The speech Of Governor CUMMINs at Des
Moines on Saturday night avoided the sug-
gestion OF tariff split in the Republican
party not less gracefully than it brought
the question of reciprocity with Canada to
the front The chief representative Of what
has been styled the Iowa idea AZ to the
limitations Of the protectionist principle
managed his voice on this OCCASION 30 a. to
give no comfort whatever to the theoreti-
cal free traders; and it was a. Mckinley
Republican that he said:
We ought speedily 70 establish reciprocity with
Canada. country Just fairly started In It, devsl.
opment and whose markets 10 al Manufactured
articles we ought 10 supply BY reason OF the ease
Of our access to them. The United States 10 u.
ready the largest importer OF commodities into
Canada. and that Notwithstanding the fact that
her preferential duties admit England. our sharp
est competitor. upon terms IS 3 per cent. better
than they admit the United States. We ought 10
obtain better terms there than England but II We
could enter upon the same terms the volume OF
our exports TO that country would DO nightly In
creased. and thereby the work done In the Republic
would be correspondingly multiplied. To obtain
these terms |, will be necessary that certain Of
the products OF Canada shall be allowed 10 come
into the United States under lower duties than now
prevail. Her coal her iron and pig iron should
come In free a. raw material and the natural prod.
ucts OF her soil can be well admitted upon the best
terms We can secure II thereby this great Dominion
can be opened up to the enterprise Of American
manufactures We have no need TO fear the COM
petition Of Canada IN our own markets In those
products which constitute our chief exports, nor
is there any time to lose In pressing forward the
negotiations for these freer relations with Canada
Most Republicans and protectionists
agree as to the SURPRISING desirability Of
increasing our commercial relations with
our northern neighbor. Not all such are
prepared to admit as squarely as Governor
CUMAnNs does the necessity of giving
something specific in return for what We
want to get.

the coming election

Included in the "other countries" of the
table are about 10000 from Asia. The
Jewish population has increased very
largely since the above enumeration
was made, and also the Italian.
The distribution Of the population Of
Manhattan, so far as concerns the dis
tricts inhabited by it, is very interesting.
We obtain the statistics from tables pre-
pared by DR.. WALTER LAIDLAw, the
secretary of the Federation of Churches,
to whose remarkable skill in the handling
of statistics we have often been indebted:
Fast Side. south Fourteenth street 5s33o4
East Side. north Fourteenth street 5,63ls
Total East Side 1860. 7t2
West Side. south Fourteenth street. 1928

Total West Side. MISREPRESENTATION. as. $50
Fifth avenue districts. observation-disclosures. 24l.422
Total Manhattan. ...........,.,.,... $50 093
It will be seen that in 1900 a great ma
jority of the population lived in the As
sembly districts on the East Side and it
may be assumed that it has increased
since that year Those districts, the
main seat Of the foreign population, COM
prised, however, only 4,227 of the l4O3s
acres OF Manhattan Island That is, in
1900 over ST per cent of the population
lived on about 30 per cent. Of its area;
and the congestion on the East Side has
increased materially since the census
was taken In none of the East Side
Assembly districts below Fourteenth
street was it less in 1900 than $40 persons
to the acre, and in one, the Eighth, it
was 1856, while the average for the whole
eight districts was nearly 1883 to the acre

The Most Varied Collection OF Races
in History.

A profitable and interesting study
pertinent to the municipal campaign
now about to proceed will be Of the popu-
lation of the city of New York and its
conditions. Here in New York, and on
Manhattan Island more especially, is
the most remarkable collection of people
in the world, the most various in race
and religion ever gathered together in
such numbers in the history Of mankind;
and the problems here to be solved, social
and political, may really be said to be
more important to the human race than
those which will be worked out in any
other community of the world.
In New York as a whole, in 1900, only
2l.5 per cent. of the population were ma
tive whites of native parentage, and on
Manhattan Island only 1853 per cent. or
about one-sixth. 1t may be assumed that
since the census was taken even these
small percentages have diminished very
considerably, for immigration has been
in unprecedentedly great volume, and
the birth rate is highest in the districts OF
the city where the population Of alien
birth is largest. Even of the native
population Of native parentage, lat
in number, nearly one-fifth were born
outside OF the State Of New York:

BULLETS FIRED AT PuRsuERs.
Negro Shot at Posse Who Attempt
Capture

With bullet through his left lung
John Suggs, young farmer living in
the Fifteenth district, below Americas,
lies in critical condition and may die
therefrom, while Andrew Cheney, a
negro farmer, who probably fred the
shot, is in Jail here.
Cheney surrendered himself to Sher-
if Bell yesterday and asked protec-
ton, claiming that he fred upon
| posse in self defense as they attempted
to break down his door.
The fatal atfray occurred Saturday
night and Sunday morning.
From all accounts of the tragedy re-
ceived here posse of white men were
trying to get possession of Cheney,
who. was baTricaded in his house at
midnight. He refused to open the
door upon their demand when, he
says, they attempted to break in.
At this he fred point blank and, he
claims, struck John Suggs, one of the
party outside.
Others think the bullets may have
been fred by one of Oheney's confed
crates upon the outside, who had come
to his assistance.
At all events Suggs is very badly
wounded and may die. The negro,
Cheney, as stated, has surrendered
himself and asks protection. Walter
Bray, another young man who had
previously had row with Cheney, is
cut on the arm, but not badly.
Reports of the trouble received here
yesterday are as follows.
Cheney was driving his wagon home
Saturday night and, he claims, ACCT
dentally ran into Bray's buggy. A
fight in the road ensued, Bray, 1t is
said, using rail upon Cheney while
the negro piled his knife with the re-
suit stated.
The attack upon Cheney in his
house, several hours later, was the re-
suit of this fight. Four or five men
constituted the avenging posse, all of
whom are young men well known in
that section, where the shooting Great
ed much excitement.
This was the story as told here yes
terday, although there may be other
versions of the whole affair.

A DELEGATE IS STRICKEN DOWN
Woman Falls Dead While Leaving
Church

Great CONSERVATION was created at
Friendship Baptist Church Sunday
night by the sudden death of Peggy
Jones, a-negro delegate from Camille,
who was in Americas attending the
meeting of the Supreme Order of
Benevolence" a state colored society in
session here for nearly week past.
The woman was in the centre of the
building which was jammed to it's ut
most capacity, when, feeling sick she
arose to leave. Just as she cleared the
doors of the church she fell dead upon
the steps without uttering a word
CONSERVATION reigned to such extent
that the services were hastily brought
to a finish The woman died from
natural causes, death resulting proba
bly, from heart disease. The body was
prepared for burial and sent yesterday
to Camilla, the home of the deceased.
