Of immigration during the past five
years is chiefly responsible. This
estimate is somewhat higher than
that made by the chief clerk Of the
census bureau. who places the total

Of the years of hard times and bus.
mess depression that have been in
cluded in the decade, Colonel Hin
ton believes that the increase in
the wealth of the country since
1890 will prove to be phenomenal.
And here he makes the interesting
statement that while there has been
great concentration Of wealth in the
manufacturing or mercantile sec
tions, the producing states-thatis,
agricultural and mining-will show
these fortunate conditions: A great
decrease in debt carrying, a con-
siderable increase of wealth from
productive and not exploitive
sources, and notable addition to
the middle'range Of property and
wealth holders. In short, he is con.
WINGED that in the west and south
there is less debt and more homes.
with farms which, if smaller in
value, are more secure in character.
II is predicted that results will
show that the country has not
alone advanced amazingly in com.
merce and manufacture, as our an
nual treasury statements have
shown, but that our future is as.
sured by the most desirable Of all
national conditions-the largest
measure of genuine prosperity in
those communities which depend
more on natural sources than upon
commercial or manufacturing ac-
tivities. In this connection Col.
Hinton declares that the greatest
proportionate gains in population
will be found in such sections,
with the trans. Missouri growth at
least 40 per cent, and the Missi,s-
ippi valley, with the new west. %
holding three-ffths of the entire
gain in population within the de-
clde. Galveston News.

Mission Not Made Public.

Louisville, Ky. March 19.-The two
governors of Kentucky were enter
tanned in this city Sunday. Messrs.
Taylor and Beckham both insisted
that they had come TO Louisville on
purely personal business, and that
their visits had no political signifi-
canoe. They spent the day quietly,
though both received numerous calls
from their poli.'cal and personal
friends.
Taylor and his associates among
the republican party leaders are very
close mouthed as to the nature of the
mission on which Surveyor of the
Port {. NJ. Barnett and Collector of
Internal Revenue Sapp left for Wash

conference with Taylor, but there is
little doubt il has to do with the at
titude of the national administration

The latter do not conceal their pur-
pose to hold onto their positions UNI
til the United States supreme court
has passed upon the question of their
right to hold them. They do not in
tend to surrender the state buildings
and records after a decision by the
state court of appeals, if that court
should decide against them. There
has been some talk that the demo
cratic officers may try to exercise
their functions i'm earnest IN case they
are upheld by the court of appeals.
which they regard as the court of
last resort in their cases. and il is be-
lieved the republicans wish TO know
the feeling of the national leaders of
their party toward their policy.
