Frauds in Census Of Both, With Minnesp-
oils Most Flagrant
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Tne secretary of
the interior to day ordered recount of the
cities Of st. Paul and Minneapolis. Prior
to issuing this order the secretary had re-
ceived from Superintendent of Census Por-
ter letter detailing the trouble regarding
the count of the twin cities and the investi-
cation made by his bureau. In it he says
in part: The evidence before me may be
summarized as follows: In all probability
there existed in Minneapolis widespread
organized conspiracy for initiating the CEN
sus Of that city. This conspiracy was only
discovery. To what extent, however, the
schedules are fraudulent can be at present
only q matter of conjecture. These fraudu-
lent returns took all matter of forms. The
schedule of families had been swollen to
enormous size by the addition of children
and boarders. houses had been listed far
beyond their limits by the addition of fam
ilies and houses with their contents had
been inserted by the hundred. In addition
to these palpable frauds, transients and
mealers had been enumerated ut hotels and
boarding houses, and employees had been
enumerated at their shops as we'll as at
their houses in large numbers. In st. Paul
| there has been discovered no evidence of
organized conspiracy, but number of
cases of illegal addition to schedules were
found. These additions are similar in
character to those discovered in Hinneapo-
lis, but are not by any means as widespread
or extensive. In view Of this condition of
things it seems impossible to be assured Of
the census of these two cities without max
ing a recount throughout" SuHerintend-
ent Porter says no proofs whatever have
been presented that the supervisors in St.
Paul or Minneapolis were parties to the
frauds. James II. Wardle, assistant chief
| clerk of the census bureau, will have charge
of the work at St. Paul and ]. w. Kruse,
special agent, at Minneapolis.

The Venerable Camden Member Nash--es
His Teeth in Public.
Special to the Jersey City Neses.
TRENTON. March "a, 1s9o.-Father Nash
was in a great state of mind this evening
when he arose to a question of privilege
and had the clerk read an article from
the Trenton Times. in which old Heb (by
request) pitches into the granger member
from Camden without rhyme or reason.
The article accused Mr.. Nash of being
the cause of the committees failure to
report h West Jersey game repeater,
and accused him of having broken
his ante election promises. There
were i~nsinuations concerning the veneer
able legislators course on the race course
bill and other measures. together with a
direct threat that Mr.. Nash would be re-
legated to private life when his present
term was over, by a r~ighteouSly ind1g-
nant constituency. The old gentleman
was yisably affected by causes other thar
his outraged feelings and for some time
kept the House and galleries in an up
roar with his vigorous and picturesque
oratory.
He denounced the statements as a
falsehood in conception and birth, and O.
lie was willing. he said, to run the risk
Of reelection, as his motives were sincere
and honest.
He had a great deal to say about
s~'crockadelian tears and the 'Gortian
knot of his democracy" which was tiled
by union and constancy," and which mo
power on earth could unite" He further
denounced the calumny against him with
all the ardor Of his ''loathing soul.''

War and Vans.

War is frightful thing under MI
circumstances. and some of the most
dreadful wars have been waged on
the most fiimsy and foolish pretexts,
even if they had pretext at all; but
probably no stranger reason for war
or peace was ever recorded than has
been noted by French governor of
the South Pacific colony of New Gale
donia.
This governor who was also an adj
miral OF the navy, assumed his au-
thority while the natives of New Cal
edonia were still cannibals. There
had been rumors of an instruction,
and the admiral called before him a
native chief who was faithful to the
French cause, and questioned him as
to their truth.
"You may bel sure, said the M tive,
'that there will be no war at pres
ent, because the yams are far from
being ripe"
"The vans, you say?"
"Yes. Our people never make war
except when the yams are ripe"
"Why is that?"
Because baked yams go SO very
well with the captives!" -Youth's

Senator Palmer's Contribu-
tIOn

There is a good story told about
Senator Palmer when he was living
in Washington. 1t was his custom
to go to church every Sunday morn
ing, and also his custom to put
single dollar on the plate. AS he
passed into church one Sunday morn
inng. accompanied by his private Sec
rotary, he began to search through
his pockets with dismayed look on
his face. Turning to his companion
he asked for the loan OF a dollar, ex.
planning that he had nothing but q
- bill. The secretary could not ac-
commodnte the senator, but II bright
thought suddenly seemed to strike
the latter ami he exclaimed:
''Oh, well, | can fix it,
You wouldn't make change of
the plate. would YOU" asked the Sec
rotary, Mortified at thu thought.
Never mind how will do it," re-
piled the senator; you will see it
DONE
When the plate came around the
senator gravely took out his - bill,
tore it in two pieces in the middle,
and laid one piece on the plate. Alter
the services were over he walked for
ward to where the stewards were
counting the collection money. and
asked the one who had come down
his aisle if mutilated - bill had
been found ON the plate.
Yes, and we don't know what to
do with it," was the mans reply.
"Well," snid the senator, "here's
the other half, and you can have it

worth 81 to you, and 81 is all ever

Confronted by a Memory,

Apropos oflhe movement to furnish
books to prisoners in Auburn jail, a
Norwegian lady residing in Auburn
told in her picturesque way an ep-
isode which occurred in Charleston,
S. c. Years ago a mother took her
5-yearolt boy into prison when she
went to see his father, committed for
some trifiing offence. The little tel
low stepped into the adjacent cell,
having over it the number 60. To
tease him the warden shut the door,
but quickly opened it at the little fel-
lows screams. His mother soOthed
him, saying: Nobody shan't ever
shut my little boy in n dark cell. "
Years passed. The boys father and
mother died. His uncle helped him
and gave him money to get to New
York. He fell in with bad company,
squandered his money, and in sheer
desperation attempted to commit
burglary in his uncle's house.
That relative was so enrnged he
handed over his nephew to the author
tiles. Looking at the number of his
cell, to his horror he saw "6S," and
knew that it was the selfsnme cell
that had inspired his hoyish terror,
Then his mothers words came back
Nobody shnn't ever shut my little
boy in a dark cell" and he wept as
he had not since her death, for he had
loved that mother The warden
wife found him in a melted condition
He told her his story, and she gave
him the utmost sympathy and kind
ness during his long term, shortened
by his good behavior As he left the
cell and took last look Mt those ter
rible numbers "6S" he determined hi
would make IL man of whom his
mother should lie proud. BY his
trade, learned in prison, he pursued
m honest and lucrative business, anG
his taste for literature, also formed
by the warden, provided for leisure
hours. Ten years aiterward he callet
on the warden's wife. and she could
hardly believe thatit was he who hnC
occupied "6S. Lewiston Journal.
