DeS Nv Of the English Race.

Let US consider now to what conclu-
siOns the rapidly and undated steadi-
ness of the increase of the English race
In America must lead Us as we 90 on to
forecast the future. Carlyle somewhere
speaks slightinglY Of the fact that the
Americans double their numbers every
twenty years, as if to have forty million
dOllar-hunteTs in the world were any bet
ter than to have twenty million dollar
hunters. The implication that Ameri-
cans are nothing but dOllar-hunters, and
are thereby distinguishable from the
rest of mankind, would not perhaps bear
too elaborate scrutiny. But we have
been considering the gradual transfer Of
the preponderance of physical strength
from the hands Of the War-lOVing portion
of the human race into the hands of the
peace-lOVing pOrtiOn-lntO the hands of
the dollar-hunters, if you please, but out
Of the hands of the scalp-hunters. OBJ
ViOusly to double the numbers of a pre-
eminently industrious, peaceful, orderly,
and free-thinking community is some
what to increase the weight in the world
of the tendencies that go toward making
communities free and orderly and peaceful
and industrious. SOthat, from this point
Of view, the fact we are speaking of is
we'll worth considering, even for its ply
steal dimensions. / do not know whether
the United States could support pOpu-
latiOn everywhere as dense as that of
Belgium, so I will suppose that with or
binary Improvement in cultivation and
in the industrial arts, we might support
a population half as dense as that Of Bel
GUM, and this is no doubt an extremely
moderate suppOsitiOn. Now, a very
simple operation in arithmetic will show
that this means q population Of fifteen
hundred millions, or more than the pop
ulation of the whole world at the pres
ent date. Another very simple opera
ton in arithmetic will show that if we
were to 90 on doubling our numbers
even once in every twenty-five years,
we should reach the stupendOus figure at
about the close of the twentieth century,
that is, In the days of our
great-grandchildren. do not
predict any such result, for there are dis
cernable economic reasons for be-
lieVing that there viii be q dim
mutton IN the rate Of increase. The rate
must nevertheless continue to De very
great in the absence of such causes es
formerly retarded the growth of pOpula-
ton IN Europe. Our modern wars are
hideOus enough, no doubt, but they are
short. They are settled with few heavy
blows, and the loss of life and property
occasioned by them is but trihing when
compared with the awful ruin and desc
lation wrought by the perpetual and
protracted contests Of antiquity and of
the Middle Ages. Chronic warfare, both
private and public, periodic famines, and
sweeping pestilence like the Black Death
these were the things which formerly
shortened human life and kept down
population. In the absence of such
causes, and with the abundant capacity
Of our country for feeding its people,
think it an extremely moderate state
ment if we say that by the end OF the
next century the English race in the
United States will number at least six or
seven hundred millions.

New York Times
That eminent statesman of Gowanus,
John Delmar, comes from retirement to
to remind Democrats of the PleiOcene
period of how the "Little Giant" Steph-
en- A. Douglas, looked, and to give per
tinenCy to an ancedOte which until
recently has been known only to Chaun-
Cey M. DepeW. The anecdote Is about
Horace Greedy. He had been chosen to
preside over the meeting of the Lincoln
and Johnson electors of this State IN 1864
and had perched himself on the speakers
bench, In the old capitol at Albany.
Leaning down behind the desk, he said
20 Mr.. DepeW, who was then Secretary
Of State: "Chauncey, Pm a little lame
In Parliamentary law. Jest sit down on
that step, and help me out If things 90
wrong. Chauncey took the seat indicat-
ed, out Of the range Of vision Of the cleo
tors ana spectators. The roll having
been called, one of the electors was
discovered to be absent, just as Delmar
was Wednesday, and the word was
passed around that he had been indulg-
ing in something more than futile
dalliance with the cup on the previous
night. Somebody proposed an adjourn
ment, but Mr.. Greeley opposed 1t. He
had got it into his head that an adjourn
menU would be irregular, and might be
made a reason for questioning the legali-
ty Of New YOrk's vote before Congress.
To enforce his view he made a pathetic
little speech to his colleagues about the
solemnity of the duty cast upon them
and him, saying that upon their proper
performance of it perhaps the fate of the
Republic would depend" and he prOpOs-
ed the electors should sit in silence until
there absent friend should appear. His
speech sWayed all before him. The
ladies Wept, and tears chased each other
down the cheeks Of Andrew D. White.
Chauncey NJ. DepeW's contemplation Of
the moving scene in the body of the
room was interrupted by a thin treble
whisper that crept down to him from the
presidents desk, burdened with disgust
and the words "Chaunceyl Chaunceyl
how long do you think it will take for
that-fool to get the whisky out Of
him?" A response from Chauncey was
made unnecessary by the sudden appear
ance of the dilatOry elector.
