THE SUMMER VACATION,

The summer vacation is here, and the
question is what to do with it. Did it
ever occur to you that the summer sea-
son is the hardest season in the year to
take yacation9 And yet it is the sea-
son everybody looks forward to as the
period for rest and recreation. There
are business considerations first to
be taken into account, and every
business man knows how difficult it
is to get away from his work
during the summer months. 1t is the
season of activity in the country, and
farm work Is something that admits of
no vacation. 1t is the busy season with
the railroads, when officials and en-
ployes are all kept with their noses to
the grindstone. The jobbers are busy
preparing for the fall trade. and the
manufacturers cannot afford to stand
still. In fact, outside of the profess
sional ranks, there are very few men in
business who can afford to enjoy the
luxury of summer vacation.
But on the other hand, there are the
temptations to get away from the office
and the shop and the counting room.
The sun shines so bright, the fields look
so green, the placid waters Of the lake
ale so inviting, how can one stand the
worry of work and the sultry heat of the
city when there are so many attractions
just little ways off? Then the good
housewife complains Of the routine of
household duties; the children are eager
for the outdoor sports; in fact, every
thing combines to drive the business
man from home, and before he knows it
he is off with family and luggage in
search of rural pleasures.
Where to go and what to do when he
gets there is about the last thing man
thinks of when starting out for sum-
mer vacation. The main thing is to get
off, and when once started it is COM
paratively easy to find stopping place.
There are so many attractive resorts.
lift is society he is longing for, Newport
and Long Branch are the first to come
to mind. If 1t is rest and genuine
pleasure he seeks, then he doesn't want
any more Of an Arcadia than he will
find at some of our Minnesota lake re-
sorts.
In speaking Of the difficulties in get
ting off on a summer vacation we have
been talking about the jewellers in other
cities. An additional difficulty besets
the st. Paul man. 1t is the difficulty in
finding a more attractive summer resort
than his own delightful home. Unless
it be for change, and just for change,
it is hard to imagine what st. Paul
people want to leave home for during
the summer months. If business men
want vacation, let them take it and
stay at home. The rest from work and
the respite from worry for few weeks
will be a great benefit to them, but
there is no more delightful way Of en-

TOPICAL TALK.

The Census The Old Citizen
dropped in last night
War. to talk over the census
war. ssBeing an old
resident here, guess have more feel
ing in this matter than the newcomers"
he began. "Most Of the people in st.
Paul and Minneapolis have come here
within the last ten years, and it Is
singular fact that they have never
imbibed that feeling of hostility which
we old-timers experience. And / never
realized how few Of us old fellows are
left" he continued, s'untiI this row
sprung up. There has been good deal
of agitation up in Minneapolis, but it
was mainly worked up on artificial
grounds and by me who had some Ill
terror object to obtain. But here in st.
Paul the people were as listless and as
Indifferent as if it had been fight be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis"
Taking. the liberty to suggest to
the Old Citizen that st. Paul
had no special interest in the matter,
no more than Chicago or Milwaukee or
any other city would have, the old
gentleman resumed, ''That's the point
was making-that'S the way all these
newcomers look at it; but it doesn't
look that way to US old fellows whose
blood Is still hot with the fever OF for
mer wars. We have all of the old pref
udices. 1t is better, perhaps. that the
newcomers preponderate, and that
their views prevail, but If this thing
had happened ten years ago martial law
would have been proclaimed in both
towns"

ALL FALLING BELOW.

The census enumerators are under
very rigid instructions not to give out
information as to numbers, or even
make estimates. The figures have not
been definitely determined in any city,
and the census people could not serious
ly disregard their instructions if so dis
posed; but contact with them often
leads to estimates by those who are per-
haps adopts in mind reading. In all
cases noted it is being conceded that
the anticipations as to totals will be
considerably reduced. Chicago has had
an enthusiastic impression that its mill
ion would have lap of 100000 OF so,
but now it will be content as million
aire, with a squeeze. Sioux City had
very careful computations, regarded as
conservative, that reached near to 49,
600, but the premonitiouS range between
81, 900 and $4,000. Milwaukee has Topped
Off $4,000 or so from its expectations. Ii
there are any cities that fill up the
schedules of local enthusiasm, they will
be apt to be charged with padding.

We repeat that it is great misfortune
for Minneapolis that the district at
torney is resident of that city at this
time. His conduct has exposed the
whole people of the city to an unjust
suspicion, in that they will be regarded
by the outside public as the aiders and
abettorS of the criminal conspiracy
which is alleged to exist. By his action
they are required to acquit themselves
of completely in the crime of census
padding, whereas if a legal investiga-
ton had been promptly and properly
proceeded with it would only have been
a fight between the government and its
employees.
We ask the thinking men of Minneap-
oils to view this unfortunate affair in an
unprejudiced light, and to exert them
selves in indicating the fair name OF
their city from the blot that the district
attorney has cast upon it.

