The oflicinl population of Port
land lias been placed at a little
more tlinn 207 thousand, while Se
nttlc is credited with nbout fifteen
per cent more. It is generally be
licved that neither census is cor
red. In both cities ninny names
were thrown out. nud Portlaud
claims to have gotten the worst of
the deal. Doth cities arc open to
censure. It was the duty of the
regularly appointed enumerators to
take the census, but over zealous
individuals, fearful that some names
would be overlooked or would not
be completed within the specified
time, voluntarily went out nud so
licitcd names. No wonder chaos
resulted nud names were thrown
out by the wholesale. It is the first
time within our knowledge that
nuy city ever took matters in its
own hand and "balled up" the
census takers. It would have oc
casioned no surprise if all the regu
lars had immediately quit work
when the meddlers began to inter
fere. If the time was too short it
would have readily been extended.
Doth cities were entitled to n care
ful count, nud they would have
gotten it if it had taken nil year.
It would, of course, been nil right
to call a census taker's attention to
nny omissions that might have been
made, but it was nil wrong for in
dividuals to get out with pencil nud
paper and write names themselves
An it is none know the true popu
latiou of either city, necntise no
true census was taken. People in
other states will ever look upon the
oflicinl censuses of these cities with
n great deal of suspicion. And
who can blame them for so doing?
It is quite ossible that we shall
be charged with both bad taste nud
judgment if we do not go into rapt
ures over the character of the late
Count Tolstoi. It may be that through
a misunderstanding of the facts we
do not appreciate his real worth; we
can only judge him through the
glimpses of him that have come to
us. Hut despite his masterful nat
ural abilities, we cannot see why
his life work should be n theme for
extravagant eulogy. In his youth
was n soldier, n race horse man, n
gambler and libertine. With the
Jack Johnson, world's champion
heavy weight pugilist, wno was
arrested yesterday charged with as
sntilt on Annette Cooper, n show
trirl, and with disorderly conduct,
was discharged from cutody in New
York city today. Miss Cooper did
not appear. Instead she scut a let
ter enclosing a physician's certifi
cate that she had been ill in bed for
the last ten days, and was in no
condition to leave her home, and
requested that Johnson be kept
custody for two weeks, when she
would be able to appear against
him. Magistrate Frcschi refused
to put the case over, nud discharg
ed the prisoner.
The above press dispatch was
published in all the big dailies dur
ing the past week. The nature of
the assault is not given, but the
fact is made manifest that this ccr
tain magistrate has little regard for
justice. Because n young woman
is injured so badly that she is una
ble to nppcar ngninst her nssailant
the case is dismissed. Had the
latter been just a plain, every day
negro instead of tlic world s cliam
pion pugilist, it is likely he would
have been held for years if ncces
ssry. It serves another indication
that justice is blind in dealing with
the powerful. The poor cirl mav
spend weeks in bed, pay for mcdi
cal attendance, lose her time and
struggle through it nil ns best she
mny, while the one responsible for
tier condition escapes scot free hap
.... . . . . .
py in me Knowledge that lie may
with impunity assault auv other
girl so long as he injures her so
badly that she is unable to leave
her bed to testify onaltist him.
Verily "cnual richts to nil nnd snc-
cinl privileges to none" in many
instances mean nothing but empty
worus.
t A wisely conducted newspaper is
ike n banquet, says an exchange.
Iiverythiug is served up with n
view to charity. Help yourself to
what you want, do not condemn
the entire spread because pickles
nnd onions may be included. If
you do not relish them, somebody
may find them palatable. He gen
erous nud broad enough to select
gracefully such reading matter from
newspapers as will be ngreenble to
your mental taste. You, ns an in
dividual, nre not compelled to swnl
low everything. We do not nil
think alike 011 every subject, nud it
is a good thing, ns it makes variety
and variety is the spice of exist
ence.

value of good art as creative of a refin

and lust so surely as people become
familiar with the best in art, ust so
quickly will tlic crude In art be displaced

It is, of course, idle to suppose that one
shall become a competent Judge of art
simply through studying for a time pho

One of the leading art critics of our
own Inhn C. Van Dvkc. savs!
"You must look at the pictures studl

years before you can come to a full ap
