ANGLO-SAXON DOMINANCE.
Is the recent opening address
of the president of the British as
sociation at Montreal, Sir Richard
Temple put in a small compass a
great many important facts. His
subject was the "General Statistics
of the British Empire." The area
of that Empjre, including all the
countries -politically under its con
trol, embraces ten million square
miles or one-fifth of the habitable
globe. About one-quarter of this
area has been topographically
surveyed:
The total coast line is 28,500
miles, with forty-eight largo
harbors. Only one-fifth of the
area is cultivated or occupied.
There is room enough in Canada
and Australia to support a pop
ulation of 200,000,000. The total
population of the empire am
ounts to 315,000,000, of which 39,
000,000 are Anglo-Saxons and
188,000,000 are Hindoos. The
annual revenue amounts to 203,
000,000, of which sum 89,000,000
comes from the United Kingdom,
74,000,000 from India and 40,
000,000 from the colonies and
dependencies. Only one-fourth
of the total revenue is derived
from land taxation. Including
local taxation the revenue is 2(54,
000,000 and amounts to 1 5s 4d
per head per annum. The num
ber of men trained to arms
amounnts to 850,000 about 700,000
of these being of the fair or domi
nant race. The defensive arma
ments by sea and land cost 41,
000,000 annually, which is less
than that shown by any great state
in the world except the United
States. There are 5C0,000 police
men in the empire, one to every
571 inhabitants and to every six
teen square miles. There are 240
war vessels and 30,000 merchant
ships, manned by 270,000 sailors.
The factory steam-power iu the
world is represented by 7,500,000
horse-power; of that total 2,250,
000, orabout30 per cent, is British.
If the main elements of national
industry be taken together name
ly, commerce, manufactures, min
ing, agriculture, carrying trade
and banking, the total 2,000,000,-
000 and upwards annually is about
the same for the United King-
dom and the United States. ''
But the United States are
advancing the fastest and are
already passing ahead. There are
G75,000 persons convicted annual
ly of crime in the empire, of which
number more than nineteen-twen-tieths
pertain to India. The num
ber of paupers in the United
Kingdom under relief amounts to
1,000,000, or rather less than one
thirtieth of the population, and the
cost of their maintenance is 10,
000,000 sterling annually. In re
gard to .the postoffice, the letters
posted annually in the world are
5,200,000,000; of this total 1,500,
000,000, or 34 per cent., are in
the British empire. Respecting
education, there are 5,250,000 pu
pils at schools in the United King
dom, 860,000 in Canada, 611,000
in Australia, and 2,200,000 in In
dia, making a total of S,921,000
pupils.in the British empire.
It is still an open question
whether Great Britain is strength
ened by her vast colonial posses
sions. There are less than forty
million Anglo Saxons in the Brit
ish empire, but these are the gov
erning power in an empire oi 315,
000,000. The English-speaking
people of the world now consider
ably exceed a hundred millions.
The fifty-five millions of inhab
itants in the United States for the
most part speak Euglish; the re
mainder to round out the
hundred millions are found in. the
British colonies. Four groat empires-have
to-day, practically, pos
session of the globe. They are
Great Britain, the United States,
Russia and China. The most ag
gressive people on the .globe to--day
are the Anglo-Saxon's, or in a
broader sense, those who -speak
English. They are the colonists,
the people who are ransacking the
globe for new possessions. The
dominant race oa the earth will be
the one which has this language at
command, with the instincts of the
Anglo-Saxon.
Yesterday's Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette has a communica
tion from James Briggs, a miner
employed at the Altiquippa mines,
in which he makes the statement,
that as an outcome of last week's
riot at Pine Run the working
miners have organized for the
purpose of defending themselves
against future attacks of strik
ers. He says they have sworn to
a compact, demanding life for a
life if any of their number falls
while going to work. Having al
ways lived honest, honorable lives,
and being good citizens, they will
not be shot down without revenge
The letter defends the working
miners, and asserts that few per
sons not located near the Monon
gahela valley have any idea of the
terrorizing threats or intimidations
used towards those refusing to
join the strike.
Theke has been some rivalry in
the introduction of bills for the
admission of "Washington territory
as a sjate in the Union. Delegate
Yoorhees, of the territory, said his
bill contained a provision regulat
ing corporations, while Senator
Dolph's bill was silent on this
question. In reply to this, Sena
tor Dolph said Voorhees had never
seen his bill, and could not there
fore describe its provisions, that
his assertions were purely specu
lative. Senator Dolph denies that
his bill contains a single clause fa
vorable to monopoly, as charged by
Yoorhees. Both bills have been
iutroduced, and a study of them is
said to show that Voorhees7 state
ments were unfounded. Dolph's
bill contains nothing favorable to
monopolies, but Voorhees7 bill has
certain provisions which are in
tended to limit monopolies.
The N. Y. Sun estimates the
Vanderbilt residuary estate at
$90,000,000. Cornelius will have
52,G50,000 absolutely, and over
6,000,000 for life; Wm. K. 50,
500,000 absolutely, and over $G,
000,000 for life, and the other two
sons and four daughters will each
have somewhat over $5,500,000
absolutely, and over 6,000,000
for life. The total estate amounts
to over 6182,000,000,
