BERNARD. WILMINGTON. N. O. SATrBtJ. AY M.0RNING, Feb. HOW CITIES GROW. j There has been, a good deal of writing: done on : the remarkable ' growth of cities in; .this country and in IJurope, the tendency of the'pop ulatidn j being to i crowd into the -ir- rrr j i l 1. 1. 4. to which- this is being carried until we see the figures showing the in crease of the urban populations and tae( steady growth Of the towns ana cities. , Th following condensation of an article on this subject, by E. J. James, statistician, which we find in the Baltimore Sun, contains much interesting and valuable information. ilt says: j "j'TEe United States affords striking examples of this development. Owing to the large extent of its unsettled ter ritory a diffusion of population would be expected rather than the concen tration in cities indicated in the census. In 1790. of tlie entire nnnulation of 3-929 214 hut lil 4.72 narsrms rpsiriori in cities paving 8,000 of population, or but 3 35 per cent, of the whole. In iow tne percentage was out o.oz. in 180 the percentage of city population was increased to 20.93 and in 1890 it, was 29 20.; At the last mentioned date there were in the United States 448 cities having 8,000 or more inhabitants. As many asj 18,284,385 persons out of a total population of 62.622.250 resided in cities, lhe urban population was .really larger, since, urban conditions 1 prevail in ' communities smaller than those having 8,000 inhabitants. If we Skll a i-hm mil m'ftr Vk'nn-inM A fCf J U . "U J tants 'urban,' we shall find that 33.21 per cent, of our population in 1890 lived in cities. The growth - of large cities in our sparsely settled States is a - nomenon presents itself in Australia. Betweenri880 and 1S90 the population of places in the United States navingr i nnn - : i. u : a 47.07 per cent., while the rural popula Uonr including that of the smaller towns, increased but "12.66 per cent. Other countries have a like experi ence. Over 61 per cent, of the people of England" and Wales live in cities having bver 10,000 ( inhabitants, and the Jncrease of rural population be -twee a 1881 and 18fl was but 13.4 per cent., against 15 3 1 per ,ceat. for the cities. The percentage of rural popu lation in Frao.ce has fallen since 1846 from 73.58 to 62 6 ? in fact, since 1886 the rural noDiiIation has rlAolinoH i while Paris has added 103.407 to hr f-population. Since 1871 Germany's cities have increased from 2,373 to 2, 891 and her city populatiou from 14, 790,798 to 23,243,229. Her rural popu lation was smaller in 1890 than in 1871. I "The. most remarkable fact.of urban lite in recent years is the rapid growth of exeat cities that is to say, of cities of 200000 inhabitants and upward. Be ginning with 1850, the great cities have tended, to absorb the increase of popu lation of the countries in which tney are situated. Statistics of city popula tion are commonly inaccurate, or mis leading, owing to the fact that they re fer to the -political or legal city and do not include the entire urban area. Lon don, for1 example; is often credited with buti 4,211,056 inhabitants, where as its real population is "over 6 000,000. Political New York in 1890 had but 1,515,301, but including the suburban area identified with it the population (Of '-'Greater New ; York" is found to I be 2,710,125. Similarly . the pop ulation of "politicd Baltimore" in i 1890 was 434.439, whereas it real population, including Canton and other suburan area identified with Bal timore in a hundred, ways, was much over 500,000. Chicago's population - between 1880 and 1890 crew fim sns . 185 toil.069,860, because in thattrecade Cmpago increaseg its area from 35.6 v square miles to 174.5 square miles. Be tween 1850 and j 1860 Philadelphia added 127 square miles to its area. Boston and New York have gained vastly in population by similar land grabs. Fair comparisons of cities and their growths are almost impossible, says Mr. James, owing to the differing relations of cities ; to their- suburban areas. The real Berlin, he says, has a population of 2,254,570, not 1,677.304, as commonly reported. So Paris has nearly 4,000,000 instead of under 3,000,000. . There are various ways to ac count for this crowth of cities and iowns. f In-the first place there is the "natural inclination of people to seek association. ! This is as instinc tive in the human family as it is in the birds of the air, or in the an jimals in forest or on plain. Jt is to this, perhaps, more '. than anything else may be attributed the existence 01 the first, village. """Jut in 6ur own" time this moTe menl to the towns and citiea has more marked than ever, result of railroads, telegraphs, other means of transportation the and and communication, all of which center in the cities and radiate from them. Then there is the industrial move ment to which mighty impetus has. been given by the inventive genius :'V ' .1 ;: I -: '--t ;" nRTISING BATES pXlLY)'-jne square ontdlflT two "days, 5.75; three days, g.50; one ay- Ji..a ti m: one week. M.00; Tnnr w.uu, of the age which- devises .labor-sav- Ling machinery, and this, too, has its centers in the cities where it has the advantage of abundant labor and transportation, One industry be gets another; one labor-saving ma chine suggests , another, and -"-these industries draw population to them as naturaljy as the flowers of the field draw the bees that sip from them..