1t Ia unfortunate that the Weekly Payment
bill passed at the recent session Of the Leg
islature should be framed In such language
as to give rise to serious doubts about
the real meaning and application Of Its pro-
visions. A conflict OF opinion has already
arisen on this subject between the chief law
officers OF New York and Brooklyn. Mr..
WILLIAM H. CLARK, the Counsel to the Cor
poration OF this city does not think that the
new law applies TO persons who are paid sala-
rles fixed by the year as distinguished from
wages; while MI ALsIET F. jerks, the
Corporation Counsel OF Brooklyn, holds that
the provisions OF the Weekly Payment bill
are applicable to all persons who are In the
employment OF the municipality. without any
exception whatever. This view entities even
the Mayor to be paid every week.
Mr.. JAMES CONNOLLY. the chief Factory
Inspector OF the State OF New York, has also
given public expression OF his views as to
the effect OF the new law upon municipal
corporations. He thinks the law relates Just
as much to persons whose compensation Ia
fixed by the year as to persons whose COM
pensation is fixed by the day. In opposition
to this construction OF the statute 1t
has been suggested that the evil which tho
Legislature sought to remedy by the enact
ment OF the law was delay in the payment
OF persons who receive daily or weekly
wages; and that there was no abuse which
needed correction In the case OF those re-
ceiving salaries, as these persons were
usually paid with reasonable prompttude.

voir on the same street, and above them lay
o great tract Of waste country. The
Central Park was not laid out until
eight years later, and when Mr.. OHM
gTED and Mr.. VAUx began its development
1t was piece OF ground of the most I'M
promising appearance. Where the magnif-
cent Madison Square Garden Is now was
railroad station, and at Chambers street was
another. AS compared with the present, there
was not grand building in town, with tho
exception of the City Hall and Trinity
Church. There were no imposing private
residences and few spacious hotels. Broad
way below Fourteenth street was the fash
ionable promenade, and the Fifth avenue
was not solidly built up far above.
In 1850 the population OF the town was
much less than third OF what 1t Is now,
and when the civil war broke out 1t was less
than one-half. Brooklyn In 1850 contained
less than hundred thousand inhabitants, as
against its present population OF moro
than eight times as many. The two cities
together numbered only about 100000 peo-
pie. To-day they contain 2,5O00OO There
was no bridge between them. tho ferry ac-
oommodations were small and few. and in
tercourse was therefore comparatively diff

This njont community OF New York and
Brooklyn now contains about 100000 in

future as to population, taking its past

The Philadelphia is guaranteed to make 10
knots an hour during four consecutive hours,

back over the course. making so knots in all,
besides taking an easy and sweeping turn be-

70 knots, and also between the time actually
made and the four hours allowed for 76 knots,

Complaints Of the insufficiency or negli-
Rence OF tho census takers come from many
quarters 1t Is unnecessary and, in a majority
OF GASES, would probably be unjust to lay the
blame upon the enumerstors themselves. The
fault Is with the law. with the system. The
proper object OF taking the census is to ascer-
tain the number OF the Inhabitants. In at
tempting TO accumulate mass Of superlluous
or impairment information the proper object
OF the census is lost sight Of and in some
measure defeated. 30 much OF the time
OF the enumerators is taken up in solicit
ing answers to useless questions that they may
fail to roach all the people in their districts.
Thus the census In its prime purpose OF nero
enumeration is not as complete and trust
worthy as 1t should and easily might be; and
on the other hand. a pile OF shaky theories is
built upon imperfect facts
The English aud the German plan OF making
the enumeration In single day seems the best.
That day should not be in the summer.
when considerable part OF the population Of
the cities is out OF town. With sufficient
force OF enumerators. and no aggregation Of
silly questions to make delay, an accurate emu
meration could be obtained.
That Is what the census should be, an accu-
rate enumeration OF the inhabitants of the
United States. Instead OF that 1t has become
sort OF monstrous encyclopedias OF sociology.
