tied 1t Is to be expected that Aguinaldo's
Insurgents will do all they can to keep
the islands in turmoii. : The next two
months are likely to be bloody and cha
otto, thanks to Mr.. Bryan's encourage
ment of anarchy in the islands. Until
after that time Judge Taft and his fell
low commissioners will probably be un-
able to accomplish much. The American
soldiers will continue to protect the lives
n property of the peaceful natives
wherever possible, but the majority Of
thhe Filipinos canno be expected to
trust their safety to a flag on which they
cannot depend. If Aguinaldo's American
friend Is defeated for the presidency the

proceed with renewed chances of sue

The Anaconda Standard this morning.
in an article about the Philippines, says:
Today, as the world knows, the re-
publican party is absolutely, denying
the application of that principle to ten
millions of human beings whom the
fortunes of war has placed in our
power. A republican president is at this
very time carrying on by his own arbi-
trary will a war of conquest in the Phil
ippines: under his orders the armies of
the United States are hunting the natives
through the swamps and jungles, shoot
ing them dow by hundreds. by thou
sands and by tens of thousands-and fox
what? What crime have they COM
mitted? What wrong nav they ever
lone us?
Most Of the above Is bosh. The re-
publican party is doing in the Philip
uines what it is compelled in honor to
dot is suppressing rebellion in terri
tory Of the United States acquired under
a treaty ratified by the senate and ap-
proved ever by the democratic candidate
for the presidency. No val of conquest is
going IN. A tribe of natives, embody-
ing less than a tenth of the population

murder all the whites and all the friendly
natives, is being ~subjugated in order
that peace may come and government
be established. An article from the Chi
cago Tribune, in another column, telling
why it has not been established before.
explains the situation fully. AS to the
Standards queries, What crime have
they committed" What wrong have
they ever done us?" it is sufficient in
reply to say that they have plotted to
cut the throat of every American and
they have been shooting at American
soldiers and deriding and reviling the
American flag for two years, urged on
by democratic sympathy and encourage
ment; that the withdrawal of our troops
would result in wholesale murder and
rapine and the d%renching of the island in
human blood! that chaos would result
and horrors beyond description or con-
ception would follow. The crimes the
Tagals have committed, or would COM
NIT, are an all-sufficient justification for
military activity, and it is almost incon-
ceivable that any American newspaper.
for political purposes only, would mis-
represent the American government in its
effort to restore peace, protect human life
and preserve the national honor within
its own territory.

WHAT THE CENSUS SHOWS.

In an interesting letter about the CEN
sus the New York Sun Washington cor
respondent says that with the announce
ment of the population Of Detroit the
census bureau has completed the count
of the inhabitants of thirty of the largest
cities of the United States, showing a
total of Is, 24S. SIS. Already over 80, 900, 900
have been counted. and Director Mer-
RAM is certain that the entire population
returns will be ready for congress when
it meets in December. Enough have been
counted so far to give some idea of the
result of the census For some years the
opinion has been prevalent that the GEN.
sus of 1900 would show a total population
of Il. DOC, 900. The returns from the thirty
cities shows an average increase of al
most 30 per cent, which, if maintained
throughout the country, would mean that
the population is in the neighborhood of
so, 0G0, coo. But it is characteristic of all
countries that the towns grow faster
than the country districts and the larger
the city the more rapidly it grows. In
New England, for instance, is Boston,
with an increase of 25.07, Providence
with 32.SS per cent; but no one would be
led to believe from this that the rural
population of New England has in
creased an average of 20 per cent. during
the past ten years. The great increase
in the farming communities has been
from the Central Dakoras; but even in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and other
Middle States it would doubtless be
found that the largest increase has been
in the cities.
During the period between 1880 and
1890 the increase in the population of the
United States vas phenomenal. The tide
of immigration was strong and practi-
cally unchecked. The great West had
just commenced to attract the attention
of European immigrants n the country
was recovering from the Civil War and
the panicky times between 1870 and 1880.
Chicago doubled it's population and the
western cities grew like mushrooms.
New states We're admitted to the Union
and new territories opened to settlement.
But between 1890 and 1900 immigration
has been discouraged rather than encour-
aged. Some care is exercised in extend
ing the welcoming hand to the incoming
Europeans. Chinese immigration has
been stopped. Most of the immigrants
now so to the cities and stay there. The
older farming communities being well
settled, the farmers sons and daughters
go to the cities, with the results thai the
urban population is swelled at the ex-
pense of the country districts.
The list Of the thirty largest cities and
their population is as follows:

made by the management of the state

an Ohio mine and resembled in many re-

was found that the American variety
burned much better than the local ar

OF the Peace Of that place, is accused Of

the wound, said 10 was not Of . serious
nature, but that the injured man had
had . very narrow escape.
Miles was arrested on . complaint
sworn to by Brooks charging assault
with intent to kill, and the preliminary
examination was held before Justice
Engstrom Of Beowawe on Monday.
Seven or eight witnesses were examined,
but as no one. not even the complaining
witness himself, had seen the knife, n o
the blow which caused the wound, the
Justice did not consider the evidence
sufficient TO justify him in holding Miles
to the Grand Jury, and he was accord.

A Citizen OF Ruby Valley Is UnduIy

10 the Elko Independent Of September
l9s "citizen Of Ruby Valley" has q com
munication complaining Of an imaginary
reflection which he claims Was cast upon
the people Of that locality in an enter
view" with Mrs. G. H. Stinson which
it is alleged was published in the En-
REKA SENTINEL.
The only statement which appeared in
this paper as coming from Mrs. Stinson
was on July IA last. and read as follows:
"Mrs. G. II. Stinson desires to say
that in her capacity as census enumera-
tor she found the great majority Of the
people in her district courteous and con-
siderate. only a few being otherwise, and
that for all she entertains the highest
regard and the kindest of feelings"
This expression from Mrs. Stinson was
called out by q humorous reference the
week before to the trials of census emu
merators. and that lady did not wish
to have il even intimated that she com.
planned Of the treatment she received.
In view of these facts il would appear
that the Independent correspondent had
gone g long distance out of his way to
find something to grumble at.
