The high rate of increase of popula

_ „ , , may give rise, to the
The Center of • *
query as to wheth-
Populntion. ,
er the center of
population in the present census will
move westward. An im*r<-ase of popu*
lation of about 20 per cent, has been
reported in Washington in the past ten
years, 9.7 per cent, in Cincinnati, 27.6
per cent, in Louisville. .'17.77 per cent, in
Buffalo, 39.34 per cent, in .Milwaukee
and 32.28 per cent, in Providence. These
are the only important cities whose
population has been reported thus far
by the censiu> authorities. It will be
noticed, remarks' the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat, that the highest gains are
in the eastern cities of Buffalo • and
Providence, except that reported fur
Milwaukee. The lowest increase is in
Cincinnati, a western town. This is
much lower than that- reported in
Washington. Moreover, Providence is
the only city whose figures have been
Bent in which has reported a propor
tionate gain in the past ten years ex
ceeding that of the previous decade. It
frhows a higher rate of growth even
<than thia t which its authorities claimed,
which is a still more remarkable cir
cumstance. All this mat give rise to
Ihe presumption that perhaps the es
timates in most of the eastern centers
■were more conservative than were
those in the west, and that, after all,
1-hefull returns may show fully as great
a gain in the population of the states
east. of the Alleghanics as was scored in
those w i st of that range. In the state
<-eneuse.sof lStis.it was noticed.the gains
•were somewhat greater in the east
Ulian in the west. Only about a quarter
of the states had counts of population
an that year, but the grow th was great
er in the eastern commonwealth- and
one state. Kansas, reported a decline
between IStJO and 1595. In 1790 the pop
ulation center of the United States was
about 23 miles east of Baltimore.
Since that- time it has. been constantly
moving westward, at an average rate
of about five miles a year. In IS9O the
center w;is 20 miles east of Columbus',
lnd. It was l expected that the count of
191KJ would show that that point had
moved about 50 miles nearer to the Illi
nois line, but perhaps, this expectation
will be disappointed. The chances, of
course, are that the westward move
ment of the- population center i> still
under way. but it issafe to assume that
a much smaller expanse of ground will
be covered than in any previous.decade.
Whatever the reason may be bi
cycles and their riders are not nearly
t-o numerous this year as in years
past. This is especially noticeable at
the popular summer resorts. Large
hotel keepers, who last year found it
necessary to provide basement accom
odation for 100 wheels or more, say
that 20 wheels is a large number this
season in a house of 200 or 300 guests.
The coming of the automobile docs
not account for this decline of the
"bike," for the automobile is too ex
pensive for general use, says a wheel
ing authority. Can it be that golf,
which is everywhere in evidence, has
temporarily eclipsed the wheel? Or did
the discarding of the "bike" by the
fashionable set, on the ground that it
liad become "too common," lead to its
disuse by the far greater number who
are the fashion makers?
At the last monthly meeting of the
Berks county (Pa.) Agricultural so
ciety President James McGowan at
tributed the excellent condition of the
crops in the southern portion of Berks
county to the heavy ulasting that is
done at the Trappe rock quarries,
near Hampton. Heavy charges of
dynamite are used, and the reverbera
tions are f.eard for miles around. The
■very heavy blasts are invariably fol
lowed by showers of rain, and it is
the frequent showers that have helped
the crops.
"Should women wear their hats in
church?" This question came up for
discussion among the trustees of a
church in Lexington, Mo,, and one in
genious gentleman suggested that the
matter might be adjusted by com
pelling the ladies to all sit together
on one side of the auditorium, and
thus "permit them to view the preach
er through a jungle of ribbons, feath
ers and gewgaws."
WHERE 1 HEY COULD DO HARM.
Krff Tfmlf anil l'"r«*r Silver lllililvn
\%vuy 1.11 lit*r Anti-Imperial
ism Howl.
Tn his s|>ceeh accepting 1 the populist
nomination for presick-nt Bryan tried
to justify the democracy'* successive
changes of "paramount" base from
tree trade to free silver and from free
