BAD FOR FRANCE.

The French people are exceptionally
attached to their native land. At least.
they do not migrate in any such way as
do the Germans, English and other Eu-
ropean people. Nor do they encourage
other nationalities to become settlers of
their country. But they need an in
fusion of fresh blood. Statistics COM
piled from recent official reports are
said to cause quite a sensation in
the showing made of population and
the tendencies of the human kind. 1t
has been understood for some time that
the births and deaths were pretty
nearly equal, but the later develop
mentS show still less favorable condi-
ton. The data for 1890 indicate
that births and marriages are falling
away notably, and that there is even an
actual decrease in population. Last year
there was reduction i'll births of over
$4,000, and the number of marriages was
1902 less than the year previous. There
have been periods during wars when
the deaths exceeded the births, as in the
Crimean war and the war with Ger
many etwenty vars ago; but when this
is the fact in time of peace, t'may
well cause apprehension. The mOrtuary
roll last year, however, was greatly
swelled by the grippe, which prevailed
in the first four months. The divorces,
too, are increasing alarmingly, al
though new divorce law was
passed designed to discourage the
practice. Getting married there has
vast amount of red tape business about
it, and is expensive. The difficulties at
tending it deter many. especially Of the
poorer classes. Those who do marry do
not have the wells pring of JOY" con-
ceit. One or two children meet all de-
sires, and none Is the very frequent
case. There is prudent figuring on the
cost of raising child. The cOmpul-
sorry education law comes IN as a dimiu-
ishing factor. The child must be sent
to school, ard not put to work earning
something until after the school years;
and. consequently, the families of the
poorer people become smaller. The
outlook for the nation is one to cause
solicitude among the statesmen and
people.

THE FOOTBALL SITUATION.

This week will be memorable forever
In the worlds history because the Yale
and Harvard football teams of 1891 will
do battle royal at Springfield on Satur-
day next, and OH the following Thurs
day Yale and Princeton will meet in
New York. This Is the grandest of
modern amateur sports, and no athletic
events in the year excite anything like
the interest and enthusiasm of these
two annual games. College men never
tire of talking over their recollections
of famous runs or successful maneuYcrs
on the field in the seasons which are
past, and no student is such a q hero in
the eyes Of his fellows as the one who
has distinguished himself by pluck and
adroitness i'll the contests against
the rival clevenS. 1t is a rough
game, and demands courage, brain
and muscle. Professionals do not
play it, because it takes character
as well as strength to stand up bravely
in a scrimmage and to receive and give
hard blows without losing ones head or
forgetting to be courteous and good
natured. This season the teams are
very evenly matched: and it is. and will
continue to be, anybody's race, with
the odds iii no ones favor till the games
have been played. The sympathies of
st. Paul and Minneapolis are a little
with Yale. because three of its most
prominent players hail from these two
cities. HEFFELFINGER and MORRISON,
of Minneapolis, stand in the rush line
the right and left Of the center, and
everybody who knows anything about
it agrees that two better guards never
appeared on university team. Next
them comes WISrER, of st. Paul. who
has won his position by dlspiacing
veteran OF experience. and whose bold
ness and dash are the subjects of many
eulogistic comments in the Eastern pa
peers. Only those who are capable Of
hard work, self-denial, quick and intel
ligent action. are selected for Yale
football eleven. The GLOBE is proud

A LESSON OF LIFE.

A long days Journey there lay before:
l crossed the meadow at breaking morn;
/ saw the road wind by hill and moor
Beyond the hills was my distant bourne.
1 thought of the greeting should win
What was IL moaned at my feet, mean
while:
A poor old terrier, lame and thin
stopped and helped him over the stile.
Then would have crossed: but dreary yelp
Arrested me- and turned to view
A limping poodle whose need of help
Was manifest; and helped him, too.
OF every nation and tribe are they.
And each has a fresh resistless Wiie;
Each says in his own peculiar way:
Just help lame dog over the stiIe,''
They're greyhound Syke. Pomeranian;
They limp along in an endless file;
They're smooth or curly, they're black and
tan:
They all are lame and would cross the stile.
The shadows deepen DER hill and glen
Dim is my pathway of many mile
Yet Will renew my journey when
The last lame dog is over the stile.

