Census ONCE, Washington, ID. c., May l.
TO the Medical Profession:
The various medical associations and
medical profession will be glad to learn
that DR.. John 5. Billings, Surgeon, U.
5. Army, has consented to take charge
of the Report on the Mortality and
Vital Statistics of the United States as
returned by the Eleventh Census.
AS the United States has 80 system
of registration of vital statistics, such
as is relied upon by other civilized ma
tions for the purpose of ascertaining
the actual movement of population,
our census affords the only opportunity
of obtaining near an approximate esti-
mate of the birth and death rates of
much the larger part OF the country,
which is entirely unprovided With any
satisfactory system of State and nnlni-
cipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office,
during the month of May this year,
will issue TO the medical profession
throughout the country Physicians
Registers" for the purpose of obtain
ing more accurate returns, of deaths
than it is possible for the enumeratoDs
to make. 1t is earnestly hoped that
physicians in every part of the country
will cooperate with the Census Office
in this important work. The record
should be kept from June l, 1889, to-
May 81, 1890 Nearly $4,000 of these
registration books were filled up and
returned to the office in 1880, and near
ly all of them, used for statistical pur-
poses. 1t is hoped that double this
number will be obtained for the
Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers
can obtain them by sending their
names and addresses to the Census
Office, and, with the Register, an
official envelope which requires no
stamp will be provided for their return
to Washington.
If all medical and surgical practi-
TONERS throughout the country will
lend their aid, the mortality and vital
statistics of the Eleventh Census will
be more comprehensive and complete
than they have ever been. Every ply
stefan shouldi take personal pride in
having this report as full and accurate
as it is possible to make it..
1t is hereby promised that all infor-
nation obtained through this source
shall be held strictly confidential.

Superintendent of Census.

First Democratic Ticket Under the
Present Constitution.

The Democracy of Ohio nominated
and elected the following ticket at the
first election under the present Consti
tuition:
For Governor-Reuben Wood. oi
Cuyahoga county.
For Lieutenant Governor-Wm
Medill, of Fairfield county.
For Supreme Judges-Allen G. Thur
man, of Ross county; William B. Cald-
well, of Hamilton county; John A.
Corwin, of Champaign county; Thomas
w. BARLEY, of Richland county; Rufus
P. Ranney, of Trumbul county.
For Attorney General-George E.
Pugh, of Hamilton county.
For Auditor of State-Wm. d. Nor
gan, of Columbiana county.
For Treasurer of State-John G. Bres-
lin, of Seneca county.
For Board of Public Works-George
w. Manypenny, of Muskingum coun-
ty; A. P. Miller, of Butler county;
James B. Steedman, of Lucas county.
That was strong ticket. 1t was
nominated with reference to its
strength. If the Democrats in State
Convention on the 2Sth of August shall
nominate a ticket equally strong in all
its parts and conciliatory spirit, 1t will
be triumphantly elected, as was the
foregoing ticket in 1851.

THE WABASH CONSOLIDATION.
The Largest Fee for Certificate of In.
corporation Paid at Columbus.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 1.-Another big
railroad deal was consummated o-day
by the consolidation of the Wabash sys-
tenn, certificate for which was filed
with the Secretary of State this fore
noon. The companies in the corpora
tion are the Toledo Western, the De-
troit & State Line Wabash railroad
company, the Wabash Eastern railway
company of Indiana, the Wabash East
ern railway company of Illinois, and
the Wabash Western railway company,
all of which are consolidated under the
name of the Wabash railroad company.
The only Ohio road, and the really new
factor in the consolidation is the Tole-
do & Western, which was incorporated
in May last, with q capital stock of
100000. This road is to run from To-
ledo through Lucas, Henry, Defiance
and Paulding counties to point on the
state line between Ohio and Indiana,
aAd is intended to farm a connecting
link in the Wabash system.
The articles consolidating this sys-
tenn, with an aggregate capital stock of
$50, ,000,0 900, we're filed with the Secreta-
ry of State to-day, for which fee of
$1,000 was paid. Mr.. Burchard Hayes
of Toledo, son of ex-President Hayes,
appeared as attorney for the company
and rendered check for 500, the
amount of the fee calculated on the or
iginal capital stock of the Toledo West
ern road, holding that this was all the
law required. Secretary of State Ryan
differed in his construction of the Mas
sic law, and refused to file the articles
unless the full amount provided by the
recently enacted statute was paid,
which is plain and makes no distinction
as to the roads incorporated outside of
the State. 1t also provides that the
same fees shall be charged for consoll-
dation as for filing original articles of
incorporation. AS soon as the law was
explained it was found that Mr.. Hayes
was provided with two certified checks,
one of which was for $52, 900. This was
paid the Secretary of State and the GER
tificate of consolidation was filed.
With the receipts of to-day. the fees
of the Secretary of States office since
May Is foot up to 100000. The quar-
ter does not end until August Is, and
Mr.. Ryan thinks the receipts for the
next fifteen days will n ach $25. 900.

