nR. GARDINER'S REMOVAL.

II District Attorney Gardiner had not by a
long series of outrageous acts proved his general
| unfitness to hold office the Governor might pos
sibly have shown some leniency in dealing with
the particular offence which led TO his sum-
mary removal With the whole community
pretty thoroughly impressed with the conVlc-
ton that on general principles he ought TO De
supplanted and some competent ana falth1ui
prosecutor set TO suppressing the lntolerabie
lawlessness of the city, it was quite lmposslpie
for the Governor TO look upon the District Attor-
news conduct as q mere piece of indiscretion
and folly which might be excused with some
censure TO a man Of good record
Counsel for Mr. Gardiner frankly admitted
the fndiscretion and folly of his utterances at
election time and perhaps this plea, with
promises of amendment, might have secured
further probation for another man. but MI.
Gardiner had already had his probation He
was tried once before on charges which many
thought warranted his removal, but the Gov
ernor gave him the benefit of the doubt which
Mr. Wilcox who heard the testimony, thought
existed. Then he received ample warning to
mend his ways, and any man of good judgment
fit to hold the office of public prosecutor would
have proited by the experience and given no
further occs sion for complaints. Mr. Gardiner,
however, with a faulty and wrongheadedness
all his own. seemed emb0ldeneQ Dy MS escape
TO give free rein to his eccentr1cities and his
partisanship in the conduct of his office.
As the Governor says in his memorandum,
fraud or violence at the polls in this county is
National concern and the District Attorneys
open championship of men who were trying TO
incite the mob to election riots here could not
be passed over lightly. Mr.. Gardeners previous
exhibitions of partisan and personal bias IN
prosecutions made it impossible TO consider his
hindrance Of the State officials who were trying
to secure an honest election, and his denuncia-
ZION Of the measures taken to bring to order
Devery, for whom even Mr.. Gardiner no longer
apologies. as anything but deliberate attempts
TO promote the programme of violence which
Mr.. Croker in his interviews had advised. This
would be a serious offence against the public on
the part of private citizen Coming from an
officer whose business was to enforce law and
promote order. it was violation Of official obli-
cations deserving severe punishment.
On removing Mr.. Gardiner the Governor has
been well advised not to put Republican in
his place. The appointment of Mr.. Philbin fore
stalls all criticism of partisan bias in his action.
The new District Attorney has an excellent
reputation and the people of this city hopefully
look for a thoroughgoing reform of the abuses
which have grown up in the District Attorneys
office, and for vigorous prosecution of the law
breakers who have been operating under Tam
many protection.

RUSSIA'S RANK IN SIZE.

The latest Russian census estimate affords
basis on which to reckon the rank, according to
population, Of that country among the nations
of the world. There has been a popular ten
dency 10 regard Russia as numerically far
superior to any other civilized Power, as indeed
a sort OF Colossus overshadowing the remainder
of the world. Upon the face Of it the recent
census may give some color to that view. But
analysis of its details and comparison with the
censuses of other lands viii materially modify it.
The census of nearly four years ago showed
the Russian Empire 10 contain about 100000
persons. No census has been taken since, but a
computation has been made Of the yearly excess
OF births over Deaths and thus it is calculated
that the population has by this time risen TO
13600000O. That is large number. But it
must be borne in mind that it includes number
Of heterogeneous and in some cases semi-hostile
elements. There are for example, some 100000
Poles. who almost literally pinned fast to
Russia with bayonets; and more than 100000
Finns who are being alenated in spirit with
rapidity and success. There are nearly 100000
Lithuanians and II 100000 Turks, and there are
100000 Jews who are held In semi-servitude
and semi-outlawry. These and other alien ele-
ments are not commingled with the whole mass
but remain apart from it in distinct communi-
ties. Deducting them. the real Russian popu-
lation is found not 10 exceed about se,000OO0.
These latter figures exceed those Of any other
civilized nation but not by an altogether over
whelming majority. The population of Ger
many, which is practically homogeneous, is
about 55,000,000. If TO this we add the 10000 900
Germans Of Austria we have race comparison
Of G5000O00 Germans TO S6O00000 Russians.
For political purposes we may well add to the
Germans the 100000 Magyars and others of
Hungary who are not only non-Slay but also
anti-Slav, thus making a total OF 7S,00O,00
The United Kingdom has a population of only
100000. but if we add the British popula-
ton Of the Empire we have a total of about
52,000.OO0. Finally, there is the United States,
with a substantially homogeneous population OF
100000, which comes not so far from Russia s
total of true Russians; and If we add together
the population OF the United States and the
English speaking population of the British En-
pire we have an Anglo-Saxon race total of
129000.O00, far exceeding the Russian total and
npproximating TO the grand aggregate of the
whole heterogeneous Russian Empire
The rate Of increase is also TO be considered
In 1s60 Russia had 75yO0O,0 600 inhabitants. The
increase-including all gained by conquest and
anneIation-has thus been 61, ,000.0 900, or about
81 per cent In forty years. That is much NOR.
rapid than the growth of Germany, which has
been only about 80 per cent, or Of the United
Kingdom, which has been only Al per cent. But
while Russia has gained millions by annexation
these others have lost millions by emigration
far different comparison is that made with
tne United states Apart from what we have

GOING BACK TO oUEBEC.

There is report that from 10000 to 200 600
French Canadians are on the point of leaving
New-England and returning to Canada. 1t is
not at all surprising at least to those who
have kept themselves familiar with the remark
able industrial and social movements of Canada
and New-England in recent years The com
ing OF the French Canadians into the United
States was noteworthy migration. which al
most reVolutionized conditions in some of the
New-England States. Those who saw it only ON
the surface declared that it meant the Galliciz
ing and Catholicizing of the Puritan States. and
either the depopulation of Quebec or the annexa
ton OF that province and indeed the whole
Dominion TO the United States. Those dreams
should be by this time pretty thoroughly dis
PEELED If not, they surely viii be when the re-
turn tide to Quebec gains full headway.
1t has long been proyerbial that FrenchrneD

strange land. And now, with the restoration
of prosperous times in Canada and the estap-
lishment of a government which is not oniy IN
full sympathy with them, but actually mas a
French Catholic Canadian at its head, they
gladly return to their old and only home.
There are two specific reasons worthy of pass
ing notice One is that while French is the
popular and official language of Quebec It re-
mains an alien tongue in New-England. The
other is that while in Quebec the Roman Cath
olic Church is officially recognized and its
separate parochial schools are maintained by
public funds no such conditions prevail in New
England and there is no hope of their ever be-
ing established there. There are no stronger
influences than those of language and religion.
The French Canadians naturally prefer TO re-
turn to the land of their own tongue and faith,
and they prefer to keep that land under the
flag and in the empire which recognize and
protect that tongue and that faith, rather than
transfer it to a government which knows them
not and will know them not