silver to free slaughter-called "anti
imperialism"—on the ground that sys
tems of taxation can be changed with
less difficulty than financial systems,
and financial .systems can be altered
with less danger and less disturbance
to the country,, than the vital timetriuesi
upon which free government rests.
In such a suggestion of the com
parative ease with •which both free
trade and free silver can lie accom
plished through a democratic victory,
Bryan admits 1 something dangerously
suggestive of truth. Jle practically
states that the democracy need not
fight especially just now for either
free trade or free filver, because if a
victory be won for "anti-imperialism"
both free trade and free silver would
be easy incidentals to such victory. As
a matter of fact if Bryian could be able
by his election to the presidency to
accomplish his "anti-imperialism"
plank by alienating our territory, he
could accomplish just as easily both
free trade and free silver. If a repub
lican. senate woulti be a barrier to free
trade and free silver it would also be
a barrier to his schemes, for uncon
stitutionally abandoning the territory
belonging to the United; States. If
Bryan tried to get the senate to rat
ify a treaty with Aguinaldo surrender
ing 1 American rights and the rights of
our Filipino allies, and also a new
treaty with Spain absolving us from
our responsibilities under the old
treaty, it would take a two-thin s vote
of the senate each time. liryau worked
hard to get the necessary two-thirds
vote for thie treaty with) Spain by
which the I nited States came into
possession of the territory he now
wants given away, audi he was suc
cessful in his work. To undo that
work he would have to strive a great
deal harder. To get a free train' bill,
or a free silver bill through, he has.
however, only to get a majority of
votes in the house of representatives
and the senate. it the cemocratie
partv can get the control of both
branches of congress, that wouli. en
able it to fully carry out Bryan's
"paramount" anti-American policy in
the Philippines, it would also have t he
power to still more easily carry into
effect tlw unparamount free trade am:
free silver features of Bryan's pro
gramme.
CURRENT COMMENT.
trrDo not forget that General Pros
perity is on the stump for the repub
lican party.- Indianapolis Journal.
ICSome way or another .Mr. Bryan
cannot find time to say anything
about the application of the "eonsent
of-the-governed" principle to North
Carolina.- Indianapolis News (L)em.).
ICShouldi Col. Bryan be elected
president his anti-militarism would,
of course, impel him to resign that
part of the office which makes the
holder commander in chief of the
army and navy.—San Francisco
Chronicle.
CTSome P.ryanites pretend, that tin
senate, as now constituted, is a se
cure bulwark against free silver, but
they are tricksters. No gold demo
crat can vote for this man Bryan and
have an easy conscience thereafter. —
lowa State Register.
C7"\Ye dio not object," says Mr.
Bryan, "to the honest accumulation
of wealth." Neither do we, but is
running for president in the interest
of repudiat ion, fiat ism and treason
to the flatr an honest way to accumu
late wealth?— Cincinnati Commercial-
Tribune.
trr Four y?ars ago there was a in an
sitting on a nail keg in every country
grocery in Kansas declaring that the
price of the world's commodities is
ruled by the price of silver. Now 11n
state might be scraped with a fine
toothed comb without once bringing
such an argument to light.—Topcka
Capital.
ICMr. Bryan said to his fellow
citizens of Lincoln: "Parties do nat
make issues." Is this a confession of
the inability of the democratic par
ty to make an issue which offers even
n faint hope of success? The cam
paign is about to open and the democ
racy is poverty-stricken as to issues,
not because it has failed to hunt for
them in every quarter, but because
those it. has tried to raise have come
to naught.—-Chicago Tribune.
insincerity as a free
trader was illustrated by his wedding
to free silverism; his insincerity as
to silverism is freshly accentuated by
his courtship of anti-imperialism. He
appears to be a trimmer, a flatterer
and. a double dealer. He plays for
effect, before the American people and
as a theatric spectacle he is moder
ately successful —as a statesman he
does not impress those who are im
mune to inflamed passion and the
virus of disloyalty.—Detroit Journal.