- ' The growth and progress of cities' brought improvements-- in the way of, comforts and conveniences, schools, ' recreations and other at tractions that" give fascination to city life, ascompared ' with the moreonely and isolated rural life, and hence it is not strange that peoplf who" live by wages earned, peopliLwho have families to rear and educate, or the young who are ambitious or inclined to gaiety, should "tu'rn to the. city and cast their lots in them. Perhaps it might have been better for many of them if they had remained in the country, but this is the fact, nevertheless, and this accounts for the many thousands who have left and are still leaving the rural dis tricts to try their fortunes in the overcrowded cities.: , And this will probably be the case for jears to come, for these cities will continue to grow, to expand their areas, as they have been, doing, with their street cars and .other means of rapid transit, which enable a, person of snftll means to have a home considerably distant from the central points and yet hear enough to enable him to attend to his daily labor in any part of the city where he may b&" employed, so that there, is practically no limit to the. areas of cities now. The wage-earner may now have, his home two or three miles from his place of occupation, arid attend to his daily labor, which he could not have done so well be fore this rapid transit became so general.- .;.,- ' .-. - There are other reasons to account for the growth of our cities, but snow that these are sufficient to there is nothing strange in it, and that we may look for its continuance.- '. '. ; . WISE TIRES. .The subject of wide tires for vehicles that run on the common roads is attracting attention in the Legislature, Where efforts are be ing made to encourage their use, as has been done in some States, New York, for instance, where it was not deemed 'advisable to resort to com pulsory legislation, as has been done in some other States. Two Jjills have been introduced in the Legisla ture, on which the Raleigh Post thus comments: "Bills have been introduced by Messrs. Carroll, of Alamance, and Clarkson, of Mecklenburg, which have for their purpose the adoption of wide tires on all wagons and other draft vehicles, and it is greatly to be hoped that these bills willbe adopted for all of the counties in the ' State. They levy no taxes; they impose no fines or penalties; they do not compel any one to use .wide tires, and in order to do so throw away wagons or narrow-tired wheels; they simply encourage people to use the wide tire, whenever new wagons, or new wheels for old wagons, need to be purchased. "It is generally admitted that while the dirt roads are the least expensive to build, that they are the most costly roads to use, especially during the Win , ter season, when the surface is is soft ened by rain and cut to pieces by the narrow wheels. But all experiments and experience go to show that the use of-wide tires of the dirt roads, whether these roads be of sand or clay, not only does not cut the roads to pieces, ' but actually packs and smooths the surface, consequently the use of wide tires ' benefits ,the road, and hence we should do everything possible to en courage the use of these wide tires on the public roads of the State. This will be accomplished by the adoption of the bills proposed by-Messrs Carroll and jjlarksoh,- which simply provide that. any person using wide tired wagons, can, for a limited number of years, be relieved of a portion of their road tax, not exceeding one-half of the road tax paid by such person during any year. It is wise to adopt this measure, as it will set the people to thinking about the wide tires: will en courage na help them to make the change; and this measure works no hardship on people not using or own mg wagon 8, for the reason that the adoption of the' wide tire benefits the road more than would the, payment of mis part or a man's road tax. This is a new departure which it will take some time to educate peo ple up to, but we predict that af te ; it has been tried but little persuawon will be needed to keep it up. , The' wide tire will speak for itself as it has done wherever it i in use, and where its advantages have ; been so fully tested. Narrow tires are road destroyers, wide tires road improvers; the more the former are used the worse the roads become, the more the latter are used the better they become, and without costing a dol lar, i.. - TROUBLESOME dUESTIOITS. There is much truth in the follow-- ing from the-Statesville Landmark: It is a Very difficult thinv fnr a. nn utical party to maintain power and popularity together. From our stand point the present General Assembly nas made very few mistakes; in the' main it has legislated m wisdom; and yet the Democratic party' of the State is much weaker by reason of this Mjgisiauve session than it was at the last election. And this is not by reason, either, of its dealings w"u "Mf questions, out with small and local