There has been an increase in the
total population since the last CEN
sus of 13,233,6 1881, or 81 per cent. OF
this increase, 8,744,l79 consisted of
males, an increase of 200 per cent.
and 6,4s9,452 were females, an in
crease of 2l.1 per cent.
AS regards nativity, it appears that
81, ,843,3O2 persons we're native-born
and 10, ACC, ,085 were born abroad. The
foreign-born element in the popula-
tion comprised 1877 per cent. in 1900,
as compared with 14.7 per cent. in
1890, a decrease, as will be seen, for
the decade. In respect to color and
race, it is shown that the population
in 1900 was made up of 66,99O, 1902
white perssns and 9,3l2,5S5 persons of
color. In the latter classification are
embraced Chinese, Japanese and In
dians, as well as Negroes. There
were 8,840, ,789 persons of Negro de-
scent, 1l9,o5O Chinese, IS, $50 Japanese
and 266, 100 Indians. The Indians and
Chinese appear to be fewer than in
1880, while the Negroes and Japanese
show an increase. The white popula-
tion shows an increase of II 1924 ,6l8, or
2l.4 per cent. since 1890, and the
colored lelement an increase of L.
400, ,0l3, or l7.8 per cent. The colored
element in the population constituted
1873 per cent. of the total in 1900, as
compared with 1876 per cent. ten
years before, slight relative decline
for the decade. Persons of Negro
descent increased by 1885,, 1000, or 1871
per cent. while the Japanese showed
an increase of u, ,5S7, or 1912 per
cent. On the other hand, the Chinese
exhibited loss of 7,72S, or 81 per
cent. and the Indians were fewer by
2.5 per cent.-Public Opinion.

A GREAT FINISH.

John D. Rockefeller, who is now
doubtless the richest man in America,
was once a newsboy, calling papers
from early morning until late at
night. Now he gives away millions.
His advice is:' "Get all the money
you can fairly and justly, then give
away all you can. The poorest man
l know is the man who has nothing
but money. If some young men are
easily discouraged I hope they may
gain encouragement and strength
from my story. 1t is long, rough
road at first, but like the ship on the
ocean, you must lay your course for
the place where you hope to land and
take advantage of all favoring cir
cumstances. You must begin at the
foot of the ladder and work your way
up."-Ex.

SEX OF POPULATION.

In the population of the United
States males still continue to be in
excess of females, as they have been
any time this half century. As
shown by the final census report on
sex, nativity and color in the popula-
ton, the males numbered 39,059, A2
and the females 37,A4,145. To ex-
press the relations proportionately,
the males constituted 5l.2 per cent
and the females 4S.S per cent. of the
total population. The proportion of
females is a shade larger than in
1890, but smaller than any preceding
date for half a century, as will be
seen by reference of the following

\ PAIR OF COMPARISONS
In SECOND WARD POLITICS

Apart from the fact that it should
realize how utterly fruitless must be
any attempt to tear down Aid. Charles
Heidemann's record in the council.
one would imagine that the Union
would avoid reference to Second ward
politics as far as possible. Particu-
larly when it comes to linking Boney
Johnson's name with the ward in
terests. First and above ALL Mr..
Heidemann has made pains taking,
alderman, and has been
a credit to the ward. Boney John
son, on the other hand. distinguished
his career chiefly by boosting Frank
Blair's railroad schemes in the coun-
Gil and championing them at all
stages OF the game.
The main offense that Mr.. Heide-
mann has committed in the estima-
tion of the Union was in joining with
other democratic aldermen. in a con-
ference at Hon. William McEniry's
Office that was seeking to prevent
Mayor McConochie from the whole
sale removal of good men from office
and the establishment of an abso-
lutely one-sided administration. Those

citizen engaged in the liquor business
described the situation the day after
Mr.. Knox's denomination when
he said, 1--WE did not know when
we came down in the morning
how many times we would be closed
and opened before noon. 1t all de-
pended upon who had the mayors ear
last. One day he would be on one
side OF the fence and the next day he
would be somewhere else, and the
misery of his Hopping about only
came to an end when he saw safely
through the council the revelation of
the ordinance that brought the mu-
nicipal regulation of saloons under the
state law"
When City Responsibility Was Dropped.
Thus it was that the ordinance
which gave the protection of the
state in the regulation of the saloons
passed from the municipal statute
books under the administration of
Mayor Knox. 1t seems difficult to
conceive how in the face of this rec
ord anyone who really desires the re-
establishment of moral regulations, if
he is sincere in that desire, could hes

day-the man with the specific plat
form, or the man without one, the
man who has the courage to publicly
declare himself on vital questions or
the man who has not.
It's mp to the People.
The sum and substance of it all is
that in one case the candidate is
boond and in the other be is not. Aud,
if after the situation has thus been
placed before the people, the major
ity of them repudiate the platform
theory, we should certainly hear no
more in Rock Island about political
parties taking an open stand on ques-
tions that deal directly with the OBJ
iectionable elements in community.
One of the local political parties has
faced the issue and taken it up.
1t is for the people, to whom the
question involved should be of
greater concern than it is to any
political party, to show whether they
are willing to face aud accept that
same issue.

things that Aid. Heidemann and his
associates sought most to avoid were
the removal without cause of Supt.
John Murrin from the waterworks SUI
perintendency and the placing of the
same in incompetent hands and the re-
turn of Chief Miller to the control of the
moral conditions of the city. In both
of these laudable undertakings MIR.
Heidemann failed. but he is not to be
blamed OH that account. although the
people have had the consequence
of the McConochie determination TO
run things single-handed.
Then to bring Second ward politics
down nearer to present day happen
ings. the people there are just now

way on Aid. Mack Snyder's Market
square saloon harbor for the opposi-
ton element to the only platform
now before the people of Rock Island.
And when it comes to reference
either to Mir. Heidemanu's former or
present colleague in the council, he
may well feel that the advantages of
the comparison are all his.
