NEW YORK ciTY's BIG DEBT.
Metropolis Of the Nation Is Decidedly
Extravaeant.

New York city is the master bill
contractor in the world, and the In
aividual citizen owes more as . citi-
ten Of New York than he does as .
citizen OF the United States. Next to
New York the 25 larger cities of the
United States. In the order of their
population, are as follows: Chicago,
Philadelphia, st. Louis, Boston, Balti-
more. Cleveland. Buffalo. San Francis
co. Cincinnati, Pittsburg, New Or
leans, Detroit, Milwaukee, Washing
ton. Newark, Jersey City. Louisville,
Minneapolis, Providence. Indianapolis,
Kansas City, ST. Paul, Rochester,
Denver and Toledo. Their population,
according to the census Of 1900. was
about s,eo0.0oo. against 3,437 900 for
Greater New York II is not likely
that this proportion has changed
much. Now. the total bonded indebt.
edness OF these rs cities is about
$4,000. 900. almost tl0o.000.O00 less
than that the metropolis This
means that the per capita debt OF the
citizens OF New York is $l45.35.

large cities Boston with Sis and
Cincinnati with STA come the nearer
to approaching New York's record,

Hundredth Anniversary of Lincoln.

The reminder that the Tooth aniver-
sary of Lincoln's birth approaches is
opportune, says the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger. On February II it will nave
been So years since the great war presi-
dents birth amid humble surroundings
in northern kentucky. In February,
1909, we may celebrate the centenary,
and it is certain that preparations will
be made for observing the day in some
notable way.
There are ON foot for this year in
Illinois ceremonies fittingly to com
me1norate the 50th anniversary of the
Lincoln-Douglas debates, which newt
ably paved the way to the great nation
al career of one who else might have
remained a lawyer in Springfield for
the rest of his days.
The growth OF Lincoln's fame has
been steady since his assassination
an event which banished every senti-
lnent of rivalry, doubt and antagonism.
The party clash with President john
son aftcrward made the country put Il
still higher value upon the life and
work of him who was gone, and there
has since been no interruption in the
development of the national apprecia-
ton.
The admirable and exhaustive Life"
by Nicolay and Hay served TO set Lin
coins virtues still more clearly before
us. We now see the kindly, forsivil e
ptISOlldply, lIlS IHASLsI1ll Q1plOtlldl III
dealing With all kinds of men. the firm
administrator in times of uncertainty
and crisis, the patient leader ready to
postpone the enforcement of q %iavorite
policy until the arrival of the ripe mo-
ment, and, above all, o he sacrificed
self for the good of a great conmon
cause.
These are The qualities which the ma
ton has learned to revere in Lincoln.
and they will be as much loved two
or three hundred years hence as tney
are today. There is abundant reason
for the touching remembrance OF such
q life on the occasion of these approach
ing anniversaries.

and absurd as the Romans effort to
