II our contemporary will refer to the
latest compilations of statistics-the
World Almanac for 1896, for example-it
will find Richmonds population already
written with six figures.-Richmond Dis
patch.
That is the Worlds way OF doing
things. but will the Dispatch. which Is
a truthful and reliable paper. say that
II is so written correctly?-The Peters
burg Index-Appeai
The figures of the World Almanac were
furnished 1t by the Mayor of this CITY,
IL he intended &c claim for Richmond
100000 inhabitants within the present
boundaries Of the city II is likely that he
overshot the mark somewhat; but If he
included In his estimate Richmond and
her Henrico suburbs. which are part
OF this city for most business purposes,
we should say that his statement is nc
exaggeration.
We feel sure that Richmond and her
suburbs, and Manchester and her suburbs,
have a population of about 115.Ooo
The World Almanac gives as the popu-
lation OF Petersburg 5000. Is that an
exaggeration? 1t is the estimate of the
Mayor cf Petersburg.

II is said that the British B,ue-Book
throws upon Russia, primarily, the re-
sponsiblity for the non-intervention OF
the Powers IN Armenia. The explanation
given OF this charge Is that Russia is de-
out, as she fears that were the Powers
to interfere the Armenians might some
how gain their freedom and establish an
Independent State of their own, thus In
terpcsing a serious obstacle 10 Russian
advance In that quarter of the world. In
other words, II is said that the Car fears
another Balkan experience. such as re-
suited In the Independence Of Bulgaria,
and the erection Of very troublesome
barrier to the contamination of Russian
designs in Southeastern Europe. Further
more II is claimed that the Car thinks
that In the process Of wiping out the Ar
menians the Turks will become so weak
ened as to render them much easier prey
for Russia than they would otherwise be.
This is very important IL capable OF
proof, and throws a new, not to say no
vel, light upon the Armenian question.
Ii is not improbable that Russia's atti-
tude has been correctly defined, for no.
thing Is improbable In Russian policy; yet
up TO this time II has been generally sup
posed that Russia was willing and anx-
ious to march an army into Armenia
and was only prevented from so doing by
Great Britain, who feared that this would
be the first of a series of Russian strides
In the direction of the head of the Per-
sian Gulf.
Whether, however. the Blue-BooiS fixes
the responsibility above referred to on
Russia or not, Great Britain is not re-
lieved Of the odium, incurred through
Salisbury, Of wriggling out Of her obi
cations to see that the Sultan's Christian
subjects are protected. Never was Great
Britain placed in a more humiliating po-
sitson than Salisbury placed her In when
at the opening Of Parliament 10 speaking
to the Armenian question, he Inter.
preted" those obligations.

and Representative Turner. one spoke
ana voted for free silver; the other
against It.
7, view OF these facts, what sort OF

cratic National Convention lay down? IL
national conventions were MADE up as
state conventions are. there might DC
No dinicu,ty In forcing through the next

NO, q Democrat from any Northern State

The most difficult OF problems now awaits

National Convention will be so strongly

Again: The silver problem which the
NEXT Democratic National Convention VIII
have to solve will include necessarily
many questions as to persons. What lead
tnr democrat can be found whose posi-
tion on the silver question Will enable
him TO appeal as the champion OF either
the free coinage of silver or OF the otnef
side Of that knotfy question: Sound
money men, Il is assumed. VIII surely
refuge to touch free coinage. The friends
OF free coinage may decide TO be us un'
compromising as the other side.
So that the problem under consideration
Is one OF the most difficult OF solution
whether we undertake to commit tn
Democratic party to measure or to
man.
