Details Of the census returns are still very
meager. but enough is known to justify the
statement that the 30 per cent Increase in
the population as whole is based largely
upon the growth of population in the
southern and western states. principally
Georgia, Texas. Arkansas, Alabama, Ten
nessee, Washington. Oregon, Mon
tana, Minnesota. Michigan, the
Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska. and Colo
RADIO. Some of the eastern states, for H.
stance, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hamp-
shire. and, probably, Maine, will fall below
the ratio of increase. The centre of popu-
latlo1, which in 1850 was in Covington,
Ky, has moved westward in a direct line,
and is this year short distance southeast
of Indianapolis.
The Increase in the population naturally
plays an important part in congressional rep
resentation, which will be apportioned on
the basis of the ce1sns returns. As result
Of the enumeration in 1880 the number Of
representatives in congress was increased
from 293 to 325. Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont lost one member each,
and the southern states gained fifteen, the
western states eighteen, anu tue easier II
states two. In 1888 the presidential electors
from these sections were about equally
divided in the electoral college between re-
publicans and democrats. This year, as
stated, the gains will again be in
the west and the south, but il is impossible
at this time to determine how the presi-
Dental electors from those sections will be
divided with respect to the two great par
ties in 1892. There has been a marked
increase of the democratic vote in the west,
however, and the majority Of those who
have settled in that section recently are
laborers and mechanics, and the presump-
ton therefore is that they are democrats.
Then, too, there is growing disaffection
among republicans everywhere, but to
offset probable losses on this account the
party in congress is creating new republi-
can states If the present basis of appor-
tionment of congressional districts should
be retained the eastern states would lose
somewhat, the Central or Middle Atlantic
states would probably hold their own, and
the gains would be entirely in the west aud
south, so that the outlook is very encourage
ing for the democracy.

A Question Of Precedence.

An effort is being made by some Of the
republican leaders in congress to have the
Senate lay aside the Mckinley tariff bill for
the present and take up the infamous fed
eral election bill at once. Those who are
urging this course are afraid that IL the
tariff bill is taken up the debate upon 1t
will occupy so much of the Senate's time
that there will be no opportunity for con-
sidering the election bill this session.
The debate on the tariff bill is pretty
certain to last several weeks. The
Senate finance committee has
changed the bill IN a great many
more or less opposition even from republican
senators. The democrats, Of course, object
TO the whole bill, and if those of them who
purpose to discuss it carry out their inten-
ton a vote upon 1T will not be reached be-
fore the middle Of August, if so soon. 1t is
apparent therefore, that if it is taken up
in its regular order the prospsc: OF passing
the election bill in time to enforce it at the
fall elections will not be very promising.
Mr. Mckinley, of course, wants his tariff
bill TO be taken up first. He knows that if
it is not passed at this session the chances of
its passing at all will be greatly decreased.
The more it is discussed the stronger the
opposition TO it becomes. 1t is already be-
ing discussed in the congressional cam
paigns. and the republicans do not appear
to be at all enthusiastic with re-
spect to it, Indeed, a good many
influential republicans are Of the opinion
that their party will be better
off if it is never passed. The desire Of those
Of the republican leaders, therefore, who
are anxious to have the election bill passed
as soon as possible, together with the oppo-
sition of those Of the republican leaders who
do not favor the tariff bill may have the eff
feet of influencing the Senate to give the
election bill precedence. Within few days,
probably, the question whether or not the
election bill shall have precedence will be
eatflaH

Euro pes Little War Cloud

Our dispatches yesterday indicated
trouble in the Balkans The war cloud
which has been lowering over Europe so
long is assuming a more threatening ap-
pearance. Russia has been preparing to
send her Black sea fleet into Turk
ish waters for the purpose of
enforcing her recent demand for the prompt
payment either in cash or in territory of the
1877 war indemnity, amounting to $780,
100000, which the porte still owes her.
Greece and Servia have also presented
ultimatums TO the porte, and the sultan is
between three fires, but the car probably
is the cause Of the attitude of Greece and
Servia.
Only recently he presented five batteries
of Krupp guns and 100000 rifles to Servia,
and Furthermore, finding that the excheq-
uer Of the Belgrade regency was empty he
secured a loan of 100000 from the
Hoskier syndicate in its favor.
Turkey is hemmed in by troubles, and she
has relentless creditor in Russia, so hated
by the Mahometans. The sultan has no
money, and his credit is bad. He cannot
raise the Russian indemnity money, and
the powers will probably advise the
sultan to make some compromise to
prevent war; which would, no doubt result
again in victory for Russia, the probable
gain Of large territory and Russian supre-
macy over Turkish borders, which the
powers wish to prevent.
Besides the war debt there is another
question to be settled. There have been
serious ARRAYS at Erzeroum between the
Armenian and the Mussulman inhabitants.
The latter are mostly ex-solders of the
car who have settled near Erzeroum, but,
being followers of the Prophet, the sultan
could not exclude them. These I'M
welcome guests are continually attacking
the Armenians, who are christians Russia,
which claims sort ofspiritual protectorate
over the sultan's christian subjects
threatens to intervene in their behalf as she
did under similar circumstances in Bulgaria
in 1877. 1t will not be surprising, therefore,
to hear at any time that war has begun, for
the Russians are actively preparing for it,
and apparently mean business.
