the time is not far distant when the

LONDON, Dec. s.-The last week hav-
ing brought some fresh contributions to
the recurrent lamentation by public men
on the decline OF the birth rate in the
United Kingdom a writer in the Stand
ard discusses the question from the op-
posite viewpoint, basing his remarks on
the latest statistics of births and deaths
Ass dming that these are correct and
that the present emigration will increase
pro rata, he shows that the population
seventy years hence will be double
making the number 50. 100000. which it
will be impossible for the British Isles
10 support unless there are some
changes in the conditions of life.
But allowing for the possibility OF the
country being able to support this num-
Der and estimating that the population
will be doubled every seventy years. the
writer pictures a time no further for
ward than the Norman conquest is
backward. say the year 2S01, when there
will be 6.924, 900 people 70 the square mile
in England. which would give each in
dividual about half a square yard of
space. To house and accommodate these
suitably every inch of dry ground in
the country would have to be covered
with sixteen-story skyscrapers. leaving
no space for streets, parks. shops. thea
ters or anything but dwellings.
Assuming that the emigration to the
unoccupied lands OF the world will vast
ly increase, the writer supposes that the
emigrants will produce progeny at an
equal rate. while other nations of the
world are also increasing in population.

The West London Riot.

Ia April. 1885. he percipitated what has
been known as the West London riot.
II began In a meeting of the Fair
Traders in Trafalgar square. Burns
and three of his friends captured the
meeting. and turned 1t into a socialist
demonstra ton II wound up in the greae
audience forming itself into a procession
and marching through the London
streets They were perfectly orderly
until. as they were passing one OF the
fashionable clrts. the siided youth with
taunted them. They replied with
volley of stones which broke some win
dows Farther along the taunts were
repeated: more stones: and eventually
the lawless element broke loose. Many
windows were broken and some little
individual pillaging done. Burns and
his associates. though they had done
their best to control the men. were ar
rested. OF course they were discharged
in court. and from the dock Of the Old
Bailey Burns had his first chance 10
make an impression on the British pub
lie as a whole.
A little later. in November of the same
year a similar disturbance caused
Burns 10 be arrested again. This time it
was charged that he had personally
headed a cnarge against the ponce, ana
even fought with theml and he was SEN
fenced to three months in Pentonville
prison.
This experience of prison life was
the finishing touch i'm the curriculum or
John Burns II gave him that fine SYM
pathy with the outcast which is engen-
dered behind prison bars. II enabled
him to study the machinery OF the state
when used against you, a salutary ex-
perience which most administrators
lack. And in parliament his knowledge
Of prison abuses has enabled him TO
force a number OF much needed prison
reforms
Early In 1Ss9-just about a year after
his release from Pentonville-Burns was
elected TO the London city council as
councillor from Battersea. AS the sole
representative of labors in the council
he was allowed to shape its course and
its enactments where labor was con-
cerned-subject. OF course to the coun-
CHS approval. He has always shown
such good reason for the measures he
has suggested that the council has had

acted a series of measures which have
come to be regarded as the Magma
