1890 had S,273 and in 1900 she has 49,
34S, an increase in the city I'M ten
years of $685. so that the increase
outside the city limits has been but
79O, and many of these new citizens
belong to the city, as they are in the
suburbs and outlying additions, which
have not yet been included in the cor
poration.
So that it may be said that the coun-
ty outside of Marietta has Increased
bud little if any, during the past de-
cade. The reasons for this are that
farm life is not being made attractive
TO young people and one chief feature
of this is the bad roads.
The extension of the rural free de-
livery system and the distribution of
daily mail with papers will serve to
make people more contented with farm
Fife. Farm life, however, compares
faycrably with other walks. The farm

housed and all beyond that saved out
Of products is profit. The wage earn.

as well as The older ones. With good
roads, rural delivery, Grange clubs
and societies and better prices for farm

CENTENARY OF WASHINGTON.

1t is the intention of Washington
ians to mark the Inauguration of the
closing session of Congress with some
event worthy of the historical fact that
it is the centenary of the meetings of
Congress in that city. The first ses-
sion of Congress- held in Washington
convened, 1t is true, on November 8,
but this fact does not entirely prevent
honoring the present date of the be-
ginning of the sessions of Congress,
1t was in 1892 that work was begun on
the White House, which was then des-
ignated 1.-THE Presidents palace" and a
year later the construction of the cap
ftol was started. Both Maryland and
Virginia contributed through their
Legislatures, believing that the re-
moval of the seat of government from
Philadelphia to the new city would be
helpful to them, but the work dragged.
1t was eight years from the comence-
ment of labor on the foundations of
the first of the buildings before Presi-
dent Adams was able to give instruc-
tions to the department heads to pre-
pare for removal, but this he did May
10, 1900, and the third Monday in Nov
ember of that year Congress held its
first session in the new building.
There was nothing there then except
the public buildings, and it is interest
ing to note that as the city grew up
the plans of tn projectors went awry.
The White House was to have been be.
hind the capitol building and the city
itself on the other side of it, but people
evidently wanted to be nearer the
President than this arrangement per-
mitted, so they put up their
stores and residences between the two
official buildings.
The location of the capital at Wash
ington is marked by one of the neatest
pieces of log-rolling in American his
tory, in which that master mind of po-
litical strategy, Alexander Hamilton,
completely took in Thomas Jefferson.
Hamilton had control of the Federalist
forces, which were trying to make the
United States Government something
more than a mere agent for transact
ing foreign business, which was the
view of their opponents. He conceived
the idea that the assumption by the
United States of the war debts of the
States would have a powerful influence
in this respect. Before the bill came
up in the House he ascertained that it
lacked two votes of passage. Rushing
to Jefferson. who in his day was po-
litical boss, whose will was law, he
agreed that if Virginia would give him
two votes for the assumption bill he
would secure the Northern votes need
ed to pass the bill locating the capital
at the present site instead of Phila-
delphia. Property interests and State
pride won over Jefferson. He ordered
two of his Virginia henchmen to vote
for the assumption bill and it passed.
When jefferson came to realize the
full effect of Hamilton's rlan, he said
this action was one that pained him
most. From it dated the growth of
the federal power, and all ofJefferson's
subsequent endeavors could not stop
it.-Timcs Star.
