A POLITICAL FORCE.

The view taken by the GLOBE re-
Gently that the lottery division will run
through the politics Of the dominant
party in North Dakota this year, has
confirmation, ill the opinion of the late
secretary OF the territory, l.. i. RICH
ARDsoN, of Grand Forks, Il strenuous
opponent of the lottery, but one of the
most conservative and impartial men
to be found ia the new state. His eSti-
mate may be taken as strictly honest
and free from political or personal
bias. In all interview with the Fargo
Argus, of March .. the paper that leads
ia The newspaper support OF the lottery,
Mr.. RICHARDSON says 'the men behind
the bill are power in North Dakota
politics." and the success of the meas
ure will make them the dominant force.
This he regards as lone of the worst
results to come OF the lottery scheme.
Should they fail, they Twill endeavor
to deprive all who assisted to this end
Of all political power" This is the as
pect of the situation that should APP
peal to the opponents of the iniquity as
Republicans. But Mr.. RICHARDSON, in
view of his acquaintance with the man.
ipulatorS, somewhat surprises us with
the statement that he !'beieveS the lot
terry bill will be brought up again ard
will pass This is almost incredible.
The men operating the thing will not re-
peat the blunder OF bringing it up with
any doubt as to its fate. The eX-secretary
further challenges creduIity by the
opinion which he says he is very sorry
to hold, that 1.-The opponents of the lottery
are now in the minority" in the state.
The clamor and glamOr that seem to be-
wilder people at the points that expect
to be the enriched seat of this baleful
potency, have no doubt affected even as
cautious men as Mr.. RICHARDSON, or
he would not consent to the suspicion
that the popular voice could be so per-
verted. 1t is not believed that the
moral sentiment has been so fatally in-
fected, or that the scheme has serious
vitality except as bond of fellowship
with those who would run and utilize
the political machine.

CENSUS OMISSION.

The original object of the national
census every decade was to provide the
basis for apportionment of members of
congress, and only the count of pOpula-
ton was requisite for this. Very natu
rally the scope Of the work has grown.
Every recurring period has stimulated
effort to add to the lines Of inquiry.
This has been carried so far that much
that is trivial and Of no practical utility
has been gathered The compilation Of
1880 filled twenty-five volumes as large
as WEBsTEE's dictionary, and took
most of the decade to prepare and pub
lish. In an article in one of the III aga
zines, Prof. DE Leon, of Columbia
college, calls attention to the fact that
in the taking of the last census one Of
the requirements of the law was utterly
ignored. 1t was a matter, too, of
very much greater moment than
many of those gathered. and would have
served valuable purpose in the con-
sideratiOn Of the industrial problems.
This was an enumeration of the unem-
pIoyed us such. The specification of
the law was that the census takers
should show the number having Occu-
patton only part OF the year, and the
time of such employment, to show the
relation of the employed and unem-
ployed. This sort of information would
shed a good deal of light upon the in
duslriai activities Of the country, and it
is alleged that the mandate of the law
was designedIy ignored in order not to
afford data as to the effects of prohibit
ton upon the laboring classes. Prof.
DE LEON insists that this was the fact.
The country would have been alarmed
at the numbers who were forced to
ideness by inability to secure
employment. AS further confrma-
ton of his view he cites the fact that
this requirement has been omitted in
revising the law for the coming census,
although there was a numerously
signed petition presented in the senate
by one of the Maine senators. The peo-
pie who profit by monopolies and re-
duce their production under the opera
ton of trusts and protection. do not
want figures to show how much their
labor is unemployed. The law was dis
regarded in 1850, and now il is eX-
plunged. Prot. DE LEON says this is ga
deliberate plan 70 misrepresent, and, if
need be, to wholly suppress the truth on
the actual condition Of the people"
There are ether lines of information
that have been petitionod for and re-
fused. One Of these was To learn the

POLITICAL TRAFFIC.

