increase in population was over 100
per cent. In 1910 it was over 200 per
cent. In 1850 it was over 100 per
cent. In 1860 it was still over 100 per
cent. In 1870, this being the decade
in which the war occurred, there was
an increase of only $4,000, or about
ten per cent. In 1880, estimating u
population at 809, 900, the increase in
the last ten years falls a fraction below
66 per cent.
These figures show several facts not
generally known. First, that every
ten years previous to the war this state
more than doubled its population, and
once, between 1880 and 1910, it treb-
bled it. 1t shows that had the war
not taken place, and had the ratio Of
increase continued in the past twenty
years as it had in the previous forty,
the state of Arkansas would now have
had a population Of at least one mil
lion and seven hundred thousand. AS
it is, we have now a population of
eight hundred and ten thousand-the
population having increased only ten
per cent between 1860 and 1870, and
sixty-six per cent between 1870 and
1880.
These figures show that, judging
from the past, there has been no ex-
t~ravagant increase in the last ten
years, and that there is no foundation
whatever for any charges that the
enumerators have favored the state in
their work. On the contrary, we be-
lieve that the census, had it been fully
taken, would have shown the state ia
possess a population of nearly, if not
quite, a million souls. The time al.
lowed in which to take it was entirely
too limited.

below a statement taken from the

Manning for Congress.

Pamela Star, l4th.l
At the Second district congressional
conventional Water Valley, Wednes-
day, Hon. Van H. Manning was re-
nominated for congress by acelama-
ton. The result could not have been
otherwise, as he had no opposition.
Colonel Manning's constituents are
familiar with his record in congress,
and his denomination is proof that the
great majority Of them approve and
endorse his course in the legislative
halls of the nation. Having served
nearly two terms in congress, Colonel
Manning, by f~amiliarizing himself
with the methods of legislation and
extending his acquaintance and inhu-
ence among the members of congress,
is better qualified than ever to dis
charge the duties eff his responsible
position aud subserve the interests of
his constituents. 1t is the duty OF all
democrats to heartily and earnestly
support our nominee. The democratic
party cannot afford to loose a single
congressional district, because the
result in one district may involve the
control of the next house Of represen-
tatives.

THE yoTB from the different States foI
President has been aggregated and
General Garfield it is found only leads
HAr cock 3 40l. Including all the votes
counted for all shades of candidates,
Garfield lacks 3l3,9 ,905 Of a majority
over all. Garfield's majority in the
Northern States, where honest elections
we're held, is 440, 600 in round num-
bsrs, and Hancock's majority in the
South, where in at least half the States
the elections were but q miserable
farce, is $1,000 in round numbers.
Had as fair elections been held In the
South as we're held in the North, Gar.
feld would have had majority Of the
popular vot,, even after allowing
Weaver his full vote. According to
the compilation Of the Chicago Tribune
The aggregate vote Of all the States is
~ follows: Garfield, 4,439, AIS; Han
seek, 4,436;O34 ; Weaver, 3o5, ,729 !;
Dow. 9,644 scattering, 1893; total
Vtte, $780, ,j95. The business Of the
Republican party is to prevent repe-
ition Of the great crime against free
government which has for years been

Vheneveriit was necessary for the sue

to Wilmington, they are not, in truth,

The true cause Of the discomfort. What

The junction Road Litigation = A
New Line west

The Pennsy ylvania Legislature sever.
al years ago granted charter to the
Psnnsylvania, the Philadelphia and
Reading, and the Philadelphia, VIII
mington and Baltimore Railroads, au-
thorizine them TO build junction road
through Ph,ls. Zach Company was
to pay one third OF the cost, and tbe
road was to belong to three corporations
Jointly, neither one TO have exclusive
control over any portion Of il. Thu
charter was confirmed by Councils and
the building Of the Junction Road was
begun, under the direction OF the Penn
sylvania Company. Three miles and 8
half were constructed, and bulls render.
ed to the Philadelphia and Reading and
she Philadelphia, Wilmington, and
Baltimore Roads, each Of which paid
i's third OF the cost. The Pennsylva.
mia people then completed thu addition.
al mile and q half, and paid for the
work themselves. They rendered no
bills to the other two companies, and
olsimed to own exclusively that part
OF the new road.
The result Of this was that the Phil.
adelphia and Reading and the Phila-
delphis, Wilmington, and Baltimore
Railroads found themselves deprived
Of the right Of way over the osly por-
tion OF the Junction road which it was
any advantage TO them to use. The
Philadslphia and Reading and the Phil
adslpLia, Wilmington and Baltimore
corporations, when the nature Of the
proceedings became known, at once be-
gan suit In the United States Court to
compel the Pennsylvania Company to
allow them the right OF way over the |
entire junction road, and to render |
them bills for their share Of the ex
penss Of building the mile and half.
This litigation dragged slowly on for
years. About six weeks ago decision |
was rendered against the Pennsylvania
Company.
The moment the decision of the
Court was rendered, enabling them TO
in Philadelphia with the
Bound Brook route Of the New Jersey
Central Railroad, negotiations were
entered into with tho latter company
for running the trains OF the Baltimore
and Ohio direct to Jersey City.
