Ihe Hnt Census. The oentos of 1890, preparations for which are already being made, prom- fsea to show a population lo the 17. S of more than 70,000,000. The population of 1880, according to the census of that year, was 50,155,783 per­ sons, of Whom 43,382,480 were native and 6,678,943 foreign born. The na­ tives had Increased 10.494,693 from the figures of 1870, which were 32,661,142, cr 31.5 percent. The foreign element had gained more slowly, bringing the percentage down to 38 per cent, for the entire population. This same rate of increase applied to the census of : 1880 will give an increase of 15,046,639 !$erao«» Oaring ten years ending in 1890, I t&'Qea. Harrison was approached the other day by a prominent man in d won a great deal of iction. He said that f the general's other •wishers had been Is together for two weeks, and would like to offer to present the president-elect with a White House stable. Gen. Harrison was very sorry that be could net ac- ©ept, "I assure you1' said he, "that 1 appreciate the kindness and generosity of my frtands, and also the spirit in which you make this oiler; but, while I have' not got a; fortune, 1 cannot accept it, as I believe that no man In the position of president of the United States can afford to be under peeonlary obligations even to his inti- •Mrte friends."

This year It was 47,000 less than twelve years ago. Yet Mississippi claims to have advanced lo'populatien. Three counties which !o?76 gave respectively 14,142 and| 303 Republican votes are credited with none this year.

Canadian papers catch np the cry of tha Democratic papers on this Bid®, that the "popular kvote shows a Victory" for free trade ideas, and second their motion that "the elec­ toral college system of electing jpresidents should be abolished.1 Our ;i?Madian friends do not stop to con- how the popular vote was made ^ Jiibowa Democratic plurality; the? drive directly at the point which indi- v: caiee on the surface hops for the ; iMttmate triumph of their hopes. * What they say only confirms the Re- psbHcan position, that the Democratic fairly b*d the Dominion and the jnother country with it in the struggle for free trade.
