ENGLISH BECOMES A NECESSITY.
English officials in India assert that 1t
becomes more important every year for
the natives there, and wherever England
has possession, to learn the English lam
guage. 1t Is the opinion OF Mr. Glad
stone, and OF economists who understand
the forces at work, and the Characters
ties of the people interested, that the
United States will be victorious in the
struggle for industrial supremacy, with
England following. 1t Is Il matter OF ex-
perience that language follows commerce.
This warrants the expectation that Eng
lish will become the. common language
of Japan and OF all the Americas, where
the interests OF both England and the
United States are constantly growing.
The great body of African natives have
but little concern for civilized man. 1t
Is probable they will suffer the fate of
tho American Indians, and the natives
of South America and Australia will be
overwhelmed by the energetic colonists
from other parts of the world.
1t is obvious that the first great field
for the increase OF English-speaking peo-
pie is the United States. 1t has been
estimated that at the close of the next
century the population Of this country
will be more than 5O0,O00.OO0, which would
leave it's density of population to the
square mile exclusive Of Alaska) still
below that of Germany This is not ex-
travagant 1t Is the law Of Nautilus
that If there were no wars, famines, cpl
denies, or other special cause OF death.
the natural increase would double the
population every twenty-five years. For
many years this country will receive fe-
cund immigrants from Europe; the con-
ditions OF living have improved almost
incredibly in this century; sanitary
science has been discovered and applied
10 the abolition of plaques. and a great
lowering of the death rate; moderation
I'm the use OF alcoholic drinks has been
promoted, and people arc better fed,
clothed and housed than ever before,
while mechanical inventions have re-
lieved them Of the severest toll. We
should consider, too, that intelligence is
spread through many agencies, and that
men take better care OF themselves. All
these things indicate that the future
growth in numbers will. at the least,
compare favorably with the increase in
the passing century. In the case Of no
other people does any such ratio OIL
growth seem possible. That any other
tongue than English should make its way
into universal use does not appear rea-
sonable. The increase from 100000 10
100. 10000 In eighty years Is a fact OF
stupendous significance in comparison
with the statistics Of the rest OF the
world
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-01-27

virllity. and the intellectual iargeness OF
the English stock, that give this promise.
Both English speech and character have
already been improved. The Latin eie-
ment has given to our speech a distinc-
ton and dignity 1t originally lacked. and
the Norman element has saved the
English character from its early dulness.
Ii is easy to see what the tendency
Is. only eighty years ago. within the
time of men still living, there were In all
the world but 30.o00,0o0 OF people who
spoke English. To-day the people who
use the language as their own number
120.O00.000 In spite Of wars, pestilence,
and famine, so common in the first half,
they have doubled every forty years.
This can be said Of the people OK no
other tongue. Included among the Eng
disappearing race are the immigrants
TO the great republic, whatever their
mother tongue; for their children inevi-
tably acquire English, the official Ian
guage of the country. The Following
statement shows how much more rapidly
the people who use English increase than
others: In a period of twenty years the
population increase I'm the United states
was 63 per cent: in England and Wales,
q per cent; Germany, q per cent;
there was, virtually, no change. Al
ready one fourth of the civilized world
Including Russia In Europe) is English
speaking; or, II we include the entire
native, uncsvilized, and also immigrant
population OF South America, Central
America, and Japan, it Is Il per cent.
of all. The people of Russia proper
constitute IS per cent; Germany, 3 per
cent: France per cent. Austria
Hungary. per cent, and Italy and Spain
about per cent. each.
EXTENT OF ENGLISH RULE.
Among the conditions favorable TO the
spread OF English is the influence of Eng
lish rule over millions of people of differ
ent tongues. The English-speaking races,
and all those that are embraced I'm the
British empire-the aggregate OF those
already English or directly subject to its
infuence-constitute nearly one-half of all
the world, exclusive only OF the Chinese
and the unknown natives OF Africa. Sci
ence regards the angle-eyed yellow race
as an instance Of arrested development,
incapable Of complete assimilation with
the white races. But disregarding this
opinion of the modern anthropologist and
including the Chinese. still the English
speaking race and those under it's rule
and influence constitute one-third OF the
known population Of the world. Following
is an interesting and instructive state
ment showing the present population of
each nation and its colonies Gin which the
mother tongue is used), and also the ag-
gregate number of people who use the
mother tongue and those Of other tongues
under their rule and influence

A Cambrian Professorship,

IA movement which has been for
twenty years under contemplation
among Welsh people in this county,
for the endowment gf n Welsh or Cam
brian professrrship in some American
college, has been given a definite shape
recently as the result of a meeting of
prominent Welsh American citizens ut
Cincinnati. Marietta College, Mariet-
ta, Ohio, has been selected as the iDsti.
tuition where the ,ofessorship is to be
esta blished, and influential commit
tees have been appointed to solicit
contributions to the amount of at least
fifty thousand dollars from the sympa-
thizers with the enterprise.
"The main object of the chair which
it is proposed to endow will be the
teaching of Welsh history, biography,
language, literature and cognate sub
, jec.s. 1t is intended also that atten-
tion shall be given TO original research
into the influence of Welsh thought,
culture and achievement upon civiliza'
tion: to the study of the ethnology and
archaeology of the race; to the study
of the local history of Welsh commun-
tiles, and to the collection and preser-
vation of the art, music and literature
of the nation.
"These are worthy objects, and they
doubtless will appeal strongly to
American citizens of Welsh nativity or
.l,~ tpiv ~, ha Na,x
World an affectionate and patriotic re-
gard for their old home. There nre
few elements entering largely into our
national life whose literature is SO
largely a sealed book to their fellow
citizens, or the details of whose history
are less widely known. The proposed
professorship VIII be means for sup
plving these DEFICIENCIES, while it mini
stersto the just pride of Welshmen;
and the site which has been selected
for it is geographically central one
10 far as regards the distribution of our
Welsh population, and is otherwise
fitting and convenient"
We copy the above from the Boston
Journal of August 2sth, 1898 This is
the first the people of Marietta have
heard of the details of the movement
to found Cambrian Professorship in
Marietta College. The Communication
or rather editorial quoted was evident
ly inspired as it goes into particulars.
The fifty thousand dollars will no
doubt be great help to the college at
this time of financial depression, and
such professorship at the institution
will show the breadth and ambition
of the management for future growth.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt.

Colonel Roosevelt, like all other
brave men who show heroic qualities
when the occasion offers. has never
for a moment thought of setting him
self up as a popular idol. He is an
eminently practical gentleman who
certainly never stops to dream of
glory or to ask himself anxiously
whether his name will live in the an
nails of his country. He has simply
developed taste for public work,
while the excellent habit of doing
what seems to be his immediate duty
has worn for itself deep rut in his
character He has learned OF perform
public tasks with that same avidity
and concentration of purpose that
many other men of similarly energet-
ic temperament devote to the prosecu-
tion of money-makipg schemes or to
tivate any of the arts or lodges of the
popularity-seeking politician. Never
theless he is popular in spite of him
self, because he deserves to be and be-
cause the entire country has now dis
covered the sterling worth which his
friends have long recognized. The
people of New York would be delight
ed to elect him governor in November
though the people have very little part
in the selection of candidates. Next
month the electoral conditions in var
ious states will have assumed definite
shape. The prospect, of course, now
is that the Republicans will be sweep
ingly successful in the election of a
new Congress ,and that the successful
prosecution and termination of the
war will have favorable effect upon
the fortunes of Republican State and
local tickets,-Review of Reviews for

building warships for everybody
Even now, he says, 'rhe United
States is able to build much cheaper
than Germany or England" The Daily
