WANTED A RECOUNT.
And Got ft--Ths shape II Leaves st. Lonls
In.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--The official
population Of St Louis is 451, ITO. These
ire the figures announced by the census
,fice to-day as the result of the final
Ind official count Of the city by wards.
This is @ decrease of nearly 10000 as
compared with the revised figures given
but on the 30th Of last August, after the
recount had been finished. The first
count, it will be remembered, was COM
pleted on July z, the figures showing a
population Of AS, 1874. A great complaint
ut once arose to the effect that the
figures were too low, and that a
grave injustice had been done the
city by the census takers. The police
were put to work on a recount and cit
liens committee was appointed to CO.
operate. On their showing of many
names omitted by the government emu
merators revision was finally ordered,
and the police lists and the citizens lists
were forwarded to Washington and COM
pared. BY this revision 1928 names
were added to the first total. OF these
names 1862 were obtained from the
police lists. The error now discovered,
1t appears, was not made In the recount
or revision, but before it was ordered.
o recount an extra force was put to work
here getting out the schedules. In the
hurry and rush ten enumerators' dis
tricts were duplicated. This fact Is ex-
planned In the following statement fur
nished by the census Office:
The change In the population of st. Louis
Is due to the fact that In the haste with
which the figures for the city were first COM
DiInd. nnn61np a 6QcfSfNn N nd tn The
Remuneration of the city, the totals for
several enumeration districts were dupli-
Gated In making up the city total. Also
some minor changes have been made. due
to the work OF final revision which has been
In process for some time. The figures as
announced by the census Office as the result
Of the first, or rough count, were given out
with the understanding that they were sub
1ect to change in the work of final revision.
In spite of the fact that large and mex
perienced force was put upon a work Of
such intricate character, as was necessarily
the case, the completed work of final re-
vision for the entire United States has de-
veloped but one or two errors, which were
also due to conditions similar to those oc-
casloning the errors In the compilation of
the returns for st. Louis. Every possible
check has been put upon the work OF the
census Office to prevent errors Of this kind,
but In spite Of the closest supervision an oc-
casional error occurred in the first count.
only to be discovered and corrected, as they
should, In the work of final and careful re-
vision Of the figures prior to the official an
nouncement."
The correction fails to change the rank
Of st. Louis with relation to the other
large cities OF the country. 1t is still
fifth in population, Boston ranking sixth
with 446, 507.

UNION STOCK YARDS, SIOUX CITY, Feb. 81.
Probably to-day will prove the most un-
satisfactory market of the week. Unequal
ity was very fair, with Q larger representa-
ton OF good hogs than yesterday showed.
But 1t was mean, jerky affair
all day. Steady to strong bids
were offered at the opening, but
sellers, thinking Chicago advices would
bear them out, fatty refused to let go and
held out to gain their ends. Chicago re-
ports, however, strengthened the buyers in
their position, and there was an unsatisfac-
tory, spasmodic loosening -of-holds all
around. Any attempts on the part Of SELL
srs to bull the market fell fat, all the sub
sequent sales showing weakness from the
very first, and in several instances q
pronounced nickel decline, The common
stuff sold about steady. packers seeming
partial to that class, and gave up more
willingly. Four loads Of prime hogs sold

Home Traia First.

The trifling character Of our foreign,
compared with our domestic, trade may
be gathered from o few figures. The
Bureau of Statistics estimates the total
production Of the United States in 1880
as worth $4,000, 900. or $500 per capita
of the population. and that OF this $500
the value exported was SIT. or SO per
cent, the value consumed at home, $183,
or 91h per cent. Is 1t worth while to
trouble ourselves about such foreign
trade" when our home trade offers to
our farmers, manufacturers and mer-
chants the richest market in the world2