THE TELEGRAPH ABROAD.

A writer in the Forum for this month
contributes all article of some interest
in regard to the government manage
ment Of the telegraph. Little is heard
OF late of the proposition in congress to
partially unite the postal and telegraph
services as urged by Mr.. WANAMAKER.
No action can be anticipated at this seS-
sion, but it is of value to know how
other countries succeed in the manage
meut of the telegraph. The United
States is, the writer alleges, about the
only country that does not have govern
ment control. Great Britain, Denmark,
Sweden and one or two other countries
have much cheaper service than in the
United States, while Italy and France
are about the same. and Germany a
trihe higher. In most of them the
government has had control from
the beginning, but this was not
the case in Great Britain. 1t
bought out the private companies In
1868 with 1900 miles OF wire, and paid
about three times the cost of the lines
to the companies. The French govern
ment built lines at One-SiXth of this cost.
Still, the English government reduced
the tariffs to a uniform rate all over
the kingdom, and by the figures given
has come short about 81, 100000 year Of
meeting the interest on the investment.
If it had not paid for the watered stock,
it would be little ahead. The govern
ment there can operate the service
rather cheaper than it could be done for
in the United States. England is
small country, compared to this, and has
fewer difficulties to meet in the opera
ton of the business. Unless there is to
be cheapening of the service, there
would be little to base government con-
troll upon in this country. =.

LICENSE IN ENGLAND.

The gatherings in England that are
so vigorously protesting against the
proposition of the ministry in regard
to the licens of public houses are not
impelled by the considerations that
prompt the prohibitionists in this coun-
try. There is nothing of moral reforme
in the question, except so far as the
government would reduce the number
of public houses, paying them for alsa
lowing their licenses to be cancelled.
These houses are mainly owned by thes
wealthy brewers, and the licenses have
value in connection with the realtgs
not well understood in this country.
The government scheme seems to be to
limit the number of these houses, as is
the case recently in Pennsylvania and
some other states, giving a valuable
monopoly to the fewer in num-
Der increased in value enormously
In Philadelphia, Pittsburg and 9TH
er cities the great III ajority Of
the saloons have been refused license,
but there is no compensation in conSe-
quence. The English mind sees vested
rights in the matter that must be bought
off by the government. There is stabil-
ity about it. A property is valued in
view of the license it possesses, al
though the license is issued but for a
specific time. The occupant Of the
property would be thrown out of bust
ness by the loss of the license, and the
the compensation go to the rich owner
of the house. The popular expression
is against the reduction of the number
of licenses. and especially adverse to
taxing the people to pay for the suspen-
zion of the right to sell. AS strong as
the SALISBURY ministry has been, its
existence will be imperiled if it insists
upon pressing this unpopular measure.

A Doubtful A somewhat aged st.
Paul man, who has a
Sunday Plan. reputation among his
acquaintance for in
variable ana rigid sobriety, in a conf
Dental moment the other day stated
that he had for many years made
practice OF getting drunk occasionally
as sanitary expedient. He did not en-
joy the drinking or its immediate
effects. He took liquor at such times
so as not to attract the attention of the
police, but was quietly and decently
drunk. His theory was that it throws
the system out of its routine, and dis
turbed astringent and dyspeptic
tendencies. He felt better as result,
both mentally and physically, he in
sists. His theory will meet little scien-
tific approval. but DR.. Flint, high
medical authority, disturbs the theory
of regularity by the statement that he
has never known all instance in which a
person lived according to strictly
dietetic system who did not become dyS-
peptic. No dyspeptic who attempted to
regain his health by strictly regulated
diet ever succeeded. Nature purifies
the atmosphere by an occasional storm.
Perhaps the physical functions have
related needs.

THE PERLs OF LIFE.

the image of deity-may find bus mess

Of the arrested destroyers. But so far
as they obtain credence, they help to
perplex the answer to the inquiry, Is
life worth living2 AS science and dis
covery swell the catalogue of the perils
that environ, lay in wait for and steal
into the system unawares, it is Won
der that there is so much living as there
is. The surprise that those who. have
gone before have not fallen earlier in
their career, or that they lived at all, is
lessened by the fact that they were not
aware that they were moving in
the midst Of such perils, and most of
them died without a suspicion that their
escape so long had been constant
miracle. Some elucidatOr of these
things has recently discovered in Eng
land that even the universal house AMI

agate diphtheria and other serious dis
eases. The careless cow poisons the

Albany Complains.

Albany Argus.
Several instances have been brou ght
to the notice of the Argus where cen
sus enumerators have thus far failed to
enumerate entire families. The two
weeks allowed for the work ended Sat-

is far from complete, and it must be
prosecuted during the coming week.
We are loath to believe that there is a
disposition to make scant enumera-
ton in Albany; and. where houses have
been overlooked, the fact should be
brought to the attention of the authori-
ties, so that full and fair count of our
population may be returned.
