A CHICAGO FATHER.

Cincinnati Enquirer: A Chicago man who has sixteen children complaims that he is not able to send six of them to school. He has the glorious satisfaction, though of being a living exemplar of the policy opposed to race suicide. What ia it to him if he has brought into the world more cbilddren than he is able to properly support and educate? There are the children; and kind-hearted people of more means, or the public charitable organizations, can take charge of them and keep their souls and bodies together till they are able to work. There is some suggestion of humilation in such a course, but the man has the strenuous distinction of being the proud father of a tremendous flock. If they do not learn to read and write they can hew wood and draw water, or stand on a corner and see how close they can miss the garments of passersby in the expectoration of tobacco juice. Or they can be sent tb the isthmus to dig the canal and die early of tropical fevers. Or, in the course of time, when people get as plenty afe they are in Orient, we can get up great wars and pile the dead so high that the topography of the landscape will be changed and population will be brought within manageable bounds. Wars are not always primarily and principally for the betterment of states and people, or for the purpose of changing the maps and giving the school-book publishers chances with new geographies.■- They are manifest means of decimating the overflow of humanity. They are invitations to the useless portions of the community to enlist and get killed and out of the way, always except, of course, in cases of defense of a person’s own home and country. In this great republic we are not to that point yet, aud may the day be longdeferred. In the meantime the man and woman who raise a small family, and raise them well, and teach them the common duties of humauity and the responsibilities of are prehaps doing better than their neighbors who struggle for numbers rather than quality, or fitness for an exacting eternity.
