POPULATION INCREASES.
The census bureau has pub
lished in a bulletin a discussion
of the increase of the population
in the United States as shown
rby the census of 1900.
The increase in the population
of continental United States, that
is, the United States exclusive of
Alaska and the recent insular
accessions, is 13,046,961, or 20.7
per cent. Only one country, Ar
gentina, has shown by the most
recent figures a in rapid
growth.
Among the five main divisions
of continental United States the
highest rate of increase is found
in the western division, and the
lowest rate in the north central.
In the decade from] 1890 to
1900, for the first time in our na
tional history, the southern
states increased faster than the
northern. East of the Missis
sippi, however, the northern
states as a group have grown in
the last 10 years somewhat
rapidly than the |southern but
west of that river the southern
states have increased'almist two
and one-half times as rapidly as
the northern, and it is this fa3t
which makes the growth of the
south as a whole exceed that of
the north.
The region west of the Missis
sippi river is still increasing
faster than east of ,ib, but the
difference between tne rates of
growth in the two regions dur
ing 183) bo 1900 WAS little mire
than oas-iifbh, jjof what it was
from 188) bo 1890.
YOUNG'S CANDIDACY.
Edward T. Young of Aopljton
has oeenbrought intoprominenae
by the St. Paul Dispitch calling
him the merger candidate for
attorney general. Tais, coupled
with the fait that Young is in
stituting a suit for'criminal libel
against the Dispatch, is bring
ing forth comments from the
press throughout the state, and
it is now practically 'c-u-tain that
he will be a candidate for the
office. In a letter to his home
paper, the Applebon Tribune,
Mr. Young denies that there is
any truth in the story published
in the St. Paul paper, saying
that as far as he is concerned it
is "villainously false in every
word and in every syllable."
Marked copies of the piper are
flooding the state. Had it been
desired that Mr. Young gbe_a
candidate for the office of attor
ney general no better plan than
the scare-head Dispatch article
could have been adopted for
assuring the carrying of his
campaign through jto a success
ful issue.
More fuel is being added to the
fire, and the state political pot
boils merrily on. It is liable to
boil over at anytime. When it
does someone will get,] burned.
Some of the would-be candidates
are in hot water now.
