tof Texas, the population of the states
and territories west of the Mississippi
is about the same as the increase for
the whole country as shown by the
census. The population of Porto Rico
is not included in the increase and
Hawaii contributes but $4,000, SO that
normal growth.
The amount of increase is remark
able and wholly unexpected. Says the
Idirector of the census, William r. Mer-
riam:

TRY were surprised by the population
of the country as revealed by the CEN

reckoned that the decreased immigra-

increase, therefore, in inhabitants in
the last decade is 1925, 464.
What this remarkable increase
stands for in actual numbers of people
may be comprehended by imagining
its distribution over a given territory
The combined population of the great
and populous states of New York and
Pennsylvania has been duplicated
within fraction by the increase Of ten
years. Had Illinois, Ohio, Missouri

LETTER TO L. p. CASE,
BARTON. VT.

Dear Sir:There are several ways of cheating
IN milk An old-fashioned way is to water it
Nobody waters it now. A better way is to
take out the cream-rich milk with the cream
taken out is as good as poor milk with it's
cream all in.
But we needn't go into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and your custo-
mers.
Paint is as easy milk to cheat with
Good paint is as rare as good milk; for human
nature is much the same in milkmen and
paint men.
You are just and true with your mil {; so
are we with our paint. Devoe lead and zinc
is twice as good as pure white lead lasts
twice long. There's twice as much butter
in it.
Yours truly,

the territory of Arizona also has more
than doubled, having moved forward
from 5000 in 1890 to 122,212 in the
present year. Among other curiosities
of the present census may be mention
ed the following: New Hampshire,
which was long stationary, has uneX-

Growth of the Cities.
The census bulletin for cities pre-
pared under the direction of Mr.. VIII
liam G.. Hunt, chief statistician for
population, gives the population OF the
100 cities having $4,000 inhabitants or
more in 1900, according to the official
count of the returns of the twelfth
census, taken as of June 1, 1000.
The 159 cities combined have n popu-
lation in 1900 Of 19,694,625 as com
pared with a population for the same
cities of 14,S55.4S in 1890 and OF
1888. 1927 in 1880.
The absolute increase in the popula-
ton of these cities from 1890 to 1900
was 1880, 1876. or S2,426 less than the
absolute increase from 1880 to 1890,
when it was 4,921, 5G2. The percent
age of increase in population of the 159
cities from 1890 to 1900 was 32.5 as
against 49, from 1880 to 1890.
The combined population of the 159
cities at each of the three census
periods is distributed in table / by
classified sizes. giving. in addition. the
number of cities included under each
class respectively.

We thank Thee, Father, for song and for

The harvest that gIowed and the wealth

of the apathy among the Republi-
cans. According to his informa-
tion a great many Republicans will
not vote this year. He looks upon
Wisconsin as certain to give its
electoral vote to Mr.. Bryan, and, as
for New York, he sees Democratic
victory there. He says that Mr..
Croker tells him that New York
city will give the Democratic ticket
100000 majority, and every well
Informed politician knows that
such a majority as that cannot be

Capital Removal Question.

The editorial in THE STAR OF
August 31st, asking for information
in regard to donations, etc, in re-
gard to capital removal, fully ac-
complished the purpose it was in
tended for, as it has drawn out an
swers from both the Jacksonville
and st Augustine capital removal
associations; the reply of the Jack
sonville association was published
last week, while the reply of the
st. Augustine association will be
found in these columns this week.
1t is very evident that our article
was written with fairness to all
parties concerned, as it was pub
lished by the Tallahasseean, the
Times-Union and Citizen and in
several other state papers.
Gainesville having withdrawn
from the contest leaves Jackson
vile, st. Augustine and Ocala as
contestants against Tallahassee.
Up to the present time THE STAR
has not expressed itself editOrially
in favor of any place, believing the
question to be of such great import
ance as to demand our becoming
cOnversant with the facts in the
case before expressing a preference.
There have been SO many mislead-
ing statements made (we trust not
intentionaD that it has been quite
difficult to decide this matter. 1t
is unfortunate that such statements
have been circulated, as they may
have misled some people.
After carefully considering the
matter in all its various means and
ways we are convinced that the
capital should be moved, that now
is the time to definitely settle the
Question, and that jacksonville is
the proper place to locate it at; in
fact we regard the metropolis as the
only city that can win in the change
of location from Tallahassee, which
change is now a matter of necessity
10 be III cOnsOnance with the pres
ent population and taxable proper
ty of our state.
We have had the kindliest feel
ings and "A warm attachment for
the Ancient city, but as the matter
now stands Ocala and st. Angus
tine can only act as obstructionists
to jacksonville. In so doing they
are aiding Tallahassee in retaining
the capital, which they ought not
to do, and we hope they will both
follow the worthy example of
Gainesville, and give jacksonville
the field, in which case there will
be no doubt of the result.

We give space this week to the
letter from Mr.. Barrs anent the ar
ticle published last week taken
from the Key West lnter-Ocean.
Mr.. Barrs' explanation in this re-
gard is perfectly clear, but in our
editorial, referred to by the Inter
Ocean, we did not quote Mr. Bars.
consequently the misunderstand-
ing must he between Mr.. Apple
yard and Mr.. Bars. This letter
also shows plainly the manner in
which jacksonville will provide for
her donation, a matter which but
few ofthe people, aside from law
yers, understand. The last para
graph of Mr.. Bars letter corrects
information given us last week in
regard To the manner in which st.
Augustine's donation could be
raised, by stating a constitutional
amendment is necessary. An act
of the legislature is not sufficient.

4 SUBSCRIBER TO THE STAR in
this county was very much sur
prised at the "AccessiOns to Bry-
an" as published in our columns
last week, and wanted to known
if all the converts mentioned were
real ones. On being told that they
were genuine, and only a few were
mentioned among the great mum
ber, he could hardly realize the
true state of affairs as they are
transporting throughout the coun-
try today-sO many prominent Re
publicans repudiating Mckinley
and his war policy, and pledging
support to Bryan, the Democratic
leader; so we give another column
of fresh accessions To Mr.. Bryan
this week, believing this will be
the most convincing evidence We
can possibly give in favor of De-
mocracy being the winner in natl
Onal politics this year.
