Why XUt Ha-Otn'1 IOO.OOO,
OOO. President Lincoln, In the first year
of the civil war, prophe ld that, if the
secession movement could be promptly
auppreased, the United Stat a would
have a population or 103,108,(03 la
100.
He baaed thla prediction on the per
centage of lncreaae In population from
170 to 1860. The increase fion 1799
to 1800 waa a little over 85 per cent.
From 1800 to 1810, the Increase was
86.06 per cent There waa a decline in
the ratio of lncreaae In the next dec
ade, but In 1850 there was an increase
of 36.87 per cent, and In 1860 an ln
creaae of 35.58 per cent, making an
average decennial Increase of 34.61 per
cent In population for the seven y
years from 1780 to 1860.
Aasumlng that thli ratio of Increase
would be maintained, Mr. Lincoln pre
dicted that the United S a'ci wou'd
have a population of 42.323 000 In 1870,
M.W7.000 in 180, . 76.677.000 In . 4890,
103,208.000 In 1900, 138,918.000 In 1910,
1M.8S4.000 ia XO, and Z&l.fSO.OM) In
1930.
But the civil war came, and the per
centage of Increase from 1860 to 1870
fell to 22.(3 per cent The percentage
of Increase went up to 30 per cent In
1880, dropped to 24.83 per cent In 1890.
and to 21.83 per cent for the decade
ending with 1900.
The population in 1870 . failed to
reach Mr. Lincoln's estimate by 3,761,
000. In 1880 the population was
8,811.000 below the estimate, 14 055,000
below In 1890, and 26,913.000 below in
1900. The ratio of Increase for the last
decade waa the lowest In ninety years.

In all that Is said at university com

references to coeducation wh'ci oceir

la the- system of coeducation in
Northwestern Ualvers ty still on trial?
Perhaps!
The facts here, as at Stanford, seam
to ahow that It is a system which can
not be kept In a state of equilibrium,
because the phenomena of the high
schools are repeated at the universi
ties. The latter tend to become gi.-ls'
colleges. In ten years, fr ej ample,
the girls' attendance at Northwestern
bss Increased from 36 per cent t? near
ly 50 per cent, and tbl year theie
are more young women than y.un;
men In the graduating class. The gen
eral tendency has been incr.aed by
the policy of encoui aging gifts for dcr
mitoriea for. the young women in pref
erence to the young men, and Dr. Bon
bright suggests that the girls' enroll
ment should be limited by the capacity
of the dormitories.

It waa first reported that Spanish
was to be the language of the Fill
nino courts for five years, but Judge
Taft's code has been amended on m
lion of Mr. Ide to that both Spanish
and English may be used In court pro
ceedings, and the records must be kept
In both. This modification was de
sirable because the language of the
government which controls the coun
try should appear In all the official
records, but any forcible attempt to
make English the language of the peo
ple would certainly end In failure and
a modification under gentler Influences
will require years for its accomplish
ment. Though the Spaniards were In
possession of the Islands for three cen
turies and more, Spanish had not be
come the universal language of the na
tives when the Spanish rule was ter
minated. There were several uinereni
languages and between twenty and
thirty different dialects, and many of
the people knew no Spanish at all.
Time had simply sufficed to make It
common mar the seats of government.

Commercial Feature of China.
The predlctloa cf Jean de B oca that

markets Is much nearer the troth than
the notion that the oriental empire la
somehow to give all to other nations
and receive nothing in return. The
country is not a wilderness of natural
wealth which can be absorbed by tba
outsider. It haa- an enormous industrial
population as well as unequal utter
si resources, and because It haa both
it presents a peculiar problem.
We find our greatest trade with the
United Kingdom, whose people poeaaaa
a high degree of manufacturing skill,
but who dwell upon such a restricted
territory that tbey must get their food
and the raw materials for their work
elsewhere. Tbey took from $640,699,
989 worth of our exports during the
ten months ending with April, and
sent us $119,994,370 worth of their ex
ports.Of the tremendous bill which
they paid us no lees than $340,000,000
was for provisions, cotton and bread
stuffs. During the same pertod China sent
us $15,803,147 worth of exports and
took from us only $7,423,348 worth of
Imports. The figures look pitiably
small after those for the United King
dom, and though it is certain that they
will be Increased while China is In
transition, we have nothing that Is
permanently necessary for the supply
of China, any more than we have the
power to exploit the country as if it

