The state of public sentiment in the

This may be meant as a threat for

q logical conclusion legitimately derived

1tseems hard that, when tho people OF Ku-
sale want to be annexed to our country and
we want to annex them, there should be no
prospect Of their coming under our flag
but Germany's purchase OF the whole group
OF Carolines from Spain makes it unlikely
that she would part with this island at the
eastern end OF the chain, so that the petit
ton OF the King and other head men to
Congress through President MCKINLEY will
hardly be Immediately fruitful.
Kusaie will be recognized under its other
names OF Ualan and Strong's Island as the
island which we lately sought to buy of
Spain for cable and naval station, during

Like other volcanic Islands, Kusaie Ia

its valuable timber is specially suited for
ships and dry docks, being very straight,
long, durable and able to resist the salt
water worm. Tho products are those
usually found in the tropics, and food is
abundant with little cultivation For us
the principal value OF the island would be
less its products than its suitability for a

poses. 1t is said to be hcalthful.

At least nine out Of ten Of the peculiar

The Tout Turns on Dewey.

II in descending from a railway carriage
at any station in Europe or America you
should politely decline to accept the adj
vice OF u tout for some particular hotel
or sanitarium, and the tout should there
upon turn around and begin to tell exasper-
ating lies about you to all corners, what
would you think Of the tout?
You would regard him not only as very
ungentlemanly person, but also as hire
ling who didn't understand his business
and didn't look after the true interests OF
his employers.
That is about what has happened in the
case OF Admiral GEORGE DEWEY and Mr..
JAMES GORDON BENNETT. proprietor Of the
Paris edition OF the Nep York Herald and
the New York edition OF the Paris Herald
Upon the Admiral's arrival in Europe
Mr.. BENNETT welcomed him publicly with
CHASTITY dissertation upon maladies of the
liver and abdomen. and urged him, with all
the speclous arguments known to the
touting profession, to go for cure not to
Carlsbad but to Vichy. in the interest of
the waters and hostelries whereof the Eu-
ropean edition of the New York Herald
and the New York edition OF the Paris
Herald are manifestly retained.
What penalty does the hero OF Manila
pay forignoring Mr. BENEFITS suggestions
as to the best place to which to carry his
liver for treatment?
The Paris Herald and the Ne,u York
Herald yesterday printed bogus inter
view purportng to have been held with
Admiral DEWEY at Trieste on Friday by
one OF Mr.. BENEFITS deputies, and exhib-
iting the Admiral to public ridcule as
sea-going ass beyond compare.

Is falsely represented as saying, among

A Striking Illustration OF Urban
Growth.

In monograph on Tho Growth OF Cities
In the Nineteenth Century" published for
Columbia University, DIR. ADNA FERRIN
WEBER exhibits the change which hun
dred years have wrought, by means OF this
very original and effective comparison:
1890.
Population OF tho United States.. .... 892p,2I<
Population OF cites OF 10000 and
more ...,.......,................ 12s.56l
Proportion living In cities of 10000
and more'..... 8.1+ per cent.

Population Of the seven colonies Of
Australia. $500, S96
Population of cities OF 10000 or
more l,26+, 2S3
Population living in cities OF 10000
or more 20 per cent.
The population OF Australia in 1891 was
almost exactly that OF the United States q
century earlier. The conditions of race,
climate, society and politics are more
nearly Identical, perhaps, than in any
other two cases Of national development
in the whole history of the world. Yet,
while in the United States hundred years
ago only one-thirteth of the entire popula-
ton was urban, in Australia now one-third
OF all the people are gathered in cities.
This change has gone on during the past
century all over the world and it's results

the statistics Of modern civilization.
