STATISTICS oF DELAWARE.
Healthy Growth of Most Manufac.
lures in the Diamond state.

The Census Office yesterday issued a
bulletin giving the statistics of manufac-
lures and mechanical industries for the
STATE OF delaware Tor the year 1990
The statistics indicate a healthy growth
in the manufactures of Delaware. al
though a decline is observable in certain
industries. such as cotton manufactures,
in which the number of mills has de-
creased from to .; the manufacture of
fertilizers. in which the number of estab-
ishments has fallen from II to II, and
carriage and wagon manufacture. in
which the number has decreased from Al
to 36. The iron and steel manufactures.
shipbuilding, foundry, and machine shop
products, and the tanning and finishing of
leather, however. show large increases.
The report shows a capital of $41, ,292 2S7
invested in manufactures and mechanical
industries in the 1,5S6 establishments of
Delaware, this sum representing the value
of land, buildings. machinery. tools. and
implements. and the live capital utilized.
but not including the capital stock of any
of the manufacturing corporations of the
State. The value of products is returned
at A5, 4SI, $50, TO produce which involves an
outlay of S1,422.S .S31 Tor the salaries of en-
ployes. S9,257.6i7 for wages paid, s., ,1e4, ,196
for miscellaneous expenses, including
rent taxes, etc, and $26 66S, ,3SS for ma
te=ials used, mill supplies. freight. and
fuel, the gross value of products being
S45, 49, $50. and the value of materials pur-
chased in a partly manufactured form be-
ing Sl5,S64. 941 The difference between
them, $40 s,5z3, 449. is the net value of prod
ucts. and represents the increase in the
value of raw materials resulting from the
various processes of manufacture The
per cent of increase in the humber of
wage earners has been considerably in
excess of the growth in population, show
ing steady increase in the relative pro-
portion of the populations engaged in the
industries.
Delaware, however, the report SAYS is
MT to be regarded as a manufacturing
State. Improved land I'm farms occupies
COS per cent of its entire area larger
proportion than in any other State on
the Atlantic coast. In fact only four
States in the country. all in the northern
central group. have a proportion of inn
proved land in farms greater than that of
Delaware. Delaware, the bulletin states Is
pre-eminently a fruit growing State. and
this fact has resulted in a striking de-
velopment OF fruit canning and preserv-
ing, an industry which has more than
doubled since the last census was taken
and which from present indications will
still greater growth during .he
next decade. The geographical location
of Delaware, the report states, is well
suited to the advantageous DEVELOPMENT
of manufactures.

WANT TO BRING THEIR ARMS.
Canadian BIghlnnders Ask Permis-
sion to March Into Buffalo.

BUFFALO, n. Y. Juno 27.-The Gov
erHment at Washington has been asked
for advice on the question of the Cana
dian regiment, the Fourth Highlanders
of Toronto, coming into Buffalo on sun
day under arms. The Canadian Building
is to be dedicated on Monday. Among
those who will attend the ceremony will
be f. w. Borden, Minister of Militia;
Colonel Aylmer. Adjutant General; and
Colonel Pinaut, Deputy Minister of
Militia.
The plan was to bring the HighIanders
here under command of Lieutenant Colo
mel Macdonald. Without their arms the
Highlanders would not present the mill
tary appearance they wish. so Washing
tons advice has been invoked
Geronimo. the Indian chief. who has
been a prisoner at Fort Smelling since his
capture, arrived here tonight under a
guard of United States soldiers, to be-
come a part of the Indian Congress on
from the Government to bring the aged
chief here Geronimo, although a pris-
oner. is delighted with the excursion.
The Saengerfest ended with volksfest
at the Stadium tonight, when the big un-
covered theatre was filled for the first
time. Everyone sang America" regard
less of what his voice training had been.
The roar that greets Brooklyn Handi-
cap winner under the wire vas a whis-
per compared with the yolu-ne of sound
sent up by this chorus.
The united bands of Buffalo and the
exposition played favorite airs and a sort
of circus was provided by the Midway
concessionaires, The Saengerfest always
results in q deficiency, but as s33 900 was
raised here the loss was only S., 600 this
year. The next will be held at st. Louis
in 1903.

as a whole are as comfortable as any in
Europe We must therefore look be
hind these conditions for the cause or
causes. which have checked the growth
of population in France while those of
England and Germany are forging rap
idly ahead. No doubt it viii be found in
the peculiar mental and moral temper
ament of the French people.
But this has not always been the case
with France, for up to a comparatively
recent date its population rapidly in
creased despite the wars which devas
tated the country and slaughtered its
young men by hundreds of thousands.
The conclusion follows that whatever
has checked the increase of population
there it is a cause that has not been
long at work. If such u change can
take place in France, so it can in other
countries, and it May easily come to
pass. If conditions were the same all
over the world as they are in the
French Republic, the population of the
globe would be stationary or nearly SO.
and most of the estimates of probable
increase would look preposterous.
But while we cannot pretend to say
what the worlds population will be in
the distant future, we can safely affirm
that so long as the earth remains hab-
liable the population will be adjusted to
the conditions which actually exist, and
that it will always be capable of sus-
tanning its Inhabitants with a fair de-
gree of comfort. Even its most dense
ly settled portions have by no means
reached the limit of their Hfe-sustain-
ing capacity, and this viii be steadily
increased with the advance Of science
on every line.

UNABLE TO INDICT
Judge PosveIPs Attempt to Punish
Lynchers a Fnilure.

