MORE DEATHS THAN EiRTHS.



Statistics are very dull. and dizziness
is a thing to be Stunned by all we'll
regulated persons, says a writer IN
the Philadelphia Telegraph, but an
article has just appeared in the Jour
nal Offieiel which is not quite uninter-
estine to France and the French.
During the year 1892 the deaths in
France exceeded the births by over
twenty thousand. Hitherto the popula-
ton had been about stationary, but this
national deficit is serious. The French,
from the highest to the lowest, do not
care for large families, alleging, justly
enough, that children are expensive
articles. Did not a cook the other day
Law her woes over the death of her first
born open to her sympathizing mis-
tess? THAT baby cost me first and
last not less than three hundred dol
lars quoth the bereaved mother,
''aud after all that expense it only
lived three weeksr' The birth-rate is
about as usual in France, at the ratio
of twenty-five births for every thou
sand inhabitants but the increase in
mortality is frightful, and is attrib-
uted by the medical authorities en-
tircly to grippe, which they state has
made more victims than the great
cholera epidemics ever killed in one
year. 1t is also solemnly set forth
that the children who were born at
the time of the war of 1870 are adding
to the mortality by expiring now; but
rs these great medical lights state that
the children born during the siege
generally died in their infancy. owing
to their priyations, it is difficult to see
why the mortality among the war
babies,n as they were called, should
have ceased for twenty whole years to
spring up again suddenly. However
there is the unpleasant fact that the
population of France, if something is
not done, will speedily resemble, IL
this large and pleasant land. the rela
tive proportions preserved by single
huclsleberry sailing gravely in a very
large bowl of milk.

Montana is fortunate In having, in spite
of her youth citizen of national reputa-

Mr.. Thomas H. Carter, the Republican Ma
tional Chairman, will be man of strength

No doubt his vote and speech ON tho silver

uents. The Montana Republicans in ehoos-
ing Mr.. Carter for Senator have done well
for for the general interests
of the Rocky mountain States.
Such Senators as Thomas II. Car

more attention, more influence and
accomplish more for free coinage

mongrels that could be crowded to-
gether. Being of the dominant par

DEVELOPMENT OF GAS.
The Centenary of Its Discovery in Corn
wall Being Celebrated This Year.

The Centenary of Its Discovery in Corn
wall Being Celebrated This Year.
Among the many anniversaries which
are being celebrated this year is the
centenary of the invention of gas as an
illuminant 1t was in 1902 that Will
liam Murdoch first lighted up his
humble home at Redruth, in duchy
of Cornwall, by means of coal gas
made in an iron kettle, into which he
inserted a rough iron tube. 1t was not
until six years later that the invention
was developed on a large scale, when
Murdoch was employed to establish a
gas lighting apparatus at the great
Soho foundry ut Birmingham. In 1903
the Lyceum theater in London was first
lighted by gas, and in 1916 the gas
lamps which had been used to illumi-
nate Piccadilly since 1907 became COM
mon throughout London. 1t was at
this time, too, that David Melville, of
Newport, II. l., first adapted gas, for
the manufacture of which he had Sc
cured n patent in 1906, to the Beaver
Tail lighthouse, and it has since be-
come one of the principal illuminants
used in those watch towers which, in
imitation of the ancient Pharos, are
now scattered all over the globe for
the guidance and protection of ships
and mariners.
1t is doubtful, in the opinion of the
New York Tribune, whether hundred
years hence, on the occasion of the BIZ
centenary of the invention of gas, the
latter will still retain the commanding
position which it now occupies as an IL
luminant. On every side signs increase
which presage that the age of electric
ity is at hand--that age which is
far more likely to revolutionize the civ
ilization of the world than any of its
predecessors. Gas will probably be
gradually forced into back seat, and
its use confined to stoves and fireplaces.
which find such favor among the small
households of crowded cities. 1t will
be entitled, however, to the grateful
remembrance of man as a powerful
factor in the development of his civili-
zation and progress during the past
years.

