THE AMERICAN ME-
TROPOLIs.

Chicago bids fair to yet become the
metropolis of America, in spite of the
Greater New York. The school census
just taken, which, according to Chair.
man Cusack, of the census committee of
the board of education, has been taken
with greater care than any previous cen.
sus, shows the population to be 1,770,.
600. This is a gain Of nearly 100000
since 1890 and gain OF 100000 in the
past year.
The census statistics show that the
population has increased much faster in
Chicago than in New York and Brook
lyn. Following is the population of the
three cities for the last three decades:
1870. 1880. 1890
New York. 9l2,292 1,2O6299 1,513,5O1
Brooklyn 100000 566,693 sOi, ,377
Chicago 20s,977 SOB, 1856 1,O99, 1888
1t will be seen from these figures that
Chicago is growing with wonderful rapid
ity. From 1870 to 1880, New York in.
creased her population 2S per cent. and
Brooklyn 43 per cent, while Chicago in
creased 10 per cent. From 1880 to 1890
New York increased her population 25
per cent. and Brooklyn AZ per cent,
while Chicago outstrips all previous
records by increasing her population
llS per cent. If the school census re-
Gently taken is any criterion at all, Chi
cago in 1900 is sure to have population
Of over 1000, 900; and perhaps 1900, 900.
1t will be seen that since 1870, the
average of population in New York and
Brooklyn has been about 34I per cent, e.,
while the average increase in Chicago for
the same period of time has been "a per
cent. In the adjacent territory outside
Of the city limits of New York and
Brooklyn, but which will be included in
Greater New York, it is safe to say that
the per cent. Ct increase has not been
any greater since 1870, than it has with.
in the two cities. If this be correct, the
increase of population for the next ten
and twenty years will not average any
more in Greater New York than it did
since 1870. 1t is estimated that in the
census of 1900, Greater New York will
have population of 100000. Giving
to her an average increase of 34I per
cent, her population in 1910 would be
4,7O7 900 and if Chicago shall increase
her population by "a per cent, the cen.
sus of 1910 will record her at 4,26S 900,
i. e., if she has population of 2,2CO,OO
in 1900 which is more than probable,
and this will be but a short distance be-
hind Greater New York. But if Chicago
shall increase from 1890 to 1900 as she
did from 1880 to 1890, her population in
1900 will be 2,39S,000, and if she shall
increase from 1900 to 1910 on the same
ratio, her population will be 5,227 900,
or half million greater than Greater
New York. At any rate if Chicago does
not catch Greater New York in 1910 she
is sure to exceed her by many hundred
thousand in 1920, and thereby become
the great metropolis of America.

WANTS TO KNOW WHERE HE WILL
BE AT.

EDITOR NEws.DEMocRAT: There ap-
pears in the Cleveland World of the 18th
a purported telegram from Washington,
describing plan that is in process of
maturing, between the Sound Money"
and "Free Silver" Democrats, whereby
split at Chicago between these factions,
if 1t cannot be avoided, will be amicably
agreed upon. Each ticket to be run to
win in those states where the sentiments
advocated will be predominant. The
Sound Money" ticket to run in the
gold standard states of the North, and
the Gree Silver" ticket in the silver
states of the South and West. The tel.
egram states that the plan has had the
approval of the President, and the silver
extremists of the South and West 1t
also states that the presidential sectors
chosen under such plan, will agree to
vote, not for the men ostensibly at the
bead of the several tickets, but such
other men as will agree to carry out a
financial policy in accord with one
agreed upon between the factions. The
theory being advanced that the electors
are responsible only to the party they
represent. AS this sounds very much
like pre-convention story, and is so ut
terly unlike and at variance with every
other plan heretofore put forward for an
amicable adjustment of the financial
question, am at loss to know where
the fellows who do the voting will be at,
if they discover the trick before election
day. will the free silver Democrats in
Ohio vote for gold standard candidate,
and gold standard Democrat in Geor-
gia vote for free silver candidate, with
out knowing what the ultimate effect Of
his vote will be? Mr.. News-Democrat,
as you have far-reaching view of the
trend of affairs, will you please tell me
where will be under such a fusion of
forces? FREE SILVER.

WHERE is HE?

