EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.
Uncle Sam Wants No Assistance in Taking
the Census.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Superintendent
Porter has sent an order to all supervis-
ors of census, stating that it has been
called to his attention that the city
councils and boards of trade of certain
western cities have appropriated sums
of money to aid their census supervisors
in the enumeration of the population.
Porter says while it may be urged by
some that such proceeding is legitimate
and merely intended to help the gov
ernment, he is compelled to look upon
it as an irresistible temptation to fraud,
and consequently endangering an hon
est count of the people. Supervisors
are warned against receiving any COM
pensation, or allowing their subordi-
mates to do so, in any manner, except
from the government

thought the wife OF the buck who was

The democratic friends of Hon. Steve
White, of Los Angeles, have passed
strong resolutions urging him to run for
United States senator and canvass the
state in the coming election. The prob
abilities are that Steve will accept and
go in and win the race. He is a brainv.
energetic, talented man and would be a
credit to the coast if he is not million
aire. 1t is high time the people of the
west begin to select senators and con-
gressmen who are not sworn to stand by
the blood-sucking monopolists of the
country. Steve White is a representa-
tive of the masses of the people who
have built up the Pacific coast and
would be worthy of the high position to
which his friends recommend him.
