THE statue or JEFFERSON DAVIS

The curious spectacle was yesterday witnessed
throughout the South OF popular movement 10
honor the memory of the author OF Southern
ruin and defeat For some time the effort TO
erect n monument to Jefferson Davis has Ian
puishcd for want of funds, and the plan OF a
general public agitation was devised to avert II
possible, complete collapse. 1t is not yet re-
norted that the idea has proved a success, But
the movement is unfortunately likely 10 arouse
hitter and hostile criticism in quarters where
its oiiginatOrs are esteemed and the New
South" is regarded as a synonyme OF Naoonal
union and fraternal good-feeling. To the most
unpreiudiced it is not easy to see exactly wha1
attribute of the leader of the Southern COh-
foderacy merits grateful commemoration by an
oblired peope. His own associates testify that
his Interference in military operations preclpl-
tatnd some of the worst disasters OF the war
His incOmpetency as q civil leader was con-
tinuay and cODSpcuously manifest, ana MS
unreasonng rejection of a prOtfered econcllla-
tion with those from whom he had been gad
enough to accept his life has forever dispeiled
on,, halo of romance that might otherwise have
clung about his figure.
II is not however. to be inferred that In
seeking 10 verpetuate his memory the Southern
neople are open to the charge either OF treason
or insult of the North. Their present loyalty
TO the Union is approved. The issues personliied
by Mr. Davis are obliterated. The cause nc
cspoused is irIctrievably wrecked, and the best
Of them, speaking in the light of new intelll-
eence, openly rejoice that it is. Yet 1t Is IN
conceivable that they should regard without
tenderness their suffcrings in defence OF what
they once thought right or that they Shoui
turn in execration of those who shared Their &C.
lusions So shrewd a speaker as the late Henry
". Grady was able to talk of Mr.. DAVIS as q
" rolden-hearted gentleman" whose virtues
were worthy of general emulation. These
virtues. it is possible, were commonly notceu
in the South, though they were never discern
lille by Northern eyes. Their celebration IN a
statue raised by the whole Southern people Will
not appear to impartial critics as particularly
timely or expedient, or in the best OF taste
But the incident should not be magnliied' us
significance is purely local, and it can IN no way
be construed as rejecting on Southern loyalty,
Indeed, the innocence of the motive is revealed
in the appeals for funds, which enjoin prompt
action, "unless the SOUTH wishes to figure very
unfavorably before the country"

II will be observed that the result thus Cd
tanned for June 80, 1890 namely, 62,soV'''o'
Is larger than the total population which "aS
reported in Bulletin No. 16 as "the oinc'a,
coa,nt.u But in that bulletin it was stated tnat
whites in the Indian Territory were excluueu
from that statement, and these were afterward
reported as 111,493 in number ana also in,
dams on reservations, since reported as l3z'5o@
in number and the entire population or AiaSRa,
not vet determined These additions would
mako the total at least 62s66,125, and 1t was
stated at the time in the Census Bulletin that
cit would probably reach 63,OOO'ooo:" Hence
il may be assumed that the rate OF increase
from 1880 to 1890 is in the above table appor-
toned with sufficient exactness for all purposes
IN the basis of the declared results OF the las'
census. In reckoning the consumption OF wheat
coffee, tea, sugar, tobacco and liquor the ano'll'
of money in circulation per capita, and many
other comparisons Of a similar nature figures
formerly used should now be replaced by others
like the above in accordance with the census.

THE POPULATION FOR DIFFERENT YEARS


II is now year since the census was taken.
few scientific publications still refer occasion
allv TO the question regarding its correctness,
but people generally have accepted its results,
not indeed as if there were no longer any room
for question, but on the eminenty practical
ground that the ascertanment of the popula-
ton is the only one the country is to have until
1900, and in most respects it makes no diifer-
ence whether the figures are absolutely accurate
or not. An apportionment entirely fair to
different parties has been made, and for all
other purposes the people do not greatly care
whether this is Nation of siXty-four or of
sixty -iiye or sixty-six millions of people. 1t is
growing fast enough at all events
1t is time, therefore, that official and other
comparisons OF the population should be adjust
ed TO the determination which must remain for
nearly ten years the only official one In many
publications by the Government itself, and in
not few other comparisons in which the pop
ulation of past years is used, the estimates pre-
pared by Professor Elliott ten or twenty years
ago are still employed for years nearly or quite
down to 1889, which Is of course absurd, for
his hgnres supposed continuance Of increase
at substantially the rate of the previous decades
As the census figures will have 10 be used here
after as the basis of all comparisons in which
the population is an element, the population for
intermediate years must be estimated anew in
harmony with the results of the census.
In doing this the only correct mode is TO make
separate allowance each year for the additions
by immigration, and then 10 ascertain the rate
of increase by excess of births over deaths
which, with the known immigration, would
have produced the population according to this
census. The ratio Thus determined is low, and
perhaps for that reason the requisite estimates
are not made. But until the next enumeration
there must be some officially accepted statement

The need of new Extradition Treaty with
Germany is shown by the difficulty the State
Department is experiencing in securing the sur
render of one Holt, who is accused Of larceny.
This is not an extraditab}e offence according
10 the existing treaty, and were it not that
Holt was on a steamer which called at South
ampton and thus came within British jurisdic-
ton. it is doubtful whether we should be able
to secure him. 1t is thought now that Great
Britain will compel his return to that country,
when his case would come within the scope Of
our treaty with England.

THE NEW ANGLO-PORTUG UESE TREATY.

The dispute between Great Britain and
Portugal as to their respective rights in Africa
has come at last to an end. The solution Of the
difficulty which for more than year past has
constituted a source of serious danger to the
Portuguese throne is entirely due to the liberal
concessions made by England. Lord Salisbury,
realizing at length that King Charles would
lose his crown if he persisted in exacting the
execution of the agreement originally signed by
the young monarch, but which the Cortes had
declined to ratify, modified his demands and
consented to a new treaty, which proves to be
entirely satisfactory to both the Portuguese
Parliament and people. It's main principles
are that the disputed lowlands go to Portugal
and the disputed highlands to Great Britain :;
that the navigation of all Portuguese rivers in
Africa shall be free and that for twenty-five
years the duty on goods crossing Portuguese
territory shall be per cent ad valorem, the
precious metals, however, being exempted from
the payment of any dues. Each Power may
construct railroads and telegraphs in the terri
he subject to local legislation. These together
with the guarantee of all concessions of land
and mines. constitute the main features of the
new Anglo-P Portuguese Treaty.
While Lord Salisbury's concessions have
soothed the pride of the Portuguese, and abated
the nti-English feeling which recently ran so
high at Lisbon, they represent only small loss
to Great Britain. For the large strip of low
land north of the Zambesi which is abandoned
to Portugal can only be developed or cultivated
by means of native labor in consequence Of its
pestilential climate, whereas the relatively small
er slice of highland territory south of the Fam
best and east of Mashonaland secured by the
treaty to Great Britain is suitable to European
colonization and exceedingly rich m gold and
precious metals. Portugal, it is true, gets the
larger quantity, but John Bull as usual, the
