A staten, mt Of the General Result Of the
Census In Vermont.

An erroneous impression OF the result
In this state OF the census OF 1890, not au
thoriz.d. was drawn from the publication
Of the population OF the larger towns, in
many OF which greater gairs had heen
made than 10 any previous census decade.
II was announced 10 some Of the city pa
pers that Vermont had made substantial
increase in population. The official coun'
will be likely to show the same population
In round thousands as in 1890
The gain in Burlington. Rutland, Barre,
Brattleboro, AMI in the large towns and
villages generally. is Offset by the loss p
the agricultural districts. 70 no other
decade Of the census has the loss 10 the
farming towns been 80 great About IS
towns will show gain Of population and
about 1874 towns a loss. OF the gaining
towns Addison county has three, BenDing.

Franklin county Eve, Grand Isle county

ACCORDING to the New York Press,
good republican authority, the work
ingmen of this country must not expect
to be benefited by the new tariff law for
a long time to come, and it irGeniously
advises them to be patient under their
increased living expenses. This advice
might be more generally taken by the
workingmen if they didnot fully realize
that the same law which is making them
poorer every day is piling up unearned
wealth for the favored manufacturer.

The Deadly Electric Wire.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 31.-A speclaltrom
Brodyer, Pa, says: A horrible accident
occurred in the Edgar Thompson steel
works last night, which was due to the
careless bravado Of the victim, a colored
man named Robert Washington. He
halls from Culpeper, Va, and has been
working as brlcklayer's laborer.
1t was noticed by Superintendent
Pierce. of the Carnage Electric Light
Company, that Washington had often
grasped the electric light wire when the
current was turned off in order to show
the men he was not afraid. He was
warned by Pierce that he would be
caught, Pierce telling him several times
that he was doing avery foolish thing.
Last night at 10 o'clock Washington
was seen 10 climb up several steps and
reach out his hand toward the electric
light lamp. Some one shouted warn
ing to him. but too late. His hand
touched the Wire and in an instant his
frame stifcned and he fell to the floor
below dead. Not a muscle twitched and
his death must have been instantaneous.
His right hand had touched the wire
and his left, clinglng to an IRON rod, had
the circuit. There was not a
mark on the man except on his right
hand, were a Slight scar was found
where he had grasped the wire

THE CROOKED CENSUS.
I INCREASING SUSPICION THAT IT is
FRAUDULENT.

Extraordinary Inaccuracies in All Parts
of the CountrY-A Scandalous State OF
Things 10 the Census ofice--Wiu it be
Investigated.
The elaring inaccuracies in the Re
publican census are attracting the at
tention of the entire country.
If there were a Democratic House
of Representatives now searching in
vestigation Of the whole business would
be certain as soon as Congress reassem-
bles. But if gigantic fraud has been
attempted, the whole power of the Re
publican party will be eSerted to cover
it up.
The population of Is of the States
and Territories has thus far been an
nounced, and it's already apparent that
the total population ofthe country VIII
be given out from 100000 to 3,OO0,0V0
less than what it really is.
There has been failure in the ma
jority of the States to ascertain the
real number of people living there, and
the failure is detected in Republican
States as we'll as in Democratic States,
but the net losses of the Democratic
States as compared with Republican
States are so much greater as to lndl-
cate that there has been a plan on the
part of somebody to Systematically I'M
derstate the number of persons in such
q way as to frau6ulently reduce the
number of Democratic Members OF the
House during the next decade by at
least ten.
We believe that when all the facts
are known it will be found that there
has been actual fraud in New York
City, and we are sorry to say that the
character of the men at the head Of the
Census Bureau is such as to render 1t
by no means impossible that they have
consented to this fraud for the purpose
Of bene6tting the Republican party.
It any one wants to know the char
scter OF some of the men who are con,
trolling the census work let him read
the insolent letter Of Mr.. a. +. Ch!lds,
the chief clerk of the Census Bureau,
to Mayor Grant, of New York. There
is ample evidence that the population
of New York city is atlleast 100000
more than reported by Porter's census
enumerators. The authorities of the
city respectfully ask for an official re-
count and are insulted in the public
prints by these census officials for pre-
ferring their request.
Now Philadelphia, Baltimore, Brook
lyn and other cities are demanding a
recount and the Census Bureau eyl-
dently believes that if the request is
granted in one case it will lead to a re
count of the entire country. That
such recount may yet be had is by no
means impossible. If the country shall
become convinced that a partisan fraud
has been attempted even a Republican
Congress will be forced to order the
work to be done all over again, under
competent non-partisan direction.
The incidental result will be tremen-
dous blow at Republican supremacy in
the Nation.
Last February we published a table
showing the estimated population OF
the several States and Territories &C.
cording to the method of estimating as
employed by the actUary Of the I.
Treasury, Mr.. j. S. Mccoy. Below we
give the estimate and the results Of
Porter's count in IA Democratic States

he South Was Very Defective.

Omitting from the consideration
those States in which the census Of 1876
is known or is presumed TO have been
faulty, the rate Of increase between
1870 and 1880 IN the remaining States
has been very nearly maintained in the
decade between 1880 and 1890.
Referring to the principal table of
the bulletin, the census OF 1870 is
known, or is presumed to have been,
deficient IN nearly all the States OF
South Atlantic and Southern central
divisions, while in the North Atlantic,
Nothern, Central and Western di-
visions no evidence Of l1completeneSs
has been discovered.
The population Of these three last
named divisions in 1870 ana 1890 ana
the absolute increasesTor the two de-
cades and the rate Of increase is set
forth as follows: Population 1910, 26.-
270,351; 1880, 33.639,2l3. Increase. l.
36S,o64. or 2S.l per cent; 1880, 1863
