THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.

| superintendent Porter's New Plan for
| Dividing the States into Census Dis
tricts-Congressiona District Lines Don't
| Go. and Supervisors Will be Chosen on
Recommendation of Prominent Private
Citizens.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Supervisors OF
the census are to be appointed in JAM
uary. The country has been districtcd.
For each district ono supervisor will be
appointed. Each supervisor will have
the selection of from IS to 800 enumera-
tors to do the canvassing in his dis
trict. The census districts do not con-
form to the Congressional districts.
They have been arranged so as to APP
portion the work as fairly as possible.
Had the Congressional lines been al
! lowed the Congressman would proba bly,
have had the naming of the supervisors.
| But in view of the departure from the
| Congressional boundaries, the Super
intendent of the Census has adopted
different plan. It is pro-
posed to appoint the supervisors on the
recommendations of the leadin citizens
of the respective districts. Under this
arrangement the candidate who is best
Endorsed by the leading citizens of his
district will get the appointment. There
is already great pressure for these SUI
| pervisorships. congressman find con-
siderable proportion of their daily mail
| just now consists of letters from candi-
dates and their friends. They would be
| unable to do much if they wanted to,
because they can speak only for their
| tricts. Most of the Congressman APP
prove of Superintendent Porter's plan,
and Will leave the appointments to be
| made on the recommendations of citi-
| Zens.
In view of the superintendent con-
cluslon to act upon the recommendation
of the citizens of the districts, the bound
| aries of these districts will be of con-
siderable interest at this time. The
