At n complimentary dinner rendered to
Senatorelect Payne of Cleveland. Ohio,
on Friday, Mr., Payne spoke of the Flee
tOral Commission, of which he was "A
member, and said that if the Presidential
controversy had not been settled by the
Commission, civil war would have been
the result, as 100000 men We're ready and
willing to adjust the matter by arms He
was chairman of the committee that CON
sidered the bill which established the
tribunal and was offered political advance
ment if he would report adversely on the
bill, He refused because he believed the
Commission was for the interests of the
country at large. Mr.. John Hay, who is
Il good deal of II wag, thereupon suggested
that Mr. Payne might succeed Mr.. Clevc-
land four years hence. Mr.. Payne is now
understood to be at work on his Cabinet
for 1889.
Mr.. John Bright said the other day to
his constituents: "Do you imagine the
reign of the Queen is remarkably a reign
of peace, and that Heaven should be
thanked for the long peace that we have
enjoyed How much peace have you en-
ioyed 4 great many other people, at
your cost, have not enjoyed it. Three
wars with China, the most peaceful en-
pire in the world n war with Burmah; |

Mr., Henry NJ. Stanley, the African cX-
plorer, says he thinks the reason why Gen
eral Gordon did not make his escape from
khartoum by steamer was the fact
that he was IA tatalst. His death Stanley
considers more serious than the fall of
khartoum. Had he managed to escape,
his life and presence would in the end have

The silver men of Washington are howl
ing about Mr.. Cleveland's letter advising
the suspension of silver coinage ; and their
rage is leading them to say great many
foolish and bitter things, which they will
doubtless regret by and by. They
declare that they expect nothing from the
new administration that they are pre-
pared To resist to the utmost any legisla-
ton brought against them; that MIR.
Cleveland is under the control of the
gold bugs of the East that his cabinet
is To be gold bug cabinet, and that if he
is going to ignore the Democrats of the
Middle, West and Southern States who
favor unlimited silver, he must take the CON
sequences 1t is not unlikely that silver
crisis will result in an extra session of
Congress. 1t would be better to undergo
the Inconvenience and cost of such SEES
sion than that the compulsory coinage
law should remain in operation until an
other regular session. What could be
done in the next Congress, however
would still be a question, The silver men
have thus far had complete control of
Congress, and have exercised their power
without scruple. Whether things Will be
in any better condition, under the next
administration, remains to be seen.

A despatch from Ottawa announces the
defeat of the curious proposition before
the Dominion Parliament for the REIN
bursement of the liquor dealers for losses
resulting from the enforcement of the
liquor laws. The most curious thingabout
the proposition was that all of the Cabinet,
with one exception, voted for it.

General Francis \. Walker, superinten-
dent OF the United States census, has been
lecturing on the results of the last census,
before the Lowell Institute of Boston. In
one of them he said that in 1913 Elkanah
Watson made curiously prophetic statis-
teal calculation of the population of the
United States for the present century, his
estimate being that in 1860 the population
would be 81, 153, S4, while the actual cen
sus return for the year was 81 40, Os0 For
1870 he was more than six millions out of
the way, however, and in 1850 his estimate
varied still more from the census returns
of that year. But between 1860 and 1850
was the great civil war which he could
not discern and make allowance for.
There is another fact strongly affecting the
census, according to General Walker
the prepOnderance of women in the East
and of men in the West the diminution
of marriages and the fewer children in
families than before. "The majority of
children born in Boston are of foreign,
chiefly of Irish parentage,' says General
Walker, land nearly the same result
would follow an investigation of Western
cities. In rural New England most of the
energetic young men go West, or to other
cities, before marrying, and ina town of
800 inhabitants only one marriage had
taken place in n year, and not child had
been born in the village during that year.
From this General Walker argues that as
immigration pours in, the country must
become more and more foreign, and the
American element gradually disappear