A. mu4tne44 -Education.
President Forgan of the First Na
tional bank of Chicago, has added his
testimony to that of other leading Chl
cagoans in regard to the shortcomings
of our public schools In teaching the
rudiments of a practical business edu
cation. In his. address before the
graduating class of Lake Forest Uni
versity he outlined the educational
qualifications which he regards as
most helpful In attaining success In a
business career. They are few and
simple:
1. To be able to write a good legible
hand, to make good figures, and to
place them correctly the units be
low the units, the tens below the tens,
and so on.
2. To be able to add, subtract and
multiply rapidly and accurately.
3. To be able to express yourself
clearly, briefly and grammatically in a
letter and to spell the words correct
ly. Elementary as these qualifications
are, Mr. Forgan says the young men
who possess them are rare. Though
he has taken many youths Into busi
ness, he says he can remember scarce
ly one who could be relied upon to do
the simple things just enumerated.
Many of them were graduates of high
schools, yet they could ' not always
write legibly, figure accurately, or spell
correctly. Perhaps they could write
a thesis on mythology, physiology or
biology, but they had not mastered
the first rudiments of the business In
which they hoped to make a livelihood.
Mr. Forgan says there must be some
thing wrong with a school system
that produces these results, and his
belief is shared by nearly every suc
cessful business man who employs
young men and women.

HUNTING BURIAL GROUND.
Elder Riddle and Brother Looking Over
Old Mormon Fort.
NIOBRARA, Neb., June 26. In
1846 a settlement of Mormons at
tempted to make a borne on the oppo
site side of the Niobrara river. Traces
of this short-lived settlement of the
saints still existed when the first
white settlement was made In 1856.
An old mill burr was found on the
island and what waa supposed to be
a canal for power purposes existed.
An old Mormon elder named Isaac
Riddle, from Utah, and his brother.
J. H. Riddle of Crete, who were mem
bers of the ancient settlement, nave
been here for two days. They are In
search of the remalna of relatives
who are said to be here, also to look
over the ground where they had
forts.
. It is thought that they may be
looking for treasures that were bur
led here, but this is not credited.
They say that they never worked the
mill burrs by water power, but by
horse power, and that supposed canal
was a freak of nature.
The history of this Morman settle
ment has been try meager and until
now no one has been able to tell
anything about that part of the early
white population In this section.

Tattle There waa a liberal run ef cat
tle and as a result packer did not have
to hurry In order to get all the supplies
they wanted. It was late before the mar
ket opened and the tendency was to
pound down prices all around. Receipts
included close on to ninety cars uf beef
steers. Buyers went tha rounds and bid
lower on nearly everything. Hellers were
holding for steady prices, ao that It was
lata before much of anything was done.
Some of the better grades sold at a rea
sonably early hour at Just about yester
day's prices, but all others were very
slow and In most cases a little lower.
Packers did not seem to care much
whether they got the cattle or not, so
that It was rather late before the bulk
of the offerings were out of flrt hands.
Cow stuff alao sold lower unless In the
case of some of the choicer grades of
heavyweight cows and heifers. They
were not far from steady, but the light
stuff and the commoner kinds, and par
ticularly the grasserfl, could be quoted
very slow and 510c lower. Choice bulls
were about steady, but others were
lower. The same was true of veal calves
and stags. The light receipts of feeders
continued today, and, in fact, there were
not enough offered to make a test of the
market. The few that changed hands did
so on a basis of Just about steady prices.
Hogs There was a fairly liberal run of
hogs and buyers went In from the start
to get their hogs for less money. The
opening market was weak to 2'c lower,
and after the first round it was gener
ally 2c lower. The close was weak at
the decline. On the start some of the
packers went around and picked up the
better loads at and some at 85.95,
and as high as $6.00 was paid. The bulk
of the hogs, however, sold at $5.90 ani
Sheep There was not a heavy run of
sheep and the market held just about
steady. Trading was not particularly act
ive, but still most everything was out of
first hands early In the morning. A bunch
of grass yearlings and wethers sold .'it
$3.35, while a bunch of native fed weth

la hopeful, according to Consul Gen
eral Lay at Barcelona, in a report
which makes up the greater part of
the latest extract from "Commercial
Relations,' made public by the bureau
of foreign relations, State depart
ment. Since the old trade treaty waa can
celled with Spain no new compact baa
been effected to take its place and
hence Spain Is obliged to impose max
imum tariff duties on American goods,
which amount to discriminatory rates.
However, it is thought that the ef
forts of Mr. Storer, as minister to
Spain, will soon bear fruit and that
mutually satisfactory traderelattona
between the two countries will be es
tablished. In aplte of the drawbacks,
American goods at elevated prices And
ready sale in Spain and any feeling
against the United States as a nation
engendered by the late war la fast
disappearing.
Consul Brown, at Carthagena, states
that he had hundreds of applications
during the past year from young Span
iards who are desirous of settling in
Cuba. He also says it is a positive
fact that Spain, with the burden of
past reverses still partly upon it, fc
advancing with slow but steady strides
on the road to prosperity The poor
er classes are getting higher wages,
all classes pay more taxes and have
more money to pay them with and
the entire regeneration of the country
