Comparative Wealth OF England and
the United States.

The provisional estimate OF the wealth Of
the United States issued by the Census
Ofloe suggests comparison with some sta
tistics compiled by Mr.. CITIZEN. the Eng
lish statistician, with relation TO the United
Kingdom.
1t is. OF course. understood that for 1890.
as for $780, the basis of the computation
made by our census takers is the value
assessed In tho several States for taxation.
which, except in Massachusetts. Is very
much below the true value. In 1880 the
Census Office undertook to correct the as
sessed values which made tho wealth OF the
United States only SIG. 9O2. OOO. 900. and sub
stituted the much larger figures. $43.642.-
O00.000 II the same correction factor Is APP
piled to the returns for 1890. the true value
Of all property represented in the census of
the United States will be not $24.65l 100000
as reported. but s63.64s.OOo.0o 900. Even the
latter estimate falls far short Of the truth.
because In about half Of the United States
railways are not included In the property
taken account OF by our census.
In the absence. however. OF exhaustive
data. let us for the purpose OF comparison
assume that s6364s 100000 represents the
aggregate wealth Of the United States.
Now in 1886 Mr.. GIFFEN entered into an clab-
crate series Of calculations. In pursuance OF
which he fixed the wealth OF the United
Kingdom at $50. ooo. 0OO. 900. all railways and
every other species OF property being in
cluded. 1t follows that Of the two countries
the United States Is the richer by more than
thirteen thousand millions Of dollars. The
excess in our favor is really much greater.
because, as we have said the value Of the
railroads In about half Of our States Is not
reckoned.
AS Great Britain Is universally acknowl-
edged to be richer than any other Euro
pean State. we arc warranted in describing
our own people as the richest in the world
That Is to say. our aggregate wealth Is
greater: but II We accept Professionally
tho figures $es.64s 100000 as correct our
wealth per head Of population is less than
that Of the United Kingdom. Mr.. CITIZEN
rec1oned that in the latter country at the
date OF his computations rss5 the divisi-
BILE share of each person In the national
wealth was $3.50. whereas about $1,000
would be the divisible share Of each person
In the United States. 1t should be further
noted that according to Mr.. GIFFEN the
wealth Of tho United Kingdom increased
by $3.50 per head in the ten years preceding
1885. while In the decade between our two
last censuses the wealth Of our own coun-
try increased at exactly the same rate.

Tho English Nonconformists and Mr..
Gladstone.

While Mr.. GLADSTONE has made gains In
the metropolitan district where the work.
ingmen desire an extension Of the powers
OF the County Council. and in many coun-
ties where the farm laborers expect gen.
erous treatment at his hands In tho matter
of allotments. he has failed to carry num-
Der OF English boroughs In which the Nom
conformists arc strong. Up to 1886 the
Nonconformists were among his most I'M
wavering supporters. and 1t was with
the hope Of regaining them. and
In Difference to their demand. that
he compelled tho deposition Of Mr..
PARNELn from the leadership OF the Irish
Nationalist party. That act has cost the
Home Rulers a number OF seats in Ireland.
but it was expected that these losses. which
for some time have been foreseen. would be
counterbulanced in England by Noncon-
forInist voters who would recognize their
responsibility for the split in the National
list ranks. No such compensation. however.
Is forthcoming. The very men who forced
Mr. GLADSTONE TO repudlate Mr.. PAREELL
have now voted against him and his home
rule programme.
Tho grounds OH which the Nonconform-
lists have refused to recognize the obliga-
tiops which they seemed to assume when
thew insisted upon Mr.. GLApsroNE's ex-
pelllng Mr.. PAENELL from public life. are
stated in a pamphlet by Mr.. SAMUEL PLIM-
SOIL, the well-known champion OF English
scamen. Mr.. PLIMsOLL was . stanch ad-
herent OF Mr.. GLApsToHE's In 1885 and for
some years afterward. He has opposed

the moment. indeed. that the Irish leader
declined to withdraw from public life. il was
obvious that the tremendous weight OF his
personality could only be Offset by the Or

seem worse than the disease.
The truth is that the English Noncon-
formists. who are the lineal descendants OF
the Putitans, have at all times. while pre-
scribing high standard OF character for
public men. regarded religious opinions as
OF even greater consequence. II is not that
they hate immortality less. but that they de-
test what they coll Romanism more. They
were shocked when WILLIAM III brought
over his mistress from Holland. yet they
considered his private vice less unendur-
able than the Catholicism which his de-
posed father-in-law. JAMES H.. had
protested. There is no doubt that
IL tho Nonconfornist majority In an
English borough had to choose be-
tween Sir CHARLES dixie and Catholic
representative. they would return the for
mer. Unreasonable and out OF date as such
prejudices seem. they unquestionably exist.
una should have been reckoncd on from the
beginning. 1t was impossible TO win over
the Nonconformists by sacrificing Mr. PAR
NELL. unless Mr.. PARNELL was willing to be
sacrificed: for the influence which he had
acquired In Ireland could only be overcome
by an open and active intcrposition OF tho
Catholic priesthood at tho ballot box.
II Mr.. PARNFLL had consented to retire
from politics for tine--for instance, until
after the present general election-he
would probably be alive to-day; not single
Irish seat would have been lost by the Ma
tionalist party, and Mr.. GLADSTONE would
have recovered the whole English Noncon-
formist vote. The Irish leaders, return to
public life Mt some time subsequent to his
marriage could probably have been ar
ranged without offence to Nonconformist
sentiment. All men must now see that.
whether his own interest or that OF his
country DO considered. MIR. PARNELL made
fatal mistake when he refused to obey the
reluctant but peremptory fiat Of his fellow
Nationaists and lighted the torch Of fac
tional disunon which has proved SO often
the curse Of Ireland.

"Aud Mono Knew which from T"other"-
SO Mr. Mckay Labelled Them.

William Mckay Of TO East Seventh street.
Long Island City. the father OF three rretty
baby girls born on Sunday afternoon. didn't
go to work yesterday. He stayed at home to
try and prevent his neiGhbors and friends
from mixing up the babies. They are as lear
alike as three PEAS III a pod. SO when they
were born different colored ribbons were tied
around them. Mrs Mckay thought 1t would
be II good idea to name them before they be-
came mixed up. 80 tho eldest ono was called
Rachel She was about five minutes older
than the second. who was named Leah. while
the third WAS named Annie.
Thus far the babies. the mother. the doctor.
and the nurse got along oil right But the
father is having n hard tme Of it. All three
babies have blue eyes and fair hair. and when
they were placed in n row alongside their

happy couple learned Of the new arrivals that

mother and nurse came to their rescue and all
three babies again found resting place close
to their mothers side. Then the mother and
nurse were called on to say which was which.
but they, too. disagreed. and Mrs. Mckay was
so ysXed that she almost cried.
When MIR. Mckay was informed OF the stuR-
ton he resolved to knock of work and stay nj
home aud try and keep the relatives and
friends Of the babies in check. Since they had
become so mixed up that no one knew which
was which. he resolved to rename them. 40
cordingiy. one was Gale Annie. for its mother,
and q broad piece OF brown ribbon WAS tied
around her little waist. Then a piece OF blue
ribbon was tied around the next. and she was
