Editor. = ‘THE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cire ‘ion of any Newspaper in the Wortd, and as an more than all the other papers published in W ghington. = Kew York Officer Room 93, Tribune Building, Gen. 3 C. Meigs has contributed fto Science some reflections on the revelations which may be expected from the census of 1390. He reaches the conclusion—assuming the Fate of increase during the last ten years, when | all the conditions were favorable, to be 34 per | cent—that we shall be found to have 67,240,900 people in the United States, The ratio here | token is just a trifle above the average ratio for the hundred years of the republic’s history; but is considerably under the ratio on which our population has actually increased within every decennial period except those where seri- ‘ous losses have been suffered through wars and epidemics, Woe have had nosuch drawbacks during the last nine years and eight months. On the contrary, immigration has never been | more active than at certain stages of that | period, when Germany and Ireland especially have poured their discontented peasantry into our ports, That Gen. Meigs has not made an over- estimate may be judged from the substantial agreement between his figures and those of Prof. Silas L, Loomis, some of whose compu- tations appeared in Taz Stan about two months ago. Prof. Loomis sets his prophetic stake at 67,250,000, When the census of 1830 was taken, ex-Superintendent Kennedy, E. B. Elliott of “Walker's statistical atlas.” and others, made advance calculations, varying in their errors from 11 per cent, to 1 per cent, each expert having peculiar method of hisown. Prof. Loomis, however. who makes a point of taking | into account certain variable conditions, like | annexation of territory, wars, increase of im- migration, and the like, was able to bring his estimate within three-hundredths of 1 per cent —a trifling difference which might have been due to unavoidable errors in the official count itself. The inter-confirmatory estimates of these two observers lend interest to the further cal- culations of Gen. Meigs, who looks as far ahead as 1990 to see what our posterity will number. Reducing his ratio to 33.3 per cent. #0 as to allow for various convulsions, he brings the total up to more than twelve hun- dred million souls. He enters also into some speculation as to the increase of trade which will be necessary to supply this vast population with the necessaries of life. But who can tell what the necessaries of life will be one hundred years hence? With the gradual chang- ing of the earth's climate, the experiments that are continually making with new theories or with old ones revived, who knows what the civilization of another hundred years may bring forth in the development of the race? Assuming an extreme case may not mankind by that time have become converted to Dr. Oswald's ideas about fresh air, and be living | wholly out of doors; and to Goethe’s youthful aspirstious toward the state of nature, and be going about unclothed; and to Dr. Tanner's notion of the healthfulness and happiness of an exclusive water diet, and be abstaining from foods? The increase of population may be figured out with a tolerable accuracy, perhaps; bat the numerous important “variables” in the development of domestic and social condi- tions discourage confident speculation con- cerning their aspect in the distant future, pei nasss onal David Dudley Field declared before the American Bar Association recently in session in Chicago that there is no civilized country in the world where it takes so longs time to ac- complish the punishment of a criminal as in this, He might have added also that there is no other country where criminals generally get off with so light a punishment, or where so many escape puvishment altogether. And he might very properly have supplemented this observation by saying that the law makers, the bench, the bar, and the jury are alike respon- sible for this deplorable state of things. He might have called attention to the defective criminal-breeding laws in some states; to the not unusual spectacle of a feeble, half-hearted prosecution, in discouraging contrast with the energy and ingenuity, sometimes perverted into unscrupulous trickery, of the defence; to the frequent thwarting of justice through clumsy provisions for the selection of jurors, or through abuse of the legal requirements by corrupt officers of the court, or through direct corruption of individual jurymen; to the in- stances of assistance, active or passive, rendered by judges to influential criminals, to whom they may perhaps owe their election and through whom they may expect a re-election, and to the indirect aid and comfort supplied by honest but soft-hearted judges in the shape of inadequate sentences. And from his gen- eral view of the working of the machinery of the criminal courts of the country, he would derive some justification for the belief that this machinery operates more frequently for the protection of the criminal classes than for the protection of society. Often the effect of the existence of this machinery is to save the offe from punishment by individuals or protective organizations, and through some flaw or deliberate perversion in its method of opera- tion to let him loose unpunished to prey upon the world again, In scch cases the courts for- bid the punishment of criminals by anybody but themselves. and then aid or permit the offenders to escape without any punishment Whatsoeve: $< While New York City is still sleeping on her | Grant monument fund, Fort Leavenworth pre- pares to unveil astatue of the eminent soldier— | the first a grateful country has had a chance to | foast its eyes upon. It was a St. Louis editor, removed to New York, who saved the city from disgrace by the failure of the Bartholdi pedes- tal scheme; it will be in order now for some shrewd journalist from Chicago to move across the continent and begin operations in behalf of the Grant memorial and the Washington arch. —$—$—— Some of the prophets are predicting a dry September because the new moon appeared in | the western sky last week right side up.
