Pittsburg's Disappointment.

Pittsburg expresses its disappointment
with the population figures that have just
been announced by the census Office,
which show that according to the Official
count there were in the united cities Of
Pittsburg and Allegheny 533. 900 people.
Ten years ago the combined population
of these two was 451 ,512. and thus there
has been an increase Of 1893. or 1872
per cent. whereas in the preceding dec
ade the two cities not then united, gained
81. per cent. 1t was the confident ex-
pectation OF the Pittsburgers that this
years count would show a gain greater
numerically than that OF the previous
decade and that the total count would
show population of over $4,000 peo-
pie. They claim that the census figures
show an actual loss Of $4,000 in popula
ton within two years.
Cynical critics Of the western Pennsyl-
vania metropolis win doubtless aver that
the failure to grow as rapidly as expected
has been due to the unfortunate reputa-
ton which the community has acquired
through repeated disturbances, and in
consequence Of the unsavory doings Of
some of its prominent jewellers. This,
however. Is hardly justifable. A city
viii eTOW DIS T6ppuIy as INDUSTRIAL COI-
ditions permit, regardless Of moral and
political considerations. The truth prob
ably is that Pittsburg has begun to ap-
proach the point of saturation. 1t is no
longer necessary. Furthermore. to concen-
trate Industrial establishments within the
municipal area. Owing to improvements
in transportation industries that would
otherwise have conferred within the ur-
ban district are now scattered for many
miles along the rivers.
II Pittsburg wants to mount more rap
idly in the list Of American big cities il
will probably be compelled to cast its
boundaries back. to annex large numbers
Of small towns that lie within the indus
trial radius of its center. This is what
Chicago is proposing to do on an Inn
mense scale, in order to give IT q popu-
lation rivaling that of New York. But
even that sort Of growth has its dis
advantages and yields but little satisfac-
ton compared with the peculiar stimula-
ton Of pride afforded by evidence that a
city is really growing bigger within its
own set bounds: 1t Is beside the mark
to suggest that congestion brings it's
evils. Pittsburg would be entirely will
ing to face the dangers that attend rapid
municipal growth for the sake OF gaining
materially on the million mark that is
the cherished ideal OF many OF our mis-
guided American communities.

The Lady in Chief.
ON the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Kinglake's Lady in Chief survived the
great majority Of her Crimean contem-
poraries. and bore a fame which not one
Of them surpassed, II. indeed. any of them
permanently equaled II. That war had
the advantage Of being chronicled and
sung by one Of the most engaging his
torians and the most popular poet of the
period. and 1t produced in the armies OF
at least three OF the combatants men OF
splendid heroism and Of deeds which ire
sisibly appeal TO the sympathy and ad-
miration Of mankind. At the same time
1t was marked with some of the most
abominable horrors OF warfare and most
discreditable examples Of administrative
incapacity and laundering, II not Of sordid
scoundrelism. and its origin and causes
are not so clear and just as might be de-
sired, so that we must reckon ii on the
whole by no means a glorious war.
For this reason the most honored and re-
nowned name connected with II may ulti-
mately be not that Of any soldier OF Bala-
klava. or Alma, or the Malakon, or de-
fender of Sebastopol, but that Of the Lady
Of the Lamp of Scutari.
For the work Of Florence Nightingale
during that war was wholly good.

Esperantizing Washington.
the Baltimore American.

From every land and every cline are
met together in Washington the esperan-
tizing hosts. and the language that has
the syllable flow of a sonnet. coupled
with the antijar of the latest type
automobile. is being heard on every
corner. The laboratory of the ma
ton is accustomed to experimentation
and IL will survive. The progress OF the
world-encircling language has really been
surprisingly rapid. and the showing that
is being made is remarkable. Perhaps in
time a universal tongue will be the tie
that will bind the earth by faster cleats
than treaties. In the meanwhile Wash.
ington Is having the experience Of its life
and the streets and avenues are aglow
with the sun Of esperanto prosperity.

The Ascetic.

And then for solace to the Morrow

And sought the happiness and calm
relief
Which may by toll and sacrifice be
earned.
Intent upon the penance or the task.
He bent his head through many a

Eager to give and yet too proud to ask
The simple kindness OF passing

SO free
He needed not, but in his narrow way
For shadows past and dreams OF
things to be
Spurned the o'erhowing bounty Of
