In its political news of the state the
st. Paul Dispatch asst evening says
''The second district members of the
house, who are all Republicans, are
expected to get together next week to
decide upon a course of action with
regard to the speakership and other
questions of Importance to come up
during the session of the legislature
S. d. Peterson, of New Ulm, will also
decide whether he is to remain in the

vided support of the district for chief
clerk of the house. "

While the talk is going round the
state that Gov. Lind is more than
so, 600 stronger than his party, it
should be remembered that quite a
portion of the Mckinley vote was
made up of old time Democrats who
Y voted for him, and then dropped back
and voted for Lind. illogical as the
scheme was. The great 10000 plural
ity for Mckinley in this state can
hardly be said to represent the Repub-
lican strength of the state, unless
sanity has entirely left Democracy and
it has become fully and completely
Organized. 1t is more probable that
the true Republican strength of the
state is more nearly represented by
the average plurality of the state
ticket below governor.

used at the creameries look large, but
they give an average for the cows re-

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.

1t is not likely the United States
will ever see any such rapid changes
in increase of population as have been
witnessed in few of the past decades
in the filling up of the West. While
there is yet much room in the West,
it will see no more of the rapid
changes which has characterized it
during the past third of a century.
By the census of 1900, the center of
population for the country is located
at Columbus, Indiana. This is a
movement of only about twenty miles
since 1890. Between 1880 and 1890
the movement Westward was about
forty eight miles. The shortest shift
ing which the center point has made
in any decade from 1890 to 1900 says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, was
that which took place between 1900
and 1910, which was thirty-six miles
The average Westward movement in
a decade has been about fifty miles.
The line of movement has always been
along or near the thirty ninth parallel
a line which passes not far from Balti-
more, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Denver
and San Franisco.
As described by the census bureau,
the center of population is the center
of gravity of the country's inhabi-
tants, leach individual being assumed
to have the same weight and to press
downward with force proportionale
to his distance from the center. ("
That is to say, the mass of inhabi-
tants increases in weight in proper
tion to the length of its removal from
the central point. The concentration
of population in New York and Phila-
delphia on the one side and in San
Francisco and Portland, Oregon, on
the other, count for more in the bal
ance than if the former were deposited
in Ohio or Michigan or the latter were
laid down in Missouri or Iowa. The
shifting of the population center is
determined in large degree by the
distribution of the units of the in
habitants which are located East and
West of that point, respectively
Relative to the expansion of the East
in the past ten years the growth of
the West has been much slower than it
was in previous decades Manufacture
ing ATTRACTS population more strongly
than does commerce, and, of course,
far more strongly than does agriculture
OF any sort. and the East is growing
more rapidly in manufacturing than
the West. This order of things may
change in the future, and probably
will change in considerable degree. /
The Pacific coast is certain to de-
velop its manufactures in the next ten
years, as consequence of the opening
in the Asiatic trade which is being
made for the country The central
West is making great strides in manu-
featuring of all kinds Though the
star enterprise is not travelling toward
sunset as rapidly as it moved in earlier
days, it has not yet halted, and is not
likely to halt soon.

From Munice. Ind, comes the story
that the boost in the price of corn is

Speaking of the good roads question
the Duluth Herald says: Good au-
thority estimates that the total wagon
transportation of the United States
amounts to approximately 500. 600, 600
tons each year, and that the average
distance hauled by wagon transporta-
tion is eight miles, at cost per ton
of 50 for this distance. This could
show an expense of 81, 900, 600, 900 per
year for wagon freighting over public
roads of freight naturally coming I'M
der the provisions of this estimate. In
comparison with this we have the es-
innate taken from compiled statistics
in England showing that the average
cost of hauling ton eight miles is
only 80 cents. This difference is due
mainly to the fact of England's i'm
proved highway. It costs the Ameri-
can farmer more than double that of
the English to market his crops by
wagon on the public highway. This
should be convincing argument in
favor of good roads. -

operation. If any period of low tariff,
or of one approaching to free trade, had
anything to offer comparable with
this, the people who have been telling
us that the extension of our foreign
trade is impossible under the protec-
tive tariff would certainly have cited
the facts. y
This ought to be a good sized hint
to those who talk about recognizing
the Democratic party and who want
low tariff brought to the front again as
one of it's cardinal points, that the less
they monkey with the buzz saw
the better. Revising the tariff on q
free trade basis, in the face of such a
record as has been presented for the
past three years, will not be popular
in this country again for years to
come, and any party that attempts it
will doubtless get let down as uncer-
enormously as was the case in 1894-96.
