10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1900. GROWTH OF THE NATION SOME OP THE IJTDICATIOKS OP THE TWELFTH CENSUS. Increase of Farm Population Keeps Closely to That of the Citie. Chlcajro Record. Of the 75.O00.O00, (more or less; the ex act number Is not yet known, even to the IMrector of the Census) Inhabitants of the "Dnlted States, 19,070,954 dwell In cities of 25,000 or more population. There are CkT7G,97& farms and 7298 cattle ranches In Vlk TTmUb CHo4ab wis.1M.-i4 ft fntnl if 5,784,276, which, estimating five persons AUCU, WUU1U1 &.UKL VUUU1CU LU b iiUUl, represents an agricultural population of 28,921,380. This leaves 26,000,000 or there abouts In villages and towns of less than 25,000 population. In 1S80 there -were 75 cities In the United States with a population of 25,000 or more, aggregating 9,917,822; In 1890 there were 124 cities, with 25,000 population or more, aggregating 14,834,691, and this year there are 1C1 cities -with a population of 25,009 or more, making a total of 19,C70,984. This shows an increase of 49.57 per cent In the urban population during the first decade, and 3L92 per cent during the second dec ade. In other -words, the city population of the "United States has not increased so rapidly during the last 10 years as it did during the previous 10 years. The fact surprises the statisticians. Some cities, like Omaha and Sioux City, sprang up like mushrooms between 1880 and 1890, but were unable to sustain their population durimr the hard times, and in 1893 began to fall back. Others, like Memphis, did not wake up until 1890, and then spread like the traditional banyan tree. The cities which show the greatest In crease of population during the last 10 years and their percentage of Increase arc as follows: Increase.1 Increase, per cent-I per cent. South Omaha..222.51iL.os Angeles 103.35 Superior, Wis..l59.46St. Joseph, Mo. 95.81 Newcastle. Pa. .144.30 East St Louis.. 5.49 Butte.

Twenty years ago, -when the 10th census was taken. Seattle, Superior City and South Omaha did not exist Spokane had a population of 330 people, Butte had 3363, Portland. Or., 17.000; East St Louis. 9W0. and Los Angeles. 11.030. The only cities that have fallen oft In population during the last 10 years are the following: . oer'eenti i cent Trov. X. Y O.uOJSioux City 12.41 Bay City, Mich .0.75 Omaha 25.9S Albany O.SllLincoln 27.17 Saginaw 8.07J With the exception of Albany and Troy this decrease is more apparent than ac tual, and Is the result of the census frauds committed in 1890, where there was a great rivalry between neighboring com munities, and they are now suffering the penalty. It is significant that there has been no remonstrance or complaint in many of the cities named, except Al bany, and an Investigation lias satisfied everybody there that the original enumer ation was accurate. Lincoln, Onriha and Sioux City, which have suffered the worst, have not said a -word. Several cities that appear in the list of those that have increased complain that they -were not credited with their full pop dilation: th;'.t errors were made; that -whole blocks -were overlooked; that a con Biderable percentage of the population -was out "of town on the day of the enu meration, and have taken the trouble in several cases to make a police census, but in no case has the origiml count been impeached to a degree .sufficient to justify re-enumeration. Experts expected that the urban popu lation would i-how an enormous Increase during the last 10 years,. It Is the popu lar impression that most of the Immi grants from foreign countries settle in the cities: that the attractions of city ljfe draw people from the villages to work in the shops and factories, and that the boys and girls drift from the farms to the centers of population to avail themselves of the larger opportunities offered to the ambitious. But this impression seems to he exaggerated. The farm population ha increased during the last 10 years in about the same proportion as that of the cities, al though the number of mechanical In dustries employing labor has nearly doubled. In 1S90, 250,000 manufacturing establishments were reported; this year the number is -07,221.

