The population was doubled between 1860 and 1890, and so some of the amateurs req son that it will again be doubled in the thirty years between 1890 and 1920; but alas. as population increases the ratio de- ereases and we may not have in 1920 pee- pie to the number of 125,o0o,0oo. unless in- deed we count the population of the new possessions. which would not be fair in the matter of ratios.
 Dr. Wines, assistant director of the cen- sus and statistician of recognized stand ing, does not anticipate result much be- yond 7O.0OoO00. Others say the population in 1900 will certainly be 75,0OO0OO. and these detailed figures fairly represent the esti- mates of the maximists:

Whatever the aggregate may be, 1t is certain that the white population is increasing much faster than the negro population. the ratio of the former ex- ceeding that of the latter at least ten per cent. In the long run this, if maintained means that the negros will lose their pres- ent numerical standing.

THE LONG DAYS

Yes! they are here again, the long, long
 days,
 After the days of winter, pinched and
 white;
 Soon, with a thousand minstrels comes
 the light, Late the sweet robin-haunted dusk delays But the long days that bring us back tho
 flowers,
 The sunshine and the auiet-drippins rain And all the things we know of spring
 again, The long days bring not tho long-lost
 hours. The hours iaat now seem to have been each one
 summer in itself, whole lifes hound Filled full of deathless joy---wherc in his round, Have these forever faded from the sun? The fret, the fever tho unrest endures, ysIt the time flies $ Oh, try, my little lad,
 Coming so hot and play-worn, to be glad And patient of the long hours that yours.

 At present writing the Hon. Willie Wal dorf Astor comes closer to being a man without a country than anyone whose name can be recalled. At the very moment that he announced his intention to become an English subject he was openly snubbed by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, and of course was jumped on by the English press.

GEN. LEES LAST ORDER
Valuable War Relic Found in a Chest in
 Dunkirk, Ind.

Dunkirk Ind, August 6.-The original order written by General Robert E. Lee disbanding his army, after his surrender to General U. s. Grant, has been found in a chest of relics of the civil war owned by pr. J. B. Garber, Of this city. This docu- ment has long been wanted, and was re- ported missing from the effects Of General Lee at the time of his death. The order IS written in General Lees handwriting and reads as follows:
 General Order No. 9.)
 Headquarters Army North Virginia.
 April 10. 1865. After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and forti- tude, the Army of North Virginia has beer compelled to yield to overwhelming num- bers and resources. I need not tell the brave survivors of so many hard fought battles, who nave remained steadfast .o the last, that I have consented 70 this result from no distrust of them. But feeling skat vaior and devotion could accomplish noth. ing that would compensate for the loss, of the contest, determined to avoid the use- less sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. By the terms of the agreement officers and men may return to their homes, to remain until discharged.
 You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed and I earnestly pray that merciful God will extend to you His blessing and protection. With an increasing admiration for your eonstancy and devotion to your country, and-a grate- full remembrance of your kind and generous consideration for myself bid you all an affectionate farewell.
 R. E. LEE, General. The chest was owned by Dr. J. D. Story. of Charestown, w. Va, who was surgeon of the Seventh Virginia Cavalry, who att tended rne wounded at Harpers Ferry on the night of John Browns attack, and who attended Brown at the time of his execu- tion. He died last April, aaa left many of his army relics to his Close friend, Dr. eaSpef. H .s t. s-1
