tions Of Lindow.
Frank McElroy, who was defeated by
Frederick Lindow for the Office of rep
resentative from the First ST. Clair dis
trict, at the recent election, by vote
of 1898 to 1889, has filed a protest with
the clerk of the House of Representa-
tives against the administration of the
oath of Office to his opponent, on the
ground that his election was not fairly
secured Among the counts upon
which Mr.. McElroy bases his protest
are the following: That the canvasses
made by the towns of Ira, China and
Cottrellville were incorrect; that one
of the inspectors of election in Ira
township was intoxicated and fire.
quently left his place upon the board
to canvass for votes; that the township
of Ira should therefore be excluded
from the count; that illegal votes were
cast III Ira, China and Cottrellville;
that illegal methods were resOrted to in
the First and Second wards of the city
of st. Clair, also in the townships Of
Clair, Clay, Columbus. Casco, Kimball,
Wales, Emmett, Riley, Berlin. Mussey
and Lynn, to increase the votes for Mr..
Lindow, and that many of the illegal
votes referred to in the foregoing were
made such by system Of fraudulent
naturalization papers, with the seal Of
the circuit court thereon, were issued
by persons protesting to be deputy
county clerks, and such persons, with
out having been appointed or qualified
filled out such blanks to various men,
and dated them, so as to appear TO
qualify such persons for voting, by
which said practice large percentage
of votes were procured for the Demo-
cratic ticket by persons who were dis
qualified, many of such fraudulent
naturalizations being ante-dated. In
view of the foregoing showing Mr.. Nc
ElrOy prays for an investigation of the
matters aforesaid. and that he may be
declared eected.-Port Huron Com

ORR COUNTRY.

The United States has a population
of at least 100000 at this moment.
This makes it second in this particular
among the great civilized nations of
the world Keeping in view the ratio
of growth Of the countries named be-
tween recent census periods, there are
to-day about SS,O00,0OO inhabitants IN
European Russia, 100000 in Germany
40,OOO.OOOin Austro-Ilungary, 100000
in France, 100000 in Great Britain
and Ireland. 100000 in Italy and H.
100000 in Spain. The population of
none of the other countries of Europe
reaches 100000. Turkeys inhabi-
tants outside of Asia aggregate scarcely
half that figure.
Russia alone of the great powers of
Christendom exceeds the United States
in population. Even Russia must soon
be left far in the rear. On July 1, 1890,
when the next national enumeration
takes place, the United States will have
100000 i'll the year 1900 and 124,OO0,-
600 in the year 1910.
This computation is based on the
average growth of the country during
the century. Employing like basis
for Russia, that nation before 1910 will
have dropped to second place, the
United States taking the first.
Forty years ago the United States
stood sixth in point of population
among the civilized nations of the
globe, and twenty years ago it stood
fifth. Twenty years hence it will stand
first. And will not political, social and
industrial supremacy come with pre-
eminence in population? Perhaps,
but hardly so soon. The United States
leads the nations in extent, value and
variety of natural resources. 1t is nj
ready first in wealth, as W ell as first in
the value of its farms and factories.
Undoubtedly it will eventually achieve
primary in the other great avenues of
human endeavor.
Within the life time of thousands of
Americans now living. it seems alto
gether safe to predict. the United
States will be as completely and un-
questionably the great social center
OF the world as it is aIread. la center
and creator Of much OF which
most powerfully coatrip the
worlds moral and m5'e av'nre
ment.

broken from the mammoth arm Just
above the wrist, aud the imprint vi u
coarse cloth or some woven material
was plainly outlined on the back Of
the hand. At the time Of the dis
coyery nothing was said Of it, as Mr..
Mote doss not belong to the curious
Class OF people. For several mouths
the specimen had laid about the
house, and no body who saw it had
amy idea Of the great amount Of wealth
held firmly iii the grasp Of the stony
fingers. A small boy in the family.
whoss faculty Of smashing things Is
beginning to develop. conceived the
idea OF opening the hand. When
broken, to his astonishment there
rolled out eleven brilliant Transparent
stones. The discovery Of these beau.
ties was not made public until yester.
day, wheu Mr Mote showed them to
jewelsr who pronounced them
genuine first water diamonds without
"a speek or flaw to mar thar beauty.
The pieces are nearly uniform in
shape. and are about the size of limt
beans. They have the appearance Of
being water worn. The posessor Of
