THE CENSUS BUREAU.
III was the purpose of the managers
OF the census bureau from the first, so
II is stated, TO make this adjunct of the
interior department permanent, con-
tinuous and fixed incident of this de.
partment. There are perhaps 100 men
and women who proposed To live and
die IN that bureau. IL was, like the
pension bureau, TO have u palace of It's
own and never abandon it. Ii was to
become, too, like the bureau of educa-
ton, sort of publishing house,
whence disquisitions on all sorts of in.
dustrial questions and those af.
fecting life and death and dis.
ease, should be issued in pref.
ty little selflaudatory volumes
like those exceedingly entertaining
and "figurative" publications emana
ting from the storm petre. of the
weathercock bureau. Didn't Solomon
when dreaming say, that "of making
of bureaus there shall be no end?''
