The Continental Census Total.

Interest in the prospective announce
ment by the census ONCE of the total
population Of the United ates increases
as figures for each Of the states are pub
lished. Long ago the public expectation
was advanced from the. 9O.000.OO0 mark
which was held In mind generally before
the census was taken and there have
been some hopes Of q showing Of loO.-
100000. This. however. is probably above
the line of likelihood. Analysis OF the
announcements thus far made shows that
"A higher rate Of gain than that already
demonstrated In the states In which the
counts have been completed must have
occurred to bring the continental total to
fhe so.ooo.ooo point At this time the
bureau has proclaimed the total figures

Politics and Organization.

The National Democratic League Of
Clubs has taken very sensible step In
calling meeting for the 9th Of January
In this town. for the purpose of discuss
ing both the recent party victory and
plans for another of even greater size
two years hence. Strike while the irons
hot Hearten one another while the spir-
it's up.
The league is entitled to attention. 1t
worked hard and effectively in the re-
cent campaign, and having proved the
value of organization wants to be ready
for the next engagement. 1t purposes to
keep on keepin' on" and asks indorse-
ment OF it's program.
President SilIer of the league is quoted
as saving that lit is a mistake to dis
band political organizations after cleo
tons, and then wait until campaign is
under way to rebuild"
This is the correct view of the matter.
All the figures of speech we employ in
politics call for constant watchfuiness
and preparedness. We speak of a battle
between the two parties. and battle de-
mands trained men under competent lead
ership. We speak of race, and the de-
tails of a race should be in the hands of
those familiar with such contests. We
Hken politics to a game, and players
should be wise to all the rules that
govern.
Tammany Hall is frequently under dis
cusson, and widely under censure. 1t is
often denounced by men who yet in
pinch cooperate with 1t. Its name is as
ISOLATED with the worst local government
New York has ever known, and some OF
it's leaders in times past have been
odious in the eyes of the country.
What, then, explains Its persistency ana
frequent exhibitions Of power? Organiza-
uon. Tammany never disbands. 1t Is
always on the job. The seyerest OF drub-
binys never puts it out of business. 1t
poultices it's bruises. anoints its smarts'
and goes right ON waiting for the face OF
fortune to change from a frown to q
smile The greatest of successes does
not demoralize it. Vigilance is still en-
Joined upon all. and from top to bottom
every man remains in his place. ready to
obey the word of command.
II organization and untiring watchful-
ness can accomplish SO much in what Is
often bad cause, why should they not
be employed in a good cause? President
Siller wants his party friends to stay IN
politics the whole year round; to keep
up their interest in all that relates to the
party's good; to be ready to move at the
word of command. He would have vet
Grams enlisted under the democrats BAN
ner in every state, SO that party inter-
ests would be in seasoned hands.

Improving the Present.

If I should be a millionaire
I'd never go to see
A circus in the public square,
Nor Tom shows; no Stree.
I'd go to operas and I'd wear
A suit of formal make,
An do my best while l was there
To simply stay awake.
/ wouldn't laugh to see the clown
Nor hiss that man Legree;
I'D wear a very solemn frOwn
Till some one struck high C.
An then I'd gently wave my hand
And bravo l would say.
Still thinkin' bout the old brass band
And tunes it used to play.
A fortune teller long ago

An tes' enjoy myself.

An have some real fun instead
