THE SIZE or THE NJVEHBER TOTE.
The probable vote for the Presidency in No
vcmbcr next will be very close on ten and a
half millions. and may exceed that number
The vote in 1880, using round figures, was
922O,000 in total population of 42.31L0o),
and in a male population of The voting age re-
ported at roundly 12,57l,00O for the thirty

very nearly million, making for the whole
country grand total Of fully 0GOOO,VOD.
These latter figures are arrived mt by calcu-
aing the natural increase OF our population
through the excess of births over deaths at
per cent year. 70 this must be added Che
immigration. Now if population of
1881. 900 in tho States includes voting

dental vote of 1875 produces substantially the

that number east s,4l3,0OO ballots, u popula-
ton of $4,000, 900 Is likely to east about ton
and n half million votes and as the State of
New-York in 1880 cast | 100000 ballots In a
total for the country of 1920, 900, it is not inn
probable that il will cast $50, 600 ballots in
the probable total of 10000, 900 which may be
expected in November.
Thcse gigantic figures may well fill one with
awe. AT the same time they illustrate the pre-
tentious arrogance of the Republican lndepend-
ents, who unwilling to go with their party,
and try TO have little conyenticle of their
own. Assuming that but one-half of the next
popular vote for President and Vice President
will be Republican, is it not ludicrous that n
mere handful Of malcontents undertakes to die
tate to about 5,250,000 Republicans who have
acted deliberately. moderately prudcntly and
in entire harmony with party usage II tho
methods Of the Independents are adopted by
the citizens of the United States, we shall have

E1pTDOT1KE AFTERW1TH

No part of the carth's surface is free from liza
biltv to earthquakes. Certain regions arc more
liable than others, and principally because OF
the vicinity of active volcanoes; but the abb
scncc of volcanoes does not prevent seismic dis
turbanccs. Science has failed to account salts
factorily for earthquakes. and there is no theory
of them which covers all the phenomena The
volcanic theory is defective, and SO is the
electrical theory and the gaseous theory.
Taking a comprehensive view of the
phenomena. the presumption seems justified
that earthquakes are differently caused at
different times and places. In volcanic
belts the chemical processes going on be-
Meath the surface no doubt are often sufficient
of themselves to account for seismic disturb
ancos. Volcanic crlptions may in like manner
react upon distant regions through subtcrrancan
channels 1t is, however, probable that cleo
trical action il seldom or never absent from any
form of earthquake. There is certainly album
dant proof of its presence both i'll the disturb
ances occurring in volcanic and I'm non-vOlcanlc
areas. The earthquake shock appears always
To be propagatcd from centre outward, Iadi-
ally. though when the shock is mild, rs on Sun
day along this coast, il may be difficult or even
impossiblc TO locate the centre of disturbance.
&r,in. the severity of the shock may be mod
fled considerably by the character of the ground
through which the earthquake wave passes,
though the results are not always alike under
similar conditions. Thus if Is curious That on
SUNDAY houses built ON made ground near the
water front i'm thi, city hardly felt the shock
while I'm leGs the made gtound at San Fran

THE REPUBLICAN POLICY TESTED.


There are about 10000, 900 male adults in
this country engaged III ganiul occupations
and the census shows that this is about the
number of males of the voting age. Sub
stantially the whole male population that can
vote is at work, and about half of the whole
number is engaged in farming, nearly ono-quar-
ter in manufactures and mining, over one-sixth
in personal and professional services. anu about
one twelfth in trade and transportation. How
can the Government promote the welfare Oh
these workers
@Let them alone say the British frec-trade
theorists do not mcddle with them at all
helm no one, make taxes as light as possible, and
leave everybody to find his level" The results
of the "1ct alone policy can be seen in Eng
land. Whoever wishes to ascertain what sort
of level the great body of workers reach under
such a system can examine Mr.. POrters letters
the official reports of the Bureau of Statistics,
or any other accurate and trustworthy state
mcnt of the condition of labor abroad
The Republican party, on the contrary, holds
that Government ought to do all II can to Gle
waite. dignity and protect labor It began by
cnactingn homestead law This offers farm
to every industrious citizen who as Wiling to
cultivate IT, and the effect has been to iN level
hrlow which the wages of agricultural labor
can never be depressed so long as available
public lands remain. BY this great measure.