ones, nor yet its fault oecauseot its action on. even these, ior upon manv of thnm it hau Tint acted. - But dispensary agitators, stock iw ajfuaiors, proposed new counties, proposed amendment of town and mtv charters, and a whole train of meastrres like these have ripped tip any number of communities and. caused much strife and party division. Tt la hnrnv1 t.v notmng serious will come of it all, but is a safe general proposition that it is as difficult for a victorious party to stay ill as U Siu, - : . aemorTplate. I For several years there has beerf much ! contention in Congress over the price paid for armor-plate made- for our warships. This price nas sometimes been" as high as $600 a. ton, which the advocates of Teduc tion contended, was extortion and as proof cited the tact that these same manufacturers , were snipping tne same quality of armor plate to Kus sia and selling it under contractor $400 a ton, or' $200 less than they were- charging " this Government for it. . ' - " The result of this discussion was the appointment by Congress a couple years ago of a committee to investigate the subject of the manu facture of armor plate, and the fea sibility of establishing one or more Government plants for manufactur-. tiiriug it, after the. . manufacturers had refused to accept the' price of fered, threatened to quit making for. the ships then on the stocks, and close up their establishments. These committees reported, but that'is vs far as action on that line has gone, the war coming on when it was nec essary to hurry up war ships and the item of cost was lost sight of. j; Now, however, that it has been decided to largely increase our navy, the plate manufacturers are getting in their work again and are striking for $54:5 per ton, while they are shipping plate to Europe for nearly $150 a ton less, and it is contended' by men who profess to be familiar with the manufacture that there would be handsome profit in it at $300 a ton, while offers have been made - by parties alleged to be re sponsible to furnish all the-Govern-ment needs for less.' . i I . The Government has heretofore been buncoed in tho qnality of some of the plate furnished, and. this move for $545 a ton looks like an effort to bunco it again under the impression that it will be compelled to pay that price or let the work lag on the ships that are now being built. If they don't get what they demand they will probably take what is offered, as they did before, and not shut up shop as they threat ened a couple years ago.

' Gladstone Floored, An anecdote of Gladstone at the time of 'liia greatest rivalry with Disraeli is told. At a dinner party the subject of Judaism cropped up.1 ! ' " . il "Admitted," said Gladstone, ."that the Hebrews have given the world a philoso pher in Spinoza, musicians in Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, a poet in Heine, the fact ' remains that they have not produced a single statesman." There was silence for a moment. Every one know, of course, that this was a direct allusion to Disraeli. Then one of. the company stepped Into the breach. j : - "Mr. Gladstone," ho said, "as a matter of fact the Hebrews have produced states man, and one of the greatest the world has seen." ' ! . The fighting instinct of Mr. Gladstone surged up at onco. "May I ask, sir," he said pointedly, "who was this Hebrew statesman? ' livery one, anticipating a .more .than lively scene, waited in tense expectation for the answer. It came in the quietest tones, --Moses, sir."

It startles a man to tuna cor ner and to come suddenly into a gloomy street where i the yellow glare of funeral torches throws grotesque shadows alqng the house walls. . There is a quick glitter of censers, a low wail from the mourners, a measured tread of white robed, chanting priests, a smell of incense banging in the hot air, and behind it all rises a great high object In black, and along its top lies the coffin. - Flowers are piled around the dead, and following the hearse is a crowd, of mourners, jostling one another as they meet in the narrow (passageways. It is a sight that Is apt to dome to a man in his . sleep, and the dreams that follow it are not always the most pleasant New York Sun. i i ' ' : An Old French Custom.

A Greek house is said to have issued 40,000 bales on March contracts,' expecting to break, jthe market. Other ettorts m the same di rection were made by lesser b pases with purposes of manipulation j in view. The houses originally issuing the notices subsequently became con spicuous in their ettorts to get their cojtton back again. The scheme -of breaking the niarket by deliveries failed to work, and after opening steady with prices unchanged to two points lower there was a sharp rally and a general scramble to cover, as well as to buy for invest: ment. From the highest prices of the forenoon to the lowest of the afternoon there was a decline of four to' six points. Throughout the session the situation was relieved by reports of continued stability of the market for cotton cloths and bv claims of large orders for more goods, with supplies in spinners' hands not 'oyer full. jThe market was finally barely steady at a net loss of two to four points. !
