Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-06-10

PROMINENT lawyers in New York
have been interviewed as to the right of
the government to ask those offensive
questions in the census enumerator's
catechism. George Tlcknor Curtis
thinks that if the citizen were arrested
for refusing to answer he would have
ground of action for false imprisonment,
This, l have no doubt, will be the action
of a majority of the citizens. l don't
gle prosecution in case of refusal. y
William B. Hornblower says the ques.
tions smack of the bureaucratic gov
ernments of Russia and France. Fred
erick r. Courdert thinks the government
has right to ask about mans pro
perty, mortgages, etc, but that it Twill
exceed its authority if it should ask q
man to disclose his own physical condi
ton or that of his wife and children
David Dudley Field says the information
asked for is ridiculous and none of the
governments business. He will not
answer the questions, and arrest for re
fusal would be illegal. Judge William
q. Choate takes similar view. Com
missioner Porter, on the other hand
says the questions are such as are asked
in Europeon censuses, and have been
asked in this country since the fifth cen
sus. If anyone refuses to answer, thu
enumerator Will simply note the fact o
such refusal. The census bureau viii

THE position of president of the United
States, after all, is not without its con-
solutions as, for instance, in this in
tensely hot and sultry summer weather.
While so many hundreds of thousands
of our citizens-cooped up in sun-baked
city streets from which they cannot get
away-are sweltering in the torrid heat,
we learn that President Harrison is
using the United States steamer
Despatch as a family pleasure yacht,
thereby having a good time, and saving
his personal expenses. History does not
record that Washington or the fathers of
the republic INDUCED in junketings at
the expense Of the nation but the 6. O.
p. and its representatives have ''im-
proved" all that out of sight.

Corr TANNER is in clover. He tells a
New York Herald reporter that he ex-
poets to make about 500, 900 this year
from his business as pension attorney,
and that he hopes to double that amount
next year, if proper pension legislation
is secured from congress. Corp Tanner
now regrets that he didn't enter the pen
sion attorney field twenty years ago and
amass a fortune. He doesn't appear to
have been everlastingly too late now,
however. A cool hundred thousand a
year is very tidy income, especially rs
it all comes out of the pockets Of the
soldiers whom he loves so we'll

THE ARID LAND CHA USE.
Senator Teller Says Mineral Lands Arc
Not Included.

WAsnINGToN, Sept. II l.-Several OF the
division chiefs and law clerks Of the gen
eral land office said yesterday that in
their opinion the section of the sundry
civil bill approved August 80, limiting the
amount of land which could be acquired
by one person to 800 acres should be
construed to include mineral lands. 1t
has been argued by some of the officials
that the words OF the act "enter up" can
not apply to mineral lands because set
tier is not required to enter upon, that is,
establish his residence upon the land.
While this is true the same may be said
OF desert land and timber culture land.
Only upon pre-emptions and homesteads
is actual residence required.
Senator Teller, who took part in the de-
liberations of the conference committee
on this clause of the bill, said that it was
not the intention of Congress to deal with
the mineral lands at all. They were,
both senators and representatives under
stood, wholly exempted from the opera
atoms OF this legislation by which hold
ings are limited to 800 acres.

of checking tbs growth OF potatoes in a

was not matured, and the wheat crop Of
the valley can be with certainty pro-

it. There are not per cent Of the
farmers of the valley but have raised a
paying crop, and the great majority have
done better than the average.
