The Next Census.

The census for 1890 promises to show in the
United States population of more than TO-
100000. The population in 1880, according
to the census of that year, was SO, 155, 1888 per-
sons, of whom 43, 475, $50 were native and
6,679,943 foreign born. The natives had in
creased 10, 4844 sos from the figures of 1870,
which were 80, 1911, 142 or 51.5 per cent. The
foreign element had gained more slowly,
bringing the percentage for the entire popu.
lation down to 80 per cent. The same rate OF
increase applied to the census of 1880 will
give an increase of 15,046, $50 persons during
ten years ending 1s90.-New York Telegram,

more money in a crop of corn than in one
of wheat. A year or SO ago kept an ac-
count of the expenses of my wheat crop of

member, raised 20 bushels pee acre. At

A Proud Day for Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam himself was present. with
his new fashioned wide cut trousers on,
the day our four shining white naval
cruisers sailed out of New York bay to
&C 10 Bostoa, then to Europe. to show
them over there that the United States
has at least four swift. light cruisers that
are the equal of any now afloat. There
will be two or three others like them.
aboard The Yorktown, the Boston. the
Atlanta and the Chicago constitute the
first American fleet that has visited Eu-
rope in forty-one years. They are armed
with moderately large cannon and six
pound Hotchkiss guns, all thoroughly
modern.
For many years warships have been
painted black. giving them peculiarly
grim and sullen appearance. Our new
swift cruisers are painted white. With
their symmetrical model they look like
birds upon the water The Chicago is
the flagship of the squadron, and the one
that carries handsome Rear Admiral
Walker Best of all, in few years we
shall have sixty-six more cruisers a1oat,
built on the plan of these four. The
thought of the four that are already con-
structed. with the sixty-six yet to come,
should make every Americans heart
swell with pride.

Progressive Mexico.

No subject interested Gen. Grant more
in his later years than the development
of the material resources of Mexico and
her advancement in civilization. He had
great hopes of her future, some of which
would have been realized if he had lived
till now.
Gen. Diaz is now serving his third
term as president Of Mexico, a fact that
speaks volumes for this country, which
used to be torn with internal discussions.
In 1879 Mexico had only 372 miles of
railway, against more than 5000 in 1889.
The government revenues in 1870 were
S16.00O.0O0, in 1889 they will be nearly
S39. 5000, 900, more than doubling in nine
teen years. Mexican exports in 1885
amounted to not quite 100000. In
1889 they were S2,OOO.00O greater. Her
chief exports are from her mines. In
1885 her goods shipped to the United
States were of the value of $25, 600. 900.
In three years they increased $1,000, 00O
Though her mining interests are most
important, yet the republic has hum
dreds of millions in her cattle ranches,
her forests of rich furniture woods, and
her plantations of coffee, sugar, cocoa
and fruits. Best of all, President Diaz
can truly announce to his people and the
world that the republic is peace.

At the close of the war the state of
West Virginia made demand on old
Virginia for the surrender of G. 7. O'Fer-
raj. an ex-Confederate colonel. West
Virginia wanted him to answer for de-
struction of property in a cavalry raid
during the war; The property had been
destroyed in the neighborhood where
O'Ferrai was born and reared. His old
neighbors formed a plot to take him from
the custody of the officers and hang him
to a tree close by his mothers house in
case the requisition was honored. But
it was not, and O'Ferral escaped hang
ing. Time went on. The ex-Confeder-
ate studied law and went to congress
from old Virginia. He became Repre-
sentative O'Ferral. Not many years ago
his old friends who were going to hang
him invited him to visit them and de-

Charleston, s. c., is at length to go
into the ship building industry. A COM
pany has been Incorporated for business
and the money is raised. Small coast
wise vessels will be first built; then, il
the enterprise is successful, larger ones.
1t is TO be hoped the new industry will
be entirely successful, as it will give en-
ployment to a number more people in this
crowded world. In our generation the
benefaetorof The race is he who gives 1t =
new industry. At Charleston the south
sern live oak and pine, the cheapest and
best materials for shipbuilding in the
Union, can be manufactured into the
woodwork of vessels almost on their ma
tive ground. Ships ought to be built
more cheaply at Charleston than they
are farther north. Labor in the south is
much cheaper.

The limited States of Brazil.

