Comparisons made by the director
of the census based upon the COM
.pleted statistics reveal tn: somewhat
astonishing fact that the population
of the South is now increasing more
rapidly than that of the North.
Prior to the war the North doubled
its population every twenty years
and the south did not do two thirds
as we'll. During the, last twenty
years the ratios of increse have been
slowly experimenting while the West
has shown great percentages. But
with the figures of the last census it
is seen that, while the. West leads,
the South is second and the North
(which also includes the East) is
third. The difference, however, is
so slight as to warrant the assertion
that ratio of increase is now an
average for.all; sections of the ooun-
try, and tits probable that. the mkt

StE3S In the midst of our present pros
perity : note Of warning is sounded
INV tho London Times, which calls
attention to the fact that a great
source of present weakness in the
! American trade situation is the
rigidity Of our bank note system.
Those who have been whistling the
banking question down the wind as
q merely vagary of the economist,
may be surprised at this foreign
& word of admoniton. What outside
observers zee very plainly is that,
while our credit conditions are now
easy, and We rest secure in our pros
perity and fancied position as a
creditor of all the world, q time
will.inevitably come when iquida,
tion will be necessary. We shall
then realize the truth about our
foreign trade, and i, as the Times
believes, it should appear that our
credit has been strained, the process
of contraction may be unduly pain
full unless the needed changes in our
currency are introduced. It is to be
hoped that this still small voice of
advice from q competent foreign
authority. coming az it does after
the noise and confusion Of the gener-
al currency. battle may be needed.
The time to protect ourselves against
future banking: difficulties is the
present. A::year from now it may
be.too late to make up for our lack
of foresight, in time to avert the
disaster of q contraction of credit,

The new program may be adopted
by the advocates of Billy Bryan in
Nebraska is to make him candidate
for Governor il 1902 and a candi-
date for United States Senator in
1905 with future possibilities of an
other whirl at the Presidency in
later years. The beauty of this
move from q Repub lican view is that
Mr.: Bryan stands little chance of
being elected Governor of Nebraska
in 1902 and less chance for future
honors. To use the language of the

In houses warmed with hot air

that pneumonia is more prevalent

Is it due to laxity of the system
brought about by tho American
custom at the present time of living
in over heated houses during the
winter season? When the furnace
was a luxury unknown except in
the East, and there confined to the
residences of the wealthy, people in
Milwaukee warmed their houses
by stoves. Until about the period
of the Civil War the fuel in almost
universal use was wood. Cold bed
rooms were the rule in those days
often 80 cold that it was necessary
in midwinter to break ice which had
formed in the pitcher over night
before water could be obtained for
the purpose of the morning ablu-
tions. Getting up in a chilly at
mosphere to build the fire for cook
ing breakfast was in many homes
the regular task of the man of the
house in those days of simpler and
humber things than now prevail.
There was discomfort in all this,
and some suffering. Chillblains
were frequently complained of then
they are little heard Of now. But
the proportion of deaths by pneu-
monia in those times, if memory
may be trusted-there are no relia-
bic statistics on the subject-was
much smaller than it is at the pres
ent day.
DIR. Erasmus Darwin, writing
more than century ago on the con-
ditions favorable to long life, re-
marked that persons uniformly
habituated to much artificial heat as
in warm parlo1s in winter time, be-
come feeble like hot house plants;
but by frequently going for a time
into the cold air, they accumulate"
the sensorial power of irritabiliy"
and become st longer. He observed
that the variations of cold and heat
in the climate of the northerly parts
of the temperate zone contribute. to
strengthen the inhabitants, who are
more active and vigorous, and live
longer, than those of ATTITUDES which
are either much warmer or much
colder. Having !premised- thus, he
continued:

sation' of cold; but if he walks into
the frosty air for a few minutes,
an accumulation of sensorial power
is produced by diminution of the
stimulus of heat, and on his return
ing into the room where he was
chilly before, his whole skin will
glow with warmth. Hence it may
be concluded that the variations
of the quantity of stimuli within
certain limits. contribute to our
health; and that the houses which

are kept too uniformally warm are
less wholesome than where the in

, CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Forty Per Cent. Reduction When Cuba
Can Offer the Same.

Washington, Feb: zs.-The Hepubli-
can members of the ways and filaaHs
committee were in private conference
for three hours, this afternoon, on the
subject of Cuban reciprocity, and al
though the conference went over with
out action until tomorrow. the menu
bers Of the committee found themselves
for the first time in possession of
proposition commanding considerable
strength and understood to represent
the attitude of the administration. This
was brought forward by Representa-
tive Long of Kansas, and authorized
the President when Cuba was prepared
to grant 40 per cent. reduction in duties
on United States exports to the island.
to grant to Cuba a similar reduction of
40 per cent. on all the products of the
island coming to the United States.
Various suggestions were put forward
and discussed but none took definite
form beyond that of Mr.. Long. 1t is
understood that the issue is likely to
be made on this proposition, since it is
believed to represent the concessions
the administration believes should be
granted on each side.

THE PoPE's JUBILEE.
He Enters Upon the 25th Year of His
Pontificate.

Rome. Feb. 20.-The Pope, today, en-
tered upon the 25th year of his pontif-
icate. Although the main celebration of
the jubilee is postponed until March 8
when the combined festivities of the
jubilee and coronation will be observed,
today was marked by the singing of
Re Deum in ST. Peters and other OBJ
servances.
The Pontiff, who was the recipient of
congratulations from all sides, re-
marked to one well-wisher that his
jubilee was frightened by the resigna-
ton. yesterday, of Count Giusse, the
minister of public works. who left the
government rather than approve of the
divorce bill. which the church holds
hurtful to family morality and concord.
During the course Of the day the
Pope received in audience committee
which presented him with commence
rative medal, replicas of which will be
distributed to pilgrims at the approach
ing celebrations.
The singing of the TIE Deum in st.
Peters was the most impressive SER
vice in years. 1t was conducted by
Cardinal Rampolla in the presence of
"A cardinals and 40 bishops. The pom
tifical noble guard was present in their
full dress uniforms, worn for the first
time. today. since 1870. Three hundred
representatives of Catholic associa-
tons. the Italian foreign representa-
tives of the religious orders, and 10000
spectators also listened to the service.
At the conclusion of the TIE Deum the
Pope appeared at window of his
apartments and watched the crowds
dispense. He was saluted by the wav-
ing of hats and handkerchiefs.
