nection with vital statistics and national
progress and educational status, to the end
that the nation may be instructed as to it's
actualconditienin all important particulars.
The volumes of the census hitherto published
embodY the most valuable and interesting
information that can be had concerning
the country, but hitherto it has been found
impossible to obtain accurate results in
many respects, because of the loose
ness and carelessness OF tie replies
commonly given. We have already
referred to this, but it is Of SO
much consequence that it cannot be
impressed too strongly upon the public
mind. For example, when there is baby
IN the family, and it is anywhere from six
to twelve months old, there has been found
disposition to give its age as one year.
Now this inaccurate kind of reply has
twice hopelessly vitiated very instructive
and valuable set of tables, and has rem
dered it impossible to ascertain with any
precision the number of children from six
months to one year old, living at the same
| time. Accuracy in short is the one virtue
which the census enumeration is compelled
to insist upon, and the public viii facilitate
the labors of those officials, and at the
same time add greatly to the usefulness of
their work, by taking the trouble to be
precise in all their answers. An immense
deal of pains has been bestowed upon the
preparations for this census, and it is
hoped that it will be the fullest and best
yet taken. Almost everything, however,
depends upon the fidelity with which the
people perform their part in the business,
and therefore these cautions and exhorts-
tions are seasonable.

TURKISH REsTIvsNEss.

There are signs of restiveness in Turkey
which may prelude some final desperate
outburst, to escape from the coils which
European diplomacy is weaving round that
ruined empire. The appointment of Alr.
Goschen as Ambassador to the Porte
has proved particularly displeasing to the
Sultan's advisers. The reason of this is
obvious. Mr. Goschen is a skillful finan-
cier, in the first place. In the second
place he represents that Gladstonian policy
which is known to intend rigorous insist
ance upon performance of the stipulations
OF the Berlin Treaty. Turkey has never
had the least intention to live up to
her engagements AS the Government
of that country is constituted this would
indeed be impossible. The Sultan is
puppet in the hands of a counsel Of thiev
ing Pashas who care absolutely nothing
for the integrity of the empire, and who
are too thoroughly saturated with fatal
ism to concern themselves about the fu-
that Mr. Goschen will stand no such non
sense as Layard put up With, and that he
will do nothing to bolster up the crumbling
Government, but on the contrary will in
sist on the terms of the bond vigorously.
1t would seem that the old Turkish re-
course Of MosIem fanaticism was being tried
once more also. A popular movement
against the execution of the assassin of the
Russian Colonel, Commaroff, has been I'M
dertaken, and the Sheik ul-Islam has added
the weight of his authority to it. 1t is
conceivable that the Turkish Government,
finding all hope OF rehabilitation gone,
might resolve to infict.a parting blow upon
It's destroyers and tormentors, by creating a
religious outbreak; but we do not think
that such course can prove successful.
During the fierce struggle between Turkey
and Russia the Sultan did his best to rouse
the Mohammedan nations to his rescue, but
without avail One reason of his fail
ure was the decay of enthusiasm in
regard TO the lNuttdH ) COlLuGCllOH Will
Islam, The true Mahommedans Of the
Arab race look with contempt upon the
occupant OF the tottering throne of Siam
boul, for they know that he is a slave of
slaves, a mere creature of the harem. They
viii not embark in any war for his de,
tense, and neither can the Turkish masses
be persuaded to lift hand in support of a
Government that has ground them to the
dust with expressions and cxactions. Mr.
Goschen VIII undoubtedly 50 to Con
stantinop,e. Mr. Gladstone Will as Ger,
tainly insist upon the rigorous fulfllment
Of the Treaty of Berlin, not only by Tur-
key but by Austria. The doom of the
0ttomans has been pronounced in short,
and since it is evident that they possess no
power OF recovery within themselves, they
wiz have 20 abandon those shreds Of en-
pire which are crumbIing in their nerve

KEARNEY AND HIS FOLLOWERS.

The people of San Francisco are natu-
rally discouraged by the failure of the al
tempt to punish Kearney for his misconduct,
and some of them appear to apprehend
revival of the disturbances which injured
that city so seriously short time ago. But
if any trustworthy indications are to be de-
rived from recent events there is less ground
for fear in this regard than ever before. So
long as the Workingmen's party was under
the control of Kearney, and obeyed his
dictation, it was source of constant I'M
eas;ness, because it was evident that men
capable OF being swayed by SO shallow and
cratic demagogue were beyond the indu-
ence of reason, and therefore might be per-
suaded to almost any mischievous course.
But there are many men in that organization
who have apparently become tired of Kear-
ney's dictation, and who now perceive
that it is impossible to do anything
with the party strength unless they
abandon the Sandlot policy and adopt
one more in accord with ordinary
American political methods. Kearney has
determined to attend the Greenback Con-
ventlon at Chicago, but he has failed to
induce the W. P. C. to accredit him as its
delegate to that meeting. and though he
has succeeded in obtaining funds for his
journey from the Sandlot crowd, he will
so without any authority. At the stormy
meeting Of the Ward Club Presidents last
Sunday it was made apparent that a strong
opposition to him has grown up among the
subordinate party Headers, On that occa-
sion he was tiercely attacked, amid the ap-
plause of the meeting, and was at last
obliged to retire from the hall without
having gained his point, and after he had
left the meeting passed resolutions against
indorsing any one for the Presidency until
after the Republican and Democratic
National Conventions had met Kearney
wanted to commit his party to the
Greenback Labor nominee, in adj
vance, and thus to obtain additional
consequence for himself in the Convention
of that organization. The Ward Presi-
dents on their part probably argue that it
would be throwing away the votes of the
California Workingmen to give them to a
nomination which is in the nature Of things
an impossible one. 1t is tolerably clear
that they are indisposed to separate them
selves longer from both the great parties,
in fact. They are incapable of sacrificing
themselves to an idea continuously, and
they think there has been quite as much of
that sort of thing as they and their follow
ers can stand. They want now to go
where there is some chance that the votes
they control may bring them substantial
rewards, and all the signs of the time
point to a speedy reconciliation between
this faction and the Democracy, whence
nineteen-twentieths of its members orig
inally came.

THE TENFH CENSUS.

The taking of the tenth census will
begin to-day, and therefore householders
and all other persons should prepare them
selves for the visits of the enumerators. As
the most serious failures in former censuses
have been traced to the prevalence of mis-
apprehcnsions regarding the purpose of the
questions asked, and the uses to be made
OF the information gathered, it is proper to
state that no person can sustain any injury
whatever, whether in reputation, business,
or anything else. from the results of the
inquiry. II having been found heretofore
that many supplemented people were
prone to regard the questioning OF the
enumerator as impertinent and unwarrant-
able, and as not few have given false
statements while laboring under such i'm
pressions, 1t is further necessary to say that
the census is mainly concerned with aggrc-
gates, and that it has nothing to with the
individual affairs of anybody. The only
purpose OF requiring the names of all per
sons is to insure the correct counting of the
whole population. The names are not used
in making up the tables which are SUBJ
sequently published, nor is anything
done which can make possible the tracing
of any particular fact to any particular
person. Suppose for example that there
were in this city five cases of paralytic or
i,nbecile persons, supported by their fami-
lies quietly. The census law requires that
all such facts shall be given to the cnum-
orators, but the only statement ever
made public would be the fact that five
such cases existed in Sacramento. It is
the same with every other kind of inform
alton required to be given. No one. how.
ever sensitive, need apprehend any humili-
ating or offensive publicity. The Govern
ment desires to ascertain all the facts in con.
