Cakes Republicans: Senator Marshall
returned home Saturday from his labors
at Bismarck. Mr.. Marshall is of the
opinion that the time for legislative
work is entirely too short and much
more might be accomplished under the
Minnesota system-ninety legislative
days. There they have ninety days
work, counting out all holidays, Sundays
and aojournments. In this state II is
sixty days, counting Sundays. holidays
adjournments and all. The legislature
does not get fairly at work for about
thirty days and during the last few days
much work is hurried through without
proper consideration. At this session
they came the nearest to cleaning up the
work they have ever done, but there
We're still some quite important measures
left without action.

The Auditors Salary Bill.

The bill fixing the salaries Of county
auditors does not affect those officers for
the next two years. The law provides
that present" county auditors are ex-
empt from the salary provisions, and as
the bill was not signed until March 8,
the auditors in the meantime, March 4,
having assumed their offices for the COM
ing two years, the present county audit
ors are those who hold for the next two
years, and they are not affected by the
new provisions. Had the bill been ap-
proved before March 4, as it now stands,
it would have affected the salary Of all
auditors in the state for the coming two
years.

The population of the United States
in 1890, at the time the first national
count was made, was, in round figures,
3,930,OOO. According to the statistical
abstract, which has Just been issued by
the government, the population in 1898
was A,389,OO. 1t will be 77,5OO,OOO by
the time that Nj. Merriam's assistants
finish their work in 1900. When Frank
lin, about a century and a quarter ago.
told England that the population of the
thirteen colonies was doubling every
twenty-five years, and would continue
for many years to grow at that rate, the
world was startled and incredulous. The
old philosopher, however, was not astray
in his calculations. America for many
decades doubled in population at the
rate he predicted. It now doubles every
thirty years, for the population of 1870
was. roundly stated, 38,58O,OOO, while
that of 1900 will be about twice this
figure.

pig. There were evidences that the pig
had made desperate efforts to shake of
the mink, and about the time Van came
in the pig fell exhausted from the loss Of

died from conclusion OF the brain.