record. She suggests that she could
remedy these deficiencies. were she at
tached to this papers staff and engaged
to look after its interests at the regular
rates.
The GLOBE can only say to her, by
way of apology, that its space is limited !;
and that even now, when the base ball
season is ended, it frequently is nable
to find room for the details of even all
the hangingS which are offered by its
correspondents. 1t would gladly avail
itself, however, of her services, were it
not afraid that her cast Of mind would
not work satisfactorily in subordinate
position. When married woman signs
her letters Mrs. JOHN JOHNSON, or Mrs.
Whatever-her-husban Shame may-be, it
is infallible proof of proud dis
position. She is evidently given
to caekling because she has been
received into the holy mysteries
of matrimOny. And when an unmar-
ried woman signs her letters Miss MIN
ERVA THOMSON, as does the GLOBE S
critic, it shows that she is a sprnster by
choice, ana pulled up because of her in
dependence; or that she is ambitious for
husband, and is advertising her single
station for the encouragement of suit
ors. Should the GLOBE take such a
woman into its employ. it would result
in the immediate and serious demorali-
cation of its general staff. If any woman,
married or single, is applying for posi-
ton with the GLOBE, or with anybody
else, let her sign her letter with the
Christian name which her sponsors in
baptism gave her, without honorary pre-
fixes of any sort or description. This
is the method of true humility, mOdesty
and good breeding.

CH1CAGO,S DILEMMA.

The irony of fate, the logic of events,
turn i'll her luck, or whatever phrase
may be applicable, has recently placed
the worlds fair city in an unenviable
position. At least. a majority of Chi
cagO's leading journals mournfully ad-
nit that the alleged OverZealOusness of
the city'S police authorities, in recent
raids upon radical sOcialiStic gatherings
held in lager beer saloons and other
places, has materially injured once
rosy worlds fair prospects. OF course
there ale conflicting opinions concern
ing the matter. and the various newspa-
pers are all by the ears over it. 1t is
notable, toe. that their editorial utter
anceS do not serve to quiet apprehen-
sions of incalculable damage to the
worlds fair project by the hasty action
ofChef of Police MCCLAUGHRY and his
miniOns. There may be, or may not be,
an element of truth in these fears. But
it is quite while yet before the open
ing of the fair, and 10 one can now
Judge with adequate precision the last
ing effect OF the present excitement.
On the other hand-and this should
be most encouraging to ChicagO-the
press of the country outside the Windy
City appears disposed to make light of
the late anarchistic fiasco, and, at the
same time. strongly indOrSeS the prompt,
decisive action of the Chicago police.
This tone of the American press indi-
Gates strong faith OH the part of Co.
100000 people in ChIcago's ability to
deal effectively with such latent traces
of anarchy as may yet remain after the
terrible scotchng of the snake in 1887.
Chicago may rest assured that her eX-
pected American visitors, at least, will
not remain away from the exposition
from any fears of anarchists. If Chi
cagO is unable to cope with the hydra
headed monster, 100000 men from the
Northwest, including the splendidly
organized state guards, are perfectly
willing to go on to Chicago and ami
hilate the roSy-handed rioters if they
are at all troublesome. That anar-
chist is not yet constructed who
can make dismal failure of
the worlds fair. With this as
surance, all Chicago and its labyrinth
of outlying suburbs can sleep in peace
Inc Northwest is with her, aud our pro-
tecting egs shall ever pe ready in her
defense. But there is another phase to
this rather ludicrous case of tempest in
teapot. Late developments in Chica-
gO'S police courts seem to indicate that
the city does not contain so many all
archists as it imagineS. In view of this
fact, an exercise of good Judgment on
the part of the Chicago police in arrest
ing alleged dynamiters and gOry-headed
conspiratOrS will do much to allay any
fears on the part of prospective visitors
to the fair. The recent excitement ap-
pears to have been precipitated through
lack of the judgment suggested. max

The impression is growing that the
final attainment for the trottIng horse

make that speed is not quite in sight.

that made the mile in 2 minutes 1917

she has lowered the time by go seconds.
At three years she clipped ~ seconds
from the year previous. AriOn, the
latest record breaker at two years,
is also a California horse, and it
is reasonable to assume that with
similar conditions he will develop
future gains on his time as did Sunol.
He should not reach his best for three
or more yerrs. Judging him by the
progress of Sunol, he will be an aston
isher, and come we'll down toward the
two-minute time before he passes his best
period. A reduction of five seconds
from his present time will give the most
rapid trOtting ever made by horse.
