City a CowMty Qgclal Paper.
WKAT THE NEW CENSUS FINDS.
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.

AiiBeady. the San Francisco papers
are announcing that the census of
that city will be "short" about 25,000.
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.
