THE FUTURE GREATEST.

BY the New York State census now
approaching completion, whose substan-
tial accuracy we may for the present as
sumo, though it is under rather suspi-
cious management, the population of
New York city is placed at 1,7s9,6S4,
with three districts missing. The popu-
lation of Brooklyn is fixed at 955,3 ,31O, and
of Kings county 9ss,O77. Added. the
metropolitan population is thus 9,744.-
59i. If to this again be added a wider
suburban sweep which would embrace
Yonkers on the north, Mamaroneck on
the northeast, Long Island City, Ja-
maica and other towns on Long Island
and Staten Island to the South. the
"greater New York" would probably
start its career with very close upon
three million inhabitants. And there is
still chance of such splendid consoli-
dation.
Will New York ever be the world
metropolis? The figures irresistibly
suggest that conclusion. IL is true that
London has big start, but the acceler-
ated rate of growth in our own city is an
element not TO be lost to sight. For a
period of eighty years London has
grown at a pretty well established rate
of twenty per cent. each ten year period.
New York's rate has fuctuated more,
but has always been above 40 per cent
for each decennial period, if Senator
Hills census is TO be believed as TO its
later growth. lt is and has been, in any
case. considerably higher than London's.
Brooklyn's rate of increase was, for "a
ten-year period, 42 per cent; for n
twelve year period, 90 per cent. IL is
believed that at present Brooklyn is
growing much faster than New York,
and much faster than from 1880 TO 1885.
Suburban communities beyond its bor-
ders are growing even more rapidly.
The ratio for the whole region is proba-
bly, not far from 4j per cent. for every
ten years. Supposing, for convenience,
that London is just twice as large as
New York now. and that ascertained
rates of growth were TO continue. New
York might expect 20 catch mp with the
British Brobdignag about 1921, the
younger city having i'm the meanwhile
become n by no means inconsiderable
settlement Of eleven million souls.
How about Chicago VIII the hnst
ling town by the unsalted Michigan let
New York keep ahead of herr Pro-
badly she will be obliged TO content her
self with second place. But there is
the seed of n mighty city at the great
lakes headwaters. and modern methods

The Journals Washington CORE
spondent, whose vast and varied stores
Of political misinformation never fails to
interest and amuse the reader who does
not come to be instructed, argues woe to
the Republicans of New York because OF
the jealousy of the Miller and Platt
wings of the Republican party. 1t is an
ingenious theory at which he clutches
like a drowning man at a straw that
" The Miller men would not go into the
election or the campaign of 1892, unless
there was first reorganization of the
party in New York that would give new
leadership. Not necessarily that of Mil
Ter. They were not tenacious on that
point, although they believed that Mil
Ter could do better than Platt." He
thinks so because a conveniently anony
nous Miller man told him so.
That there has been q little jealousy be-
tween Miller and Platt, and that it cul-
minated when Erhardt was removed from
the Custom House TO make room for
Fassett. is undeniable. 1t is probable
also that desire to "get even with"
Fassett interfered somewhat with that
pure and able leaders attempt to carry
New York last fall. But when the sue
cess of the Republican party in ma
tional election is at stake, the "half
breeds" would not be outdone by any one
in their efforts to win success. Espe-
cially would this be the case if
Blaine were the nominee. The tenn
per of these men is sufficiently
indicated by last Tuesdays charter cleo
tions in New York. when in the very
regions where the conflict of the half
breed and stalwart had of old been most
bitter--as in Utica, scene of the feud Of
Roscoe Conklng and Ellis ii. Roberts
the smost significant Republican victo-
ries were gained. "E. G.. DIS" dispatch
reads as if he had written it before the
Tuesday elections and had not cared TO
alter it afterward. For ''E. G.. d." is
mot so ignorant of New York politics as
to misiuterpret the lesson Of those efec-
tions. though he might willfully pretend
to do SO.
But how amusing to see Journal
correspondent hoping against hope and
arguing against argument that Hill
might be able TO carry New York in
spite of Cleveland bolt Is the Journal
getting ready to eat crow?

The silver skirmish in the House to-
day brings out one fact in the beautiful
bright sunlight of publicity; the only
opponents of immediate consideration
are the little band of eastern Democrats,
led by George Freddie Williams, who
are desperately afraid of losing their
seats and their temporary prominence
before the country. Honest Democrats
and Republicans alike want the issue
fairly made as soon as possible. Repub-
licans ask nothing better than to fight
the campaign out for protection, reci-
procity and honest money.
