We were escorted TO cherry orch

trees of 3 Chinese variety of this fruit,
all in full bloom. The odor from

that hung on the boughs was so sweet
that the air seemed to rise and fall In
waves of perfume. The ground was
literally white underneath with a car
pet of fallen petals. The effect of this
sight on the 18th of January, with the
thermometer registering rs deg. In the
shade, left lasting impression upon
my mind.

We now come to a series of lotus
lakes. As it was not the right season
of the year we did not see any of the
sacred blossoms; and indeed, owing
to the fact that it was ebb tide, some
of the ponds were actually filthy In
appearance. But we could judge from
photographs which hung on the
walls what the principal of these
lakes must be at the proper season OF

.There is too much presidential

be President. and there no use of
expecting any reform tariff from
them. although they both believe in it.

vote was not cast it would not be difficult
matter to learn from the cOlOrcd people them
selves why they failed to register or to vote. In
tho absence of such investigation, however, the
naked fact that less than half of the qualified
voters in five States managed to get their votes
cast and counted will have great weight with
public opinion. If the Democrats desire to re-
move the impression which such ii fact creates,
individual dcnals. however numerous and
earnest, have little effect. Their short and sure
way to remove the impression which they con-
slider unjust is to join with the Republicans in
the Senate in voting at once for thorough and
searching investigation. If they are not willing
to investigate, most people Will conclude that
they have very good reason for refusing.

TIE AEIH EPIDEMIC

1t is difficult TO get at tho facts in regard to
the great mortality in Eastern Kentucky and
Western Virginia, the region affected being far
from railroads. difficult Of access and noun
famous. and the people who are suffering being
anything but careful or scientific observers
The attempts to describe the symptoms of the
complaint which is said to he causing such
havoc among the mOuntaincers have been thus
far 80 confused and contradictory as almost to
battle inquiry. Taking the mean of several
accounts, however, the probability appears to
be that the soil of the whole affected region ia
moro or less impregnated with minerals,
notably with iron and copper; that long
drouth has dried up nearly all the sweet
springs of the country, and caused the feeble
flow of those which remain to be powerfully
saturated with mineral matter; that because of
tho general scarcity of water much OF this
mineral water has been drunk; and that the

II IA stated that although four years have
elupsed since the census was taken, the reports
of few of the special agents are still incom-
plete On the whole, this does not seem I'M
reasonable. The Census Bureau was compelled
according to the plan arranged by MIR. Walker,
the superintendent to rely upon the work OF
large number of special agents and extras, any one
of whom under the plan could delay the work spe-
cially ntrusted to his charge almost indefinitely.
II has seemed to many that the plan was in that
respect specially deficient. 1t gave opportunity
not only to delay certain portions OF tho work,
but by unwise padding or expansion on the one
hand or unwlse neglect on the other, to render
each his portion of the work altogether Inade-
ouate. In ono or two instances the special re-
norts have been less complete and satisfactory
than statements which have been printed by tho
sumo persons after their services rs special
agents of the Census Bureau had been COM
pcted. But in most instances the disposition
of the census extras has been to publish ex-
trayagantly full and elaborate reports, with
little regard to the real value of the matter con-
tained therein. The Censns Bureau has needed
An editor from the beginning, and unhappily
has had none.
Nevertheless, in value of Information selected,
this census far surpasscs any other that has Dccn
taken in this country, and 1t would be matter
of great regret IL by reason Of any defective ar
