Census Figures.
Ad Eastern Kx. give the folluwinte :
The United .Staltta census, reported
thin morning, fellows the smallest
rate Tof gain 'he country -as over
known. Omitting Indian Territory,
Alaska and Hawaii, which have not been
heretofore counted in the total, it is only
23.83 per cent, Between 1880 and 1890,
t amounted to 2 1,85 p.r cent ; 30.08 per
cent between 1870 and 18S0 an. 22.03 per
cent oven during the decade of the Civil
war-that b9tween 1800 and 1S70.
Considered hy divisions, the showing
is aB follows: North Atlantic Slates
Population, 21,0111,805; gain, 3,043,300;
per cent of gain, 20 91; percent of gain
between 1880 and 18'JO, 19.95; between
1870 and 1880, 18.75; between 1800 and
1870, 16.08. Thus it is seen that not
ouly the actual gain, but the percentaite
of gain as well of the North Atlantic
sle.tes, as reported is greater than ever
since 18U0.
Bouth Atlantic statea Population,
10,443,548; gain, 1,885,738; percentage of

24.02 , 28 .49 between 1880 and 1870, and
"18.50 between 1800 and 1870.
KouthCentral Population, 13,090,230;

between 1800 and 1870.;
In population the first thirteen of th
states come in the following order: New
York, Pennsylvania. Illinois, Ohio, Miss
ouri, Texas, Massachusetts, Indiana,
Michigan.llowa, Georgia, Kentucky and
Wisconsin. Tennessee was thirteenth
ten years ago hut Wi-constn, which was
then.fourteanth has taken itB place. Ab
to the other states, the list is the same
now as in 1890, except that the older in
which they come haB beon somewhat
changed: Texas has gone from .seventh
to sixth place, changing MassachusoetB
from sixth to ssven'b. 'Georgia has gon,
from twelfth to eleventh, chnnging Ken
ucky from eleventh to twelfth. Florida
is still thirty-second, hut has gained
somewhat on Colorado, which is and was
thiity first in population.
The largeet percentage uf gain was
made by Oklahoma, which rhowed an
increase of more than 500 per cent,
Texas gained Blightly more than 30 per
cut, and led tte Southern Statee; Flori
da stood Becond among Southern Staler,
with ft gain of nearly 35 per cdiit.
Here are Borne new definitions :
"Liberty" A good tiling; keep our

"Business" To make money oy act of

"Presidency" An oflice formerly
equivalent to Chief Magistrate, but now

"Boers" -A. very wicked lot of Du'ch
men who broke into Bouth Africa several
generations ago and wore actually too
mrnn and low-lived to give up their
homes three different times without
grumbling, and even killed a big crowd
of English. McKinley and Hay frowned
nt them and that kopt other uationaquiot
until Englond"benevolently assimilated''
them. The Filipinos Bre just as mean to
Nevada is the only State in the Union
which showed a decrease in population,
and was the only one which decreased
betwoen 1880 aud 1890. Though it has
boen a State for 30 yearB 't lies a smaller
jiopnlatloB than any of the States or loi
ritories. Oklahoma has a population which en
titles her to admission to statehood, with
two representatives in Congress. Tho
population of Now Mexico entitlos that
Territory to admission as a state. Arl
tona, though without Bulllcicnt popula
tion to entitle hor to admission, is more
populous than either Nevada or Wyo
ming, which have both boen admitted.

There are some things lo ludicate tha

that other railroads are looking this way,

add must use il it expects to retain It.
A conneetion by rail at this poli.t with

Mark Hanna baa already declineu the

The most potent argument against
imperialism is the nomenclature which
has been developed since Ibie Issue came
before the American people. When one
reade expressions Buch as "our new pos
sessions, "our colonies," "to rule our new
dependencies," be is reading the terms
which are inseparable from an Empire

