AwoRrHLFss CENSUS.

The census enumeratOrS are meeting Win
remarkable success, in viewoi the reOelllon
the Democratic press attempted 10 cIe1.e;
'rhas,a nartisan editors have only succeeded
in making themselves ridiculous.-lnteui-
Ceneer.
Our neighbor is much mistaken. The
only persons who are making themselves
ridiculous are the officials Of the Census
Bnrcau who are trying 10 collect sta
tlstics regarding the physical aud men
tal condition and the private indebted
ness Of the people by going about anu
asking. In most cases, the lady OF the
bouse.~ about them. In most cases
what she doesn't know her husband
would not tell. or would not tell truth
fully. OF what earthly value will such
statistics be-? The census might juStaS
well have included the question; Are
Won of good moral character, and doyou
expect to 90 to Heaven" 1t would col
lect Just as reliable statistics on this
point as ON the Others.
The statistics so gathered will be
worse than useless, because they VIII
totally misrcpresent the truth and mis-
lead the scientist or statesman who may
base a calculation ON them.
We have vet to see the Democratic
newspapcr that has tried to create re-
belion. The Democratic and indie
pendent press simply protested against
the outrage upon the private rights OF
the citizens involved in the asking OF
certain questions under penalty for
refusal TO answer, and pointed out the
absurdity Of the attempt to gather any
thing like reliable statistics on these
points.
The InicUD0pccr says 1.-The census
enumerators are meeting with remarka'
BILE success" This is certainly most
remarkable statement. based, We sup
pose. upon the fact that few reports OF
census cnumeratorS being mobbed have
come i'm. But what sort Of statistics
ar, the enumcrators gathering in regard
TO disease and private Indebtedness:
The success Of census depends upon
its accuracy. This census, ON the OBJ
tionable points named will be totally
inaccurate, fact which the mtciligel-
Ger is well aware Of, for in its own case,
it knows perfectly well that much as il
desires the success Of the census, it will
never yield up TO the enumerator the
fact that il is mentally deficient and
afflicted with political StrabiSmuS.

ArnnIIsH FACTLrY.

The faculty OF Hope College, Holland
Mich. have got themselves in whole
bushel of trouble.
IL seems that the rules Of the col
lege forbade the students taking girls
out riding. One OF the senior class re-
Gently overstepped this rule and took
his best girl buggy-riding. For this Of
Tense he was promptly expelled. This
action Of the faculty swelled the hearts
Of the Seniors with Indignation. They
evidently an had best girls, for they are
all ia open rebellion and refuse 90 par
tiripatc I'm the commencement exercises
unless the expelled senior is rciu>tated.
The students have the whip-handIe.
The faculty are graveled. They have
besought the expelled Senior 10 return
and assured him that all will De for
given and forgotten, but he oodurateiy
refuses 10 return. His unalienable
right 10 take his girl out riding and TO
drive onc-handed has been questioned
and nothing can appease his iudigna-
tiou at the outrage.
The embarrassment" remarks an
exchange, lis painful The baccalau-
reate sermon can be preached and de-
grees conferred, but the eloquence OF
the Seniors is missing and the multi
tudeS who expected % learn ripe wis
dom concerning The Well-SpringS OF
Existence. The Reformation of Ma
tional Character" The True Aim Of
Life. The Ideal and the Real, and
AN the rest OF il, by a sojourn at Hope
College, are doomed 10 disappointment.
The Faculty have sadly sinncd, and
sadly DO they repent them of their rash
ness in interfering with the unalienable
right Of the American youth 10 take his
Il. e.. out riding"

CONDITION. NOT \ THEORY.
An Alarming Confront Before the Farm
ers of the Country.


Nothing more alarming cOnfronts the
people Of PENNSYLVANIA, and for that mat
Ter the whole United States, than the seri-
Gus condition Of the farmer. To those who
live in rural communities this is very ap-
parent. while those who live in populous
manufacturing centres, though not perhaps
cOgmzant of the fact, because OF their Tor
tunate surroundings. yet they cannot fan 10
notice the depressed condition Of theirrural
fellOwmen.
The horny-handed, honest, persevering
tiller Of the soil is slow 10 make complaint.
He does not seek the comforts Of palaces
nor the Injuries of kings. His ambition is
humble. From the dawn Of day TO its close
he struggles among his acres. drawing from
them by his industry the very elements OF
our life and the staple commodities OF our
cOuntry's commerce.
But the heel Of oppression has ground
him 10 the dust His boys are leaving
home 10 seek their bread in other branches
of Industry. His girls and helpmate toll AT
the sewing machine until life becomes a
burden. His broad acres, where once
grew rich, luxurious crops, are covered
with weeds and year after year the mort
gaees on his place increase while the value
decreases, and the Assessor, closely fol
lowed up by the taXgatherer, each year
adding u little TO their demands.
The railroads discriminate against him
I in the hauling they do for him; the pixies
demand toll for his horses; the township
assesses him with heavy tax for badly
made roads and inefficient schools; the
county taxes him for expensive Court
trials. magnificent county buildings and
political Jobs: the man who loans him
money taxes him for the interest. and IN
addition thereto the State has taxed the
money thus loaned: the Government taxes
him with every cent of tariff imposed upon
the goods and implements he uses, and
| from every direction he is made the target
Of taxation.
I This has continued until, notwthstand-
| inc all his power of endurance and perse-
verence. he now sends up his modest but
nevertheless determined protestation. He
has seen his home 70 down in ruins before
him. All the results Of many years toll
have been taken by the taX-gatherer, and
all that is left is prospect full Of the ut
most misery
Let his voice be heard The time ha.
surely come when all other subjects are but
secondary 20 the pressing needs of The
I farmer.

Our Grand Old State.

A few years ago, the State of Mis-
souri, was a wilderness and inhabited
by the Red men of the forests. To-
day, it is the garden of the world,
1edolent with the fragrance of the
orchard and vintage, teeming with
the homes of thrifty people, pulsing
with the vim and vigor of progress,
and yellow with the bloom of an al
most perennial harvest. 1t is slice
from the juciest side Of the earth
and is becoming more valuable every
year. Last year, this grand old
state sent to the East, from her over
flown storehouses, golden stream
of grain filled hundreds of their
empty trains with the choicest Of
herds and fiocks, and, standing on
the threshold of this years bounty,
she sends greeting and welcome to
half million of their sons, who
would try their fortunes in her
bounds. But Missouri is as yet IN
her infancy; what she will be in fifty
years hence, is beyond the compre-
hension of the people now living.
Her vast deposits cf coal and iron,
her great resources of mineral wealth
and her rich and productive soil are
just beginning to be developed and
cultivated. The next decade will
show greater improvements than
since she was first admitted into the
Union as a state, and she will be
recognized as the garden spot of
America.
A class of people are now head
ing toward Missouri who will devel-
op her resources, and we bid them
welcome.-Er.

NUMBER 27.

Pile: and as q sign of 1t they sent a
Democratic majority to congress IN
1886.
And now the HARRISON administra
ton is approaching the popular test
of an election in the second year of
its existence. When the Grant, Hayes
and Arthur administrations could
not withstand this test, what is the
prospect of a party loaded down
with the Mckinley tariff bill, the bo
nanza silver bill, and the threatened
deficit in the treasury? The Daven-
port-Lodge force bill is in itself a
confession that the Republican lead
ers dread to face the American peo-
pie in the November elections unless
they can play their game of politics
with loaded dice. In the popular
storm that is gathering, history
promises to repeat itself in such a
way as to startle the partisans who
have wantonly trIf1ed with the dear
est interests of the country.-PhiLa
