The Census scandal.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The census
mess in New York City is likely to
cause investigation. The people Of tho
metropolis are up in arms, aud de-
mand of Porter, Secretary Noble and
President Harrison that Justice be
done. at makes my blood boil with
indignation" says Gov. Hill, "when !
think of New York, the greatest aud
most magnificent city in the land, being
bound hand aud foot and delivered
over to every little Republican tyrant
that wants to vent his petty spite upon
it."
The New York Herald prints this
morning kilograms from seventy-nine
members of Congress, in response to
the following question: GAS the Fed
eral census of New York City proves
TO be 1917, ,2O4 below the correct police
census, will you vote for a special
act of Congress substituting the cor
rect for the incorrect count, or will you
vote for o Federal re-countT Sixty
four say they favor an honest count
and fifteen are non-commital, all OF the
latter being Republicans.
Present indications are that the coun-
try is on the eve of the biggest nation
al scandal known in the history of tho
country. The National Democrat
makes open charges of frand, and
claims that the census Office has been
debased that Porter farmed the fat
offices and confidently asserts that Por-
ter was not called away TO Europe by
sudden illness Us published. When
Porter reaches this country there is
TO be an explosion.

against such competition i? had
other TO remain in business there,
and thereby lose all had made, or
sell at good price and leave. This
process is going on at all the ports in
China. White men employed and
taught the Chinese, and the Chinese
drove them out. We could no more
compete with them than we could
overcome death aud fate.'
This is the one unvarying story
everywhere. Let white men, in CON-
petition with Chinese mark down
wages and profits as they may, extend
the hours of labor or reduce the food
standard as they may, the Chinese,
without seeming effort or privation,
can at once get below them and work
them out.

Two gentlemen were looking at a

typical French corn field, In which
poppies shone out here and there

Washington, Oct. 20.-The general
Congressional elections which will be
held In November next will be the first
FOR nearly 25 years for which the ad.
mlnistratiOn did not issue instructions
to regulate the employment of special
deputy United States marshals and
supervisors Of elections. II has been
the custom heretofore for the attorney
general to issue circular on this sub
Jeet. Its contents were almost invari-
ably of q eautionary or restrictive
character. A free people do not like
TO have the power of central govern
ment thrust too prominently upon
their attention when they go to the
polls to exercise their inherent fran
chise. To that sentiment the caution
airy or restrictive circular has been
due But there viii be nothing of the
kind this year. The administration
Will allow special deputy narshals
and supervisors of election full swing.
When MIR. Deyens was attorney
general, and he was a Republican, he
limited the employment of deputy
marshals and supervisors of elections
in Congressional elections to fivadays,
and suggested that the number of the
former be no more than absolutely
necessary. When Mr.. brewster, also
q Republican, was Encouragement
similar Instructions were issued by
him. When Mr.. Garland, a Demo-
crat, was attorney-general, it was the
same way.
Not SO now, United States marshals
will be allowed TO employ as many
special deputies as they please for ten
days, including the day Of election.
The chief supervisors appointed by
United States circuit judges will be
allowed to employ subordinate super
yisors for the same period of time,
two for each place of registration and
two for each polling place on cleo
tion day. The bill to pay these people
will be an enormous one, for, Of course,
Republican officials who arc clothed
with jurisdiction In the matter will
put as many on the payroll as possl-
BILE, with the understanding that they
are to do their best for the candidates
of their party.
All Of which furnishes conclusive
proof, ifsuch were needed, that the
administration Is heart and soul with
the Republican party managers in
their determination TO pass, IL possible
force bill, and endeayor thereby to
overawo voters by show of Federal
authority at the polls.

post which he thought he could no
longer successfully defend.
"Hlis intention is evidently benef-

nation he has made a concession to
the enemy alike destitute of Justice
aud generosity. One who will receive
faYor without gratitude and will meet

lie has made peace with the lion by
allowing himselfto be swallowed. He
has forgotten that while Mississippi is
great, the United States is greater !:
that the nation is more than the State.
and the State must at last surrender to
the nation. His position is deplorable,
and Will eventually fill his soul with
bitter reflections. His address is a
positive disaster to the race. No
thoughtless, flppant fool could have
inflicted such wound upon our cause
as Mr.. Montgomery has done in this
address. His intelligence, which
should have been a sword of defense,
has become weapon Of destruction in
the hands of our enemies. He has
surrendered the rights of l2S,000 of
his fellow-citizens, and he has support
ed measure which, il carried out ac-
cording to its terms, will nullify tho
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
of the Constitution of the United
States.
@Liko many other men he has allow.
cd himself to be fooled by the lying
pretense and the subterfuge that there
is a great and appalling ''race problem
to be solved, aud that there is some-
thing in the color and race ofthe negro
WHICH makes it difficult of solution.
The real problem Is not the negro,
but the nation. 1t is not whether the
negro can govern himself, but whether
the nation can and will conform its
life and CONDUCT to othe spirit of lib
erty and to the requirements of its
own Constitution; whether its decla-
ration Of independence is to be regard
ed as a self-eyident lie; whether the
Constitution Of the United States Is to
be obeyed and honored or to be stamp
ed in the dust as fraud. tits wheth-
or this Republic shall be a republic in
fact or stupendous sham. Such to me
is the real problem. This talk about
problems seems to me to be a cunning
desire to darken counsel, to promote
prejudice and bigotry. When ship
loaded with passengers from the Old
World arrives at our ports an outory
is made about the problem ofassimila-
ton; when a Catholic Church Is built,
barrow Protestants scream themselves
hoarse about the Catholic problem.
Then there is the lnhdel problem. ln
fact, there is no end to problems when
after all the solution of the real prob
lem is, so far as the Government oftho
United States is concerned, to see that
each and all the descriptions of per-
sons and sects under the broad wings
of the American eagle shall be pro-
tected in every right, privilege and
immunity guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton of the United States."

