ARREST OF POPULATION.
Iucreaee Is Smaller in Most States Tha Twenty Years Ago.


 Increase Is Smaller in Most States Thau Twenty Years Ago.
 Philadelphia Press. .--
 When the Iowa census this year showed a loss in population of 15,0oo in five years, from 1900 to 1905. 1t was credited to the decrease In the farming population. Every city over 5000 in population had gained, the total being 77,oo0. In all the towns under 5000 population each and the farm ing districts had lost in five years some s2 GOO in population. Minnesota proves. by its census. to have grown in five years but a5,0OO, credited wholly to the village and city population. In the last decade Mlnne- sota gained one-third. 337 per cent. in ten years, or 3.3 37 per cent in a year. In the past five years 1t has gained only at the rate of 13 per cent Of in one year at the rate Of 2.6 per cent. The farming popula- tion has ceased to grow.
 But 1t is not only the farming population which suffers arrest. Massachusetts. which Is more than half city or town over 5,000s has a disappointing return in it's census for 1905. Taking the increase in the previous decade. a growth in population was expected and predicted of s75.Qoo The actual in crease Is barely half this 193,612.
 The rate of increase, 6 per cent. is half that for twenty years back. It was about the same, 7.9 per cent 1875 to 1880. and 3 per cent. 1880 to 1885; but this is the only time it has ever been as low. and of the earlier decade. the first five years, 1875 to 1880. were years of great financial de- preBsion.
 The past five years have been years of oyerflowing prosperity. Yet the increase in population In Massachusetts drops one-half The addition to population in five years Ia no longer than 1t thirty years ago tD five years, when the inhabitants of the state numbered only one-half as many as now.
 This same arrest of population is in pros- ress all over the country No State Is like Ky to show in this decade the increase of the past. Our national increase. which has been Jogging along at about 25 per cent in ten years, is about to make a drop to IF to IS per cent in ten years little above the average of thriving European counties like GermMy and England. f.
 Our birth rate is decreasing. The si-e of families is smaller. The weddings are numerous. The christenings are fewer. Half the immigrants who come over so back. Each year the proportion of those who re- turn grow a little bigger.
 Our population Is fast coming to the Flu ropean rate of increase But wealth groWs. The amount paid out in wages increases. The average paid each worker grows. There Is more comfort. more houses. more meat, more bread more clothes and more shoes per person.
 If the increase in population shows an arrest the increase of wealth and its dis- tribution yearly advance.

ADVANCE IN DIAMONDS.

Among the many arguments used to prove that we are enjoying great pros- perity the increase in the price of dia- monds Is one that was least expected. We learn that ali varieties of diamonds are now selling 50 per cent. higher , than they did at the beginning of the present century and for some grades the rise has been still greater.
 This notable advance indicates one of two things: either these gems are becoming scarcer or there is much greater demand for them than there was a few years ago. As there Is nothing to show that the supply of diamonds has decreased the plain con- clusion is that the demand is greater, and increased demand for any com- modity naturally means higher prices. The imports of diamonds into this country for the last fiscal year amount ed to something over twenty-seven mill lion dollars, and the figures show that the importation during the last i've years was double that of any similar period in the past.
 But while these facts might be taken as an indication of greater pros- pesity, that view is erroneous, If ap- piled to the people at large. The poor people, the working people of all classas. do not buy diamonds to any aupreciable extent. With them the problem of living occupies all their faculties and consumes all their re- sources. They find that the necessities ,r life will absorb their incomes. and
 aves them nothing to spend for dia" l.cnds or other costly and unnecessary ornaments.
 As We view It all the surplus wealth, or the greater part of 1t, that comes with increased prosperity goes to the already fortunate rich. They get the lions share and they can afford to apend it for costly gems, and that they are thus investing more of their sur pius than formerly is plain. It is their right and privilege to do this. and we are not censuring them. We take no stock in the socialistic demand for aoual division of wealth. nor have we any criticism for those who are able to amend million for diamonds. We are only referring to the fact that the price has very materially advanced and that some people are investing more in them

THIS IS ENCOURAGING.