ThiB is given as a matter of news. The

now to give anything but news, though
of course the campaign of education of
the masses will continue, and neccessar-

will have something to say.
N,it the least remarkable reaul. of the
coobus of 1900 is tbat it arreeta the west
ward march of what is known as "the
centre of population." ThiB point which
had been moving steadily westward at
eaoh Buccotsive census, was established
by the ceneuB 1890 as being in the south
ern part of Indiana, at a point a little
west of south of Greensburg, the county
seat of Decatur County and twenty miles
east of Columbus, Geographically it is
in laititude 30 doereeB 11 minuteB and 5G
seconds, and longitude 85 degrees 32
minutes and 53 seconda.
But in the past ten years the popala
lion of the States lying wholly east of
Ins meridian has increased to almost
exactly the Bame extent ae in the States
west of it, tho Increase in each case being
in round numbers 0,000,000 out of a l"tal
of 13,225,000. The remaining 1,225,000
increase is furnished by the Statei of

The failure of one more well-meant el
(ort bi solve the hired-girl problem is
noled Willi regret.
Mrs, Watterburg of ((Brooklyn, where
the hired-giil question is almost as acute
aa the problem of bow to establish regu
lar daily communication with the real
Now York, was the aulbor of a truly in
genious plan for securing "peace with
honor" between the mistress and maid.
Having liied servaul-girls of every na
tionality and tongue without success, it
occurred to her that as all of them had
been classified aa "intelligent help,"
what ebe probably needed was an .unin
telligent'' girl. She accordingly went to
i.B t tr.. inland Insane liosuital and
hired a woman guaranteed by the super
intendent to be utterly unintelligent.
Having Installed this able imbecile in
bar kitchen Mrs. Watferberg carried the
glad tldinga to her neighbore: "1 have
solved the eervant-girl problem, just
get crazy women." .
But this experiment turned out poorly.
The hired lunatio mlBtook the kitchen
for a padded cell and made a desperate
break for freedom. Incidentally, she
pummelfd her mistress, who was finally
obliged to resbip her to the Long Island
Uospttal.

Au Eisturu Correspondent says:
Republicans now claim that the object
of our Government is the increase of trade
and in order to accomplish their object
tbey aie willing to change their form of
government. Our forefathers claimed
that the object of our Government was
the improvement if men. Our Constitu
tion aflorde the best illustration of such
government in the world.
If the ''object" of government is so
changed the "form" of government must
oe changed to correspond that is, an
empire instead of a republic. Which do
tne voters waol?
The so-called "bueines inteiee(s"of to
day are controlled by non-producerB, and
combinations, trusts and unhealthy husi
ness Ib the result. All men are so anx
ious to exchange their labor and the pro
duct of their labor for the product of the
labor cf others that if producers control
led the quality and price of all produc
tione there would he no combinations or
trusts and business would be healthy.
McKinley is in favor of the combinations.
A World Power.
The United Statea is a nation number
ing 70,000,000 people
The United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland numbers about 38,000,000
just half ub many.
France numbera juat about half aB
many also.
The German Empire, not counting itB
African colonies, numbers about 47.000,-
000 p tuple less than two-thirdB of our
population.
AuBtria-Hungary has nearly 42,000,000
inhabitants ouly 4. 000, COO more then
ball our count.
KusBia proper, exo udlng t' e non-Rus-Bian
peopleB of Asia that are under her
Sag, has a population of about 86,000,000
10,000.000 more than that of the Unit
ed States,
t LBut our population is growing at the
rate of 13,000,000 every ten years. So
that the American babies of today wben
they arrive at adult age will Bee an
American nation numbering 102,000,000
people.
As all European populations are sta
tionary or nearly so the excess of their
births over deaths being lost by emigra
tion, moBlly to this country it is rea
sonable anticipation that the year 1920
will find the United Stales inhabited by
three times as many people as Great
Britain and Ireland, one and a half times
as many aa the combined populations of
the British Isles and France, more than
twice as many as Germany and about
15,000,000 more than Russia proper.
Furthermore, Hub country already
leads all others in total and per capita
wealth; it produces one third uf tbe
world's total annual product of gold and
silver ; it leads all nations as u product r
aud consumer of coal, iron and eteel, and
it also lends them all in the production
and export foodstuff.
Wl.ere'ore it would really seem that
the United Statee is and must neceBBar
i'y remain a very respectable "world
power", Tbeie will be no larger "world
power" in the twentieth century than
this great, free American nation, even if
it should just Btay at home and naturally
grow and leave Asia to the Asiatics
World.