The doubt and uncertainty shared by
his friends as to just what are Mr.. Reeds
views on the currency seem to be spread.
ing. There is absolutely no one who
even pretends to know whether he has
any convictions at all on the subject, or
if he has, what they are. Mckinley has
wobbled amicably before us, and we
know now that he has no knowledge on
the subject and no principles, but where
is Reed? Echo answers nowhere!-so
far. Now, there must be some reason.
His admirers represent him, and always
have, as a bluff, straightforward, honest
man, without fear and without reproach,
and as full of information and views and
plans as an egg is of meat, but few signs
of intelligence have escaped the man
himself, so far. Indeed, the only utter
ar ce he has made gives proof of intel
lectual bankruptcy rather than riches,
For while the whole country waits to
hear what a man in so eminent posi-
ton has to say on the money question,
he telegraphs to the listening market
men of Boston: "Tell the marketmen's
club to be of good cheer. The hard
times are not of our making, Joy
cometh with the Republican morning
soon to dawn"
What a relief this must have been!
After they had heard the stern, resolute
Speaker promise them these things, how
their jaded, detected appstites must
have revived. But after all, this is
rather stinted diet, even for marketmen.
1t indicates hope, indeed, and cheer.
full disposition; but really it cannot be
construed into anything of importance
on the burning questions of the day.
Marketmen may feast, and marketmen
may go hungry, but the currency ques.
ton must be dealt with, and what we
want from Mr., Reed, are his views as to
Show"
There is one thing that it does clearly
indicate, and that is, that Mr.. Reed
doesn't dare to have any convictions
worth talking about.

CHAUNCEY BLACK LEvEL-HEAD.
ED.

Chauncey +. Black, of Pennsylvania,
president of the National League of
Democratic clubs, takes a broad and
sensible view of the vexed money ques-
ton, and a stand which if followed
means a solidifcation of party and a
probable success for the Democratic
party this fall. He says:
"It seems to me that the matter might
be settled in very fair and honorable
manner to both sides by an agreement
respecting the exercise of the veto
power of the President. Let it be argu-
ed that our candidate for President is
not, if elected, to interpose his veto to
emba1Tass or defeat any financial legis-
lation which may be sent to him by the
majority of the Democratic members OF
the House.

and believe that the adoption of such a
policy would be injurious to credit and
business. But, if majority Of my
party desires free coinage, l am willing
to accept it. There is more in Democracy
for me than the money question.
The great question of Etaxation is
yet to be settled properly in. this
country, and l am utterly opposed
to parting company with men. so sound
as are Morgan, Vest, Crisp, Mcmillan

THE CONSTITUTION OF OHIO is
ALL RIGHT.

"The people Of Ohio will once more
have the opportunity, at the fall cleo
ton, to vote on the question of the pro-
posed revision of the constitution. A
few years ago the proposition was voted
down through lack of proper interest
and appreciation of the needs of such a
revision. Since then the ills arising
from many of the evils of our constitu-
ton have become more and more em-
phasized. For instance, the taxation
system of this state is sadly out of joint
and is working irreparable injury to both
the commonwealth and the people who
reside therein. There is no hope in the
attempt to engraft specific amendments
to the constitution, even were the evils
to be remedied, few and simple. But,
while so many and so radical changes
seem necessary, there is but one way to
secure them, and that is by a constitu-
tional convention. The necessity for
such a convention is imperative. The
matter ought to be continually agitated
from now until the election, that the
people may thoroughly understand the
situation and stand ready with the bal
lot to apply the remedy.-Akron Bea-
con.
The constitution of Ohio is all right
and is a much better document than
we will get again by new constitutional
convention. The fact that the people
have refused to amend it indicates that
they are satisfied with it. The Beacon
speaks about the taxation system, and
yet the taxation amendment has been
in he
lest few years. The churches and church
people of the state have gone to the polls
every time and voted ono" on that
amendment. To give the legislature ex.
elusive power of taxation is dangerous
experiment.
1t is q notable fact that the railroad
companies and other corporations in the
state are about the only advocates of a
new constitution. When the present
constitution was adopted in 1851 the
power Of corporations was not one
twentieth as great as they are now, and
they were not near so insolent, but let
new constitutional convention be
elected now and see how soon the
corporations of the state will own it body
and soul.
The present legislature is sample Of
what constitutional convention would
be. Just now they are trying to ram
down the throats of the people the
Rogers fifty year franchise steal, in face
of the fact that 80 out of every 100 people
in Ohio are against it, but the corpora.
tions want it and what the corporations
want in Ohio they generally get. The
present constitution has served as q
check to much infamous legislation.
Unfortunately it does not check the
Rogers infamy, but let new constitution
be made and adopted under the crack
and lash of the party whip, as was done
in New York in 1894, and then the people
of Ohio, will find out "where they are
at" Citizens of Ohio be careful. Go
slow. 1t is dangerous experiment and
fraught with many dangers.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The United States Supreme Court has
decided the important question as to
whether negro accused of murder and
put on his trial was entitled under the
fourteenth amendment to be tried by a
jury of his own race, or at least, to have
some persons of his own race on the
jury. Justice Harlan, in delivering the
opinion of the court, said this made no
difference so long as the constitution of
Mississippi dealt impartially with all
citizens and the laws made no discrimi-
nation between them. From what APP
peared, no distinction was made between
whites and blacks, and all, so far as the
terms of the law we're concerned, were
treated alike. Therefore there was no
ground for interference on the part of
the supreme court.

