A SOBER study or the ABOVE taDlo
shows an increase almost unprece-
dented. To European nations this
growth is simply marvellous. So accus-
toned are we to advancing by leaps and
bounds that the Pre- SIS regrets to find
dissatisfaction, especially in what are
known as 1.-THE boom towns" Here. for
example, is Birmingham, Ala, a stray
Cling village OF 5000 inhabitants in
1880, transformed into splendid city of
10000, tenfold increase. Duluth, not
big enoughin 1880 to be classified with
cities of over 1000 population, shows up
in 1890 with $4,000 population. Chatta-
nOOga goes from $4,000 to $4,000, an in
crease of 800 per cent. Atlanta nearly
doubles its population, with nearly all
the other growing Southern towns and
cities either doubling or increasing at
the rate OF rs and so per cent. Chicago
grandly adds half million to its popu-
latiOn. The metropolitan district, with
New York as center, comes to the
front with an additional million of souls.
The returns from cities throughout the
country show extraordinary gains and
indicate that the population of the
country will not fall far short of the es-
Inmates.
The complaints in Western cities of
unsatisfactory enumeratiOnS are entire
ly unfounded. Take, for example, KAN
sas City; with $1,000 in 1880. Is not
100000 or $4,000, an increase of 10000,
immense? Omaha. ten years ago, had
but 10000 population. The census of
1890 will show population of $4,000,
an increase of over 400 per cent. or an
addition of over 100000 to the popula-
ton. ST. Paul and Minneapolis. each
with but little over 10000 in 1880, now
glory in 10000 and 10000 respectively.
All through the country the growth has
been the same. Is it not time that the
foolish criticisms OH the census were
stopped? Have we no pride in this
growth and no gratitude to Almighty
God for blessing this land with peace
and prosperity and material progress
during the last decade such as no other
nation ever witnessed? Must we mar 1t
by unworthy and totally unwarranted
partisan attacks on the bureau working
night and day with as splendid corps
of men and women as ever were brought
together for the purpose of quickly and
accurately ph0tographing this tre-
mendous progress? Surely not. Such
course is wrong. Look at the SPLEEN
did totals and rejoice.

A sTUPENDoUs GROWTH.

What the Paper Owned by Mr..
Porter, Chief of the Census
Bureau, Has to Say.
New York Press.
The eleventh census will show the
most stupendous growth in the popula-
ton of cities ever witnessed in any
country on the globe. Those who are
spreading the vicious falsehoods about
the census methods and claiming that
part of the population in the large cities
has not been enumerated will, within
few weeks, when the official count is
published, be ashamed of their own
criticism. The census Office can well
afford to look on with equanimity. The
day is not far distant when the magnifi-
cent totals of the population of our
cities will brush away all narrow at
tackS Oh the CENSUS Office, and the
piping of partisan pigmies will be
drowned in the grand chorus of Amer
lean citizens rejoicing at the ire
mendous growth in urban population
during the last decade. The following
table is made up from the estimates
made by supervisors in the several
cities Immediately after the count and
telegraphed various newspapers. This
table was compiled from at least twenty
different journals, and we believe fur
nisheS as correct an estimate as is pos
SibIe at this time:

ACCEPTED THE JOINT SITE.
The Worlds Fair to Be Held on
the Lake Front.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The worlds fair
national commission this afternoon for
mally accepted the joint site, consisting
of the lake front and jackson park, as
the location for the Columbian expoSi-
ton by vote OF rs to IL. This con-
clusion was not reached without much
discussion. In fact, when the question
came up the opponents of this location,
as offered by the local board of direct
ors, seemed to number about as many
as the advocates of it. Various resolu-
tions and amendments, expressive of
the views of individual commissioners,
were offered; but, after the commits
sioners had listened 10 detailed eXplana-
tions by the directors. vote was taken
On the proposition to accept the site as
rendered, with the result as given be-
fore this matter came up. A communi-
cation was received from the National
Dairy association asking that such spe-
cial consideration be given to that in

in this interest be appointed was re-
ferred to the committee on organization.

Trying to Defraud Housekeepers


Respectable grocers are much in
censed at the disreputable practices
resorted to by baking powder concern
to introduce its goods in this market.
1t employs lot of cheap and incompe-
tent people to go around and make what
they call ''testS' of baking powders,
which simply mean condemning every
kind except the one they peddle. SO
ignorant and unprinclpled are these
parties that where two samples from
the same package have been given them
they have pronounced one very good
and the other very bad. They indis-
criminately condemn the best known
goods of very highest reputation which
in any way compete with their own.
All the high class grocers are dealing
largely, and have been for years, in the
baking powders condemned by these
itinerants. and sthey resent the accusa-
ton that they are selling impure and
adulterated goods, especially as they
know it to be untrue and made for
purely mercenary purposes. A prom
inent grocer OF Newburyport has threat
ened the arrest of the slanderers, and
has expressed his determination to sell
none of their goods.
An evidence of the fraudulent intent
of these parties exists in the fact that in
several instances they have been given
their own baking powder to examine.
when, suppOSing it to be. another. they
have unhesitatingly condemned it as
adulterated.
Methods of this kind indicate both
ignorance of the first principles of bust
ness and absence of either honor or
morality. and will disgust consumers as
well as dealers.

