latest Official Census Egtimates

S@AANAA 0NAAAo
Just as the 1910 census enumera-
ton is begun the census bureau comes
to the relief OF our curiosity with OFF,
cial estimates of the populations of
cities having over 10000 inhabitants
for the year 1907. This is the latest
estimate, and doubtless the last one,
that will be made by the bureau be-
fore the actual figures Of the enumera-
tion of 1910 are compiled.
The census estimate of Omaha's
1907 population is 127,768. 1t is
carefully explained, Of course, that
these estimates are made by taking
the figures for the nearest state or fed
ersl censuses and computing the an
nual increase thus disclosed on a per-
centage basis, with corrections for an
nexation of new territory or special
local conditions. The purpose of the
estimates is to secure the data on
which to base per capita statistics re-
lating to the different activities of the
various municipal governments.
In this connection, while the figures
for Omaha are naturally of prime in
terest to us. the estimates made for
certain other cities supposed to range
close to us in population may be men
toned:

Commenting on the sweeping lnvestiga-

there will be more old account books

that stubs of check books and cancelled

Prospect.

PROSPECT.
Cleveland Leader.
When it became known Monday that the
Standard Oil case n the American To
bacco company case would have to be
heard again before the supreme court. pre-
sumably next fall, there was a sharp ad-
vance in the New York stock market. The
feeling Of Wall street twas that the re-
bearing meant that the court was quite
evenly divided, and that without a full
bench there was small chance of ranging
five justices on one side Of these cases.
There, is one vacancy In the court now, on
account of Justice Brewers death. Justice
Moody has been too Ill to take part In
these cases, Five justices are necessary
to render a convincing decision, because no
smaller number would make a majority of
a full bench.
But on what sane theory does Wall
street find encouragement In such a sltua-
tion. In the highest court of the land? Is
It supposed that the filling Of Justice
Brewers place will be to the advantage OF
the trusts2 Is It possible that the masters
OF the stock market believe that the ooun-
try will be ready to give up legal war upon
great business m~onopolies. or
olies, when the supreme court divides
quite evenly on the question OF dissolving
two OF the greatest corporations in the
world?
II these theories give comfort to the
street" its mental vision Is sinEularly
narrow and short. No divided court OF
last resort will stop the warfare waged
upon huge corporations which are aecused
Of the unfair and Unlawful control Of i'm
portant industries. They viii have to get
a better bin Of health or else mend their
ways so plainly that the country viii be

mot estimated because abnormal.
1t goes without saying that the cen
sus bureau experts do not lay claim
to infallibility in their estimates, nor
do they do any more than apply a
formula for computation, which must
be subject to test and correction by
the actual enumerations that are
being made. The 1907 estimates,
however, should give us a closer idea
Of where we stand, both absolutely and
relatively, to other cities.

Ban On soldier Of Fortune.

II is most remarkable that Madriz
and Estrada should have sent their
agents to American shores for troops
to perpetuate the Niearaguan insur-
reetion, particularly since the sever
ance of relations between the two gov
ernments and the interference of the
State department comes as a matter
Of course and wisdom. The only won
der is that it should have been delayed
at all. and probably would not have
been but for the ordinary red tape re-
quired in verifying reports,
New Orleans, where the foreign bel
ligerents had established their recruit
ing stations, soon became filled, it is
said, with soldiers Of fortune, men
without any apparent purpose of call
ing in life, as willing to fight on one
side as the other, and large numbers
OF them enlisted, Some, in fact, had
done service before in the Nlcaraguan
army, and those who may have fought
for the government were just as will
ing to re-enlist against 1t. while the
former rebel was as ready to take his
second commission with his old enemy.
This is an index to the type of men
drafted into the armies Of Madriz and
Estrada, an unfavorable comment ON
the cause OF the war, to say nothing
Of the character OF the sodiery.
President Madriz. as the successor Of
Zeaya, is confronted with a formidable
task in attempting to shape the desti-
mics of a nation where wal is so lightly
regarded as this condition indicates.
His greatest achievement will be not
in conquering the army of Estrada,
but rather In yanquishing the barbara
belief in the minds OF his people that
was is mere pastime. The worst Of
It Is that the ineoherency of Mica
ragua's present s~o-called government
offers no assurance for the early
~ascendency of any such reasonable
ideal.

DOPE CONGRESS
WILL MEET

Washington, Dec 23.-OGe Of the
most interesting conventions to be held
in the coming year is the so-called
dope congress the congress for the
international control Of habit forming
drugs, the preliminaries for which are
now being arranged BY the government
Of the Netherlands Some years ago
diplomatic negotiations between China
and England resulted in an agreement
between the two powers By which
England agreed UP a gradual reduction
of the quantities. Of opium exported
from It's Asiatic possessions into China
in proportion as the Chinese govern
ment restricted the manufacture Of
opium In China
+ The great benefits which have re-
suited from this agreement have caused
the enlightened progressives who now
dominate the government Of the celes-
tial empire to seek more rapid re-
duction Of opium sale in China than is
/ provided for in the Anglo Chinese
treaty. AT the time Of the signing OF
this treaty certain influential citizens
Of the United States interested in the
state department in the plight Of China
from this point the agitation in this
country upon the subject Of a general
control Of habit ironing drugs has
steadily increased. Accordingly the
state department decided to take the
initiative in proposing a world confer
ence. The proposition was agreed 70
by all Of the powers but two Of them
disagreed as to the inclusion OF GER
tain drugs in the classification Of
habit forming drugs" This matter Is
being undertaken by the Netherlands.
Il will probably convene within the
next few weeks.

to recommit the Mann bill in the sen
ate has opened the way to putting
toll amendment on that general canal
reorganization measure in the senate
the house having an opportunity to act
on such amendment when the bill IS

the question as to how much tolls are
to be collected and in what way. wheth-
