The Youngstown vindicator compli-
ments Akron's business men as fol-
lows:
akron citizens are filed with glee
at the census reports In finding their
city less than 1000 behind Youngstown,
whereas in the report Of ten years ago
the census showed Mahoning's capital
over 5000 In advance. The same
ratio Of increase maintained for another
decennial period by both cities will
place Akron in advance of Youngs-
town. To secure this, citizens are
urged TO continue their enterprise In
locating business industries that do not
have to wait for the scale to be
signed" but are in constant operation
furnishing employment to men build
ing homes and expanding the city.
This is good advice to Youngstown
capitalists and while Akron's business
men are pushing the growth Of their
city in locating factories of varied
character the same policy should
guide earnest effort here"

CITIES OF .MAelc GROWTH
(philadelphia Record.)


The census returns of some Of the
boom towns of the West and South
deserve attention; for they teach a les
son which might well be learned by
for opportunities to make 500 per cent
n month by real estate investments
in town of magic growth. Because men
have made fortunes In real estate in
places like Chicago, which was well
situated for permanent large growth,
people are easily duped when ap-
preached by the glib agents of towns
that are artificially doomed" There
is hardly a single community on the
other side OF the Mississippi which
has been allowed TO grow naturally.
Ten years ago the West had scores
of places that were confidently adver-
tlsed as future Chicagos, although some
of them lacked every natural advan-
tage for u considerable growth. 1t
was regarded as not only u labor of
profit but n bounden duty for the cit
liens to "boom" every such town. Per-
haps mast citizens believed in the
predicted greatness of their respective
communities. In Eastern and Middle
State publications these places took
lup q great deal of space with hysteri-
cal advertising. The world was told
that then was the moment to buy lots.
as prices We're bound TO so ''out of
sight" in few months. Eastern
schoolma'ams and other small savers
soon boasted of their real estate hold
ings in future great cities OF the
bounding West
The census of 1890 was the opportu-
nifty of some Of the boom towns. The
temptation to pad was great. An hon
est return in many cases would have
been fatal, while false enumeration
would seem to confirm the exaggerated
statements OF growth. In two consplc-
uous instances extravagant returns
were made with the consent of the
interested supervisors from cities that
were fairly prosperous. Names were
taken from hotel registers and were
| invented and sent to Washington
Those who were directly responsible
for the fraud We're not concerned about
the probable exposure In 1900, since
long before the next census they ex
pectcd to be rid of their holdings, and
probably would be in the East or II
Europe enjoying the fruits OF theil
smartness.
Many of the towns with collapsed
booms may have a prosperous future
when they shall be allowed to develol
naturally and honestly. However tina
may be, persons who are seeking rea
estate Investments In growing towns
can do much better in localities where
values nre not Inflated by speculative
mania. The experience of the past y
years proves that 1t Is wise to avoi'
boom towns In making permanent In
, vestments.

If any Of Akron's citizens think that
they are not competent to elect their

incIting the strike. Somebody must be
made the scapegrace-anybody or any

cheating the miners of their scanty

BRYANITE INCONSISTENCIES.

When the campaign fairly
opens next month, the little
boomlet which Mr.. Bryan's can
didacy is enjoying just at present
will be dissipated by the search
ing analysis democratic literature
and forid oratory must undergo.
In a letter.to a friend in this city,
Hon. Binger Hermann considers
a few points of Mr.. Bryan's In
dianapolis address. He says:
Everything has an auspicious
look to it at present, politically
speaking; our friends are in high
glee and are now analytically
going through the recent Bryan
manifesto and exposing the many
inconsistencies as we'll as contra
dictions which are quickly point
ed out. The attitude of the
democracy in North Carolina in
disfranchising sixty thousand
legal voters is causing our demo-
cratic brethren a great deal of
embarrassment in other sections
of the Union, since it is living
contradiction of their oft-pro-
nounced theory as to the "con-
sent of the governed" The con-
sent of sixty thousand American
citizens in one of the oldest
states of the republic does not
seem to worry them, while their
attention is entirely bestowed
upon the pirates and cut-throats
of the Philippines. it's appear
ing very prominently to many
that there is more attention paid
to the rights of man in the Phil
ippine, Islands under the flag
and within the guardianship of
the boys in blue, than is given
the colored American citizen
under democratic government in
the state of North Carolina.
Then again, the inconsistency
of the Bryanites in contending
for the ultimate abandonment
of the Philippines under a gov
ernment of their own, even
though it be protectorate of the
United States, is a contradiction
to their boast that the constitu-
ton follows the flag. Under
that constitution the sovereignty
of the Philippine archipelago
has been transferred to the
United States. This sovereign
ty under the American flag is
acknowledged by all the world.
Even Bryan himself urged con-
gress to ratify the Paris treaty
which passed the title and the
sovereignty from Spain to our
own country. 1t is as firmly a
part of Our sovereignty as is New
Mexico or California, or any of
the states under the louisiana
purchase, and it being such it
can no more be separated from
that sovereignty than can any of
the territory named. The great
civil war taught a lesson in this
regard. There is no power un-
der the constitution by which
any portion of the public domain
under the sovereignty of the
United States can be transferred
to another sovereignty. Not
even congress has this power,
