A Million Residents.
From the Philadelphia Record


Philadelphians generally claim that
since the census of 1880 the city has
grown beyond 100000 population,
and this theory appears to be sus-
tanned by a comparison of the city di-
rectory for 1880 with the new city di-
rectory of 1885, just issued. In 1880
there were 100000 names-using
round numbers-in the book, and this
year the volume contains 261, 900.
The census of 1880 showed that there
were 847,17O population in the city.
1t has been found that the number Of
names given in the directory in the
census years 1870 and 1880 were
nearly in proportion to the popula-
ton in those two years. Taking for
granted that this proportion still ex-
lists, which is certainly reasonable, the
281 900 names in the directory for
1885 shows that the city now has a
population of over 1 100000 souls.

KEILEY'S RECALL.

The Kelley case still continues to at,
tract much attention and to afford pabu-
lum for the republican press to feed up
on. Except for the comment on the case
it would scarcely afford any preteXt for
extended discussion. There are numer-
GUS precedents in the history of diplo-
matte intercourse between nations of the
declination of an accredited representa~
tive upon personal grounds. 1t is usual
in such cases to recall the representative
and send some person against whom there
is no objection.
The only point in the case calling for
comment is the attitude taken upon the
subject by the republican press, which
applauds the action of the Austrian gov>
eminent and seems to take intense de-
light in abusing the minister who, for
diplomatic reasons, has been recalled
from the post to which he had been ap-

yond the fact that Mr.. Kelley is a demo,

the Italian and Austrian governments are

lean citizens
That Mr.. Kelley should have been OBJ
jectionable to Italy Is not surprising. He
is an ardent Roman Catholic and during
the struggles for supremacy between the
late Victor Emanuel, then king of Sardi,
MIA, and the pope, naturally took the side
Of the Roman pontiff, and in speech tt
a Catholic body, expressed himself
strongly toward the king. But as al
American citizen, Mr.. Kelley is none the
less entitled to the honor and respect Of
his fellow citizens because he is in relig-
ion Roman Catholic, and, as to Euro
pean politics, an ultramOntane. Neither
does the Austrian objection to him be-
cause his wife is Jewess appeal will
any force to Americans, who are laugh

tinguishing marks of free government.
II the republicans propose to make
Mr.. Keiley's or his wife's religion ma

makeshift. Mr.. Kelley is man of eooC
character. of good intellectual qualitica

court will not injure him in the cstima'
