Tho Future United states.

"The population of the United
States will increase for many years
yet, but never again In 50 great a
ratio as during the last century,"
said Prof. Howard w. Shaw, now at
the Southern. "This country can
support a population Of 100000, 900
much more easily than France can
support her 40, 1000, 900, but after we
touch the hundred million figure our
increase will be slow. 1t is cheap
homes and high wages that now at
tract immigration. Low-priced land
will soon disappear and with 1t will
90 high wages, despite the wisdom Of
statesmen. Then, instead OF a con.
slant stream Of homeseekers pouring
into America, considerable stream
will pour out towards the fertile
lands Of South America and Southern
Africa. Uncle Sam will probably be-
gin the twentieth century with 3d.
600, 900 people; he will do well II he
ends it with an increase Of 20, 900, 900.
BY that time-the beginning Of the
twenty-frst century-we will be q
homogeneous people. There will be
no longer Irish-Americans and Ger.
man-Americans, but everybody will
be American pure and simple. The
many streams that are now flowing
hitherward from all parts OF Europe
will have amalgamated, and the re,
suit will be one Of the best balanced

ENDEAyORERs, CONVENTION.
ANIessage From the Founder OF the Great
Organization.

Organization.
The International Christian Endeavor
convention of 1897 held the past week
at San Francisco, will pass into history,
in some respects, as the greatest and
most memorable Of oil its fifteen pre-
decessors.
An attendance Of more than 40, 900,
q registration of over $4,000 actual
Christian Endeavorers, which is equal
to an attendance Of 20, 900 in any large
eastern city, when We remember that
half of the attendance cross the Rocky
mountains in order to reach the con-
vention.
But better far than number and
more worthy of note was the spirit OF
the convention; its earnestness; its
genuine ring; its high spiritual quail
ties.
1t brought blessing to California;
it will leave blessing to California;
it will leave q blessing behind it and
all the delegates will take blessing
home with them as they scatter to the
remotest parts of the world.
FRANCIS E. CLARK, President.
The foregoing message, written for
the Associated Press by the founder
and leader OF the Christian Endeavor
movement, concisely summarized the
work of the convention. ..

NATIONAL GUARD ARMS.

The question of providing new rifles for the
National Guard Of this State Is now before the
LEGISLATURE In several different forms. 1t fol
lows naturally after the elaborate series OF tests
and experiments with different weapons made
last year. 1t is probably desirable that it should
he settled promptly. 1t Is certainly most de-
srable that il should be settled as permanently
ms possible. and that 1t should be settled right.
Frequent changes Of arms are costly, and they
demoralize the service and seriously impair its
efficiency. Some European countries spend mill
ions n wear i'm new arms, which are no sooner
adopted than they are discarded for something
supposed to be better. That may be necessary
under miltarism 1t is not here. 1t ought to be
possible to select weapon that will be the best
of its class at the present moment and that Will
be good enough for all practical purposes for
considerable term Of years.
What is of especial Importance, in fact Of al
most greater importance than the excellence OF
the arm chosen. Is uniformity Of equipment.
That all the militia Of the State should have the
same kind of rife and ammunition goes without
saving That is fully intended. But that Is
not enough. The militia of all the States should
have the same equipment and the same general
scheme Of tactical discipline which should be
Identical or as nearly identical as possible, with
those of the Regular Army. Thus, and only
thus. can the service be made a truly NATIONAL
Guard. A regiment Of militia may never be
called upOn TO serve outside Its own State or
TO cooperate with the militia Of another State.
But il II ever should do so, the value OF such uni
forInity would be apparent. Indeed, without
such uniformity the efficiency OF the soldiers
would be impaired.
Before this State commits itself TO new rife
nnd lncurs the expense Of procuring It, therefore,
every possible effort should be made, by confer
ence with the Federal military authorities and
otherwise, to move In the direction Of uniform

MONEY AND RISINESS.

One would need to be entirely blind to exist
ing events and conditions In order to take a
gloomy view Of things at present. But per-
haps there has never been time when it was
more necessary than It Is now to take notice of
the exact meaning Of the records which bust
ness automatically makes for Itself When
stock transactions are remarkably small. last
week only 10000 shares, gradual decline in
prices shows the patience OF holders wearing
out, but steady and strong prices mean that
1t is the spectators for decline whose hopes
are giving out. The cool steadiness Of holders,
the demonstrated impossibility of soaring them
with even the most grotesque stories. ended in
a closing average of $40 rs for railroad stocks.
against S4S 40 the week before, and the aver
age advance for the last month has been 81 81
per share for the sixty most active railroad
stocks and 81 10 per share for the trust stocks.
When holders so long refuse to SELL even though
bombarded with reports Of the most sensational
sort. 1t is an evidence that they think things
ripe for advance.
So in the Industrial world, which is by far
the most certain indication OF future condi-
tons when business Is tagging and waiting.
and yet without any yielding in prices. the pre-
vailing confidence stands the severest test.
Ever since the various trusts and combinations
broke UP IN the IRON anu steei lluuslfy,
than a month ago, the average OF all prices of
such products has remained practically where
IL is now the range between the highest and
the lowest point being less than per cent The
same waiting conditions have prevailed In textile
goods without change OF more than per cent in
the average Of prices Of cotton goods. and not
more than ~ per cent in woollen goods. Prices
of boots and shoes have also been waiting but

OF solid confidence In the face OF waiting mar
kets.
The greatest change has occurred In the iron
and steel industry. The collapse of important
combinations, while causing vast amount OF
new business and setting many establishments
at work with their armies OF workers, has tended
as yet to encourage more increase In production
Of material than In demand for finished prod
