An Interesting Statement Given
Out by the Census Bureau.
ALMOST 8O,OOO,OOO PEOPLE.
That Is the Estimated Population Of
tho United States, Exclusive of
Alaska and the InsuIar
Possessions. -sI

Washington. April s.-The census
bureau yesterday issued a bulletin
which gives the estimated population
of the United States for 1908, exclu-
sive of Alaska and the insular pos
sessions of the United States, at 49,
9OO,3S9 This is an increase of $685.
314 since the census of 1900. The
population is estimated for ABS cities
having 10000 or more Inhabitants in
in 1Gh0.
According to these estimates New
York is now city of 3,716,130 in
habitants; Chicago is rapidly a,p-
preaching the 100000 mark, having
1,673,sSO inhabitants; Philadelphia
has 1,376,716; st. Louis has just pass
ed and Boston has almost reached
the GO0,O mark; Baltimore has 531,-
313; Cleveland is now considerable
distance ahead of Cincinnati, which
cities have 414,9j0 and 1872, 1874 respec-
lively Buffalo also has considerably
increased its population, being credit
ed with 3S1, ,4O3 inha bitantS. San
Francisco and Pittsburg are close
competitors, the former having 3j5,-
919 and the latter 5,O43. Detroit,
Milwaukee and New Orleans have
just passed 100000 and Washington is
close to that figure.
In the number of towns and cities
having over 10000 inhabitants, Mass
achuSetts is in the lead with AZ. con-
tanning a total of 2,197,7O6 inhabi-
tants, but this total of urban popu-
lation of course is not as large as
that OF Ncw York, Pennsylvania and
Illinois.
Considered by states, New York
leads in population, with more than
100000, Pennsylvania exceeds g.
100000 and Illinois has passed j,O0O,-
900. Texas has over 100000, hav-
ing passed Missouri. But % states
now have less than 100000 inhabi-
tants and IA exceed 100000.
The estimates are made in bulle-
tin giving estimates of population in
1901, 1902 and 1903 for all cities of 10,-
900 inhabitants or more in the
United States.
The same cities between 1890 and
1900 increased in population over 81
per cent. Part of the increase during
the three years is due to the inclu-
sion of suburbs. The estimated pop
ulation in 1903 in cities of 10000 or
more is distributed as follows:
The North Atlantic states, 1SS
cities. 12,S1S,99O; north central divis-
lon, 149 cities, S,272, ,1O5; South At
lantic. 3S cities, 1,S41,2 ,215; south CEN
tral, 81 cities, 1,53O,s55 and western
states, 26 cities, 1,343, ,S22.

the population in 1908 of Ohio cities
having 25,OOO and upwards: Akron

THE TRUSTS AND HEARST.
When It Comes to Using the Check
Book the Yellow Peril to the
Democracy Isn't In 1t.

70 Some of the anti-Hearst democrats
are appealing to the republicans to
help defeat the New York editor for
the ST. Louis nomination. They in
dulge in strong language, and declare
that his candidacy deserves rebuke, ir-
respective of party. Everybody, it is
stated, should take alarm at such
methods of campaigning, and especial
ly for the highest office within the
peoples gift.
This appeal, says the Washington
Star, is robbed of all force and made
quite ridiculous by the attitude of the
trusts MIR. Hearst is very rich man,
lavish spender and is very anxious
20 be president. But his pile is small
when compared with the combined
piles of those trust magnates, who just
now are figuring industriously on con-
trolling the st. Louis convention. They
have dollars to his cents, and they are
putting up quite literally. In the well
accredited gossip of the day, there is
almost an open offer to the effect that
If the democratic party will make its
nomination in accordance with the
trust wishes and interests its cam
paign fund shall be the largest on
record, and sufficient for every pur-
pose. Mr.. Cleveland is preferred.
AS there is an auction on as to ST.
Louis, therefore, why should the re-
publicans take sides? They will do
well to keep out of it and await the
result with coniposure. They will have
enough to do afterward in their cam
paign against the highest bidder. If
Mr.. Hearst outbids the trusts he will
prove a very active antagonist, and
if the nomination is knocked down to
the trusts they will move heaven and
earth in their effort to land their man.
The republicans should not exercise
themselves at all until the common en-
emy presents himself
For time Mr.. Hearst seemed TO
hold the record for audacity in the
political world No man before him
had played the game quite so frankly
or jOyously on such lines. But with
In the past six months the trusts have
done some business themselves, and
shown that if the way to the white
house can be opened by check book
they are prepared and disposed to per
form the work If they win at ST. Louis
Mr.. Hearst will have made them pay
for the prize, and if he wins they will
have made him pay a pretty penny for
his whistle.

