Rosewater on Postal TeIegraphy.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Edward
Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee and
a practical telegrapher, argued before the
house committee today on behalf of the
postal telegraph. He said he came MOTTO
advocate any particular bill nor to antago,
nize any particular telegraph company.
He said he was convinced that the time
had arrived for the government to en-,
deavor to secure control of the telegraph.
He presented figures showing the ex,
penses and profits on a given wire. and
said he thought II fifteen cent rate for
messages ought to be renumeratIve. Mr..
Rosewater advocated the proposition that
the government buy up all the telegraph
lines, then advertise for proposals to have
a private corporation operate the postal
telegraph system under control Of the
government. This would give the people
a cheaper and more efficient service.

Freight Rates on Corn 10 BE Reduced.
CHICAGO, March 1S.-A special from

on corn from Nebraska points to Chicago
will be reduced one half. At a confer

week, and sentenced to fifteen months
In the penitentiary at Columbus, o.
Last August Simmons went to Lincoln
county and made thorough canvass
among the ignorant negroes of that sec
ton, seeking those that had been in the
army, engaged in Government work, or
had any sort of claim against the
Government. Simmons claimed to be
pension and claim agent sent by the
Government to adjust all claims. He
made the payment of 50 fee pre-
requisite of his taking charge of claim
and at the time of his arrest was reaping
a golden harvest. Negroes flocked to
him from all directions and he could
scarcely fix up their papers as fast as
they presented themselves. To some
of them he promised as much as S170o
within ten days. The victims were all
illiterate. Over twenty of them testi-
fed against Simmons and his conviction
speedily followed.

try Not Quite 63, 900, 900.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The twelfth Of the
series OF census bulletins was issued yes
terdsy on the population Of the United
States. The bulletin says; "The population
of the United States on June ], 1890, as shown
by the first count of persons and families,
exclusive of white persons in Indian Terri
tory, Indians on reservations and Alaska,
was 81. .4so.541 These figures may be slightly
changed by later and more exact compn-
ations, but such changes will not be ma
terlaL In 1880 the population was 80, l55, 5sS
The absolute increase of the population In
the ten years intervening was 12,S24, 7o7 and
the percentage of increase was 2A57 In 1870
the population was stated at 5S, ,55e,S7L Ac-
cording to these figures the absolute in
crease in the decade between 1870 and 1880
was Il, ,517, 4l2 and the percentage of increase
was BIOS. Upon their face these figures
show that the population has Increased be.
tween 1880 and 1899 only ,S45 more than
between 1870 and 1880, while the rate of in
crease has apparently diminished from soGs
to PAST per cent If these figures were de-
rived from incorrect data they would be
disappointing. Such reduction in
the rate of increase In the face
of the enormous immigration dur
ing the past ten years would argue
great dminution In the fecundity of the
population or a corresponding increase in
its death rate. These figures are, however,
easily explained when the character of the
data is understood. 1t is well known, the
fact having been demonstrated by extensive
and thorough Investigation, that the census
of 1870 was grossly deficient in the Southern
States, so much SO as not only to give an ex-
aggerated rate of increase of the population
between 1870 and 1850 in these States, but to
affect very materially the rate of increase in
the country at large"
"There is but little question:" continues
the bulletin, "that the population OF the
United States in 1870 was at least 10000, 600
instead of 38.55s.s71 as stated. If this esti-
mate # the extent of the omissions in 1870
be correct the absolute increase between

rate of increase was not far from Is per

reasonably with similar deductions from
the population in 1880 and 1894 Omtting
from consideration those States in which
the census of 1880 Is known or Is presumed

between 1870 and 1880 in the remaining