OF course European powers predict
that the republic of Brazil cannot last.
1t is their policy But perhaps it will.
Evidently the Brazilian republicans in
tend to pattern after the United States.
They have adopted our stars and stripes.
wrought out in the green and gold which
are the coIors of Brazil.
At any rate, whether the republic is
there to stay or not. it was the neatest
revolution on record The Brazilians are
the most courteous people alive They
are too polite to kill anybody Therefore
the revolutionists simply waited on the
gentlemanIy old emperor and informed
him that his time was up. They would
give him a handsome annuity for life,
they would treat him with the utmost
courtesy. but his time was up.
Dom Pedro was fully as polite. He
answered that he would go as soon as be
could pack his wardrobe. and gave the
committee assurance of his distinguished
consideration And go he did, leaving
part of his jewelry behind him. He is
now the worlds most prominent case of
royalty out of a situation. He will have
some company before the century is out.
Queen Victoria has invited him to visit
her at Windsor If he had been a de-
posed president of q republic, he would
vhave stayed out in the cold o long time
before she would have done that.
Yet it is pity the revolutionists could
not have allowed the emperor TO serve
his lifetime out He was democratic to-
the hearts core. He had been the bitter
and outspoken opponentof slavery. The
country was constitutional empire and
as free as Great Britain. In general, the
government was like that of the United
States. There were the two legislative
houses, and the provinces had their own
assemblies, like our state governments.
The emperor had veto power and his
own council of state. Senators to the
general government were elected for life.
This the republic will abolish.
Suffrage was not universal under the
empire. Universal suffrage has been
proclaimed for the republic. Whatever
could be done to promote education and
material advancement among his people,
Dom Pedro did. Brazil has always been
the most prosperous and serene Of the
South American countries.

some London Editors.

| A writer in The New York Star con-
tributes some interesting personalities
about the men at the head of the leading
London newspapers.
One is astonished to find that London
editors are much better paid than their
brethren in America, as rule. Sir Ed
win Arnold, of The London Telegraph,
the gentleman who has just visited us
! and been made much of, stands at the
head of British newspaper men. both as
to reputation and salary. He receives
$4,000 year. There is only one editor
in America who even has the name of
getting as much as that. We learn also
that the sub-editors and leading CORE
i spondents of the chief London dailies re-
ceive from $1,000 to S12, 900 a year. Even
the reporters and the rank and file of
London journalists are better paid than
the same class in this country. Unjust be
that fewer people can write over there
than in America.
Perhaps the second most famous Lon
/ don editor is Mr.. w. T. Stead, of the
Pail Mall Gazette, the editor who can
always be depended on to give the Brit
ish public a sensation. He is the hard
est worked newspaper man in London,
though not the best paid. He lives in
the country, drives into the city every
day dozen miles, and is at his desk at
O'clock in the morning. He stays at
it till p. IN. Mr.. Stead will start a
model newspaper for the world in the
spring. and is coming to America first
to study us awhile. 1t is likely we can
give him some points.
Another famous English editor is
Henry Labouchere, profanely called
"Labby." He owns half of The London
News, all of London Truth, is mem
Der of parliament and rich man. He
speaks his mind, likes Americans, and
tweaks the noses of royalties in speech
and writing. =
Edmund Yates, founder and owner of
The London World, is also rich editor.
He was one of the first English newspa-
per men to go in for personal journal
ism. American fashion, and it paid him
handsomely.
The point that strikes the American
newspaper writer is the wealth of these
English journalists. The richest one of
all is Edward Lloyd. proprietor of The
Daily Chronicle and Lloyd's Weekly
newspaper, both being publications little
known here. But even in the United
States it is not always the journal with
the widest fame that earns the most
money. Mr.. Lloyd has farm in Africa,
where is grown the grass that makes the
paper on which his journals are printed.

Insurgents In Guatemala Captured and
the Leaders Shot.
PANAMA, Nov. 25.-Particulars of the
revolution in Guatemala are now made
public. 1t appears that an assault was
made on the Mataes-C iuntla barracks
and that the arms were seized. The rev.
olutionists then started on an expedition.
Directly the government received news
of the movements troops were sent out
under different commanders, and receive
ing prompt support from Santa Rosa,
Juliapa, Jalapa, Zacapa and Chiquimula,
sharply followed up the rebels and cap
tured the leaders, Coils. Hipolito Ruana
and Migueal Montenegro. They were
tried by court martial and were shot.
the remainder of the band then threw
away their arms and scattered. Order
is re-established.

There are intelligent people, in their
right minds, apparently, who still believe
in the Kelly motor. Someof them declare
they have seen it work, and that it really
does what Kelly claims, but how they
cannot tell. A gentleman, who agrees
with Professor Hyland Kirk that the
human body is storage battery for
electricity, suggests that possibly the
force may be electricity and may come
from Kelly himself, he being presum-
ably powerful battery, unknown even
to himself, with electricity enough in
him to run threshing machine.

commended to insurance and railroad

The Knights are not so large a body as
