Ix finds forty-two states in llie Union instead of thirty-eight It finds the national debt reduced from orer $2,120,000,000 to less than $1, 700,000,000, and ths national revenue larger than ever before. In the largest cities, "where four and five stcry buildings rere considered enterprising for hotels and office struc tures in 1SS0, 1S90 finds giant houses thirteen and fourteen stories in height, sky scraping affairs, with elevators running to the top. It finds the new liouses fitted with steam and hot water beat instead of fires a house ata sum mer temperature the winter through, Kith never a hint of smoke, dust or ashes about it Great natural gas fields, unknown in 18S0, have given a new impetus to industry. Telephones enable us to speak to our friends 200 miles away or our neighbor in the next room. The modern apartment house has revolutionized the way of living of poor people in cities. With the bath room, the electric bells, the dumb waiters, the neatly finished light rooms, the man who can only pay a small rent has more conveniences than the xnillioBaire had a generation ago. The new census finds electric lights where the last census found gas and kerosene. It finds electric and grip cable roads where 18S0 had clumsy, old fashioned omnibuses and horse cars. It looks along over 150,000 miles of glittering railway tracks, girdling and criss-crossing the country, where 1330 saw only 93,319. In the last ten years steam has shortened the distance across the ocean by nearly a day. Tho new census beholds the first fruits of that gigantic co-operative idea which is tho distinctive feature of the last quarter of tho nineteenth century, and born of this idea the development of buch colossal industries as history never recorded before. It sees such mining and manufacturing enterprises in the south as nobody dreamed possible till now. In brief, it will see a new south out and out. Another fact it will meet will be 150,000,000 cold cash from Great Britain invested in in dustries in the United States, where the movement had hardly begun ten years ago. The census of 1890 find us a happy, healthy, prosperous people, richer than we ever were before, at peace with all mankind. May it steadily Crow until the next census, and may 1900 and all our readers witness further proportionate progress. . The, from the Port Townsend Jkader, is suggestive: Those people who are disposed to take a discouraging view of the present quiet state of the realty market should be careful not to make any mistakes and undervalue their property posses sions. "We are passing through one of those periods encountered in tho growth of every substantial town, which may be termed tho adjusting period a time when prices, values and actual growth must come to their true relative basis before another ad vance. It is good for us, although re quiring grit to hold on. It also teaches the danger of excessive speculation when times are lively. Cessus Sutemxtexdext Porteb say be a clever man, but he doesn't believe in the American doctrine of reciprocity. He has worked the news papers for all there was in it, and there was a good deal in it He has sent them 196,732 questions to answer, and has got them to do a heap of hard work for nothing and now with mon Hsaental cheek, having got all he could oat of them, tells his subordinates that they must answer no question that a newspaper mau should ask him. "Headquaktebs in tho Saddle," is the way they speak on the Sound of H. V. Gates, who has gone there from Cheyenne, to assume charge of the Union Pacific extension. 'Tis probably meant to be complimentar', bat slightly vague to speak of a man's having his headquarters where his biadquarters ought to be. Rulsoad lobbyists are charged with having raised 10,000 with which to buy 10 state senators in Massachu setts. Competition, free raw mater lak, or something of that sort seem to hare brought Yankee statesmen down to a ridiculously low figure. TsEoat accomplished New York parrot is dead at the age of 20 years. She spoke English, Spanish and French, and could sing and swear in Mhof those languages. Her owner is dieccoBolate and his neighbors are boldmg jollification meetings. Six qmarte of water were drawn from the aide of a Leavenworth man Ike other day.

Very likely. The census returns will show an astonishing shortage in the population of various cities. m m Steamboat men say that the amount of business between here and Portland is exactly what it was three years ago. Maybe so; but it looks to an outside observer as if the passenger traffic had greatly increased. San Fbanctsco, in two months, has raised 121,000 subsidy for a compet ing railroad. Astoria, in twenty-four hours, raised 200,000. . . "Without doubt there is something immortal in man. Is it imagination, alone? Imagination is immortal. m Talk is cheap, We lead, others fol low.