movement which deserved a bettei
fate. Between MeKinley and Bryan
in the Philippine matter, he prefers
the former, and makes the significant
prediction that ninet een-t went ict lis of

"These comprised fully one-half of
the number of votes received bv Me-
Kinley." Deliberate assertion of dem
ocratic National Chairman James K.
Jones.
"lie believed devoutly that I'rvan
had been elected and was swindled
out of the presidency."
"He believed that in 1900 the bi
metallic forces would win a great vic
tory."
His declaration that the principles
of 1896 are "Absolutely essential to
the welfare of the country."
The man who advocated the gold
standard he denounced as "No better
than a vile thief."
(From the address of United States
Senator James K. Jones, chairman of
the democratic national committee,
before the legislature of Arkansas.)
"Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners, who were here takiiTg
bread out of the mouths of honest la
bor, voted at the last election at the
dictation of MeKinley's supporters.
These foreigners comprised fully one
half of the number of votes received
by MeKinley."
These are the words of the man
who conducted the democratic cam
paign in 1896. The same man is the
present chairman of the democratic
national committee. He owes his po
sition to the wish of Mr. Bryan,
The language quoted above was
used in a speech. It is no remem
bered scrap of idle conversation. It
was uttered in no heat of discussion.
It was a deliberate expression.
"Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners," said Chairman James K.
Jones of the democratic national com-
mittee. "who came here taking bread
out of the mouths of honest labor,
voted at the last election at. the die
lation of McKinley's supporters.
These foreigners comprised fully one
half the number of votes received by
MeKinley."
And then on this basis that the re
publican party owed success in 1 S9<">
to "ignorant foreigners," Chairman
Jones proceeded to hold out the hope
of success in 1900.
"Can there be any doubt," he asked,
"as to which shall prevail, the six and
one-lialf millions of intelligent Bryan
voters, or the three and one-half mil
lions of ignorant foreigners who voted
for MeKinley?"
It will seem to sensible people al
most incredible that the chairman of
the democratic national committee
could make such statements in a pub
lie speech. But Hon. James K. Jones
did it.
More than two months after the
election of 1806 he uttered the asser
tions quoted.
The occasion was no less serious
than an address before the legislature
of Arkansas. Senator Jones had just
been elected to his third term in the
United States senate. On the 20th of
January, 1897, the senator appeared
before an informal joint session of his
state legislature at the capitol in Lit
tle Rock. He returned his thanks to
the people of Arkansas tnrough their
representatives, the legislature, and
then he proceeded to discuss the de
feat of Bryan, speaking as the chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee and the head of the manage
ment of the democratic campaign. He
said that he "believea devoutly that
Bryan had been elected and was
swindled out of the presidency."
He declared his belief "that in 1900
the bimetallic forces would win a
great victory." This sad makes 16 to
1 the paramount issue.
He reasserted his conviction "that
the principles he spoke for were ab
solutely essential to the welfare of
the country." That is 16 to 1.
The senator spoke for over an hour.
Running through his speech were two
principal thoughts. One was this
idea that republican success hadi been
achieved through the "ignorant for
eigners." a result which the senator
resented in the name of the native
southern population which was "more
American."
The other central idea with the sen
ator was the injustice of Ihe unequal
distribution of wealth. I'pon this he
dwelt with almost the emphasis which
he gave to the "ignorant foreigners."
"What has been the cause of this
great struggle?" the senator asked.
"The people are as honest and as
industrious as they ever were. What
then was the matter? The last cer.-
MIS report shows that the wealth of
the country was s6s.ooo,o(X>,ofK}, or
about $5,000 to each family of five
members. The senator quoted figures
to show the inequality in the distri
bution of wealth. Why was Massa
chusetts so much better off than Ar
kansas? Were they more industrio us
and more deserving? lie considered
that the southern people rank fu I'y
up to, if not ahead of, the people in
the balance of the country. The
southern people are more completely
Anglo-Saxon than those of the other
states and therefore more American."
At this point the chairman of Un
democratic national committee mad
one of the most remarkable of this
series of startling statements for Ar
kansas consumption. He illustrated
his assertion that the southern people
are "more American" than the rest of
the country in this way:
"It took the people of the cm
bined north and east four years to
conquer the southern people and tie
latter had built for them a pension
list that was appalling."
The senator's speech bristled with
assertions intended to incite the spir
it of class prejudice, lie said:
"Millionaires and paupers grow- on
the same bush. When you make a
millionaire you make dozens of pau
pers."
The man who advocated the gold
standard the senator described as "No
better than a vile thief."
Money >l»r<* Plentiful.
It is> difficult to believe that Bryan
said at Topcka that the republican
party by its recent financial bill hits
"practically confessed an intent tore
tire the greenbacks." The new law
simply provides for the redemption of
the greenbacks/ and their reissue
against gold. Bryan also asserted, that
the republican party is now commit
ted to a currency system which "ne-
ces'sotate* a perpetual debt," when ev
erybody knows that one of the main
efforts' of the republican party, and
one of the mo»l successful, has been
to reduce and refund the debt handed
down from a democratic administra
tion. Why is* it that Bryan makes
these extraordinary assertions? Be
cause hi- was talking to populists
who will believe almost anything, and
yet, speaking to such hearers, he
had to lead their minds away from the
fact of an advition ol' over eighty mil
lions to the currency in the last year.
It is oangerous to let pops see how
the quantity of money has been in
increased.
Consent of tlie Vm-oereeil.
The so' d south is the strongest
backer of Bryan. It produces the cot
ton 'vhich is the most conspicuous
factor in our wonderfully increasing
Asiatic trace. The material interests
of the scutli demand expansion, and
the merest glance at conditions in
North Carolina and Louisiana, as
sample states, will indicate how much
solicitous care will be taken in the
Philippines to secure the uncoerced
consent of the dark-skinned governed.

