VICAR or WAKEFIELD.

VICAR OF WAKEFIELD.
By Oliver Goldsmith. This beautifully ILLUS
trated edition of famous English classic will
increase its attractions for those who recognize
the claim 1T has as essentially a "home book
for the whole reading world. Goldsmith has
shed over the world the tenderest light of his
genius, and the pastoral scenes in it are I'M
rivalled, we had almost said unapproached, by
any other writer of fiction. AS Sir Walter
Scott said of it, ave read Vicar of Wakefield in
youth and in age, and return to it again and
again, AID bless the memory of an author who
contrives well to reconcile us to human ma
ture." The book, throughout its fascinating
pages, exhibits all the characteristic traits of

IT is preposterous at this time to as
sert that General Harrison or his friends
are secretly or otherwise engaged in
promoting his denomination in 1896.
Consequently all assertions of that char
acter should be regarded as the vapor-
ings of inexperienced, but ambitious and
imaginative, reporters. General Harri-
ence. People write to him for infOrma-
ton regarding important matters and
to make inquiries and requests of all
kinds. Courtesy requires that all such
letters be noticed. So far as the en-
campment is concerned. any person who
knows anything of the Grand Army
knows that no subject of partisan
characte. can be introduced or spoken
of. For twenty years the leaders of the
organization, comprising men of both
parties, have striven to keep it clear of
partisanship, and they have succeeded.
A post which should appear as a body in
political meeting would be disbanded
at once. Apublic meeting to promote any
mans candidacy in this city during the
encampment would he denounced by the
National Encampment as an insult.
General Harrison has been a member of
the Grand Army many years. The en-
campment is held in the city of his resi-
dence. For him to absent himself would
be regarded by his comrades and his
fellow-citizens as a discourtesy to the
Grand Army. He will be here during
the encampment. Doubtless thousands
of his comrades. irrespective of party,
will take occasion to express their re-
gard for the ex-Presdent who wears
the "button" IA they did for ex- Presi-
dent Hayes, or Generals Grant, Sherman
and Logan, whenever he appears in
public. Many veterans feel that he has
been their quiet champion in public po-
sition, and all know that to no member
of the Grand Army does it's cOmradeship
revive more precious memories. But
only those who are strangers to that
high comradeship or those who are al
ways suspicious, can see presidential
boom" in such expressions of regard as
General Harrison will receive from the
veterans who attend the encampmenc.

Mr.. LAsCELLEs CARR, editor of the
Western Mail. paper published at
Cardiff, Wales, has been travelling in
this country and writing letters to his
paper. In one of them he says:
The more see of this wonderful country
and the further my induIries reach the
more satisfied am that lt is the paradise
of the workingman, ana especially the
working woman. Wages are high and the
cost of living comparatively low. The
margin between the amount of money
necessary for q bare subsistence and the
ordinary wagerate is larger than anywhere
else In the world. If workingman and
his wife and family were content to live
here as they live in England they could
save money very rapidly. But they are
not so content. Except in the matter of
house accommodation their circumstances
are in every respect better than those of
their English brethren; they eat better and
more varied food; they dress better: they
have at least as good means of education
and other sources of intellectual and social
recreation. They are free from any sense
of the indignity of labor.
Every word o. this is true, and it is an
unansworable argument in favor of a
continuance of the economic policy that
has created such favorable conditions.

it would necessitate the opening of the

suggest that, as the Office on the grounds

it came under the general law which
authorizes postoffices to be kept open
during certain hours on Sunday. and it
was so decided. The able Dogberry

OHIOAGO,s CLAIM.

LII the New I DIRK papers are actuated
by truly high sense of journalistic
duty they contained yesterday morning
an item of news which must have made
their city readers rub their eyes and
murmur Where are we atp The item
was in the form of a dispatch from Chi
cago stating that, according to the new
directory of that city, it now contained
population of 2.160,0O making it "the
most populous city in America, beating
New York by 100000" Perhaps, how
ever, the New York editors eliminated
this heartless sentence, as also the rO-
bust statement of Chicago paper that
Eat single leap she places herself at
the head of the line of American cities,
and has entered into swift competition
with London and Paris for still higher
honors.n
If the claim were true it would cap
the climax of all Chicag0's marvellous
achiev ements, but candor compels US to
say that it rests on shaky foundation,
being based, as the dispatch says. on a
calculation of four inhabitants for ev-
cry name in the directory. That is not
fair. The usual rate of estimating popu-
lation on city directories is three persons
to name, and some cities estimate only
two and one-half persons to a name.
Thatrate has been adopted in this city, as
will be seen by reference to our
directories for the last few years.
Our directory for 1892 contained 3d.
COS names, and that for 1893 con-
tanned 55,025 names, and each year
the population was estimated at gig
persons to a name. The new Chicago
directory contains $4,000 names, and
on basis of 2lo inhabitants to a name
the population would be 100000. This
would be an increase of 100000 over the
census of 1890, and is probably not
far out of the way. unless the popula-
ton of the city has been greatly in
creased by the artificial process of an.
nexing distant suburbs. On a basis of
three persons to a directory name,
which, though rather high. is adopted
in some cities, ChicaRo's present popu-
lation would be 100000. This is about
100000 more than New York had in 1890,
but it must be remembered that New
York also is growing rapidly, perhaps
almost as rapidly as Chicago. On a
basis of 2l2 persons to directory name
the population of this city was esti-
mated in January last at 1863. On a
basis of four persons to a name 1t would
be 1901
Chicago is one of the great cities of
the world, but it cannot make itself
greater by making false claims. 1t is
very doubtful if it will ever surpass or
overtake New York. 1t would soon do
so if New York were standing still, but
it is not nor likely to for a long time to
come. No doubt Chicago is now the
second city of the country, but it lacks
a good deal of being the first.

EX-SENATOR INGALLs's recent article
on the negro question has raised n great
commotion among the cOiOred people of
Kansas. His statements, it Is claimed,
are of a character "derogatory to the
negro race and calculated to mislead
the reading public into the belief that
the colored man is little more than q
beast and not susceptible of any INTEL
lectual advancement" The colored
people ought not to take Mr.. Ingalls, too
seriously. He never means all he says.
