Mr.. Bryan has recovered enough from
the solar plexus blow which he got
Tuesday to make statement He says
he was surprised, but he generously ad-
mits that it is not likely that the wide
spread increase in the Republican vote
was due to the purchase of votes and
colonization" 1t looks to him as If
the prosperity argument and the idea
of standing by the President while the
war is on had a good deal of influence.
They did.
After explaining his defeat Mr. Bryan
says some things that are really inter-
esting. For instance he gives the as
surance that he will continue to take
an active interest in politics as long as
he lives, and that he will not be a can
didate for United States senator Many
would like to know just what Mr.. Bry-
an means when he says he will con-
tinue to take an active interest in poll
tics as long as he lives. Does he mean
that he intends to boss another ma
tional convention, or a half dozen of
them? If that is his meaning, and if
he can carry it out the Republican
party and the country too will owe him
a vote of thanks, for he will do much
to make sound and safe government
necessity But it can hardly be that he
means to be a candidate again. He
has had his share of nomina tons, and
he should be and probably is willing to
give somebody else a chance.

IN INTERESTING STUDY.
The Growth of Population In This
INSTRUMENTATION Represents


To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
The announcement, from the figures
of the completed census, of the popula-
ton by States and the prospective In
crease In the basic of representation to
approximately two hundred thousand
population for each congressional dis
trict affords opportunity for an inter-
esting comparative study of the devel-
opment of the different States.
When the machinery of the govern
ment was first set in motion in 1889 the
representation of the several States in
the first congress was tentative and
based on an estimate of what the popu-
lation then was. The total number
composing the national house of rep
resentatives was sixty-five, and 1T was
estimated that each was the representa-
tive Of about thirty thousand popua-
ton.
Under this temporary apportionment
Virginia led with ten, Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania followed with eight
each, New York and Maryland were
each granted six. Connecticut, North
and South Carolina each were given
five. New Jersey was apportioned
four, New Hampshire and Georgia each
had three, while Rhode Island and Del
aware had only one EACH The con-
gress which met in December, 1893, was
composed of 105 members apportioned
according to the first census of 1890, at
the ratio Of one member to $4,000 of pop
ulation.
f,,e tn, ba qua
congress were: New York four, North
Carolina and Pennsylvania five each,
Virginia nine, Connecticut and Mary
land two EACH Massachusetts six, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island
and South Carolina one each. Two
new States, Kentucky and Vermont
each with two representatives, had been
admitted, while Georgia lost one repre-
sentative.
The second census, taken in 1900,
showed quite an increase of population,
but the ratio was kept at $4,000; so
there was then 141 members; the most
marked gains We're in the States which
were already in the lead The rank Of
the States, as shown by their represent
tatives, was Virginia with twenty-five,
Pennsylvania eighteen, Massachusetts
and New York seventeen each, North
Carolina thirteen the remaining States
all having nine or less. Included IN
this latter class was Connecticut with
seven.
The third census in 1910 showed an
increase of population of over two mil
lion, and with the ratio raised to about
$4,000, the number of representatives
was increased to ISL. This was the

LIFE IN CHICAGO,

Chicago continues to make progress
toward being a place where one can
live forever II he can put up with the
surroundings. This time the talk is
that the marked decrease in the number
of deaths from typhoid since June 1898,
when the Twelfth and Twenty-second
street sewers were diverted from the
lake to the South Branch of the river,
furnishes some idea of the invaluable
benefits that will accrue to the entire
city when the comprehensive drainage
system contemplated by the projectors
of the sanitary canal is completely car
ried out. In nine months after these
connections We're made there was an
tary quality OF the water as compared
with the same period the year before.
The improvement, as shown by chemi-
cal analyses has extended to all the
cribs. At Fourteenth street the percen-
chemists of the health department as
low as rs per cent. in October, 1898. In
October, 1899, it was rated at 90 per
cent, while in October, 1900, it was de-
clared to be 100, or absolutely pure, The
reductions in the number of deaths from
typhoid are even more significant,
amounting to A per cent. in 1900 from
1899 and 514 per cent. in 1900 from 1898.
The total number of deaths for last Oc-
tober was 1902, which Is monthly
death rate of 106, the lowest October
death rate in ten years.
At this rate it wont be long before
those in Chicago who want to die will
have to commit suicide by going to St.
Louis or some such place.

