ttMR. ASTOR.N

John A. Cockerill, editor Of the
New York Advertiser, in a newspaper
letter, has picked William Waldorf
Astor up by the piece de resistance of
his breeches, set him down in England,
and absolutely refused to point out
the hole that was made when he pull.
ed "Mr. Astor" up by the roots He
even asserts that there war no hole,
that waldorf never cut any figure in
New York, and his entire withdrawal
from this country would not be
noticed by the very set among which
he permits his diamonds to shine.
This may be true, and Col. Cockerill
tells it in a way that admits Of no
contradiction, but it does not reflect
any credit on New York that the
richest citizen is 50 mich Of cipher
that he can be rubbed out without
the fact creating any comment. All
American cities have their snobs, they
even contaminate the atmosphere Of
Minneapolis but New York appears to
have so many of them that they con.
stitute the preponderating portion o!
the population. That SWIM. Astor''
the lord of more millions than any
other man living should be person
80 Indifferent that New York would
gladly see his baggage or luggage
checked for an European steamer in
dicates that wealth has lost some Of
its robust power in New York. In
the west a rich man is expected to do
something, and if he doesn't do or be
his wealth does not save him from d
; contempt that even is stronger than
wealth. In New York It appears to
be different. Her millionaires are
either, like Jay Gould, thieves, or, like
Mr.. Aston, anglo-maniac bookies
Neither can be classed as Americans,
and in view Of the fact that they
dominate New York the claim that
Gotham is the representative Ameri-
can city becomes painfully absurd.

THE BLACK HAWK WAR.

The sturdy pioneers who occupied
North Illinois and Southern Wiscon-
sin for CIVILIZATION sixty years ago, Of
ten had the mouotony Of frontier life
broken by conflict with the Indians.
The last struggle of importance in
that section occurred in 1882, and is
known to history as the Blaze Hawk
War, the moving spirit Of the savage
outbreak being the noted Black Hawk
chief Of the Sacs and Fotes. Gen.
Harry Dodge, afterwards senator
from Wisconsin, was the leader in the
hot pursuit whish finally brought
Black Hawk, with his warriors,
women and children, to bay near the
mouth Of the Bad Axe river, on the
east bank Of the Mississippi, in what
il now Vernon county, Wisconsin.
The sun Of the second day Of August
1882 set upon . bloody field, and the
result was the death Of nearly all the
braves. and the abrupt close Of the
campaign. The chief himself escaped
aud died years after at his home near
Isack Island, III. The locality Of
the battle Is now marked by the vii

SOME MORE CENSUS FIGURES.

Another bulletin, full Of monument
tai inaccuracies, has been issued from
the United States census bureau and
pretends to give the cost Of public
together with the number of
lights IN use on the streets of the va
,ious cities Of the country. The tables
presented are utterly worthless for
purposes of comparison, as neither
the candle power Of the lamps the
hours burned or the area lighted, are
given. The exhibit of the number
and cost of lights is Of comparatively
little practical value, hardly worth
the time and money expended in the
compilation of the figures; and the
compilation, such as it is, is grossly in
accurate, and should not be given en-
during form.
From the bulletin it is learned that
300 American cities, with popula-
ton Of 1885, $50 have have 1851
gas lamps, 53,696 electric, and 57.S40
oil. These lights are maintained at
the rate Of one per Sc of the popula-
ton and cost annually $40, 800, 147 or
81 cents per head. Some Of the state
ments are contained in table giving
the particulars of % cities having over
100000 population. For instance,
Omaha is credited with eight electric
lights at a cost of $3.50 each per year,
when, in fact, Omaha pays $175 each
for 120 arcs. Rochester is said to
have 1873 electric lights, which cost
$67. 46 each per year, whereas, 800 Of
these are incandescents and cost 1926
each, and the remainder, arcs, cost
te1O4 each. The cost at Buffalo is
given at $153.13, while it should be
|$146. St. Louis is credited with
1921 electric lights, but portion of
these are incandescent at $26 per
year, and the arcs cost $75, so that
the statement of $74.95 each for all is
misleading. At Newark, the price,
$146,, is correct for the arcs; but there
are also incandescents of which no &C.
count is taken. At Cleveland 1900
and 1000 candle lamps lamps are
used, but no distinction is made in
the tabulated costs, and the same is
true of San Francisco, where large
and small candle powers are used.
Boston pays SAG and is charged with
S237.25.
As thus shown, the figures Of the
bulletin do not present correct state:
ment. 1t may be doubted whether
the superintendent of the census will
take any steps to correct the glaring
bldnders he has made, but unless the
work is thoroughly gone over and the
compilations carefully and intelli-
gently made, something ought to be
done to forbid the publication in cen
sus volume of such trash as the coun-
try is threatened with. It is better to
frankly acknowledge that the work
is imperfect and to amend it, if that
can be done, or If not, to cast it out

How the Great Russian General Returned

During the Russo. Turkish war. writes
Archibald Forbes In SiteifnA Century, the
day after the passage Of the Danube had
