The Way to Ruin.

Tho Rev. Dr. RArNsToRD advises people
not to attend costly and luxurious social
entertainments this winter, on tho ground
that "this is not time for such Affairs"
since they furnish texts for homilies on
the heartless extravaganza Of the wealthy in
the face Of poverty and restitution" In other
words, the rector of st. Georges would have
all such gayety and all expenditure upon 10
cease, because, as he says further, the lines
between the two classes. those who have
wealth and those who envy them" were
never more distinctly drawn" or course,
II people should not go to costly entertain
mcnts nobody should give them.
II. therefore. his advice were followed the
rich would have to refrain from all luxuri-
Gus indulgences which are obtainablo by
wealth only. The opera house would have
to be closed, and the great body Of people
deriving their living from Its maintenance
turned adrift. The theatres would have to
shut up, depriving Of employment other
hundreds Of men and women, for they arc
kept open lin the face OF poverty and
destitution," shut out from them because
Of inability to pay the price of ad-
mission. The traders whose business It
is to supply tho luxuries now demanded
by the rich would DO driven into bank
ruptcy. The great and luxurious hotels
would be empty. Servants would be dis
missed by thousands because they arc an
extravaganza denied to the poor.
Livery stables would have no. patronage.
All except the cheapest class Of restaurants
would be forced to shut up, and the bust
ness OF New York generally would receive
the heaviest blow from which 1t ever suf-
fered in its history.
The greatest injury that can be done to
the prosperity OF community comes from
enforced or voluntary economy on the
part of society. II every family in New
York should begin to-day to cut down its
expenditures by q small fraction only. the
sum Of the loss to trade and labor would be
SO vast that It would bring disaster to busl-
ness and industry generally. II the rich,
more especially, should cut of all "extrava-
gance. )" the consequence would be an ap-
palling increase In poverty and destitu-
tion, for trades employing thousands Of mon
and women would be deprived OF support.
DR.. RAINsFoRD. instead OF preaching TO
his rich pensioners that they should cur
tail their luxurious expenditures "in tho
face Of poverty and destitution." should
rather exhort them to spend their incomes
and not economic unnecessarily, and
more particularly at time when trade and
industry are in special need Of the stimulus
Of such free expenditure, or "extrava-
gance," as he calls It. II the advice he now
gives was followed by all those to whom he
addresses it, the number and the suffering
and the discomfort of the poor and destitute
would be increased portentously.

The United States.

Secretary OLSET's proposal for n treaty
OF arbitration between Great Britain and
America has stirred again the recollection
OF England's outstanding enmity to the
United States. In the past alone there Is
enough to make any loyal American shrink
instinctively from proposition that hence
forth tho United States shall submit the
adjustment Of any important dispute with
England to foreign arbitrator And
yet, compared to the present and future. the
past is as nothing.
To-day the United States is encircled by the
power Of England, from stations close upon
our coasts up to our very borders, all forth
fed and equipped for hostilities. No civil
lied country In the world Is 80 strategically
threatened by another as the United States
is threatened by England. It Is no exaR-
geration to say that the only country on the
globe which history and existing circum-
stances make our natural enemy lie England.
Only year ago II was revealed that Eng
land was on the verge Of new conquest on
the Western Hemisphere. declared by Presi-
dent MONROE to be hereafter forbidden to
foreign capture. The British Government
has dozen ports more useful for warlike
operations than the single little island Of
Heligoland, which Germany 30 mysteriously
acquired only a few years ago.
1t is beginning to DO more generally
understood that, IL this republic is to
fulfil its natural destiny in the world,
we must grow up with it. And yet we
hear, mainly. to DO sure, on the part OF
emotion, mugwumpery, and the ever timid
commerce, that 1t is high craftsmanship to
select England for a partner to whom We
shall give substantial pledge Of security
and federation.
Since BENJAMIN HARRISON left the White
House, with the exception OF the CLEVELAND
message on Venezuela, the guidance Of the
foreign affairs OF the United States has been

Doubt Cast on the Estimate OF Population
By the Health DepartasuG
To THE EDITOR or The suN-Str: There
would DO moro ground for satisfaction with the
figures given by Mayor Strong OF tho death
rate In New York city. II those figures were
based upon reliable census returns. Admitting
tho police census Of 1895 10 have been fairly
accurate, thoro had been no previous enumera-
tion OF Trustworthy character since 1880. or
for about fifteen yoars- The census OF 1890 was
VIGOROUSLY untrustworthy. and the local enum-
GRAFTON which followed II failed for equally
notorious reasons TO command public con-
TO have discarded both the national census Of
1900 and the subscqucnt enumeration under
State authority: and tho population IL ssti-
mated according to Farr's formula, on the
basis OF tho Federal census of 1880 and the
police census Of April. 1898.
That Is. the death ratio for fifteen years ID
based wholly on an estimate founded on Fairs
formula, or IL guess based on . guess The
floating and transient population Of New York 10
very great: the presence or absence OF \ humid red
thousand people or so makes but little iference,
and the tide Of population swells and recedes
with hardly a ripple peroeptible In tho current
OF uaffic. II must DO difficult to estimate the
population from year to year by any rule or
formula, and when estimates arc carried along
for nfteen years the results are likely TO DO
wholly misleading There is an opinion largely
prevalent that the death rate of the past year
does not compare as favorabiy with some recent
years as appears In tho estimates. II. NJ.
