THE IMPEACHMENT OF PORTER

Every criticism on the census work in
democratic newspapers is at once set
down by administration organs as eman-
ating from partisan bias. Thus the New
York Tribune, which at first joined with,
the other journals OF that city in con-
demning tho work of enumeration in
the metropolis, when it saw that there
was partisan method in Porter's short
figures. turned about and defended him.
So it has been with republican organs
here and elsewhere. They defend the
indefensible. But Mr.. Porter's work
will be subjected to rigid analysis just
the same, and statistical experts are
reaching one conclusion in regard to it.
A writer in Bradstreet's, q non-partisan
financial and statistical journal of the
highest standing, comments sharply on
Mr.. Porter's advance bulletins. 1t says:
ION the basis Of Mr.. Porter's figures the
decade Of the civil war was more favor
able to the progress Of population than
the decade just closed, when the natural
rate Of increase was only IA per cent. A
like comparison with the decade proceed
ing the civil war shows . still greater

HIS SHOP OPEN.

Burnett Was Doing Business at His Place
Yesterday.
Burnett had his barber shop open yester-
day forenoon, but was alone. He attended
to all the customers he could, but Was not
able to serve all who came. In about two
weeks he expects to have full force of
BARRIERS from the east, having already made
arrangements for that purpose. In speak
ing about the Sunday closing of barber
shops he said that good many people ar
rive in the city in the evening who are pre-
vented for various reasons from having
their wants attended to. This class. Mr..
Burnett says, are thus obliged to wait until
Monday before they can get into shop.
Then there are quite number in the city
who find it more convenient to go to bar
Der on Sunday morning. These people MIR.

date. II do not ask that my men shall
work on Sunday, but do claim the right

A LOFTY OBSERVATORY.

Located Near The Summit Of Mont Blanc
the Monarch of Mountains.
If NJ. Eiffel has erected monument 1884
feet high, countryman of his, NJ. Joseph
Vollot, can claim the honor of having raised
the London Daily Telegraph. This lofty
lookout is situated on the Rocher des Bosses,
near the summit of Mont Blanc, the mon
arch of European mountains" According
to some M. Vallot's eyrie is only 1872 feet,
or 400 meters, below the summit of Mont
Blanc. which the Italian engineers declare
to be 1871 feet high. Others aver that
the observatory is only $40 meters
from the sumhitss Of the celebrated
mountain Of the GRAHAM Alps. BY the side
of this structure is wooden hut, which is
intended as refuge for mountain climbers
who have been belated or foiled in their
attempts to follow in the footsteps of Long
fellows interesting. but silly. young man
whose motto was EXCELSIOR The refuge
and observatory are to DO inauRurated. OF
Vallot, who intend to give what has been
termed q garden party" but ought, per-
haps, with greater Justice to be regarded as

beneficiol, as it harbored the six officers
and an equal number Of soldiers ofthe Ital-
ian army who lately assembled Mont
Blanc. and would have probably persisted
in violent snowstorm had not one of their
guides taken them to this convenient cover.
NJ. Vallot, who is member of the French
Alpine club, has erected this establishment
at his own expense, and with the greatest
difficulty. The observatory and refuge
were put together piece by piece at Cha
mounix, and, after having been carried by
the mules to the Grands- Mulets, were con-
veyed by workmen and guides to the Rocher
des Bosses. The work was begun on June
Is and was completed on July 81, in def
ance of the snowstorms. On Aug 3 cour-

rejoined her equally intrepid husband. and
both climbed together to the top of Mont
Blanc, there to plant flag, in token of the
termination Of their good and useful
work. Like the Eihel Tower, the Bosses
Observatory was not built without entail
ing considerable suffering on the workmen,
some of whom had TO descend every day
through illness. When everything was in
its place the valiant builders returned to
Chamounix and were received by the mu-
nicipality and townspeople with bands
playing and flags flying. The observatory
has been fitted up with all the necessary in
struments for the prosecution OF meteoro-
logical researches, while the refuge is said
to be we'll stocked with provisions and beds
for the adventurous tourists who may pass
that way during the summon.

