Raadx fnr Csnsns Work.

WASHINGTON, March II. = Superin-
tendent Porter, of the census bureau,
left Washington Friday night for short
vacation of week or ten days. The
census work is now well in hand, every
special inquiry being started. All the
schedules are in the hands of the print
er; nearly every supervisor has received
his commission, and in few weeks rs
supervisors districts of the country will
be sub-divided ready for the appoint
ment of the enumeratoIs for taking the
forthcoming census.
Superintendent Porter takes this vaca-
ton at this time for the reason that he
does not expect to be able to leave his
office for day during the coming sum
mer. There is little lull in the census
business now, consequent upon subdi-
viding the supervisors district and the
preliminary work preparatory to ap-
pointing the enumerators for the enum
GRAFTON of the population in June next,
after which time the superintendent feels
that the duties of his office will require
his constant attention.

years of undertaking devotion to which

A Trick Of the Trade.

There is a cruel story in circulation con-
corning certain teacher in one Of the public
schools who has been highly complimented
because of the success attending the examina-
ton of her pupils. 1t was noticed that her
class Of boys seemed to be able to solve all She
problems. When a question was asked, every
boys hand in the class was raised. The prin-
cipal of the school was putting the questions
and the teacher would call on pupil to make
the answer. Although more than score OF
questions were asked, in no instant was an
improper answer given.
The principal was so pleased at the result
that he made special mention Of Miss Dash's
proficiency as teacher in each of the class.
rooms that he visited. Probably envy was
caused by the fact that in no other class
room did the pupils seem to be as well up in
their studies. One of the teachers, whose
pupils did not acquit themselves very credit
ably, made an investigation, and by a judi
cious use Of candy succeeded in gaining the
confidence of one of the boys under Mis-:

MONDAY EVENING, MAR. II.

The Louisville Commercial IRE
publican) writes a strong article COM
mending the bill Of Senator Call, OF
Florida, which proposes the election
of United Suites Senators by a direct
vote of the people instead Of by the
Legislatures, and assigns many
strong reasons for such change.
The growing sentiment for this
change is guarantee that it will be
made in the near future, if not by
the present Congress. 1t is not a par
ty question now, but unless this Re-
publican Congress makes the change
it will be party question by the
Democrats next campaign. Gen.
Palmer is now candidate for the U.
s. Senate, subject to the endorsement
of the Illinois Democratic State Con-
vention and will not agree to make
the race without nomination, which
shows the tendency of public senti-
ment in the west.

Let The Farmer. Organise.

The Obion Democrat is always
sensible, courageous and just. 1t
says:
Those who profess friendship for
the farmer and yet secretly, ii not
openly, oppose farmers organiza-
lions are real if not agreed allies of
those who are the worst of the farm
ers' enemies. 1t has come to the
pass that labor must organize in
self-defense, and the sooner this or
ganizati0n is thorough and wide
spread the better it will be for the
country.
This is every word true. The sal
walton of this country depends on
thorough organization and education
of farmers to overthrow the capital
combinations that are manipulating
the machinery of government for
the benefit of their own class. When
farmers get to understand the real
cause of agricultural depression,
there will be a reckoning at the bal
lot box. They will learn this organi-
ton and education.

An interesting experiment in Jumping a
torpedo over boom has been carried out in
Dorchester creek by the officers Of the Yer
non. The boom, which wSs twenty feet Ia
length, differed from the usual spars which
are used for the defense of harbors against
torpedo attacks, in that it was six feet broad
and surmounted by q number OF spikes,
which it was supposed would receive the boat
and hold 1t prisoner. A first class torpedo
boat, which had been strengthened for the
purpose, was selected to attack the boom.
Having worked her engines up to full speed,
she made dash at the boom at the rate of
about twenty knota At this speed her stem
was lifted out Of the water almost as high as
the boom itself, which sunk ON impact, and
before it could rise to the surface the momen-
tum Of the craft had carried her over. 1t
was subsequently found that neither her cut
water nor propeller had suffered in the least,
nor had single plate been bulged or started.
The result Of the experiment points to the
fact that either the booms must be duplicated
or that they must be supplemented with nets,
with the object Of entangling the screws Of
the attacking enemy,-New York CONNER
