EXPERTS believe that the population

EXPERTs believe that the population
in 1890 will reach 64,OOO,OOO, an
increase of 100000 over 1880.
Hitherto there has been complaint by
many towns and cities that the re-
suits of the census were not published
as early as wanted. To obviate this the
new bill authorizes the Superintendent
of the Census to furnish any town or
city with list of names and state
ment of population upon payment Of
% cents for each 100 names. Anoth-
er feature of interest is the provision
that the Superintendent shall cause
to be taken the names of those who
served in the army, navy or marine
corps of the United States in the war
of the rebellion, and who are survivors
at the time of said inquiry and the
widows of soldiers, sailors or mariners. !"

A CURIOUS illustration of how far
dust is carried, says the Historian, is
afforded by the fact that when the

it has nearly ever since Christmas,
appreciable quantities of finest alkali

A LATE dispatch from Gloucester,
Mass, says that several vessels which
left that place on experimental voy-
ages after Pacific coast halibut, have
returned heavily laden and report
greater success than was anticipated.
Captain Solomon Jacobs, who took the
fleet Of vessels out to Tacoma and Sc
attic, reports that he has been so sue
cessful that a company has been formed
in the latter place to take all the
halibut he can catch, at the uniform
price of 4 cents per pound, and the
company will in turn deliver them
in the Western, Middle and East
ern States. Two Gloucester vessels
brought together 1900 pounds OF
fish, which were sold to wholesalers at
Is cents pound. By the time these
fish reach the consumer added profits
will have to be made. The retail price
will be from 25 to 35 cents per pound,
with an inexhaustible supply for the
next twenty years at least, along the
Pacific coast, selling to the company
at the uniform price of 4 cents per
pound throughout the year, and tax
ing into consideration that the Pacific
coast is free to great extent from
fierce gales that play havoc on the At
lantic, it looks rs though the halibut
business along the New England
coast is doomed, and will shortly be
transferred to Tacoma, Seattle and
other Puget Sound ports.

Tariff Reform.
New York Times.

The late election returns of the
leading manufacturing towns of Mass
achusetts not only show that the free
trade scare was utterly ineffective
there, but indicate that the cause of
tariff reform is making progress in
what were supposed to be the very
strongholds of protection. In all
these towns there was an increase in
the vote of both parties over that of
1884, but by far the greater gain was
on the Democratic side. The three
greatest centers of cotton manufacture
ing in the country are Lowell, Law
renee and Fall River. In the first
the Republican vote increased S48
and the Democratic 1915; in the sec
ond the Republican increase was 422,
Democratic $50, and in the last, Re
publican increase $50, Democratic L.

general manufactures is Worcester,
where the wooden and iron interests
are especially prominent, and while
the Republican vote was 1865, greater
than in 1884 the Democratic increase
was 2,797. In the leading boot and
shoe making towns the net gain is also
on the Democratic side, and where
in the minor manufacturing places it
is the other way the difference is in
The balance of gain in

made more doleful or alarming.

man. A wager was struck, aud to settle
it the youth sent q letter to Bellew ask.

tiop, saying that a box of bonbons and a
fine looking girl were OF stake. The
actors answer was rather ingenious. II
is as follows, and shows the audacity in
