Glad to Sec the Census Man.

One happy census enumeratoF has
been heard of. He had three towns in
Baker county for his field Of operations.
He says he expected 90 be well treated,
but such unbounded hospitality as met
him everywhere was complete surprise.
He bought q poor horse 20 commence
with, and at the close Of his work the
horse was fat. and it cost him only ten
cents for himself and animal for the
month he was al work. When he went
into a settlement the neiEhbors were all
called ia. Thus his labor was very
much Nghtened, and not man even
hesitated in answering a single question.

ReSlQnatiOn

Commissioner Smith Hands In HIS
Resignation.
LONDON. Dec. 26.-Tho Times Announces
that Commissioner Smith of the Salvation
Army has resigned. His resignation, >" the
paper says. lat this critical period in the
history Of the army is most important,
because Smith formed the one substantial
guarantee that an earnest and businoss~like
effort would be made to execute the
practicable part Of Gen. Booths scheme
of social organization. The secret
authorship of 'Gn Darkest Eng
land" is now common knowledge,
but charitable hypothesis ass,gns Gen,
Booth credit for having written at least
two chapters of the book. Gen. Booths
explanation is that he supplied a profess
stonal writer with the material for the book
work. The question whether Gen. Booth,
under these circumstances, was justified in
allowing bhe book 20 appear az IL written
by himself, Is ono Of literary ethics, wherein
We have no right 10 expect Gen. Booth to
enter.
FATHER OF THE COLONY SCHEME.
"Wo believe that when tho whole story is
revealed 1t will be found that substantial
parts of the scheme of city and farm
colonies originated with Mr.. Smith. Gen.
booth, reluctantly accepting those, ASSERTS
that the ground OF difference between Mr..
Smith and himself is that while Commis-
sioner Smith always opined that 1t was
absolutely necessary to keep the social WORK
scheme as distinct as possible from the re-
ligious work of the army Gen. Booths
method OF Inviting donations, despite
his apparent willingness that tho funds
should be divided, leads TO the
mingling of all separate funds into one
common fund, rendering 1t obvious that
every contribution to apecific department
sets q proportionate amount of the general
fund free, to be spent at the discretion of
Con. Booth. Nothing but sense OF duty
could induce Commissioner Smith TO
resign at SO Important junct-
ure. There must be something
wrong with the scheme as to tho manage
ment OF the funds. Those who promised
donations are now entitled TO withhold them
until full and satisfactory account of Mr.
Smiths resignation is given. He was the
life and soul Of tho social reform wing of
the army. 1t is likely that his resignation
is destined TO be a deathblow to Gen.

said the congress desired to assist the

continues to hold business almost at a

ment that the families OF the strikers are
beginning to feel the effects Of the strike
are denied by the men who are out. The
latter claim that they are In position to
hold out at least six weeks without
In anyway causing distress to Themselves or
their families. Up to the present. with the
exception of hooting and occasional stoning
OF an obnoxious employe who may have re-
NAMED loyal to the railroad company, there
have been few acts of violence. This, to a
great degree, is due to the admirable pre-
cautions taken by the police.
TRYING TO GET NEW HANDS.
The North British railroad company is
making a strong effort TO secure the serv-
ices OF as many new hands as possible in
order to keep up the fight against the strik-

CLEREs OF SEN AToRs.
The Old Fight Between the Two
Houses in Full Blast.

aOucSS III Il ulA 6AdSbs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Thers is an in
teresting little fight going on between the
Senate and House over the urgent def
cheney appropriation bill (made up princi-
pally Of appropriations for tine government
printing office), and unless the deadlock be-
tween the two bodies is broken there may
be an interruption of the work Of the gov
ernment printing office. The Senate added
to the bill provision fer the payment of
the salaries to clerks 10 senators during the
interim between the two sessions of this
congress. The effect of this provision
would be, indirectly, TO make the clerks to
the senator's annual instead of session em-
ployes. The House refused concurrence in
the Senate amendment, and the Senate
conferees refuse TO sign the conference re-
port and permit the other items of appro-
priation in the bill to become q law
unless the House yields.
AN OLD FIGHT.
The fight is really continuation Of the
struggle between the two bodies begun last
session. The Senate, by amendment to the
regular annual appropriation bill, made
senator's clerks annual employees, but the
House refused TO concur. and finally carried
its point, the amendment being
stricken from the bill. La the closing
days Of the session. however, the Senate
passed a simple resolution, TO which, of
course, the assent of the House was not
necessary, providing for the payment of
senator's clerks during the recess from the
Senate contingent fund. There was no
money available in this fund, and il is now
sought to increase the fund to the
requisite amount by the deficiency
appropriation bill. The House is
steadfast in its determination to
resist this; and the members of it's appro-
priation committee say that such thing as
paying regular salaries from the contingent
appropriation was never contemplated, and
that to permit it would be for the House to
abdicate its power Of scrutinizing and pro-
viding for expenditures of public moneys.

facilitated by the fact that the firm trusted
