Tt is known to our citizens that an annual
of children between the ages
Of FIVE and twenty-one years is taken in this
city through the Board of Township Trustees.
Two years ago an enumeration was taken,
and the children in this city between those
ages numbered twelve hundred. Last year
they numbered 1860, and by : enumeration
just closing, they numbered 1900. This
shows an increase of one third to this portion
Of our population in tiOo gears. or course
it follows 0te population of EvaaasUlle has
Increased one third The last tiro gears. This
is some evidence of the growth of our city
When we say the city itself has increased in
pretty much the same proportion to the popu-
lation, very fair idea is conveyed that weare
fiourishfhg community. As the major part
ofthese two years has been remarkable with
US as with every other community. for de-
preston of all business interests, il may we'll
Ibe conceived that the next two years, open
ling as the present now is, with the brightest
prospects of plenty and an easy money mar
ket, we may confidently anticipate that Ev-
ansvlle will.grow er'than ever before
Even this season we have put up an immense
number of houses, and generally of more
substantial kind than those of last year. This
has been done right in The dullest business
season ever Evansville has experienced OF
late years. We have conclusively shown in
our enterprise OF this summer, that the pros
perity ofEvansville is not founded upon the
changes or vicissitudes of seasons. Our
growth is steady and onward under all cir
cumstances.

or We are happy to learn by city pa
per that Indiana boasts Of the greatest orator
olthe age. This is gratifying. In fact, we
are glad to hear it, and still gladder to know
that the greatest orator of the age is to make
ain old Line speech in Evansville tomorrow
Wecannot express onr qualification either to
know the greatest orator Of the age has sc
good theme as Old Line Democracy. This
gives US hopes that something original may
be said on that refreshing subject.

DECLINED AN INTRoDUcTIoN.-The Bath

friend of the editor:
He was en- route for New York City-got
out at the station, leaving his "better half

good-looking gentleman occupying bis seat
and making himself sociable with his travel

SIR replied our friend, "If you will keep it,
allow me to introduce you to my utfe."
The stranger looked blank, and made very
hasty tracks for the next car.

'1eF AS many of our citizens are little
astonished that Willard has started cut IN
such a hurry to make speeches for the en-
iightenment of the heather in fthe pocket

bition Of party devotion and individual sacri-
fee, we can quiet both their astonishment and
wonder by merely stating that he is now la
boring for himself, not party. He is after
the next Democratic nomination for Govern

about the State making speeches in mere de-

five numbers yet, and he shall have every

FIVE weeks longer, we will have him just as
good friend of honest American principles
as we are. He is now, only he has been
grossly humbugged about what the Ameri-

expect to get an even dozen of good amer

up for our sad loss of John. If we don't,
we shall begin to think he is right. Won't
some friend of Ours search round Olney.
and try to find a few American friends for
us there! If they don't come to the scratch
we and the cause are done busted by Johns

ELOQUENT silence.

The Democratic Convention had not one
word to say in favor of its precious Pierce ad-
ministraton! Here was State Convention
headed by leading Democrats, one Of
whom is really Vice President, along with
Pierce, and this Convention, numbering 25,-
600 persons, according to the boasts of the
Democratic papers, and yet not a man among
those leaders, not man among those gath
cred thousands, who had word or thought
for the admin istfation they had helped place
in power, Was there ever before an admin
istration so poor, so miserable, so utterly i'm
beetle, SO generally condemned, that Con-
vention of its own party dared not pay it the
slight comp liment of resolution notice!-
Thus in eloquent silence so acknowledging
the truth of the charges of the administra-
toms opponents, that it is beyond defence
they have the impudent hardihood to ask of
the people the privilege Of placing another
model Democratic administration in power.
The people have had enough of Old Line De-
mocracy for the present. Its rottenness and
corruption is stencil In the nostriIs of all
good citizens and patriots.

GGov. Wright evidently got down the
Bright forces in the Convention. He was
"big dog there, made one of his most
gracious demagogue speeches, and the Con-
vention keep quiet on the liquor question.
If Bright had succeeded, there would have
been a definition on this question, and
Wright in a manner crushed by his party,
because he approved the Liquor Law with
his official signature.
