posed TO say that they might not forgive
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN, should he come to their
rescue at moment Of supreme exigency.
The Unionists are also good deal irritated
at the prediction made by MIR. CHAMBERLAIN
at Oxford that, except by n sweeping appli-
| cation OF the closure which he would con-
denim, the Land Purchase bill cannot be car
red at tho present session Of Parliament
| They are haunted, apparently. with the sus-
plclon that In this instance the wish was
father to tho thought. Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
went into an elaborate arlthmetical calcula-
ton to prove that, II the Parnellltes resorted
TO obstructive tactics, the passage Of the bill
would be an impossibility unless,
indeed, debate were utterly shut off.
Was not this tantamount TO telling
the Parnellltes that the fate OF MIR.
BALFoURs measure would lie in their
hands, and that they would have only them
selves to blame II they should neglect the
obvious means Of killing IT. Altogether
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN is showing himself just
now an iDconvenient friend to the Unionists,
and the Government may yet have reason
to regret that it has habitualy forced him
to play second fiddle to Lord HARRINGTON,
q man of far inferior natural abilities. 1t
will not do to underrate Mr. CHAMBERLAIN's
talents for destruction. He drove Mr..
FORSTER from the Liberal Cabinet; he had
as large share as any man In driving Mr..
GLADSTONE from power In 1885; and he may
yet deliver the coup de grace to the now
dominant coalition.

| The Hon. THOMAS BRACKET REED has
| latterly become 80 much a favorite with a
| considerable part OF the Republican party
| that his admirers mean to run him for Presi-
| dent In 1899.
Mr.. REED is bold able, and sincere man.
| He Ia q tirst-class statesman and tlrst-class
politician. His friends are friends indeed.
He binds them to him by attachments that
do not fail. His heart Is in the right place,
| and his word is never broken.
But we don't believe he can become the
Republican candidate. He weighs three
hundred pounds and this great weight is
not in the way OF becoming diminished. 1t Is
rather increasing and likely to increase. It
interferes with his running powers. Too
much adipose is injurious to the political
prospects OF citizen. whether he belongs
to one party or another.
II In view OF situation so critical, Mr..
REED should determine to call in medical
aid for the purpose Of reducing his weight
and improving the chances Of his ambition,
We would intimate that DR.. GIBBS OF this
CITY. relative Of the Republican politician
popularity known as the Wicked GIBBS, Is
experienced in the adipose department OF
medicine He has been consulted by Mr.
GROVER CLEVELAND, another fat politician
and aspirant. He has treated Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND and has enjoyed the advantage Of
having the fact Of his treatment falsely
and ungratefully denied by CLEVELAND
himself. Mr.. REED could not do better per-
haps, than TO put himself In DR.. GrBBs's
charge. II he has any doubt on the subject,
he might write 10 Mr.. CLEVELAND and get
private report Of his experience.
One thing is tolerably certain; no man
who weighs 800 pounds. or even $50, no mat
ter how good he is, can be elected President
OF the United States.

How to Meet tho Census Enumeration.

Politely and pleasantly, in the first place
He comes to you on necessary and consti.
tutional errand. and he ls, in humble way
representative OF the glorious Government
We all love and uphold.
Don't attempt to rebuke him or argue
with him. He is simply carrying out his In
structions, which are definite and mandatory,
as far as he is concerned. He has no power
to change the schedule Of questions commit
ted to him by his Superintendent
Remember that 1t is not the enumerator's
fault that Mr.. ROBERT 2. PORTER and DR..
JOHN S. BILLINGS and Col CARROLL d.
WRIGHT entertain ideas in which you cannot
coincide concerning the value to statistical
science OF your intimate secrets Of health
and pocketbook.
They are monstrously mistaken, and you
are right in your location OF the constltu-
tional limit Of Federal inquisition; but the
onumerator has had no voice In the matter.
He isn't to blame.
Probably he had rather be excused than
not from pressing your wife with questions
as to her physical condition, or from asking
you whether the house you live in Is mort
gagged. His task is not an agreeable one
and, In common decency, you ought to make
1t as easy as possible.
Answer tho questions that come within
the legitimate scope Of Government inquiry
as promptly. plainly, concisey. and salts
factorily as your command Of language per-
mits Tho right to ask the greater part Of
the questions Is implied in the power to
mako tho enumeration for which the Con-
stitution provides. Few people will object
to imparting to the Government. as matter
Of favor. not of obligation, such information
about parentage. place OF nativity. occupa-
ton, and education as it may cherish harm
less ambition to acquire.
When the enumerator comes to Question
%, Whether suffering from acute or
chronic disease" and so forth, maintain an
impressive silence, and keep 1t up until tho
end Of the schedule is reached. Then bid |
him good-by as pleasantly as you babe him |
good morning. But don't argue.

Tho Mormon Couasent,on.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suns Sir: Your re-
marks on the Mormon coniscation case
this morning are timely and lust. but not So
vcro enough. The Edmunds act In many
of it's features was the most Infamous that ever
disgracea our national statute book. and there
have been some very Infamous. The decision
OF the Supreme Court sustaining the act will
return some day to torment not only the court
but tho Congress Of the United States The
real cause Tor the passage of that act never
showed itself IN the discussions over II in Con-
gress. Its defenders claimed its object was to
destroy pOiygamy. The real object was TO de-
strOy the cooperative stores that interlerod
with LOT Of sharks who wanted to control the
trade Of Utah. That act took from the woman
Of Utah the right Of suffrage and conAscated
the property OF lions Cooperative Union. and
all under the pTeteXt OF morality. But felt
from the day OF its passage until this decision
OF the supreme Court that 1t was so contrary
to every principle OF natural justice that u
judicial decision would kin l..
l have not word to say in defence Of polYga-
my, but | have more respect for the Mormons
who had no houses OF prostitution and no
illegitiInate children TO put into founding hos
pitfalls, than have for tho hypocrites who from
unworthy motives secured the passage of tho
