 The director Of the census, ill an- nouncing the population Of the United States, made the following statement
 "Ihe figures of the pOpula tion are the result of q careful computation by means of the latest tabuIating ma- chimes. It has been the custom here tofore to make a narrow count but in tnlS decade IL was determlned to avoid the expense and delay incident to such proceeding. The plan was adopted of verifying the count at once by the use of the electrical contrivances re- ferred to above. Bulletins will be issued for the various minor civil di- visions in the different states and ter ritories as fast as possible. The en- tire number. it is hoped. will be ready for the public use before the nrst of January
 The early completion of the tabula- tion of the population of the states enables the census office to submit the figures to congress as soon as IL convenes in December. All the fiel6 work of the twelfth census is now complete.

The sum total of tie bills this time amounts to So0,00Q.I2. gain of S2, 4S5,S over the preceding hall wear.

A Nuisance.

Mr.. EDITOR-Will you allow me
space in your paper to express myself
on a subject that l think should be
brought to the attention of the Boarl
of Health of your borough. l refer to
the condition Of the Shore at the foot
of Broad st. / had an OCCASION to pass
by there one day last week and there
was straightway burne in my mind a
silent wonder as to how the residents
Of that neighbolhood and the employees
OF the powder works who are necces-
sariIy obliged to pass there endure the
sight and stencil Of the place.
Curiosity led me to make a slight in
vestigati0i. Tie variety and extent of
the garbage and refuse gathered there
with the body Of a domestic animal in
an advanced state Of decomposition led
me to the conclusion that it was the
dumping ground Of the entire lower end
of the borough. 1t is indeed a disgrace
to the otherwise we'll regulated state of
the town that such q vile hole should
be tolerated. it is a menace to the
health and we'll being Of The families
living near it and. should receive the at.
tentiOn OF those in authority at once.
If there need ba a dumping ground for
the people in the name of common de-
cency let it be put beyond the borough
limits where it will not offend the eyes
and nostrils of the residents of and visit
ors to your pretty borough.
A WELL WISHER.

Will He Change Again.

The Philadelphia North american
last Saturday contained a three column
, letter to Mark llama, osteusibly from
a correspondent, but having inc ear
marks of having been written by one of
the editors, calling upon President Nc
Kinley to make Mr.. Bryan's election
impossible by eliminating the issue of
imperialism by reversing bis Phillip
pine policy. The letter clearly sets
forth the policy of imperialism in the
following paragraphs:
''If the President will declare I'm.
e%quivocally that the Philippine Islands
are to be governed under the Constitu-
ton; that their people are to be guaran-
teed all the personal immunities of the
bill of rights, including trial by jury;
that they are to have the sole power of
taxing themselves except as to such
Federal taxes as are uniform through
out the United States; that they are to
own their public lands now claimed by
the friars; that they are to control their
own franchises; that they are to be re-
Nresence Of an army of occupation; that
slavery in the Sulu Islands under the
American flag will not be tolerated,
and if further, AS an evidence that he is
speaking in earnest, he shall immed-
lately order General Macarthur to ar
range for a cessation Of hostilities pend
ing agreement as to the methods by
which a stable, native government a
be instituted under the sovereignty Of
the United States, the people will ac-
cept this as a fair compromise and will
not bother as to responsibility for the
past.
"But every American soldier killed
by the little brown men or by the pes
thence that stalks among our camps
deprIves the President of ten votes.
The longer the ~bloodslled and devasta-
tion in Luzon and Visaya aid Negros
and Mindanao continue, The more do
Mr. Bryan's chances OF election come
within the bounds of possibility.
stIf it was an error In the Church to
'give the devil all the good music"
surely it is u political error to give the
opposition the sole right to quote the
Declaration of Independence and the
speeches of such revered patriots as
Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and
Lincoln. The Administration cannot
kdislodge MIR. Bryan from his chosen
ground; it must be wiser than Butler at
Eugela and make a flank movement.
Tenry of Navarro thought that the
own Of France was worth a mass.
kjor Mckinley. for the sake of the
Presidency, abandoned his advocacy Of
siI4ei. Cannot President Mckinley,
not only for his own reelection, but to
save the country from any risk of the
dangers of BryaDism, abandon the nn.
American imperial policy for a course
in Keeping with the sacred principles
of tle nation and with The glorious
traditions Of the Republican party, the
party of freedom and of human rights?''
The Penn's Grove record., 1900-08-31

The fact that there may have been
more vacant houses in Salem four or
five years ago does not alter the fact
that McKinley's prosperity is not over
whelming the II of the Il vacant
houses and 5 vacant stores there to day.
Cleveland's administration was as much
a gold standard administration a. Nc
Kinley's. The discovery of more ro9d
the past three years which has given as
a larger increase of standard money
than the free coinage Of all the silver
would have done five years ago, was
never predicted nor expected by Mr..
Mckinley nor his adherents who said
there was enough money four years ago.
But they brag about the increaaod4~
ply which has made times s0mewbScl
better now. More standard money
would make them better stiIl<