Some discussion has recently taken place through your columns In regard to the wisdom of the present game law. My attention was attracted by the article which appeared In today's issue of The Oregonian, entitled "Wild Ducks Come High." and so far as the same applies to ducks, I' have tio criticisms to make. I do, however, take Issue with that por tions refers to upland birds. The article states In effect that It makes no difference to the bird whether it is killed by a "sportsman" or a "far mer boy" or whether It is sold or given away, and that the "farmer boy" should be allowed to kill for the market when the "city feller" kills two or three times the limit In a day, and further, that it should be lawful to fell upland birds to any who choose to pur chase. Perhaps it makes no difference to the bird by whom it is killed. It does, how ever, concern the people wh?n those which are killed are not consumed, but permitted toVleeay in the markets of the city of Portland as was the case under the law permitting the sale thereof. I Tiave hunted upland birds for sev eral seasons in most all parts of the WUJamette Valley. My experience and observations have been that It is not a common thing for a man to Tdll the limit consisting of 15 birds In a single day whether "city feller' 'or "farmer boy," reports to the contrary notwithstanding. The fact is, when the law permitted per sons to shoot upland birds for the mar ket those who were engaged in it us ually sent the accumulation of three or four days previous, so that the birds were practically unfit for use when they ar rived at the market The "farmer boy" did not shoot birds for the market for the greater part of his, time was more profitably employed. It was the "pot hunter" n-ho a as re sponsible for the conditions whlcn made It neccessary to prohibit killing upland birds for the market. If it Is such a smiple matter to kill upland birds as hinted in the article re- I ferred to, it should be unnecessary to i DUJ tnem. l oeneve ine present law encourages true sportsmanship. Those who are willing to admit that they have no friends who shoot and are either too lazy or incompetent themselves, have no right to the delicacy. In my opinion, the only change that should be made In the present game law so far, as It pertains to upland birds Is to shorten the closed season at least 15 days. WILLIAM W. BANKS.

In reply to an inquiry concerning ' the meanlng of "Chcmawa" and why It ' was so namea. me iouowing is ine correct j explanation: When the school was first moved to its oresent site from Forest Grove, under the superintendencv of Dr. Collin, the clerk, Dr. Rogers, called at my office, in Salem, and wanted a name for the school postofllce.

He named It Che- ' mawa (which he pronounced Che-may. vay after a family of Indians, whose home was on the place when the Metho dist Mission ilrst wont to Salem.