THE most sensible republican news,
paper in the country is the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, which sees some sig
nificance in the late elections and wants
the party to steer accordingly. 1t
strongly opposes any attempt on the
part Of Reed and Mckinley to revive the
force bill. 1.-THE situation is favorable
to democratic chances in 1892" it says,
"for both branches Of congress as we'll
as for the presidency" and it tells the
party leaders in congress that what
is wanted from them is not law to
regulate elections in the south, but a
policy that will bring back the lost re-
publican voters OF the north. There is
eminent wisdom in this advice.

PEANUT politics is term employed tc
designate petty political methods in
some parts Of the country, but we have
a smaller and meaner sort than that in
Montana-a sort so small and contemp-
tible as to make the peanut look as big
as Mount Helena. Mustard seed poll
tics they might be called. Daily exhibi
tions of this kind of politics are made by
the editor of the Russell B. Harrison Or
gan in his silly attempts to make party
capital out Of an assault on member Of

quite worthy to follow tho forged "Sons

increase for the decade $4,000 was over
25 per cent, or not far from double the
rate computed by Mr.. Porter for the de-
cade 188O-90."
The writer thus concludes his analy-
sis:
The question forces itself at once upon
anyone who take the trouble to institute
comparisons of the kind here made. has the
rate of natural increase declined SO greatly
as is indicated by Mr.. Porter's figures? and
this question of course raises the further
one, whether the census of 1890 has been a
correct and adequate one. There ID no par
ticular magic in census enumeration.
That Mr.. Porter himself has shown by his
arraignment of the census of 1870 az grossly
Detective So the question whether the
census of 1880 has been an adequate one is
one which may fairly be asked. II is note
worthy that many complaints of the mac
curacy of the census havo been made by
leading cities. An enumeration made by
the municipal authorities in New York dis
closed the fact that after making every al
lowance large number of the inhabitants
had been omitted by the census enumer-
ators. A similar Remuneration IS being
made in Brooklyn, and another will be
made in Philadelphia, to mention no other
cases. Instances such as these have thrown
doubt upon the accuracy OF the census, a
doubt which is increased by the peculiar re-
suits brought about by comparisons such az
we have instituted above. The census total
varies widely from almost all calculations
made by statisticians, and the general con-
clusion appears to be that the total is 1900
OQO or more too small.
These are deductions from which Mr..
Porter cannot escape by shouting that
his critics are politically hostile to him.
The eleventh census is costly failure.

enhanced valuation that Mr.. Could de-
serves to have his enhanced rates levied.
Of course, We have not time to enter
into details concerning this infamous
scheme by which Fisk and Gould swim
died the English bondholders, and have
since yearly swindled the American pro.
ducers. At later stage, however, we
may give brief sketch of it.
Since writing the foregoing, we have
learned that the orange interests are
not so seriously menaced by the new
schedule as we had supposed. Hitherto
the rate to the Missouri river was $1.12
q hundred and $1.25 to all points be-
yond. The real increase Is only from
SLIP to 1.25 to the Missouri rivera
fractional and really infnitesimal in
crease. Such kilograms ought to be
prepared with more accuracy. All the
same, Gould is the great railway wrecker
or stranger" of American RAILWAYS and
American enterprise. The reader can
choose his own designation for this
most unique and unprecedented of
money magnates and railway exploiters.

MAYOR HAZARD has played the doubl

MAYOR HAZARD has played the double
shuttle game with the Sunday-closing
ordinance in way to have disgusted
rybody on both sides of the question.
1t was, of course, his intention to play
game of very shrewd politics; but he
has overdone it. He has shuffled the
cards too often, and wrung in too many
"cold decks" on the voters. The fact is
Harry has hurt nobody but himself by
his vacillation and backing and filing.
His message to the council offering to
sign the bill if they would reduce the
license, was intended to catch the saloon
vote, for he knew the council would not
act on his offer to dicker. 1t didn't work
with the mixologists. When he realized
this fact, after long wait, he yesterday
played his last card, and signed the or
dinance, hoping to conciliate the Sun
day-closers. This move seems to be the
worst failure of all, for to man they
declare they will oppose him, because
his game is too transparent. Harry's
real friends are anxious to know who the
demphool is that has steered him DUR
ing this campaign.
