Reed Will Not Be Daunted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Mr. Reed of
Maine is about the only one OF the big
Republican leaders left to marshal the
slim Republican force in the next con-
gress in resisting attack from the Dem
ocratic mob just elected. Messrs. Nc
Kinley, Cannon, Baker, Conger, Far
quhar, Perkins, Struble, Mccormick,
Butterworth, Carter, Morrill,, Delano,
I.aidlaw and Dunnell are all chairmen
of commit tees. and none OF them come
back next year. Neither will Gear
McComas, Bayne, Thompson, noi
Grosvenor and others whose names
have been familiar to the public, and
whose records mark their greatness as
debaters or parliamentarians.
Of the prominent old members there
will he as aides to Mr.. Reed Messrs
Burrows, CutcheOn, Dingley, BOutellt
and Henderson, of Iowa, while soms
OF the newer material may develop un
expected and unknown quantities.
Mr.. Reed is hardly a man to iiincl
from the responsibility thus thrown
upon him. lie will he a terror to the
unwieldy majority, and, instead o.
being borne down by the absence OF his
old captains, he will enjoy the fray al
the more in having ample opportunity y
to get OIL his plle-driving short speeches
and his exasperating sarcasms.
The Democrats, on the other hand
will have nearly all their old leaders
and that fact indicates a lively scram
ble for the speakership between Mills
Crisp, Mcmillan, Breckenridge and thu
rest.

LEAvENwORTH, Kan, November l 3
The Bandana Club gave a banquet
this evening in honor OF Thurman
birthday. This afternoon four police
men raided the National hotel, seized
all the wine the club had procured
and emptied it into the sewer The
clubs officers swore out warrants
against the police for larceny and
placed them in the hands OF the sher-
III, who arrested the policemen. The
latter were soon released on bail.
The Bandana Club secured n new lot
OF wine and had twenty deputy sher-
IFS sworn in to take possession OF the
hotel. The police threatened to raid
it, but at a late hour this evening the
banquet was in progress and no raid
had been attempted.

The new census gives the population
Of the United States at 62,4SO,54O
In 1850 the population was 80, Il 55,-
1s3. The absolute increase of the
population in the ten years interven-
ing was l2,32i,157, and the percent
age OF increase was 5l.51. In 1870
the population was stated ut rs, 800,
31l. According to these figures the
absolute increase in the decadge be-
tween 1870 and | $50 was ,561, Alp
and the percentage oi increase was
3O.OS. Great dissatisfaction is found
with the work OF Supt. Porter and
his enumerators. The census falls
two million below all reasonable esti-
mates, and there is strong evidence
that the work, so far as giving any
thing like the actual population OF the
United States, is a failure.
