In connection with the application of the
city of San Francisco for the next Repub-
lican convention on the ground that the
new West should be recognized. a recent
article by Robert p. Porter will be inter-
esting as showing the recent growth at
tained by the country west OF the Missouri
river. Mr.. Porter was superintendent OF
the last census, and there is perhaps no
person who has made closer study of
our development during the decade from
1850 to 1890.
At the beginning of the century the
West was the western portion OF New
York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, while
Baltimore was the center OF population.
Later the central Mississippi states were
regarded as the West. but they have now
become the middle West, or Central
states, while the West proper embraces
the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
states. In 1890 there was in the old and
new West more than ss.000.o 900 people and
the center OF population had moved from
Baltimore to a point somewhere in In
diana.
The population OF the new West. made
up OF Montana. Wyoming. Colorado. New
Mexico. Arizona. Utah. Nevada, Idaho.
Washington. Oregon and California, in
1880 was 1907. 497. In 1890 this had in
creased to 3.O27.6l3 and .n 1894 is estimated
by the governors of the several states and
territories TO be nearly three and half
millions. The old West and the new West
together have over 25.OO00Oo. or more than
one-third OF the entire population of the
United States.
While the increase in population OF the
whole country was very marked between
1850 and 1890. that of the new West was
almost phenomenal. The old middle West
states show an Increase in population OF
2SA per cent, while that of the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast states was
TlH per cent. The Increase in Washing
ton was particularly noticeable. being 365
per cent. in ten years.

ANOTHER SUGAR QUESTION.

From 1855 TO 1895 congress has appro-
priated S50a.00o for experiments In the.man-
ufacture OF sugar. According TO Secretary
Morton these experiments have not been
a great success. stations have been To-
Gated in Kansas. Nebraska, Florida, Viz
ginia aud California out Of the appro-
nriations made there was s2eeS.7S7 expended
foc material and machinery. and only
about $4,000 has been turned in as proceeds
from machinery sold. \ good deal OF the
stuff has been disposed Of TO the highest
bidders after condemnation. appraiscment
and advertising. and about all there Is left
now IN tho hands OF the government Is one
station IN Florida. Mr.. Morton says that
IN reality tho experimental stations have
done nothing for three years, and thci-
condition had been brought 20 his atten-
ton only through the disappearance Of
government machinery. Now he proposes
- look into the matter thoroughly and see
how the money has been expended ard
what has become or the property pur-
chased by the government. IL IS u he
hoped his investigation VIII no thorough.
Tor it has been generally believed that
Federal aid has increased the production
- sugar iu this country very materially.
and II there has been any crookedness in
handling the sugar experiment money. the

Enormous Exports OF Wooden Goods to
the United States.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Yorkshire and Lancashire are rejoicing
over the improvement in trade. in which
a great Increase in the export of WOODEN,
worsted and cotton goods TO America
plays an important part. Every loom in
Bradford is in motion. The demand from
American clothiers for all the cheaper
grades Of wooden and worsted goods is
very heavy. Last months exports were
FIVE times as great as in July of the pre-
vious year, and trade with the United
States continues brisk, especially in stuff
goods and worsted coatings. There is also
a large increase in the export of wool
from Bradford to the United States. In
Huddersfeld, where the finest woolens
and worsteds are made for merchant tall
ors. exports to the United States more
than trebled in the last quarter. Exports
from Leeds nave also materially increased.
although the woclen trade there is only
one of many industries. Manufacturers
of woolens and worsteds IN Yorkshire ex-
plain that the Improvement in trade is not
confined TO America, but extends to all
countries, stocks having apparently run
very low In the long period Of depression.
They have reason 70 be satisfied with the
condition OF trade, for prices are advanc-
ing steadily. Exports from Manchester to
the United States have also doubled over
those of the corresponding period last
year, the increase being especially notice
able in cotton piece goods, cotton velvets.
fustians, linens, damasks and handker-
chiefs Every cotton mill in Lancashire Is
running on full time. and the operatives
have all the work they want.
The strike among the Dundee mill work
ers has left 5000 operatives idle. although
the Grimonds set the example of COM

vance OF per cent. in wages. The jute