DEMONS AT THEIR WORK
Another Diabolical Attempt to Wreck
a Passenger Train.
Ties We're Placed Upon the Track
OF New York Central Express
Which Was Crowded With
Passengers.

PoUoHEEEPsIE, n. Y, Sept. s.-A des-
perate attempt was made tonight 70
wreck the fast ST. Louis and Chicago
express which leaves New York on the
New York Central at 6 p. m. The train
was stopped by danger signal south Of
the old Troy Hill yards south Of the new
Hamburg draw bride.
Two minutes previous the 1agman had
discovered several ties standing endways
in culvert near Old Troy and when he
took hold Of one of them to remove IL he
was fired upon from the bushes on the
east side OF the track. Knowing the fast
express was nearly due he ran southwark
and set the danger signal which stopped
the train.
The tiagman said the ties stuck up
above the rails and would have certainly
thrown the train from the track. The
fast train was composed OF seven or eight
sleeping cars, all full. two ordinary
coaches aud baggage car. There were
eight ties on the up track, and there were
also two ties placed alongside OF the rail
toward the south so as to ditch the train.
The train passed here half an hour later.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-When Hersh-
field came here the other day II was
understood by some of the Montana
people that the chief errand that brought
him TO the capital was to discover il he
could fix il up with Carter to have the
good republican party transferred to him
and to get Carter's consent that he should
run for congress. just how that is to help
the situation that Carter has complained
OF, the too great preponderence OF Helena
in the national legislature, il is not easy
TO say; but there is flaw in the Carter
Hershfleld plan. Power is understood to
have a west side candidate, a man
named Thompson Campbell, whose fame
has not yet reached Washington. Power
thinks that his man Campbell would carry
the east and the west side with whirl.
Power wants man whom he can run,
and he complains that he cannot run
Carter. Having employed Campbell and
found him useful, he now believes that he
can bring him into the house and get him
to attend to the business in which he
Power is interested He thinks also
that his unpopularity created by the sena.

there is no danger to be apprehended to

COOPER AND RAUM.
They Resume Their Fight Before the In
vestigating Committee

Ne-ugating Commtttee.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-The Raum in
vestigation was resumed to-day and Le-
mon called 10 the stand. He read pre-
pared statement which was 10 the effect
that as the first charge did not concern
him, he had nothing TO say. As to the
second charge which referred 10 himself,
he said he had known General Raum
% years. His financial stand
ing was high and his endorsers
were men of reputation, so when he
wanted money TO open up his mining pro-
perty the witness endorsed two his notes,
one for 5000 and one for $1,000. which
were subsequently extended. Respecting
the charge that the witness secured undue
advantage from the completed files order.
he said the completed files order was not
novel in principle, but had been the prac-
tice Of the office for years. Towards the
end Of the fiscal year il was customary 10
pick out such completed cases and dis
pose of them. That had been done by
Commissioner Black. IL was a wise prac-
tice.
The charge that Commissioner Raum
had given him any undue advantage
in the completed flies order was an un-
qualified falsehood, and furthermore il
would be an absolute impossibiIty for the
commissioner to force him. The witness
never asked anything from Commissioner
Raum, or any other commissioner, to
which he was not entitled as an attorney.
Unfair as Cooper had been he had invited
him To come to his Office any day and ex-
anime every case and every employe. He
wanted nim To come in the front door,
like a man, and not hunt up discharged
clerks. That would obviate the necessity
for making baseless charges.
Cooper cross-examined the witness. He
asked what witness fortune was, 10 which
the witness promptly replied "that is none
OF your business and returned the same
answer to the next question, as To the
amoiYht OF his annual income.
Cooper then returned 10 the attack by
asking il the. witness had not been
charged with forging Mr.. Colfax's name
TO certificate
The witness replied that he had not. IN
the committee desired to go into that he
wished 10 be allowed 10 call witnesses, rs
il related To transaction OF - years ago.
General Raum had first spoken To the
witness about money matters in January,
before he became commissioner. When
| the proposition To make the order like the
cohpic'eu li's "ruc, was unucr us'us
sion, Deputy Commissioners Lincoln 90,
jected that Its elect would be To turn all
the oiiice upon witness cases but tna'
was wrong belief. The completed files
order was made on January q, and the

cases in ordinary files Was beneficial, n,
