POPULAR WAR SYMPATHY.
25o., Goo. 81. 90.
J. Q. Aver Co. Lowell, NJ

It is quite apparent that the sympathy
OF most people is with the Japs, but so
far as the right and wrong OF the matters
they are fighting about, there is little TO
choose between the Russians and laps.
Probably our sympathy is mostly. en-
gendered by the fact that the laps are the
weaker, that in recent years they have
been progressing very rapidly. and that
our relations commercially and other.
wise have been increasing in like pro-
portion. On the other hand, Russia has
always been friendly with this country.
and often at times when her powerful
friendship meant much to us. In all our
recent wars, from the civil war times to
the present, she has been on our side.
when many, if not all, OF the other Eur
opean governments were against us, or
at best neutral. The Russian argues
that only recently this country has ab-
sorbed the Philippines and Porto Rico
without protest from them, but rather
with their moral support, therefore we
should not object to Russia absorbing
Manchuria peacefully, as she was doing
before the Japs put in the present forci-
Bile protest.
Perhaps if this were the only instance
Of Russia's expansion, the United States
and the rest of the world might look at
the issue with less interest, but the facts
of-history show, that since the time OF
Peter the Great, Russia has never ceased
aggressing on the countries on her bor-
ders. True, she has at all times tried to
acquire the coveted territory without
lighting, but has not hesitated to take by
force when not able to take them other.

THE CAUSE OF THE FLOOD IN 1897.
A correspondent makes the inquiry as
to the cause of the food Of 1897; that is.
whether it was due to rain or deep snow.
Thinking that the matter of the compare
son Of this winter with that of 1896-97
might be of interest to others as well as
our correspondent, we have gone to our
files and herewith reproduce some Of the
locals and correspondence which we
printed from week to week during the
latter part Of that winter. From these
reproductions our correspondent and
our readers may make such comparisons
as they please, but it would seem certain
that the present winter, viii e unpleasant
and cold, has not been nearly 50 inclem-
ent as that Of the former year. AS osthe
cause Of the food, tits also certain that
it was also caused BY the deep snow.
The fall Of the present season at this
writing totals 80 inches.

WHO ARE THEY2
Much Speculation About Applicants
for Natural Gas Franchises.

There is much speculation at pres
emit over the hackers of the Fidelity Oh
and Gas company. One statement
was made today to the effect that the
Fidelity Gas company is only another
way of designating the Kansas Natural
Gas company, and that the latter COM
pany introduced the two franchises
with the idea of stiffening up the
prices. AS drawn up the two fran
chises bear a strong resemblance TO
each other. The theory on which the
above assertion is based, is that by
making the franchise, issued in the
name of the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany, a less liberal proposition though
on a lower rate schedule than the
Fidelity Gas company, the council
would likely accept the latter pro

Going Bad.

No man living knows all about ami

them. Some who are dead thought they
knew. That is the reason they are dead.
Only those who realize their ignorance
and supplement it with untiring watch
fulness last long at this queer business
that I'm in.
Sooner or later most animals of the
cat kind become utterly intractable and
remain so. Going bad'' is the profes-
sional term for this. Rarely do they re-
turn to their old, amenable ways. Hence
forth they are of no use as performers,
and are relegated to the exhibition
cages, for any man entering the cage of
a lion or tiger that has gone bad is in
stantly attacked. This is one of the ter
rors of the trade. Symptoms of the
change of heart are apparent enough
sometimes, particularly in animals
which are growing old Occasionally,
however, some young beast, formerly as
obedient as you could wish, will turn

LEWIS AND CLARKE CENTENNIAL

The termination of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition and the prepara-
lions for the Lewis and Clarke Centen-
NAL Exposition lend interest to some
figures compiled by the department of
commerce and labor through its bureau
of statistics with reference to the pro-
duction and business conditions in the
area included within the territory ira
versed by the great explorers from
whom the western exposition takes its
name.
The territory added by the Mexican
cession had a population of 165,524 at
the census of 1850, the first enumera-
ton after the purchase. In 1890 it was
1,675.OOO. and in 1900. 2,122.S7s. This
does not include any part of the state
of Colorado, of which about one-third
falls within the Mexican cession, but
does include all of New Mexico, which
is formed in part from territory which
was claimed by Texas. The wheat
production of the five states and ter
ritories now representing the Mexican
cession was, in 1890, SO, 066, 900 bushels;
in 1903, &c, 1856, 929 bushels. The barley
crop of 1903 was 32,O15.s6S bushels,
s19, 644. 567, and the hay crop alone in
1903 was valued at $29, 434,023, or twice
as much as the sum paid to Mexico lex

The states and territories in question

of the wool grown in the United States,
their total wool production being in
1908. 40, 49,. $50 pounds. out of a total
in the United States of 2S7, 450, 900
pounds. The total value of the pro-
duction of wheat, corn. oats, rye, bar

states and territories in 1908 was $S4,-

game will doubtless be the policy of
the Gas company, delaying until all the
different propositions have been sub
mitted to the council and then if pur-
chasing the franchises will be cOnsid-

be done and eliminate the danger of
possible competitors. In case, how
ever the Excelsior people decide to pipe

delaying to present a proposition to the
city which will have the bulge upon the
other competitors.
Mr.. Eugene Quinton stated today
that Mr.. A. B. Quinton was in New

that they had been authorized to make

He stated that it could be made a pay

of horses and mules in 1908 was S56,SS3,
and their value, $42. 657. 965. The num-
Der of cattle on January 1, 1904. was
1858, S73, valued at ST., Jos, s12, against
$57, 713, 266 in 1890. The number OF sheep
in 1904 was 10,491, ASP, against 10,5S3, 146
in 1890, and their value in 1904, $23, 49,
40. against SIS, O39, 162 in 1890. The total
value of farm animals in the five states
and territories formed from this pur-
chase was, in 1904, $147, S55,933, or more
than eight times its original cost The
silver production in 1902 was $24, 5SS, sos
(coining value); and the gold produc-
ton in 1902, $27, 1926, 300. against $780,
900 in 1890.
The growth in educational facilities
during the decade in the states and
territories in question is shown by the
fact that the pupils enrolled in public
schools numbered in 1890, 292, 626, and IN
1902, 419,247; the number of teachers
in public schools increased during that
period from 1851 to 11,151; the total ex-
penditure for public schools from &c.
O1O,242 to SO, SAC, 29O, and the total at
tendance at schools of all classes had
increased from 312, 945 to 453.S02 and the
number of teachers employed from $3.50
to 1885.
The number of postoffices increased
from 2,1s2. in 1890, to ISIS, in 1908; the
number OF newspapers and periodicals
published from 725, in 1890. to 900. in
1903. and the miles of railway in opera
ton from 9,022 to 1911. An additional
evidence of the general prosperity OF
the citizens, as a class, is shown by
the fact that the Individual deposits IN
national banks increased from $25, ST.
900, in 1890, to $s7, 669, 900, in 1908; the
circulation of the national banks IN
these states and territories from 1884,
900 to 81, $50, 900, their loans and dis
counts from SIS, SOS, 900 to ST, 110,Oo0, and
the total resources of all banking insti-
tutions (national, state, private and
savings banks) in these states and ter
ritories from $2S4, 900 to 1886, 600.
