he will be, he will owe considerable
of the movement in his favor to Col.
Albert Clark late of the Rutland Her

HARRISON'S CABINET.

The following despatch came to the
at once bulletined and sent into neigh
boring towns by mail:
Secretary OF state, James G. Blaine
of Maine.
Secretary of the treasury, William
Window of Minnesota
Secretary of war, Redfield Proctor
of Vermont.
Secretary of the navy, Benjamin F..
Tracy of New York.
Postmaster-genera John Wana-
maker of Pennsylvania.
Secretary of the interior, John W.
Noble of Missouri.
Attorncy-genera William Henry
Harrison Miller of Indiana
Secretary of agriculture, Jeremiah
H. Rusk of Wisconsin.
These nominations were confirmed
by the Senate at one O'Clock Tuesday.
Aside from Blaine and Window the
Presidents cabinet are strangers in
Washington. But after all this may
not be an objection. Perhaps the
greatest objection to the cabinet, as
of Gen Harrison's choosing. From
reports that have filled the air for
the past few weeks it would seem
that as soon as Gen. Harrison had
about decided upon q man for either
portfolio the politicians would rush
III and bring such a pressure to bear
that he would change his mind. This
is not true as regards Mr.. Blaine.
1t would seem that he was Gen. Har-
rison's choice from the first. 1t is to
be earnestly hoped that he will not
be the evil genius of this administra-
ton, as he was ofGarfield' 5, but that
there is a general fear of the man i'll
this important place it is useless to
deny Just half of the cabinet are
old army men, and several of them
are earnest Christian men ; for all OF
which the people will thank God and
take courage.
The selection of a cabinet officer
from Vermont is matter of cOngrat-
ulation. Perhaps no man in the
state is better fitted for such posi-
ton than Gov. Proctor. The only
cabinet officer Vermont has ever be
fore had was Jacob Collamer who
was postmaster general under Presi-
dent Fillmore

THE INCOMING PRESIDENT.

The country is to be congratulated
on the peaceable and suspicious ac-
cessiOn of Gen. Benjamin Harrison to
the presidency. Everything in his
lineage, education, public life and pri-
vate character mark him a man OF
whom every citizen should feel proud.
While as yet his administration is
untried and its success not proven,
there is very general belief that it will
be an honest and upright one, and
this because of the faith the people
have in Benjamin Harrison. He has
an arduOus work before him; his
trials have but just begun. He should
have the support that comes from
fifty million people who wish him
well and who will excuse minor mis-
takes if they see his heart is right and
his intent the best good of this great
nation. 1t is great honor to have
an upright, honest, Christian man
president of the United States. Long
live President HarriSOnl

CONCERNING THE CENSUS.

Some Facts Regarding the Work Being
Done by This Important Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA surprisingly
large machine is that which MIR. Porter
has set in motion in the quarters of the
census Office in this city, and it is not a
tenth part as big now as it will be year
hence. About 100 typewriters and clerks
are now at work. In March of next
year 1900 clerks will be at work, and in
June the 10000 enumerators will take
the field.
VALUE OF THE TYPEWRITER.
In 1880 the typewriter was not used at
all by Gen. Walker, but Mr.. Porter con-
siders that the day of the pen copyist
has gone, and will not have his records
in script where the legible work of the
typewriter is practicable for the purpose.
This substitution of the typewriter for
the pen, Mr.. Porter calculates, will re-
suit in a saving of 5000 to the govern.
ment, consequent upon the rapidity with
which the work will be done. The only
work for penmen at the Office is the ad-
dressing of envelopes, and this will not
require large force for several months
to come. When the work of the census
taking is at its height there will prob
ably be forty or fifty ladies employed in
addressing envelopes. The numbers of
these coverings OF census Office commu-
nications called in Use seems incredible.
Even now, when the work is not devel-
oped, it is not uncommon for an order of
ESQ, 900 envelopes to be given.
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR A POOR JOB.
The Office of enumerator is accompan-
led by very small compensation, yet
100000 applications have been put in for
appointment. Each letter received is
answered, which involves tremendous
correspondence. Several hundred Of
these letters daily have to be answered
by the superintendent, who employs
four stenographers. Not small part of
the work now being prosecuted under
Mr.. Porter is that of preparing the maps
showing the census districts fo1 all parts
of the country. These districts do not
correspond with the congressional dis
tricts, but are composed of counties,
giving each supervisor about five times
as much territory as congressman have
enclosed within their fences.
