The "IDAHo UNION" a Republican

THE ALLEGED CENSUS.

The fact that a national census was sup
called TO public attention, and in manner
not calculated to inspire pleasing reflections.
1t has long been apparent that the work was
done in the most awkward and laborious
manner possible, and the patience of the
public has been tested to the uttermost in
waiting for some tangible evidence that the
census was taken at all. But then, of course,
the result will be very elaborate, and the
tables will show not only the number of
hogs raised in each township, but the num-
Der of bristles in each hogs back, together
With the average in each State and a careful
comparison with the per cents of former
years. The number of school-teachers will
be given, together with the ratio of males
with mustaches, those with bald heads and
those with false teeth, and carefully pre-
pared review of the number of times each
has arisen unexpectedly and impulsively,
with description of the pin that accelerated
matters in each instance. The school-marms
who wear bangs will be set down in
a column to themselves, and the total num-
Der of girls who chew gum will be given in
manner calculated to inspire confidence in
the results reached. The work. when COM
pleted and issued, will be valuable to our de-
scendants though at the present rate of pro-
gress those now living will scarcely enjoy the
privilege of glancing over its contents. The
estimated cost of the work was a round
So 200, 000-a large sum for the purpose. The
amount appropriated up to this time is
$500, 624.6l, an excess of 50, 500, 624 81 over
the original estimate, or nearly double. And
now they want 100000 additional in
order to complete the work. 1t has
been charged, and the belief is gaining
ground, that the work when done will be
cumbersome and in many respects untrust-
worthy, as some of the compilation of sta
tistics upon certain industries have been
EARNED OUT to the officers agents and at
torneys of these industries The matter
should be Investigated, and the responsibility
for unreasonable delay and unwarranted pro-
ceedings generally fixed upon the proper
parties, General Francis Walker, the much
Wanted superintendent, fled to Massachu-
sets for Self-protection.

IF the Sentine!'s logic upon Governor Por-

Tile New York Tribune saws:

"There is a superstition in many minds
that the year 1888 must bring another panic.
So far as this notion rests upon the fact that
it is now about ten years since the last COM
mercial collapse, it is a mere superstition,
unwarranted by experience or reasoning.
The attempt to trace a ten-year periodlcity
in the recurrence of commercial disasters
has to distort facts. The crash of 1887 was
not followed by another in 1917 nor was the
panic of 1857 succeeded by anything de-
serving the same name in 1867, nor can any
fixed period be suggested which will bring
into harmony the really important disasters
of 1887, 1857 and 1873 The mere date there
fore. has neither meaning nor weight If a
disaster is to be looked for this year with
any reason whatever, it must be for a very
different reason. Nor is there ground for
such apprehension in the visible expansion
of commercial credits In the past two years
The average of Indebtedness has not as yet
nearly reached what may be termed the
bursting point. Excessive building OF rail
roads has been mentioned as a reason for ap-
prehension. Ii cannot be doubted that
great sum of money has been unwisely and
unprofitably invested in that direction"

'calls," and futures and margins" But
it knows enough to know that the principal
jority of Boards of Trade and Exchanges, is
one of degree not of kind. This howl is of
piece with the morality which sends a five

the church door to a defaulter OF hundreds of
thousands who may have compounded his
crime and left himself handsome mar

A Contemplate Ouibble.

Brown is esteemed TOO thin to wash The
same matter was settled in Governor Bakers
time, and no one, Democrat or Republican,
thought of questioning the decision. Taking
all the circumstances, the bubble is so himsy

these amendments and to go before the peo-
pile with such contemplate excuse for de-
priving them of their opportunity to vote on
these questions, would be dangerous if not
wholly suicidal. On the other hand, to re-
fuse to submit them because the party is OPP

Women iu the Trades.


Women are now employed in nearly all
branches of light manufacturing business,
and the men who formerly rebelled against
the innovation now accept the situation as
an inevitable outgrowth of the spirit of the
times, and behave like rational creatures

into factories as employees where men had
occupied the field exclusively, strike fol-
lowed. See how altered the case The other
day young woman was placed in one of

her with pair of ELEGANT toilet bottles.

STATE EXCHANGE TABLE.
The Presidential Succession.

Terre Haute Express.
The absence Of any provision after the 4th
OF March would, in the event of the death of
President Arthur. leave the country in a
condition OF disorder in the extrication from
which much time and anxiety would be ex-
pended. We are not OF those who believe
there would be any danger to the form of
government in being so situated, because
there is a controlling influence for good
order and fair methods throughout the
country that would very quickly make itself
felt as it did in 1876, when it silenced and
heaped ridicule on such wild and feverish
schemes as the one proposed for 100000 I'M
armed men to assemble at the Capitol. But
the necessity of providing against the emer-
gency is quite imperative enough to cause
Congress to act before adjournment. There
Is no better time than now for repairing the
present defective procedure. 1t is not now a
partisan question, and no party advantage
can be taken of it.
