STATISTICS FOR FOGRESS.
Prom the census bureau there
have been recently issued two
bulletins that the San Francisco
Call considers even more encour-
aging than the most booming of
their predecessors. One of them
•hows that the length of life of
the average American is Bteadily
increasing, while the other shows
the wonderful expansion of the
nation itself. The two things lit
together very well, for notwith-
standing the increased facilities
for traveling and other means of
acquiring knowledge, the coun-
try is growing so rapidly that
were it not for the fact that life
ie lengthening, the nation might
soon become so big that no citi-
zen could hope to live long
enough to acquire a clear un-
derstanding of it.
A telegrapic summary of the
bulletin giving the statistics of
longevity says: "The report
shows that there was an increase
in the median age of the white
population during each decade
from 1810 to 1900 amounting in
the ninety years to 7.4 years, or
an average of about five-sixths
of a year in a decade. The me-
dian age of the colored popula-
tion increased three years in the
seventy years period from 1830
to 1900, or only about half as fast
as that of the whites. But dur-
ing the last twenty years of the
century the increase for the two
groups has been substantially
the same, 1.9 years for the color
ed and 2 years for the white."
That is a good showing for our
improved sanitary syetems, our
increased knowledge of the caus-
es and cure of diseases and our
healthier method of life. Doubt
less also much is due to the
change in our manner of cook
ing and dining. It is probable
that the increase in longevity
will continue from decade to de-
cade for some time to come, and
eventually it will not be uncom
mon for people to live out a cen
tury of healthful life.
The growth of the nation has
been one of the marvels of the
world. Apart from Alaska and
the islands of the sea our terri
tory has increased during the
century from 327,844 to 3,025,000
square miles, or more than 265
per cent. With all this vast in-
crease of area our density of pop
ulation has increased from 3.0 to
26 1 to the square mile, or 622
per cent. Jn the last fifty years
only our national wealth has in
oreased from $7,000,000,000 to
$94,000,000,000, or 1243 pet cent,
and the per capita wealth from
$307 to $1235, or more than 300
per cent. The public debt has
fallen in the century, through
many fluctuations, from $45 to
less than $13 per capita, and so
on all along the line.
There is a record of Republi-
can growth and Democratic
wealth that makes empires and
royalties appear small, Clearly
we need to keep up with such a
nation. It is to be noted, more
over, that on the whole the rec
ofd l« one of prosperity. There
have been hard times now and
then, but in the main we have
prospered as we have grown
May we continue to do so.

The Philadelphia North Amer-
ican says that J. P. Morgan has
been in communication with
President John Mitchell of the
Federation of Labor to ascertain
what eoaeeseiona will result in a
return to work by the miners.
It is the opinion of the Arkan-
sas Gazette that the trusts have
no reason to despair. New Jer-
sey will buy thfir flowers, The
court of errorrf and appeals of
that state has given permission
to the United StateB Steel Cor-
poration to put through the
scheme to convert $200,000,000 of
stock, the dividends on which
are a contingent charge, into
$200,000,000 of bonds, the inter-
est on which is a fixed charge.
The person the steel corporation
managers want to do this is be*
cause they must spend a vast
sum of money on improvements
of old plants or allow independ-
ent steel companies to forge
ahead of them. They must have
money for this purpose and for
working capital. Incidentally,
J. P. Morgan & Co., will receive
a commission of $10,000,000 for
handling this $200,000,000 deal.
Incidentally, the people pay the
freight.
It is the opinion of the Nash-
ville American that Speaker
Henderson's withdrawal from the
race for congress has sounded
the death knell of 'imperialism'
as a democratic issue. In other
words, Mr. Henderson's action
has forced the real issue, tariff
and trusts to the front, and there
they are likely to stay until 1904.
The Austin Tribune is author-
ity for the statement that 'he
children, wards of the state, at-

federate home are worryiug along

Pulitzer of New York, has been
arrested at Derby, Connecticut,
where he was masquerading as a
tramp, and has been fully iden-
tified and returned to the scene

Washington politicians believe
that the real reason of Hender-
son's withdrawal was fear that
he would be defeated by Boies,
the Democratic nominee for con-
gress in his district.
