biography, is a hoary-haired man with
scholarly stoop, and still presides
over the Phonetic Institute, Bath, En-
gland. He is rising seyenty-eight, yet

American authors, lately credited with
earning $4,000 by his pen, says that his
total revenue for 1Ss9-including royal
ties on six novels, magazine articles,

exactly 81, 10. 40 Propably not half a
dozen American writer's. who have no
regular salaried position, do better than
this. Living by ones pen, except as
book-keeper or journalist, is only an
other name for starvation.

possIDIe, ana so tnaJ wnen one
part of the freight is taken out tho
other portion will not tumble down.
This is called station order loading"
The man who picks up the freight
here and there and puts it on the trucks
and calls it off while the truckman
wheels it away, and the loading clerk
checks it off, is called picker" He
is a more valuable man than the truck
man, and the railroads, in the strike
just ended, consented to pay the ''picl-
ers' $l.5o day. 1t is easy to imagine
the inconvenience caused by gang of
inexperienced truckmen wheeling
freight just after strike. 1t was a
fortunate thing for the railroads that
the old men consented to come back,
although new men could be trained in
no great length of time. st Louis

The marriage ceremony practiced
by the people of Borneo is very short
and simple. Bride and groom are
brought out before the assembled tribe
with great solemnity, and seated side
by side. 4 betel-nut Is then cut in two
by the medicine-woman OF the tribe. and
one half is given to the bride and tho
other half to the groom. They begin to
chew the nut; and the old woman. after
some sort of incantation, knocks their
heads together, and they are declared
man and wife.

The exhilsrating reports OF demo
cratic success In the recent election
are more than confirmed day by day
as the returns come in. The mag
nificient triumph was q victory for
American manhood. The contest
narrowed down to fight against the
centralizing tendency OF our times
which seeks to give the control Of
our government into the hands Of
corporations, selfish partizsns and
grasping monopolists. 1t was rev
olution. 1t was rebuke to radical
ism. 1t was q reputation OF the
force bill, the Mckinley bill, the re.
publican congress, the silver swim
die and the Harrison administration.
The splendid result achieved means
tariff reform 1t means chance for
every honest man. 1t means priv.
ileged classes must 60. 1t means
democracy and Grover Cleveland.
What tremendous victory 1t WAS.
East, west, north and south, the peo-
Pile have spoken in no uncertain
tones. Not since 1874 has there
been such a political revolution.
The House is democratic overwhelm.
ing!y and the republican Senate
hangs by thread. II Little old
Man Harrison had been In the field
he would have been lost in the gen.
eral wreck. The success OF the par
ty Of the people 10 cause for devout
praise and thanksgiving on the part
ofevery friend of honest government,
of clean politics, OF home rule, of
equal rights, of tariff reform. 1t 10
long step In the right direction and
q forerunner of the still greater tri
umph that is to be won in 1891.

The population of the United
States on June l, 1890, as shown by
the first count of persons and fami.
lies, exclusive of white persons In
the Indian Territory and Indians on
reservations and Alaska. was so, $780,
$40. These figures may be slightly
changed by later and more exact
compilations, but such changes will
not be material. In 1880 the popu,
latlon was 50,155,7s3. The actual
increase therefore in the population
in the ten years intervening Is IL,
324,575, and the per centage Of in
crease 2457. The increase in the
decade between 1870 and 1880 was
H,5l7,4l2, the per centage of in
crease, $3.50. The total population
accredited TO Arkansas by Mr.. Por-
ter is 1,l25,3S3, 1922, $50 more than
in 1880, per centage of increase Of
40.23. On the basis OF the Dunnell
re superintendent bill, allowing $780,
900 inhabitants to a congressional
district, this State will gain con
gresham. Under the present ap
portionment she Is entitled to five
members of congress, hereafter she
will have six.

BEFORE the election the most san
guine democrat in all the land new
er dreamed that his party had the
slightest chance OF getting control
OF the Senate within q dozen yearS
at least. AS the debris OF the politi-
cal cyclone IS cleared away, how
ever, the surprising fact is made
patent that such inroads have
been made upon the Legislatures OF
hitherto republican states that the
lordiy senators in the majority OF
that august body will be made to
roost pretty low after the expiration
Of the 51st congress. The present
membership is 81, forty-seyen re-
publicans and thirty-seven demo
Gratis. The new States OF Idaho and
Wyoming will add four senators to
the republican side, making their
majority 81, and the total member
ship IS, forty-fiYe being majority.
The six states Of Illinois, Kansas
New Hampshire, New York, South
Dakota and Wisconsin will elect
democratic senators TO the 52ud con
eress. Take six from the republican
majority OF 81 and 45 is left, add
the six thus taken to the democratic
side and they have 40. The repub
hcan majority, therefore, in the 52nd
congress will be but two.

The announcement that Col. w.
NJ. Fishback has become q candidate
for the United States Senate In op-
position to Col. j. X. Jones will be
q very great surprise to great num-
Der OF people. Not that his ablli
ties, worth and inestimable services
to his state and party are MT fully
recognized and conceded, but be-
cause it has been understood that he
would be candidate for governor
two years hence and generally agreed
that be would have q walk over for
the position. Beyond this nothing
else has been seriously mentioned in
public way. We challenge any
one TO have higher appreciation OF
Col. Fishback than we, or to more
sincerely desire to see him elevated
to position. which his eminent abil.
tiles qualify him to all, but we Sc
riously question the wisdom Of the
step he has just taken. The sena-
torisl succession was not made an
issue in the State campaign but
there was tacit understanding that
Mr.. Jones was to be his own success
sor. Members OF the legislature
we're elected with this idea FREEDOM
mating and doubtless they will feel
constrained to vote accordingly.
Col. Jones has made q most capable,
efficient and faithful public servant
and stands deservedly high In pub
lie esteem. To displace him under
the circumstaces would be an Hercu-
lean task. If such displacement
could possibly be accomplished by
any man in the state, that one and
one only is the gallant and noble
Col. Flshback.
