The marvellous growth of the circu-
lation of The Des Moines Leader has
made it necessary for that great news

new press is the largest and most
wonderful printing machine be
tween Chicago and Denver, and

The Governments Treasury Depart
ment Helps Wall Street

"Shg ACkp6 w e1AA 6UI66U.
To relieve the stringency in the money
market in New York. the secretary of
the treasury has offered to buy $4,000,
600 of government bonds. Russell Sage
is quoted as saying:
81 believe Cages action saved the
financial world from disastrous panic.
"No one who has been in touch with
the business enterprises the past few
months can fail to have realized the
stringency of the money market Ready
money appeared to be extraordinarily
scarce, and those who had it held or de
manded the highest class securities be-
fore they let go"
When all the facts connected with
Cages bond sales and bond purchases
are made public aud the net loss to the
people footed up, they will compare un-
favorably with the worst work of the
Cleveland administration, and that was
bad enough.

The Official Canvass in Ohio

The official canvass in Ohio shows
that there were 9O8, 1853 votes cast for
governor, of which Judge Nash, the re-
publican candidate, received only 417,-
1893, or 36,8S0 votes less than one half of
the total vote polled. These figures
show that the combined vote of the
candidates for governor, who were OPP
posed to the republican candidate ex.
ceeds the vote for the Republican can
didate by 1851. No great Endorsement
of imperialism in the vote of the presi-
dent'sIown state.

Emperor William is visiting in Eng
land this week, and if the dispatches
from Germany state the facts, the peo-
pie of that country are greatly dis
pleased over the affair. The official
newspapers are serving to make it ap-
pear that the emperor is simply making
family visit to his grandmother, and
that the trip is wholly devoid of politi.
cal significance. This explanation
however, seems to have had little or nc
effect upon the public, and the extracts
from the leading newspapers show ill
concealed dissatisfaction.

The Next Census.

Those who like to do those things
are specializing on the number the
census Of 1900 will aggregate. Di-
rector Merriam puts the probable
figures at u, 100000. Assistant Di-
rector Wines figures out close to To-
100000. Professor H. S. Pritchett,
Superintendent of the coast survey,
puts the number at 77,472,000. j.
S. Mccoy, the government actuary,
says 77,676,000. The Treasury De-
partment figures by per centage 75,-
465, 900. The almanac makers say
II, S03 231.
The increase from 1870 to 1880
was about twelve millions; the in
crease from 1880 to 1890 was also
about twelve millions; and adding
twelve millions to the total returned
by the last census we have 1922
- $50.
The Chicago Record says that
some of the more thoughtful statis-
ticians are predicting that there
will be a great disappointment when
the population of the United States
is announced at the lose of the next
census. 1t will be remembered that
there was q great surprise when the
returns of the census of 1890 came in

claimed"

The Peoples Telephone Company.

The st. Adams Messenger an
nounces the sale of the property of
the Peoples Telephone company to
the New England Telephone COM
pany. While this was news to
good many of the citizens of st.
Albans, to Others more conversant
with the operation of its affairs, it
has been expected that the company
would either sell out or discontinue
it's service. The Peoples company
has been operating in st. Adams for
the past two years and it is deeply
to be regretted that it could not
have succeeded for the majority of
the business men of st, Adams are in
sympathy with the management and
have given it liberal support. The
manager of the company has very
frankly told his subscribers that he
had miscalculated the expense of
conducting and maintaining a high
class of service at a low price and
that be was unwilling to prolong a
struggle that was losing him money
in an increasing ratio from month
to month.
This failure comes as surprise to
a good many of the subscribers OF
the company from the fact that they
were paying a rental of $16 to 500
per annum, which seemed to warrant
keeping the affairs of the company
in a self-supporting orproftable con-
dition, but the manager, Mr.. f. b.
Cross, whom our people know as an
honorable, hard working gentleman,
states positively that those rates
were not remunerative, considering
the large amount OF territory overed
by the service. Besides the exchanges
in St. Adams and Swanton aggrega-
ting about 200 subscribers, the CON-
pany allowed free service with several
adjacent towns which it required
over 40 miles of lines to reach. This
in itself was a heavy handicap. Mr..
Cross put up strong fight, but he
says unforeseen expenses and ln-
sufficient receipts made failure III
eyitable.
