a great miration over Secretary Hay 's
condescension in agreeing to submit
the amended treaty to (.treat tit it a in
without a word of disparagement.
We should like to know just what
country Secretary Hay imagines ho
represents in this canai matter any
way!
There is not much difference betweon
warship and worship, and modern
evangelization goes upon the
assumption that the one leads to the
other. The wars in China and tin

The ship subsidy bill was drawn
primarily by the agents of the American
line and has recently been deliberately
amedod in order to enable
.that line to ruke of. twice the subsidy
it would get under the original bill.
Truly "the bill has been much improved",
as Mark lfanr.a declared in
Ihe Senate a few days ago.
Before our next issue, Xmns will
have come and gone. We take this
opportunity to express our appreciation
of the very liberal advertising
patronage accorded Tin: Timks by our
hustling and wide-awake merchants,
during the year that is now rapidly
drawing to a close. We havo earnestly
atrived to givo them a good
eervlce and wo have reason to believe
that our work has her n appreciated,
and judging from the increased trade
reported by these merchants no pre
?ume that our readers nave oeen
carefully watching the various announcements
of our merchants, in
their advertisements, and embracing
fchi opportunities otTered from time
t> time, to secure bargains. And
we trust the service lias been mutually
beneficial to all parties concern
ei. We also wish to return our
thanks for, and to express our appreciation
of, the many kind expressions
of appreciation by many of our
readers, of our efforts to give them a
good newspaper.
To one and all, we most sincerely
wish you a merry Christmas and
many returns of these happy occasions.
In the words of Rip Van
Winkle: "Here's to you and yours,
you Jive long and prosper." j

It will be seen that Union stands
mighty well up in this ii>t, occupying
the 7th position of the twenty-three
towns and cities named. We are
right up ngainsi Anderson, Sumter
and Rock Mill, and have outstripped
our friend across ths way, Newberry,
by nearly one tirmsand. Looking at
the matter this way, and remembering
that only ten short years ago wo
had n population of only nbo:.' l,(>UO |
it would not seem that we had much
room for kicking. But wo are i
sure that this figure is hir below the j
actual number of inhabitants, that j
we cannot help i- eking just a little. i
Wo 'irmly bei'eve that our population j
at this time <s .10 iree 7,fM)0 than d.OOO j
una we have reason to believe that a j
correct eei sus of the town was not
taken by the party who had it in
hand, who, by the way wii"5 a resident
of thMowr only a :diort while, and
left shoitly after lie iinishecl the work
o." taking the census, such a taking
as it was. It is very easy 1 0 account
forthosh<rt showing in the census
of Union. But we think the am tor
can bo renie? <ed nnd a proper show ing j
m ido of on.* j opuiulion by the city j
council having 1. police census of the (

Twelfth Census of the I'niied
States.
For 1.1.c benefit of the render.
Thk Times we have made arrangements
to receive the reports from
Washington of the census returns
from the different States of tho Union j
as taken in the twelfth census this j
year. It would bo well to file away i
every copy of The Times containing
these reports for future reference.
We will cover every State in t ho Unior,
and the information will bo valuable j
to some of our readers. Comparative :
statements will be made showing the j
gradual increase in population since j J
the states took their first census. I

POPULATION OJ' 1'LOHII) 1. j ' >
Florida was organized as a territory j
March 510th, 1822, and admitted as a 1
State March 51, 18to.
The population of the State in 19'jO !
is Titns p.nmnRreii with n nn'.n. t
lation of 391,422 in 1890. This shows 1
a i increase during the ten years of f
187,12C, or 515.0 per cent. Florida t
h id a population in 18510 of 81,7510, *
to 18(h) showed an inrease of more -J
than 50 per cent., tho total popula- 1
tion of the Stute in 18(>0 being 1 -10,421.
1
The population of Florida i i 19(10 J
is more than fifteen times as large as *
the population given for 1880, the '
first census taken after its organization
as a territory in 1822.
The total land surface of Flori la
is, approximately, 51,210 aqutin
miles, the average number of persons ,
to tho square mile at the census of (
1900 being 9.7.
Tho only territorial change which ,
has been made in the counties of
Florida since 1890 is that part of \
Fasco has been annexed to Polk. I
Of the 45 counties ?n the State A
ountics fhow ever l(*o ccni. of
lcraaso since 1890, ri*?H?Iy, Dade,
i ? I percent; Calhoun, 2.'5.2 per
e. ' ; Hillsboro, 111.0 per cent; Oitus,
125.1 per cont; Lee, 117.1 per
out; and Liberty, 108 5 per cent.
O' the 92 incorporated cs'ies,towns
nd vlllidgos in Florida, for which
cparal ? returns are sssade in 1890,
here arc only 11 that have si popdation
in !90'>of xnore than 2,000,
,nd o.' these otiL I have a population
n excess of 5,000, namely, .lackson"il

POPCl.ATION or IDAHO.?No. 18.
Idaho was organized as a t -rritory
March 84, 18(18, and admitted sis si
Slate July. 8, 1890.
The population of the State in
L90C is 181,772 as compared with si
population in 1890 of 8i,8S5. Th's
shows an increase during the decade
i?f 77.8 >7. or 91.7. A part of this it;urease
is due to the fact that there
were 1,0(51 Indians and 99 other persons,
or a total of 4,1G8 persons, on
Indian reservations, etc., in Llnhi,
who vero specially enumerated in
181)1) ui U>r the provisions of the census
act, hut wore not included in the
general populiliun of the State at.
that census.
The population of Idaho in 11)00 is
mote than ion times as lurge as the
popula*; ,-n given for 1870, I Sic first
ce.isuc taken after its organization
a* a territory in 1803.
1 lie total land surface of Idaho is,
npi roximately, 81,2110 square miles,
th : average number of persons to the
Mpiaro mile at the census of 1000 bei
ng 1.1).
The following territorial changes
in the counties of Idaho have been
made since 1800: i'art of Ada taken
to form Canyon in 1802: part of
Bingham taken to form Bannock in
180,3; parts of Bingham and Lemhi
taken ! ,, form Fremont in 1803; part
of Login taken to form Lincoln in
1 SOa : and A it urns and part of Logan
taken to form Blaine in ISO,").
There a; )? '? incorporated cities,
towns and villages in Idaiio, for
which t!iv' population ?n 1900 is scpa
raleiy returned, only ,"> of which have
:i population in 1900 of more than
2.00O inha'oilants.

The Boers are still sticking hot
shot into fhe British. They secured
a big victory last week, and the British
are rushing more reinforcements
to South Africa. The Boers, as w<
said several months ago, are going tc
be hard to conquor. The scraps ol
war news from South Africa reads
very much like leaves from the annals
of the Revolutionary war.
