FIGURES ON PAUPERS.
A Census Bulletin on the Depend
ent Poor,

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The census
Office has issued bulletin on the sub
ject of paupers in almshouses in 1890,
which shows total of 73,O45, as against
66,2O3 in 1880. These are divided
according to sex and color as follows:
Number of males, white, 97.3S7: number
of males. colored, 1854; number of fe-
males, white, &c, 1911; number of females.
colored, 3, liz. In the number of colOred
persons given above are included six
teen male and twenty female Indians
and twelve male and one female
Chinese.
The ratio of almshouse paupers to the
total population was to 75S. The pres
ent ratio is l to S57. This is very
marked relative decrease. The
almshouse system is not keeping
pace with the growth of the pop
ulation at large. The decline in the ratio
is due to the very much smaller num-
Der of paupers cared for IN almshouses
in the North Atlantic division, where
there has been not only relative,
but an absolute decrease in the
number. In respect to nativity,
not including the colored paupers,
who may all be supposed to be natives,
except the thirteen Chinese, of the $780,
SIS white paupers S36.656 are native
born, 27,64S fOreign-born, and the place
of birth of 2,274 is unknown.
The numerical order of the states ac-
cording to the number of paupers in
almshouses reported in each of them is
as follows: New York, 1922; Penn
sylvania, 1858; Ohio, 1900; Hi
nois. 1896; Massachusetts, 4,725;

THE CONSOLIDATION CUES
TION.

The animosities between st. Paul and
Minneapolis have always had more
reality abroad than at home, and the
Eastern press seems to be much more
agitated over the current scheme of
consolidation than those who are most
concerned by it. As the average day
runs, people in these two cities have
not reflected very seriously On their
rivalry, and the representative citizen
of either of them has attended to his
business without considering very often
the ultimate destiny of the municipality
in which he lived. The two places have
up to this point had very little to weld
them together except their proximity.
Minneapolis has been a manufacturing
center, with a population predominant
ingly of the New England type; and,
while il has suffered occasional lapses
from this ideal, it has been in general
a city of churches. of lecture lyceums,
of universities and blue laws. st. Paul
has been the seat of the great jobbing
trade and of the railroad interests of
the state, and peopled by cosmopOl-
itan race, somewhat Heterogeneous in
character, where let-alOne policy has
prevailed, and the tone of cOntentment
with the existing order of things which
characterizes men of the world. Stran
gers seeking an abiding place have
been attracted, some by one set Of
opportunities and some by another; but
side by side Minneapolis and st. Paul
have grown. with plenty of room for
both, each very good in its way and
each willing to let the other alone with
out criticism or comment.
In point of fact, the time is not really
ripe as yet for more than this. A single
city separated into two parts by great
stretch of many miles of unoccupied
country would be at once an anomaly
and nightmare. The day will surely
come when this will be changed, and
where now there are town lots better
adapted for farming than for residence
purposes there will be houses and
teeming population. AT this point the
consolidation problem will not be mid
summer fad, to be debated because there
are 10 other matters pressing, but
great and vital problem demanding
solution. To discuss it now is a good
thing, because it paves the way for
reader adjustment of the difficulties
when such adjustment is actually nee
essary. The trouble with many needed
improvements is that they are not re-
flected on until the eve of their consum-
nation, and are then only realized at
great expenditure and at a waste of
much which has been done already, and
which is made Yalueless by changed
conditions. The cities will naturally
grow together as a union in one system
of public works after another suggests
itself. A union in park building on the
BANKS OF the Mississippi, union in
bridge building across the river,
union and experimenting in water sup
ply and in the construction of sewers,
common pledging of credit for objects
of common advantage-all these things
will come in the course of years insensi-
bly, and naturally. When they do the
work of consolidation will follow as a
matter of course, not in response TO
newspaper agitation or resolutions of
chambers of commerce, but because
utility and the public welfare require it.

NOT LONG-LIVED.

