Worlds Statistics.

At a rough calculation the popula-
tion of the world is more than one bill
lion souls. These speak some 1904
languages. and are worshipers of
more than 100 religions. The aver
age length of life is SO 1-3 years. One
fourth of mankind die before the sew
enth and one-half before the seven
teenth year. only one-sixth live beyond
the age of sixty. Thirty-three million
die annually, $1,000 daily. 3.730 every
hour. 60 every minute. While one
fourth are capable of bearing arms.
only one in a thousand is naturally
inclined to the profession.

Thee that we are fully able to take

Between two extremes President

stand that there should be declara-

which might prove embarrassing Al
plank to do just this much they agreed
upon, and it was adopted by the con-

server and clear thinker, President
Butler, of Columbia university, said
last night, WE have a conservative
declaration of a progressive policy
And thus this fortunate result dis
reached: rs
The republican party In convention
assembled authorizes but does not
command the President and the con-
gress to revise the tariff and readjust
schedules to meet changed commercial
relations.
IL dulHoTlZed Out does not command
that our foreign commerce be extend
ed and broadened by means Of reci-
procity agreements.
The doors are wide OPEN A halt is
called upon reaction. The Backward
step of a reciprocity confined to non
competitive products is rejected
1t remains for public opinion to do
the rest. These are to be issues in the
campaign. Congress will hear from
the country. The convention has issu-
ed permission, not mandate. The
latter the country, may order if it
wishes.
The purpose of the democrats to
fling McKinleys Buffalo speech in the
teeth of the republicans, charging
them with apostacy to that doctrine
of his which won the plaudits of the
country, cannot now be effectively car
ried out. The men who bark back to
Mckinley, the men from the great
northern states bordering Canada, feel
that they have rendered the party a
distinct and valuable service.

THE walls are high enough, and we
refuse to build them higher"
