A Proposition for Municipal States.

\ plan for creating three " municipal
States is proposed and defended by Mr..
JOSEPH II. TEwES in the Chicago Nsscs.
The increasing tendency Of population to
concentrate in cities Is the basis OF his
argument. At the time Of the first national
census in 1890 less than per cent. OF ths
population lived in the cities in 1890 it had
increased 20 nearly So per cent. and in
1920. Mr.. IRWIN estimates, fully oue-hllf
will be urban. Already % per cent. Of the
population OF New York is in SO cities and
towns Of 5000 inhabitants and over: IS
per cent. in Pennsylvania IS in 81 towns,
and ~ per cent. in Illinois is in 81 towns.
NJ. IRwTN estimates that lE the re1E CEN
sus these three States will have Jointly a
ratio Of about s5 per cont. in cities and
only IS per cent. in the " rural dis1ricts.'
The three municipal States fer whose
creation Mr.. TRwTS argues are the three
cities OF the Union having over one million
inhabitants. or New York. with 5, 800, 900
in 1900; Chicago, with the somewhat
eIuberant estimate OF =. 100, 900, ard Phila-
delphii- with 400, 900. He would have
each take N adjoining counties to furnish
sufficient territory 20 form a State and pro-
tecT IT'S maritime interests thus ilcrsas-
ing their population in 1900 TO 1000, 600,
1850. 900, and ,, $50, 600 respectively, and
thinks that there should be no difficulty
IN obtaining the approval Of the States con-
cerred ard the Consent Of Congress" Final
", he would have the new municipal
States" cut OF IN time to participate as
such in the next Presidential election.
Mr.. IRWIN IS evidently sanSuire man
Even if there Ought TO be No difficulty
about the matter, actually there would De
great and probably i1suruoCnrabte diff
Guilty. No State would willingly cut or
from its dominion the centre Of its wealth
and population: nor is there any tadica-
tion that the cities themselves would be
prepared TO advocate such IN eIcisior-

On general principles, ]Ir. IRwIS's prpr-
osi-ion Is unsounG ari vicious. The sepa.

. rural States IS not desirable

The Men for the Guns

To-day and tomorrow are sec apart in the

this bill provides for the care and handling

out that, under current contracts. there
should be mounted before July l next
159 heavy guns and 10 Lighter oues, with
232 mortars, making an aggregate OF SSf
pieces. The pending bill. which adds
1870 men and 81 officers To the arttI-
lery. and, ut the Presidents discretion Is
more enlisted men at the utmost. or pos
sible aggregate Of noe over l.IOo, Is 60 take

only there would there be any chance OF AZ
tack u case Of trouble with Spain. But n
due time every State On the seaboard would
reap an advantage IN security from such ar
addition TO the artillery forces. while surely
the interior is concerned in the safety Of
the coasts.
Under the circumstances the argument
for this bill is 50 overwhelming that oppo-
attion must ne cllssei as unreasonable

Street Names and Numbers.

The proposed comprehensive rearranSe-
msns' Of the street names and street num-
eers within the enlarged New York. to do
away with the chances of confusion. so far
as is possible. is said TO include the abolition
of all names OF places used a. destgna-
tions for numbered streets.
It was Il custom in old New York for the
inhabitants Of a block of houses reserved
from the encruachments OF tenements,
stores factories, or public buildings. to
secure for it the official designation OF
place as 4 substitute for street, and
thereby establish for it the distinction OF
being what was called q residential
block Some such places" are Spencer
place, part of Wess Fourth street: Clinton
place, OF West Eighth street; Columbia
place, of East Eighth street; Mitchell
place, Of East Forty ninth street Nelson
place, OF Mercer street; st. Clements 5
place, in MacdouSal street; st. Likes
place, in Leroy street; Vannes6 place. in
Charles street; Varick place. in Sullivan
street Rutgers place, Roslyn place, Ludlow
place. Linden place, and so ou.
When the city was smaller and the op-
porrunIties of confusion were fewer than
they are at present, the objection Co such
designations Of New York streets, some OF
them being duplicated in Brooklyn, was
less serious than it is now, and to avoid the
confusion OF duplex set OF numbers it
is probable that the places viii 60.
