Census years.

III 1880 only seven OF every 100 per
sons lived in town, but in 1890 twenty
eight of every 100 live in cities. Our
city population is now. in proportion to
the country. twice as great as it was in
1880.
Such conditions are not encOtra oinC
and it is plainly the duty Of the gov
eminent to do everything in it's power
to promote the interests of agriculture
and make life moro attractive in the
farming districts. There can he no per
manent prosperity so long as p0pula-
ton remains so uneQually distributed
But it will tax the ingenuity Of our
WiscSt statesmen to devise methods that
will turn back the rushing tiAl~ from the
cities TO the country. Within the past
twelve months our farmers have lost
S312,OOo, 600 by the Shrinkagc Of values.
Many of them do not consider the fact
that this Shrinkagc affects city people,
too. They simply figure up their own
losses and then III disgust abandon
their farms and move to town. Before
they are much older they Will learn that
the fatal single gold standard will smash

A Startling Report.

~ idtssfSAlu% report.
The report of Special Examiner Chal-
mers, of the department of Justice,
which, by the way, is published ex-
clusiyely by The Constitution, has
created a sensation.
In this report M Chalmers makes it
plain that some of the federal officials
In Alabama have prostituted their po-
sitions, and have oppressed the people,
imprisoning hundreds of innocent men,
and manufacturing fraudulent fee and
expense accounts to the extent of at least
$4,000 year. Names have been forged
in expense accounts and money has been
poured out like water to pay bogus wit
ness fees But this is not all The snnc-
ial examiner intimates that similar out
RACES are probably occurring in every
state in the union.
Mr.. Chalmers recommends a change
in the mode of appointing United
States commissioners. He would have
them appointed by the president, and
suggests that they should be lawyers of
good standing. The fee system should
be abolished and the officials should be
paid fixed salaries. A further investiga-
ton is recommended with view to pun
ishing the persons who have been guilty
of these frauds and acts of oppression.
The department of justice is moving
In the right direction, but it would be
well to have Il special congressional COM
mittee look into the matter and go to
the bottom of it. The methods of the
federal commissioners and deputy mar
shalS should be investigated in every
state, and no guilty man should be al
lowed to escape.
1t is safe to say that much of this
alleged corruption and oppression is
due to republican administration and to

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

A Florida jury has come to the conclusion
that Corbett and Mitchell did not tight by
appointment" 1t probably considers their
meeting striking coincidence.
Though Stonewal Jackson was a man of
deep religious feeling he invariably fell
csleep when i'll church. He was a dyspeptic
in his youth, and for a year lived on stale
bread and buttermik.
Vermont and New Hampshire grow more
slowly than any other states in the union,
and the former seems, as nearly as may be,
a finished and fenced-in community. Old as
the state is, one county has less than 1900
inhabitants and another less than 10000.
Villages in both states are drained OF their
young men. who go to Boston or New York
in search of careers not to be found at
home.

The Record of a Days Mail.

orally may be depressed, as compared
with the usual order of things, but 1t IS
interesting to note that The Weekly
Constitution is engaged ut the present
time in the most interesting task of beat
Ing its own marvellous record.
Through all the dull days of the past
six months The Weekly Constitution
has gone right on. as if nothing was
wrong with the balance wheel OF Dusi-
ness generally. and from Maine to Cali
fornia. from the lakes to the gulf, nun
dreds of subscribers TO the greatest OF
oil American weekly newspapers, have
dropped right in, day after day, smooth
ing the wrinkles of hard times and keep
Ing things cheerful in spite of dullness.
1t broke the record last week, and the
messenger who performs the somewhat
: perfunctory task of moving backward
and forward between The Constitution
office and the postofice for the mails,
found it necessary last week to double
his pace and strengthen his lift TO de-
post the transfer which is the object
of his constant oscillation over the For
syth street bridge.
The mail for The Weekly Constitution
for one morning last week brought over one
thousand letters and contained the
names of 1.7Si subscribers, from thirty
three states Of the union, distributed as
follows:
The New. England states. e. =. =. 1ol
The Middle states. ~
The Southern states. -. 1,0Sl
The Pacific states. JOB
Total. -. 80. l''Sl
There is but one days record in the
history of The Weekly Constitution that
beats this. and that was in the wonder
fully prosperous December of 1889.
when. by special effort, at which The
Constitution worked for several days
in advance. one days mail brought two
thousand subscribers. the reachin; Of
this number in days mail being the
special notch in view.
This days mail came, however, in
the usual way. There was no preDara-
ton or special effort. no unusual drum
ming. It simply came in the usual rou-
tine of every day mail. and it demon
strates conclusiynjy two things:
/. That, outstanding hard times,
the people are more than satisfied with
The Constitution.
>. That from all parts Of the country
The Constitution has the overwhelming
sentiment of approval of the people in
its efforts in behalf of the redemption
Of every pledge of the party's platform.
Even if the rate of circulation reached
in this days mail be reduced 80 per
cent a day for the remainder Of the
month. the number of subscribers re-
ceived during the month of March, for
The Weekly Constitution, will be more
than twenty-five thousand.
Is il surprising. therefore, that the cir
culation Of The Weekly Constitution is
more than 15G,000-the most extensive
of any weekly newspaper published in
the western hemisphere?
