ing it, In the course Of his statement Mr..

The allegation of discrimination appears
to be Unfounded in view of the fact that
sugars coming from other bounty paying

to additional duties under said section ),
and that, unless the above stated conclu-
sion of this department is reversed by a
competent tribunal the exemption of Rus
sian sugars from additional duty would
rightly be regarded by the other bounty
paying countries uiScTimina ton

ton Of the matter to the Russian govern

pJlted order of the Russian minister of
finance will be revoked.

POPULATION OF VIRGINIA.
An Increase of IL Per Cent i'm the L.x,
Ten Years.

Ten Years.
The census office has issued bulletin
giving the population of Virginia by coun-
ties and minor civil divisions.
The population Of the state in 1900 Is
l,s54, 1s4, as against 1855 $50 in 1890. rep
resenting an increase since 1890 of 1875, oo4
or II per cent. This rate of increase is
greater than that for the decade immedi-
ately preceding. when 1t was 9.5 per cent
though not so large as that for the ten
years from 1870 to 1880, when it was go
per cent, the highest rate Of increase shown
at any census. The original state of Vir-
glnla from which the states of Virginia and
West Virginia were subsequently formed
had a population Of TAI, $40 in 1790, and this
was increased by 1872, 900, or III per cent
during the ensuing ten years. At no sub
seQuent census, save that of 1880, has this
rate been equaled, while that of 1910 show
ed gain Of only % per cent over the
populatio of 1880. During the decade from
1860 to 1870 the state Of West Virginia was
organized, which caused a decrease to ap-
pear In the population Of Virginia for that
decade of 81, 155. or 1913 per cent, but the
loss In population from this cause was
largely regained during the next ten years.
The total land surface Of Virginia is ap-
proximately, 4O,125 square miles, the aver
age number OF persons to the square mile
at the censuses Of 1890 and 1900 being as
follows: 1890, Alb; 1900. 1862.
Table 2 shows the population of Virginia
by counties at each census from 1T0O to
1900, Inclusive. while table g. which imme-
diately follows, shows, for each county, the
Increase (or decrease) by number and per
cent during the ten years from 1880 to
1900.
OF the 100 counties In the state GO have
increased in population during the decade,
those showing the largest percentage of IN
crease being Wise, 11O.3 per cent; Allie
ghany, 75.9 per cent; Buchanan, 65.2 per
cent; Dickinson. 52.6 per cent; Northamp-
ton. 3S.5 per cent. and Smyth, 2&2 per
cent
The counties that have decreased in pop
ulatton during the decade number "a those
showing the largest percentage Of decrease
being Henrico, 7O.9 per cent; Alexandria,
65.4 per cent; Roanoke. 47.4 per cent; Camp.
bell, 43.4 per cent; Spottsylvania, 85.1 per
cent James City, S4.6 per Get; Norfolk. SAL;
per cent; Chesterfield, 2S.8 per cent: War
wick, 265 per cent, and Frederick 20 per
cent. In all except two Of these cases, how
ever, the decrease Is due wholly to the fact
that the cities of the state are now inde.
pendent Of the counties In which they are
situated geographically, whereas in 1880
the population Of these cities, with the ex-
cephon of Petersburg, was included as a
part Of the population Of the several coun-
ties.
The counties showing decrease In popu-
lation due to causes other than that above
referred to are Amelia, Bedford, Charles

sixth congress. bills introduced in
both houses by and at tn request OF
Mr.. Perea.
This enumeration does not take ac.
count of the many statehood bills
that were introduced i'm one or the
other of the houses in the half a cen.
fury that has passed since the organ.
ization of the territory, but which
were Dot reported. Nor does II take
account of the historical fact that as
long ago as 1850. when the organic
act of the territory was passed, New
Mexico took II upon herself to elect
two United States senators and a rep
re~sentative and sen them on to con.
gress away over the plains and
through the hostile Indians. and had
them demand to be admitted into con.
gress as representing the state of
New Mexico. The congress kept the
representative as a delegate and sent
the would.be senators home.
The people of New Mexico must
have had an idea for some few years
that they were fitted for statehood. or
else they were foolish to so persis.
tently keep trying for admission? It
Is surely time that we should be a
sovereign state OF the American
union. and we will be in this next
congress. II We 20 after II hard

FEAR.

1t Is a cowardly fear that some
mossbacks in this territory have. that
something awful would happen II New
Mexico should become a part OF the
United States. What could happen?
Would the ignorant and il~literate
among us run our state government?
II there is any ground for that fear,
why don't that happen now? Why
hasn't il happened during the last
half century? II hasn't happened
and IL will not happen, because the
intelligence and brains Of every state
runs its government. We have in
New Mexico ten thousand young men
such as made up Rooseyelt's Rough
Riders. The vice president knows
that any territory that sent such men
as New Mexico did TO the war, Is Mt
TO be a state, and he is for statehood
for New Mexico. II Is needless TO say
that every man that enlisted In the
late war Is heart and soul for state
hood.

New Use for Electricity.

A professor recently discovered
that electricity is a stlmulant for the
brain. We do not wish to dispute
the merits of this discovery but are
inclined to think that the only natural
stimulant for the brain Is sleep. II
you are not able to sleep you are
certainly In a bad way. 1t is usually
caused by the stomach being ont of
order, the disturbance being commu-
nicated to the brain. Keep the stom-
ach In good condition by the use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and you
will have insomnia no longer. II Is
a splendid medicine for strengthening
the nerves and will cure dyspepsia, in.
digestion, constipation and bilious
ness, As a spring tonic 1t has no
equal. See that our private evenu
stamp is over the neck Of the bottle.

Meetinu Last Niuht.


The annual stockholders meeting
Of the Mutual Building association

ton implies. IL is a building institu-
ton and concentrates its efforts to-
ward assisting the building of homes
for people of moderate income, plac-
ing the money of the stockholders
in small amounts, mostly in new i'm
provements. enabling the borrower to
acquire a home OF very small monthly
payments, and the low rate OF interest
at which money Is loaned by the as
sociation makes IL nor of n mutual
company than n vehicle for specula-
ton for the capitalist. The borrow.
or OF money In this association at the
interest rate of 10 per cent has no
heavy burden to carry. and with the
earnings of his stock secures the ben.
eft of the mutual combination. The
association at present has nothing on
its books that Is not earning money
and all loans are made with a view
Of protecting and assisting the pres
ent stockholders, who are prospective
borrowers. and those already using
the associations money. The follow.
ing board of directors was elected
