Death of John A. Hubbard.

John A. Hubbard died at the Grand
hotel in this city Thursday night at
eleven o'clock after an illness of only
FIVE hours.
He left the hotel at two o'clock in
the afternoon seeming quite nervous
and returned shortly after six o'clock
in the evening in an almost uncon-
scious condition.
Two physicians were summoned
and they were under the impression
that he was suffering from an over
dose of morphine, drug that he was
never known to take, but there were
also indications of apoplexy. All at,
tempts to restore him to conscious
ness were unavailing and he died as
above stated.
He was a brother of Mrs. Andrew
]. Bowel and has one brother, w. I.
Hubbard, residing at Toledo, Ohio
His mother is also living and makes
her home with Mrs. Bowel at the
Grand hotel.
Deceased was 80 years, 6 months
and days old at the time of his
death He was born in Toledo, Ohio
served three years as a soldier in the
Philippine war, came to Plymouth
four or FIVE years ago, served tor a
time as night Waterman here and
afterwards conducted the Argos
house at Argos.
He was employed at the Grand no.

Bowel, is proprietor. His death fall.

him as her baby and to whom he
was always kind.

The Canal Revival.

A curious result of the present re-
vival of interest in canals and artif-
cial waterways is the resuscitation of
some projects that were first exploit
ed early in the last century. The
canal fever preceded the railroad few
er many years and after having gwen
way to the latter is now becoming
active again as a means Of supplying
additional and cheaper transportation
The fact that some of the canal pro-
jccts of seventy or eighty years ago
are now being revived rather tends
to show that they have intrinsic mer-
IT,
Among the projects brcugh. before
Congress during the early years of
the internal improvement craze were
for canal from Chesapeake bay to
Lake Ontario; canal from The Him
DIS river to Lake Michigan; canal
from Lake Champlain to Lake On
tario; from Lake Erie to the Wabash
and Ohio rivers; from Lake Michigan
to the Wabash river; from Lake
Michigan to the Mississippi river;
from Toledo, O., to Lafayette, Ind
from Wabash river to Missouri river;
from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean; from Lake Michigan to the
Atlantic ocean land many others. All
of these projects originated before
the era of railroad building began,
and they represented the intense de-
sire of the people for better means
of transportation and the cheapeniag
of freight rates, which were then ex-
cessively high.
Congress made large land grants
to some of them, and no doubt thes
would have been completed but for
the ushering in of the railroad era,
which soon occupied public attention
to the exclusion of everything else.
Now that the transportation business
of the country has outgrown the ca
pacity of the railroads to handle it
and freight charges are higher than
they should be, canal projects are
again coming to the front, including
some of those that were in favor two
or three generations ago. The days
of public land grants for internal
Improvements are passed, but there
are indications that pressure will soon
be brought to bear on Congress for
appropriations for canals.-Indianap-

Senators and People.

1t is significant of the state of pub.
lie opinion that the resolution de-
handing a constitutional convention
to provide for the popular election of
senator's has passed the upper house
at Springfield by vote of 35 to 5.
1t has been stated that one or two
enemies of the reform in the lower
house delayed the consideration of a
similar resolution thus far, but it is
beyond question that the proportion
of members in the lower house who
favor the reform is fully as great as
in the upper house, and SO it may be
taken for granted that the resolution
will easily get a hearing and be adopt
ed.
Excepting for the three war amend
ments, there has been no formal
change in the federal Constitution
since the method of electing the
President was altered after the JEFF
ferson-Burr contest The amendment
of the Constitution is one of the most
difficult tasks ever set for the people
by the forms of representative gov
eminent, and that almost entirely be-
cause so many states have to act con-
currently, while no agency for helping
them to cooperate exists, in cases in
which the Congress refuses to take
the initiative.
If the states will unite in demand
ing this reform it will be a constitu-
tional victory over the consolidated
and fortified power of the Senate,
which will be something for the ma
ton to be proud of-Record Herald

Good fun and plenty of it is found
in the color comic section of The

slant aim is to keep these amusing
illustrations free from vulgarity and
mischievous suggestions which char

is certainly cure for the blues.
There is an entertaining variety of
special features in The Sunday

Sunday magazine which has all the
distinctive qualities of the famous in

authors and artists contribute the text

Justic Fitzgerald has appointed
commission in lunacy in the Thaw
case This commission will decide
the question as to whether Harry
Thaws is now sane, and it is even
admitted by the counsel for 'rhaw
that the outlook is decidedly bad II
the slayer of White is found to be in
sane he will probably be sent to
Mattaewan asylum for the criminal
insane. The attorney for the de-
Tense who expressed the opinion that
there is little hope for Thaw hit the
situation exactly, that is, to all ap-
pearances. With Matteawan staring
him in the face the defendant is in
anything but an enviable position, for
providing he is committed to the asy-
lum and improves to such an extent
that it is deemed advisable to Iiber-
ate him, he will then have to stand
trial for the murder of White, and he
would then be In exactly the same
position as when the present trial
began.

CHICAGO HAS 2,o4s, 1876 NOW.
Census Bureau Gives Figures Show
ing Marvellous Growth.

