General Longstreet the Washington Cos
sips say, may be Register Of the Treasury.
The Register of the Treasury is the man who
signs his name to the greenbacks. The
greenback is said to have saved the Union !;
and should General Longstreet become Reg
lister. the greenback, too, might be said to
bear upon its face the strongest proof of a
purified and restored Union. For among the
names of Registers written upon its face
would be Rosecrans, Union soldier, Bruce,
negro slave liberated by the Union arms
and Longstreet the great Confederate.

The Fall River weavers bid fair to add
another to the long and melancholy list of
strikes which have worked disaster to wage
earners. Their only chance of success, or
partial success, lay in arbitration, and this
they practically refused. Their attempt to
compel the manufacturers to consen. to their
demands is folly, for by the nature of the
case the manufacturers can hold out much
longer than they can. Behind the former is
accumulated capital upon which they can
live for years. Behind the strikers is little
but the treasury Of the weavers' union,
which cannot long stand the drain that is
now being made upon it. There may be a
few weayers who have laid up something,
but with the great majority when their
wages are cut off their soul dependence is
gone, with the exception possibly of tenn
porary pittance from the fund of their union
Doubtless the strikers will infiict serious
losses upon the manufacturers, but only at
the expense of far more serious loss to them
selves

Our Increasing Population.

Persons of a speculative turn of mind will
be par .icularly interested in a recent article
by Gen. NJ. c. Meigs on the growth of the
population of the United States since 1870,
and its probable growth in the next one
hundred years. The population in 100 was
$4,000, and up to 1860 it doubled every
2315 years. From 1860 to 1870 the rate of
increase was reduced very greatly by the
civil war, and but for that war the next
population to be about 100000. AS it
is, it is expected to show it to be about e.
100000. An eminent authority has said
that in country affording plenty of space
and producing ample food, the population
will double every twenty-five years, but it
will be seen that up to the time of the
civil war ours did better than that.
Turning from the last to the next census,
Gen. Meigs estimates that at the usual rate
of increase the population in 1900 will be
69,000,000; in 1910, 2S4 900, 900; and in 1890,
1,206, 900, giving in tho last-named year
to each of our s, 026, 494 square miles of area
an average population of 39S, or about the
same that England has per square mile. He
thinks that in 1890 the colored population
will be S,0O0,0 900, or one-eighth of the whole
and 100 years later nearly 100000 OIL
one-fourteenth of the whole. He
thinks also that the tendency
of the people will continue to be to concen-
trate in the large cities, and that in 1890
the cities will contain 240.000,O00 people
New York leading with 30,00O,0OO. Long
before that year the best lands will have
been crowded with people, and the bes
situated town sites will have become popu-
lous cities. Whether or not the struggle
for existence will become harder with the
increasing population is question to which
Gen Meips does not address himself

"omethin9 Equally as Good"

Is the President going to try TO sooshe ex-
Commissioner Tanners feelings with an
other object If he is, he is taking his time
about it, and the chances are that the longer
he waits, the less inclined he will be to
throw another sop to the garrulous corporal.
When Mr.. Tanner was dismissed from the
pension office, it was understood that he
could get the consulship TO Melbourne, or
the United States marshalshp of the dis
trict of New York, in which Brooklyn is
situated, but he is said to have put them
both aside with disdain. He wanted better
Office. He announced with a flourish
that he would have something equally
as good" as the pension commits
sionership, and it was thought that he had
one eve upon the recordership of deeds at
Washington and the other upon the regis
tership of the treasury, either one of which
would have caused him to ildorse the
administration as being all that it should
be. AT that Juncture, however, his letter
to Private Dalzell was printed, and if the
President ever intended to give him some
thing equally as good, he probably changed
his mind 1t was stated the other day that
the President had not offered him the con-
sulship to Melbourne, or the q Iited States
marshalship. Perhaps he was on the point
of offering him the one or the other, when
the letter to Dalzell appeared, with the re-
suit that it was decided to leave him out in
the cold.
An interesting rumor in connection with
the Tanner affair is that after the President
had suggested to Tanner that he had better
not go to the grand army encampment at
Milwaukee, Gen. Alger urged him to go,
and said that if the President dismissed him,
he (Alger would get him suitable position
in private business. Tanner went TO Mil
waukee, and his dismissal followed.
Now it is said that he will
become a permanent resident of
Washington, and that he will put to prac-
tical use such knowledge of pension matters
as he may have obtained as commissioner,
by becoming member of an established
firm of pension attorneys in that city. If
this is true, did Gen. Alger secure the posi-
ton for him? No doubt the corporal would
make good deal of money as pension
attorney, and he would be independent of
the President. Under such circumstances
would he try to get even with the admins
traUionG 1t will hardly be denied that he
has considerable influence with a certain
element of the grand army, and if he
chooses to use his influence against the ad-
ministration the President may regret that
he did not give him something equally as
good.n

MIR. Heap Kept His Position.
From the st. Louis Republic.

