New Jersey has been growing Justify for sew
eral decades. but the increase II shows by this
years census surpasses everything il has done
IN the past and places it near the head Of the
list OF states which have Increased their popu-
lation greatly. Its gain of $50. 49s new people
IN the decade makes its percentage of increase
34.7, and lifts 1t from the sixteenth State In the
tnion IN point of population, advancing II above
Sorth carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee. Iowa
and probably Wisconsin,. which Is not Yet re-
ported, all OF which formerly utranked New Jer-
seS.
Its percentage of increase is exceeded only
by that of Oklahoma, Florida and California.
while its actual increase is surpassed only by
that of New York, Pennsylvania, California.
Texas. Oklahoma and Illinois. 1t has gained
more population than either Ohio or Massachu-
setts, both OF them fairly prosperous States. and
ranking by the last census as fourth and seventh
respectively in point of population.
There are two peculiar features in connection
with New Jerseys growth that should he kept
in mind. 1t is an old State and fairly well
settled. by the last census the only States that
exceeded New Jersey in density OF population
were Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Large
percentage OF increase in population appear
rs a rule only IN new States. or in States like
California and Florida, which. though not new.
have a great deal Of open territory. In 1900
New Jersey had 250.3 people to the square mile,
while Florida and California each had less than
membered about New Jersey is that 1t is one OF
the smallest States in the Union. There are
only three smaller. Rhode Island, Connecticut
and Delaware, yet in population 1t ranks with
the greater States OF the Union and surpasses
California. though the latter In area IL the sec
ond State in the Union.
The overflow from New York will account
fot some of the increase in northeast New Jer-
seF- The general establishment of good roads
all over the State attracts population and keepS
ii there, and the great prosperity OF the manu-
featuring centers swells the population still
more. All over the Union il is the towns ana
sections with active manufacturing development
that show large gains in population, and OF this
New Jersey secured Il most liberal share.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

HoQs or Men,

y great hight Is being made in New York TO
prevent bows and youths under II from serving
AZ messengers for the telegraph companies after
10 o'clock AT night. The full story is "a striking
example OF the s'lfishness that underlies the
plans of many large corporations. which in their
greed for large dividends are utterly needless
of the morals or lives of their employees.
The facts are plain and convincing to every
impartial person that night messenger service
results III physical and moral dannation to a
very larg" proportion If the BOYS engaged i'll
this night service. But the prohibition OF the
employment of the boys rs stotttiy resisted by
the companies, which resistance when reduced
to the final analysis resolves itself into the un-
WILLINGNESS "f The companies to employ men.
And this unwintngness is really because it costs
more 10 get the men. and this. of course, would
decrease their dividends II there are ANY cor
porttton in the country which have bled the
people, they are the telegraph and the express
companies. They have watered their stock until
tsiel nave apparently come to believe that the
public is in duty bound to furnish enough profits.
not only to pay large dividends on their stock,
but also Ia MAKE possible a fresh watering every
few wears.
II Is The old story OF the men OF Gadara. The
Master cast the devils out Of the man and they
entered int" the hogs. The man WAS saved. The
logs were lost. The people did not take long to
decide, \ man WAS worth something. to he sure.
hut hc WAS not as valuable az hogs. And so
they hcsouEht this strange being who held this
peculiar view that II man was worth more than
hogs t. depart out Of their coasts and let them
alone.
This is exactly the position of the telegraph
cnmpaases. They think boys are of small value
as compared with dividends, and they would drive
out of the business world the Spirit OF Christ.
But the Spirit of Christ is at work In the world.
ard wherever it appears il declares boldly that
n man lie better than a beast. that humanity il
more important than property. and that all that
u man hath he should give In exchange for his
soul. There may be ups and downs in the con-
ifict, but there Is steady progress. The Spirit Of
Christ must triumph and must dominate in the
affairs of business and society ana Of the ma
tions.
Childhood. womanhood, manhood-tnese must
have the trst place IN our legislation. and must
never be satisfied In the clamor for gold. whether
by telegraph companies or by the saloons.-Rich-
Inond Christian Advocate.

Secretary Knox. in deciding that Charlton. the
Wie-siayer, must be surrendered to the Italian
authorities for trial. holds that perfect reciproci-
ty in the exchange Of criminals il not essential
To the validity of an extradition treaty. He
refers to a number of existing treaties between
Great Britain and other countries wherein the
obligation OF one party to give up fugftives from
justice Is not contingent upon any obligation OF
the party of the other part. In fact. several
OF these international conventions are in terms
unilaterul. providing that British subjects shall

although the latter is distinctly absolyed from
any obligation to reciprocate.
Moreover, this government has on more than
one occasion stipulated for assistance from for
eign governments in the apprehension of fugi-
live criminals, even when We have been unab le
to grant like assistance. because Of some legal
or constitutional impeachment. The neglect or
refusal of the Italian COVE; nment to deliver IN
fugitive criminals from the United States. there
fore. should not be considered to have nullified
the extradition treaty between the two coun-
tries. Even ii such refusal should be regarded
as a violation of the convention. a breach does
not effect an abrogation; treaties are abro1ated
