The census returns show that the southern
states, under the next apportionment, will gain
Congressman instead Of losing, as was generally
supposed. Estimates based upon the earlier
returns sent In by census supervisors give TO
Virginia population of 1000, 900, a gain OF
100000 since 1870; North Carolina figures out
total OF 1885, 900 against 1071 361 ten years ago.
South Carolina has not increased any, nor has
she lost, while Florida has gained at least 60
per cent. Georgia shows a steady gain during
the past ten years especially In her cities. Mis-
souri, has gained since 1870, 2l5525 in 43 counties
and counts upon total population OF 2. 375, 900,
an increase for the state Of 653 9So over the last
census In Tennessee the increase ranges from
3 per cent In some localities to 1O2 per cent in
others Kentucky estimates her population
from returns for AZ counties, at a total OF
], ,33l against 1871 oil In 1S10-a gain OF over
100000. West Virginia reports an average in
crease OF so per cent. Arkansas has a total OF
1000, growth OF over 80 per cent. Louisiana
Is shown by returns from II parishes scattered
over the state TO have increased 81 per cent,
and Texas has made an average gain OF over 80
per cent, giving her total population of over
IT, 900. 1t has been intimated that fraudu-
lent returns have been N lde from the southern
states giving bogus increase In order to lay
the basis for large southern representation In
Congress and in the electoral college, but no
proof whatever has been brought forward to
sustain the charge.

The October States.

The first state TO which public attention Will
be turned with great interest, as having an
Important influence upon the presidential cleo
ton, Is Maine. The fusion of democrats and
greenbackers has invested the result OF the
state election 10 September with doubt enough
10 render IL matter OF especial Interest. The
presumption Is that If the fusionlsts win In
september they can repeat the performance In
November, and thus deprive the republican presi-
oentlal ticket OF seven electoral votes that have
hitherto been classed among the certainties for
that party. The fusionists, however. might
carry the state election and then fail In Novem-
Der, but the shrewdest of the republican
leaders do not count upon that as probability.
Therefore, the great battle is to be fought In
september, and whichever party wins
then will be virtually conceded the
electoral vote OF the state. The
loss OF Maine would not by any means in
volve the defeat OF Garfield The effect would,
no doubt. be TO inspire the republicans with re-
neWed energy, In view OF the fact that the road
to victory would still be open to them. The
real battle ground Is Indiana. It Is essential
for the democrats to carry that state In Octo-
Der In order to win the presidential election
but the loss OF 1t to the republicans will not, In
the least, impair their chances, provided they
carry Ohio, Of which there can hardly be a rea-
SUDdUlt UUuUt. III JulS IacJ lies J1e advantage
to the republicans In the october elections. IL
the democrats carry Indiana In october they
simply hold their own, while IL the republicans
carry IL they make an inroad upon their
opponents. which It would be next to impoSs.-
Bile to repair In the November election. The
democratic leaders almost universally agree that
as Indiana goes In october so viii she go In No
yember. The democratic managers have one
advantage In that they can afford to concen-
trate their entire efforts and means upon Indi-
ana. The other october states can be left to
take care OF themselves But the republicans,
though confident Of Ohio, cannot afford to trust
to its being held by the unaided efforts OF the
state managers. The vote Of the state has fiuc-
tuated too frequently to warrant any such
confidence. Again, the democrats In Indiana
have an advantage In the control OF the election
machinery In over three-flfths OF the counties
The contest In the state, from present indI-
cations Is close and the result doubtful Uoon
the october election hangs the fate of the demo-
cratic presidential ticket, and as both parties
realize this the canvass will be the most exciting
one ever held In the Hoosier state. 1t can
almost be said that as goes Indiana so goes the
Union, this time for, as stated. While the repub-
ltcans may lose the state and still WIN II the
democrats carry 1t the chances are In favor of
Hancocks election.

