Computations in the Pittsburg Dis
patch show that West Nirginia's coal
output increased from IL 100000 tons in
1895 to IS. $50 900 tons last year, giving
employment to nearly II, 900 more men,
who worked every day in that year, in
stead Of 195 days in 1895. The bank
deposits in that state have doubled
within the same period. Trade failures
have decreased by two-thirds. The
value of the sheep has increased by 80
per cent, while the price of wool has
doubled. Tobacco is worth consider
ably more money now than under the
last Democratic administration. The
lumber mills and factories are running
fun time and it is safe to predict that
West Virginia will stay in the Repub-
lican column.

Portland Advertiser: 1t seems that
the census. 50 far as Portland is con-
cerned, will not accurately show the
population Of the city. 1t is taken at
! season OF the year when great many
people are out of town and their names
VIII fail TO appear on the Portland re-
turns. Portland people living for the
summer in neighboring towns nave
been enumerated in their temporary
homes, thus swelling unduly the popu-
lation of the summer resort towns and
depriving Portland Of the same num-
Der of inhabitants. 1t is understood
that this course is pursued according
to instructions from the officials who
have the taking of the census IN
charge. 1t is not right, just the same,
and II Portland shows smaller num-
Der OF inhabitants than is expected we
shall know the reason for it.
The census enumerators have had all
sorts of experiences but about the most
perpleXing predicament reported was
that Of u Portland enumeration who
found a family where the parents were
not OF the same color, one being a
negro and the other white. Some of
the children We're nearly white and
some We're black and the enumerator
found it very difficult to decide how to
return Them on his blank, since he had
to draw the color line according to his
own Judgment, the mother declining to
express an opinion as to which We're
white and which ones We're black.

The Wilson Printing Bill.

Representatives Wilson, of Tangi-
pahoa, has introduced bill in the
Legislature to further cut down the
already small competency of the
newspaper publishers. Louisiana
newspaper men receive less money
for public printing than those of
any other State, and yet this Demo-
Graf, Mr.. Wilson. would still further
cut down their rations Of bread and
butter. AS nearly all the news
papers Of Louisiana are Democratic,
it is a direct blow at them-there is
no getting around that fact. In
Republican states the newspapers
are always well looked after, and in
stead of cutting their fees to starva-
ton rates, the Republican 'legisla-
lures see that they are paid reason
able prices for their work. The re.
suit is, that the Republican country
press of the North is the real strength
of that party, and has pulled them
out of defeat many time. Besides,
successful newspapers help to build
up q state, help to bring new capital
in and that means prosperity to the
people. When their fees for public
printing are cut TO pieces the news
paper is sure to show it in its
columns. Representative Wilson's
bill will neither help the State nor
the Democratic party.-Town Talk
