IT is to be hoped that the new Superin-
tendent of the Census will exercise extra
ordinary care in the selection of enumera-
tors who are to take the census next year.
1t is notorious that in 1880 there were
many appointed to that important office
who were wholly unfit for the places, and
that as result the enumeration of the peo-
pie was faulty in many respects. Many
cities and States suffered in consequence.
We are satisfied that the enumeration Civ
ing this city but $1,000 of population was
inaccurate by three or four thousand.
When the petitions begin to circulate, as
they will very soon, for appointments, it
will be we'll for citizens to refuse to sign
any recommendation unless they know the
applicant to be clerically competent, faith
full and conscientious worker in what
ever he undertakes to accomplish.

Hon. E. j. PHELPS, late United States
Minister at the Court of St. James, in his
recent Grafton at Harvard University
said that the time has come for the adop-
ton by this Nation of definite and per-
manent policy in foreign relations; one
that will be outside of party conflicts and
that shall pass from Administration to
Administration, and form body of Gus
toms and modes of procedure to be always
followed That is sound expression and
will find no antagonists-bu such policy
must be American through and through,
and have nothing of the flavor of foreign
suggestion, fear or favor. The one thing
in this regard that the people of the
United States are demanding, is that our
foreign policy shall be not only definite
but firm, and rather aggressive than tenn
porizing or conciliatory. We do not want
war with any people; we wish to live in
peace with all, but we do need to put up the
bars, for one thing, against not only an in
discriminate immigration, but against the
adoption of foreign ideas as to the policy
of the Republic, and against the seizure of
the vehicles of our commerce, and the alb
sorption by antagonistic foreign influences,
commercial and otherwise, of the avenues
of our traffic and the agencies of communi-
cation and interstate trade. In short, we
want foreign policy under which such
assaults as the Canadian Pacific Railway
is now making upon our lines of transcon-
tinental communication and commerce
will not be possible; policy under which
foreign powers will think thrice before
entering upon schemes to crowd us from
the highways of the world, as Germany
attempted in the case of Samoa. As Mr..
Phelps forcibly says, back of firm and
bold foreign policy that shall command
the respect of strangers, strong navy is
necessary. Our relations with foreign
Powers when involved in dispute that
must be settled by last resort, will be de-
pendent upon our strength upon the high
seas, and the vigor with which we assert
our rights in all waters.

citation, together with discussion of the
origin and relations of the fora, it is con-
cluded by eminent botanists that Green
land is not European province from the

lea there is the utmost sincerity. To
crown all, at the conclusion of the cere-
monies, in which several thousand French
men participated, the municipal authori-
ties of the city of Paris sent steamers, and
escorted the entire party of celebrants and
their guests to the Hotel de Vile, where
they were banqueted, and ''Uncle Sam"
was the toast of the hour There was in
all this ceremonial a great deal more than
formality. The tenure of the Republic of
France may not be very secure, but French
man have keen appreciation of the liber-
ties of Americans, and of the wonderful
progress made in this country under free
government. Whatever may be their
own failure to set up and maintain repub-
lie as we understand the term, the aspira-
tions in that direction of their foremost
men are of the loftiest character.

EXCITING SCENES IN COURT.
The Trial Of O'Brien the Occasion OF
q Riot

pustfN, Jan. 24.-The trial of vii
liam O'Brien on charge of conspiracy, be
gan to-day at Carrick-on- SUR. The Gov
ernment had issued a procla.1ation forbid
ding any demonstration welcoming Mr.
o'Bfien, but despite this action 20, 900 per
sons gathered at the Court House.
Six hundred policemen charged the CROWD
using their batons freely, but were unable
to disperse the gathering. Tho excitement
was feverish and as Mr.. o'Brien ap
preached the Court House he was greeted
with vaciferous cheering.
While he was striving to pass througt
the crowd to enter the Court House he was
seized by peliee inspector and dragged 81
yards. The people, maddened by this
pressed forward 70 rescue him, but the
police repulsed the crowd.
Timothy Healy, who stepped forward to
aid Mr.. O'Brien, was met by q bayone,
leveled at his breast, and number Of re.
porters were maltreateds
Mr.. O'Brien complained to the Judge
that the police were attempting to incite a
bloody riot. When the case for the Crown
had been presented Mr.. Healy, on behalf
OF the defendant, applied for subp9nas 70,
Lord Salisbury and Balfour, both of whom
he asserted, had made speeches similar to
these OF MIR. O'Brien, but the Court re
fused TO issue the desired subp9nas.
The spectators In tho court room re
ceived the decision with murmurs and the
magistrate ordered the galleries cleared.
While this was being done Mr.. O'Bricn ex
claimed: I'm clear out also,n and started
for the door.
The Magistrate shouted: "Stop him, +" and
n constable grabbed Mr.. O'Brien, bu; after
sharp struggle he, with the aid Of some
spectators, managed 10 reach the street
with no worse damage than a torn coat,
and the immense crowd escorted him
through the town.
The police used their batons without
mercy upon the people, who responded with
stones and sticks. During the melee Mr.
O'Brien was struck violently IN the breas,
with rife stock and scores Of persons
were injured.
The court issued n warran, for the arrest
Of o'Brien and then adjourned.
The police with fixed bayonets are pa
trolling the streets OF the town.
Twenty persons received bayonet thrusts
and some Of them were dangerously wound,
cd. AT least 10 others were more or less
injured by the batons OF the police.
MIR. O'Bricn's location is not known. II
is thought he will no, appear in court TO-
morrow.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The following ar
ticle in the North German Gazette relative
to the treaty regarding Samoa has caused
n commotion in official circles here. BY
some it is regarded as q deliberate defiance
to the Washington Government
The North German Gazette bismarck
orgau) denies the existence of any treaty
prccluding any European power from ac
quiring the ascendency in Samoa. 1t alsc
denies tho assertion that England and the
United States are agreed that the proceed
ings of the German agent in Samoa are con
.rary to the stipulations of any treaties OF
opposed to diplomatic etiquette, and tina,
these powers have officially notified the
German Government accordingly.
The treaties, the Gd-ette further says,
provide that Samoa shall concede to each
of the treat powers equal rights with either
of the others, but no treaty regarding the
neutrality or independence of Samoa exists
between Germany and the United States.

