to answer his questions or pay fine Of
800. An Improvement this year over
the fo-mer methods OF taking the census
has been the distribution, in advance, of
several millions OF family schedules, so
that tue enumsrator at many points will
find 1t already filled out, and 60 will be
greatly fac litated in his work.
1. ia o curious fact, as shown by the
last census, and in fact by all, that while
there are perhaps, 1,600, 900 women Of
the age OF 20 or 80, or 40, there will only
be about Gu, 900 OF the age of 80 or 40 or
30. The infer snce ia irresistible; they do
not like to acknowledge having turned
the corner OF decade. It would OF
course he unreasonable to presume that
once in every 10 years there is such an
alarming decrease in this birth Of girl
babies.
Another difficulty which the enumera-
tors I'll encounter is the collection of
statistics Of what are called the defective
classes-those who are deaf, blind and
idiots. Ten years ago the question WAS
pat before the head Of family in Italy,
'Ars there any deaf, dumb, idiots, or
blind in your housap" This was often
construed as offensive, and tended to in
/ bAIhb0 thC hfu4GulE Ah AouOkthAbAHB VIZ
| true facts. This year the enumerRtors
have ell been instructed to ask at each
houla: "Is the speech all right, is the
hearing perfect, is tie mind correct, oar
everybody eea 2" The census, too, in.
stead of calling She classes tdspeDd.
ant, defective and delinquent" will cal
them especial" and will not class them
with crimiucls.
An efpecial festure OF the census will
be 6 separate enumeration Of veteran.
and their widows, which of itself is 6
gigantic task, but 1t is hoped the result
will he great aid to the pension bureau
The list OF names OF all thu veterans il
the lend will make large volume, for IL
the state Of Wisconsin alone the return
of soldiers, sailors and their widows mad'
book three inches thick.
Tine cost OF taking, tebulating AMI
printing the census will be very great
but it is impossible as yst TO say just hov
Srent. The chief item of the expense, o
course, is the pay OF The enuperRtors
which in 1880 exceeded So, COO, 900, anC
this year will doubtless be more thai
81, 00,000. In special Cases the enumer
ator may be paid BY the day, not t
exceed SO. The great body Of enumera
tors will be paid as follows: For ever.

cents; for every firm, Is cents; for ever

Addresses at Institute Hall o
Trhde-UniOns and short Hours.


Trnde-Unions and short Hours.
p. ]. Mcclure, general secretary Of the
Brotherhood OF Carpenters aud Joiners
of America, and j. s. Kroener, general
organizer Of the Auericgn Federation of
Labor, made addresses Thursday night
at Institute hall upon the general labor
question.
The meeting was under the auspices of
Local Union, No. 40, Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners. A committee of
the union headed by William Underwood,
accompanied by Hyast's Military Band,
met the visitors at the p, W. j. B. station
and escorted them to the Institute Hall.
About 400 were present when MIR.
Underwood, who presided introduced the
first speaker, General Secretary Mcclure.
The speaker laid stress on the fact that
the local union had come to stay. Mr..
MCGUIRE explained the status of labor
from early times and the development of
the conditions Of crude labor into the Or
ganizsd associations OF the present day.
Some opposed trade unions because
they were first started in Europe, but the
same people Rped foreign customs and
foreign made clothes. Trades unions are
organized to protect the weak from the
I
as the state to the citizen. The strong
are those who have the power to give em-
ployment; the weak those who are COM
PEELED to seek employment. Workmen
are compelled TO organize for their own
protection.
Competition, he said, hsd much to do
with the poor condition of the laboring
GLASSES. Unscrupulous contractors will
tolr haf = ~, nal
them to raduee wages. They know that
they can find men who are idle to fill the
places of those who will not wnrk for the
wages offered, and thus it is the msn on
the street corner who reduces wages.
The only way to prevent this is for every
carpenter to Join the union. The en-
ployer in turn can and should also belong
to q union, and protect himself from
unscrupulous fellow-contractors.
The speaker said that the reason thai
carpenters have to work 10 hours pei
day here ia because they do not units
and demand nine hours. Bricklayert
and hod-csrrierB work only nine hour
and receive more wages. The lecturer
reminded his hearers that higher wage
do not follow long hours. The street ca
driver who works 16 hours per day re
coitos but pl W pA.oV poI uhy. iheEo y
no reason why the carpenter should worl
over nine hours per day. In other citie
he does not, and in some cities he work
but eight hours per day. Why shoul'

effected.
The speaker stated that the Carpenter
and Joiners' Brotherhood has member
ship OF 10000 and within the past sevei
years has paid out in sick and death ben
efts over $780, 900. Mr.. McGuir
strongly urged the question of shorte
hours upon the local union, and sug
gested the immediate appointment of
committee to wait on the contractors 10
the purpose of inaugurating the move
ment.
Following an intermission Of musi
Mr.. Kircsner spoke. He is an epthI
siastic supporter OF Trades unions. He
in favor of the uniting of all local lRbo

An Early Morning Fire.

The alarm of fire sent in from box No.
81 Fourth and Madison streets, about
II 90 o'clook Friday morning, was caused
by blaze in this cigar store of John
Crogan, northwest corner of Third aud
Monroe streets. When the firemen ar
rived volumes OF smoke were issuing
from the store, and socn the flames burst
forth fiercely, greatly to the alarm of the
neighbors who began TO prepare their
household goods for removal to places Of
safety. A few good streams OF water,
however, prevented tue spread Of the
aAmes and they were soon entirely ex-
tinguished. Orogan loses about $500
worth of tobacco and cigars, and the
building, which is owned by City Ooun-
Gilman Daniel McKenney, was damaged
TO the extent of $500, which loss will be
fully covered by insurance. The origin
OF the fire is mystery, as there was no
stove or other heating apparatus in the
room where it started. A large crowd
was attracted by the fire and stayed until
the flames were extinguished.
