Ksdt Nelsok, Minnesota's Scandi
narisn congressman, is spoken of as
the successor of senator Sabin a year
hence.
There is an unprecedented railroad
boom in Manitoba since the monop
oly surrender of the Canadian Pacific.
These roads -will be built across the
boundary this year.
Gen-erai, von' Moltke wai asked
not long ago what he thought of Bou
langer. "Ho knows something," re
plied the great strategist, who, silent
in seven languages, never wastes a
word.
A PBOMiXEJiT official in New Orleans
shot himself through the heart be
cause he failed of a renomination. He
allowed his partisan feeling to carry
Mm altogether too far. Ho ought to

Mb. J. "W. "Webb writes to the Ore
gon Ian that it is only by an accident
that Mr. St John is hero instead of
at the Sandwich islands. To call the
Juno election in this state an "acci
dent" is a very disrespectful way to
speak of so important an event
.
The administration's surrender of
the sugar schedule in its tariff bill to
gain the votes of the six Louisiana
congressmen is a striking confession
of weakness. It is also a cruel rebuff to
those free trade mugwumps who have
been declaring that the sugar duties
must go altogether. But no one
doubts that the mugwumps will ac
cent their disappointment with be
coming humility.

Ketubned travelers in Germany
speak of the jealousy with which the
German authorities guard the new
magazine guns distributed among the
soldiers of the army, iivery gun is
numbered and registered, the soldier
must not tako it from the garrison un
der any circumetances save when on
parade, and he must bo able to pro
duce it at a moment's notice. All
this is to prevent the French from se
curing one to use as a pattern.
A special dispatch f romJWashington
to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
conveys this informatien: "There is no
doubt in the minds of those who have
carefully examined all the items in
the river and harbor appropriation
bill that ono of the principal objects
held in view and indicated by its
mako-up wa3 to bid for tho votes
needed to pass tho Mills tariff bill.
The delegations and members who
have promised to vote for the tariff
billhavo had their district interests
well taken care of, and if any of them
fail to come to time their items will
be knocked out"
The United States has a population
of at least 02,000,000 at this moment.
This makes it second in this particu
lar among tho great civilized nations
of tho world. Keeping in view the ra
tio of growth of tho countries named
between recent census periods, there
are to-day about 88,000,000 inhabitants
in European Eussia, 47,000,000 in
Germany, 40,000,000 in Austro-Hun-
gary, 38,000,000 in France. 37,000,000
in Great Britain and Ireland, 30,000,
000 in Italy and 17,000,000 in Spain.
The population of none of the other
countries of Europe reaches 10,000,000.
Turkey's inhabitants outside of Asia
aggregating scarcely half that figure.
Kussia alone of the great powers of
Christendom exceeds tho United S tates
population. Even Russia must soon
be left far in the rear. On July 1st,
1S90, when tho next national enumer
ation takes place, the United States
will have 67,000,000 inhabitants. It
will have 90,000,000 in the year 1900,
and 124,000,000 in 1910.. This compu
tation is based on the averago growth
of the country during tho century.
Employing a like basis for Eussia,
that nation beforo 1910 will have
dropped to second place, the United
States taking the first. Forty years
ago tne umtea states stood sixth in
the point of population among the
civilized nations ot tho globe, and
twenty years ago it stood fifth.
Twenty years hence it will stand first.
And will not political, social and in-
...
dustnai supremacy come witn pre
eminence in population? Perhaps,
but hardly so soon. The United States
leads the nations in extent, value and
variety of natural resources. It is al
ready first in the value of the products
of its farms and factories. Undoubt
edly it will eventually achieve prima
cy in the other great avenues of hu-J
man endeavor. Within the lifetime
of thousands of Americans now living,,
it seems altogether safe to predict,
the United States will be as complete
ly and unquestionably the great social
center of the world as it is already the
center and creator of much of that
which moBt powerfully contributes to
the world's moral and material advancement
AN'riHFORTAJfT LAW.
And One Tliat Interests a Great Many
Here.
The United States treasury depart
ment has some very stringent regu
lations, some of which seem neces
sary, while others do not Be that as
it may there is ono regulation that is
of special interest to any one in As
toria or vicinity who has business on
tho river in a sailboat, fishing boat,
row boat, or almost any kind of a
boat at night.
It may bo news to a majority of our
readers to publish the fact that a
rowboatcm the river at night must
carry a light, under penalty of paying
a S203 fine. Anyone can make com
plaint regarding violation of tho law,
and if proved tho United States court
authorities would apparently have no
option in the matter.
Following 13 the text of the regu regu
lateons: "All coal boats, trading boats
fishing boats, and other water craft,
navigating any bay, harbor, or river,
propelled by hand power, horse power.
sail, or by the current of tho river, or
which shall be moored in or near the
channel or fairway of any b3y, harbor,
or river, shall carry one bright white
light forward, not less tl an six feet
above tho rail or deck.
Row boats shall carry one whito light
obove the stern."
Section 4.237 of the revised statutes
of the United States provides a pen-
alty of 8200 for failuro to comply with
the above regulations.
A special ruling of the treasury de
partment upon the subject of row
boats carrying lights, made since the
above regulation was issued, says:
'lho rule coverninc Iiclus on row-
boats is peremptory in its terms that
the lights shall be placed two feet
above the stern of tho boat.''
It is believed that a test case has
never been made here regarding this
matter. Just how tho court would
hold, whether the owner of the boat,
or the occupant, would be held liable,
is an undetermined question.
