CEOSING UP THE CENSUS.
Our Total Population by States and
Territories.

The report of the superintendent of
the tenth census indicates the near
completion OF the important work un
der his charge. He estimates that five
sixths of the clerical work has been
done. and the onesixth remaining will
be mostly in the line of tabulation.
With the exception of obtaining the
statistics OF ship building, production oi
petroleum. the quarrying industry aud
those relating to the population and re.
sources OF Alaska, the tield work OF the
tenth census may be considered practi.
cally finished. Six agents are still EN-,
ployed on this work, and it is expected
that within few weeks their labors
will be completed.
Rapid progress has been made during
the year in the tabulation and compila
ton OF the statistical material received,
and early publication is assured.
The total population By States and
Territories, as finally determined by the
tenth census, is as follows:
Centre Democrat. [volume] (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1848-1989, 1881-11-24

of the facts necessary 10 full understand
ing OF the case would he laid before
Congress at the earl est practicable mo-
ment. The average force employed un'
der the conditions named has been IOO.
1t represents the best OF the old force
and in point of efficiency has steadily
improved upon what, at an earlier pc.
riod. was considered high standard of
clerical work. So rapid and satisfncto.
nv has been the labor performed that IL
il confidently expected that by the time
Congress meets in December the com.
pilation of the tenth census will be sub
stantially completed.
No one in view OF the facts will ques.
ton the sincerity and good faith OF Gen.
Walker in accepting the volunteer
force to complete The important work.
The course he persued was the wisest
possible under the circumstances, and
no stronger evidence oi his unseliish de.
votion to the services could be afforded
than the fact that out of his limited
means he placed at the disposal oi the
Interior Department sufficient funds To
meet the pressing obligations that hal
been incurred. The amount expended
10y him was about $1,000 la referring
to this in his report Gen. Walker says
Should it please Congress TO make an
appropriation To- cover the amounts 80
expended, shall he glad to be REIN
hursed for expenditures III ode in good
faith and Tor the publio's interest. II
not, shall accept the desi-ion oi tbst
body and regard the amount so expen
led ss my personal contribution To The.
success oi great public work. II is es.
timated that $40 600 will be required
t" complete the tenth census. Oh this
$330.0U0 will be applied to the pay ment
OF the volunteer force.

rus TERRITORIES.

The increase OF population since 1870
appears TO have been about thirty PER
cent. The superintendent devotes con.
siderable space TO statement oi the
financial embarrassments which at one
time threatened to suspend the active
work OF his Office, and which would
have made suspension an absolute ne
cessity had not the services Of volun.
teer force been accepted. He assumes
the responsibility for the inadequate ap
preparation allowed by Congress and
gives the reasons for the mistaken es
Inmates submitted.
When il became fully known that
the appropriation was inadequate TO
complete the work to be done, the on
ly alternative was 10 disband the Office
force and suspend ell work until Con.
gress should meet aud provide the mon.
ey TO 60 on, or TO accept the services Of
such Of the old employees and officers as
should volunteer 10 work without pay.
without involving the United States in
any legal obligation for their employ
ment. To have closed the Office and
diebanded force trained to the work
in hand would have added largely 10
the expense when The resumption OF
labor was authorised by Congress. Valu
able clerks would have found other EN-.
ployment. New material would have
TO be accepted. and the slow process OF
trimming again undertaken. while de
lay Of six OF eight months al most
critical period Of the work. when the
country vas impatiently waiting for re.
suits already in hand, would have been
disastrous in the extreme.
After careful consideration Of the
question. weighing all possible ohjec
tions with the advantages presented,
the suggestions Of the superintendent
were coBcnrred In by the Secretary of
the Interior and instructions given TO
permit those who desired TO volunteer
70 10 80, with full understanding on
their part that The Government bad no
legal right TO make any contract, ex.
press or implied. that should bind IL IN

RAISED FREIGHTS.

Some tine ago the MINER referred to the
action OF the U. & N. railroad company in
raising the rates on Montana freight coming
from the west over the G. p. road. We un-
.derstand that the company has recently issued
another circular in which notice is given to
our merchants that freight upon certain other
articles not embraced in the first circular is
also raised. This action on the part of the
company certainly FORKS a great hardship to
our merchants, which hardship will event.
ually extend to the consumers of the articles
tabooed by the railroad company. But as it
is one of those grievances which protests
couchea4 IN temperate language may remove,
but which abusive language towards the COM
pany will never correct, We have contented
ourself in employing the former, leaving the
use of unseemly epithets to ,hose whose want
of judgment or of good taste led Them into
this line of so-called argument. 1t must be
known to our citizens that tho raising of
these freights is not a blow aimed at them,
but is the result of a war between the G.. p.
and y. 7. railroads. Unfortunately for us,
however, we find ourselves placed so as to re-
ceive the full shock of the battle. But how
can We help ourselves? We may "kick'' but
the u. & n. company can "kick" back
again and our condition is not betlered. We
may fall back to first principles and transport
our goods by wagons from Corinne. If it
is cheaper to get our goods this way
than by rail there is no power to
hinder lis from doing it, and the sooner our
merchants make up their minds to resort to
this alternative the sooner the railroad COM
pany will discover the error into which they
Rave fallen. We believe, however, if our
merchants would unite in making a proper
representation to the com any of the hard
ship to which they are subjected under the
existing rates of freight that the company
would yield a listening ear, and may possibly
grant a rebate in the eXhorbitant freight
rates. This is the view the MINER takes of
the situation. While it will ever stand ready
to battle for the interests Of our people it
must be excused from indulging in unsavory
eNpletives absorbed from the vocabulary of
blackguards to make their wishes known
A corporation MAY heed reasonable requests,
but pay no attention to insulting commands.
