A New York paper in a recent is-ue expresses the liveliest astonishment at learning that the centre of population in Kansas has shifted a few miles westward during the past ten years, and indulges in much sagacious moralizing" on the subject of the ''Great Plains" and regarding Professor Sargent's dictum that the jdant'ing of trees was useless west of tho 100th Meridian. P.ut surely it is time that New York editors learned to have some know ledge of the beyond the fragmentary memories of the geographical text-books of their school days and that culled from oc-Oil SK lil 1 scraps of ofiicially published state r-tatistics of population and industry.

The popular opera and the fame of the pretty F.ihuih songtress brought out an audience that nearly equalled In brilliancy and numbers the gralheriiig of the previous evening wheu "Carmen' was the attraction. The audience was quite the most demonstrative of tho season, and several of the Dopular airs were received with applause that amounted almost to ovalions.

lineoros and recalls were the older of the day, ami the pretty little prima donna, ho was the center of attraction, received an exceedingly cordial welcome to the Northwest. The opera aitorded an opportunity for much more brilliant costuming than either F'aust'' or "Carmen." but Mile. Fonslioiu'sgowus though very beautiful were most attractive on account of their elegant simplicity. In the first act her costume was a short black handsome petticoat handsomely embroidered with cabalistic signs, and trimmed around the bottom with gold fringe. A scarlet snsh was knotted on one side and decorated with Spanish coinl.

Her white waist was cut low In front, trimmed with gold fringe and had flowing, open sleeves. There were also a tiny scarlet bodice with gold lacings a short embroidered black velvet and a arlet turban coveied with coins. scarlet stockings covered with spangles, and black slippers completed the costume, in the second act she wore white satin gown with long train embroidered with gold, and the front of the petticoat covered with lace; sleeveless poinlpi! bodice glittering with gems; corsage bouquet of pink roses and a wreath of pink ro-es in her hair: lace veil and mils: diamonds.

The has on iiiun? than one occasion saiil that the real il.imjer would coino when the contagion should have sread to the larcr cities, and above all to Portland, Oivjron.

Portland contains- far as census st.it is-t'i can be relied upon where the Chinese are concerned--some three thousand Chinamen in a population tipproachim' forty thousand. These Chinamen are not scattered over he city, nor are they even located in the poorer sect ioti. Cbinatowu in Portland occupies t.vo block in tin; very heart of what (njrlit. to be the business center of the city, eonesponding approximately to that part of Minneapolis which is bounded by avenue and Fourth street and First and Second avenues miiiIIl A larire proportion of the most valuable proieity--as regards eeiitral-ity of location is in the hands of the Chinamen. Around Chinatown on all sides, is tho city proper.

It cannot spread, and as the Chinese population increases, it simply grows more, and more crowded and more and more ill-smelling and foul. It is not surprising, then, if the citizens of Portland feel more than ordinarily bitter upon the Chinese question. No city in America is so affronted and humiliated by the continual presence of Chinamen upon its be-t business streets. Portland, moreover, is a city large enough to have a rough element of considerable si.e. The number of idle hands in tow ns no larger tluui Tacoma and Seattle is small.

In Portland it is otherwise, and a hinee riot in Portland with a crowded Chinatown so handy would be a very serious matter. So far the people of Portland haw behaved with wilne self-control and good Mn-e. Put they have none, the less come to the iletennination partly no doubt the ccpiessioii of long desire, paitly from fear of a riot breaking out that the Chinese have logo. They have therefore given them thirty tlas u.itil March to leae the city. It is not likely that all have vanished by that time, and uides tin: govcrum-'iit takes measures to assi.st the city authorities in preserving older, the day of March, lsi'i.

may be a teir ble day In the annals of Portland. The story that the Chinese government, has ordered all Chinamen in this country to return home is as yet uneonliriued, and does not M'ciu ve; probably on the face 01 it.

Mr. lim went on lo il the conflict between what he declared right on one side anil wrong on lin oiuer. The struggles of the poor latmrers were refeirpd to.

and Hie air was said to be full of riotous proceedings and eric for bread. It was not blood that was wauled, but food. Sympathy and soothing wools were oftimes pleasant but; they would not satisfy a hungry stomach. The condition one that liberty-loving people could not much longer endure It. Thieving and grasping monopolies imis be put down, (me of the greatest mistakes the government ever made an the granting ol millions acres of land to great eorporaiions.

To the railroads then; had been given OH of acres while but a -mail number of miles of rail -road had I ecu built by the aid of land grants, nearly six times as many being built without grants. In Minnesota the lailioad got acres, and so many Isindi that it look spy-Mai ears to carry Iheui out of the state. If therewith a curse upon the country it vas the lax that Imposed upon the poor farrAeis whiie the rich railioad corporation paid nothing. The that at lowed it wus unjust, and to allow it in silein-e as treason to justice. More than acres of land In the I nited StHies were owned by aieent The handwriting on the wall whs that lauiilordisin was lo ruie in Amerlea.

