until after the National Convention in order
that the State platform might be so framed
rs TO conform TO that Ot the National Conyen-
tion. However, 1t seems TO be agreed that
should any sort of conflict or differences oc-
cur between the two some method will be de-
ylsod to reconcile them
Mr. Polk. OF the National Alliance. pro-
claims that III organizing and leading the
Third party he will not seek to disturb the
Democratic State organization. or oppose It's
ticket: that he IS fighting for national power.
Hence it is regarded as desirable and polltlc
10 have the State Democratic platform agree
with the national for should there be any dif-
terence Polk would no doubt point 10 II as en
indirect approval of his course by the North
Carolina Democrats He would contend that
the latter were not in accord with the party

FIFTY YEARS HENCE.
Probability That London's Inhab-
itants VIII Then Number Over
Seventeen Millions

A committee of the London County
Council, as well as a royal commits
sion, have been for some time consid-
ering the means of increasing the
water supply, which is inadequate
even for the present population. As
any of the works proposed could not
be constructed in less than ten years,
and as it would be absurd to arrange
for supply only just sufficient to
meet the wants of the city at the end
of that period, it has been decided
that the works should be on scale
commensurate with the probable num-
Der of inhabitants fifty years hence.
1t must be remembered that the
district now controlled by the London
County Council is less extensive than
the area whose inhabitants are entire
ly dependent on the metropolitan
water supply. The number of per-
sons in this latter area is five and
three-quarter millions, and, says the
New York Sun, it is their increase
which must be estimated before the
Quantity Of water needed half a CEN
fury hence cGn be defined. The esti-
mates will, of course, differ, according
to the factors of growth assumed.
If it be taken for granted that the
British metropolis will continue to
grow at the rate exhibited between
the censuses of 1881 and 1891, then in
1941 it will contain no fewer than
1882, $40 human beings.
If, on the other hand, we suppose
that the recent rate of progress can
not be kept mp, and that the metropo-
lis hereafter will only expand by the
natural increase of births over deaths,
then the population fifty years hence
will be l0,S36,9S9. If, finally, all
ratios of increase should be disre-
garded, and we should simply add
for each decade the precise number of
persons added in the ten years pre-
ccding 1891, we should obtain 1885,
6S7 as the population of 194l. After
weighing all the considerations that
might affect the calculation, the COM
mittee Of the county council deter
mined to accept 12,500,00O as the most
reasonable estimate of the population
of London fifty years hence, and they
accordingly recommended that the
scale of the new works should be
adjusted to this computation.

much affected that to harness OF I'M
harness them is a source of filth.
Rank, watery grass, musty or now

are the usual causes. The treatment
is easily affected by the removal of

abates the annoyance to man and
