The director of she mint has been
considering the question Of changing
the design an the silver dollars Isn't
it rather late to take up that question:
Only a few days ago Director Lessh
himself said that after July next hs
probably meant to say Junel it was
probable that no more silver dOllsse
would be- caAnsd. The la2E,dOss not re-
quire it. I3y the end Of June we viii
have about. 400, ,OOO, 600 silver dollars,
or about atty times as many as wsrs
coined, all, told, in eighty-one years
after the establishment of the mint.
We have in the treasury 900, 600 more
than enough to- redeem all the out
standing silver certificates. by the
end Of June we vzill have over p, 900, :
OOO OF those dollars coined under the
new law to hold against the new treas
ury notes. That is enough to last for
some years.
Since, then, tbs coinage of dollars
is to be stopped, and since there is no
reason why it should be resumed for "a
long time, what is the use of changing

entire 400, 600, 900? If not, there will

Henry Gannett, geographer of the
department, has compiled, and
the census bureau has issued, . map
of the United States, printed in colOrs

OF loss in population during the census /
decade recently ended. Upon a glance
at this admirable map one may per-
ceive and easily impress upon the
memory what could not so well be
learned by a careful comparative study
of columnA of condensed statistics.
What at first strikes the observer
who has not made census figures a
special study is the fact the upper val
ley of the Mississippi river andjthe en-
tire Ohio, river valley region contain
large arems in which there has bean an
absolute decrease of population since
1880. Minnesota, Iowa. Wisconsin,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky
are covered with yellow splOtches
which indicate falling off. The east
ern shore Of Virginia and Maryland,
central New York, the east bank of
the Hudson. nearly all of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont and the ocean coast
of Maine are notable additions to the
sections wherein losses have taken
place. The south is sprinkled with
counties which have retrOgraded

in Kansas has gone back. Florida,

rada and the great northwest exhibit
gains of more than one hundred per
cent, while southwest MISSOURI, east
egn Kansas and all of Arkansas indi-
cate a general growth ranging from
twenty-five 10 one hundred per cent.
In those eastern communities wherein
tile growth of the decade has been
more than one hundred per cent some
large city invariably forms its center.

however no large contiguous areas

KEAN'S BANK.
The DepOsitOrS May Receive Fifty Cents on
the Dollar.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-This evening Attorney
Mayer, representing the creditors of S. A
Kean, received a surprising offer from the
assignees of the insolvent banking firm.
The offer was that the creditors be paid 50
cents in cash by February 1st, and 10 cents
later, making the settlement, aside from the
secured claims, so cents on the dollar. The
offer is made on condition that Mayer
agrees to drop all legal proceedings. He will
accept the offer, although he cannot say
anything about the criminal proceedings. as
he has no interest in them. Mayer said he
would not undertake to say how the as
signees could paid 50 cents, when by their
statements they had declared that not more
than per cent could be realized at once.
lie left the impression, however, that Kean's
friends have come to his rescue. Kean's
liabilities are approximately Sl,5OO,0O0, of
which three-fifths are secured.

CaRada'S Attempt to Establish Reciprocity
With the West Indies.

CHICAGO Jan. 2.--The News Ottawa
special says Minister of Finance Foster
is expected back from the West Indies Soon
The Government has been constantly ad-
vlsed by him OF the progress he has made in
his negotiations for reciprocal trade, but it
cannot be said that he brings back any def
lnite promises The proposal he made to
the different West Indian Governments
was: Canada will give you a differential
duty on sugars and fruits that will secure
Your fruits and sugars a monopoly in the
Canadian markets. In return you must
give TO Canada diffeTential duty upon the
staple products of the Dominion that will
give US an advantage in your markets."
The Canadian part of the bargain will take
iheEform of a rebate of SIS 80 a ton on West
lndlan-grown sugar. Reciprocal action on
the part of the West Indies will be required
to be of such nature as to put aside Uni
ted States fish and flour, giving the Cana
dian product preference. Should reciprocity
be brought about for Canadl it will mean
the falling off in customs receipts in the one
item of sugar alone of S10O0,O00. Further,
the Dominion Government proposes TO grant
subsidies to three lines of steamships for
period of five years to run from Canadian
ports to all the West India islands,. the cost
of these services being figured at S500O0O
In the event of all the West India islands
falling into line on this matter, the Cana
dian Government will have thorny path
to travel before the desired end is achieved.
Two obstacles stand in the way; one impe-
rial, the other domestic. The domestic diff
hculty lies with the refining interests, a
wealthy and influential body in Canada.
The difficulty of the imperial character has
reference TO ''the most favored nation
clause in treaties between Great Britain and
Germany and Great Britain and Belgium.