A correspondent to one of our west
ern exchanges in writing on mortgages
says that mortgage is queer institu-
ton. 1t makes man rustic and keeps
him poor. 1t is a strong incentive to
action and wholesome reminder of the
fieeting months and years. It is fully
as symbolical in its meaning as the hour
glass and sythe that means death. A
mortgage also means industry, because
it is never idle and it never rests. 1t is
like bosom friend, because the greater
the adversity the closer it sticks to a
fellow. 1t is like o brave soldier, it
never hesitates at charges, nor fears to
close in on the enemy. 1t is like the
sand bag of the thug-silent in applica-
ton, but deadly in effect. 1t is like the
hand of Providence, it spreads over all
creation, and its influence is everywhere
visible. 1t is like the grasp of the devil
fish, the longer it holds the greater its
strength. 1t will exercise feeble ener-
gies and lend activity to a sluggish
brain, but no matter how hard the debt
or works, the mortgage works still hard
er. A mortgage is good thing to have
in the family-provided always that it
is in some other fellows family. 1t is
like a boil, always a good thing on
somebody else. 1t makes fellow sour,
cross, selfish, unsociable' and rarely
does him any good only to exercise him.
In that respect it is equal to vigor of
life or the latest patent medicine.

WHITE HOUSE KITCHEN.
A Reminiscence OF Little Tad Lin
coin in 1852.

Both the steward and the cook had
! demonstrated with master Tadu upon
bringing into the kitchen of the White
House "such squads Of poor, dirty, hum
cry street urchins to be fed;" and at last
Peter said that Mrs. Lincoln must be
told.
Tad flew into a rage, ran upstairs to
see his mother himself, and on finding
her out searched the place for his busy
father.
Meanwhile, the small objects of his
charity waited at the lower door, for
Peter had absolutely refused to let them
''step inside"
The indignant boy spied his father
just crossing the yard, with head
bowed, eyes to the ground, talking
earnestly to Mr.. Seward, as they walked
to the department of State together.
He cried out to him at once: Father!
father can't / bring those poor, cold,
hungry boys home with me whenever
l want to? Isn't it our kitchen?"
BY this time Tad had his father by
the hand. who stopped short to listen at
the frantic appeal.
Cant give them a good warm din
ner to-day, say? They're just as hun
CRY as bears, and two of 'em are the
boys of a soldier, too! And, father Pm
going to discharge Peter this minute, if
he don't get out the meat and chicken
and pies, and all the things we had left
yesterday. Say, mayn't /? Isn't it our
kitchen, father?"
Secretary Seward was shaking with
laughter. Mr.. Lincoln turned to him
with twinkle: "Seward, advise with
me. This case requires diplomacy"
Mr.. Seward patted Tad on the back,
and said he must be careful not to run
the government in debt, and the Presi-
dent took Tad's little brown hands in
his own big one. and, with droll smile,
bid him to "run along home and feed
the boys" and added, "Tell Peter that
you are really required to obey the bible
by getting in the manned and the blind,
and that he must be a better chistian
than he is!u
In less than an hour Mr.. Seward said
they passed through the yard on their
way to the cabinet meeting, and no less
than 10 small boys were sitting with
Tad on the lower steps, cracking nuts
and having Estate Dinner"
Mr.. Lincoln remarked that the kitch-
en- was ours"

The Portsmouth Times fifty describes
the denomination of Foraker as 1.-THE
boom of boss" and says. the Republi-
can State convention did just what the
Democrats of Ohio wished it to do. It
nominated candidate for Governor
who invites defeat, and whose defeat
will put an end to the veriest stdemagogue,
the nastiest political boss, and the most
treacherous politician that figures in
Ohio politics. He has insulted and of
Tended every high-minded, self-respect-
ing Republican leader in the State. He
has been considerate to those only who
answered his beck. He has betrayed
the confidence ofhis political associates,
and been faithless to any trust, when
treachery was apt to promote his am
bitions or lead to his preferment. His
betrayal to John Sherman is too recent
and too conspicuous to need to be re-
called. 1t was too open to be concealed,
too base to be excused or palliated.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
An Important Decision on Delinquent
Tax Inquisitors.

SANDUsKY, July 31.--In the case of the
treasurer of this county against the eX-
ecutors of the late F. r. Barney, to en-
force the payment of S4,702 of taxes,
Judge Dewitt yesterday rendered de-
cision in favor of the defendants, on
the ground that the law under which
the proceeding was brought is uncon-
stitutional.
The law is the one providing for the
employment of detective, or, as the
statute calls them, tax inquisitors, to
look up property omitted from the tax
duplicate and have it placed there for
taxation. The court held that the re-
troactive clause of the law rendered it
invalid. The tax inquisition here is be-
ing carried on by ex-senator cole, rep
resenting Cleveland firm, and he has
succeeded in adding many thousand
dollars to the duplicate. Several thou
sand dollars of back taxes had been
paid before this decision was rendered,
but furtherpayments will not be made
until the question at issue is decided by
the Supreme Court.

~ AM NOT AND SHALL NOT"

Ex-Secretary Whitney Declares His
Purpose Not to be a Candidate For

NEW YORK, July 31.-The Star will
publish the following tomorrow:
To THE EDITOR OF THE Stdr-Sir:
An item is going the rounds of the press
to the effect that new weekly news
paper is about to be established at
Washington in my interest as a candi-
date for the Presidency.
Be kind enough to publish that it is
absolutely without foundation. lam not
and shall not be, candidate for the
nomination to that office, nor to any
other.
There are men in the Democratic
party much better entitled to its hon
ors than am, and Iexpect to help the
best to win.
The item is absurd on its face, and 1
object to being thought capable of such
nonsense. WILLIAM G. WHITNEY.
