The census of 1880 will be a remarka-
Bile piece of literature. 1t will be an ac-
curate and exhaustive report of births,
deaths, goldfish, coal, oil, lumber honey,
beeswax, peanuts, live stock, libraries,
newspapers, wages, health, wealth, debt
and taxation. UP to 1850 only the
heads of the families were enumerated;
the census being taken were to determine
the political representation. In 1850 the
law was changed, and has since then de-
manded the name, sex, age, color, birth
place and occupation Of each individual.
Ability to read and write is also included,
and thus we get the basis Of educational
statistics, which will be more fully ascer-
tanned this year than ever before.
Experts are already in the field obtain
ing statistics Of gold, silver, iron and
copper mining. The working force is
now taking the census Of the great lakes,
getting the statistics of the fisheries and
fishing population.
"Under the Census act Of 1873" said
Gen. Walker to a Post reporter, 1--WE are
required to investigate nearly every
known industry railroads, fire and life
insurance, telegraph and express cempa-
nies. Agricultural resources, timber cul-
ture, all manner of social and industrial
statistics are now being collected. Every
effort is being made to secure accuracy
and reliability in the reports. An emf

quarrying industry; social scientists are

with the idea that measure

sided view of the whole business: He there
fore put in a motion TO have it referred to
the committee Of the whole, and to give the
inhabitants of the Jim river valley an OPP
p%ortunity to explain the measure and its
bearings to the committee. The more Mr..
Brown didn't want this done, the more Mr..
Burbank became convinced that it vas a
bad measure which couldn't stand the in
spection of a Legislative body in the light Of
the facts as they can be set forth by those
who are most familiar with the subject.

and in this instance his logic did not fail
him. The bill will be considered in COM
