the neiehborhood of 5000 600 popula
ton.
Whether such gain as that is poss-
lble or not. time alone can show II is
certain that the remarkable gain OF
New York in the decennial period
stated was great surprise TO the
world, and Of immense qualification to
New York: and we see no reason TO
object to the computation which shows
that within thirty years to come, New
York City may overtake, or even pass,
London in population.
Speaking of population. the returns
from France continue TO show a de
creaslng birth rate. The latest reports
give the birth rate in France al
thirty-three to the thousand in popula-
tion, but in 1875, right after the great
war with Germany. the birth rate OF
France was forty-two to the thousand,
1t was thirty.six to the thousand in
1890, and now but thirty three to the
thousand in 1910. This caused scorn
full comment in Germany, where the
birth rate was so very much higher;
but now all al once the Germans are
checked in their Growing over France
by the fact that Germany shows In
the last census returns the least birth
rate that it has shown FOR many doc
ades This decrease ip birth rate ap
plies to the German working classes as
well as to the nobility and to the rich
commercial men The rule seems to be
general, The declining birth rate af
fccts ali classes in Germany, and 1t
seems, in fact, to be the rule through
out the world that. with the increase
OF population, wealth, and luxury, the
birth rate gradually declines.

THE ALASKAN PARALYSIS.

The Portland Oregonian is a paper
which has been very sound and very
able in all Of the conservation conten-
tions. and has been properly resentful
Of the Pinchot reactionary policies as
applied all through this western region
and also in Alaska 1t Us in favor of
the opening of the natural resources of
all new regions to the pioneers in those
regions, so that they can subdue the
natural difficulties and open the region
to settlement and civilization. It fully
sympathizes with the people of Alaska
who are driven almost TO desperation by
the refusal of the national government
to allow them to mine coal, which is,
so TO speak, right nnder their feet,
while they are required to pay exorbi
tant prices for coal brought in from
British possessions or Japan, The Ore
gonian gives the following sound advice
TO the Cordova people who, in their
have determined to mine
coal in spite Of the government s pro.
hibition;

ever made any better by breaking it. and
II VIII require more than 100 men. in
TACT. more men than there are in Ala ska,
TO hold or work the claims In violation
OF government regulations II Is exas
perating and almost ridiculous that these
good American citizens arc deprived OF
The right 10 make use Of the natural re
sources with which the Almighty favored
them: but the Government OF the United
states is founded upon principles of law
and order, that cannot he violated.
Eventually The American people who
have been misled and bunkoed by the
Pinchots and others like him Will recog

on Alaska. and there Will be a revision
Of laws that Will correct the present evils.
Meanwhile nothing Will he gained and
much may be lost by unwarrantcd con
f1ict with the Government.
There is not the least doubt of the
legal and practical soundness of the ad-
vice given by the Oregonlan. Al the
same time, we believe that the people
of Cordova can give to the public the
same sort of showing that q man Gun

bread, to relieve the sufferings of his
freezing or hungry family; with the ad.

come a question in that case whether
jury would consider the people of
Cordova guilty of any offense if they
help themselves to the coal necessary
to keep them warm and to cook their
food, It is true that law and orde,
must prevail, but back of all that il is
true that human necessities must be
met, and that human beings in des-
peration from hunger or cold will take
what is at hand whether the law is
with them or not. Eventually, as the
Orcgonion says, without doubt the
evil will he cured but it will not be
cured this year, and it is this year

Pursuing the subject further in an
other editorial paragraph, the Oregon
ian says;
The spectacle OF The United States
cruiser Buffalo. 1000 miles away from
coalIne station and with empty hunkers
and no chance TO move until a relief ship
arrives. ought TO call the attention OF
the Government to the fact that the en-
barge on Alaska coal is an expensive
proposition for the Government as we'll

miles Of where the Buffalo is lyln:;

OF very high grade steam coal which is

II is expected that the Government will
send relief vessel from the Puget Sound
navy Yard The expense OF such a trip
would be enormous. but the Government
is rich. and besides we should not grudge
such outlays at this time so long as we

OF our descendants, few centuries
hence, will have the use of the coal OF
which we are now deprived.
Which shows that the heart of the
Oregonlan is absolutely sound, and that
its mind is straight and patriotic on the
main question involved.

structlon of the battleship Maine quotes
one of the passengers on board the
City of Washington as follows;
y party of us were sitting In the cabin
engaged in idle conversation. 1t was, a
ion o'clock. Suddenly we were startled
by. loud report. As by a single i'm
pulse our little group rushed TO 1he port
holes and saw an immense flash shoot
up In the air With a horrible grinding,
kissing noise that might have been an
eartnquake or cyclone. Debris of all

that the Maine was being hred upon,
but afrerward: as the City OF Washing

into one of the boats OF the City OF
Washington, and the scenes I witnessed
were heartrendlng beyond description.
:, Two OF the small boats on board
the City of Washington were stove in
by the debris from the Maine The bat

about thirty minutes after the explosion:
into a hospital. Many OF the rescued
men were brought on board. almost nude.

an hour after the explosion Consul Gen

and Captain General Blanco's chief OF
staff came on board. General Lee re-
NAMED with US all night.
When all was over. and the casualties
were estimated, II was found that ESQ
seamen. including two commissioned Of
fcers, had lost their lives.
If the story told by that passenger
is correct, that an immense flash shot
up in the air with horrible, grinding,
kissing noise, and that there was more
than one explosion, this would accord
we'll with Admiral Melville's theory,
where he says that the magazines would
explode one after another il the ex-
plosion was from within, and it would
seem to be more likely than not that
the Maine blew mp from within.

We do not notice the enthusiastic
rapture in President Nephi j.. Morris
and other prohibition lights this year
that they manifested two years and
more ago. A mere change in the pcr.
sonality of the liquor sellers, which is
all that is possible under the law, does
not appeal TO them as great reform.

Two officers of the National Guard .
of Hawaii have asked for detail as avi-

experienced militia officers and men
who have taken much interest In the
theoretical side of flying.

above named officers came within few
hours Of the announcement of the
Guards up-to- date plans. Col Jones

Captain Nicely are qualified by their
ability to arrange for an absence from
their respective civil duties.
