Reports from New York are to the
effect that while the coal strike is not
as yet settled, it doubtless will be
early next week. And these reports
are practically confirmed from what
can be CLEANED in the coal fields. The
miners are joyful over the outlook.
One operator is quoted as saying that
the strike would doubtless be settled
in few days. An increase of ten per
cent in wages will probably be grant
ed, and while nothing is said, it is to
be presumed that the size of the ton
that has been required will be cut
down, which in itself will, also act as
an increase in wages. Anthracite coal
dropped so to 70 cents per ton in New
York City Friday. because Of the
hopeful reports.

COAL EIGHT DOLLARS.
This is Less Than il is Sold For in St.
Paul.

Hard coal has advanced to So in
Mankato, the dealers having agreed
to maintain this price. This is an ad-
vance of 90 cents a ton, but it is
cheaper than coal can be had for in
st. Paul.
Hard coal sells for So. 25 ton in St.
Paul But that price is proportion
ately low. New York is also paying
So. % ton for anthracite, although
the same coal commonly sells in the
metropolis for So less than st. Paul
prices. At Milwaukee the prevailing
price is nearer SO than So, and Mil
waukee, of course, is much closer to
the coal fields than is the Sanity City.
Even if the present strike should end
Immediately, the local price of an
thracite would probably not be lessen
ed. The retail dealers now insist that
the East would have to be supplied be-
fore the west, and that not sufficient
time remains to replenish by boat the
docks at the head of the lake The
greater part of the seasons future
supply of anthracite must be brought
to Minnesota by rail. And the in
creased cost of transportation will
maintain local prices at their present
level.

GROWTH OF POPULATION.
Natural Increase as Factor to be TAX
en- Into Account.

Review of Reviews: Is it true,
then, that there has been any appre-
ciable increase during the present de-
cade in the birth-rate, or, on the other
hand, any marked decrease in the
death-rate, which would favorably
affect the average annual increase of
our total numbersH Doubtless the
continued Improvement of sanitary
conditions in the large towns and the
general progress in the conditions of
living and in the treatment of dis
eases are adding steadily if not rapid
ly to the average longevity of our peo-
pie. But all indications would tend
to conform the impression that the
average annual birth-rate is declining
rather than gaining in the United
States. In France, for example, al
though the modern improvements in
sanitation, treatment of disease, and
care of children are diminishing the
deathrate, there has at the same time
been such falling off in the birth
rate that the total population figures
are approximately maintained solely
by reason of moderate stream of i'm
migration from italy and other neigh
boring countries. 1t is perhaps true
that there are now some localities of
considerable extent in the United
States where, if it where no for the
fact that there is some immigration,
and also that there is comparatively
high birth-rate among the immi-
grants, the total population would by
no means hold its own, on account of
the lower birth rate among the native
American element An analytical
study of the facts that the new census
will gather must throw much light
upon interesting questions touching
the present tendencies of population
in this country. If the statistics are
to be relied upon, the increase in
poplation that was due to the excess
of births over deaths was about IA per
cent for the ten years 1880-90; but fur
ther assuming the correctness of the
immigration statistics for the past
decade-if we accept the estimates
which call for population of 80, 600, :
600 this year, we shall have to look to
the excess of births over deaths for a
gain of almost % per cent. To any
one at all familiar with the vital sta
tistics, it is evident without further
discussion that such a radical change
in the United States could not possibly
have taken place. Even if one were
to be content with estimating that we
should have gained population at the
same average rate in the current de-
cade as in the one preceding, it would
still be necessary, on account of the

falling off in immigration, to rely
upon a considerably higher rate Of
gain in the excess of births over deaths
in order to bring up the total. And
there is no sufficient reason to believe
that the actual census work will show
any such gain. If the decade should
have resulted, not in the maintenance
of the same rate per cent of gain as
that of the preceding ten years, but
simply in the gain of a like number
of people namely. about 10, 500, 600
our total population would be, in
round figures, rs, 900, 600. Those who
expect greater aggI egate than 75,
600, 600 will be disappointed.

st. Paul Herald: Gov. Lind now

kill the trust is to adopt free trade.
But the governor is as much as any
one in Minnesota, the father of pro-
lection, for he preached it for six years
in congress and voted for every pro-
lection measure presented at that time.
Two years ago and four years ago, he
said he was "as good a Republican
as ever, except on the money ques-
tion. 7" If that meant anything, it
meant that he was still a protectionist
Now that the Democrats are lodging
free silver the governor completely re-
verses himself, and says that the issue
on which he left the Republican party
is of no consequence, while the issues
upon which he was "as good Re-
publican as ever" two years ago are
all wrong. AS a topper the governor
out-fops Towne himself.

OF Secretary Wilson, OF the agricultural de-
p1rtm,ut, begins with a complimentary ref
crCnCc TO the work of his predecessors

should be regarded as an investment Tor
the reason that they make direct returns
therefor by adding 10 the wealth OF the
country.
Important extensions OF the weather bu-
reau have been made during the year.
Much stress Is laid upon the continued i'm
provcmcnt of the forecast service and the
value of It's warnings. The secretary points
out that. Notwithstanding the great num-
Der Of craft plying the Gulf OF Mexico al
the time of the Galveston storm. the warn
ings were so timely that there was no as
aster upon the open waters Successful eX-
periments have been made with wireless

National legislation on the subject Of
food authorizations Is urged as essential TO
supplement the work done by the several
states. Elaborate work in the investigation
of food adulteration has been continued.
Very little horse meat seems 10 be sold

name or any other name.
