WARNING THE MONTANA MEN.
Members of the Delegation Receive a
Round Robin OH the silver Question.

The democrats of Montana are evidently de-
termined to hold the congressional delegation
to strict accountability for public actions The
latest effort is regarded here as somewhat ludi-
crous Senators Sanders and Power and Rep
resentative Carter have all been the recipients
OF kilograms from their political opponents in
which they are warned of the wrath to come if
anything goes wrong with silver. The tcle-
grams were all alike. as follows: You must
stand by the silver interests declare against
bullion redemption. We will hold you re-
sponsible for your vote and influence in this
matter" The triplicate warning was signed
by W. A. Clarke (who was q democratic con-
testee for one of the Montana Senatorships)
and a number of others of ike political con-
victiOns.
Representative Carter did not get his dis
patch until ten minutes after the House had
disposed OF the silver bill Senator Sanders
called for a repetition OF the message; he
thought it was too silly TO be genuine. Power
just laughed. After awhile Col. Sanders be-
came convinced that the telegram was o. K,
and he replied to the effect that if he was ex-
pected to run the United States Senate the
democrats of Montana would have TO supply
him with howitzer and several shot guns A
good strong lariat could also be utilized in
capturing skittish legislators.

! evening in hot haste to Superintendent Porter
that his enumerators were developing an
archistic tendencies and were endeavoring to
bulldoze him because they were not making
enough money. He seemed to be unable to
decide what to do in this emergency and init
mated that If the enumerators did no; relent
that he would have to throw up the sponge.

him calling his attention to the penal clause in

vising him that if he arrested few enumer-
ators the rest would probably see their way

Mr.. Porter was TT the Census Oaice when
this telegram was received about ~ O'Clock last
evening. The night AorcC of clerks were at
work and he had visited the Office TO see that
everything was going Oh all right. After die
tatnS reply ~ above indicated he concluded
10 call in the help of Representative Dorsey.
upon whose recommendation the supervisor
had received his appointment. Although it was
then near midnight Mr.. Porter thought
that Mr.. Dorsey ought to know about II ut
once. So he drove to the Portland. and going
directly to Mr.. Dorsey's room he aroused HIM
out of "A sound sleep. Mr. Dorsey
when he realized the situation, wrote
singing telegram to the super
visor, which will probably help to
stIffen his back bone. The system
that Mr.. Porter established las; evening of
calling on the members of Congress when any
he intends to follow in the future. and MEM
bers of Congress may expect to receive call
from the superintendent of the census at any

STATISTICS OF INDEBTEDNESS.
Supt. Porter Pleased at the Way the
Questions are Answered.

one OF the most satisfactory features to
superintendent Porter of the work of taking
the census as thus far developed are the reports
from supervisors from all parts Of the country
that the questions in regard to mortgaged in
debtedness are being generally answered This
Is new inquiry. not only in this country
but in the world, and the results are looked
forward to with great deal of interest. When
completed the inquiry will show how many
persons in this country own their
own houses farms and how many
rent. Also how many farms and homes
are mOrtSaged and how many are free
from debt. II is the intention to make these
statistics as accurate AZ possible. and those re-
fusing to answer will be vigorously prosecuted,
as the law authorizing this inquiry to be made
directs. 1t is not anticipated by Mr.. Porter
that there will be a necessity to proceed to ex-
treme measures except in Il few cases.

Monuments for Lincoln and Grant.

10 the Edltor OF 1HE EVENING STAR:
Your suggestion with regard to a monument
to Grant is undoubtedly an excellent one. The
GAR, composed of the comrades who bore
arms with Gen. Grant, not only want the re-
mains Of their great chieftain buried in the
beautiful national cemetery at Arlington, but
also such a monument reared to his memory in
this capital city OF the nation, which he did so
much to save the lite of, as would do credit to
his great name and fame. But what the writer
OF this would like to see would be three grand
monuments in this city: one to Grant, one to
Lincoln and the one that is already erected to
the Father of his Country, and neither to
Overtop either of the others, but the tops of all
three of the same horizontal level as they
should be of the same form.
The one to Grant should be erected some
where in the vicinity of 18th and N streets
northwest, the highest point in the city, and
Lincoln's on Capitol HILL Lincoln Park being
a suitable place for it. Thus these three great
est characters in American history. which rise
paramount to all other like characters, would
be properly COMMUNICATED by monuments
rising equally above all the other monuments
that should be allowed to be erected within
the nations domains. Congress could help
consummate the erection of the proposed
monuments to Grant and Lincoln with the
money of the whole people, as it did the COM
pletion of that beautiful obelisk that now
stands to the memory Of Washington on monu-
ment lot. The people no doubt would lend an
enthusiastic hand to the erection of these
other two monuments mentioned. Is the
suggestion impracticable or chimerical? Ut