There has been frequent occasion to
note that the administration Is not for
getfui of those who deserted other
camps at the Chicago convention for
tnat of the heir of TippecanOc. The re-
cent explanatory publication of Col.
JACK BROWN, prominent Georgia Re-
publican, and presumably white man,
affords an additional Illustration.
BROWN wanted the postoIlice at Ameri-
Gus for his son, bat it has been given to
one DUDLEY, q colorcd man, and the i'll
dIgnant BROWN Is told that DUDLEY
had to be rewarded. In his heat he eX-
poses some incidents. DUDLEY was 4
delegate 10 Chicago, but his scat was
contested, and the SHERMAN managers
had so little expectation that he would
be seated that they neglected to buy
him when they took the others from
that state. BROWN was there and dis
covered this. took Dudley first to the
ALLISON headquarters, but there was
not enough TO that boom to warrant
such purchases. so he was lied like a
mule" to the HARRISON quarters.
There the other DUDLEY did not
wait for a "block of FIVE" per-
haps on account of the name,
hut paid him his price. Mr.. BROWN doe S
not state just what this was, but there
Is mention of 500 in one case. This
was probably the cash part, the rest to
be an Office in case Of the election being
carried. DUDLEY, the black one, got
his seat and carried out his contract.
He helped nominate HARRISON. and
now the latter redeemS any conditions
of the transaction by making DUDLEY
postmaster. The case seems to relieve
the negro delegates from the South from
the disparaging imputation of selling
too cheap. Many white delegates of the
FLANAGAN school, no doubt, would
have taken 800 and postofiiee. 1t is
not probable that any of the cOiored
delegates who staid loyalty with SHEER
NAN will get pOstofiices or any reward
from the administration. 1t is intimated
that the Ohio senator may even oppose
the confirmation OF some OF those so
faithfully remembered by the president.
This would he not quite. courteous to
the president. but il should not be held
against him by the colored men. He
should have the credit OF trying to pay
his political debts with the official things
in reach.

The Globes Scoop.

The Pioneer Press is devoting columns
daily to an Ostensible review of the
Steele-Wild controversy, but in reality
the articles are an attempt at vindica-
ton of itself for allowing the GLOBE to
work in its magnificent scoop, covered
with thin veneer of pretended judicial
fairness in treating the case, as though
it really had two sides. The Pioneer
Press is able and crafty, and although
no one knows better than itself that it
came down the tree with dull, sicken-
ing thud the day the GLOBE gave its
wonderful success to the public. and is
now lying prone on the cold ard barren
earth, just as McGinty did at the foot of

The inevitable pension and river and

not only wipe out the surplus in the
treasury, but leave an actual deficit to
be supplied by loan or all increase of
the present highest taxes ever imposed
upon the country in time of peace. 1t
is not surprising that censiderate Re-
publican leader like Congressman
Peters boldly calls upon his Republican
brethren to face these fl cures" because
if not faced now they must "be stag

indeed. "chilling figures" but he we'll

value of a president like Grover Cleve-

WASHINGTON, March G.-After rou-

endar and passed two pension bills-one
granting $50 month to the daughter
of Gen. W. J.Worth, and one increasing
to 500 month the pension Of the widow
of Mai. Gen. G. X. Warren. At 1910
the senate, Oh motion OF Mr.. Doiph.
went into secret session TO consider the
question of imprisonng the newspaper
men who have been guilty of publishing
the business Of the senate in executive,
and of refusing to tell where this news
was obtained. As on yesterday. the
discussion turned to the constitutional
phase of the question, and for a long
time the senators debated whether under
the constitution they had right to i'm
prison the newspaper correspondents.
Every senator who has any knowledge
OF constitutional law spoke at some
length. The question of the
DEFINITION OF "SEDIuON"
having been raised. a copy of WebSter's
dictionary was obtained, and the detinl-
ton there given was read and comment
ed upon at some length. Among the
orators of the afternoon were Senators
Edmunds, Allison, Plumb, Faulkner
and Dol, h. Mr.. DOlph read 10 the
senate paragraph from the Washing
ton Star of yesterday. rs follows:
The senate smelling committee was not in
session to-day. The senate itself is sup
posed TO be maturing plan to close the
mouths of the Journalistic lions who are en-
deaVorng, with Il good deal OF success. To

This paragraph, Mr.. D0lph said, was
written by man who enjoyed the priv
ileges of the press gallery. He thought
it was an outrage that man who was
granted special privileges by the senate
should be allowed to abuse one of its
members in this way. During the
course OF his talk to the senate, Mr.. Ed
munds proposed that the old remedy be
applied in this caSe-that all of the
senators and employees OF the senate
take an oath of purgatlon to relieve
them of all suspicion for what had been
done in the past and that the matter be
closed with that. Mr.. ingalls, laid before
the senate proposition that COM
mittee be appointed to confer with the
press committee. He said that he
thought the rules of the press gallery
should provide that any man admitted
to ITS privileges who published what
purpOrted to he a report of the proceed
ings i'm executive session should be eX-
PEELED. Mr.. Ingalls, proposition did not
meet with much favor. and both tho
Ingalls, and Edmunds propositions were
laid aside. The senate then, at p. M,
adjourned. with the understanding that
the matter would be disposed of to-
morrow.
