THE sALOONkE.;PERs IN COUNCIL.

The SALOON II E.IkEhS IN COtNOIL
1t requires tremendous gall on the
part of the Fourteenth street organ to
lay the appointment of four saloon
keepers on the Council Committee on
Petitions and "Reminiscences at the
door of the Democrats in Council.
The alliance between the Republican
insurgents" and the Democrats was
for political purposes only and for no
other. In matters of routine business
such as this and outside of politics the
Republicans control Council by ma
jority on joint ballot.
How these saloonkeepers were put on
this committee no one seems to know.
1t was evidently done surreptitiously.
At any rate, it does not appear that
there was any protest from the Repub-
lican majority in Council when the
announcement of this committee was
made. And it is certain that the DEM
ocrats who originally demanded only
fair representation on certain commit
tees-of which the committee in ques-
ton was NOT one-had nothing to do
with the committee appointments,
which, otherwise, were left in the
hands of the Committee on Commit
tees chosen by the Republican major
ity, who alone are responsible and
have the remedy in their own hands if
they don't like their own work.
No part of the responsibility is On
the Democratic minority, but rests
wholly with the Republicans who are
in the majority and may conduc.. the
routine affairs of Council as they
please.
For the Intelligencer therefore to
lay the sole blame on the Democrats
exhibits a degree of brazen impudence
and cheek that is amazing even in that
INSCRIPTIONS and hypocritical organ.

AT last we are getting at
the secret of Mr.. McKinleys appoint
ment of Funston to brigadier gener-
alship in the face of the opposition
of the War Department. Adjutant
General Corbin reveals certain disclos-
ures made by Congressman Long, of
Kansas, whence Funston halls, to the
effect that Kansas politicians had de-
sired that the gallant military hero be
provided for in some way so that he
would be gotten rid of as guberna-
torial possibility. Which, it is limited,
is the secret Of the Presidents action.
By the way, isn't Gen. Corbin afraid
something will happen to him for thus
exposing his chief. The President has
a smooth way of disposing of his enc
mics as well as rewarding his friends.

DROP IN THE PRICE OF LEAD.

Denver. Col, April 1.-THE News
says; THE local manager of the
Smelter trust has announced that the
selling price for lead has been reduced
from 50 to $500, and mine operators
look for II still further reduction. The
price is fixed arbitrarily by the trust.
The 81 rate has been in effect for
over a year. The mine owners en-
tered into an agreement with the
trust to accept the 81 rate regardless
of the market price of lead, which at
that time was above 81. The agree
ment expired January 1, and the trust
now claims that on account of over
production it is unable to maintain
the "a rate.

MUCH CHI AptR ARMuk PLATE.
a N Experiment which. IL successtu1.
Will Cut the Price of Armor
Plate To $50 a Ton.

New York, April IA special to
she Herald from Washington says:
Armor plate for naval vessels may
be sold TO the government for only
$3.50 a ton, and the manufacturers
may make fair profit at that price.
An experimental plate, manufac-
tured by an entirely new process, has
recently been shipped from Pitts
burgh to the naval ordnace proving
ground, at Indian Head. to be sub
jected TO the regulation ballistic
test. Upon the result of this test will
depend further experiments, which
may result in the adoption by the gov
eminent of this new ormor instead
of that for which the navy depart
ment is now paying at the rate of
S455 a ton.
If the new armor is a success and
can be sold at $3.50 ton. il will mean
a saving to the government of S305
on each ton of armor. On battle
ship of the Alabama class, carrying
$500 tons of armor, this would mean
clear saving to the government of
$4,000.

GERMANS ON THE INCREASE.
Returns of the Last Census show the
Population of the Empire to
He 100000

The United States census Office has
received through the state depart
ment a consular report on the popula-
ton of the German empire and its
changes during the last century. The
population is now about $4,000, 600,
larger than any other country in Eu-
rope except Russia, which has in Eu-
rope alone over 100000, 900 subjects, or
nearly twice as many as Germany.
In 1899 the whole German empire had
a population of about 10000, 900. and
at the close of the Napoleonic wars in
1915 Germany, though somewhat re-
duced in size, had population of some
thing more than 30,000.000. In 1915,
since which date the area has re-
manned almost constant, Germany had
$4,000, 900; in 1868, 10000, 900; in 1888,
81 900. 900, and in 1900, about s.. SOC, 900,
an increase during the century of
about 30.000,0 900.
Since 1871, when the modern Ger
man empire was organized, the popula-
tion of Germany has increased about
35 per cent, growth extremely rapid
for an old country. and for one send
ing out large and steady streams of
emigrants. The Germans felt natu-
raj pride in the rapid growth of their
population, says the report, compared
with that of their rival across the
Rhine. In 1S45 France had about sc,
600 900 inhabitants and Germany a.
600, 900. Now France has about SO ,00O, :
600, or only two-thirds the number in
Germany.
The provisional results of the CEN
sus of Vienna, taken December 81. 1900.
have just been announced and accord
ing to a report from the consul gen
eral at Vienna showed a population of
1856, 647, or nearly g. 900 less than
there were in Chicago when the re-
cent census of that city was taken.
These figures show Vienna to rank
next after London, Paris and Berlin
among the European capitals, while
in this country only New York and Chi
cago are larger. During the last ten
years Vienna has increased 21.9 per
cent, or slightly faster than the
average of the whole United States.
Few large cities in this country do not
show larger rate. OF the two Amer
lean cities larger than Vienna, Greater
New York increased in ten years 81 8
per cent and Chicago 54.4 per cent.
In common with most large cities.
the population residing in the central
districts of Vienna is slowly decreas-
ing and the most rapid growth is in
the outskirts of the city.
