The new census of st. Louis makes the
population $4,000. This places her on the
list as the sixth city in point of population IN
the United States. Prof. Woodward's enum-
Grafton shows that about $4,000 omissions
were made last June.
The ~greenback vote in the state of New York
has increased from 1887 in 1876 to 21,0oo in
1880. The World says: NJ JEWELS invest
ment in Weaver's canvass seems, after all, to
have been the most remunerative made by
that distinguished political fn2ncier."
The American Union Telegraph company
has given orders to Siemans Brothers, the
Londsn cable constructors, for the construc-
ton of two new Atlantic cables. A compe-
tition in. the cable business may now be in
augurated that will work to the advantage Of
the press and the people generally.
The official returns of the vote of Oregon
foots up a majority of 1853 for Garfield. Ne.
vada gives Hancock III majority. These
majorluies, which are about a stand-of, and
the close vote in California for the electoral
ticket, show that the two great opposing

western shores. There is cause for congratu-
lation in this fact. 1t will put the represent
tatives Of either party on their good behavior,
a consummation most ~devoutly desired by

1t is said that President Hayes will recon-
mend a territorial governor for Alaska. In
the event that congress acts favorably upon
his suggestions a fine field will be opened in
which the red-hot politicians of the east who
are afflicted with a chronic itching for terri
terial offices may have their aspirations salts
fed and their ardor cooled off at one and the
same time. Alaska is large enough for a
dozen or more good-sized territories. Let us
have them and use them as refrigerators for
the army of broken down political hacks that
constantly besiege and importune the presi-
DENTAL MANSION for appointment to office.
A San Francisco correspondent Of a Boston
paper is receiving a Sturnlng over" from the
press of the Golden Gate city because he
asserted that San Francisco has decreased
nearly 6O,O00 in population since 1876. The
papers of that city claim that there is no

emit loss of people. They admit that many
non-residents and Cinnamon have left the
city since the time the census was last taken,
but hold that the tax-paying element of their
population has increased. They all unite in
the wish that the remaining Mongolians may
initiate the example Of their brethren and fol-
low their noses to the Orient.
It is stated that the Chinese commission
has perfected a new treaty with the Chinese
government. Nc intimation has been given
of its provisions, but it is confidently as
serted that it is one that will meet the appro-
baton of the American people. As it is we'll
known that our citizens entertain different
opinions in regard to the proper solution Of
the Chinese problem, the text Of the treaty
with the celestials that will satisfy all will be
locked for with more than ordinary interest.
In thisc connection we may state that there
has been an unusual immigration of tho
Chinese from the Pacific coast within the last
few weeks. 1t is now thought that the new
treaty has something to do with this unex-
pected but gratifying movement of the
