THE DEMOCRATS AND

louisville Post)
The partisan Democratic organs in
dulge in strange comment on the
Presidents movements to enforce the
antitrust laws, considering they have
led the chorus of antitrust shouters.
They can no longer question the sim
cerity of the administration, but they
take peculiar delight in picturing the
President as in danger Of wrecking his
personal fortunes and splitting his
party. They are predicting failure in
the efforts to enforce the law and
the opposition of large element of
his own party. II is evident that
they are hoping and praying for
failure. They are greatly disturbed
by the possibility that he may sue
coed.

righted issues, the extreme par
tisans who have been most strenuous
opponents of the trusts have suddenly
lost the power to express an opinion.
They are no longer so aggressive in
their war of words against the &C.
topus. Perhaps they are dazed by
the more definite policy of action from
an unexpected source.
1t is evident that many Of the or
gans prefer to have nothing done to
interfere with the meat trust, or any
other trust, unless it is to be done
by the Democrats. They
see the people bear the Burdens they
have long denounced rather than
see them relieved in such a manner as
to give political advantage to the Re-
publicans.

iTALYs POPULATION INCREASING.

Europe That Is Growing.

Almost the Only Latin country IN
Europe That Is Growing.
Italy Is almost the only Latin coun-
try in Europe which shows a steady
growth Of population. France has for
years been on the decline. but latest
statistics show it is nearly stationary
the death and birth rates being nearly
equal The returns Of the recent cen
sus in Italy are now published and
they show a gratifying though not ex-
traordinary growth OF population IN
the peninsula. despite the large emil
grafton and the hard times which have
prevailed there in late years. In
round numbers the population Of Italy
is now S2,5OO,OOO. That is an increase
Of more than 100000 in the last 20
years. That is not a large increase,
but 1t is, on the whole, satisfactory. IL
is not. of course, the whole increase OF
the Italian race In these 20 years
more than 1000 900 Italians have emil
grated to other lands. The actual
growth of the race has, therefore. been
more than 100000 in 20 years, or
more than / per cent year.
This does not. however. confirm the
common idea that the Italians are an
exceptionally prolific race. The growth
Of other nations has been proportion
ately more rapid. That Of France mas
not been. That Of Russia has been ef-
fected by conquest and wholesale an
nexation. That OF the United states
has been due to enormous immigra-
ton. as wen as to a high birth rate.
But while Italy in. the 18th century In
creased from il, 900 600 to 32.5oO,ooO o.
only a little more than doubled Greai
Britain grew from 100000 TO 4l'oVo'

suffered as great loss from wars al
Italy and a considerably greater loss
through emigration.

what is known as combination num-
bers, and with others draw the larger
prizes. II requires three numbers to
form a combination, and these num-
bers, with the articles they draw, are
TO be found on the bulletin boavd in
front of the store. The first two rows
of numbers are common, as there are
rs or 100 of them, but the last row Of
numbers or the third in the combina-
ton, are the key" numbers, and
there is only one each of them.
Every ticket with "combination"
should be retained in order that none
may be lost and the prizes all given
out.
This is Cairo day at the carnival
and there are hundreds OF Illinois
people mixing with the thousands Of
others, enjoying the sights. The sud-
den change in the temperature was
most gratifying, and brought out
much larger crowds.

Detzel, Walter shepafd. John Theo-
bold, James weille, J. Z. English,

tiers, Jr., @. Rinklif, r. Rudy.
The spielers are part Of the carni-
val, and their antics and speeches are
funnier than any of the strange things
from strange lands. II is really anus
ing to see the friends Of some Of the
Paducsh Elks gather about them as
they mount the platform and 70 to
shouting through a megaphone. They
are all right so long as they don't get
ratified.
The police take little stock in the
reports Of robberies. The trouble with
great many visitors is that they get
drunk and lose or spend their money,
and tell the police they had their
pockets picked, so it will get into the
papers and they will have a plausible
story to take home TO their families.
There was plenty of confetti to suit
the most fsstidious last night. IL was

good citizens are still busy disgorging.
