Rank of the States.

In 1890 New York outnumbered Pennsyl- vania by 739,S inhabitants. The difference now Is 967 GA. This does not go to show that mineral Pennsylvania is destined soon to outrank commercial New York The latter, with an imperial enumeration of ,009 souls, will not be outnumbered by her coal-burdened sister very soon, for the latter has but 6,S01, ,365 inhabitants.
 Illinois is easily the third State of the union, her population being 4,S21550. Her nearest rival Is Ohio, which has 4,157 ,5i5 population, and Is growing slowly. Illinois is magnificent State, and the chief city of the State is possessed of a towering am- bition. but the State as a whole must be content with third place a long time-for fifty years at least.
 Missouri comes next, but there is a wide gap between her and Ohio. Texas is the sixth State, and herein may be found the clements of a close and doubtful race in 1910. with the chances in favor of Texas. The Niissouri-Texas race will be interest ing, for Missouri now has 3,107, ,117 inhabi-

SENATOR'S BURST OF CONFIDENCE

From the New York World.
 This 'jocular remark was made by Sen ator Scott of West Virginia, member of the Republican National Committee, at the Roosevelt dinner on Friday
 Right here I want to say I believe in trusts. They are good thing. The Stand ard Oil Company put in its pipe lines to all the small towns where oil is produced, and if it was not for the Standard Oil Company this prosperity that we have wouldn't be there today"
 This avowal was not made for publica- tion We reproduce it with the distinct un- derstanding that it was intended solely for the delectation of the Republican and trust magnates around the festive board. But a trustworthy reporter was present by per- mission, and-as the Governor of WiscoE- sin said on an historic occasion-"he seen his duty and he done it." So this burst of confidence reached the public-and Senator Scott became McKinley's Burchard.
 And, after all, wherein Is this honest avowal any worse than Mark Hanna's pre- posterous claim that there are no trusts" or than the defense of the majority of trusts as inevitable and useful, as made by many of MT. McKinley's supporters?

py; large number of society folk taking part and making the clubhouse beautiful scene of great merriment. All imaginable games and tricks peculiar to Halloween were provided and were abundantly en- joyed. Tubs of water for floating apples, apples hanging from strings, floating can dles and fairy lamps, strings of beans, H. luminated pumpkins and squashes, collec- lions of candles burning together. and no end of such little devices for the amuse- ment of the goodly company. The club rooms were most tastefully and splendidly decorated with brilliant autumn leaves, and with the happy crowd present that place of pleasure seemed never before so happy. There was music and dancing, and a general good time all around.

THE EMPEROR's CHAIR
! Letter dn Washington Star.

Pekin Letter in Washington Star.
 An! We are going into the Emperor s palace, 1t seems. The troops are wheeling, and in we march. Here is the audience room, or throneroom, room of heavenly some thing or other-whichever you please. The Chinese have a score or more of fanci- full names for this place where the Elm perors of China have been wont to appear before the favored few It Is a gorgeous room, a big one, into which we file Owing to the lack of furniture 1t would look like huge barn, if it were not for the spIendor of the woodwork and the carvings. The floor is covered with cloth of the hue of Chinese vermillion. In the center is a vast mat of fabric looking like rough velvet It is worked all over with yellow dragons
 And over here is the throne-the empty chair of poor, weazened, little Hwang Su. It stands on a raised platform, reached by stairs at the rear This throne Is the only place to sit down in the room, for of course no one ever sat in the presence of the Elm peror
 Just here the officers have to keep their eyes open. There is a disposition on the part of many of the men to drop out of the ranks for an instant, dart swiftly at the throne and afterward be able to say that they have sat on the throne of China. But the officers are vigilant, and not a man gets out of line. So the most restless of the soldiers content themselves with splitting at the Emperors empty chair as they pass by
 How swiftly this swinging infantry step carries us out of the palace! Here we are in another court. We march north, and go by the Palace of Earth's Repose. This is where the Empress lives when at home. Incidentally the ladies of the harem are quartered with her and under her supervi- sion. Just beyond are the imperial gardens. It is here that Emepror after Emperor has dawdled away his leisure hours flirting with his ladies.
 It is a scene of bewildering beauty de- spite the dust that now lies thick over all. There are small canals crossed by costly bridges; little islands standing in the mid dle of artificial lakes. little pagodas on these islands that make ideal places for flirting. On the right of the Palace of Earths Repose is the Temple of Intense Thought, a dreary looking place devoted to the worship of Confucius and the lesser sages. Next we are marching past the Hall of Literary Abyss.
 Another gate, another court yard, and here we are at the back of north gate. As we pass from under its arch we are out in the plain, ordinary world again. The diff ferent contingents of allied troops halt long enough to send up some rousing cheers. The generals smile and bow and shake hands There is only moments halt and now the troops are marching off in differ ent directions The show is oyeri

MELvILLE's VIEWS ON AIRsBIPs.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Rear Admiral George W. Melville. Arctic explorer and chief engineer of the United States navy. cannot bring himself to &C., cept the reports of the successful trials of Count von zeppelin's airship. The whole business of aerial navigation is a fake, he declares, and adds:
 If God had intended that man should fly he would have given him wings. He has not done it, and, in my opinion, all at tempts by man to force the work of nature to that extent are doomed to failure. I don't believe Count von Zeppehn's airship is a success and I don't believe that his or any other mans efforts in this direction will ever be successful
 If Admiral Melvilles logic were sound a man like himself, who has a fad for steam engineering, is 'light-headed" To be consistent, Admiral Melville should not attempt to solve the problems of navigat- ing the seas because he is not fish How dare he try to travel through the water without an air bladder and fins and a tail? What right has he to use triple-expansion boilers and propellers and armor plate for warships if nature has not equipped his own person with a full set of similar ma chinery?

