A CENSUS son.

When the bill to authorize the taking
of the tenth census VAS up before Con-
oress . pressure was brought to bear
upon the members by the Census Bureau
officials which resulted in the incorpora-
tiou into the bill Of . clause authorizing
any State or Territory that desired 90 to
do. to make another census enumeration
in 1885. and that the General Gov.
eminent would pay half the expense.
The scheme originated IN Washington
and ought to be understood as its real in
tent, which is nothing more or less than .
plan to perpetuate the census officials
Of 1880 in Office and make the Bureau .
permanent fixture and tax on the people.
A dispatch from Washington says chat
several States have already signified
their desire to take advantage Of the Act.
but it will be necessary to have the law
amended in order to render the scheme
possible, As the existing legislation does
not cover the ground" If there are any
States that desire q census in 1885 there
is no law to prohibit them from taking
it at their own expense. There never
should be . law to compel other States
that are satisfied with = Federal census
every ten years to help pay the costs OF
. census in States that want n every
five years. The scheme is not only .
job to take money out of the National
Treasury, but to rob the States and fos-
ter some two or three thousand more
ravenous official parasites on the Fed
eral Government. "The scheme" says
the telegram, sis favored by the censua
officials, who have q strong desire to per-
petuate themselves in Office" No hon.
est member of Congress should have
anything to do with this job. An emu.
meration every ten years answers all the
purposes, so far as the States are con.
cerned. There might be some propriety
in q law Of Congress empowering the
President to order the taking Of the
census Of q Territory IN the application
of its Governor and Legislature when there
is reason to believe that such Territory
has more than sufficient population to
entitle it to q representative in Congress.
This would operate to the advantage Of
the several Territories. But the Census
Bureau schemers will find that this job
70 abstract money out of the National
and State Treasures won't take with the
people. All such swindling operations
should be stamped out at once, and any
attempt to amend the defective law
should be Kissed out Of the halls Of Con-
preas.

The San Francisco Exchange says:
1.-THE enormous sum that Congress he's
seen ct to appropriate to the payment OF
pensions has caused NO little criticism by
the prsss all ovsr the country. and to
some extent this criticism was justified,
not particularly on account Of the amount
appropriated, but because Of the lax pro.
visions Of the Arrsaragss bill. which have
opened the door to the avalanche OF
fraud, deceit, bribery and psrjury.
While but . few instances have been
brought to light and punished. despite
the constant watchfulness Of the Pension
Office. it il known that these fraudulent
crimes against the Government are null
tiplied day after day. By combination
and collision it is safe to say that n Q
quarter Of this vast amount of money
will be directed through channels opened
into the Treasury by rank perjury in the
establishment Of that disability" which
entities the claimant to compensation
under the Arrearages bill. Men with no
other disability than an ~ingrowing toe
nail may, under these loose laws, pounce
upon the Pension Fund and make of
with money enough to set themselves up
in comfortable business"

Tribal Organization.

1t is not surprising that the Indians
who are now entertaining the great
Father, should hesitate about giving up
their reservations and accepting 100
acres each IN severalty. Even the In
dams limited knowledge of arithmetic
was sufficient to teach him that he would
be q heavy loser by the transaction. The
Indian will In time have to give up his
tribal organization. But it will not hap
pen much before the pressure of popu
lation compels him. The time will come.
and perhaps now is not distant, when
land will be scarce in this country.
When that occurs the Indians will not
be able to maintain the vast reservations
now allotted to them. The tribal organ
ization which they now have is the most
primitive known to mankind. 1t Is the
organization of q nomadic tribe, and IS
held together rather by family and tribal
ties than by territory. No change has
taken place in the condition of the In
disns except that they are confined In
their roaming to smaller space than
formerly. The next step IN tribal de-
velopment is land in severalty, with a
chief, elective or hereditary, to whom q
larger share is allotted. In this condi
ton there are always common lands
which the tribe lands are annually reap.

tell by the expression Of her lar

friends OF De Long and Melville, among
them Major j. X. Duncan. Of Vellejo,
were with several of the Rodgers officers
in the Occidental hotel saloon San Fran

of fine cigars, and placing his card in
side each, directed one box to Lieut.. De
Long and the other to Engineer Melville
placing them in care OF DR.. Jones. to be
delivered in case the Jeanette people
were found. After the bnrning of the
Rodgers it was found that both boxes
of cigars had been saved. When the
men ran ont of tobacco in the native
villages, it was suggested to smoke the
cigars, but DIR. Jones insisted that they
should be saved aud they were brought
back on the Corwin. Major Duncan

A Tale Of Treasure Tr0ve.

About two months ago there hoated
through the newspapers an item to the
effect that Anna Chute, o workwoman In
the paper mill of the George W. Wheel
wright Paper company ut North Leo
minister, in this state, had found $500 In
. bale Of paper sto, which she was en- :
gagged in sorting. The money was in two
treasury notes $1,000 and $500 respective.
ly, OF the FIRST issue. On tracing the
matter it was found that the bale, which
was mostly writing paper. was one OF .
lot bought in New York. There was
abundant evidence in the papers that
they had come from certain New York
city bank, and correspondence was at
once begun with that bank with q view
to determining the question If the money
belonged to the institution. Asked il the
bank had met with any loss. the reply
came that since the bank was chartered,
may years ago, but one loss had oc-
cured, and that WAS in the autumn OF
1873, when $500 had disappeared from
a teller's tray and had never been found.
Suspicion had rested all these years on
several employees Of the banP. They
could not DO proved guilty Of the specu-
lation, nor would it have been possible
for them to establish their innocence had
they been charged with the robbery Of
the missing money. 1t vas the hope OF

Any day in summer one may meet
around the ferry dock an old lake captain
who was once crossing Saginaw Bay in
his schooner with such gale bowling
after him that no one expected the craft
to reach harbor. As the gale reached its
climax, the captain announced to the
mate beside him:
''Mr. Thomas, if we come safe ont of
this am done with whisky"
The mate said it was the same with
him, and the captain presently contln'
ued:
And I'll never utter another OATH
The mate agreed to also stop swearing,
and this warmed up the old man TO
promise:
"Apd I solemnly declare, Mr.. Thomas.
that I'll leave off chewing and smoking. "

Ruined by Drinking Water.

A we'll known dentist called the stten-
ton of reporter to the effects OF
Allegheny river water on the teeth of q
large portion of our citizens. He stated
that there were more persons afflicted
with white decay or crumbling teeth in
this vicinity than in any other city in
which he had practiced. The teeth of
those afflicted with this form Of disease
were generally very white, and they
gradually crumbled into powder. He
attributed the great prevalence OF white
decay to the absence Of lime in the drink
ing water. People suffer from scidity
Of the system, and lime was the alkali
which would benefit them. In the east
ern portion Of Pennsy lvania. or rather in
counties where the people drank "hard
water, they generally had hard and
sound teeth; but in communities where
soft" water was used, the opposite vas
found. He advised the drinking Of lime
water by people troubled with white de-
cay.-Pittsbu Commercial.
