A Whole Township Missed.

A Raleigh dispatch asserts that no
ceneus of South Greensboro, Gull
ford county, N. O., which has apopu-
lation of three thousand, has been
taken, and one township in the
county had no enumerator. In the
township in question a Democratic
applicant for appointment as enum-
orator was appointed over the Re
publican applicant. Soon after he
got to work he was notified of his re-
moval and ordered to turn his books
over to the Republican, but the lat
ter refused to accept the appointment,
and consequently no census has been
taken in that township. There are
similar complaints from all over that
census district. Superintendent Por-
ter would have done better in this
census business if he had paid more
attention to competency and less to
politics in the selection of supervisors

w. A. Pollard, farmer who lives
in this county, was i'll the city Il few

he told the following story, which is
vouched for by those living in his

ago Mr.. Pollard hired himself to the
late Alex. Spillers II well l-to-do far

he received suit of clothes as pay.
Mr.. Pollard was then employed per
1nanently as farm hand. He had
been with Mr. Spillers but II short
time when girl child was born to
Mrs. Spillers. An hour after it was
born Mr.. Pollard asked Mr.. Spillers
to give him the child as his wife when
she arrived at the proper age. Mr..
Spillcrs consented, and said If MIR.
Pollard stayed with him he should
have his daughtcrat sixteen Through
sixteen years the young man worked
with his employer and at sixteen
claimed the young lady as his iiance
and was soon after married to her.
He is now the father of two children,

New YORK, July 3.-A crowd of
about 200 striking cloak makers
gathered on Broadway between
Leonard and White streets this
morning at the hour when the hands
IN the Meyer & Jannassen shops at
334 and the Megcantile Cloak Com
pany's place at 1874 Broadway were
going to work. These firms are two
of the largest in the trade and are
battling in the front row of the En-
ployers' Association against the strik-
ers' demands. When their employ
ees tried to enter the shops they

lations to enter. Some were fright

Broadway for two blocks
was the scene of q dozen running
fights. For a short time the strikers
had it their own way but soon the
assailed men pluckily fought back.
AS a consequence damaged heads
among the strikers were plentiful.
The working cloak makers. however,
generally got the worst of it. Around
Meyer 81 Janassen's shops the war
ragged the most tiercely. A dozen
strikers caught Charles Butler, stock
clerk, and dragged him backward off
the steps and maltreated him.
JOS. Lerberger, buyer for the house,
was beaten. An old operator named
Quincy was set upon and so badly
beaten that he had to be driven homo
In cab.
William Wisner, another operator,
received several scalp wounds. He
was taken TO the Chamhers Street
hospital for treatment. Neither pis-
tolls nor knives were used in the
melee, the only weapons being firsts
and dubbed umbrellas.
When the police arrived in force
they had no difficulty in dispensing
the mob. They used their clubs
freely. Mr.. Moorcroft, of the cloak
firm, said he hadno idea that violence
would be used. He had supplied the
places of the strikers, he said, and
work was progressing as usual.

The People VIII Not stand II.

The American people, North and
South, will not submit to being bull
dozcd and dictated to. Our educa-
ton for 100 years has made us intol-
Grant of compulsion and of autocratic
methods. Fair play is the first prin.
ciplc of the American citizen, and
this bill violates fair play in every
provision. If it becomes law, and
there is no reason to anticipate that
it will not, it will be law that will
never be put into effect. The Su
premc Court will not sustain 1T and
the people will not stand it. Tom
Reed and his gang Of buccaneers may
force it through Congress, but they
cannot make the American people
swallow it.-Louisvillc Post

