THE SUN
For 1891.

Some people agree with THE Suns opin.
ions about men and things, and some peo-
pie don't but everybody likes to get hold
of the newspaper which is never dull and
never afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know that for twenty years
THE SUN has fought in the front line for
Democratic principles, never wavering or
weakening in its loyalty to the true in
terests Of the party it serves with fear
less intelligence and disinterested vigor.
At times opinions have differed as to the
best means of accomplishing the common
purpose; it is not THE Suns fault if it
has seen further into the milestone.

PHARlSAlCAL- CHARITY,

A few days ago an association that sails under the misleading title of the Working Girls' Society held a convention in this city. The affair was gorgeous; it afforded fine opportunities for display of the wealthy society ladies who man age the concern. Prominent among viable record in the Board of Education, where she distinguished herself for ruth tions due to her own sex in the persons of some of the female public school teachers.
 The ostensible purpose of the so called Working Girls Society is to com. mand for working girls opportunities for education, which the majority of them have missed through the necessity of becoming wage earners when scarcely more than children, to increase their happiness, elevate their tone and gener- ally improve their condition.
 Notwithstanding these high.sounding professions, would those fashionable | danes for moment consider any scheme calculated to put an end to the fruitful cause itself of all that lack of l education, child-labor, small earnings low tone, suffering and degradation among working girls, to the alleviatior of which they pretend to have set theil caps? Far from it. As fifteen year old Miss belonging to the -Four Hun dred" recently put it after reading Looking Backward, It won't do tC have no poor; who would be there tC look up to us?
 Thus the inhuman system of wag, slavery answers double purpose to ou exploiting classes. It furnishes then the ill-gotten wealth in which they wal low, and it serves to furnish the pedesta on which to raise their cheap, phari saical philanthropy.

IN A NEW LIGHT.

Is the Judge Garry who lately de- cided that it was not hbelous to call a man an anarchist the same Judge Garry who, three years ago, decided that an archists should he hanged anyhow? If so, where does the new light come from in which he now reads the law. Does he see at last that the real anarchists are the men of his cass-the men who placed him on the bench-the middle class who, crushed between concen, trated capital and organized labor, clamors vainly for its lost freedom oi indiscriminateIy crushing competitors and wage slaves!

FIVE MILLIONS A YEAR.

L. lFll@LiNStNo " @f''' The Manhattan Railway Co. is making an issue of $6,O00 GOO four per cent, bonds having one hundred years to run. The directors of that monopoly assume that it's existence will not be short of a century; or that any debt which may be saddled upon it will be paid by the clty if its existence is shortened by legs- Iation. In the meantime, the stockhold. CTS are earning enormous dividends upon their enormously watered stock, after paying enormous "wages of super intendence" to their directors and com paratively low rate of interest to their bondholders, who furnished nearly the whole capital required for the building and equipment of the roads. The official statement of the Elevated Railway system for the year ending Sept. 50, 1889, shows that the gross earnings in that year were $9,0S0,O00, as against "Operating expenses and taxes" to the amount of $5, ,422, ,0OO, leaving $3,G58, GOO as earnings. Since then-that is, for the six months ending March 3l, 1S90-- the net earnings have beer $2, 150, GOO, or at the rate of S4,8O0,000 a year, which is about $l2, 1000 per day. A look into the "operating expenses would be in teresting but this item is kept in the dark closet of the directors, with such other skeletons, political and financial, which it would not be prudent to ex- pose to the gaze of q meddlesome pub lic At any rate it is safe to say that if instead of granting to monopoly the privilege of transporting it's inhabitants the city of New York had built and was running the elevated railways, Gin the same manner as in cooperation with the city of Brooklyn it has built and is run. ming the East River bridge) the whole cost of the structure would now be re, covered and a net income of over S5,000,000 would annually flow from this source into the municipal treasury This represents the interest of two hun dred million dollars at 2i per cent. which is the rate at which the city is now borrowing money. It would giv' us in two years sufficient school accom- modations for the 100000 children o the poor who ought to be but are not il the schools, and sufficient money t' supply them with the food and clothin, which most of them must now earn il stores, shops and factories in compe tition with adult labor, or on the stree as newsboys and bootblacks.

