AN INCREASE IN VOTE. .- . What the addition to the total number of voters in . this country is likely to be this year is very hard to conjecture, for the reason that between 189G and 1900, so far as the election returns show, ther! was practically no s;ain in the number of electors. From 1S76 to 1880 there was a gain of S00,000; from 18S0 to 1S84 a gain of 1,000,000; from 1SS4 to 1S8S, a gain of 1,300,000; from 1888 to 1S92, a gain of 500,000 and from 1892 to 1896, a gain of 1,900,000. Between 1S76 and 1S96 the popular vote for presidential electors increased 65 per cent. or from 8,400,000 to 13,900,000. . 1 t' -. ' ;- -mM-igl Apparently owing to the fact that a vast multitude of voters did not go to the polls at all in 1900, the total popular vote in that year was only 40,000 greater than it was in 1S96; and, if anything like a full vote is polled next fall there should be an enormous and unprecedented increase in the total vote. In the eight years ended with, .November, 1S9G, this vote increased 2,400,000, and, as the population of the, country has been steadily expanding since 1896, the total vote this year should show a fargreater increase than that of 1888-96. sj ;- ' ; A thing that renders it extremely difficult to forecast what the-: increase in this vote may be is the. fact that an "exceptionally large number of immigrants have landed on our shores in recent years. In the eight years ended with 1903 over 3,500,000 foreign born persons were added to our population, and a considerable proportion of these persons is now naturalized, and they will take part in the next election. What the proportion may be, however, it is impossible to judge. It is none too early for the political leaders and managers to grasp the fact that "first voters" are likely to constitute a more important factor in the approaching campaign than ever before, and as a consequence that they are likely to jrove. a greater unknown quantity than has ever been the case hitherto. UvjLd.en.tl3: both. siLtJie great , political parties will need to do a vast amount of missionary work if th?y hope for victory in November. Aew York Commercial. -J- m.?; , THE SITUATION IN NEW YpRK. Neither of the two leading political parties can be sure of the result of the forthcoming election in New York. -This uncertainty is due to dissensions in both parties. , ' The Republicans are not agreed on a " leader, though Governor Odell seems to have the reins in his own hands." The friends of "Senator Piatt think that he should not be deposed from his old time leadership. There was a kind of compromise whereby Senator Piatt was to be the party leader and Governor Odell the chairman of ithe state Republican central committee. Under this arrangement both parties may claim the leadership and neither knows where it is at. The Democrats are not so forcmate there are two parties Tammany, led by Mr. Murphy, and the "Up State" Democracy, led by exSenator David B. Hill. They have two candidates for the presidency. Tammany will undoubtedly support Mr. Hearst, while the Hill faction are pronounced ' in their allegiance to Judge Parker. The Republicans have the better of the situation, as they have but
one candidate lor tne presidency.

MR. KANALEY'S LETTER
Given For Publication in the Palla-
dium The Matter Closed.
The 'following communication was
handed in for publication by Earlham College Saturdajv but was crowded out: To the Editor of the Palladium:
It has been the purpose of Earlham
to consider the interstate contest mat
ter closed, but the veracity of the president and faculty has been called in question. They have been chal
lenged to produce certain letters stat
ing that the contest could come to Richmond. In response to numerous Alt'' 1
inquiries tne ionowing quotations
from Mr. Ivanaley's letters are submitted : " . Notre Dame, Feb. 26, '04. "Now as to Richmond. If you as willing to have the contest and eonMr. Kelly intimated in his letter, are vention at Richmond, I should gladly welcome the. suggestion provided you comply with the following provisions which I beMeve founded on facts and justice. , 1. I am under $500 bonds with Notre Dame as security. f Earlham must assume the bond for me instead of Notre Dame, because naturally with the contest at Richmond Notre Dame leases her financial connection with the matter and it wrould rest

Earlham must guarantee the pajTHe'nt - of last year's deficit which I. may state; is not large) for I have virtually promised this to the treasurer of the interstate association of last year." Notre Dame, March 5, '04. "I think if the proper agreement is entered into by the proper authorities

The conditions were accepted and the bond was immediately forwarded. ; i - ) Earlham College, M -W mm "Ideal Bread" is just like mother used to bake at home; a close grain and substantial. .

Accordir": to the Philadelphia Ledger, Hearst is only the eatspaw of
Bryan, who wants a little revenpre for his two defeats in 1896 and 1900.
"While Bryan may g'et considerable satisfaction out of the Hearst move
ment, he did not originate it'and it is not in Mr. Bryan's interest.. ? The
most superficial glance ought to show to even the dullest that the Hearst
papers have had Hearst in their eye all the while. This was the reason Hearst was what they call regular in the last two campaigns. He saw
that Bryanism was more popular than conservatism. He saw the drift of
things among the voters. He set out to make them believe that he is their friend. He has succeeded to a degree that few - of these observers
seem to suspect. The fancy that Hearst permits himself to be used by
anybody except in his own behalf shows an ignorance of Hearst methods and an equally dense ignorance of human nature. The patrons of the Indianapolis public schools have asked the school commissioners of that city to probibit the taking of collections from the pupils for any purpose whatever. This action is to be commended. The collections in the public schools have been too frequent. There are many pupils who can afford it, and there are many others who are embarrassed
because thev cannot afford it.
So far the Russians have gained no victories that would inspire the confidence of their friends as to the final outcome. On the other hand Japan has won at almost every point and now has250,000 troops in motion to be landed in northwestern Korea. If Russia does not "get a move" soon, she will be completely whipped by the little " Island. Empire." About two weeks ago the Palladium was offered a large advertisement from the Cincinnati merchants headed, "Railroad Tares Paid Both Ways," but declined it. The Palladium believes that it owes its first duty to the home merchants who pay most of the taxes and contribute in other ways to the advancement of home affairs.
