By the protective method it should have had
population of over 10000 in 1908; but the bu-
reau assigned it a total of 31,472. Why: Be
cause of the loss Of life in the great hurricane
of 1900 But if catastrophes are allowed to
vittate the a priori methods accuracy, why
should 1t be proof against the hundred other
checks or spurs to growth which may affect a
city's destiny? And If it is not proof against
these arrangements, what practical value has it
as a means of determining an individual city's
growth? Mr.. North urges that the annual esti-
mates are necessary for the calculation of city
death rates But if that is their main service,
why not merely publish the formula by which
they obtained and let the city health authOri-
ties work out their own percentage problems !?
That would save lot of trouble and not little
expense.

SION WORK.

The fifth and last Of the new Staten Island
ferryboats has finally been launched or course.
much work remains to be done on these yes
sells and a considerable time must elapse be-
fore they are running regularly between the
Battery and the Richmond County terminal.
1t is unfortunate that so long a delay is now
inevitable for the city is growing SO fast that
an increase of swift and rapid communication
between all of it's various divisions is exceed
ingy important. Staten Island contains an ex-
tensive territory we'll adapted to domestic
needs and it undoubtedly will In years TO come
be inhabited by multitude Of New-Yorkera.

PANAMA AND SOME OTHERS

The policy Of the administration In regard IA
current purchases for the Panama Canal seems
TO be getting much vindication from current
news OF kind scarcely anticipated. we i'm
aglne, by its critics. Only the other day, for ex-
ample, the country was confronted with Iuria
portrayals OF the Industrial Chaos and Old Night
that would come upon US if foreign manufact-
urers were permitted to compete for orders for
double tracking less than fifty miles of railroad
on the isthmus. Yet here is the general mana
ger or one Of our great steel companies an
nouncing that the Russian government has prac-
tcally decided to place n this country an order
Tor 10000 tons Of rails for its Siberian road
and that fl is considering the placing Of orders
here for double tracking the whole 5000 miles
OF that railway. We are inclined to think a
good many Americans VIII ask, If our manu-
fact1rers can in the face of European compe-
ution win such contract in Asia, why should
they lie awake O nights worrying over the
prospect Of having to meet the same compeu-
don In job of only 1 per cent of that magni-
tude ar Panama?
Again, here is the Editor Of 1.-THE American
ManuIacrurer-wh certainly should be an au-
uloIl'y upon the subject, and one friendly TO
american enthusiastically declaring. as The
tribune has from the first declared. that in omen
competition with all the world at Panama Amer
lean manufacturers would be able 10 win nearly
I'll ihe CONTRACTS. They would. he confidently
asserts, win on all but two items-namelv sbins
and rails-and they would win ON rails TOO
were II not for the requirements of the ..nooI,,
that the domestic rate shall be maintained II
they would only consent to sell rails ar tbei
foreign market prices in that foreign rnerI,a+
and not insist upon regarding Panama as q do,
nestle market they could capture contracts
Ior rals there as easily as in Russia. He addS
significantly that the Presidents order will a.,

An accident like that which happened yester-
day on the 3d-ave. elevated road. just above
the Harlem River. suggests the expediency Of
introducing apparatus which will automatically
prevent rear-end collisions. The Interborough
company has it already in the subway and is
fully acquainted with it's virtues. On perfectly
straight stretches of track there is less danger
that one train will run into another, but extra
precautions are needed at curves and the ap-
proaches to bridges

We greatly regret that in recent editorial
comment the decision in the Kingwood Coal
Company case did injustice to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad and some Of it's stockholders,
mistakenly trusting to the accuracy of a news
article published by a contemporary. 1t was
stated that the Baltimore and Ohio guilty of
the discrimination charged in supplying coal
cars 1t appears, however that this railroad
was not connected with the litigation. The suit
instituted by the Kingwood Coal Company
against the West Virginia Northern Railroad
Company, which is short line that connects
with the Baltimore and Ohio and runs up into
certain section of the coal region. It is an in
dependent line, said to belong to an individual
who also owns considerable coal mining prop
erty and built the railroad to furnish an outlet
for his coal. In handling the shipments from
the mines coming over this railroad the Balti-
more and Ohio only acted as a common carrier,
the same as it hauls traffic that comes or origi-
mates anywhere along the lines Of It's system.
We are informed that the Baltimore and Ohio
does not have any interest in the West Virginia
Northern Railroad or its builders coal mines
ard that the distribution of cars to the mines
along the West Virginia Northern Railroad is
entirely IN the hands of its owner.

THE BACKYARD FARMER.
And now the backyard farmer
Rises early every MORN
To plant the dubious radish
And the lettuce. and the corn
He is most enthusiastic.
And he's up at half past five
To hoe. and weed, and water,
And see how the onions thrive
He is dreaming of the summer,
When the green peas will be ripe
And he can have fresh salads
With his roast beef and his tripe.
He is thinking of the autumn,
And the big potato crop,
And he hoes. and weeds. and watera.
Till he really hates to stop.
He hoes. and weeds. and waters.
And the perspiraticn flows
Like a river from his forehead
And 1t drips down off his nose
Happy, happy backyard farmer
With his plantlets and his seeds
Though his crop this year. as always
VIII be principally weeds!
