THE NEXT CENSUS.
1t is Not Likely to Shift the Balance of
Political Power so Much as Expected
Philadelphia Record.


Political Power so Much as Expected.
Philadelphia Record.
Before another election for the presi-
dency new superintendent for members
of the house. of representatives will have
been made on the basis of the census of
1890; and this apportionment will also
determine the numerical constitution of
the electoral college. According to the
computation of E. B. Elliott, actu-
airy of the treasury department, the
population of the United States in 1890
will be CT ,476 900. If Dakota, Wash
ington and Montana territories should be
admitted at the present or the next SEES
sion of congress nearly the whole of this
population would be entitled to represen-
tation in congress and i'll the electoral
college in 1892. The outlying population
in the District of Columbia and the ter
ritories would then scarcely amount to a
million of men. g7e
The present ratio for representative
in congress is $50 900 inhabitants
Should the present membership of 325 be
retained by the house of representatives
it would be necessary to increase this
ratio TO about 100 900 inhabitants for a
representative. By admitting Dakota
Gas two states), Washington and Mon
tana territories the electoral votes would
be increased from 40I to Alb, making POI
necessary for choice of president
Under the new census there is not likely
to be a great shifting of the balance of
political power, notwithstanding the
eager predictions of the New York
Tribune and some other party organs.
The small vote in the recent elections for
congress in many of the Southern dis
triats, where there was no serious con-
test, affords no accurate means of esti-
mating population, and 1t will be
necessary to wait for the actual
census returns before the relative gains
and losses in a new apportionment
can be ascertained. Texas, Missouri,
Arkansas, Tennessee and Alabama have
made such large gains in population since
1880 that the political strength. of the
South in congress and the electoral col
lege will hardly undergo any loss. Of
the six or seven representatives to be dis
tributed to the new states, Maine and
Vermont would probably contribute one
each should no change be made in the
numerical size of the house. Where the
other losses are to fall the census returns
only will show.
1t is evident that the next struggle of
the Democrats and Republicans for po-
litical power will be fought over much
the same lines as those drawn in the bat
tie of 1888. While majorities in this
country are very uncertain quantities, it
may be safely predicted that New York,
Indiana, New Jersey and Connect
cut will again be the battle-ground of the
presidential election and viii again de-
eide the contest. OF course, it may be
in the power of a majority in congress to
so manipulate the apportionment as to
secure slight party advantage in the
electoral college of 1892; but the party
majority in the next house promises to be
so small that the opportunities for the
success of this sort of political adventure
viii be extremely precarious.

CHICAGO JOURNALISTS ARRESTED.
The Proprietor and City Editor of the Chicago
Times Charged With Criminal Libel.

The Proprietor and City Editor of the Chicago
Times Charged With Criminal Libel.
CHICAGO, Ill. Jan. 4.-Late this af-
tcrnoon warrants were sworn out by Po-
lice Inspector Bonfield for the arrest of
] J. West, proprietor, and Joe Dunlap,
city editor of the Times, charging them
with criminal libel for the publication
this morning of an interview with the
wife of Detective Loenstein, in which she
charged her husband with acting as
''fence' for thieves, and alleging that
Police Captain Setback was cogniZant of
the fact Mr.. Dunlap has just been ar
rested in his room in the Times building,
and he has been taken TO the Harrison
street station.
On arriving at the station Mr.. Dunlap
was thrown into cell and treated other
wise with exceedingly scant courtesy.
The space behind the bars in which Mr..
Dunlap was confined is narrow, dark and
uoisome, one of the pens which held an
assortment of criminals from some of the
wosrt quarters in the city. At O'Clock
Mr.. Dunlap was still literally in durance
vile, The police had not yet laid hands
OH Mr.. West.
Mr.. Dunlap remained in the cell until
8 O'Clock when he was released on bail
At about the same time Mr.. West who
had heard of the issuance of the warrant
appeared at the Harrison street station
with his bondsmen. The warrant of ar
rest was at the Central station and some
delay was caused by the necessity of
sending for it.
No sooner had Dunlap and West been
released than they were again placed un-
der arrest. The charge was the same,
but in this case the complainant was
Captain Setback. Bonds were promptly
furnished on the second charge, and the
two editors were allowed to leave
the station. Mr.. Dunlap, when taken
into custody was not allowed to tarry
even a moment to put the affairs of his
department in the hands of subordinates.
At the police station the desk seSgeants
were intimating he make himself COM
Portable in the Office while awaiting
bondsmen when instructions came direct
from the police headquarters to put the
prisoner behind the bars instanter. The
order was given by Inspector Bonfeld in
person,