be commended, and It was high time
that the usurpations of county com.
mittees checked.
County committees or any other com.
mittees have no right to take the power
away from the people to select the candi-
dates on their ticket. If the delegates
are selected by primary vote, mass
convention, or a delegate convention
and the voters do not participate in the
making Of the ticket, they have no
right to complain.
If the voters have no voice in select.
ing the delegates to the state conven-
ton, they are apt to become apathetic.
They will not turn out at the election.
1t may do for the Republicans to select
their delegates in that way, but it won't
suit the Democrats. Democracy means
that for every officer from road super.
visor up to the President of the United
States, every Democratic voter has a
right to participate in the selection of
the candidates,

: REEDS DELEGATES.

The friends of Mr.. Reed have begun to
give out figures to show their strength.
Representative Aldrich, of Illinois an.
nounced in Washington on Monday that
of the delegates already elected Reed
had Ill, Mckinley had 1859, and 1866 were
divided in their allegiance between Nor
ton, Allison, Quay, Cullom and Bradley.
McKinley's friends have been claiming
as many delegates as the number which
Mr.. Aldrich gives to both Reed and Nc.
Kinley. This sort of thing will continue
till the convention meets. Men who
like to amuse themselves with problems
in arithmetic, will find amusement in
this sort of thing. The policy of claim.
ing everything is so old that it does not
deceive anyone now. Reeds claims will
not get votes for him. Neither will the
claims of McKinley's friends increase the
number of delegates who favor his NOM
ination.

fights, he has had to contend with many

he don't know the man. He is today
the most formidable of all the candi-
dates in case of deadlock, with posi-.
bly, the exception of Harrison, and it
behooves Hanna to keep a close watch
on the money he is disbursing, or Quay
will get some of it and use it in his own
behalf. Despite Hanna's bombast about
Quay and Platt being mere babies in
politics, they will both be here to man
age national conventions when Hanna
shall have become "a nightmare of the
pastD

SPEAKS WELL OF
CAMPBELL,

Amos j. Cummings, of New York, in
speaking of James E. Campbell as a
Presidential candidate, says:
"Mr. Campbell is today the foremost
modern apostle of patriotism and Amer
canism. His speech at Tammany Hall,
in which he called attention to the Brit
ish infraction of the Monroe Doctrine in
Venezuela was made six months prior to
President Cleveland's ringing message
on the same subject, which brought
England to the knowledgde of the great
virtues of arbitration. Intensely loyal
to his friends, brushing aside ambition
and worldly profit when they tend to in
terfere with this loyalty, he is also in
tensely patriotic. He wore the blue in
those dark days of the past, and his fer
vent love for country is the brightest of
the many bright sides to his character"

SENATOR DANIEL ON JEFFERSON

Senator John w. Daniel, of Virginia,
in speaking of Jefferson at Monticello
last Monday closed his matchless ad-
dress by the following brilliant perora-
ton:
at is in the heart that Democracy is
born, and it was there that it was kept
warm and strong and pure by Jefferson.
Dying without Il penny, his very books,
his land, his home, were sold away from
his inheritors, and, fighting successfully
in every battle out his own, he crowned
the people as victor in every battle that
he won. If man wants u get all he
can out of this life by torturing its laws,
and burdening its people to fill his pock-
cts, let him curse the name of Jefferson.
Let him eat and drink and be merry in
his time, and trample on Democracy and
its teachings But if he wants a mans
chance in life, and that only; if he
means live and let liye;' if he seeks a
wise and frugal government, and would
not rob the mouth of labor of the
bread which it has earned;' If he loves
his neighbor as himself; if he is ready to
give equal and exact justice to all men,
and special privileges to none; if it is
rights that he demands, and not favors
that he sues for; if he does not believe
that one part of man was born saddled
and bridled, and the other part booted
and spurred to ride them; if he does not
believe that liberty is the gift of Cod
then let him pluck flower from this
good mans life, and wear it in his soul
forever"

A GOOD MOVE.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee did judicious thing at their
meeting last week in adopting resolu-
tion that no delegates appointed by a
county committee will be recognized in
tine state convention. The resolution
provides that they may be elected by
primary election, by delegate conven-
tion, or by mass convention. This action
on the part Of the state committee Is to