THAT APPORTIONMENT.

In letter to the Appeal Col. j. Ii.
Jones, of Wilkinson, and delegate at
large, thus disposes of bugaboo:
"The apportionmentplan is vigorous
ly denounced as an courageous gerry
mander,n and 4because It puts the
black counties at the mercy of the
whites" The answer to both Is simple
They are not true.
1t is very like the discussion among
the philosophers, kept up for century
or so, as to "how far ball dropped
from the head of the mast Of q moving
ship would fall in the rear of the foot"
One day a sailor tried 1t, and tho ball
did not fall behind at all just so with
these changes. The apportionment
made by tho. committee IS nearly
identical with the one now In force, as
a few figures will show.
Under the existing apportionment,
counties having white majorities, ac-
cordlng to the State census of 1880
now have forty-four Repl esentatlves
while tho black counties have seventy
six Representatives, a majority in favor
of tho black counties of thirty-two.
Under the committees apportlon-
meut the same counties then classed as
white have flfty-two members, and the
same counties then classed as black
have eighty-one, majority Of twenty
nine members--a loss of only three
Representatives.
The senate is increased five men,
bers. OF these the white districts get
two and one-third and the black dis
tricts two and two-thirds, gain Of
one-thrd to the black districts.
1t Is thus plain that the charge that
the black counties have been sacrificed
in the apportionmcnt is just nonsense,
and If II Is an courageous gorrymaE-
der we have been living happily and
unconsciously under like one since

A crumb will feed a liule bird.
A thought will prevent an angry word.
A seed bring forth full many a iower,

A little cloud the sun will hide,
A dwarf may prove a giants guide,
A barrow plank safe bridge form,

A step begins the journey long,
A weak head on outwits the strong,
A gulf detles the angry sea,
A word will set captive free.
A hornet soads the mighty beast,
A cry Of ''ire" breaks up feast,
glass shows wonders in the skies,
A little child eonfoands the w.t.

A beacon light saves many life,
A slight will often kindle strife
A pun Of smoke betays the fame.

A message shall bring JOY or woe.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 22.-Rev. John
Jasper returned homo Saturday after
an absence oftwo months For some
months past the parson has not been
well, and in order to improve his con-
dition his congregation granted him a
vacation. This time, or the most of ii,
the colored divine spent in the neigh
borhood of Beaver Dam, Hanover
county. Sunday the parson occupied
his pulpit for the first time since he
left on his summer outing. Jasper's
congregation was fairly large but did
not begin to compare with the crowd
that in time past have listened to his
famous sun sermon.
II seems that for some time past, In
Imitation of some of their white sisters
IN the North and West, the colored
women here have taken to public OK

funeral ceremonies. This Parson Jas

he said; at never was ordained for
women to preach. God gave man the
law TO govern the world and woman
is only his helpmate. If a woman was
ordained of God to preach she would
have TO take the same fare that man
would--that is, she would have to be
travelling evangelist; she would have
to 90 and preach and organize churches
aud be exposed In her travelling In the
night air and in the mountain regions
and in the valleys of the mountains,
and on the islands of the sea, wherever
Providence would cast her lot she
would have TO go, the same as man
would, and she would have to be quail
flied by law to celebrate marriages,
and she could not do that, and she
would have to If she was preacher
and was called to take care of church.
She would have to sit in the chair and
hear all those cases which 1t would not
be proper for woman to hear, If she
was called to the pastorate of church.

The Next Congress.
Commonwealth


The New York Herald has lengthy
review of the Congressional outlook.
The three great issues are protection,
Capitalization aud the force bill, the
Democrats having the negative and the
Republicans the affirmative of these
three several propositions. The Herald
concludes
To sum up, the Republicans cannot
hope TO secure more than fourteen
members in the South, sixty-four in
the East, and seveuty-nine in the West,
and to secure this representation they
are accorded nearly every doubtful
district. The representation will then
stand nearly as follows:
