To the Next census.

1t is very natural that there should be a
great deal of interest taken by the people
throughout the country just at this time in
the compilation of the eleventh census.
Many people are seeking offices now. and
an army of something like 40, 900 men will
altogether be employed in the census work
Only a small number of this vast aggrega-
tion will have employment longer than
thirty or forty days, however. The super
intendent of the census and his force OF
the real work in the field, which is to be-
gin on the LIST Of June next year. Alto
gether there will be 17J supervisors APP
pointed throughout the states and terrific
ries, an increase of twenty-five over the
list of ten years ago. The supervisors will
be apportioned according to the population
and the work which they will have to SUI
perintond. They will receive 1925 salary,
and are given 81 for every 1000 persons
enumerated in thickly settled districts and
$40 per 1000 in thinly settled districts.
| They shall not be permitted to make an ag-
gregate Of over $500 for the entire work.
This is very good pay, as scarcely over
forty days Of actual work will be involved.
The supervisors are appointed by the Pres
ident and must be confirmed by the senate,
The enumerators will be appointed by the
superintendent of the census upon the rec
o~mmendation of the supervisors, and in the
selection Of this army of enumerators a
very lively fight will take place between
republican representatives and republican
senators, each claiming the right to name
both the supervisors and the enulnerators.
The pay fixed for the enumerator is 2 cents
a head for all enumerated ana 5 cents for
each soldier or soldiers widow, Is cents a
farm and 90 cents for each manufacturing
establishment. In the thickly populated
regions the enumerators arc not permitted
to make more than "a a day, and in the
s~parsely settled districts their salaries are
confined to Sc a day. Those having thick
ly settled districts are expected to enumer-
ate about A 900 souls. In the tlialy popu-
lated districts the salaries will be fixed ar
b~itrarily without reference to the number
enumerated. The appointment of the su-
pervisors and the enumerators must take
place not later than the 1st Of May, 1890,
as all Of the work must be done in the fol-
lowing June. Most of The supervisors will,
of course, be determined upon by the end
of this year, and about all of them will be
nominated by the president during the first
three months of next year. The superin-
tendent Of the census has about completed
a redistricting of the country for the next
census, and has determined the number of
supervisors each state shall have.

fords sufficient reason for opposing prohi-
bition. His eminence believes in calling
things by their right name, and will not
have it that he who drinks a little is a
drunkard any more than that the man who
steals a little is a thief, who forges a little
is a forger, who CANDLES a little is a
gambler, who embezzles a little is an en-
bezzler, or who swears a little is aswearer.
To be logical, then, this great prelate
should write a second letter, advising his
flock that the small sin of liquor drinking
and selling be condoned, and the large sin
of confounding the moderate drinker with
the drunkard be rebuked and prohibition
be sat down upon at the polls.

James IIoagland, Esq, the lately ap-
pointed Law Judge for Cumberland coun-
ty, brings to the discharge of this import
ant trust qualifications of no mean order.
Joined to his ripe practice as member of
the Cumberland bar is his no less valuable
experience as States Attorney, covering a
period of a long number of years, which
will serve him well in his new and highly
responsible position. The rulings of the
Law Judge in the court just closed were
of a practical and hard sense turn, and
prove him the peer of many who have pre-
coded him on the bench. Especially salts
factory to the friends of law and order
throughout the county was the manner in

piled for being granted, and that one of a
slightly less Objectionable character than
those refused. Fra Ia the Judge.

Heavy rain and wind storms prevailed in
portions of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and the Northwest
during Thursday and Friday, May 30th
and 31st. Great damage has been done to
buildings and crops. At Wabash, Indiana,
snow fell to the depth of six inches. A
frightful catastrophe overwhelmed Johns
town, Cambria county, in Pennsylvania,
Friday evening. A reservoir above the
town broke, and the rushing flood swept
away houses and their inhabitants, causing
a loss of thousands of lives. Nearly the
whole town was submerged. The first re-
ports of the destruction fell short of the
reality; and the calamity is now seen to be
the most awful in the history of this coun-
try. To the havoc done by the flood was
added the horror of fire, a vast mass of
wreckage, to which the survivors were
clinging being burned, and the estimate of
the loss of life from this cause ranges from
one hundred to the incredible figure of two
thousand. The estimates of the total loss
of life made by Adjutant-Gene Hastings,
of Pennsylvania, place it from $4,000 to

As will he seen in another column, about
sixty of the Prohibitionists, including the
members of the State Central Committee,
met at Trenton and decided to nominate
and run candidates for state and local of

decision of this committee will influence
the thousands of Prohibitionists through
but the State we are of course unable to say.

