The population returns published by the
Census Bureau have been productive of
some surprise and much comment in con
neet1on with some OF their features. For
example. the figures relating to popuIa
ton in the agricultural as compared with
the industrial States, are calculated to
overset a theory. rather widespread of
late years, that old manufacturing Com
nonwealths in New England were gain
lug nothing if they were not steadily los
ing inhabitants On the contrary they
show increases greater than those in some
OF The Western States which. during the
decade OF 1SS0-90 made tremendous strides
in population.
The statistics show that while. since
1899. the population Of Ohio has increased
1872 per cent. and that of Iowa 1871 per
cent, that of Massachusetts, has increased
over . per cent The growth IN the
strictly agricultural States Of Kansas and
Nebraska has been very small II one

Confidence In Bryan's Election.

The following paragraph is from
the Bloomington Paragraph, repu b.
lican paper:

ed in the Paragraph signed state.
ment to the effect that if anyone
would erect certain buildings upon
his farm he would agree to pay dou-
BILE the price for the same in case Nc.
Kinley is elected in Novem Der, OF
nothing at all if Bryan is elected.
Mr.. Maloney has reported as yet nc
takers for his wager, nor is he likely
to get any, owing to the form in
which it is put. To one who is ac-
quainted with the law on the subject
il is evident that no matter what con-
tract Mr.. Maloney may agree to sign.
the one who puts up the buildings on
Maloney's farm would take all the
risk in the matter. If one Of the
buildings were up and Mckinley elect
ed and Mr.. Maloney should choose to
refuse payment of the double price
for the buildings as he agrees to, the
builder would have no legal recourse
to collect the double price. The law
recognizes no bet, and therefore Ma
loney's proposition as put in his
printed statement will probably wait
long for takers. However. if Mr..
Maloney chooses to mortgage his farm
and deposit the amount equal to the
double price of his desired buildings
with responsible party there is little
doubt of it's being covered quickly
and at big odds"
The Bloomington Bulletin, demo-
cratic. thinks the Paragraph is un-
fair to Mr.. Maloney, one of the most
influential citizens of that section,
and a lifelong republican, who cam
not 60 Imperialism. and is so conf
dent of Bryan's election that he
shows his faith by the proposition he
makes. The Bulletin says:
The Bulletin is grieved TO see the
reflect upon Mr.. Ma
loney's integrity, particularly as the
latter is a lifelong republican and
grand army man, and one of the most
influential citizens in the vicinity of
Farmer City. Mr.. Malonev voted for
four years ago. but is so
strongly in favor of repu blican form
Of government that he cannot sup
port the monarchiai program"