KANSAS DEMOCRATS.
Hearst and Bryan EuIO@ized by Them
in State Convention.

Wichita, Kan, April S.-The demo-
cratic state convention yesterday
elected 90 uninstructed delegates to
the national convention. The delega-
ton, according to personal prefer
ences, will stand six for Hearst and
IA against him, it is said.
The platform. which was unani-
mously adopted, endorsed the Kan
sas City platform of 1900 and the Chi
cago platform of 1896, expressed con-
fidence in William J. Bryan, and de-
clared for the nomination of men for
president and vice president who sup
ported the tickets of 1896 and 1900
and who were in sympathy with the
platform upon which they ran.
The Hearst plank, which some of
Mr.. Ilearst's followers claim as an en-
dorsement of his candidacy, follows:
''In VIM. Il. Hearst, of New York,
we recognize one of the foremost
democrats of the nation. He uses
his great opportunities and power
in all cases in behalf of the common
people, without counting the cost to
himself.

POINTS AND PARAGRAPHS.

E|The digging of the Panama canal
will furnish another ditch into which
the democratic party can fall-hard.-
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
EJIt would be something pathetic to
find Mr. Bryan at the St. Louis conven-
tion looking up some delegate from his
own or another state for a ticket of ad-
mission. 1t would be something appeal
ing to sympathy to see him minority
delegate from Nebraska rising in his
humble place to hold aloft the tattered
banner of lost cause. But in Nebraska,
as everywhere, cruelty is the rule of poll
tics. If men will not adjust themselves
TO the conditions Of their time they will
find conditions nevertheless ineXOrable.
If they will not sidestep before the great
"~neels that goround and round they will
be cast down and ground in the dust

posed. JCurr

OUR PHILIPPINE INTERESTS,
Advantages Accruing to the United
States Through Possession of
the Islands.

Gen. James II. Wilson undoubtedly
expressed a widespread view when he
declared in the discussion on the Rus
so-Japanese war before the American
Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence that the Philippines conferred no
substantive advantage on the United
States.
This view fails to consider all the
conditions, says the Philadelphia
Press The Philippines yield no reye-
nue.. They furnish the United States
no military forces. They add instead
TO the points which demand defense
and garrison, an army and a fleet.
But this army and this fleet give the
United States its entire position in the
east In 1900 the United States en-.
ioyed its weighty authority at Pelling
because it was nearest to the scene OF
disturbance, had 10000 seasoned men
on whom it could draw, and, next tC
Japan, was the first power to be ready
with a brigade in the march on the
Chinese capital. Thanks to the Phil
iDpines and our interests there, ou
navy in the Pacific is to-day the larg
est save that of England. What die
we have on the Pacific coast of Asia
when war was last declared there il
1856? The Monocacy, a side-wheel.
er, and one or two cruisers. To-day
our battleships and cruisers fall just
short of Englands. AS NJ. Delcassc
said in the French chamber of deputies
when taken to account for the small
French Pacific fleet, France could not
| think of Tivaling or equaling the naval
| force of the United States on the east
coast of Asia, since the United States
had to-day larger interests on the Asi,
attic Pacific coast than any other
| power.
! These interests are conferred by the
possession of the Philippines. They
would not exist otherwise. They may
seem small and of no substantive ad-
vantage to Gen. Wilson. They do not
thus appear to an astute and expert.

man like NJ. Delcasse, the French min

| Secretary Hay speaks with authority
in Chinese affairs because of these in

The Philippines give the United
States standing in Asiatic affairs. They
give those who direct our policy and

| backing Of an army and navy nearer

power. On these things influence and

And she could not write a sonnet:

And yet she deemed that her life was
