Population and Prosperity.

From Leslles Weekly.
 Our population is on the increase as never before, and there is not a shad- ow of doubt that it will continue to steadily increase, at least for the next half-dozen years; and no reasonable mind can doubt the enormous signif- canoe of this increase in population in It's relations to the demands for the necessities as we'll as for many of the luxuries of life. Four years ago we were surprised at the census which showed a population ef 75000. 900, but we soon came to regard such a population as mere matter of course, and now we talk of S0, GOO, 900 and seem to attach but little sig nificanee to It. And yet, in 1910, if the percentage of increase keeps on we shall have a population of more than Ss000, ,0OO When 1t is realized that in the last thir- ty-three years our population has in creased 100 per cent, while that of all the world has increased but 25 per cent, we get some idea of what this expan- sion in our poulation means to the United States. Aad the increase in population can have but one effect, and that is to increase our prosperity and material re- sources.

Decline in Price of Beef.

The price of beef has declined during
the last few days and the market will
doubtless remain in the present condition
for some time Mr. G. B. Ray, Baltimore
manager of Armour & Co., said that there
has been decline on the Oh eaper grades
of beef of about two cents per pound.
This is due to the large receipts of cattle
on the market and will likely con-
tinue until fall.
Mr. F. C. Reed, Baltimore manager for
tie Armour Packing Company, explained
the fall in prices by saying that the farm
ers who have grass cattle haye recently
sent them to market and large receipts
have forced down the prices. He said
that it is usual condition for this season
of the year, but the decline came a little
later than in other years owing to the scar
city of cattle. He thinks that the market
will swing back to normal before fall.

Crop Report.

The Weather Bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
Unreasonably cool weather has con-
tinucd in the States of the Missouri val
ley and over the western part of the
Upper Lake region, but elsewhere the
temperature has been very favorable.
Heavy rains have prevented cultivation
of crops and greatly interfered with har-
vesting in the Lower Missouri, Central
Mississippi and Ohio valleys and in the
portions of the Middle Atlantic States
and Lake regions, and much grain in
stock has been damaged in Oklahoma,
Kansas and Missouri.
Portions of the South Atlantic States
and North Central Texas need rain, and
in the Southern Plateau districts in severe
drought continues. Drought also pre-
walls in the coasts districts of Washington
and Oregon, where crop prospects have
been materially lessened.
Over the greater part of the corn belt
corn has made vigorous growth, but con
tinuous rains, have prevented cultiva
ton, and much of the crop is weedy In
the more northerly districts corn is gen
orally backward, but has advanced de-
cidedly during the past week. In the
Middle Atlantic States this corp has made
excellent progress, and is in very promis
ing condition.
Winter wheat has sustained great dam
age from continuous heavy rains in Ne
braska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri
where the unharvested grain was serious
ly damaged by rust and lodging, and tina
in shock by holding and sprouting
Harvesting was also greatly Kindred by
unfavorable weather in the districts cas-
of the Mississippi river.
The weather conditions have beer
highly favorable for tobacco, which is in
thrifty condition in all of the important
! tobacco States.

the outcome caused feeling of bitter re-
greet and disappointment; but the nestor

in by his decision every true and loyal

to. Then up go our colors for Parker
and Davis, which means the restoration
of Democracy, peace, prosperity and hap
piness once more to our beloved country.