Machines That Seat tho Human Brain In
Computing Returns

machines That Seat tho Human Brain in
Computing Returns
WAsHNaToN, July 1O.--Nice-l looking
girls in clean, white aprons are the
busy hands in machine shop on the
third floor of Ninth street building.
Work 'ho6l on ceHSses l,wsseeasta en1 -t5a,f,isls
machines, which come sonear human
intelligence in Computing the returns
sent from all sections of this big
country for the census of 1890. At
first glance the machines remind one
of an upright piano. They have hand
some oak cases and each one occu-
pies about the same space piano
does. They are, however,, cminently
practical machines, and with their
aid some fifteen young ladies can
count accurately 100000 names II
day. 1t is expected that when the
work of counting the census returns
really begins there will be seventy or
eighty of these machines at work.
The returns from the census dis
tricts throughout the country are
coming in slowly. There arc more
than $4,000 of these districts, and SO
far only about $500 districts have
sent in the returns. AS fast as the
returns come in they are counted, al
though not rs rapidly as they will be,
as it is necessary to train the young
ladies in the use of the machines. In
making this count, which is known rs
the trough count" the returns for
each district are counted twice. After
being counted on one machine they
are passed over to another, and when
the latter count is completed the two
are compared, and if there are dis
crepancies necessary corrections are
made. Following this method, if the
total population of the country is
6O,OOO,OOO there will be counted in
the census Office an equivalent to
| 120, 100000 names.
The machines, which are the inven
ton of Mr.. Hollerith, and supplement
his tabulating machines, are very
simple. A key board, resembling
that of typewriter, is at the right
of the operator. Each key has {
number from one to twenty. The
operator has a pile of census sched
ules at herleft side, and, as she turns
the schedules over, she notes the
figures which indicate the number O
members in each family enumerated
in that schedule If there are five il
n family she strikes the key marked
five. When a key is struck an elec
trio connection is established will
the hands on dial in the frame worl
in front of the operator.
That dial is marked No. 5, whicl
means it records the number of fami
lies consisting of five persons. Eacl
time the No key is struck No. 5 dia
records one. When the count i
completed the recorded number OF
each dial is multiplied by the mum
Der of the dial, the results added vi
and the total number of individual
in that district is ascertained. If tn
result is obtained by different oper
ator, then it is concluded that tn
count is correct 1t is expected tha
by the use of these machines the II
suits Of the census will be know
much sooner than by any other know
method.

OF COURSE!

Thus far everything pertaining
to recent election matters have been
pan-handled-all On one side. The
elections of SaIt Lake and Provo
were held on the same day, Febru-
airy 10th. The next day, bright
and carly, the votes cast in this city
having been eanvassed by the Sec
rotary Of the Territory, the certifi-
Gates were issued to the ''Liberal''
candidates. Not So in the case If

1t is a week today since the election
occurred, but 40 certificates to the
successful Peoples officers.
Now, why should the canvasser
and Commission act in the one case
with the speed OF an Il. G. w.
registration train on the way to the
Colorado line, and in the other with
the sluggish gait Of the Illuminating
OK? Isl not because Of the rcspec-
tive parties to which the candidates
belong? The conditions involved
are Of the same character, but the
treatment accorded the candidates
very much out of balance. still
election matters are being Jdirly
conducted, AMI those who manipu-
late them are "all honorable

Agent CranzieOf the DEVILS Lake
Reservation, North Dakota, told the
Pioneer Press reporter today that
tue situation among the Indians of
that agency has been understated.
The winter is very severe, aud, in
his opinion, If the 5000 recently
authorized for their relief by the
President had been delayed longer
there would have been but few In
dians to have received any benefits
therefrom. He says unless more
help is quickly furnished it is
doubtful whether all the nine hun
dred Indians on the reservation will
live until spring. Already n num-

late municipal election in this city.
1t Is an inapt expression. and is
misleading. The "Mormon' Church
has met with no defeat. Ithas been
engaged in no contest lately, other
than that which has occupied its ut

methods Of the opposition in the

teachings Of that Church, but who
We're impelled to support the Peoples |
Party by the conviction that under
1t the city would be governed hon
estly and economically, while the
reverse would be the case under its
opponents. The result was the de-
feat Of the conservative, solid and
reliable elements of the community
as opposed TO carpet-baggers, specu.
lators, "bOomers' and the like. The
"Mormon" Church had no more IN
do with the contest than had the
Methodist. Presbyterian, or anv
other religious society in the city.
We are not denying that the {
Mormon" Church, in the capacity {
Of a religious bojy, will be indirect ]
ly affected by the result, for such
will, We anticipate, be the fact {
Hereafter, for example. it will be
impossible TO attribute to that
Church any responsibility for any
