AGE AND CENSUS STATfSTiCS.

or,h.d with error In every country in which such
tables are prepared. With fairly steady no" OF
immigration and stationary or increasing pOpu

Where immigration is slight the persons OF

than the persons ten years younger at the pre-

the persons fifteen years old IN 1850. because the
tventy-fye class OF 1890 is composed OF the
v,vors Of the fifteen year class in 1850. These
facts. but English women are not abashed by facts.

THE oL1GARCHY AND THE GOVERNOR

they are not they simply sleep. and il better
il should not practise upon their credulty to the
point of a sudden awakening When that occurs,
as it will. the explosion will land it so far away
from its present base it will find it again.
The inherent virtue of the party will survive past
ignomnies.
We have a Governor who is more than match

GOOD sTATrEs FOR BAD

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the matter of the removal OF inartistic
statues from the Park other public places where

well to substitute more fitting memorials to the
men whose fame 1t is desirable to commemorate?
Because the city in the past. through its officers

badly modelled that the refined taste of to-
day no longer accept them. the unfortunate
originals of these portrait statues ought not to
suffer. To relegate these bad statues to a cham

the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Why is il that the Democratic party has
yet acknowledged the valuable services rem
dered them by the Hon. T c Platt? Are they st!ll
waiting for more? Perhaps the many valuable
helps he give them during the coming Year,
Has he not already done enough? Had Mr. Croker
done much service for the Republican party
would its leaders for a moment hesitate to acknowl-
edge 81?
Had Mr. Croker represented this State in the
United States Senate. and had he deserted his post
leaving the party short vote and the State
Enrepresented had he continually worked TO pre-
vent able Democrats from holding office; had he
handed the city of New-York over 10 the Republi-
party. would not every Republican rise UP and
call him blessed?
All this and much more has the Hon. T. {. Platt
word Of thanks from them. But he does not seem
all discouraged.
Never has New-Ycrk State had such an ideal Coy
ernor but he is wholly satisfactory 10 the Dem
ocratic party. and Mr.. Piatt wants him sidetracked
where he can do Them no possible harm. Do our
Democratic friends imagine for moment that Mr.
Platt may reap some peCuniary benefit viii
compensate him for his great service 10 them? Oh,
perish the thought; such thing cannot be.

INDIAN MADONNAS.
LOVE AND TENDER CARE SHOWN TO
THEIR CHILDREN BY MOTHERS Of
THE FAR WESTERN TRIBES.

For centuries the Madonna has stood in the
civilized world as the repres entatiOn of ideal
motherhood. She is the incarnate mother OF the
race Artists have We'd with one another 10 pro-
duce pictures that would express this great and
sublime thought, and the marvellous creations
of their genius have afforded subjects upon
which word painters have expatiated IN ex-
alted enthusiasm, seeking to excite IN others
the emotions that must have existed III the
minds and hearts of the master artists during
the fervid moments of creation The inehable

ness the motherly forebodng. the humble pride

Poets and philosophers alike have glorliied the
theme of motherhood. They have shown its en-
nobling beauty and its sublime sanctity. And
Vet in all the thousands of pages that have been
written, and well written, too, upon this inter-
esting theme, it is doubtful whether anywhere
can be found line which suggests that, per-
haps. in the North American aboriginal mother
there might be found many all of the quail
ties that have rendered the famous Madonna
paintings of the masters SO valuable to the race.
If motherhood be the sacred thing the true
hearted men of the ages have said it is, surely
where gentle, tender care of offspring is mani
Tested and children are reared according to the
highest light and knowledge possessed by the
parent, the Indian mother should have her place
in the gallery of the MadOnnas of the human
race. For she is a STEP and a most important
step, in the ascending ladder of evolution. and
it is scarcely fair that her claims to recogni-
tiOn should be ignored.
Who, looking upon the face of the Indian
mother, which is the portrait of a Laguna Ind
ian, in New Mexico, can fail to the sweet
tenderness, the kind gentleness that should
beam in the eyes of the highest type of woman
hood. There is also a clear look of quiet pride
in her maternity, and it does not require any
great imagination 10 see in the liquid dark eyes
Of this Indian mother and in her sensitive lips
a full recognition of the hardships her little one
must endure in taking his proper place among