1t Is quite plain now that the regular demo-
Gratis OF Virginia do not intend to consent to
any sort OF compromise with the readjusters
The Richmond STATE says: ''If any such dicker
with the readJusters) should be attempted.
Hancock would lose a thousand votes where he
would gain hundred" An element OF the
regular wing OF the party has protested so Wig
orously against any sort Of fusion with the re-
ad1usters, that 1t Is believed they would refuse
TO support the ticket should an arrangement OF
tnat KIND De effected. The regulars appear to
be determined to fight 1t out on their own line
and nothing Is left for Malone but TO withdraw
his ticket or go into the fight with all his ener.
81. There Is belief among the democrats
that Malone VIII withdraw, unless he can feel
confident Of victory, but his past history shows
that he is not given to backing out.

his place at the head OF the government and as
leader and director OF the liberal party? That
Is question OF great moment to the party. and
In attempting to find a successor for Gladstone
the liberals viii learn his true value. If they
have not appreciated il heretofore. There Is a
trying time for the rev government In the I'M

relating to the administration OF internal affairs
to be determined, like the Irish compensation
bill and the new taxes. In the foreign Office

The Battle for the Cedars.
BY PREssLY W. NORRIS.
CONTINUED.

HOW circumstances change the opln-
IL ions of some mem
These thoughts, opposite to the reason
ing of the previous day, flashed quickly
through Evans mind, while he spent a
minute in examining the will.
"Where did you discover this 2"
asked Evans, glancing up from his ex-
animation.
"How did it happen that you knew
nought of it beforeY''
"All is explained replied the master
of The Cedars, I" by the fact that found
the will in a secret drawer, which L
suppose has not been opened for years,
of course. L discovered the drawer and
its contents accidentally. Ha, hal we
can checkmate old Wylie now, and all
impostors in whose name he may bring
suits"
But there came to the mind of the
man the Recollection of narrative,
hidden away in secret drawer, and
he knew how falsely applied the term
was
"Will you let Wylie go ahead till the
last ?" asked Evans, "or will you make
him aware of the fact that you hold the
winning card Immediately
Would stretch out my hand to
prevent him or her from stepping over
precipice? No They may proceed to
the very last step they can take. Then
they shall be walked from the dream
they have had"
Evans agreed with the master of The
Cedars in his plan. They continued to
discuss their schemes.
"You must remain with me tonight,
Evans" said the master of The Cedars,
presently, and we will celebrate this
lucky turn in my fortunes. What say
you?"
Evans demurred little at first, but
finally accepted the invitation.
Night soon mantled the earth. Dark
shadows fell around The Cedars. The
owl hooted in the distance, and the
mournful cry of the whip-poor-will
come from nearer at hand.
Within the library lights shone bright
ly. The master of The Cedars had ap-
parently forgotten the lesson that he
had so lately been taught, the lesson
that had cost him nearly his life, and
was drinking wine in large quantities.
And Evans departed from his usual
custom, and drank considerably.
The two men were jubiant.
cit is an era in my life, Evans cried
the master of The Cedars; "one well
worth rejoicing over.n
The hours sped. A great clock in an
adjoining apartment struck the hour of
eleven.
The lawyers brain was not much
accustomed to wine, like that of his
host, and he sank back in his cushioned
chair and slept soundly
The minutes glided away.
The master of The Cedars was sleepless
enough. He sat and unused, his heart
beating quickly, keeping time with his
triumphant thoughts. A few hours
previous how precarious had seemed his
hold upon the Cashel fortune. Now
Why sounded the moan of the sea in
his ear? Why before his vision was
white babe, floating on the waves?
After all, had he fallen asleep He
sprang to his feet, and at the same
moment the great clock sounded out
stroke, repeating it eleven times.
1t was midnight.
The last stroke of the clock died away,
and there was an instant of deep silence.
Then there came long, ,mournful sound
that echoed through the stone mansion
like cry of agony. There was brief
pause, and then 1t was repeated. The

and thick that not single star shone
