Rsnublican Chairman Cooper, OF Penn
avlvania-the ''red.headed and hopeful"
Of the newspapers Of his state--bas some
ideas about party iealty in dry time:
His first thought is that Republican
oiice.holder is as much Republican this
wear as be was about this time last year,
when we were burning powder and coal
oil and making brass noise and hurrah-
ing for the Plumed knight and the Black
Eagle. MIR. Cooper's second and related
thought is, that the Republican Office
holder will not desire to conceal his Re
uublicanism, having the courage OF his
convictions even in defeat. Having
thought this much Mr.. Cooper concludes
that the Pennsylvania Republican ONCE
holder, be he at home or in Washington
will be not only willing but anxious to
contribute 10 the success OF the Repub'
Ecan cause,
Chairman Cooper is right. Now is q
good time TO discover who stands 70 Ms
guns and who deserts. The Republicans
who are ducking their heads and lying
low-patrios who howled for Blaine and
voted for him, but bow with submission
TO Cleveland and arc cordially in favor Of
Democratic Civil Service reform ii they
can get slice Of it-aII, these be the fel'
lows to make a note of. Some day, when
Higgins the AverAer desires a novel
amusement, he will load up the Civil
Service Reform bellows and try the extir'
minating virtues OF Persianinsect powder

Tho GrSatCit OF Censuses Proving One OF the
Most Dismal Failures.
FdsEiFCioa l. Ter \. u san.
Five million dollars and Ave years hRyl
gone, and not one half Of the tenth census
is yet printed. And is doubtful il more
than two thirds of that work ever will see
the light. Twelve quarto volumes Of an
average OF | 900 psges each and profusely
illustrated with maps have now been
published. These relate TO population
manufactures, agriculture and meat pro-
duCtionp, transportation, cotton 1.-TWO
volumea) valuation, taxation and public
Indebtedness, newspapers, periodicals and
the seal fisheries, forestry with large
atlas) petroleum and building stones, and
the first volume OF mortality statistics. II
is believed that before the Census. Office
expires by limitation, the Sd Of nezt
March, in addition to the volumes named,
five more can be published, relating to
mortality social statistics Of cities lin two
yolumes) water power and mining laws.
But even II these hopes are fully realized
seven large volumes will go by default.
These deal with the defective and de-
linquent classes, education and churches,
the fisheries, mechanics, insurance, social
statistics Of mining, and MISCELLANEOUS.
The idea was to make it positively the
biggest thing out in censuses. 1t was the
centennial epoch, and everything was on
a sublime scale. But a fatal error Of jndg-
ment ruined the enterprise ut the outset.
To enable him to cover the wide range OF
inquiry he proposed, the Superintendent
asked The cooperation Of leading special
lists all over the country. These men were
made special agents. This policy ruined
the census. The special agents were
learned and famous men, but they were
inexperienced and ignorant in census
work. To take an example; The Geolo-
gical Survey was asked to furnish the
statistics Of Indians in their tribal rela-
tions-that is, Of the wild Indians not tax
ed and eligible to citizenship. For this
item $4,000 was allowed the Survey.
Years passed, and nothing could be learn
ed OF that census OF the wild tribes. Final
". Major Powell sent 10 the Office one
page OF manuscript, which Is all the gov
eminent ever got for its $4,000.
Only five men are now engaged in the
Census Office, where four years ago as
many as ! 200 were at one time borne on
the rolls. But the FIVE know their duty
and do it faithfully, and so are able TO
turn OF more work than as many hum
dreds OF the cattle that swarmed in the
long rooms during the early days Of the
Office. 1t was maxim OF that time that
the good clerks were kept busy correcting
the mistakes Of the bad ones.
The large bound quarto volumes are
published in an edition OF 10000 copies
each. This Is in addition TO the publica-
ton in pamphlet form Of many separate
reports. The bound editions are much too
small to meet the demand, and all the
published volumes are now only to be
had at the secondhand book stores, the
set OF twelve volumes bringing sS5 to $40.

Washington dispatches tell OF weekly
newspaper enterprise soon to be set on
foot in that city. 1t Is tho venture OF
twenty resident correspondents, each one
Of whom is to contribute an article week
over his own name. The writer's are to
choose their own topics, express their own
views, handle men and things in their own
way. There is to be no editor, no one to
say what shall be printed and what left
out; nobody to condense and nobody to
point up or pad out. This is heralded as
q novelty in journalism.
The main feature Of the new paper is to
be the absence OF an editor. There is
really nothing new in this. The expert
ment Of running a newspaper without an
editor has Been made before. At
this moment We have in mind
some efforts OF this character. The news
papers show it. Nobody can be mistaken
in them. There is the substance OF mis-
cellaneous assortment Of uninteresting
nothings, the evidence Of things SHOW
eled in. The single purpose
which animates the well conducted
newspaper, tho stamp Of the experienced
directing mind, is glaringly wanting
Everything isatsixesand sevens. Forwant
offs steady hand at the helm every depart
ment is at SEQ. The reader appreciates
all this, though he may not be able to
aualyze it, and it takes from the pleasure
which he ought to find in his newspaper
And SO we have newspaper without an
editor, without controlling motive-ap-
parently without reason Of being-and
therefore without influence.
No, the newspaper without an editor is
not u novelty and is not q success. Those
bright fellows, the Washington correspon-
dents, can devise something better. Per-
haps their scheme has been misunder'
stond. .i.