People Are Democrats by Tradltioa and Take Little Account of Pres ent Prosperous Conditions. WASHINGTON, Oct; 11. There is not the least possibility of any break occur ring In the solid South, and there has not been for many years. With" the ex ception of Kentucky and West Virginia, border states, no Southern State has given an electoral vote for a Republican candi date since 1876, and the three sta'tes which were at that time counted for the Republican candidate were then claimed and are still claimed to have voted for the Democracy. It Is true that the Re publicans and Populists of North Caro lina were successful on a fusion issue, and secured a Republican Senator. Kentucky has also elected a Republican Senator. West Virginia has swung into the Repub lican line,, but it is not considered a part of the solid South. " ' It is considered rather curious that this state, of affairs should exist In view of the fact that the South is so prosperous under the Republican policies, and Is so It&rwte' DICK CROKER "I DIDN'T THROW THAT ICES' Chicago Record. much Interested In other things that the Reoublican party stands for at the pres ent time. Yet no one predicts with any degree of confidence a single break In the South this year, -save that West Vir ginia may go Republican, and that there is a possibility that Kentucky may again cast its vote for the Republican candi date. A story told by a Republican the other day. Illustrates the condition In the South as well as anything that has been heard from that section. He was visit ing a prominent man in Virginia, a man who devotes himself to stockralslng, and has a very large ranch in the Old Do minion. Just now the raising of stock has proven very profitable. This par ticular man has a contract for selling 1000 head of cattle, to b6 delivered at the rail road, and sent by way of Chesapeake Eay, to England. Most of these cattle are to be shipped on to South Africa for the British Army. This man said his cattle would average from 1400 to 1000 each in Weight, and that he would receive 5i cents per pound for the cattle on the hoof. It will be seen that this is a very high price, and brings the value of each head up to approximately ?S0 each. The profits at such a price are simply enormous. This ranchman was aked if this price was what he usually obtained, and he said It was at present, although five or six years ago he sold a large-number of cattle at $1 50 per hundred. Of course, the man with whom he was talking supposed that under those con ditions the .stockralser would naturally be a Republican, and anxious for the success of the Republican policies which had so increased his wealth in the last four years. But not so. It appears that' he 4s at the head of the Democratic or ganization of his particular section, and In talking to stockralsers like himself a short time ago, he said it was true that better prices prevailed now for cat tle than ever before, and that they were enjoying an era of prosperity that they had never had in the past Yet, he said, it was "necessary to vote the Democratic ticket to preserve the traditions of the county and state, and to keep it true to the iarty to which the state had been loyal for many years In the past." When this sort of a condition Is con sidered, It is absurd to think of carrying any of the Southern States. By tradition the people are Democrats. Democracy stands for respectability in the South. Men who leave the Democratic party are ostracised and are regarded as men who place "material prosperity" above their "honor." There is no use to hope for a break In the solid South as long as these conditions prevail. WHAT CREDIT IS DOE ROGERS? Hovr He Saved the State Money Tle Capitol Building Bill. EUGENE, Or., Oct. 8. (To the Editor.) In The Oregonlan last Friday your staff correspondent at Seattle points out that Governor John 'R. Rogers Is generally credited with the reduction of the state debt, adding that the Republican reply to the claims of Governor Rogers Is that "the general prosperity made these things possible." During Cleveland's Admlnstratlon tax paying was not the rule in the state of Washington, and It became customary for the Legislature to rebate the pen alties and grant further time, thus en couraging the people to delays and thereby leaving several large annual de linquent rolls an asset, as It wap called by the Supreme Court of the state when adjudicating the validity of county in debtedness. In 1897 the Legislature passed a law, not only eliminating all penalties and costs against tho delinquent taxpayer, but reducing the rate of interest on the taxes, during the whole delinquency, to 6 per cent, per annum, providing the taxes were paid within a certain time. Contrary to my expectations good times came with McKlnley's election, and the taxes were paid upon all the lands which weie deemed worth the amount due. A large tide land, fund hitherto kept separate was turned Into and made a part of the general fund. During the period of depression (Cleveland's term), there were few sales of state lands In Washington. Since that time "the Land Commissioners' office at Olympla has been a busy place, and thereby large sums have been realized to reduce the state debt. Even a comparison, of assets will not show the whole truth, because In many, If not most cases, where taxes were not paid In 1897 the land is not worth -the delinquent tax, and the laws of Wash ington, recognizing the futility of trying to collect the whole amount, provide fOf.. releasing the land upon payment of such sum as a court may determine. Through the energy of Land Commis sioner Bridges, who despises Governor Rogers, there will be little land of value for the next state administration to realize upon Governor Rogers claimed to be In favor of a capltol building, but he wanted to be the architect himself. He said, after he "was elected, that he would not Hlgna bill to erecjt a building upon the foundation laid under Governor McGraw, or according to the plans which had been accepted by Governor McGraw, under authority of the State Legislature, giving reasons galore, but omitting the true one Jealousy of Governor McGraw. The arrogance of Governor Rogers is best illustrated by the propositions made to Thurston County a few dayB before the meeting of the last Legislature. "You people want a capltol building. You have a courthouse, which, with a small addition on one side of it, will do for a capltol building. Now, I will sup port it, and a bill can be passed during this session to purchase your court house and put up a wing to it And I, Emperor Rogers, further say that if you don't accept this proposition you won't get anything." The foregoing, though Included within quotation marks, are not the exact words of his Excellency. The emphasis, the autocratic tone, and some of the force-' ful words he would use are here omitted. At a meeting, called to consider it, the proposition was rejected. True to his threat, the Governor vetoed a bill, limit ing the cost of the building to the pro ceeds to be derived from sale of the lands, given by the United States Gov ernment for that purpose. If the bill had been signed the State of Washington would have been free from any liability for Its construction. The building would, If erected, be upon the hated McGraw H-? foundation, and Bridges was named by the Legislature as one of the capltol Commissioners. The figures, given by your correspondent include as a part of the state debt all the money ad vanced for public buildings and which Is repaid to the state as the lands do nated by the general government are sold. ' Governor Rogers credits the good times in the United States to the gold ob tained from Klondike and Alaskan mines. Why not credit some of the pros perity of the state nearest those mines to the same source, Instead of claiming it all himself? In wnat respect does Governor Rogers model after Jefferson or Lincoln? Does he affect their simplicity In manner and dress? And, pray, when did either hold up bills of individual members of a'' Legislature or Congress until spiteful vetoes were sustained? Think of Jefferson, as Governor of Virginia, dictating to the people of Rich mond "Your courthouse for a state capl tol building or I will veto"; Lincoln to Congress, "I will be the architect of all public buildings during -my term." The sage of Puyallup even quotes ' Franklin. There can be no contrast where there Is no resemblance. DANIEL GABY. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Real Estate Transfers. A F.

