The course of Alexandria is up
ward and onward. No intelligent
stranger visits the place, looks around
him and informs himself of its advan-
tages and possibilities, but reaches the
conclusion that it is bound, by all the
laws of trade and commerce, to be-
cone a prosperous city. But, more
than all else, it is necessary that it
should be the seat of large manufac-
turing industry. Its present popula-
ton can very materially assist in the
accomplishment of this end by assist
ing, even to very limited extent,
those parties who desire to establish
small factories. This, with proper
discretion, could be done without risk
of loss; on the contrary, with all rea-
sonable assurance of reaping satisfac-
tory dividends. Every such industry
goes to the promotion of the general
welfare and is pledge CT the future
growth and prosperity of the town.
Even so small one as broom factory
would prove of some help, and the ne
cessary capital to estoblish it wonld
be comparatively trihing. A canning
establishment would, of course, cost
much more, but with ordinary fair
management would pay good divi-
dend to stockholders. A barrel fac
tory on large scale will be neces-
sity when the sugar refinery is built,
and it will be built, sooner or later.
Meantime, would it not be we'll for a
beginning to he made in that drec-
ton? An unlimited supply of the
best material is close at hand. And
there are many other small! industries
which should be iuaugurated. AS g
slight evidence of the advantages Of
manufactures to a place it may be
stated that the Alexandria Times
gives employment to three times as
many. persons as the most extensive
mercantile establishment in the town.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
What the Census Shows.

A Washington special to the Globe
Democrat says:
Ten Missouri counties, it appears from the
official count OF the late census, have lost in
population since 1854. Eight Cf the ten are
in that portion of the state lying north of the
Missouri river. Another notable conclusion
forced by the figures is that five sixths of the
5000 o population gained by Missouri in the
past ten years lies south OF the Missouri.
river In considerable part this is accouhtes
for by St Louis and Kansas City. But, leav
ing these two cities entirely out OF the calcu-
latiOn, it is found that Soutl Missouri's in
crease Is much more than double that OF
North Missouri. This will have an important
bearing on the reapportiOnmen.. The new
congressman allotted to Missouri will have,
to come from south of the river. Further
than this, it is shown that there is not now
population sufficient north OF the river to
make up the five districts represented by
Hatch, Mansur. Norton, DOckery and W ilson
North Missouri will have to yield one of her
present represention to South Missouri, un-
less the Legislature apportions so that two
or more of the districts shall straddle the
Missouri river. II is also notable that the
losses and smallest gains are uniformly in
the counties along the Missouri and Miss.s-
sippi rivers. except in the cases Of the cities
of st Louis, Kansas City and 81. Joseph

WASHINGTON, March S.-The weather

closed with a decided cold wave, pre-

backward condition of the crop it is
probable that no serious injury will re-