Mention has been made of the fact
that HANILIN ended the list of living
eX-vice presidents. At recent casual
gathering, comprising about a dozen
lawyers and local statesmen, soon after
the death of the Maine man, the COM
ment was had that the vice president
cuts but small figure in his retired
niche, and the challenge was made to
any one in the company to name all the
vice presidents elected during the adult
life of the oldest of the gentlemen pres
ent This was found to go back to 1852.
Each wrote out list with more or less
blanks. Not one in the company sue
ceeded in the effort. Many names were
used of persons never candidates for
the office. No one remembered W. S.
KING. the mate with PIERCE in 1852.
or WHEELER in 1876. The list in
sequence would be KING, BRECKEN-
RIDGE. HAMLIN, JOHNSON, COLFAX.
WILSON, WHEELER, ARTHUR and HEN
BRICKS, all dead. One who could
name all the defeated candidates for
vice president, even of the two leading
parties, would be looked upon as a
walking encyclopaedia; but only two of
them are living, ENGLISH and THUR
MAN. BLAINE is the only survivor of
the candidates for president of the two
leading parties who was never elected.
GREELEY died in 1872. but the others
since the war all died within half
dozen years. But one survivor of the
LINCOLN cabinets is recalled-MCCUL-
LOUGH. Senators SHERMAN and Nor
RILL are becoming lonesome among the
political veterans in congress. Public
life is evidently not conducive to lon
gevity.

VAN ZANDT-MALATO.
The Proxy Wife ofSpies Is Welded
in Reality.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Miss Nina Van
Zandt was married this afternoon at the
residence of her parents, 22I Schiller
street. to SCR. Salvatore Stefano Malato,
of Palermo. Italy. Only few intimate
friends and relatives of the couple were
present at the ceremony. Last night
Miss Van Zandt. radiant and beautiful,
sat in the parlor of the home she is
about to leave, and for the first time
told the true but romantic story of her
love for August Spies, and of her
strange proxy marriage to the leader of
the Chicago anarchists, who with others
went to an ignomiuious death on the
gallows. This story was called out by
the published statement of Capt. Black,
principal counsel for Spies, denying
that he proposed the marriage scheme
in order to create sympathy for his
client Miss Van Zandt declares that
she was coerced by Capt. Black TO enact
the dramatic part she took in the anar
chist tragedy. She deeply regrets the
step she took, and says it was the folly
of an impressionable and sentimental
school girl overpersuaded by lawyer
with very glib tongue.

In the combat the troops of the
dictator fed. Our troops occupy the
whole province of Atacama. Our army
continues to accoutre with the arms re-

WHEELMEN MEET.
Opening of the Annual Bicycle
Races.

DETROIT, Mich. July 16.-The League
of American Wheelmen literally had
possession of the streets of this city to
day, it being estimated that there
were over 5000 wheelmen in
attendance. The racing began this
afternoon with the twenty-fve-mile race
from Pontiac to this city. The course
as laid out was one and half miles out
on a side road, and back, then straight
to Rockford. A better course or
better day could hardly have been asked
for. There was but little wind, and
that in the riders favor. The
race was easily won by B. J. Graham,
of Detroit, who came over the tape at
$40 D. N. n. H. Van Sicklen captured
sixth place and IL e time medal in
1:25:I1. This lowers the American
record of c. E. Cluge, New Rochelle,

Snancer La HOnefuI.

LONDON, July 16.-Earl Spencer,
formerly lord lieutenant of Ireland, de-
clares that the policy of the Liberals in
favor of home rule for Ireland is at
present stronger than ever. The
cry of the conservatives that home
rule is dead is utterly false.
1t was a living principle, and is as
popular in English constituencies now
as before disaster overlook the Parnell-
ties. He declared that home rule would
be the first proposal to be introduced in
the next liberal parliament.

DUBLIN, July 16.-Outrages on the
boycotted tenants in and near Upper
airy, who refused to join the plan of
campaign and defed its promoters, still
continue, in spite of the efforts of the
constables to suppress them and appre
bend the miscreants, whose acts are in
