The country's Population.

As was generally expected, the count
OF the country's population reveals a
much smaller rate of increase in the
past ten years than has scored in the
decade ending with 1890. The present
population is 76, 295, ,22O, of which IA
627, 9O7 is in the states. This will be the
basis on which representation in the
popular branch of Congress and in the
electoral college will have to be formed
in the coming short session of Congress.
The other portion of the 76 1000, 900 of
inhabitants are in the territories (in-
Guiding Hawaii) II 1867, S13. The aggre-
gate gain in population in the decade
has been 13, 225, 464, which is at the rate
of about 21 per cent. This is the small
est proportionate increase in inhabi-
tants in the whole history of the coun-
try. In the decade ending with 1890
the gain was small fraction less than
% per cent, and it was 80 per cent in
the ten years ending with 1880 In the
previous decade, that which covered
the war of secession, the gain was only
22.63 per Cent, which was the lowest
rate Of increase since the government
was founded along to that time, but
that between 1890 and 1900, as will be
seen, drops below this mark
There is no change in the relative
rank of the leading States. New York
is far ahead of all the other States, the
gap between it and Pennsylvania, the
second on the roll, widening since 1890.
New York S inhabitants are now well
beyond the 1000, 900 mark, and Penn
sylvania's are in excess of 5000, ,OOO
Illinois holds the third place, which
she gained in the census of 1890, when
she passed Ohio, and Ohio keeps the
fourth place, which she was put in
then. Missouri's present population is
3, l07, III. Texas gains the sixth place
which Massachusetts had in 1890,
Texas inhabitants at the present time
reaching 3,04S, 82S. Massachusetts, is
seventh on the present roll, and Indi-
ana, Michigan and Iowa following after
it in this order, each of these three
holding the same relative position
which it had in 1890. Several of the
States-Maine, Vermont, Kansas and
Nebraska-made very small gains in
population in the decade, while Ne
braska, which was at the foot of the
list in 1890, is in that place still, and
the gap between her and the next State
above has broadened, for Nevada,
alone among the States, has fallen off
in inhabitants in the decade.

Land and Water.

TT has been the experience, not of
one country or of one people or of one
time, but the experience of all countries
and of all people and all times, that
wherever is separated the ownership OF
the land and the water, stagnation of
development follows. That whenever
you unite the ownershipof the land and

water, the man who owns both is an
independent freeman, and then you
have conditions which create develop

WESTERN LOANS.

St. Johnsbury, June 2l.-There is
mourning in this town and vicinity
because a deputy United States Mar
shal has served two hundred subpoe-
naes upon the stockholders in the de-
funct Northwestern Guaranty Loan
company of Minneapolis to appear at
the session of the United States cir
cult court at Burlington July 2, to
show cause, if any, why they should
not be held liable for the double liza
bility on the stock of that compa-
ny.
The case is brought by William E.
Hale of Minneapolis receiver of the
defunct company, and will probably
be made a test question before the
court.
II will be remembered that last
year the stockholders received a no
tice from Mr.. Hale that hundred
per cent assessment had been made
and calling upon them, to settle OF
expect suit. He bases his ability tt
collect upon recent rulings of the
Massachusetts court.
The sum which this company took
out of Vermont for stock alone a
mounts to 1921, 900. If the stockhold
ers are required to double it, their
losses will aggregate nearly half a
million, and it is estimated that the
Vermont losses on investments IN
bonds and securities through the con
Germ will foot up over half mil
lion more. The biggest contribution
came from Caledonia county. The a
mount ,vas $4,000, of which St
Johnsb,iry people took $5a,o 900, 1t il

London, June 22.-Dispatches from
slaughter at peking. The soldiers and
Boxers are said to be massacring each
other, and the Chinese and Mantchoos
are also reported to be engaged in mu-
tual slaughter. Prince Tuan Is alleged
to have sacked and burned the palace,
killed, the dowager empress is represent
ed as missing, and in some quarters it
is believed that she has committed sui.
eide.
All this purports to have been contain
ed in letter from Pekng received by
high Chinese official at Shanghai. 1t
is hoped in Shanghai according to these
dispatches, that the desperate struggle
between the leaders of the different
mobs. alegedly for possession of the
vast treasures of the dowager empress,
will continue and prevent the sects COM
bining against the Europeans.
The most startling item was rumor
Of the death of Vice Admiral Seymour,
but no crcdence whatever is attached to
| it here.
The statement that Ii Hung Chang
has Cancelled his passage to Peking is
interesting. How he manages to disobey
the dowager empress urgent command
| is not clear, but evidently fear of revo'
luton at Canton in the event of his de-
parture induced the consuls to bring
strong pressure to bear
Admiral Bruce Reports.
The admiralty has received the follow
ing dispatch from Rear Admiral Bruce:
"Taku tvia Chefu), June 21.-No com

Tong Ku securely, and they will advance

cient strength. Troops are expected from
Hongkong tomorrow and 300 from Wei
| Hai-Wei the following day. 1t is be
lievCd that fighting is constantly proceed