A SMOOTH scOUNDREL.
An indianapolis Man a Half Million
Short in His Accounts.

HARTFORD. Conn, Jan. 2i-Colonel
Jacob Green, President OF the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company, made the
following announcement this evening: II
has Just been discovered that the financial
correspondent of the company at Indianap-
oils, after sixteen years OF service, is a de
faultcr. For the past week his accounts
have been under investigation and n defal.
cation has been found. The extreme
amount involved is about 500, 900. He has
restored to the Company property which
may reduce the actual loss to s400,ooO. The
loss will not in any degree affect the Com
pany's solvcncy, nor even interfere with its
regular dividends.
The agent is Joseph II. Moore, leading
citizen OF indianapolis, about forty five
years old, who has hitherto occupied
high position in that community.
He has been speculating and the
steal consists OF three parts of the prin-
cipal OF the loan paid to him by Dor
rowcrs, to be rcmitted to the company. The
interest was paid TO him for the same pur.
pcse and rents collected by him on real
estate in his care. The theft of principal
and interest is concealed in part by more
or less frequent payments of interest on
loans In the past by a mos, ingenious and
consistent series of false bonds. In re
sponsc to frequent inquiries by the com.
pany he represented these borrowers as
being in financial difficulty, but anxious to
struggle on and pay their debt and save
their property from foreclosure, and he
u l.,,,,
on the company's part, and promising they
would make payments whenever possible.
He continually represented himself as
carefully watching these people and doing
all he could To aid them 10 worry through.
These thcfts began at n time when there
was great deal of financial distress in In
danapolis and when the company not only
did what IL could to aid borrowers In saw
ing their property but was compelled to
take in great deal of real estate, and this
state OF depression came later in Indian
npolis than elsewhere and occurred for n
long time so that nil was in his favor.
Moorc's statements were entirely con.
sistcnt with and apparently u continuous
part OF the previous history. Many cases
thus In arrears were actually brought out
successfully, thus apparently confirming
his representations. Meantime he was con-
stantly rcmitting for borrowers very largo
sums of money in n correct manner, His posi-.
tion and reputation and his energy and abil
ity all made It seem impossible that he could
bctray so great trust This is tho only
loss through u financial correspondent tho
company has ever experienced in the AZ
years OF It's career.

The Shortage VIII BE Small, in Fact the
Books May BE Correct.
Concerning the alleged defalcation of
Clerk Van Alst, President Conway, of the
Fire Board, said he would make no state
ment till after the meeting of the Board
next Monday night
The books have been examined only as
far back as April 1885, At that time
President Conway assumed charge and
Commissioner Shea stepped down and
out.
The only item of sale for which there is
Treasurer's receipt is the proceeds of an
auction sale of horses made by Auctioneer
i. G, Wolbert on Monday, September IL
amounting to 1887 49, This money was
paid by check, handed over to President
Conway, who deposited it with the City
Treasurer, and the department holds the
City Treasurer's receipt.
The account for sales of building per-
mitS and manure are inaccurately kept
till October 18, 1888. Since that time
there have been no entries
made Assistant Chief Denmead, who
was appointed to examine the books,
found the total shortage for the year
amounted to $780, There is neither money
in the safe nor in the hands of the City
Treasurer to account for this. No account
has been rendered for the sale of insur-
ance badges, and there is no way to find
out what the sale amounted to.
What the developments will be when
the accounts are examined for the past
ten years, it is impossible as yet to conjec-
ture. They may possibly be correct.
