The Soldiers on Our Back.

From New York journal.
According to the director OF the
census, this country has 1925,
22O inhabitants. According to
the adjutant general the regular
army has 66,39G soldiers. Dis
cardlng fractions, that is one sol
dier to 1,149 inhabitants. Demo
cratic orators have been finding a
pleasure in pointing out that ev-
cry American citizen has a SOL
dier on his back. Now that the
voting is all done, "the tumult
and shouting dead. it can do no
harm to note that, while right,
they are inaccurate; what the A
merlcan citizen really carries on
the patient back of him is not a
soldier, but the one eleven hun
dred and forty ninth part of a
soldier. Ifthe army were increas-
ed to 100000 the burden would
be a little heavier, but there
would still be 762 civilians to car
ry q whole soldier-and he work
ing his passage! As no patriotic
purpose can now be served by any
harangue outang making pur-
pie idiot OF himself, it is to be hop
ed that the pick a.pack soldier
will he permitted toFide in peace.

AN OPEN LETTER.
j. II. Grain, President of the Grand
Junction Business College,
Writes Concerning the
School.
Ottawa, Kan, Nov. II, 1000
Editor Springfield Herald,

tPffu f~ntSIVts SOiOs = -
Dear Sir and Friend: You may
saw through your columns to the
public that we believe IN asking
that we may receive. We be
lleve. In receiving. that we may
in return, give.
The Grand Junction Business
College, Of Grand Junction, Colo,
is founded upon the same princi-
plies that has made a grand sue
cess OF the college with which it IS
closely connected. The Ottawa
University Business College is en-
Joying very phenominal success
financially. and has gained the
favor OF the people of broad
country, owing to the success of a
large number of its graduates that
have gone out to represent it, as
cultured and well trained young
men and women.
The Ottawa University Busl,
ness College is situated at Ottawa,
Kansas, about 60 miles from Kan
sas City. 1t Is one of the seven
departments oil the Ottawa Uni
versity, the only Baptist college
IN Kansas, and the Business col
lege is known as the Ottawa UNI
versity Business department.
This department, like other de-
partments of the University. has
grown very rapidly IN the last
few years; has outgrown its accom-
modatlons at Ottawa. and on Oct.
1st divided its teaching force; the
experienced teachers were put in
charge OF new school at Grand
Junction. New teachers were
taken into the Ottawa school, and
now the two schools are run as
one, under the same management
and are closely associated.
Business practice is taught and
carried on between the students
of the two schools. In but few
words-we have broadened our
territory and now have two
schools working together in per-
feet harmony and under one man
agement.
We invite the people OF Colo
RADIO to enter the school now es
tablished in this state and TO take
advantage, if possible, Of our re-
duction rate for one day only. as
mentioned in another part Of this
paper. Respectfully,
j. IL. GRAIN.

Tie Next Senate.

III uOeS not Always lOiIOW tuut
the political party which carries IA
presidential election hy sweep
ing majority makes important
gains in congress. Sometimes
there is loss in either the house
or senate, or both, to the party
that wins the presidency. In the
present year, however, there is Il
gain all round. The substan
tlal majority in the house is hand
somely increased, and the senate
will be more strongly Republican
than before. The net Republican
gain in the senate will be five
mem bers, which, considering thu
slowness with which changes oc-
cur in that body, is most gratily-
ing. The membership of the SEN
ate now sonsists fifty-t~o Ilepub-
li,.ans, twenty-five Democrats,
two straight silverites, two Silver
Republicans. five Populists and
one independent. Two seats are
vacant, and one-tllat ot Senator
Clark, OF Montana-ls practically
vacant as it is not likely that his
appointment will be regarded as
valid. The Republican majority
at present is therefore seventeen
over all.
There are thirty states which
will elect members of the senate
before March 4. In twenty one
of these, new legislatures were e.
lected this month. OF these
twenty one the Republicans car
ried Delaware, Illinois, Kansas,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, PENNSYLVANIA, South
Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and
Wyoming, while the Democrats
carried Arkansas, Colorado, Ida
no, Montana, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas.
If we assume that in each state
the dominant party in the legis-
lature will elect one of its men to
the senate, and that there will be
no deadlocks, the Republicans
will gam two seats In Delaware,
one in Nebraska. ono in South
Dakota and one in Utah. They will
fill the vacant seat IN Delaware
and besides elect a Republican to
succeed Senator Kenney, Demo
crat, whose term will expire. In
Nebraska Senator Allen, Popu
list, who was appointed by the ex-
ecut1ve temporarily to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Sen
ator Hayward. Republican, last
December. will be succeeded by a
Republican. In South Dakota a
Republican will take the place of
Senator Pettlgrew. rabii Bry-
ante. In Utah the Republicans
have vacancy 10 fill, which. like
that IN Delaware, was left by a
deadlocked legislature.
The Democrats will gain one
seat in each of the states of Colo

Colorado, Senator Wolcott will be
displaced; In Idaho Senator Shoup
and in Montana Senator Carter.

White Cubans Will Rule.

Washington, April 19.-General
Sanger to-day made public the result 3
of the Cuban census, taken under his
direction. The figures, in the opin-
lon of the war department officials,
fully Justify the decision of the ad-
ministration to allow municipal
suffrage in Cuba at this early stage.
The native Cubons constitute a large
portion of the population: the whites
greatly outnumber the blacks; and a
proportion of the native population
can read and write.
The total population of Cuba is
o72.191, including S15,2O3 males
ard zJI 800 females. There are Az
312 white males and 1926 white
females of native birth The foreign
whites number 1880 males and
&c, 45S females. There are 111,S9S
male negroes and 122, 74O female ne
groes. The mixed races number 125.-
800 males and 145,3O5 females.
There are "A ,694 male and 1853 female
Chinese. The population of Havana
city is 235,9 S1. Of thetotal popula-
tion of the island l Jos, 100 persons
are set down as single. 246,351 as
married, while 1871 1877 live together
10y mutual consent There are So
112 widowed persons.
OF the total population, according
20 citizenship, 2O,47s are Spanish.
i,296,361 are Cubans, 1881 are
an suspense, 1885 are of other citi-
zenship, and GIG are unknown. The
Spanish by birth number 100. 24O.
The conclusion is drawn that there
will be at least 10000 qualified
native Cuban voters under the pro
posed basis of suffrage.