The United States census bureau
has placed its official 90 K" on Chi
cago's claim to having passed the p
100000 mark in population.
The census bureau Thursday an
nounced its estimates of the popula-
ton of the Uni ed States for 1906.
The figures for Chicago are 2,049, 1s5.
In 1900 it was 1,69s,575. The gain in
six years therefore is 350,610.
Chicago remains the second city in
the union in point of population,
New York being first with 4,113,o43.
That is to say, New York is twice as
large as Chicago. Six years ago its
population was 3,4a7,2o2, SO that its
increase has been 665.s41.
Philadelphia has 1,441,735, against
1,293,697 six years ago. ST. Louis has
passed Boston in the race, the Mis-
souri, metropolis having 649,320 in
1906 and 575,23s in 1900. Six years
ago Boston had 595,os3, while in 1906
the bean eaters city had 6O2,27s. 2
Illinois is the third state of the
union in point of population. In 1906
the census bureau estimates that it
was populated by 5.41s.67O persons,
as against 4,S21, $50 in 1900. New
York is leader with s,226,99 then
comes Pennsylvania with 5,92s, SIS;
Ohio, 4,44s,677; Indiana, 2,710,s9s.
The whole United States is BOOM
ing in population as in prosperity.
The census figures made public show
that the population of continental
United States in 1906 was s3,941,5
this being an increase over 1900 OF
9,746,9a5. The population of the
United States, inclusive of Alaska
and the insular possessions, in 1900
was 93,1s2,240. The growth in pop
ulation in continental United States
from 1905 to 1906 was 1,367,315.
The population of continental Uuit-
ed States in 1905 as obtained by add,
ing to the returns of the states which
took a census in that year the esti-
mated population of the remaining
states and territories is s2,575,195, an
increase over 1900 of 6,579, 62o, or 81
per cent.
Computed on the basis of the es-
innate the density of the population
of continental United States IN 1906
was % persons per square mile, as
compared with &c in 1900.
The rapid growth of urban popula-
ton is noteworthy. The total esti-
mated population of incorporated
places having 5000 or more inhabi-
tants, exclusive OF San Francisco and
Los Angeles, Cal. is 2s,466, 624 fof
1905. an increase over 1900 of 3,912,-
1873, or 1879 per cent. while the es-
timated population of the United
States exclusive of these cities show
ed an increase of 4,4s0,0O3, or only
's.s per cent
The lightweight cities with an es-
timated population of $4,000 or more
in 1905 had total estimated popula-
ton of 1871 ,167, an increase of g.
766,s63, or 1853 per cent, over that re-
ported at the twelfth census.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.
Indiana Has Claims That Cannot Be
Ignored

The reference in the dispatches to
Galusha A. Grow as "the author of
the homestead law" will probably call
forth some dissent from several quar-
tiers, Indiana has been accustomed TO
regard George W. Julian as standing
in a paternal attitude toward the
homestead law, or at least consid-
cradle portion of homestead legisla-
ton, for there are really several
homestead laws. 1t would perhaps be
difficult to tell where the homestead
proposition originated. but the earli-
est public declaration for it seems to
have been by the Free Democrats"
in their Buffalo platform of 1S4S.
From that time on it was a generally
accepted free soil principle.
In the congress of 1S50-1S51 bill
was introduced to give 100 acres OF
land to an actual settler who was the
head of family. 1t appears to have
been the bill OF Andrew johnson OF
Tennessee and AZ least was reported
by him as chairman of the Committee
on Agriculture. This was referred
to the committee of the whole on Jan.
%, 1851, and Mr. Julian moved to re-
consider the vote On this motion he
made a speech the following day, in
favor of homestead legislation, which
is printed at page 135 of the appen-
dix to the Record. All this was before
Calusha A. Grow was a member of
Congress, as he did not enter until
Dec 3, 1881.
In 1852 the Free Soil party declar-
ed for a homestead law, and Julian
was the party's candidate for Vice
President. The fight for such law
had been going on in Congress and
Grow, like other free sellers. had
supported it. The measure became
one of the policies of the Republican,
party, and finally became law at the
session of 1s61-1s62, when Grow was
speaker.
But this law did not satisfy Julian
because it still permitted the sale of
lard in quantities to spectators. In
1868, as chairman of the committee
on Public Lands, he reported a bill
withdrawing the remaining public
lands from sale except under preemp
ton and homestead laws, to actual
settlers, and on March 6 made q
speech in favor of this policy, which
was printed and circulated as a cam
paign document in that year. The
policy of this speech was afterwards
adopted in dealing with the public
lands. Under these circumstances In
diana can not surrender the claims OF
Mr.. Julian, and especially in favor OF
Mr.. Crow

A Country Editor Enjoys Life.

The publisher of country weekly
takes a satirical view of his position.
as follows: Every once in while
some cheerful individual remarks to
us, well, now that the paper is out
I suppose you can take it easy for
three or four days" Yes, how de-
lightful it is that country editor has
practically nothing to do between
press days. Business runs along au-
tomatically. When paper bills come
due money drops off the trees with
which to pay them. Subscribers vie
with each other to see who can pay
the farthest in advance. And the
day the news hunts up the editor is
also pleasant to contemplate. There
is something really strange about the
way news items act When the paper
is out the editor simply goes to his
desk and leans back in his easy chair
and looks wise and waits for next
weeks press day. The day before the
press day the people line up in front
of the Office door and then they file
past his desk and tell him all the
news of the week. He writes it up in
fifteen or twenty minutes takes it
back and hangs it on the hook. The
compositors take the copy, shake il
over the type cases, say few mystic
words, the type flies into. place, and
after few passes by the foreman the
forms are ready for the press again
And the editor goes down and de-
posts some money in the bank. 1t is
the greatest snap in the catalogue
Now if the editor could only do away
with press day. his joy would be com
plete.