Not lone aso a resident of Turner built him a sidewalk, and In doing so raised it about eleht Inches above the adjoining walks. A delegation ot, tho wheelmen called upon him and requested him to lower his walk on a lovel with tho adjoining one., The request was refused, and durlns the succecdlns night the walk In some manner mysteriously disap peared., and now the case Is up to the author ities. The-above clipping contains some error. The "raise" in the walk" was only about three Inches. There was no "delegation of wheelmen," and no "request." It was a few Irresponsible young fellows, -who had no whit of property Interest In the walk, or the town; no rights in the prem ises whatever, except the use of a public highway. They did not" request.)' They demand ed; using some hardly printable lan guage, and threatening to tear the walk down. Naturally the "resident" over 70 years old refused; and he "stood off" the young chaps, and they finally went away. That evening, when the old man and wife had extinguished their lamp to re tire for the night the mob of "wheel men" came; and' went to work tearing up the. walk. But the old oeople went out with lights, and finding the crowd too strong for them, they identified eight or ten of the mob, and then retired into their house. ' The riotors tore up the walk, fixed it to the notion, and left. And you say; "now the case Is up to the authorities;" But are "the authori ties" up to the case? Is this in America or China? S. t PLEADED NOT GUILTY. Arraignment of La-tvyer Fatrlclc and Volet Jones. NEW YORK, OctT"l5. Alfred T. Pat rick and Charles F. Jones, the former one of the counsel and the latter vaJet for the late William M. Rice, the millionaire, appeared "before Police Magistrate Crane today, charged with complicity in forging the name of Rice to a check for $25,(00 drawn in favor or Patrick on the banking house of S. M. Swanson & Sons. Patrick gave his age as 34 years, said he was born in Texas and that he was a lawyer by profession. Patrick and Jones both plead ed not guilty. Patrick's bearing was calm and confident John H. Wallace, a clerk in Swenscra & Co.'s bank, testified regarding tha presen tation of the check in, question for certifl catlon.' It was brought into the bank 'September 24 by David L. Short, and was Indorsed "Albert T. Patrick." Short was told there was an irregularity on the face of the check and In the Indorsement, and he wont away, returning soon afterward with a new check Indorsed "Albert T. Patrick." The witness kept the first check presented,, but later returned it to Mr. Short. Wallace said he telephoned to Rice's house in the meantime, and Jones answered that It was his (Jones') mistake; the drafts were all right and should bj paid. Wallace telephoned to Jones that Mr. Swenson, must' talk with Rice about the draft. Jones protested that Rice could not come, as he could not hear well. Ten minutes later, C. H. FIndley, another bank employe, reported to Mr. Swenson that he had just been told over the tels phone that Rice was dead; that death occurred tho evening before at 8 o'clock. Mr. Swenson himself went to the tele phone and he witness returned the check to Short without paying out the money it called for. Later In the day Patrick called at the window of the bank and asked, for Mr. Swenson. On cross-examination the witness ad mitted that the only fault he found with the check after he had talked with Weth erbee was in regard tothe name "Albert T. Patrick." That was the only reason he gave, but not the only reason for ob jecting to the check. Wallace explained that he Intended to await information over the telephone before certifying to the genuineness of the check. Both the witness and Mr. Wetherbee were suspi cious about the check. When E. P. Swen son, handed the check back to Short at the bank, he told Short they would not pay It, for they heard that Mr. Rice was dead. In response to Mr. Osborne, Wal lace said that In his opinion the Flgnature on the check presented at the bank wa3 not that of William H. Rice. The hearing was adjourned until tomor row.

A prominent official surgeon says: It Is ,tho duty of every surgeon to avoid an operation, if possible to cure In any other way. This Is especially true In the treat ment of piles and rectal troubles because such operations are attended with excru ciating pain and serious danger to life by collapse of the nervous system. Furthermore, operations for piles are of ten unsuccessful and always very ex pensive. The most advanced physicians now rise and recommend tho use of astringents, combined with healing oils of vegetable extraction, and administered in supposi tory form. The most widely used and best known remedy of this character Is the Pyramid Pile Cure, sold by druggists everywhere. The pile cure contains no cocaine, no opiate, no poisonous drug whatever, and a single 50-cent package In some Instances has cured cases of several years' standing. The harmless acids, astringents and oils contained in the Pyramid Pile Cure cause the blood vessels and congested veins to contract to a natural condition, the little tumors are absorbed and the cure Is made without pain, Inconvenience or detention from dally occupation. Being In suppository form It can be car ried in the pocket, always ready for use. Ointments, salves and pills sometimes relieve piles, but they do not cure. The safest and surest way to cure any form of piles, itching,, bleeding or pro truding, is to use Pyramid Pile Cure. Full sized packages at all drug stores. 50 cents.
