For an Honest Count.

The superintendent OF the census, has
issued the following important order:
$40 the Supervisors Of Census:
at has been brought to the atteation
of the superintendent of the census that
the city councils and boards of trade OF
certain Western cities have appropriated
sums of money to aid their census super
visors in the enumeration of the popu
lation. While it may be urged by some
that such a proceeding is legitimate and
merely intended to help the government
to obtain fair and full enumeration, |
am compelled to look upon it as an al
most irresistible temptation to fraud,
and as consequently endangering an
honest count OF the people. If tolerated
by this office it would have "a tendency
to bring the whole census into disIe-
pute.
You are, therefore, positively instruc-
ted not to receive any such compensa
ton Yourself, nor counteiiance for one
instant the payment of any sum ofmon-
ey whatever, by municipalities, corpora
tiOns, associations or persons to enuner-
ators Any supervisor of census who IS
not content with the remuneration al
lowed by law (Which is double the
amount paid in 1850 should at once re-
sign. The eleventh census must and
shall be above suspicion. To tolerate
any action on the part of municipalities
associations. organizations or individu-
ais, no matter how powerful they may
be, which has for its purpose the de
bauciiing, or which would eveii throw
the slightest faint upon the truthfuiness
of the returns, would, in my opinion, be
nothing short of crime against the
people of the United States.
''This whole matter, together with the
facts in possession of this Office. has beer
laid before the Honorable Secretary o
the Interior and the action OF the SUI
perintendent of census in plaeins
every legitimate obstacle at his com
mand in the way of distribution of loca
funds for this purpose meets with tn
Secretaay's approval"

Bad Book-keeping

The result of careless book keeping is
illustrated in the following interesting
statement, which was communicated to
the Philadelphia Press by it's Washing
ton correspondent. 1t shows how an
innocent person may rest under a ciond
for years, and then find relief and Wind
cation by the merest accident:
A most furious incident illustrative of
delay in correcting official mistakes in
the Departments at Washington has just
come to light as a sequence of the bill
placing John G. Fremont upon the re-
tired list of the army with the rank Of
Major General.
The first Republican candidate for the
Presidency is a most picturesque patri-
arch, seventeen years old, and has
been for years in circumstances, if not
of actual poverty, at least Strengthened.
In 1913, when a lieutenant in the army,
he seized and held with an iron grip the
region which is now the State of Cali
fornih, and no one denies that the ma
tioa is indebted to him for that gilded
u.
ed in this service. Lieutenant Fremonts
accounts with the Government were left
in eh a state that he has always been
regarded as an official debtor to the
Government to the amount of 5000;
and it has been one of the chief sorrows
of General Fremont's later years that he
was unable to square this balance
against him, the record of which was in
the office of the Third Auditor of the
Treasury,
The other day General Fremont called
at the office of Second Comptroller Gil
kerson, of the Treasury, whose business
it would be to pass upon the balance
against him. The old man in trembling
tones stated to Col. Gilkerson that his
financial circumstances are such that if
his salary as ~ retired Major General
We're retained. to meet this alleged short
age, he would be for some time in actual
want. At his request the Second Comp
troiler investigated the accounts and
greatly to his surprise discovered that
instead of General Fremont being a
debtor to the United States, the Coy
erament had actually owed him far oyer
forty years ~ ,0ip The records were
perlectlyclear and 1t was proved beyond
dispute that through a mistake in book
keeping. Lieutenant Fremont. had been
charged with $4,000, for which voucher
was on file and that by another clerical
error he had not been credited with s.
youahar for Sai cop, which he had OK
pended under the direction Of the War
Department.
When General Fremont called again
to ask Colonel G(ilkerson whether some
arrangement might not be made to pay
his supposed indebtedness by install
ments, he was SO unprepared for the
glad news awaiting him that he tainted

him was made out, duly approved and

FURRY on Wall Street.

There has been a very feverish condi-
ton of public feeling in financial circles
in New York for the past week or two.
1t eliminated last Saturday in what
may be called panic, when it was an
nounced that Barring Bros, the great
London Banking House, had suspended.
The excitement was intense, and the
stock exchange was in q ferment that
amounted to madness. Men leaped, tore
their hair, ran over people, and gene
rally rushed around as though it was a
yeritable mad house. The announce.
ment, however, was soon made. that
tAe Bank of England had come to the
relief of Barring Bros, with $4,000, 900,
and that the Bank of France had also
extended helping hand. The Earrings
were loaded with the debt of the Argen-
tine Republic, which they were floating,
and it was this that caused them to be
pinched. After the relief afforded by
the Bank of England, the feeling qui.
eted down, both in London and New
York.
1t is believed that the effect of the
shake up will not be serious. or greatly
impIicate the business of the country. 1t
is now more of strife between the bulls
and the bears than anything else, and
matters will level down to q legitimate
and solid basis.