The following anecdote about the late Con-
gresham Samuel S. Cox is vouched for by a
lady now living In Buffalo;
''In December Of 1884, just after Grover Cleve-
land had been elected President, was visiting
in Washington. my friend Mrs. David Porter
Heap. who lately died at her residence in Tom
kinsville, Staten Island. Maj. Heap was then
stationed at the capital Being of the army she
had no right to sympathiZe with either Guelph
or Ghibeline in the struggle for political prefer
ment, and yet, being born diplomatic, | could
see she was interested in watching the disposal
the Democratic party would make of the IA
nous men it possessed.
lone afternoon we were calling at a house
next door to that of Mrs. S. S. Cox, and while
there Mrs Cox came in to pay a neighborly
visit. The ladies were all old friends, and soon
fell to chatting confidentially. Mrs Cox in
qured about Maj. Heaps father, who for over
a quarter Of a century had been the consul at
Constantinople, and expressed her everlasting
gratitude to himself and family for the kind
ness they had shown her by taking her into
their home when a few years previously she
had been attacked with dread Eastern fever
DO you suppose the change in administra-
ton will interfere with Mr.. Heaps position?'
she inquired.
LAS quick as a flash my friend replied;
"'I trust not; bot, if Mr.. Cox will ACCEPT the
Turkish PORTFOLIO know it will not
Mrs. Cox laughed and said What an idea !
Mr.. Cox minister to Turkey I'll go home this
moment and propose it to him. I'm sure it
would suit me-
THE result was that Mr.. Cox went out in 1895
as minister plenipotentiary to Turkey, and
George II. Heap remained at the post he had so
faithfully and ably fl led until his death in 1856
without suffering the shock of removal his
family feared at one time might be his to en-

DR.. Gercelon's Puzzle.
Fronl the Lelriaton .LonrnnL


This is the fftieth year of ex-Gov. Garcelon's
practice of me licine in Lewiston. Now rs years
years old. he is constantly at work, driving
from fifteen TO forty miles every day. His
health has not been quite so good as usual this
fall, but his chaise has been seen bobbing over
our roads just the same. The ex-governor sat
down the other day and figured up how many
miles he had ridden in tnese fifty years. He
found that he had gone around the globe many
times. His long journey amounted to a triie
oyer 300, 900 miles. 1t further impresses upon
the doctor the fact that he is getting along in
years when he rehsc that he has
been personally acquainted with five
generations of his own family and is
now visiting professionally families
in Lewiston whom he attended for five genera
tons. What procession he has seen go on
and off the stage! Over an evening lunch in
his cozy home the other night the ex-governor
gave me a conundrum. II am now visiting
regularly" said he, "a family composed of the
following relatives, all living under one roof:
One grandmother, two grandmothers
three mothers, one grand tather, one father
three sons, one greatgrandson, one grandson
six sisters, six daughters, one daughter-in-law
two great-aunts, five aunts, one uncle, three
brothers, one widow, one step-daughter, four
granddaughters, one great-grand laughter, one
greatrgrandson, two wives, one husband. one
grandnephew one grandniece, four nieces, and
two nephews The question is said the doc
tor, how many people are there in the house?''

A short while ago Lawyer William W.
Thompson, of Albany, N. Y, was appointed
by Secretary Noble to position in the PEN
sion service. Mr.. Thompson did not like
the duties expected of him, and he sent his
resignation, through Deputy Commits
sioner Hiram Smith, to Secretary Noble.
1t is supposed that he made some caustic
remarks in the course of it. At any rate.
he soon heard from the secretary, who told
him that he was not intelligent enough to
send his resignation to the only person
authorized to accept it; that he was q
slanderer, and one wholly unfit for the
service of the United States, and that, in
stead of accepting his resignation, he would
dismiss him. 1t seems that Lawyer Thomp-
son is somewhat of a rhetorical slugger
himself. He wrote the secretary a
scorching letter in reply, telling him that
his official letter lacked dignity and respect
ability, which was very true, and that he
was personally a puppet, officially syco-
plant and lickspittle, and individually a
coward and craven. 1t may be remark ed
that both Secretary Noble and Mr. Thomp-
son acted foolishly, but that if Mr.. Thonp
son was unfit for the service of the United
States, the secretary should not have APP
pointed him.

The Abuse of the Eve.

Are we becoming a weak eyed nation?
The fact that a great many more glasses
are worn now than ten years ago is very
noticeable. 1t has become quite the
fashion to wear them, but of course de =
fective eyesight is the main cause of the
growth of the custom, and it would be
found upon investigation that defective
eyesight was largely the result of abuse of
the eyes. People who are sensible in nearly
all other things in life persist in reading
by dim light, or in railway car, and
they do not seem to give any thought what
ever to the fact that in doing so they are
seriously imoairing their sight. Business
men take the street car for their places of
business, and while the car is in motion
they strain their eyes in the endeavor to
decipher small print. They say they have
no other time to read. Students burn the
midnight oil while pursuing their stu lies,
young people read in the twilight, and all
classes frequently read by dim gas light.
The strain upon the vision is too great, and
the consequence is that glasses are worn
long before they would be if proper care
was exercised in the use Of the eyes, Hit
crate people rarely have defective eyesight.
1t will be noticed that very few colored
people wear glasses, but the practice of
wearing them increases among them in
proportion as they learn to read.
A New York optician remarked some
time ago that in fifty years, unless. Americans
paid more attention to the preservation OF
their eyesght, those who did not wear
glasses would be the exception, and that
even now every tenth young man and
every twentieth young woman wore them.
1t would be well for people to think of this
matter, and to be careful not to read too
much, or to read under unfavorable condi-
ti0ns

Mr.. Van Benthuysen, of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, has for years made war upon the
Louisiana state lottery, and during the next
session Of congress he proposes to redouble
his efforts in that direction. He has drawn
up three bills for the consideration of con-
gress, The first is an amendment to the
postoffice appropriation bill, which cou-
tains a provision that no mail of any
kind shall be delivered to any persons di-
rectly or indirectly concerned with a lot
terry company. The object is to prevent
several national banks in New Orleans from
acting as the agents of the company under
their charters to do q banking business
from the federal government. The second
is in the form of an amendment to the in
terstate commerce law to prohibit the
carrying of packages of any description to
the lottery companies or their agents. The
third is an amendment to the national
banking act prohibiting national banks
from being the agents of any lottery
concern, or doing business for them.
