NEW YORK BEHIND PHILADEL-
PHIA.

The Philadelphia Press. on the authority
of figures from the new census, declares
that the Quaker City now heads the list
OF American cities in total value of annual
manufactured product: from q bad
second" TO New York in 1850. having
jumped TO the FIRST place in 1890.
In 1850. according to this showing, New
York led Philadelphia by about $780,
100000 in amount of manufactured pro-
duct. In 1870 Philadelphia showed an
excess Of SIS. 200 900 over her metropolitan
rival. By this showing philadeiphia's
rate of progress within the decade about
doubles that Of New York. That is to say.
New York in 1880 produced $4,000, 900
against philadelphia's Ssa5. 600, 600. while
IN 1890 the latter shows q total of s75s..
600 900 against New York's $500. ooo, 600
This gives, an increase of over $50 per
cent for the former and about 81 per cent
for the latter.
These figures have been a source Of sur
prise and modification to those of the big
city who have taught themselves to be-
iieve that "the earth and the fitness
thereof belongs of right to New York.
and they have engaged in systematic at
tempt to obtain revision and reversal by
the census department. bat there is every
assurance that the figures are down TO
stay" and that the City of Brotherly

From what motive it Is mot explained,
Mr., Thomas II. Cavanaugh has resigned
the position o. financial s'sgsntr ct WASH
ington City for this state. The appoint
ment was made by Lieutenant Governor
Laughton during Governor Fe1y's sb-
sence, under authority Of law enacted at
the recent legislative session, and which
provides that the "aeent" shall have for
his services 10 per cent Of I'll monies col.
lected from the government for the state.
The claims Of the state against the govern
ment run up into the millions, and It has
been estimated that Mr.. Cavanaugh would
make all the way from fifty to three hum
dred Thousand dollars ont Of the job.
The creation Of this Office was, to say the
least, q mistake. Washington has not the
slightest need Of . financial agent at
Washington City. Her COMPASSIONATE repre-
sentatiyes are quite able attend to her In
terests there. An "agent" would simply
be useless fifth wheel to the delegation
coach-and, 1t ten per cent. of al collec-
tons. . very expensive luxury.
It 10 to be hoped that Mr.. Cavanaugh's
resignation Il due to recognition on his
part Of the uselessness Of the Office; but
whether the motive Be this or some other,
the. fact IL most fortunate since it
leaves the state disincumbered in the
matter Of : financial agent. Governor
Ferry should not need to b reminded that
the right thing for him to do is to make
no appointment, leaving the place vacant,
and to trust to our congressional delega-
ton to look after the interests of the state.

reach In the case Of the white man, would
have been successful in tie United States.
There Il, It must be admitted, some jus-
tifcation for the claim of the Canadians
% far - figures 90. The reports for 1850
show that the Dominion has spent on an
average for the civilixation Of the Indian
about 100000 . year. The reports in
clude n, 150 Indians, and show that they
have made good progress n building
houses and cultlvating land. They have

erage for American white families-and
they are cultivating II, $50 acres Of land.
They raised 256.3s1 bushels Of wheat. 1860
bushels Of oats, 67,6l2 Of potatoes and
1855 tons of hay. They also raised about
thirteen thousand head of horses and
cattle, besides good stock-not enumer.
ated-of sheep and hogs. They are SUM-
GENTLY provided with modern farm imple-
ments and tools, including plows. harrows,
reapers, mowers and threshing machines.
In the matter Of religious training and
evangelizing the Canadian government
seems to have been more negligent than
ours, or at all events less successful, for
more than half of these people are re-
turned as "pagans," with the converts
pretty equally divided between the Cath
olics and Protestants.
To judge of the advantage Of the policy
as whole, the condition Of the entire
people must be borne in mind. British
Columbia il comparatively vast solitude.
For very many years it was reserved a. .
hunting ground, in which Indians were
employed as an integral part Of
the stock. They were by the nature
Of things INDUCED in their nomadic
habits and pampered in their predatory
instincts because they served part Of .
commercial purpose. The United States,
by sheer force Of the progress Of civilixa-
ton, drove back the Indian and settled up
the country. The trouble with the Indian
was his resistance at every step. Encroach-
ment narrowed his roaming ground, oblit-
Grated the huge game upon which he had
preyed, and necessitated q restriction of
his disposition to internecine warfare.
Had Canada built up tier after tier of inn
perial white settlements like the states Of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
Of Wisconsin. Minnesota, Dakota, Of Flor
ida at one extreme and of Washington at
another, she would have encountered the
same bloody conflicts, resistance and
periodical eruptions of expiring race
hatred.
The Indians of Canada number only
1900; those of the United States still
number 10000, yet for many years the
difficulties have been confined to en-
counters with few wild, untamable tribes
who have failed to realize that the past is
dead. and new power-the power Of civil
ization-reigns supreme.

NATIONAL INDIAN POLICY.

The Canadian newspapers have gener.
ally set up the claim that the Dominion
government has been more successful in
its policy with Indians than the United
States government The conditions have
been SO dissimilar that the comparison
would scarcely be fair even IL the ecnclu-
sion were true. The Indian population
may in Canada seem TO be better con-
tended with its white rulers, but the
greater advance made by the Republic far
inal further north. IL is very doubtful
whether the experiment of endeavoring to
achieve with the red men by means OF
arithmetic and spelling book in few years