Colonel Dockery, the democratic
candidate for governor of Missouri,
recently said in a speech at Lone Jacke
that "no person in the vast and intelli
gent audience within sound of his

But his- remark is> scarcely to be taken
seriously. None uttered by democratic

Saratoga, X. Y„ Sept. 5. —The prac
tical work of the republican .stale
convention was completed Tuesday
witli the adoption of tiie platform.
The republican state conven
tion was called to order by State
Chairman Odell. Lieut. Gov. Wood
ruff was chosen temporary chairman.
Mr. Woodruff nrraiirricd Ihe officials
of New York City for their alleged
cnnncetion with the ice trust. At the
close of Woodruff s address the usual
resolutions for permanent organisa
tion, etc.. were adopted and u recess
was voted until t p. m.
The convention was failed to order
at 4:16 o'clock and the eh airman of
the credentials committee said:
"There are no contests in the enlire
state."
The committee on permanent or
ganization reported the name of Ne
vada M. Stranalian for permanent
chairman and lie was escorted to the
chair. Mr. Stranalian's speech was
punctuated with applause at various
points. The most prolonged demon
stration occurred when Mr. Strana
han declared that the span of life
would never see the day when the.
people would relinquish one inch of
the territory secured at the sacrifice
of the blood and life of the citizens
of this republic. When Mr. Strana
lian finished. Senator Haines present
ed the platform. It was adopted
without debate. The following' is a
synopsis of the platform:
"The count ry was never so pros
perous as it has been sine the inau
guration of William McKinley. Capi
tal has never been so actively occu
pied, the volume of money In eircu,
lation was never so great, labor
never so fully employed, wages never
so high, prices never so generally
good.
"Conscious of the weakness of rely
ing' oti the theories that have been
exploded and of ignoring facts that
are self-evident, the democrats are
undertaking to push into conspicuous
posit ion before the people an issue
which they describe and stigmatize
by the word imperialism. In this
course they are characteristically
dishonest.
"Neither in the Philippines nor
elsewhere will the cause of human
liberty look for its champion to a
party whose only hope of obtaining
power lies in the suppression of hu
man rights and in an organized con
spiracy to nullify the guaiantees with
which the constitution endeavors to
surround the citizen. From thou
sands of polling places in this elec
tion, in which the democratic party
is so much concerned about the 'eon
sent of the governed," the negro citi
zen will be excluded by laws so con
trived as to keep out the negro re
publican, while admitting the white
democrat, though both present them
selves with similar qualifications ex
cept as to color. The party which
will not allow the constitution to fol
low the flair through the Carolinas,
through Mississippi and Texas has
no occasion to distress itself about
the constitution's journey 4,000 miles
across the ocean.
"There is no middle course between
responsibility for the government of
the Philippines and abandoning them
to be seized by some other power.
The democratic plan of conferring
■sovereign rights upon the Filipinos
and at the same time establishing a
protectorate over them is impractic
able. It is responsibility without
authority.
"We endorse the administration of
President .McKinley and urge his re
flection; we congratulate the poor
people upon the nomination for vice
president of Gov. Uoosevelt, whose
high place in the admiration of his
countrymen. achieved by long public
service and especially bv his valor on
the field of battle, has been advanced
by his splendid record as the gover
nor of Vew York."
After the adoption of the platform
the convention adjourned until to
day.
Saratoga, N. Y„ Sept. 6.—The re
publican convention adjourned Wed
nesday. The session was in reality a
ratification of what had been aecom
plished. The announced appearance
upon the platform of such men as

pew and (iov. Roosevelt insured such
a feast of oratory that every seat in
the great convention hall was occu

