The permanence of the native American
stock In the New England States has been
the subject of no little speculation and much
incomplete investigation. 1t has been quite
generally believed that the families of for
slgners are larger than native fan lilies; and
that there must be charged off against the
native stock not only the depletion Of the
great migration from New England to the
Western States, but also the slosness of in
crease Incident to small families. Statistics
upon this subject are easily obtained; but
their bearing 1t is exceedingly difficult to
construe correctly. It'll well known that
the families Of foreign extraction are gener-
ally larger than native American families
and 1t is also true that native American fami-
Hes are smaller than they were generation
ago. Here, then. is an apparent tendency
on the part OF the native stock In New Eng
Land to diminish. But there is involved in
this proposition hidden and unexpected
condition. The most recently completed
taken in 1885, shows the importance on this
condition in any deduction Of conclusions as
to the future Of New England society. That
condition Is: The chances of survival of
native children are much better than the
chances of those OF foreign parentage. Mas
sachusetts, where the native born and for
egn elements of population are very nearly
equal affords demonstration of this fact.
The last census of that State shows that OF
the total number Of children 1921 per cent.
are the children of native-born mothers, and
5O.79 per cent. are the children Of foreign
born mothers; but 51.09 of all the children
living are the children Of native born moth
ers, and 1891 per cent. are the children of
foreign born mothers. OF the children not
living 1907 per cent were the children of
native born mothers, and 5493 per cent,
were the children Of foreign born mothers
Expressed In numbers, the results of the
work OF the Massachusetts census takers
reveals the fact that there were IN that State
In 1885 about 77,763 more native born than
foreign born Imothers, but that the native
born mothers had 25,049 fewer children than
the foreign born mothers. On the other
hand. the native born mothers have 23,s60
more children living and $500 fewer chill
dren not living. In other words, the de-
crease in the size OF the native New England
family does not necessarily mean decrease
In the contribution Of natives to
society. With improved conditions of life
the proportion Of children succumbing
TO the diseases Of youth is smaller, and the
proportion surviving for the duties Of life is
larger

The growing GOODNESS of the Monarchists
towards Bonlanger probably grows out Of
the fact that he has not been so successful in
tearing down the Republic as they hoped
and anticipated. The only reason they ever
tolerated him was because he apparently
furnished the most available means Of bring
ing about that state of anarchy which was
an essential condition precedent of their
selling upon the government. That they
ever had the slightest intention of aiding
him or allowing him to assume the reins Of
government, after the manner Of Louis Ma
poleon, is improbable. They wanted him to
tear down, but they intended to build on the
ruins.

The new bridge was first proposed as far
back as 1856 1t came up prominently in the
transportation committee of the Merchants
Exchange during the presidency Of s. W..
Cobb and on the recommendation of the
committee the board of directors Of the ex-
change appointed a committee of thirteen to
take charge Of the project. OF this commit
tee seven gentlemen made up board of
directors and carried the plan through to the
point Of securing the charter from the gov
eminent and the railroad franchise from the
city. They then discovered the fact that the
Merchants Exchange could not build, own
or operate bridge or railroad. They then
offered to surrender the charter and fran
chise, and asked to be relieved, but were
requested to continue their efforts to accom-
plish the desired results simply as individu-
ais. This they did, so that the building of
the bridge is entirely independent Of the ex-
change and is the result of the efforts Of
number of the enterprising citizens Of the
"Mound City"
The bridge people, of course, did not sup
pose that man like Jay Gould, who was SO
largely interested in the old bridge, would
like to have new one built and thus de-
prive him of good share of the profits re-
sulting from the traffic, but they relied on
their financial status to carry them through.
Now, however, that the bridge has got so
far along, it is claimed that Mr.. Gould has
put his financial finger in the pie and by deli
cate manipulation has arranged matters SO
