The sense OF Humor.

In one OF his latest speeches into the
discreet horn OF the monograph the
Hon. WILLIAM H. TAFT prefaoes his
convincing remarks on the humor OF
the Irish race with this sentence:
Il am a great lover OF humor. however Il tile
I have Of II, and bettsve in II as 4 panscea."
How unfortunately accurate is MIR.
TAPr's estimate Of his own present
sense Of the humorous may. be judged
from this serious and solemn announce
ment ~telegraphed from Middle Bass
Island:
-Mr. TAFT had insisted on making the thirty
mile trip by water Without stoppins In Toledo
over night 90 % 70 avoid starting out on Sunday.
He arrived a, Riddle Bass island at q O'Clock On
Sunday morning"
His conscience must have reproved
him most earnestly for occupying the
first four hours Of Sunday, August 90,
in travel. The In day that brought
news OF this distressing incident pro-
duced from another part Of the country
this touching confession:
"orsrKR BAY. August so.-THsopohs Rooss.

Concerning humor, Mr.. TAFT corfided
to the talking machine q simile:

To which It might be added that 1t is

The Next Generation.

Numerous estimates Of the popula-
ton Of the United States In 1850 have
been made and statisticians assert that
by that year the country will be crowded
with people and perhaps q little over
crowded. Most Of the predictions vary
from It's, 900, 900 to 2OO. 1000. 900 inhabi-
tants Of America by the middle of the
century.
In the Atlantic Monthly for August
Mr.. W. s. R%ossITER. well known as
a census expert, submits a different
opinion. He shows that the rate Of in
crease in population is diminishing and
declares that IL the diminution should
continue to the middle of the twentieth
century, at the same rate per decade rs
shown from 1890 to 1890. the population
Of continental United States in 1850
would not exceed 100, 600 900, and after
that date would tend to become sta
tionary.' The increase from 1870 to
1880 was 81 per cent. from 1880 TO 1870,
"A per cent, and from 1890 to 1900, Il
per cent. Mr.. RossrrER regards the
generally accepted forecasts as 'sensa-
tional in their libcrality," and declares
that 'there is a popular tendency TO
overestimate future population He
cites the estimate made by President
LINCOLN in his message in 1852. Mr.
LINCOLN said: AT the same ratio OF
increase which we have maintained, as
an average, from "a first national
census of i7e0 until that Of 1890, we
should in 1900 have q population Of
lO3, 2os,4l6.'
Mr.. RosBTTER adds that at such q rate
our population In 1910 would be nearly
40, 900 900. The actual population In
1900 was 81, O00, 600 short Of Mr.. LIN
COINS calculation and Mr.. RossrrER is
evidently convinced that the popular
estimates now made for 1850 are pro-
portionately excessive. All this seems
to hold in the face of our enormous i'm
migration. By using the figures com.
piled BY the Census Bureau Mfr. RossI-
TER reaches the conclusion that were II
not for the ever increasing REINFORCE
ments from abroad the United States
would now be making very slow popu-
lation Roadway
The general line Of this writer's argu-
ment Is that the natural increase In
population is greater In rural districts
and in agricultural countries than II
Is In cities and In manufacturing coun.
tries. Our urban population IL increas-
ing four times as rapidly as that Of the
country districts and the diminishing
rate OF increase is most conspicuous In
the most populous sections where there
are found the most extensive industrial
interests.

The Leper Mt Washington.

JOHN EARLY, the hper now isolated
in q forlorn suburb Of Washington, IL
entitled to more considerable treatment
than he Is receiving. That it ID the best
the District authorities ri afford lie
perhaps true enough. Cases of leprosy
are 80 extremely rare that no n pro
vides for them. The consequence Ia
that when a leper Is identified he gets
treated in a h%aphaxard fashion and
placed under circumstances Of deten-
ton that would hardly be melted out to
a red handed murderer. JOHN EARLY
has fallen heir to this tangle Of futility
and ineptitude.
Meanwhile there Is in Louisiana an
established leper colony where by all
accounts the patients are treated kindly,
comfortably housed and provided with
some sort Of human and ameliorating
atmosphere. Moreover, they are cared
for by intelligent and devoted pbysi-
clans who appear, II we can trust the
newspaper statements, to have effected
great alienation in general and q mum.
Der Of outright cures in particular. II
would be an excellent thing IL EARLY
could be sent to the louisiana leper
colony, where he would have enlight-
ened attention, tolsrable surroundings
and at least the moral comfort Of
proximity and association. Surely the
United States Government, which is 90
o~pulently provided with emergency
funds, could afford this. We can hardly
expect louisiana to undertake the ex-
pense, but EARLY has served his coun-
try in the army-in Cuba perhaps, and
certainly In the PhiIippines-and it may
well be that he contracted leprosy in
the course OF his experience. Others
who have done far less service are now
revealing in pensions and living better
than they ever lived before. Surely
poor JOHN EARLY has q claim In his
forlorn extremity upon the public
treasury
We have no doubt that the Louisiana
"eolony' could provide O place. for
EARLY If properly remunerated. At
least It might be worth while to try.

IL the Peace Of Europe Assured

IL the Peace Of Europe Assured?
l. The Emperor WILLIAM, speaking on
Sunday at Strasburg. declared it to be
his deepest conviction that the peace Of
Europe is not in danger. The averment
seems to have been meant to allay the
general uneasiness which was caused
by Lord CRoMRR's speech, and which
ID believed to have prompted King
EDWARDS recent interview with his
nephew and the announcement that
early in the year the British sovereign
will make q formal visit to Berlin. The
Emperor's words would have been more
convincing il he had intimated q will
ingness to agree TO a limitation of arma-
ments instead Of proclaiming the pur-
pose of keeping Germany's armed forces
on their high level, and II he had said
explicitly that he could see no reason
for convokfhg another conference about
Morocco or for interfering with the
effort Of Turkish reformers to establish
peace and order in the Balkan peninsula.
While the Kaiser was speaking two Incl.
dents occurred which are likely to revive
apprehension Of international compli-
cations.
It appears by a telegram from Casa
blanca that the struggle between ADD
RI-AzIz. the Sultan recognized at
Algeciras, and his brother MUIAI
HAFID is by no can over, notwith-
standing the defeat incurred through
treachery by the former on his way TO
Morocco city. Since then more faith
full followers of the nominally reigning
sovereign have gained several successes
over the partisans OF the Pretender and
are said to be now surrounding the city
Of Morocco, whittier ABD-EL-AzIz con-
templates returning instead Of seeking
refuge in Damascus. Should this plan
be carried out the Moorish authorities
in Tangier and other coast towns would
doubtless recognize that they had been
premature In proclaiming MULAI HAFIp,
and might reverse their action. One
thing at least seems certain, namely,
that 80 long as ABD-EL-AzIz can secure
surreptitious support from France the
Morocco problem will not be solved, but
remain q source Of peril to International
tranquility.
Almost simultaneously with the I'm
expected news from Casablanca q Ber-
lin newspaper, the Taee6latt, announced
that it was the intention OF Baron Won
AHRENTHAL, the Austro-H Hungarian Min
lister for Foreign Affairs, formally to
annex Bosnia and Herzegovina, which
the Berlin congress simply authorized
the Vienna Government to occupy
Professionally with a view Of averting
conflicts between their Christian and
Mohammedan inhabitants. Now this
announcement may have been merely
a device for testing public opinion on
the subject, or q trial balloon" as the
French call il, but in such cases there
Is always the fear that the move sug-
gested will be made, provided public
opinion favor it. II is certain that the
