the daily papers have to go to press ten minutes earlier in order to catch the trains, but this seems to be accepted without much grumbling. The work cost $2, 800, ,O0O, but it has some financial compen- sations. The wages of forty fagmen are saved, representing probably the yearly in terest on half 8 million dollars, and there is an end to all lawsuits for damages at cross ngs.

The Supreme court of the State of Wis consin has made an interesting and impor- tant decision concerning gambling in grain. The case was this Doe went into the market to buy or sell grain, not for delivery, but for settlement at the price of the day of ostensible delivery. Doe lost some twen- ty-fve hundred dollars, for which Roe, his broker, sued him in the Circuit court Doe appealed to the Supreme court of Wisconsin, ! which overruled the decision of the inferior court, upon the ground that the testimony 1 of the defendant, Doe, showed that the trans actions were not only illegal and void but criminal The Board of Trade of the city of Milwaukee is excited over the decision of the Supreme court. The principle upon which the court wont was obviously this: That as
 there was to be, upon the understanding of principal and broker as between themselves | and as between the broker and purchaser of or seller to, no actual delivery of the prop l erty bought or sold, the whole business was 6 gambling one, which the law not only will l not protect, but which it will, properly evoked punish. TEat is to say, the whole transac- ton was against public policy.
 In the last five years the increase of popu- | lation in France has been only seven hundred and seventy-six thousand. Of the total in crease fve-sevenths is found in the towns. Paris, Marseilles, Nice, Lille, Lyons have al 3 together 394, ,OOO more people, but this aug mentation was drawn from the rural dis l tricts. The aggregate population of the towns of 3O,OOO inhabitants or over being 6,OOO,OO they mako up about a seventh of the whole. Compared with the United King I dom, where in decade the increase was 1Od per cent, that of France was very little over per cent. In 1891 the United Kingdom will probably show an increase of $500, 900, while France might have 1,5OO,O more of l souls. The deduction from this study of 1 comparative populations is summed up as 1 follows France must always remain great l power because of it's wealth, of it's admirable
 soil and climate, of it's central position and the ! ingenuity of it's people. But henceforward 1 it does not stand in the first rank of the great powers" theory brought forward to
 account for this slow growth is that the
 standard of living among the peasants hay ing risen since the period of the revolution
 they are unwilling to lower that standard, and I as the rearing of large families might entail
 privations they marry late in life and have but few children