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. Jan. "A fight

men, and asking if Cardiff
would agree to meet Jackson in
the ring. On behalf of his
friend and business partner Donaldson
said: ''Cardif viii certainly fight if the

SPREADING EASTWARD.
White Caps Have Invaded New Jersey, and
Are Vigorously Pursuing Their
Reform Methods.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

PHILADELPHIA, PENN, Jan. 1.-THE
Brotherhood of White Caps is doing its
work in New Jersey. The organization
has been heard from in several places
the most recent account of its doings
coming from Woodbury.. A well-known
man about town in that place, who is
gwen to practical joking, received warn
ing to change his ways or leave town
He viewed the notice in the light
of a joke. Another man who it is
said had not done stroke of work for
three years, receiving notice that he must
find work at once or we II ride you on a
rail out OF town. He obtained work by
Monday last.
AT BFidgeton, the mysterious Brother
hood is pursuing its work with vigor, and
it is in that city that the first punishment
is attributed to them 1t has come to
light that young woman was attacked
on the street early Sunday morning and
severely beaten She was shockingly
bruised about the face, but says she
could not recognize her assailants or as
sailant. Six more letters have been re-
ceived by citizens.
The 90 Brotherhood is at work at.Al-
bany Park also. Several well known per-
sons have received warnings to change
their ways of living or suffer the conse-
quenees. One man was designated a
drunken loafer under the influence of
liquor three quarters of the time, - and
was told that unless he freed the town of
his presence within three days the writers
would tar and feather him and throw
his worthless carcass into the ocean.

Time Wasted in spelling.

Professor F. a. March IN the Forum.
DR.. Gladstone has made elaborate in
vestigatiens in the schools of England
and other countries to ascertain the time
devoted to teaching spelling. He finds
that 720 hours at least are lost to each
scholar: that an Italian child of nine
years will read and spell as correctly as
English children at thirteen, though the
Italian begins his lessons two years later.
1t is about the same with the Germans
and Swedes. This extra time is given TO
ciyics and useful sciences. The illiteraey of
English-speaking nations is startling.
There were ,656, IA persons of ten
years and over who reported themselves
illiterate at our census of 1870, ,239 ,95S
at the census of 1880. The nearly iIlite-
rate are nearly as many more. England
is worse off than we are. But the other
Protestant countries of Europe have al
most none. One of the causes of this ex-
eessive illiteraey among English-speak-
ing peoples is the badness of English
spelling, The reform spelling lis q pa
triotic and philanthropic reform.

Der responded and were put to work. Two
or three hundred strikers thereupon
proceeded to Dust the new men, but
the police blocked the way. A rush was
made by the strikers, but when two or
three men had been knocked over by po-
licemens clubs the crowd backed off. An
unsuccessful attempt at compromise was
one of the occurrences of the day. The
men said they would accept the reduced
pay if they could be sure of getting it at
the time, but claim work is not provided
aud that often they can only make 80 or
80 cents per day.

A DESPERATE BREAK.
A Gang OF Insane People Try to Escape From
Confinement

AUBURN, N. Y, Jan. 4.-To-night
FIVE inmates of the criminal insane asy-

freedom. One attendant had been left
in charge of the hall where forty-feur
prisoners were. AT a favorable opportu-
nifty, five men sprang upon him, and in
their eagerness to secure his keys tore the
clothes from his body. With the keys
the gang opened door leading into the
ward. Here they encountered another
attendant, and a hand to hand battle
took place. The officer broke his musket
in pieces over their bodies. The insane
men triumphed, but gained the open air
only to be met by third attendant who
fred into the gang, disabling one of
them. This shot alarmed the other
keepers, who, after desperate fight,
secured the mad men and returned them
to their cells.
