The magnitude of the late census
work can scarcely be comprehended.

millions of people is in itself a great
work, but when you remember that
not only is this done. but that every

ton. OF course many inaccuracies
and imperfect statements will occur
in this advance publication, which
will be corrected or explained in The
completed work. But there is no
doubt that the tenth census, when
completed, will be far in advance of
its predecessors in illustrating the
growth and development of our
country's resources. Superintendent
Walker has not only improved large
ly upon the methods previously en-
ployed for gathering, collating and
comparing the facts in the material
history of the Unien. but he has also
brought around him most cempe-
tent and active staff of assistants, ex.
perts in every department Of Stats
tics and industry, with whose aid he
cannot fail to put forth the NEST in
telligent and comprehensive reviews
Of the particular industries which
employ the people, their health, ed
ucatien. and all the essential parts OF
social statistics. which together make
up the life of a natien. The most
careful efforts are being made to
present, in an exhaustive and intel
ligent form, all that can be known in
regard to the wealth, debt and taxa
ton of the country as a whole, and
ofits various political divisions taken
separately. The chief difficulty so
far encountered in this branch of the
subject has grown out of the great
mass Of material which needs to be
worked MP. No better instance OF
this, and at the same time of the sx-
hanstiye methods resortsd to by the
bureau to reach positive and instruc.

The scene in the Senate between Messrs.
Malone and Hill il said to have been 80
boisterous that even the reporters could not
catch all the angry words spoken. A cores
pondert of the Syracuse Journal says that
before Malone left his seat he rose, and look
ing across at Hill, said, in tone of defiance ::
sThe Senator has charged me with what no
man shall dare to charge me-" and pointing
his finger in . menacing way, shouted, Stop.
I say stop, right there with emphasis on the
closing words 1t was manifest that Hill
quaiIed; but so full Of ire was he that the
passion vas irresistible. and he could not or
would not desist. When Malone left his
seat he talked As he moved over toward Hill,
half crouching half creeping, and saying
"You want to know. do We: who it is (raising
his voice to high pitch) you want to know
who il is that dares to vote as he pleases?''
When Malone came close to Hill, shaking
the finger in a manner that was in keeping
with the fash in his eve. lie suddenly stood
erect and shouted; "Well. here is the man
who dares to vote as he pleases.'
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1881-03-26
Malone Sustained.

The party to which Malone belongs in
Virginia support him in the course he has
taken in the Senate. A meeting Of the
Readjuster State Committee, held the
other day. strongly endorsed him. He is
responsible to that party alone for his acts.
They sent him to the Senate against the
opposition Of the regular democracy. The
democrats had no claim upon him. They
fought him and his party in the State
campaign. An effort was made BY the
national democratic committee last year
TO unite the readjusters and regular de-
mocracy in Virginia. but it was failure.
and when Malone came to the Senate II
was as one who had been read out OF the
democratic organization of his State and
owed it neither support nor allegiance.
The charges made against him that he
betrayed the democracy. are silly and
bassless. and that the democrats should
attempt. knowing what his course had
been in Virginia. to claim him and then
denounce him for treachery because he
would not act with them. Is utter foolish.
