The people of Galena, General Grants
old home, propose to request the removal
of his remains To that city, and will
guarantee the erection of a suitable
monument. Galena is not large town,
but it doesn't require very large town
to hold more enterprise and patriotism
than New York has displayed in the
Grant monument matter. The only mis-
take Galena made was in delaying the
movement 50 late. If it had done so
several months ago when the question of
removing the remains from New York
city was up fresh, public sentiment
would PROFESSIONALLY have seconded the
Galena proposition so strongly as TO force
its acceptance. The same sentiment that
backed the removal of the remains of the
first martyr president to his old home at
Springfield for a final resting place, OBJ
tains i'm Galena's claim to the tomb Of
General Grant.

An Ara of Theories

From the Boston Herald
This is an age of theories. From Henry
Georgeism to Bellamyism the whole
gamut of ideal reform is preached by the
perfectionists. The only trouble is that
all the theories do not agree. 1t is well,
as Emerson advised, TO .'hitch your
wagon to a star" but it is not safe to
trust exclusively to stars for locomotive
power in general and individual progress.

ENcoUR AGING.

Proofs are multiplying daily that the
situation in Kansas, as to the results OF
this years farming operations is not by
any means serious, but on the contrary
is most encouraging. The following
from the Fort Scott News is a fair state
ment of the present condition throughout
| the state: ''Stock buyers who have been
in the country the past week or ten days,
report that they find it much more diff
cult to buy stock than few days ago.
AT that time the farmers were somewhat
alarmed over the crop and feed products
and thought it would be necessary to dis
pose of a portion of their animals for
fear they could not winter them. The
excellent condition of the corn, and the
splendid fields of domestic grasses, and
abundance of rough feed, has dispelled
this feeling and stock owners are salts
fed that they will have the usual amount
of feed, and they either want good prices
or they VIII Keep their cattle and hogs"
The result of the'Vermont election is a
trifie strange. 1t seems the farmers
wouldn't vote. The decrease in the Re-
publican vote was 15,402, and in Repub-
lican majority, 10, 763; decrease in Dem
cratic vote, 461. The figures for the
state are: Page, 32,651; Brigham, 1915;
all others 1874. Majority for Page,
1862. The same towns in 1888 gave
Dillingham; 47,O53, Shurtleff, 1925; all
others, 1852; majority for Dillingham;,
26, 455. The Chicago Tribune calculates
that 1.-The enormous falling off in the Re-
publican vote means simply that many
thousands of hard-headed, intelligent
consumers gave notice that they did not
want the fat fried out of them by the
Mckinley bill for the benefit of the mill
Bosses" As to this, however, the situa-
ton was just the same in the neighbor-
ing state of Maine, but the result of the
election there was almost directly the
opposite of that in Vermont: the Repub-
licans not only voted themselves but in
creased their majorities. Local issues
must, therefore, have had something to
do with bringing about the results in
both states.

Order Issued to Supervisors Of
the Census
Which Prohibits the Acceptance by
Enumerators Of Extra Com MI
pensation

From Municipalities, Corporations, Indi.
viduals or AssocistIons-The Eleventh
Census Must be Above suspicion.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Superintend.
ent Porter has sent the following i'm
portant order to all supervisors Of CEN
sus: |Nh RfFE
1T has been brought to the attention
OF the Superintendent of the Census
that the city councils and boards of trade
OF certain western cities have appropri-
ated sums OF money to aid their census
supervisors in the enumeration of the
population. While it may be urged by
some that such proceeding is legitimate
and merely intended to help the Gov
eminent TO obtain fair and full
enumeration, l am compelled to look
upon 1t as a most irresistible tempta-
tion to fraud, and as consequently en-
dangering an honest count of the peo-
pie. II tolerated by this Office 1t would
have . tendency to bring the whole CEN
sus into disrepute. You are therefore
positively instructed not to receive any
such compensation yourself nor counte-
nance for one instant the payment TO
enumerators of any sum Of money what
ever, by municipalities, corporations,
associations or persons.
ANY supervisor OF census who is not
content with the remuneration allowed
by law (which is double the amount
paid In 1SS0 should at once resign. The
eleventh census must and shall be above
suspicion. To tolerate any action on
the part Of municipalities, associations,
organizations or individuals, no matter
how powerful they may be, which has
Tor Its purpose the debauching or which
would even throw the slightest taint
upon the truthfulness OF the returns,
would, in my opinion, be nothing short
OF crime against the people Of the
United States. This whole matter, to-
gether with the facts in the possession
OF this office, has been laid before the
Secretary Of the Interior, and the action
OF the Superintendent of the Census in
placing every legitimate obstacle at his
command In the way Of the distribution
OF local funds for this purpose meets
with the secretary's approval"
