THE POPULATION OF CHICAGO.

Chicago has just taken school cen
sus which shows a very small increase
for so big q city, over the figures re-
ported two years ago. The popula-
ton is said TO be about 100000 now,
which is at least 100000 less than the
lowest limit which the boomers of the
Two Million club have been willing TO
consider as possible. The chances are
that the school census is still far too
high.
There is not doubt that the statis-
tics made up for school fund purposes
two years ago were grossly padded, the
purpose being to increase Chicagos
share in the school funds of the state.
That is reason enough for the fact that
the increase since 1894 seems to have
been only about one-quarter as great
as the gain between 1890 and 1894. 1t
is impossible TO believe that the figures
now given are not in excess of the
truth, because Chicago has long and
consistent record in ''stufing" school
census returns. There is money in
it, and such a chance to cheat the state
would never be missed when the city
was as hard pressed as it is now and as
unable to house and educate the chill
dren of its people.
The true population Of Chicago Is
probably about 100000. That means
q gain in six years OF 100000, which
ought to be enough to satisfy even the
Chicago appetite for rapid growth.

RESTORE THAT MONEY.

Having appropriated much more money
than the country is likely to have for q
long time. congress is now trying to de-
wise some way TO increase taxation.
Among other schemes a tax on tea has
been proposed. If at all familiar with
history the members will recall the fact
that a very serious disturbance was once
created in this country by levying a tax
on tea The people prefer to get along
with fewer naval vessels. fortifcations,
high salaried officials and Venezuelan
commissions to paying any additional
taxes until the half Of their money which
has been taken from them is restored

A sEADRELLY PRoPHECY.

The Wichita (Kansas) Eagle, a Re-
publican journal of silver proclivities
which is edited by a delegate TO the ST.
Louis convention, declares that, what
ever that BODY may say on the money
question, ''the sympathies and convic-
tions OF its Inevitable nominee are and
will be with the affirmative majority of
the people on the silver question"
This is a legitimate conclusion from
McKinley's wabbles in the past; and
there can be no doubt that the silver
ties will be perfectly satisfied with the
nomination of the tariff major, no mat
ter what declaration may be made in
the St Louis platform in favor of the
gold standard of value.-Philadelph
Record.
The principles Of presidents, not the
policy of platforms, count in the admin
jStration of the affairs Of this country.
As an earnest Of the truth Of this prop
osition the Eagle cites the attention OF
its broad-brim cOtemporary TO the en-
forced policy Of the syndicate Sphinx
as he severely plans for another bond
deal in the interest of Wall streets
single Scinch.
That Major Mckinley would veto any
silver measure that might, under any

of both houses Of congress we would
not believe for a moment. That he is

scheme. The one is of the people, one
of whom is Mckinley; the other is of

M,KINLEY,s FIRST VOTE

Some of the campaign biographies are
in error in locating McKinley's first vote.
His first vote was cast for Abraham Lin
coin in 1854. I was cast in Virginia while
his regiment was in the field, and the
three men who went with the young lieu
tenant TO the ballot box were Philip H.
sheridan, Rutherford 3. Hayes, and Al
fred II. Terry. Al four votes were for
York Mail and Express.
