THE GREAT COUNT,

Next week Monday the census enumerators
will begin their work. There has been not
little criticism of some of the questions
which are to be asked, and some of them
are very personal. Inquiry will be made of
every person as to whether they are single,
married, widowed, or divorced, and, If
married, whether married during the census
year. The place of birth of each person,
and the place of birth of the father and
mother of each person, will also be called
for, as we'll as a statement as to the profess
number of months unemployed during the
census year. For al! persons ten years of
age or over q return must be made
by the enumerator as to the number
able to read and write, and also
the number who can speak English.
particular language or dialect spoken by
them will be asoertained. For children of
school age, also, the number of months they
attended school will be recorded by the cen-
sus enumerators. In the case of mothers an
inquiry will be made as to the number of
children they have had, and this number of
these children living at the present time.
This inquiry is to be made of all women who
are OF have been married, including all who
are widows OF have been divorced.
Foreign-born males of adult age, that
is, twenty-one years of age or
over, will be asked as to the number of years
they have been in the United States, and
whether they are naturalized or have taken
ont naturalization papers. Of the head of
each family visited the question will be
asked as to the number of persons in the
family, and whether his home is
owned or hired; also. If owned,
whether the home is free from
mortgage incumbrance. If the head of the
family 10 farmer, similar inquiries will
be made concerning the ownership
of the farm. In addition to these
inquiries. all of which are made
on the population schedule, the law under
which the census is taken makes provision
for special inquiries concerning such Of the
population a. may be mentally or physically
defective In any respect, that is, insane,
fesble-minded, deaf, blind, or crippled, or
who may be temporarily disabled by sick
ness, disease, or accident at the time of the

Some of these questions seem rather i'm
pertinent, to put 1t mildly. We suspect that
the answers to them will not be very valu-

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The latest researches show that in Reme's
most Aourishing period tho city had l 800, 900
inhabitants; in 1876 A. D. it had 800, 600; in
1877 only $4,000; under Leo x. 10000; in
1887 about 81, 900; in 1871 It rose to 244, 900,
in 1881 100000, and In 1889 more than
100000.

Chicago Is great place for marriage as
well as divorce. Two mon of Chicago last
week took out licenses to marry the same wo-
man. Neither was sure Of his game, but the
woman actually accepted the man who ar
rived first with the official document, while
the other fellow, who had paid for the bridal
trousseau, got left.
An interesting experiment is being made
In the line of cooperation at Los Angeles,
California. A large sewer contract from the
city has been let to company formed of
fifty laborers who will each work eight hours
day and draw Is cents an hour during the
progress of the work. On completion Of the
contract after expenses are paid the profits
will be equally divided.

AN INTRR RsTING QUESTION.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
The attorney general of Massachusetts,
gave an opinion that an act of the legislature
purporting to give authority to cities and
towns to establish gas or electric light works
for municipal service and the sale of the
products to their citizens, would be uncon.
stitutional. The house of representatives is
net satisfied with this opinion, and has
voted to require the opinions of the justices
of he..Supreme court on the same subject.
It is argued that the attorney generals opin-
ion proves too much, since 1t denies to the
State and to municipalities powers which
they have long exercised without dispute or
doubt of their validity. Such Is the power
of the former to grant and of the latter to
use authority to establish water works and
sell the water to citizens for private use.
Such, also, is the power to establish city hos.
pitfalls and admit patients who are not pau.
pers, but pay nxed price for board and
medical or surgical treatment. These insti-
tutions are clearly within the reasoning of
the attorney generals opinion.
The attorney general assumes that the
power in question does not exist unless he
can find 1t specifically granted. The Wor-
cester Spy forcibly says of his position: His
fundamental error is that the state govern
ment has no authority except that given by
the constitution. The truth is that the
State has all the governmental authority
which is not denied or withheld by Its con-
stitution or that of the United States.
There is radical difference, which the at
torney general seems to have overlooked,
between the constitution of the State and
that of the United States. The former, 80
far as 1t defines the powers Of the State.
does 80 by way of Limitation or restriction;
the latter by grant. The government of
the United States has sach powers as are
given by it's constitution; the State has
lsuoh powers as are not denied by it's consti-
tution,

The Reaatiful Duaf

Oh, the dust, the beautiful dust
Borne en- the wings Of each passing gust,
Dashed in the face like the pitiless hand
OF scora and contumely, the drifting sand;
Lifting, sitting, grinding along;
Beautiful dust, you are going 1t strong.
Dust In the houses and dust on tbs street;
Dust in the eyes Of the people you meet;
Dust in your mouth, In your ears, in your nose;
Dust through your hair, down your back, through
your clothes;
The dirtiest, dingiest, dustiest day
Since Nebuchadnezzar went cut to eat hay.e
Once was good but the terrible dust
Plastered my eyes, and with others cussed;
Onde was meek but the heathensh dirt
Filled all the vacancy under my shirt.
Hang it! Blast It'll Smother the breeze,
Raising sand bank whenever you sneeze
How strange it would be, when the night comes
down,
And spreads Its dark mantle all over the town;
How strange it would be If they'd find me here,
With nothing exposed but one foot and an ear.
Painting, choking, dying alone;
Too dirty for prayer and too lazy to groan-
Prone in the streets SO often have cussed,
With a bed and shroud Of the beautiful dust.
