1t is noted that while France laments
the fact that her population is stationary
Germany boasts broken record OF
increase in 1898 In that year the excess
of births over deaths was Si5.S7i about
G2.OO0 more than it was in 1881. and
twenty-five times as great as Frances
numbers for the year. or. as the Ger
man newspapers rather exultantly put
it, the excess Of German births over
deaths in 1898 was greater than the tota
number OF births in France for any year
There were 2,G9sH little Germans born
that year and 1891 ,l26 the year before.
The yearly average for the ten years
from 1889 to 1888 was l,9s,SSl. The num-
Der of marriages in Germany is steadily
increasing and furthermore. in 1898 more
Germans than usual abstained from
dying. the number of deaths being 49,
go. whereas. the yearly average for the
decade is .226. So
In commenting on this, contemporary
remarks that more Germans are born
every year. with fewer dying and fewer
emigrating, while France stands still, OF
retrogrades, means fainter hopes for tho
latter OF recovering the lost provinces
and a poorer chance of succeeding IN
colonial expansion" That would seen

TO RINET MONOPOLY.

The Charleston 6. c. News and Courier
also sees behind the opposition TO the
seaboard consolidation scheme the hand
Of interests that are not individual Or,
as our Charleston contemporary expresses
It. there is a "Troian horse" in the fight
against the great enterprise. 80 impor-
tant to the further development Of the
South by the opening mp Of new territory.
and the insuring of railway competition,
which competition as the Charlotte
On. c. Observer so well said the other
day, IS as much needed in this section as
is any other The agents OF the Seaboard
Airline in the vicinity Of Charleston,
says the News and Courier have nothing
fresh to report; they are simply pegging
away at the work that was in hard be-
fore obstacles OF all sorts were piled up
I'm the path OF the railroad that IS be-
coming too powerful to please others.
The work between Charleston and Au-
gusta, Ga, adds our Charleston contem-
porary, is being rapidly pushed ahead, but
It looks as if war IS being declared against
the Seaboard in the Georgia city.
The News and Courier then asserts that
everywhere that there is any clash of
railroads. in which the Seaboard Airline
IS concerned, there is on endeavor 10
spring a union depot project as a kind OF
cuttlefsh to muddy the waters and, i'm
conclusion, describes q depot scheme at
Augusta, which would practically shut
the Seaboard out Of a very desirable
position" ami leave # only a very mar
row strip OF land, too small for railway
terminals of any sort.
This policy, like the injunction pro
ceedings against the Seaboard. and efforts
to estop the consolidation by legislation,
may be business" from the opposition
standpoint, but it is business" which, II
successful would be at the expense OF
the progress and prosperity of the South.
Every step taken by the rivals of the
Seaboard, that will in any wise interfere
with the complete naturalization of the
consolidation scheme. represents the
clnching of a riyet in a collar of mo-
nopoly around the SoUth's neck. From
that contention there is no getting away

| OF our progress and the troubadour OF our
| successes. To his captivating address, bus
mess sense. and ready wit Richmond Is
largely indebted.
| Again, we are entitled 10 boast OF tho
wonderful growth OF our banking insti-
! tutions and OF the influence for good they
have been in our industrial development.
| Richmond took the lead In equipplng
herself with trolley cars. Now We have
two great systems In operation. "the
new" and "the old." During the coming
! year the latter IS 10 be recognized,
| freshly equipped. and made equal TO It's
competitor. than which nothing more
| could be asked. The construction OF
| subway for electrical wires IL progressing
| rapidly. and will be finished In few
months. It's prime purpose IS TO carry
wires for light and power from the James
river works TO all parts OF the city, but
we doubt not that In time II VIII become
also. tie receptacle Of many wires when
now disdguro our streets.
Richmond is also growing in population
ana wealth. Evidence OF the latter fact
is found I'm the readiness and abundance
with which home capital comes TO the
support OF great enterprises, while the alb.
sence OF vacant houses shows that
new people are making their homes here
II we speak Of Richmond as 1t exists
within its corporate bounds we suppose
our population can be put down at lO'cD
but including Manchester, and other
urban and suburban territory, it is 10000.
A movement is now on foot, which we
hope will result sooner or later In making
'Big Richmond Bigger Richmond.
We have the word OF thousands Of
strangers for it that Richmond has a
charming situation. Here. too. thickly
cluster memories Of the Revolution
and OF those four years when our
city was the Confederate capital and
the prize for which armies contended
with stubborn steel. Here are many
sacred and imposing memorials Of
precious past. and here is a popu-
lafion which delights 10 honor the
gouth's heroes Here. also, Is a city
throbbing with Industrial activity, bust
ling with business life, and ambitious TO
make itself a great mart, and with bet
ter prospects, withal, than ever before IN
all its long history. Formerly II was
said by some that southern whites did
not know how TO work. There was never |
much justice in that taunt, but the Rich
mond OF to-day is incontestable proof |
that it would be wholly baseless now.
AS the old year silently fades into the
fathomless past, and the bells ring in the
new, let our hearts leap with gratitude
for the blessings that have been ours.
And when we conform TO the vogue of |
the season, let our good resolution be to |
do more for Richmond. and for human |
kind generally in 1900 than ever before
in our lives. Then, indeed, shall we put |
soul into the customary salutation as |
matter how high or how low he may be
"a Happy New-Year; may you live long |
and prosper"

VOTE ON CONVENTION.

Tho Divnatch believes the majority OF
the people OF Virginia wish to see a con-
yentlon called to revise and amend the
state Constitution. Equally sure are We
| that most OF the members Of the Legisla-
ture will vote for Mr.. Floods bill SUD-
hitting the question to the people. But
we find prevailing a difference OF opinion
as to whether the popular vote shou'u
be taken in May or November isOl.
November. 1900, IS not mentioned in this
connection That viii be the presidential
eIection-a time when the Republican vote
usually Is brought out to its fullest, anf
when more money s. sent here from the
North to help the Republican Campaign
committees than at any other time. Prac-
tically speaking. It follows that the
choice OF the time for the people to ac-
cept or reject the convention proposition
will be narrowed down to May or Novem-
Der. 1901.
BY taking the vote IN May and calling
the Legislature in extra session TO make
the apportionment. etc, much headway
could be gained. But, on the other hand
the May election will not bring out the
people I'm very large numbers. and GER
tain officers. whose places are likely to
be abolished, will be out in force on that
day. That might not make much DIFF
ference II our party were clearly and un-
reservedly committed TO a constitutional
convention, but otherwise it would.
Against having the vote taken in NO
vember 1901 there IS, OF course, the oD-
lection that it would make delay. Ana
though the imperlled officers would not
be so much in evidence then, other IN
fuences quite as potent might be. Again
we are TO elect a Governor Lieutenant
Governor. Attorney-General, and MEM
bers Of tho Legislature in November, 1901,
and it will be a question whether ii
would be opportune to have the conyen-
ton vote then.
These are questions which Democratic
members of the Legislature should con
slider, yet they have not been much talked
about
BY the way. some OF our contemporaries
contend that the question OF convention
or no convention should not be made
party issue. in our Judgment It must
be-else such convention never will be
called. The Republican vote Of this state
quite surely will be against calling con
vention. TO carry the proposition IT is
necessary that the Democratic vote
should be nearly solid for It, How can
that solldity be secured except by giving
party sanction. support and endorsement
to the scheme?