A spEeIoUs lot of politicians are
striving with renewed energy to or
ganize National Silver Party, with
Free Coinage as its shibboleth. We
say with renewed energy, for that
is the truth. The silver question will
thus continue to a football to be
tossed and kicked about by schemers
for political purposes Such dema-
gogic blatherskites are not slow at
seeing the source of their positions
and self-aggrandizement.
They know that the coinage ques-
ton was never party issue; they
also know that the great political
parties are divided on the PROPOSE
ton, and that currency legislation is
demanded to relieve existing distress.
They are aware that the prospect for
free coinage is becoming brighter and
it is only matter of short duration
when it shall be the law of the land.
They note, with certainty, the radi-
cal change of opinion OF such leading
Republicans as Don Cameron, Lodge,
Reed and others, also such leading
Democrats as Hill, Sibly and others
and they fear as Francis G. New
lands said in speech delivered here
during the last campaign, that "*e
shall get free coinage from either
one of the old parties or perhaps
from a combination of both and the
silver party leaders will thus be out
OF a job and out of Office.
This same gang also knew that the
Populist party were not end are not
sincerely for free coinage. That the
Populist party is an out and out rag
money, paper money, free trade
crowd, with an interminable mess OF
isms aud rubbish for its party prin-
ciples; and that it's general success
was absolutely impossible except to
defeat Harrison, who it was, and IS
believed might do something for sill
yer if given a chance; and to elect
the Stuffed Prophet, who was known
to be an avowed enemy OF silver, ano
to hoodwink the people of a few states
counties and localities whose minds
were already dissatisfied, distracted
and easily humbugged by existing
hard times and want
A few designing men, possessing,
as the scheming politician always
does, this knowledge, being DESTROYS

the plan and made it work.

Elections for delegates to the conven-
ton which is to ssrevise the constitution
of South Carolina are snow being held,
but though the questions at issue are of
vital Importance to the State the vote
cast is very small, both blacks and whites
apparently being very Indifferent. The
explanation probably is that the voters
of South Carolina have learned from long
experience that it is of very little use to
vote, inasmuch as there is no guarantee
that the vote will be counted as cast.
Tillman is in control of the election
machin cry, and everybody knows that no
matter what goes into the box, what will
come out of it will be maiorities for
enough Of his delegates to enable him to
control the convention For the sake of
appearances he may allow an occasional
delegate of the opposition to be returned,
but his friends will be in sufficient num-
bers to easily control the convention and
make such a constitution as he and his
crowd want. There is a certain poetic

the fight between Quay on one side and

Quay's claims appear to be the most sub
stantial The precise question at issue is
the craftsmanship of the State Comm it

and which Mr.. Quay intends shall be
filed by himself. The probability is that
no matter what the result Of the conven-

If the Democratic State Committee of
Kentucky ever had any idea of inviting
Gen. Hardin, the Democratic candidate
for governor, to withdraw Sthey thought
better of it when they met on Saturday
for instead of suggesting his with
drawal they drew uptan address to the
Democrats of the State urging them to
vote for him regardless of his currency
opinions. Most of the committee are said
to be sound money men and not in sym
pathy with Hardin, but Democratic sue
cess in their opinion was more important
than currency questions. We are afraid
that will be the view Of most of the
Democratic voters of the State, and that

Democrats will not take place. The capa-
pilities OF the average Democrat, in

Eye witnesses describe the condition of
Cuba as most deplorable. At Santiago
business is completely at a standstill, and
the town is full of refugees from the
country districts who have fed from
the guerrilla bands that are riding over
the country burning and pillaging at will.
The Spanish troops are badly disciplined,
and the recruits being picked up in Cuba
are little better in appearance than
Coxey's army. If the instruction goes
on for another year the sugar industry
will be Frustrated. The administrator of
one of the largest plantations in the
Santiago de Cuba district says that it
will take the planters four or five years to
recover from the damage already done.
Many plantations not laid waste by the
insurreotionists have been practically
abandoned. The laborers have fled to
the towns. and the cane is uncut. Next
season, if the estate goes suncultivated,
the fields will be overrun with weeds and
soon become worthless for producing a
crop of sugar. In fact, the sugar planters
really bear the brunt of the war. They
will have to pay enormous taxes, even if
the instruction be put down. At present
almost every planter is threatened with
ruin if he does not contribute money to
the nsurgent cause. The sugar planters
are between the devil and the deep sea-
If they do not pay large sums OF money
for protection their fields are laid
waste If they ask protection" from the
government, they are marked as enemies

Postmaster General Wilson has been in
terviewed on the business situation, and
he thinks prosperity is returning, slowly
but surely. He thinks the silver agita-
ton will not cut much of figure in the
campaign of next year. As to the tariff
law he now thinks it step in the right
direction, though when he was compelled
to accept it by the Gorman-Brice combi-
nation he denounced it as fraud, and
he predicts that eventually it will yield
sufficient revenue. The political situation
is not yet everywhere in everything what
it should be, but he thinks by next year
the Democratic prospects will be bright.

The Liquor Dealers Association OF New
York have concluded that it will be wise
policy on their part to obey the Sunday
liquor closing..law and have adopted res
olution to that effect. Their idea is prob
ably that change of the law can be
brought about better by this attitude
than by defiance. If they fail to get the
law changed they will probably go to
breaking it again. That Sunday iquo
selling in New York is permanently at an
end is not at all likely.
