In spite OF all the averments and explanations
made from time to time b. the superintendent OF
the last census and his subordinates, there Is NO
Disgusting lact that the country entirely
satisfied with the manner in which that important
work has been done. Whether the defects COM
planned of are due to the inefn lent manner In
which enumerators and collectors OF statistics
performed their duties, or to a misapplicatiOn OF
the figures after they collected Is not always
clear. Nor does Ii matter much which Is To blame,
% long as tue general fact exists 1t Is likely,
however, that in some cases the difficulty be
traced to one cause AMI In some to the other. In
Others, again, it is probable that carelessnrss or
incompetency in both directions are mcasurably
chergeabie with the Incorrect or imperfect show

Next came protests from Philadelphia that the
Industrial and business interest OF TINT city had
not been fairly presented coupled With pretty
plain inslnuationS that the mlsreprese Mat ions

Vail That the representatives of her material Inter-

pense OF having census o. recount taken on their
own private account, which showed very dineren Mt
results from those presented by the government

now comes The Paper Void, the organ ami expo

Missionaries of the Mormon Church
have for some time past been operat-
ing extensively in Wilson county, and
after having left are reported to have
claimed that they numbered among
their converts some of the hest ci'l-
zens Of Wilson county. Information
furnished the American ny promi>
nent resident of Wilson county, and
a man of character and reputation,
shows what this claim is worth. The
missionaries have been operating in
the county over two years, and it is
averred that they have not "A single
member in the county that is free
from dishonOr or stain. Notorious
women, their illegitimate children
and grandchildren were the first to
embrace the new doctrine. Others
who had led disreputahle lives,
thieves, housebreakers, drunkards,
idiots and other such characters, were
easily converted. Among the priests
was a man born out of wedlock, who
was implicated in a dastardly murder
some years ago. Unable to endure
the scorn and ridicule of his people
he fled to another state. The Ameri-
cans informant gave list of the con-
verts, with their records, which made
one of the most sickening stories of
filth and degradation that could be
written. 1t is reliably said that these
converts are the very refuse of socie-
ty and that the county is disgraced by
their presence; that these proselytes
have always practiced the great funda-
mental principle of Mormonism. One
of the preachers was taken in lewd,
ness. Yet these men profess to be
leading the way to that Heaven which
nothing unclean can enter and that
God who is holiness.

MEhPHts, IANh,t april z, 1888.
The increase Of business in this city
during the three months ending Sat
urday over last year for the same
time, as indicated by the bankers
clearinghouse transactions, is nearly
s., 100000, or very close to cne-third
more. The total has been $685.
29O,9l and the excess "a, 947 1856, Ill.
The increase for March over the pre-
eeding March was s799, 39O,O5. These
figures indicate a healthy state Of
business aud a gratifying addition to
the volume.
One Of the features Of the past week
in local circles is . movement to
organize a new bank here wit h a
capital Of two hundred thou
sand dollars, to be taken chiefly
! BY citizens now owning no local bank
stocks. 1t is stated that some 100000
of the stock has been taken, and it is
understood that Mr.. j. R. Goodwin
with Mr.. G. Raine. are the leading
spirits in the enterprise, The banking
capital here is believed to be ample
for Sall Legitimate purposes at the
present time, and though another
is not essential, yet it is thought by
persons not interested, would COM
mand business enough to earn
fair profits. Inasmuch also as the
business Of the city is likely to be
much heavier next season than at
present, there will be ample room for
ttoliVe andthrive among the Madison
street cluster. The total banking
capital here at present, with the sur
plus added, is under 100000, and
adding local insurance companies
capital doing mercantile discount
traffic, the whole will not reach So
100000. ,lant0 rn;trW =,
The statement Of the New York
banks shows that while the cash on
hand is s4,O97, $50 less than is required
by Law, yet the reserve increased
during the week 81, 337, 625. The
weeks changes give an increase Il

arrivals of gold from Europe, also
$4,000 increased in circulation, while
legal tenders decreased 1923 1900 and
deposits decreased $l,967 300.