REED WINS
The Speakers Great
Victory.
EXCELLENT MAJORITY.
More than Double That of the Last
Election.

PORTLAND, Me September S-Port-
land is wild with excitement TO light
over the astonishing victory OF Speaker
Reed. The average plurality III his dis
trict has been about | 600 since he has
been in Congress. Two years ago, III a
presidential year and with an unpopular
Democratic candidate, he received plur-
ality Of 2.400. This was considered re-
markable; but his plurality in the dis
trIct to-day will reach nearly, if not quite,
i, 500-a gain of =, 100. The most san
gl.ine friends of the Speaker did not think
his plurality could exceed 1000 and The
general estimate was 800. The victory
astonishes his supporters as much as his
opponents. In Por land (AIr. Reeds city
he has over 800 plurality gaia of SOC
over two yeals ago. In Saco aud Bidde
ford he gains 400, and almost every town
in the district shows a gain of from 10 to
30.
At this hour ten o'clock, Mr.. Reed is

Tremendous enthusiasm prevails all oveI

The result on the governor returns will

Governor Burieigh is re elected, of course

Democratic Newspapers are now
very busily engaged in explaining
away" Speaker Reeds signal victory in
Maine and the triumphant success OF
the Republicans all along the line.
And yet up to the very day OF the
Maine Election they were INDUCING
all sorts of rash prophecies of Repub-
lican disaster. For instance the Phila-
delphia Times of Monday speaking of
Mr.. Reeds Candidacy said. "The
district is strongly Republican, and it
should give him 1900 tair majority to-
day, allowing for the lighter vote Of an
of-year; but it is evident that he ex-
poets no such majority, and that he
fears defeat"
The New York IT0Tld'S Portland
correspondent, telegraphng on Sunday
night, after a presumably thorough
canvass of the situation, made the
rather startling admission that the Dem
ocrats of the First District needed ma
tional aid. He said they were sure
Reed would be defeated, if they could
have had aid and counsel from the ma
tional Democracy; but added: Posi-
bly, he will be, as it is; It looks more
like 1t now than at any time since the
campaign commenced" The New
York Illness Portland correspond
ent, on the same night, said: "Mr.
Reed is not the man whom the peo-
pie ofthis district would elect to Con-
gress if there should be an honest
election to morrow. 1t is to be fear
ed that he will buy votes enough to
get a plurality over the Democratic
candidate. Only the New York
SIN, which thinks more of being a
newspaper than of being an organ,
had the prescience to say: "The
canvass shows that Speaker Reed
will be returned by one OF the larg-
est pluralities he has ever received
since he was first elected to Congress
in 1876"
Mr.. Reeds plurality in that year
was ,o92. At his last election in 1888
it was 2,433. This year it is over
4. 900, and may reach 5000.

Population oioCcciE.

The Baltimore papers OF Wednesday
contained tabulated statement of the
census enumeration of the nine Eastern
Shore counties of Mary land, which
shows a total population of 2I2,S62, or
a net increase over the census of 1880,
OF $3.50. Six OF the counties show an
increase of population while Cecil,
Kent and Queen Anne's show a de-
crease, that OF Cecil being SO notice
able, viz, 1,296, that the Baltimore
american makes this comment on it
at is difficult for even the most san
gulne disposition to find much in the
figures that is cheerful. Some of the
facts are appalling, while others are
only curious. Thus, Cecil IS generally
considered one of the most progressive
and prosperous counties IN the state,
yet the population has fallen off by
1905, and Cecil today has less people
actually than twenty years ago. In 1870
her population was c5,S74, an increase
of 2.oI2 over the figures OF 1860; in
the following decade her population in
creased to 27,IoS, making an increase
of I,234, but now, instead Of even hold
ing her own, the county has fallen back
to 25,S12, or 62 less than she had IN
1870"
Assuming that the figures given by
the .4mcrIcaN are the correct returns
under the recent enumeration, we think
that cursory glance at the following
records must convince every one, that
one of two errors IN the census returns
for 1890 must exist, either an imperfect
enumeratIon-which we are loath to
believe-or a serious clerical error IN
the additions Of the returns of the dis
tricts of the county. In support OF this
belief, we submit the census returns
since 1860, and for purposes OF COM
panson the presidential vote of the
county for the same years.