The features of the convention
were the return of cx-Gov. black to

Assaults on JVesrroes in New Vork Cll}
Continue- Police Avert a Lynching*
New ork, Sept. 4.—An apple core
thrown by a colored boy which
struck William Kohles, n white man,
caused a small riot between whites
and blacks in West Forty-eighth
street Monday afternoon which was
quickly quelled by a force of patrol
men.
Kohles is a vender. )Te was driving
through Forty-eighth street when he
passed a crowd of small colored boys
and was struck in the back of the
neck with the core of an apple. The
man was stabbed in tlit- neck a week
previous by a colored man, the cut
requiring several stitches. The ven
der became very angry at the boy
and, after catching him, slapped his:
face a number of times.
A colored man finally struck the
vender in the face, knocking him
down. The exchange of blows at
tracted a crowd and threats were
made against the colored population.
It is alleged Kohles drew a revolver
and threatened to shoot the first col
ored man in sight. The colored boy
entered the residence of Charles
Brooks, colored. This attracted the
mob to the building. Brooks, who
had been ill with typhoid fever, was
taken to the police station despite
the pleadings of his wife, who ex
plained that he had been ill and that
a relapse might follow. He was af
terwards released.
In the meantime William 11. Fet
tilo, colored, and his daughter liuth,
7 years old, were passing through
Forty-seventh street when a crowd o?
white men started after them. The
girl ran away and escaped. Her
father and two other negroes ran
into the saloon of Lee Springle. Tha
crowd started to follow the colored
men, when Springle drew his revolv
er and threatened to kill ihe first
white man who entered. He stood in
the doorway and defied the crowd. A
policeman finally dispersed the
crowd.
About the same hour that this oc
curred a colored woman armed with
a hat pin and a razor nearly caused
another race riot on Ninth avenue.
She was taken in charge by a police
man and followed to the West Thir
ty-seventh street station by a crowd
of 300 men and boys who wanted to
lynch her.
A man who said Tie was Michael
firannin was standing at .Thirty
ninth street and Ninth avenue when
the woman approached him. They
exchanged a few words and the wo
man attempted to stab Grannin with
r> pin. Grannin succeeded in
dodging. Then llie woman drew a
razor and attempted to slash Gran
nin. Finally a policeman caught the
woman and secured possession of the
razor. Before he reached the station
house the crowd had increased, and
there were cries of "Lynch her." A
half dozen policemen finally rushed
up and Kept the, mob at a distance.
After the woman had been taken in
the police station her husband ap
peared on the scene. Threats were
made to lynch him also, but a large
number of policemen finally succeed
ed in driving the mob away.
A row in which only colored people
became involved started in a house
on West Sixty-third street. As a re
sult Charles Daniels, colored, the jan
itor of the apartment house, is dying
at the hospital. He was shot by Ben
jamin Carter, 28 years old, also a
colored janitor. Carter was arrested
The cause of the trouble is not
known, but it is said that Daniels and
several colored men endeavored to
enter the flat despite the protests of
the residents therein.
RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
A Pennsylvania Desperado I* Hunted
DIIWII und Killed,
Harrisburg, Fa., Sept. 4. —Francis
Frohm, alias Strohm, a desperate
criminal, was riddled with bullets by
a party of farmers Monday morning
in the vicinity of Kll/abethville, Pa.,
and killed instantly. Frohm and two
companions, known as Frank Winiski
and "Whitey" Streusser, on Friday
night shot a man named Strayer at*
Klizabethville, while trying to rob his
house. The next morning Winiski
was arrested at Klizabethville and iff
now in jail.
Frohm did not stop his depreda
tions after the three separated on
Friday night, but went to the vicinity
of Lykens, where he laid in hiding
until Saturday night, when he smash
ed the window of Bressler's store
and made off with a number of re
volvers and razors. Yesterday the
entire neighborhood turned out to
hunt him und caught him on
mountain. Frohm was armed and,
drawing two revolvers, he shot at his
pursuers. They returned the fire and.
literally riddled Frohm with bullets..
He died in half an hour.