have been reduced by the Mckinley law

have been reduced by the Mckinley law
to a point where no more can be spared
without mourning the danger of de-
ficit How, then, are further reductions
to be made? Does tariff reform, from
the Democratic point of view, imply that
some of these duties should be reim-
posed, and others diminished or abol-
ished? There was time when the
tariff brought us large annual surplus,
but there is not likely to be any surplus
in the next two years. 1t is all very well
to proclaim that reform Is good thing,
and that we ought to have as much Of it
as we can get; but reform is term that
may easily be made to conceal rather
than to express thought. Mr.. Cleve-
lands latest speech is striking illustra-
tion of this fact. 1t does not contain a
single coherent and definite statement
with regard to the policy that is to be
pursued by his party. A great victory has
been won for tariff reform, he declares,
but he does not say how the fruits of
that victory are to be applied and Sc
cured. The Mills bill was the Demo
cratic platform in 1883, but 1t can not
be made the Democratic platform In
1892. We are facing q new situation.
The legislation OF the last session of
Congress has created set OF facts that
differs absolutely from that which pre-
vailed when Harrison was elected; and
yet MIR. Cleveland talks as If no change
had ensued. 1t is folly for him to say
that the problem remains as it was
when he wrote his celebrated and fatal
message. The question is: What does
the Democratic party intend to do under
the new conditions that have interviewed?
In other words, what does tariff reform
mean at the present time? This is the
point of real Importance, and Mr.. Cleve-
land, in common with all the other
Democratic leaders, carefully evades the
task of furnishing plain and satisfac-
tory defnition.-St Louis Globe DEM

window Glass to Be Surrounded by Pur-
chase of the Entire Output.


FINDLAY, o, Feb. 21.-When the win
dow glass trust went to pieces few
weeks ago in Chicago because Of the
difficulty which everywhere beset its
path the big Pittsburg firms OF once be-
gan cutting prices in the hope of dam
aging their smaller and weaker Compel
tors. Now the same manufacturers
have adopted a new course, having run the
price of glass down as low as they could
safely venture. They are endeayoring
to buy up the output of all the western
manufacturers and thus gain control OF
the market. Representatives Of the
Pittsburg factories are now travelling
thorough the west endeavoring to con-
tract at the prevailing prices for the en-.
tire output of the smaller glass factories
Of Ohio and Indiana. 1t will take a
mint of money to carry this plan through
successfully, but it is believed it can be
done. Some of the Findlay factories
have been induced to find an easy mar
ket for their product in this way, but
there are others that will not be caught.

Mitchell himself went down under like

The Carolina Rice Crop.s

The Charleston News and Courier has
the following gloomy article on the rice
crop:
Heavy rains commenced about ten days
ago, and have been almost continuous ever
since, producing the highest freshets known
in years i'll the Edisto, Ashepon, Combahee
and Coosawhatchie rivers. All the upper
plantations on these rivers are submerged,
and will sustain heavy loss both i'll the
quantity and quality Of the rice produced.
All the young rice overfowed will be de-
stroyed, and all of that older rice which is
ready to cut and overlooked will sprout and
be total loss unless the water recedes at
once The only thing that has saved the
lower plantations has been the westerly
winds, which have driven of the tides and
taken off a great deal of the fresher water.
If the winds had been easteriy and the
tides been driven in, the loss would have
been very great If the rain stops in few
days the damage Will not be as serious as
was expected, but what has already hap
pened will affect the crop materially, both
in quality and quantity. AL of the rice
crops on inland plantations which were
supplied by reserves are very seriously
damaged. Fortunately but very few plant
ers have commenced cutting, or the losses
would have been much heavier. The same
floods three weeks later in the season
would have imperiled the entire rice crop
liz this section.

TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS.

The Palestine mining and petroleum com
pany was organized in 1857. They made
tests in six wells and found petroleum, lu-
bricating oil, aSphaltun and other min
erals. On Monday night, September :,
the association met for the election of Of
tcers and other business. \ majority of
the stock being represented, officers were
elected for the next ensuing year to-wit:
r. #. Gammage, president; George A.
Wright vice-president; J. W. Ozment,
treasurer; W. p. McAIeans, secretary;
board Of directors. T I. Gammage presi-
dent; George a. Wright, p. ". Eel, G.

On Wednesday afternoon the board of
directors contracted with Louis \. Beau

applying asphaltum for pavements, sewer
age, roofing, etc, and will at once COM
mence TO operate in Texas and six other
Southern states.
The association believes that there is an
inexhaustible supply of the material. and
that it has a positive commercial value. and
will prove TO be very valuable not only TO
themselves but 10 the public. The mines
are situated about ten miles east OF Pales-
tine, on the line surveyed for the proposed
railroad from Rusk and New Birmingham