During the storm of June l. near Wash.
burn, North Dakota, the sky was black
with a mammoth flock Of ducks, estimated
at from 500, 900 to 1000, 900. Suddenly
there came in quick succession four vivid
flashes of lightning, and swarms of birds
fell in heaps to the ground. 1t is thought
at least 10, 600 were killed.
Tie two greatest money Losers by the
storm and the bursting reservoir at Johns
town, Pa, have been the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the Cambria Iron
Company. They are also the largest con
tributors to the relief fund.

If more were wanting to prove the sub
serviency of the secular press to politics
and political parties, the voluminous state
ments concerning the death of Dir. Cronin
arc sufficient. DR.. Cronin was brutality
and foully murdered while engaged in
what he conceived the line of duty, and
because as an irish nationalist his work
affected the Irish cause, and chiefly be-
cause Irishmen have votes, the papers
TEEN with all the sickening and narrowing
details of the case. Had Cronin been a
Prohibitionist, as was Haddoek, with no
political influence to command, a six line
item concerning the murder might have
satisfied the censciences of these con-
scienceless editors.

How the Philadelphia Record and others
who look through rum spectacles rejoice
when a minister of the gospel prostitutes
his high calling to denounee prohibition.
It is so much more than they expect, SO
much more, in fact, than they have a
right to expect, that many of them 60
nearly frantic with JOY over it. And why
over a minister more than any other man.!
Why, for the reason that his calling stands
for all that is pure and holy and exalted,
and the rum party stand for so entirely the
opposite, that they rejoice with exceeding
joy when they succeed in making a minis
ter of light a seyen-fold more devil than
themselves. And we'll they may, s'for
what fellowship hath light with darkness
or what communion good with evil"
that this thing should be?

Cen,ral Committee Meeting.

The Prohibitionists of New Jersey, SO
far as the State Central Committee can
speak for them, are going to pursue their
usual course and place an entire State
ticket in the field and it will be in advance
of either ofthe regular parties.
About seventy members of the commit
tee, representing all the counties but Cape
May and Atlantic, met in Trenton on Tues
day. They held their session with closed
doors and, by resolution, rejected all the
reporters. Cortlandt L. Parker, of Perth
Amboy, chairman of the committee, pre-
sided. Considerable time was spent hear
ing from the chairmen of the county com
mittees.
W. IT. Nicholson, of Camden, stated
that his county was ready to 60 to work
with vigor and he promised a liberal sup
port to the cause. DR.. Graw said there
was every reason to believe that the third
party was to day in better position than
ever and that it would receive the sup
port of many of the old party men, who
had by bitter experience learned that
neither of the parties could be trusted for
safe liquor legislation.
George w. Everett spoke for Hunter
don, and predicted a bigger vote than ever.
D. E. Smith reported that Cumberland
would do better. The reports from Salem
showed that the organization was altogeth-
er d~emoralized in that county aud many

publicans. DR.. Chattell announced him.
self as a straight out and out Prohibitionist.
General Fisk was present, and he made
the most important speech of the day.
He said he was going to cooperate with
the party, and was of the opinion that it
would not be safe to form a combination
with any party, but to continue in the
same course as in the past. He denied
that he had stated that he was in favor and
would cooperate with any party that
would nominate men that could be trusted
for conscientious liquor legislation.
George A. Lamonte, of Somerset county,
was frequently referred to as the standard
bearer of the party and will be the next
nominee of the party for governor. He
was candidate for Congress in the Fourth
District last winter. lie made a warm
speech. Much was said about the news
paper fabrlcations and the necessity OF
counteracting all false impressions that
they had created. W. II. Mccormick, of
Asbury Park, seconded by Solomon Par
sons, of Paterson, once candidate for gov
ernor, introduced this resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
"That we stand squarely to our princi-
pies and enter into no combinations or
utilization with old parties"
After much discussion it was decided to
hold the convention at once and the date
fixed is the 10Th and 18th of July at As
bury Park.
Candidates will be nominated in every
Assembly district. A large fund will be
| raised and the most active canvass in the
history of the party will be made. w.
