Growth of European Population.

Few persons have any idea of the
extraordinary manner in which the
population Of Europe has increased
during the last century. According to
statisticians this population has more
than doubled itself from 1880 to 1900
To this increase the Latin nations OF
the west and southwest contributed
the least and the greatest growth was
in the east, where the people have
not yet become thoroughly saturated
with the ideas Of modern civilization.

Talk on Advertising by c. w.Post to Pub

In his address to Publishers at the
Battle Greek banquet Mr.. Post likened
the growth of modern commercial
enterprise to the growth of an apple
tree. Good seed. plenty of work and
water are needed. but the tree will not
bear apples without sunshine.
The sunshine to the commercial
plant is publicity secured by advertis-

est advertising to make success I'M

Another straw which shows which
way the political wind blows at the
White House is the recognition of the
Spooner-Babcock faction of the Repub-
lican party of Wisconsin by the Ma
tional Committee of that party. Those
who have watched the political tactics
of the administration have all the time
known that Gov. La Toilette was look
ed upon as diSorganizer. His propo-
sitions for fair primary legislation and
above all his attempt to tax the rail-
roads on their real valuation has not
endeared him to the Republican lead
erS. IS it therefore surprising that
President Roosevelt, who through his
chairman of the National Republican
Committee. is collecting large sums
from the corporations for the campaign
chest, should favor the faction from
which the funds are being so freely
poured forth. And now comes an I'M
feeling Supreme Court of Wisconsin
deciding that the Spooner-Babcock fac
ton have no right to place on the
Republican ticket. As the Republican
national convention was entirely DON'T

Il took some one-inch boards and
built a cigar-shaped boat thirty feet
long. At the bow we rugged a cop
per kettle holding about seventy-fve
pounds Of powder. The kettle was
fastened to pole, so that we could
lift it out Of the water when the boat
was going and then sink it about eight
feet under water when we got to close
quarters.
THE pole was at an angle Of forty
five degrees, SO that the kettle would
strike the hull of the enemy below
the water line. The kettle had some
percussion caps on the top, and the

Wages and Cost of Living.

The increased cost of living since
1897 is sure sign Of prosperity. ac-
cording to Secretary Shaw, but to
those who have to pay the bills it is a
very serious proposition. Wages adj
vanced somewhat from the lowest
point in 1897. but since 1892 have
again declined, although prices are
still at nearly the highest point. Lyman
W. Redington of Vermont, speaking at
a meeting Of the Commercial Travel
ers' League in New York, stated that
the increased cost Of provisions since
1897 equalled 43 per cent. If any one
has had his wages increased since 1897
43 per cent, he is lucky. but the Off
cial report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission for 1893 shows that the
greatest increase in wages of railroad
employees, excluding general officers.
from 1897 to 1903. was only IA per
cent. When the maximum increases
In wages is only one-third of the in
creased cost Of living, it would be diff
cult to persuade anyone but Republi-
can politician that the Dingley high
tariff law is of as much benefit to the
people as it has undoubtedly proved TO
trusts and mOnOpOlies.

Government Receipts and Expenditures
The first two months of the present
iscal year, July and August, showed
L deficiency in the governments reve-
nues Of S23,0O0,O00. The last fiscal
year ending June 80, 1904, showed a
deficiency Of $41,OOO,OOO. a total of
e64 100000. September of the present
year shows surplus of S3,SOO.OOO
That month usually makes good
showing; in 1S9S the surplus was &c.
100000, and In 1892, S11,OO0,OOO. Oc-
tober generally shows deficit, as the
Interest payments, which even Secre-
tarv Shaw cannot defer, like he has a
good many other payments. will de
mand about $4,0OO,OOO, and last year
this month showed a deficit of nearly
100000. In consequence of the ex-
travagant appropriations, the expendi-
tures are all the time increasing, so
there is no doubt that October will
wipe out the September surplus and
perhaps add to the deficit. In any
event, the first four months of the
fiscal year, or on Nov. 1, there will be
n deficiency Of receipts over eXpendi-
lures Of over S20,OOO,OOO. or Mt the rate
of $S0,00O,OOO for the whole year. Re-

A New Deal Much Needed.


The postal frauds and the punish
tnent of those who have been indicted
appear to be lost sight of in other
campaign issues. The Roosevelt adj
ministration evidently has postponed
the trial of the cases so that the public
will forget the scandal. The refusal OF
the Republicans in Congress to allow
an investigation showed they feared
the exposure of more frauds. If the
Democratic demand for congression-
nj investigation was acceded to. That
very fact should lead TO the election
of a Democratic majority to the next
Congress, so that Congress may do its
duty as the grand inquest of the ma
ton.
Beyond the postal frauds there are
other scandals that need investigation.
The Interior Department has land
frauds that much surpass the postal
frauds, as far as the amount involved
is at stake, vet but little attempt has
been made to punish the Land robbers
and the department refuses to make
public what 1t has discovered.
A political party is seldom bold
enough or honest enough to fully in
vestigate the wrongdoing of its own
partisans and the safety Of the Repub-
lican institutions is best conserved by
achange Of administration to look into
the way Of doing things of its prede-
cessor. The honest Republican voter
must wish to cleanse all the depart
ments Of the government of grafters.
