The Census Figures.

According to the census report which
has just been published the state Of
Washington has over half a million peo-
pie. The exact figures are 517.s72. This
is an increase in ten years Of Iss.ss2 The
population of territory and state for the
last forty years. as published by the CEN
sus office. was as follows: 1884. in 1850;
2s,55. IN 1870; 75.lis. in 1880. and $40. $50. in
1890. The increase during the past ten
years has not been so remarkable as 1t
was during the preceding decade. but the
the size of Its percentage OF gain wash
ington viii be among the leading states.
The census OF 1890 showed that WASH
ington had larger percentage OF gain
than any other state OF the Union. with
the exception OF North Dakota. and that
It had outstripped Rhode Island. Vermont.
South Dakota. Oregon. District Of Co
iumbia. Utah. Delaware. New Mexico and
Montana. each of which In 1880 had a
larger population than Washington. As
regards numerical standing based on pop
uiation Washington stood number forty
two In 1880. BY 1880 it had gained eight
places and stood thirty-four. The present
census shows that It stands thirty-three
II has passed New Hampshire. While its
total population does not equal that OF
Colorado by about 1900 its growth dur
ing the past decade has been more rapid
than that Of the Centennial state. II Is
now far ahead of Montana, South Dakota
and North Dakota, states which were adj
mitted to the Union with Washington in
1889. although the percentage Of increase
in the last-named state is larger than
that OF washington.
The official announcement places the
total population Of the United states at
7s.zs5.s2o. which Is an increase Of nearly
Il per cent over the population OF 1880
Aft the states show an increase except
Nevada. which has lost over 1000 people,
and now has less than one-half the pop
added nearly 100000 to its population. and
now has Hs,5s2 people. This is io4.14o
fewer people than Washington has.
Considering that for nearly one-haif of
the decade the country was suffering from
Industrial depression, the total increase in
population comes up to tho expectations
OF those who made conservative estimates
after . careful study OF existing condi-
tions. The growth OF the West has been
satisfactory. and the advance has been Of
far more substantial character than was
that of the decade from 1850 to 1890. The
increase In Washington has been OF a
kind that is solid and permanent, and the
people OF the state have reason to feel
gratined at the showing made through
the census bureau.

why Our Manufacturers Succeed.

In . discussion OF the proposal TO es-
tablish q preferential tariff TO favor goods
of British manufacture the prime minister
Of New Zealand pointed out that before
any such scheme could be successfully
put into effect II would be necessary for
the British manufacturers 10 reform their
methods so that they could be prepared
to handle successfully sueh orders as
Az an illustration. he said that the New
Zealand government wanted locomotives.
They could not get any British manufact-
urse to guarantee delivery under eight
cen months or two years. The govern
ment wanted rails and railway machinery
and could not get them. unless after the
same length of time The New Zealand
government sent to America. and the or
ders that the British manufacturers
could not MI under eighteen months
time we're filed in the United States IN
from six weeks 10 three months.
Yet during all OF the time TO which the
New Zealand premier refers. American
manufactures were crowded with orders
and British manufacturers were not
evsrprssssd with work. The experiences
Of New Zealand have been duplicated
many times within the past year or 80.
American bsiags builders secured con-
tracts IN Egypt for government work
solely because they could GUARANTEES ae-

manufacturers ceaid 80 20. Locomotives

The People Are for Frink.

Few candidates have ever passed
through the ordeal OF a campaign as In
vineible to attack and as steadily grow
ing in the confidence and affection OF the
people as the Republican nominee for
governor. In the course OF a canvass that
has been marked by reckless and shame
full personal assaults by fusion organs
ana speakers, no word OF reproaeh
against the Hon. J. NJ. Frink has been
made good. His record, that OF the
American self-made man. his perfect sin
Certify. his frankness with the public and
his fine and dignifed conception Of the
duties Of office have won upon our people
daily wherever he has gone he left
hosts OF friends behind him. Those famii-
lar with the man and his history needed
no reinsurance. And those who saw and
heard him In his progress over the state
feel and say that this is a man in whose
keeping the peoples interests win be Sc
cure.
Hon. J. N. Frink is the type OF those
men who have been most successful and
most popular in the public affairs OF this
country; plain men. honest men. sincere
men, men with whom the thought Of serv-
irg the people honorabiy and giving to
the state an administration conducted on
strict business principles stood above all
other motives and purposes. He is the
man who is needed to redeem the public
service OF Washington from the Discreet
cast upon 1t by the operations Of the
Turner-Rogers ring. that has advertised
its shame far and wide. He is the man
to consult the interests OF the people and
the honor OF the commonwealth in his
public acts He is bound by no pledges
save that of fidelity to the people and his
oath OF Office.
To possess this integrity OF character
and to impress a conviction of II upon
the public is the most effective. the most
Irresistible form OF campaigning. AS Mr..
Frink has Travelled through the state,
t0AhhH8 W NHC PSopic QufcIys WituouN pas
sion or oratorIcai display. but with In
telligence and good sense, of what they
need and Of what sort OF government he
would endeavor to give them. he has
made friends everywhere and won sup
porters by thousands. He is eminently a
man of the people. He belongs to them
by origin and by the work OF his busy
life. Starting as a poor boy to work his
way in the world. he has won success
precisely by the possession and exercise
OF those qualities that the American peo-
pie admire and prize. He has nothing to
conceal He has nothing to promise but
faithful administration OF the peoples
trust. and that IL all that the people want.
In ripe experience. in character. in his
high conception OF public Office. Its duties
and responsibilities. Mr. Frink has shown
himself during the campaign. as before It,
the right man for an office OF great public
trust That Is why he will be elected
governor Of washington next Tuesday.