The New York Stock Exchange is
active enough just now, but it was so
dull there during most of the campaign
which has happily ended that the brok-
ers had difficulty In maintaining their
wonted cheerfulness. However, they
haven't been as badly off, even in their
dullest times, as are the brokers who do
business, or do not do business, in the
Stock Exchange of Vienna. A special
committee Of the Vienna Stock Ex-

BILE report to the Austrian Ministry OF
Finance, directing attention to the
steady and alarming decrease in the
volume of the business done at the Elk
change, This is ascribed in part to the
domestic political situation The legis-
lative deadlock has caused stagnation
in industry and commerce, whereas in
other countries there has been an un-
precedented development of trade. The
report complains of the effect of anti
capitalist tendencies, which represent

pear that we should be entitled to an

Peanuts are ripe and consequently
there are busy times in eastern Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, where the
principal part of the American peanut
crop is raised, though Nebraska and
Louisiana are also beginning to culti-
waite this profitable nut. In reality the
so-called peanut of Virginia is the
goober, while the real peanut, which is
grown in North Carolina and Tennes-
see, is smaller, sweeter and richer, and
sells for from 10 to Is cents peck more
than the COOLERS. The peanuts proper

peanut is planted early in the spring
and q field of them bears a close re-
semblance to clover field except that
they grow in rows like potatoes and
are cultivated in a similar way. The
harvesting is done by a peculiar kind
of pillow and the vines, with the nuts
attached, are piled up in stacks and
frequently yield from fifty to seventy
five bushels per acre. The picking is
done about three weeks after the har
vesting and all the work is performed
by hand. The vine is excellent food
for mules, while hogs are turned into

the operations in a certain street, "
says New York writer. First, it was
repaved with Belgian blocks, every one

paved with asphalt. Thirdly, it was re-
paved with asphalt. Fourthly, it was
attacked by a gang of prediction
Italians, who cut q slice four feet wide
straight down the middle, removing
asphalt, Belgian blocks and earth to a
depth of some six feet In the mean
time huge mains in sections had been
dumped along the gutter. The removed
earth, piled along the edge of the ditch
was hauled off in carts. After four
days 1t was hauled back again and

vice to take the place of the warning
bell which now announces the entrance
of a customer into many small shops
1t is called "the musical doorkeeper."
AS its name implies, it announces the
coming of a visitor by sounding a tune
as the door is opened. Another tune is
sounded when the door is closed, so
that one can always tell whether it has
been opened or shut. One can also tell
by the quick or slow succession of the
sounds whether the door has been
opened or shut rapidly or slowly. In
addition, it is possible to change the
device so that fresh tunes may be sub
Htituted when desired.

Settles Mccarthy.

Butte, Nov. 1.-Jerry Mccarthy, In
dependent candidate for sheriff, was
again knocked out today, when the
court inquired into the insufficiency of
the petitions filed in connection with
his nomination. This was the third
time that McCarthy's case has been
court, and each time the court ruled
against him. This, however, was the
first time that the petitions them
selves, which were alleged to have
been forged, were brought in.
Judge Lindsay carefully examined
the petitions, the names upon which
were in some cases clear forgeries.
The court said that the petitions did
not conform with the law in a great
many respects and therefore McCar-
thy loses aagin. Probably this will
settle the matter.

Bodies Identified.

Livingston, Nov. 1.-The unidentifi-
ed bodies of the two women who were
killed in the wreck on the Northern
Pacific, last Sunday night, have at last
been identified. The old lady who
took the train at Warm Springs was
identified as Mrs. M. Earnest, of Miles
City, who lived on ranch six miles
from that city. She leaves four chill
dren besides mother, Mrs. Butts and
sister; and Mrs. Cline, all of Miles
City. Mrs. Earnet was subject to
spells of insanity and for the past II
years has frequently been confined
in the asylum at Warm Springs. The
remains were shipped to Miles City.
The body of the young lady who took
the train at Missoula has been identi-
fled as Mrs. c. H. Monterrey, of Dick
ey, N. d. A mileage book which the un-
fortunate woman purchased at Miles
City was discovered among the wreck
age yesterday which finally led to the
identification. The remains were
shipped to North Dakota this even.
