DEMOCRATIC COUNTY Tucked.
MR.. BRYAN'S TOUR.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan, the
Democratic candidate for President of
the United States, arrived in West Vir-
ginia from Chicago yesterday, passed
through almost the entire northern
portion of the State en- route to Cum
berland, Nd, escorted by a number of
distinguished citizens of this State and
Maryland, and made an address to an
immense audience at Cumberland last
evening. To-day he will proceed to
Sheperdstown, where he will make an
address to thousands of people repre-
senting four States. and then will re-
trace his steps via Parkersburg to
this city, where adequate arrange
ments have been made to insure
kim an enthusiastic reception and
the most earnest attention. The
details of the Wheeling meeting are
in the hands Of competent committees.
complete and satisfactory transporta-
ton arrangements have been made, in
surfing low rates of fare for long dis
taaccs about the city, and there will
he an abundance of room on the water
front of the city to accommodate twen-
" thousand people, with the best op-
portunity to see and hear
This viii probably be the only op-
portunfty the people of Wheeling or of
Mest Virginia will have of hearing Mr..
Bryan during the present campaign, as
he has much territory to cover, and the
demands upon his time are very num-
Arous. It is therefore urged that both

SPANS GREAT BARGAIN.


That Spain is much better Off now
than before the late war with the
United States all the available informa-
ton shows. She is prospecting as she
has not fer hundreds Of years, the
finances of the Kingdom are rapidly as
sllning a satisfactory condition, busi-
ness is Furnishing and the people are
generally much improved in every way.
Commenting On these facts, the Chicago
Record says:
The prosperity of Spain is fully as great,
now that the colonies in the West lndles
and Asia have now been lost to the crown,
as it was when those islands were sup
posed to contribute TO its wealth
And the New York Herald adds:
We certainly did the handsome thing by
Spain in the late war. We paid her TWEEN
ty millions in cash, and then unstrapped
the burden from her shoulders that she
had been staggering under, strapped II to
our own shoulders and are now doing a
little staggering on our own account. We
played the part of a very accommodating
Don QuiXote in that affair.
1t will be the judgment of history,
as it is Of thinking men at the present
day, that America played the part OF
a noodle in dealing with Spain as we
did. We ought to have insisted, for in
stance, upon Spain keeping the Philip
pines and restoring order there at her
own expense, as part punishment for
her crimes against civilization. That
would have been poetic justice.

What Women Admire in Men.

Letter in Pail Mall Gazette.
What we admire most in them is low
ing appreciation of ourselves. The most
admirable man is he who makes a COM
Portable home for the woman who loves

bright and CHEEKY for his sake. For after
all it matters little what we admire in

THE OYSTER,

New York dealers are now handling
five thousand IONS of oysters a day, or
about a million and a half bivalves. OF
this number 100000 go west over the
railroads. The "crCp" is pronounced
excellent, but of course the flavor is
net what it will 0e with the first touch
of frost. 1t is worthy Of notice that
only about two per cent. of the oysters
at present on the market come from
natural beds. Ninety-eight per cent
are from artificial beds, where seed"
is sown regularly and the ripe oyster
tonged I'D in the fall and winter. In
Long Island Sound alone there are eight
thousand square miles OF these artificial
oyster beds, protected by law, and po-
Iced against poachers. Their value is
estimated at about 500 per acre.
The price of oysters this year has
advanced about one dollar per thousand
over last years quotations, the expla-
nation being the scarcity of seed"
The best oysters bring $3.50 to S. per
thousand in the New York market, and
natural bed oysters sometimes as much
as double those prices. The great no.
tells and leading metropolitan restaur-
ants contract for the natural bed Oys-
tiers long in advance, paying whatever
price may be demanded, and very few
OF this class of shell-fish ever find their
way into the hands or mouths of ordi-
nary consumers, even in the East. As
giving an idea of the consumption OF
oysters in America, it is computed that
four hundred million tons of these fish
have been taken from Chesapeake Bay
alone in the past one hundred years,
and were it not for the annual increase
in the area of artificial beds the oyster
in eastern waters would long since
have become practically extinct.

Letter in London Chronicle.
The suggestion in your issue of to-day
for providing volunteer guides for our
American, colonial and country cousins
on their visits TO London strikes me as
an admirable one. How often do We see
our visitors gazing aimlessly about the
streets, jostled by the crowds. or standing
apart at street corners trying in vain to
find out in "Baedeker' what they want.
Surely there are many Londoners of both
sexes possessed of a competent knowl-
edge of the chief churches, museums and
objects of interest Cor who could soon OBJ
tain such knowledge who would be glad
to devote a day or half day now and

THE CENSUS FIGURES.


The indications are multiplying that
the total of the coming census enum-
Grafton will not be much over seventy
five millions This will be large in
crease over ten years ago, but W"
still fall short Of private and even of
governmental estimates during the last
few years, and will thus be a disap-
pointment. The Treasury Department
at Washington as long ago as October
81, 1898, gave the country a population
of 75,059,000, and June 80 Of last year
the same departments estimate was
i7.S16,000. The natural expectation,
based upon these official estimates, was
at least 7S,250,000 1t now looks as
though we would fall at least 100000
below these official estimates, and there
will be general dissatisfaction.
The count is doubtless apr Ultimately
correct, and the trouble between the
count and estimates is that the uni
versal tendency is to estimate popula-
lions too high, whether it be in the
case of a village, town, city, county,
State or the country at large. Cold
facts are often disappointing, while
hap-hazzard guesses can generally be
made to apply to desired conditions
and present circumstances. Seventy
five millions make up very comfort
able total, and no one need be asham-
ed of the growth of the country in the
past decade.
