The Census Put to Shame by Worlds Fair
Closing Petitions.
CHICAGO, May A-The people who are try

have made sad mess of it.
They turned in petitions from the States
Of Michigan and Ohio to-day, and in both
cases the number of names Is several hun
dred thousand more than the last United
States census of the States. On the Michi-
gan petition the number of names is s0O, 900
greater than the census returns.

fit at the Alvin Theater, was unable to take
her solo, Lift Up Thy Soul From Out the

Producing in addition to this a second song,

A GLANCE OF EASE.

BY nominating Cleveland the Democrats
change their base Of action from New York
to the Central West. They are figuring
now On carrying Illinois, Indiana and Iowa
in place Of New York. The three States
have q total Of % votes. If the - votes OF
Iowa are lost The other two Will cast 80
votes. three ID excess Of the vote of New
York. There viii be some gain to the
country in taking the balance Of power
from New York. So long as the politicians
Of that State are able TO say that the vote
Of New York is essential to Democratic sue
cess candidates and platform will be consid-
cred with especial reference to the supposed
wishes Of New York. This deprives a ma
tional convention largely Of its national
character. a national convention meets to
second the will OF a single State. Demo
Gratis in other States feel that they are Of
secondary importance. One State has die
tated the platform and named the candl-
dates. All the other Democrats have simply
stipulated, Give us a candidate who can
carry New York" New York has been led
10 its Waterloo by one Of its own citizens
ana against one Of its own citizens. In fact,
no man net a resident of New York has for
years been considered in a Democratic con-
venton Presidential possibility.
There are obvious reasons why the Demo-
Gratis Of the Central West did not strike for
independence Of New ork dictation under
the leadership Of one Of their own citizens.
Dlr. Cleveland, while not the sblest man in
the party. has. through his New York resi-
deuce, fixed himself in the public mind as
the logical candidate. To have taken up
Palmer. Campbell, Boies or other fayorits
sons would have been a sacrifice Of certain
elements Of strength which Mr. Cleveland
possessed. While these elements are being
retained by the nomination Of Cleveland
the influences that have been promoting his
interests now admit the necessity of COM
binatioD, which will enable them to do
without New York. The sop thrown to the
Central West IS the Presidency. Gray
Of Indiana and Boies Of Iowa are each ex-
pecied to bring over his own State. There
is some more recent talk of Stevenson Of
Illinois to pilot that State into the Demo-
cratic fold. But it does not yet appear that
the Indiana man has special strength in
Illinois or Iowa, or that the Illinois man or
the Iowa man can exercise much influence
over any other State than his own.

TARIFF REFORM.

In McKinley'5 speech on taking the chair
Of the Republican convention he said that
he did not know what tariff reform is The
Dir. Wilson, who presided over the Demo
cratic convention, referred to this admission
Of Mr.. Mckinley 10 terms intended TO be
derlslYe. Let us hope" said Mr.. Wilson,
with that charity that believeth and en-
dureth all things, that be (McKinley) is as
truly ignorant as he admits himself to be-"
Mr.. Wilson neglected a good opportunity to
distinguish himself by informing the audi
ence what tariff reform is. No one but
professional tariff-reformer seems to know.
One Democratic Congress, bent upon re-
forming the tariff. made horizontal redue-
ton. another brought in a bill based on the
tariff for revenue principle. The present
Congress las been content with taking the
duties from certain raw materials, leaving
fin ished goods protected. All these pro-
posed changes were considered under the
general name Of tariff reform. Mckinley
was therefore in the condition of most other
people when he said that he did not know
what tariff reform means. Apparently it
means what the individual reformer thinks
it ought to-mean.

new broom in order to admit English manu-
features on a flowing tide. The English
have never forgiven the passage OF the Nc
Kinley bill, and have never quite under
stood the object of the measure. 1t does
not appear to be clear to them that this
bill has enabled the American manufacturer
to begin Industries which before IFS passage
were hopelessly handicapped. The country
is therefore retaining good grasp Of its
own interior trade, and by and by we may
hope to see our foreign trads also triumph
ant For the present we may content our
selves with the many strides of progress
evident under a tariff which strengthens
home industries.
An effort is about to be made to establis b
beyond controversy the height of Mount st.
Elias in Alaska. This peak, in the re-
mote north. has been generally supposed to
be the highest on the North American CON
tinent. but the measurements are unfortu-
nately SO inaccurate that they range any
where between 200 and 10000. A mile
Hnd half Of variance In altitude is a great
deal too much of doubt for the scientific
spirit. and an effort is now being made 10
find out the height to an inch. The noun
tain is always covered with snow and gen.
orally has cloud obscuring its summit but
the accuracy of modern scientific iustru-
ments is such that with care the problem
should be solved for all time. Failing
Mount st. Elias as the highest peak in the
United States, California has the credit of
having one of its Sierra peaks few hundred
feet higher than any other summit in Uncle
Sans dominion.
Mr.. Gladstone has been at work endeay-

The breach, so unfortunate in many respects,
will continue TO exist. The constituencies

tho greater number of the Irish members

of the Irish vote. Undoubtedly he would be

A FLOP.

Our Chicago correspondent records the
conversion Of Henry WattersOn to the be-
lief that Cleveland, if nominated, may be
elected. The conversion was effected under
the ministration of ex-Secretary Whitney,
who has had considerable luck in that line
since he appeared in Chicago. No one seems
TO know the exact nature of the arguments
Mr.. Whitney brought to bear upon the Ken
lucky editor. Mr.. Whitney is persuasive
sort of man and one wise enough to keep
his own counsel Wien the convention ad-

and to cut down the current rate. The
inpOur of these Asiatics Is only a trife less
diSagreeable and menacng than that OF
Chinese Unlike the Chinamsn, the jar
anese is not indisp0sed to cOmport himself
as far as possible in the American manner
by wearing clothes of ordinary cuts and
displaying shirts, ties and hats of the usual
fashion. Nor is the Japanese quite so
numerous as the Monaghan horde But
moderate as Is the population of Japan that
country could easily afford to supply us
with three or four millions Of population,
and it is evident that any hving of the
Japanese to this extent would seriously dis
turb the industrial conditions of the United

against an immigration not eOnsonant with
the policy of unity of race which has been
blocked out for us under the American con-

This is the time Of year to go to Norway.
and also quite as suitable a season for
Alaska. AS the voyager goes north night
becomes day. and the sun at midnight is a
spectacle to be jotted down in notebooks
and preserved in Renaissance. Something
might be done TO render the Alaska trip at
traetive for Eastern tourists, too prone in the
hot weather to rush off TO Europe and there
leave many millions OF dollars to fructify
for the benefit of countries that did not pro-
duce the money. The Alaska trip is in
many resTects quite as attractive as vow
aGe through the sinuoSities of the Norway
h0rds. 1t may be said that Puget Sound
suTpasses much that can be seen in the wild
scenery Of Northern Europe. The pines Of
that region cannot be matched any where In
the world. The time will come when these
natural scenic advantages will be fully
availed OF by tourists, who now rush TO
Europe in quest Of excitement
1t is estimated that this year 10000 Amer
leans are to pass weeks or months in
Europe. This. we presume, is in addition
to the large number OF Americans who are
habitual residents of European countries
and who live abroad for the sake of being
at home. The reduction of European travel
lies good deal in the chespness of things,
over which an American glOats when he
gets across The Atlantic. A summer spent
in Paris or London may cost a good deal
less than short season at Saratoga or the
Adlrondacks, and 1t is notorious that

after all his own land is the best on earth.