From recent issue of The Boston Globe we copy this editorial utterance:
 A very remarkable thing happened this week at the Maryland Republican convention, which was presided over by Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte. The platform adopted contained this
 The Republican Party of the State of Maryland favors no social equality among the races. favors no negro dom elsewhere, and can he depended upon to guard against the establishment of either of these conditions here in Mary land"
 It may well be believed that this dec laration was not IT spired by any genu- inc dread of negro domination" in Marvlard. for of all the States in which slavery formerly existed. except DeIa- ware. Kentucky. Missouri and West Virginia. Maryland has the smallest percentage of negroes. It can be ac- cepted then, only as rather curious of the negro. North as well as South. President Roosevelt. 1t is true, enter tains MT. Booker Washington at the tary of the Navy. but the present Sec Eetary of State. MT. Elihu Root, has gone on public record as entertaining misgivings as to the political and so- people of the country.
 It is an astonishing and significant spectacle, and its result probably will be to emancipate the colored voter from unreasoning and undiscriminating ad- hesion to one political party, a condi- ton which will not fail to mark his own social and political elevation.
 The reader will note that in this there Is no fervid exhortation to the negro to stand by the party that gave him freedom; none of the sectional | banalities which were in the past q prominent portion of all Northern newspaper utteranees where the negro 1 was concerned. In most sections of the North and West, where the negroes are in sufficient numbers to constitute factor in politics this same stun Is still preached to them and drilled into them, and they are expected to stand up for the Republican ticket whatever else they may do. If they fail in this solemn duty they are made to feel pen- alty imposed on those who are un- faithful.
 In Maryland, as The Globe says, there can be no danger of negro domination. but none tho less 1t will be much to tbe 1 advantage of every negro who pos- sesses the franchise to emancipate him. self from the bondage to one political party. If he has the other attributes and privileges of free man he should | also be free man at the polls. If the

The Election in Alabama Next Year. Editor of The Advertisers
 Some time ago 1t was reported in the newspapers as q matter of great signifi- canoe. politically. that quite recently Hon. John H. Bankhead visited Selma for the first time in ten years and about the same time General Charles M Shel- ley arrived in that town and that Bank head and Shelley called on Senator Pet tus and after good, long, private con ference the three called on Colonel Nal lory, who Is chairman of the State Ex- ecutive Committee and conferred with him. ..
 The newspapers did not pretend to state what actually occurred in either of the conferences. but stated that Gen eral Shelley said that he was going to take an active part in next years cam- paign, but did not state that he would be candidate himself, nor if so, for what office he would stand.
 It is so well known that Bankhead Is an embryo candidate for United States Senator, but at present has all that he can handle to keep Captain Hobson from beating him for Congress in the Sixth District The inference to be drawn from the newspaper accounts of the interview Is that they wished to suggest to Colonel Mallory something about the primary to be called by the Executive Committee next spring: eith- CT primary or the old convention plan. dates and schemers Who cannot manip- ulate a primary and deceive the peo- pie desire return to the old conven- ton system.

 Major General Leonard Wood in his annual report comes out strongly in favor of advancement in the line of the army by selection instead of by pro motion. As General Wood has been the beneficiary of the system he rec ommends and will not unlikely again benefit by that system, the position he takes Is not surprising. In his rise to brigade rank he was jumped over the head of several hundred veteran or = heers, some of whom at least were as efficient as he and most of whom hao done the state more service.
 This question of promotion or selee, ton in the army has been discussed for some time and has shown we sides, instead of the one race WiiCn ha S.a General Wood and some others siI4.. ha " steadily gazed upon. Army oficer9s .9 are not given. nor are they PeI1Liii t,,, to discuss such matters pubtlcly, oue we are assured by a service pu59allea. tion that the great majority oI i,, oiieess tboss of the highest merit, are opposed to advancement by selection.