Lord wolseley Is reported TO have said
that at some future time America and

who want to bet on Bryan.

First Anniversary ot
 Ihe Woman's Exchange

The members of the Birmingham Woln- ans Exchange will be congratulated today upon it's first anniversary. One year ago it opened it's doors and entered upon the experimental stage. From the first week of its opening, it was an assured success, and so popular did it become in a few weeks that surprise was expressed that Birmingham had ever been without a Womans Exchange. The first year has been successful beyond the hopes of the promoters, and the exchange enters upon it's second year most auspiciously. It is now a permanent institution since its worthy aims are fully recognized and it is meeting with that hearty cooperation that insures its success. Not only is the primary object that ot aftordlng hundreds ot women an opportunity to earn thelr own livelihood = being appreciated by that large class of women, but the little venture in opening d cate has been popular that every day the little tables are quite crowded. Indeed there are famous groups to be found in the cafe at the luncheon hour, and it will in time become historic as a rendezvous. Every day congenial friends are wont to gather there, and many brilliant bonmots are probably passed over unnoticed, for there is a continual flash of wit from the groups around the little tables Judges, lawyers, authors, poets, newspaper men they are all to be found there at the lunch con hour, and some day it will all make one of those charmingly fascinating stories that tell of other days, something like the Cheshire cheese, for instance, where Dr. Samuel Johnson Oliver Goldsmith, David Garrick and others were wont to dine. As a matter of real practical interest, the ex- change will offer unusually attractive menu today.

Series ofLectures

Mrs. Robert Cunningham has inaugurated a very popular movement this winter in her series of lectures on art culture. She has her classes at her residence every Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, while on Mondays and Fridays she has classes in literature. Her series of lectures on art are made extremely interesting and in structive by illustrations and by reason that she is personally familiar with the subjects that are being discussed. She went abroad for the purpose of familiariz- ing herself with old world art. An en- thusiast along Ruskins lines, she absorbed by her visits to the famous foreign gal leries and museums and ruins the ideas that are the themes for her lectures. The third of her series last Wednesday was devoted to a discussion of architecture, the nobest form of art by reason ot its ln- spira tion being born from desire to wor- ship the Creator. Mrs. Cunningham told of the development of architecture, of its characteristics, of the periods when 1t reached it's greatest perfection, of its de- cline, and described the finest examples seen today in the old world. She called particular attention to the Pantheon as
 
 lecture, and in discussion of the various roots, so to speak, of architecture, she ex- plained clearly the different features which go to make the perfect whole The base, the shaft, the flutes, sle frieze, were made by her clear conception of the subject a beautiful theme whereby one realized that in highest art it requires a blending of the beautiful before perfection can be reached, and that the old masters, inspired by the conceptions of each other, were able to give expression to these wonderful examples of architecture and sculpture that are mar veled over today in foreign art centers.
 Mrs. Cunninghams lectures are informal, and while she goes deep into the history of architecture and gives most compre- hensive discussion of her subject, she at the same time recalls her own personal investigations that naturally give an added charm to her lectures Indeed, so interest ing and instructive is her series that the influence of her lectures should be far reaching and educatve in their result Mrs. Cunningham has beep invited to give lec- ture on art tomorrow afternoon at the Wo- mans Club, and she will speak along the most interesting lines. It is probable that the club will arrange for d series of lec- lures that will be given under the auspices of the art section. The plan of giving a series of talks along the same line has come to be more satisfactory than con- densed lecture, for it affords the lecturer an opportunity of doing justice to each period of his subject, and an audience is individual. ITO be continued'' In our next excites. pleasurable anticipations.

Miss Spencer's Success

Among the recent additions to the large number of busy women in Birmingham
 who are making a success in their various
 occupations Is Miss Clara Spencer, who has opened primary school at 627 Thirty second street. Miss Spencer is formerly of New Orleans, where she taught in the city schools. She has been quite encouraged
 at the opening of her school and feels as- sured that 1t will be successful, fact tha t indicates not only an appreciation of her own work, but that Birmingham is a broad field for the young women who de- sire to become self-supporting. Particular ly in educational fields has the young wo- men of today demonstrated her peculiar fitness as a teacher, and the fact that there are so many flourishing schools for children In Birmingham would seem to emphasize that in this especial line the city
