PUBLICATION CT THE CENSUS RE
POBTS.

The bill passed by the late Congress
provides for printing for general distri-
button ten thousand copies of the COM
plete set of census reports. Each set
will embrace fifteen quartO volumes of
about a thousand pages each. Besides
the usual volumes Of statistics on popu-
latiOn, agriculture and manufactures,
the series will include many elaborate
reports on special industries. All the
reports prepared by the Census Bureau
aggregate about $4,000 pages, but by the
elimination of some of the less import
ant matter the mass to be printed for
general distribution is reduced to $4,000
pages. Besides the ten thousand
copies of the complete set the bill pro-
vides for printing twenty thousand
copies of the report on population,
twenty thousand of that on agriculture
and ten thousand of that on manufac-
lures; also fifteen thousand copies Of
the report on the history of the national
loan for the use of the Treasury Depart
ment and fifteen hundred copies of the
fish and fisheries for the use of the Fish
q Commissioner. In addition TO the
above a hundred thousand Of the COM
pendulum of the census are ordered to be
printed. The amount of money APP
propriated fer all these publications is
six hundred and seventy-eight thou
sand and six hundred dollars.

Committee has voted to reimburse Gen.
CURTIS, who was sentenced to pay a
fine for collecting assessments while q
Federal officer, for his expenses and the
fine paid. That is no more than might
have been expected. The Republican
party not only does not believe in civil
service reform, but countenances and
practically pays q premium upon, the
violation of any law looking to its en-
forcement. Notice is served upon the
country that, law or no law, political
assessments will continue to be made,
paid and used for corruption without
danger to plunderers or help for the
plundered.

THE RIVER RAILROAD.

Senator CAMDEN has been In the
city during the past two days looking
after the interests Of the Weston and
Buekhannon railroad, of which enter
terprise he Is one ofthe chief promoters.
That road, he says, will soon be under
construction, everything being now
about ready, and work on it will be Wig
Orously pushed.
In regard to the River Road, Senator
CAMDEN remarked, there was not
much to say. He had at no time seen
any reason to donbt that the road would
ultimately be built, and at this time his
faith was as firm as ever. 1t is good
line, prospectively, and it has now been
well advertised in the proper quarters.
Chief Engineer SICKLEs made n most
favorable report after his examination
of the route and tributary country; the
capitalists who came out and went
over the ground were much delighted
with the enterprise. Mr.. ILsLEY, the rail
road expert whom Senator FAIR sent
out, was also pleased and reported
strongly in its favor. Everybody who
has carefully and intelligently looked
into the matter speaks well Of the pro-
jeet. Senator CAMDEN said he had
shown his individual faith in it by put
ting considerable money into the sur
vey and preliminary work, and he had
also subscribed largely to the capital as
member of the syndicate; in short,
he had done about all any one man
could do to bring the enterprise to a
successful issue. He had met with some
drawbacks, but he saw no cause to be
discouraged. Now that he was released
from his duties at Washington, he ex-
pected to give the most of his time and
attention 10 an endeavor to complete
the preliminaries the work. He had
no promises to make, other than those
already made, and nothing to add to
what had already been said. If the
road is not built, il will not be for lack
of faithful effort on his part.

Two YEARS ago the amount appro-
priated for alleged governmental pur-
poses was $4,000, 900; last year it was
swollen to S2l6,694, 1888; and this year
under a reckless Congress the amount
was expanded to the enormous total of
S293, $50, 4S9. Is it not about time for
the people of this country to be little
more eircumspeet as to the kind of
statesmen they send to Congress?

SAMPLE OF TAx.TINKERING.

The increase Ofthe tax on knit goods
is very much of a character of the tink-
,ringwhi Congress did with other ere
ductions" designed to relieve the pub
lie burdens"-sueh as the attempt to
abolish the tax on perfumery, cosmetics,
etc.
The knit goods bill increases the tax
from twenty-five per cent. al rdtorcD',
TO not less than seventy per cent, and
in some cases ninety per cent. This APP
plies to certain varieties Of cheap knit
goods, such as drawers, underShirtS,
etc, and of course will have the effect
Embarrassing their price to the extent Of
the increased tax, and this increased
tax will fall on the labOriug class and
not the wealthy, as they are the con-
sumers of the cheap varieties OF knit
goods.
The bill is in the interest of certain
Nm L,Sl~-.-l -----.aGIacturers, anu
imposes an additional tax On
every cheap undershirt, pair OF
drawers or pair Of stockings hereafter
purchased. The passage of this bill
marks the limit to which Congress has
decreased taxa ton.
The argument urged for its passage
was that the heretofore existing tax Of
S5 per cent. was the result of an error in
revising the tariff laws some years ago.
This did not give the manufacturers
sufficient profit, so the price of under
shirts, drawers and stockings must go
up to make things comfortable for the
capitalist. Still the Republicans did
tEeir level best to take the tax OFF banks
and perfumery, and this must be con-
siGered when we regard their increased
fax ON the Door mans necessities.

In President Garfeld's inaugural there was
an earnest appeal to the leaders in public
affairs to take up and consider the meas
ures of highest moment" that had so long
been held in allegiance by the war issues
then finally settled. And President Ar
thur, in his message, called the attention OF
Congress. specifically to several OF the ques-
tons which his lamented predecessor, stand
ing on the plane Of true craftsmanship
eloauently said "beckon US forward.
Among these questions, whose considera-
ton has been urged upon Congress by
Presidents and people, is that Q reduction
OF taxation and a reform in the tariff; the
bill extending national aid to education,
for the purpose of checking, in the only
possible way, the dangerous growth Of
ilIiteracy at the South; the bills regulat-
ing the ELECTORAL count and providing for
vacancies and SUGGESTIONS in the Presi-
dental Objective sources OF perils anu Oh
confusion which the events OF the
past few years have wildly exposed;
the national bankrupt act, so neces-
sary to our business interests every
where; the bill for the relief Of the Supreme
Court, establishing District Courts OF APP
peals; the limitation of the coinage OF silver
dollars to the actual demands OF the ousi'
ness of the country; the embodiment In
law of practical and permanent policy OF
caring for and ciyilizing the Indians; the
adoption OF safeguards against fraudulent
pension claims, which are now robbing the
Treasury, almost without check, OF millions
of dollars annually; and last, and most fun
damental of all, a measure for the reform
of the civil service. Not one of these ques-
tons has Congress taken up, with any hon.
est and intelligent purpose to settle it for
the good Of the country.