The English generally have been re
joicing over the creat r-publican victory
about as much as the republicans them
selves. A man in Portland has to push a
peanut with a toothpick a mile as pay
ment oi an election bet. There is a big
field for the fool killer around bis neigh
borhood. In Salem the vote for McKinley was
reduced from 1611 to 1235 from the 1896
vote, while Brvan's was reduced from
1175 to 803. What is the matter of Sa
lem anyway. Struck hy apathy.
The cartoonist who' has Uncle Sam
firing hia revolver ond throwing his hat
like a cow bnv must bavo been running
with Roosevelt. It is to be hoped that
this Roosevelt spirit does not pervade
society very extensively.
The state of Oregon has grown consid
erably in tbe last four years, and yet
tbe vote received by McKinley was sev
eral thousand lees than four years ago,
while that received by Bryan waB im
menaely Ubs. This indicates that some
republicans and more democra'8 remain
ed at home.
Mr. Bryan went to bed on election
night at about 10:30 o'clock. A litt'e
thing like a national election did not
disturb him and he slept peacefully all
night. His career as a presidential can
didate has undoubtedly ended, but he is
a clean man pereonallv -nd he will be
heard from in some o.!er field.
All the many entei prises that have
been waiting on the election will now
please puil their throttle. There is no
one who will not be glad to feel tbe
pulse of genuine prosperity. It is a
mighty good tiling in one's business re
gardleeB of who iB president.
The republicans explain low wheat
and a fair price for wool to suit tbeir
circumstances. That is, if there is a
good price it is due to the administra
tion, if there Isn't it is not. As a mat
ter of fact there are natural causes for
these thing", the great law of supply
and demand playing an important part
in the matter.
All over Oregon democratic voter3j re
mained at home and did not vote. About
seven hundred less voted in this county
than four years ago, though the county
has undoubtedly increased in popula
tion. The Review says it is the same in
Douglas county . Apathy was certainly
around, whatever the cause.
The San Joae Mercury says a Santa
Clara farmer got a wife through a marri
age bureau. He also got a law suit, a
divorce, a set of foreclosed mortgages
and a baby he knows nothing about and
has prospects of more things to come.
Matrimony on the bureau plan has pos
sibilities of acquisition beyond the ex
pectation of the ordinary venturer.
A Medford lady writing to an Albany
friend says that Gov, Seer, recently in
that city, made out the democrats every
thing bal in the dictionary, but gave
McKinley credit for even the eunBbine
that makes tbe crops and stock grow.
And yet the democrats pay just about
half the taxes that support tbe gover
nor and the test ol the etate govern
ment. A Cbicagoian just returned from a
tour of the far West saw the following lo
cation notice on a mining claim In tbe
Grand Encampment, Wyoming: "We
found it, and we claim it by the light of
founding it. Itsour'n. It's 750 feet in
every direction, except eonthweet and
northeast, and there is 300 feet on each
side ol this writin'. Its called tbe Bay
Horse, and we claim the epurs, and we
don't irant nobody jumping on this Bay
Harse that's what these trees is around
here for, and we've got the same piece

following advertisementrecently :

The Election.
Portland, Nov. 8. The latest election
returns do rot materially change the re
sult. The nates still in doubt are Ken
tucky and XehiaBka and the indications
are that Bryan carried til former, and
MoKiuley the latter. Tbe plurality for
the republican national ticket in New
York is 145 000 while Udell -ill have
about 100,000. California gives McKin
ley 40,000 pluralitv, aud the republicans
elect all seven Congressmen. Pennsyl
vania rolls 11 l the usual big republican
major'ty. Iri M nne oU, tne governor
ships is the only thing not settled. Re
publicans Hindu a e'eau sweep in Wyom
ing ui'd W'tt Virginia. McKinley's
plurality in Indiana will run from 28, 000
to 32,0.ji). Iu Utah ho will have 4500
while In Moinana Brvau is 17 .000 ahe.'d.

In
Portland. Nov. 8. Yesterday's addi

material change, however, fnr they are
based on unofficial reports from only 560
of the 709 precincts in "he state, the re
sults in tho other precincts heiig esti
