MEN AND AFFAIRS

The new census report for New
Hampshire covers the entire last half
century and reveals the fact that man
ufacturing in that time has supplanted
agriculture as the leading branch of
industry Speaking of the progress thus
shown it is stated that "It becomes the
more striking when compared with the
slow growth of population. Since 1850
the population has increased only 80
per cent, but the average number of
wage earners has increased from 27,092
to 70,491, a gain of 159 per cent" The
greatest growth is also shown in boots
and shoes, the product of 1890 having
been valued at a little more than half
of the value of that of 1900.
I The personality of the sultan of Tur-
/ key is much misrepresented, it is said.
He possesses a sensitave nature and his
domestic affections are said to be
istrong. His powers of work are excep-

lulants, except an occasional cup of cof-
fee and a cigaret. His dress is simple

ion and a white waistcoat, with a gold
watch chain.

1t will do prospective candidates for
city offices good perhaps to realize that
their party service and loyalty is not
enough to get for them the support of
the voters or Of the newspapers of the
city The voters should pick from the
list presented the best men for alder
men and councilmen without consider
ing the party affiliations of the candi-
dates. That principle will tend to
make the Republican organization
guard their party against cheap, ig-
norant and useless men.

! There is only too much reason for

It may be that one thing which has
given Philadelphia a reputation for
"slowness" in other cities is the indis-
position of her citizens to stampede on
a false alarm. The tragedy which in
iured many persons in a Louisville
theatre on Tuesday could scarcely have
occurred in this city. The writer of
this personally witnessed at least two
false alarms of fire in Philadelphia
theatres last season, but on both oc-
casions the audiences had steady