Ina short time (here would be more earl and dukes lu the I nited States than Bill King had registered Ui his thoroughbred stock book 01 were created at the St. Paul ice carnival. The speaker then went on to 11 of the troubles ol burners In shipping and storing grain. The railioads were said lo bine everything their own Way and so niaimged ma'teis that there was no competition. The tanners wer cheated and robbed by labo grad.ng and weights, 'there had M'eu tioub.e illi the elcvutots on the grading of r.tiu.

The lliiiinees of the couiitrv were taken up, and the w.sii uttered that there was more stiver in eir-filiation instead of less. 1 lie way in liii laiiroa con-trnr tlon was carried on wu seveiely condemned it was alleged that a ring would stand lu with contractors, and the balnnce of Hie assessment on siocx holders paid the eoiitrai-tors over tne co-t ot the worn was divided ill the ring.

It was wheel Itlllll a heel. Toe express companies were -aid to need turn-log over. They ere worse their demands and Imposition thau the railroads. Mr. Buck said hi was charged kill for bringing a calf from home.

X. to Mioikalo. I list was far too piucli. To remedy all these pontiles the farmer should i be educated foi the Iirst thing. There is no want I of hile led among th fiirunt population but as undeveloped.

The reason v. ny agriculture i floe" nol come to Mie front is the lack ol education. hen there was a smart boy make a farmer of him and fail the fool into the lawyer's or doctor's profession. To Mice cd there must abo lie united action. Il was the right of every state to pioU't-t itself against oppression, and Ihe p.

ople weie justified their self defense. They should look well to the meu sent lo ottii e. It was not so nun the nationality and n-ligjnii. but heart, head and bacLbme. More nnpist irrupt I ius were passed through flattery than any oilier cause.

A man sent lo Itie leg.siaiure should be ptoof again-t sort-soap. Corporation never send f.sols to me i'-gi-lature. or ask aho.il religion or politic--, but ask if their man is sujri und unscrupulous and an s'eal whatever Is wanted. 'I let fanners should Join hands with all orgs- believing a they did. Hypocrites should lie driven out.

There should a ftcerchiry of agriculture at Washington, and hereafter every congressional nominee -hoii Is? pledged to support every move lo that end. Ikwareof iitl-clans. lien the Farmers' Alliance Is captured by any party. It will crumble to dusi. Their influence Uillsl be fell lu icgi-lauon, but It "lou be (or their own good.

F.xperirneiiial agrieullural stations were wanted, wbetc reports couid be gath-eied and vnlnable news disseminate 1. Some say It ill cost too much. The Voice that says so Is the same voice that favored railroad steals arid the mauling of millions for Imnrovitig Imaginary riv- I ers I he agricultural college should he separated form classical institutions Ihciwowiil not get on together. Separate thein or emoty rooms and blank registers will be the rule, (ovm more care to the children at home. Do not make them gd up at 4 clock in the morning and drudge ltd dark.

Make borne and the fsrmer's life attract ve, and the boys will not leave on the first opportunity to be lawyers, actors, clerks or anything else, So long ns It took away from Ihe farm. The sjieaker closed with uigiiig the farmers themselves to tak more rest and mix In more cn-Jovuieiii with their toll, it would make life sweeter and happier. The destiny of tho country was with the agricultural population, and the grand Northwest was bound lo be the center of strength and prosperity.

Another Lares Audience atthe Grand Wallace's Tuneful Opera Presented with Splendid Effect The Costumes and Attendance. The bright and pretty opera of "Muritaiia," wdth it" tuneful airs and melodious bullails, haa and T. ill continue to retain a warm place In the affections of the people. That It belongs In the etuss of ligiit opera mid isjjever properly in place on the grand opera stage must be admitted, but It Is atso undeniable that whenever produced, if well dune, it Is always popular. Its computer, William Vincent Wallace, was a native of Ireland, but at an early age left hie country and Fpent many years In travel, during which Ills musical ability was cultivated; and It is probable that these years of wandering had a great influence in molding the inner life of the man, for the sentiment and pathos of many of bis melodies could hntilly have been acquired in any other way.

"Maritana" was brought out In 1SI, shortly afler Wallace's return to Kuiope. It was at once a puceeas, and during its 10 years of life tia always been a favorite. The performance last evening afforded the audience an opportunity of hearing the dainty little prona donna. Mile. Alma Foil-Mrom, who conies fresh from a long series of triumphs in Kiirope.

Iter reputation had come before her, and it was not MirprisitiK that from her iirst appearance ou the stage till the curtain was rung down, the audience was at her command, ller voice is one that will he remembered, not for any mnsnihYcnee of volume or expression, but for an indescribable sweetness and purity that appeals at once to the arnat sense and as well to the hearts of her bearers. In trills and t.iceato passage she excels, a id her voic.3 is of sin ratine that she never has need of fear in attempting parts requiring a voice of the greatest compass. In the ronmnza "Iv 1'odo aneor," and in (he xcenea w.tii Don in the first a -t, she won great and wetl-ib served ap-piame.