NEW ORLEANS. June 27--The attempt
of Judge Powell, of the Mississippi Cir
cult Court, to enforce the law against
lynching. the third attempt so far made
in the State. has. like the others, result
ed in failure. The judge instructed the
grand jury on the subject of lynching
only. and asked it to devote itself special
ly to the recent notorious lynching at
Terry. To this. the foreman of the grand
jury replied today.
'.In accordance with your instructions
we examined witnesses, whose names you
handed us in the Terry lyrching case. ex-
cept those who furnished 4 doctors cerS
tifcate that they were unable to come
before a grand jury. We also examined
some witnesses. white and black. in ad-
dition to the above. We were unable to
obtain even the name of one member of
the mob. and consequently found it i'm
possible TO frame any indictment, in spite
of our strenuous efforts"

The worId,s Future PopuIation.

When some statisticians can find
nothing more useful to figure Upon, they
devote their mental activities to esti-
mates of what the worlds population
viii be two hundred, five hundred, or
thousand years hence; and usually they
figure up an increase that is literally
appalling. when we consider the human
race in the light Of its present mundane
surroundings.
Some people have a penchant for
large figures, and find much pleasure
fn employing them in an overpowering
sort OF way. It ought TO be clear,
though. that the rules Of arithmetical
and geometricaI progression must utter
ly fail when the attempt IS made to ap-
ply them TO so uncertain matter as
the increase of the human family. In
the very nature Of things this must de-
pend largely upon conditions which no
one can forecast with even an approach
10 accuracy. When allowances are
made for changes Of conditions which
IL is supposed may occur, the whole es-
innate loses its ma thematical signih-
cance and becomes a mere guess.
At the present time no two countries
are increasing their populations with
equal pace France is practically at a
standstiII. and scne other countries are
nearly so. Tne United States. the
United Kingdom, and Germany are In
cressjng rapidly, but very unequally.
When We consider each nation inter-
nally- We find the same differences: some
parts increasing at a high rate others
more slowly, somt not al all, and still
Others losing. Taese inequalities all
hive their causes. They may be eli
matte, they may b. industrial; they
may be found in social habits and men
tai temperament. AS population presses
upon subsistence the effect is 10 make
the struggle Of life harder and check the
rate Of Increase This struggle might
easily become so severe as TO bring pop
ulauon 10 a stationary point, or even
70 lead 10 a falling Off Marriages
might be checked, mortality increased,
and various psychological influences be
brought into play
For example, there is nothing in the
natural conditions prevailing in France
that would seem 70 have any tendency
to prevent the increase Of population.
Quite The reverse. It has a splendid
climate, a rich soil. and its productive
capacity Is great Moreover, it is a

The principal trouble with the men who are
trying 10 guide public opinion in Cuba and TO
set up in business as serious politicians appears
to be plentiful lack Of good sense Also Of

eeptance OF The Platt amendment hit that the
latter party has pledged itself employ all legal
means 10 secure its repeal That is mere child :

that in which the Constitutional Convention en-
gagged when it restricted its adoption Of the
amendment in question by supplementing it with

Circulation Statement.
The british Position.

Lord SaIisbury's speech in London
makes it clear that the British war IN
South Africa has departed far and wide
from its originally avowed purpose
The burden of the Premier's song is
that the Beers must be crushed or the
prestige of the British EN- Nre viii be
forever lost. Not word has he TO say
about the wrongs of the British sub
jects in the Transvaal or the corruption
OF the Beer Government. AT least moth
ing of the kind appears in the press de-
spatch epitomizing the speech. Britain
is simply defending her own territory in
order that her power may be respected
and feared by other nations.
whatever the effect of such a speech
may be upon the minds of Englishmen,
it is not calculated favorably to impress
the world at large. The plea that Brit
ain is merely defending her own terri
tory is disingenuous one. 1t is true
that at the outset of the struggle the
Beers took the offensive and invaded
Natal Equally true is it that they
have been the aggressors a goodly por-
tien of the time since the surrender OF
Cronle, and that they are even now at
lacking the British in Cape Colony. But
it is obvious that these offensive opera
items have been carried on as the best
method OF defending their own country.
1t has simply been an offensive defence.
Many of the Beers may have thought
when the war came that they would be
able TO wrest the whole of South Africa
from the British, but that is beside the
question. The Beers certainly did not
deliberately make war upon Great Brit
ain for the purpose of dismembering the
British Empire. In a political sense il
is unfortunate for the Beers that they
actually began the fighting, but from
military poinl of view it was eminently
wise. They saw that the struggle was
inevitable and it would have been the
height of folly for them to wait-untn
the British armies could be massed
against them in overwhelming force.
The circumstance that the Beers have
made The best fight possible does not
change the nature of the questions in
velyed in the war. 1t does not sustain
the plea that Britain is merely fighting
to maintain the territorial integrity of
the Empire: neither does it justify the
British Government in prosecuting the
war IN a cruel and semi -barbarous way.
There has never been q moment since
the capture Of CroEje's force when the
British could not have made peace
that would have been in every way
honorable to them, and which would
have made all their territorial rights Sc
cure Instead Of attempting to do so
they proclaimed what was essentially
a war Of determination, the effect of
which was to goad the Beers to des-
peration in their resistance. Having
nothing to gain by a surrender, they
continue the unequal struggle in blank
despair.
There can be no question that the
British Government is now continuing
the war in order to save the prestige Of
the Empire, but the effort viii hardly
avail British prestige has already suf-
fered greatly, and it continues to wane
with everv day that the war goes on.
That prestige cannot be saved by a vir-
tual admission that unless the Beers
are completely wiped out the integrity
Of the Empire viii be endangered.
