The German people, who were only 25,000,000 in 1915, are now 45,O00,O00, and their present rate of increase is greater than that of any European race. The popula- tion, which in France only in creases by 26 a year for every 10000 and ID Great Britain by only 101, increases in Germany by 115, and this in spite of emigra- tion, which since 1916 has carried away 3,500,000, mostly young adults. It is a singular fact that this increase of population is thing that German publicists view with apprehension. The country lacks the vast agricultural territory of the United States, and there is such a thing as overcrowding it. Consequently there IS not that opposition to emigration which we of the United States have been led to suppose.

MOrmOns in Mexico.

The treaty reported to be made with Jose Cajeme, chief of the Yaqui Indians, in Sonora, Mexico, by the Mormon agents, acknowl- edges the former as the reigning authority over certain described Territory; promising to him pro- tecticn from whatever aggression may be made by any nation, peo- pie or government. It agrees to pay him taxes for the proper support of the government of said Territory, and also proposes to loan him the sum of $500,00O for the term of twenty years, to be secured to the Mormons by liens on real estate on said Territory claimed by the Yaqui chief, and then it winds up with the state ment, that in consideration of the foregoing, Eve the Mormon agents, as representatives of a nation of people numbering 500,000 to 750,- 900 people, are to be allowed to colonize lands in the Territory above referred to, cultivate the soil, to open schools, to worship at such temples as we may erect, and in all matters with freedom from restraint or abuse" That may seem 6 very good bargain for the Yaqui chief, but in the long run he will find himself the loser. The money loaned will never be repaid; the Mormons only look upon it as mortgage on the land, which in time they foreclose, and as they grow powerful, will laugh at an attempt on his part to enforce any authority over them. The cool assurance Of the affair is, the agents designating themselves as the representatives of a nation, and making a treaty as such. This is putting into practical shape the claim of the Mormons to be the ''Kingdom of Zion."-Ex.

Progress In Nebraska.

During the last few years Ne- braska has increased in popnla- tion and wealth more rapidly than any of the otl q Western States Two years ago ohe vote for Gov ernor was.S9,038, while at the last election the vote was 135,00O, or gain of 45.0O0. According to the vote of two years ago, 1882, the population was 455,190. Reckon ing on the same basis, the gain in population in two years.is 225, eco. whiehi gives a total ofaseS0, ,19O. The people of this State point with pride to this record. It is fair to presume that theEincrease in wealth is fully as large. Everywhere in the State there ares evidences of prosperity, and although farm products are sell ing at very low rates, yet with the introduction of improved stock, which will consume the large surplus, the farmers will make very much more money now, than by selling the raw material.

The Great Eastern.

From treat 1nuu6trleS or OreaC DrltalHs
 A review of the progress and present position of iron shipbuild- ing necessarily conducts to the special consideration of the Great Eastern. Several years have elapsed since that remarkable vessel was foated on the Thames, yet she is still unapproached in size and weight by the largest vessels which have been built either for war or commerce. The aggregate weight of the three of the heaviest iron-clads, or three of theifnest Atlantic mail steamers, would only equal that of this monster ship; and at the time she was built her relative proportions were even more considerable than they now appear. During the Crimean war the famous troop ship Himalaya was one of the largest and fastest merchant steamers adoat; she was only half as long, and about one seventh as Lsavy, as the Great Eastern. When the latter ship was launched, 
 the Royal Navy boasted of the possession Of towering three-deck- CTS, with 131 guns and manned by HOO men; but the largest of these men -of-war was consider ably less than one half as long, and not more than fourth as heavy as the Great Eastern. In view of these facts it may fairly be asked, Why was the Great Eastern made so large7 Was it to fulfill some well-considered scheme, or was it an ambitious freak on the part of her designer to surpass all rivals in the grand eur of his work? Fortunately, we have the means of answering these questions from documents prepared before the ship was built by the great engineer, Mir. I. K. Brunei, with whom the design originated; and any one who will consult them cannot fail to be i'm pressed with the conviction that the design of no ship could have been more carefully thought out Tn its details as we'll as its main features, before any part of the construction was taken in hand. The objects aimed at may have been, and we think they were, mistaken the conditions which ruled the design are subjects for criticism; but having regard to the circumstances under which the ship was built, her great size was necessary consequence of the service she was expected to per form. This was nothing less than the circumnavigation of the globe, the ship carrying from England coals sufficient to enable her to steam the whole distance, and having besides a reasonable amount of cargo-carrying capa- city, as we'll as accommodation for large number of passengers.