CHEsrNUrs IN AUTUMN

From the Pail Mall Gazette. All down the rain-swept Richmond road, In autumn red the naples glowed The chestnut spreads her gorgeous fans, The chestnut spread her gorgeous fans, Orange and red, and balls of green Prickly horse-chestnut hung between The horses slipped upon the mud; The sky was heavy gray; like blood The suns rim blazed down in the west A hot heart in a heavy breast. The sky was empty of all wings; The silence that the dead leaf brings Held the great garden in charm Stronger than any giants arm. There was the noise of bells that beat, Of wheels that creaked along street, Then all harsh sounds as dust were strown Behind, forgotten; and alone
 The flame of. chestnuts upwards lowered, With torches all the way was lowered; Tree after tree biazed on our eyes. A sight to bid the soul arise
 And sing the lovely gospel spread Abroad in orange leaves and red.

A LEADER IN NAME AND DEED.
on the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
 The claim that the Democratic party was never more truly Democratic than it is un der the leadership of MT. Bryan is gradu- ally being admitted by informed students of our history. The truth is being recog- niZed that the movement called Bryan ism in nothing but another of those tre- mendous ground-swells of Democratic inn pulse and aspiration which periodically agitate the politics of this Republic. It is being admitted that the legitimate success sor of Jefferson and Jackson is William J. Bryan.
 The popular instinct has recognized this fact for some time and it is of decided in terest that historical scholars are begin ming to admit the truth and that their con- clusions are being welcomed in the pages of the most conservative magazines of the day.

Seventy-Six Millions.

The growth of Alabama is almost identl- cal in percentage with that of the entire country-nearly 21 per cent. And all the cotton States have kept up with the pro- cession, Texas and Florida doing better than their sisters. Florida was increased over 30 per cent, and Texas about 40 per cent. The South a whole is fully up to the general rate of growth. Alabama is the eighteenth State, with a good prospect ot outgrowing Virginia and North Carolina in 1910. The three States are closely bunch ed in population. but Alabama s rate of growth was nearly 21 per cent. in the de- cade just ended, while North Carolina's was but 16 per cent, and Virginia's still less
 Only one State, Nevada, slipped back. It's population is now but 42,334 and this hand ful has two Senators and representative in Congress. Politically speaking, it is the most powerful community in the country. The stagnant States are Delaware, Kan sas, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire and Vermont. The growth in these did not ex- ceed per cent. They are really standing still.
 In grade above these are found Iowa, Maryland, South Dakota and Utah, which are growing slowly, averaging perhaps 10 per cent. The States that present the best growth record are Florida, Illinois, Massa- chusetts, Missouri Montana, Texas, Wash ington and West Virginia.

ALL VOTERS ADMITTED FREE

From the Washington Post
 Thesvoters in the Twelfth Congressional District of Missouri are reveling in vaude- vile entertainment free of all expense. The Democratic candidate there. as the Post has said heretofore, is a MT. Butler, proprietor of a big vaudeville theater. The district has been represented by Repub- lican, but this year there is every pros- pect that it will turn about. Every night now MT Butler takes his stand near the door of the playhouse, and when a voter seeks admission he has only to show that he is a voter in one of the wards of the Twelfth Congressional District when the doorkeepers come forward and welcome him within All others pay. This is de- clared to be a winning card with which the Republicans are unable to contend. MT Buffers election is practically conceded

HOBsON,s NAVAL IDOL

The Southern people all like Hobson- naturally being one of themselves-and ad- mre him; but their liking and admiration are not sufficient to make them, at his mere expression of wish to that effect, recant and renounce the settled conviction they have been compelled to entertain of Sampson's unjust treatment of Schley. If Hobsons Colossal figure of the Spanish war" has had much fiery criticism directed at him, he brought it on himself; men who "sow the wind.' Sampson did, should not be astonished when they reap the whirlwind."

fastened for DR.. G, E. Barker as
soon as the child attracted attention
and returned with him in 10

More Struggled Cinnamon.

Mr.. VIM. B. Thews, the Ameri-
can immigration Inspector, at
Rykert, B. c., made another CAP
ture of struggled Chin se this week.
On Tuesday he obtained infor-
nation that a party of eight China
men were making their way into
the U. S., travelling by night along
the Kootenai Valley Ry. He and
Customs Officer James e. Dolan,
Immediately started out to head
them off which they succeeded in
Going. Coming to Bonners Ferry,
they placed guards at points along
the River where they were most
likely to attempt to cross. One of
these guards, John Seehaver, was
placed on the K. V, Ry bridge and
the result of his watch was reward
ed by the appearance of the whole
gang about 3 a. M, Wednesday
morning, John held them up,
but five got away in/the darkness
and the other three were marched
in to town.
Judge O'Cellahgan, the U. S.
Commissioner, gave the Cinnamon
an examination and found two of
them subject to deportation. The
third had his certificate. He was
no doubt the alder and abettor in
the smuggling but this could not
be proven and he had to be dis
charged.
The U. S. Marshal is expected
soon to take the Cinnamon away.
LATER.-The other five China
men were taken in last night. Thef
were caught by John Seehaver and
Louis " hite about three miles this
side of Copeland, just after dark,
The Chinaman were making their
way back TO the B c. They were
brought in during the night and
will be examined today.
