The Coming Census.

The real work of census enumera-
tion will begin June ] the time al
lowed by law in which to complete
enumeration being fifteen days for
the towns and cities and thirty days
for the country districts.
The collection of the statis-
tics of population will be completed
by June 80, and if Mr.. Porter's $
lighting calcuIators work as fast as
he promises the pricipal results will
be known not later than Aug. /.
Very naturally the gucssers are
not waiting for the real figures, but
are making their estimates now.
Assuming that the increase in pop
ulation will be the same between
1880 and 1890 as between 1870 and
lSSO-thirty per cent.-they are
figuring the census at 65,O00,00O.
This is distributed by groups as fol-
lows: New England, 4 ,OOO, 900; Mid
die States, l5,OOO,OOO; Western
States, 23,5OO,OOO; Southern States,
22,OOO,0OO. OF this total it is esti-
mated that the whites will number
$4,000, 900, and the colored contin-
gent nearly or quite 100000
1t is probable that the cold figures
will reduce this estimate slightly,
but the actual enumeration will place
the population we'll above GO, 900 900,
or about double the population at
the breaking out of the rebellion.
That big country like this could
double its population in thirty years,
fighting long and bloody civil war
during the same period, seems past
belief, but there is no denying the
facts. The Yankees are pretty good
at Dragging, but it takes a wide
awake Yankee with lively imagi-
nation to keep up with the actual
growth of the country.

Cheap Divorces.

Senator Ingalls, is contemplating
a bill which is without parallel in its
attack upon the good sense and vir-
tue of civilized lands.
1t provides that any disabled ex-
Union soldier, who so desires, can
marry, and if the wife should sur
vive, she shall be entitled to a pen
sion of twelve dollars month. II
however, she does not suit him he
can obtain a divorce by the payment
of five dollars.
No one loves the old soldiers more
than we do aud we pay them a
compliment when we say that the
passage of such a bill would be a
gross outrage, in that it contem-
plates making them instruments for
trampling under foot one of the
most sacred institutions known.
The learned Senator might have
provided in his bill for the appoint
ment of nurses to take care of the
disabled patriots with proper remu-
neration, instead of asking them to
take the most solemn vows, which
they do not intend to keep unless
they pleased.-Builetta.

One of the good things done by
the present Legislature was the pas
sage of the bill to regulate the sale
of forfeited and delinquent lands in
the State. 1t has long been noto-
rious fact that land sharks have tax
en- advantage of the laxity of our
laws to acquire fraudulent titles to
large tracts. Their plan of action
has been the very simplest. The
shark fixed on some piece of land on
which the taxes had not been paid
for a number of years. He had it
placed on the land books in his
name, and paid the taxes year or
two. Taxes were then allowed to
accumulate, the land would be sold
and some confederate would buy it
in for enough to pay the back taxes,
securing a title from the State.
This very simple fraud has been
worked time and again in West
Virginia. 1t has complicated our
land titles and produced endless lit
igation. The new law is directly
aimed to prevent this form of theft;
and the gentle land shark that here
after INDUCES in it will have an op-
portunity to repent his evil ways
behind the prison bars.

A victory for the Constitution.

The defeat of Senator Blair's ed
ucatienaf bill in the Senate by a
vote of 81 to 81 removes that pesti-
lent measure from further considera-
tion for the present, if not forever.
In each of the three preceding Con-
crosses the Senate passed the bill,
leaving the responsibility of defeat
ing it to the House. This time the
two Houses are controlled by the
same party, and the more clear
sighted Republican Senators felt that
they could not shirk responsibility
any longer. The House as ut pres
ent organized, might have passed
the bill, and it was not safe to take
the chances They listened with
surprising patience to Mr.. Blair's
interminable speeches, and finally
voted him down.
This is great triumph for COM
mon sense and sound principles of
government. 1t is creditable to the
Southern Senators, whose States
might have profitted directly from
the proposed raid upon the Treasury,
that most of them have stood out
consistently against it. 1t is credi-
table also to the many Republican
Senators who refused to follow Blair
as party leader. But most of all
this gratifying result is creditable to
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, who
has from the first earnestly, stead
fastly and in the broadest and most
enlightened spirit contended against
this unconstitutional, unrepublican,
un- American scheme of centralized
public debauchcry.
1t is not too much to say that
next to the earnest opposition of the
leading newspapers of both parties
and the leading school officials all
over the country, North and South,
the manly and statesmanlike stand
of the Senator from Connecticut has
been the influence that did most to
determine this result. 1t is not the
first time that the country has been
indebted to General Hawley for re-
minding Congress of the existence
of the Consultation of the United
States, as we'll as of the principles
of popular independence and self
government on which the Consti-
tuition and the liberties of the coun-
try must depend.

hon. Mm. .. wilson.

a Washington special to the
Wheeling Register referring to this
gifted son of Nest Virginia says:--
The selection of Representative
Wilson, of West Virginia, as chair
man of the executive committee of
National Association of Democratic
Clubs not only meets with the unan-
imous and unqualified approval of
Democrats, but assures vigorous
prosecution of the important work
entrusted to that organization
President Chauncey Black of the
Association favors through organi-
zation of the Democrats throughout
the country and continual work,
that the clubs utilize their power
and influence to spread Democratic
principles and he has an able and
willing coadjutor in Representative
Wilson.
Black is more than pleased at
the election of Wilson. After a
thorough canvass ot the field it was
agreed that West virginia's orator
and statesman was the very man for
the place.
Mr.. Wilson believes in informing
the people on the tariff issue partic-
ularly. 1t means, too, that West
Virginia will receive due attention;
that nothing there will be permitted
to so by default so far as the De-
mocracy is concerned, and it is nee
essary now that the West Virginia
Democrats shall cooperate with the
National Association and with the
Congressional Committee as pre-
paratory to the fight for Congress
next fall. Democratic headquarters
will soon be opened in Washington,
and every inch of ground will be
fought for.

Making ThemseIyes solid.

MS hepuDllcau administration Is
engaged in very peculiar business
at the present time, namely-mak-
itself solid for all time to come.
Every branch of the government IS
being worked for the perpetuation
of the Republican party in power,
and the situation is an alarming one
to those who believe that it is un-
safe to haze one party SO firmly in
trenched that nothing short of a
revolution will oust it. By the
admission of the new States last
year and the subsequent stealing of
the two Senators from Montana,
with the prospective admission of
new Republican States in the near
future, the United States Senate is
and will be for years completely
controlled by safe Republican ma
jority. 1t is solid In the House
of Representatives Democrats arc
being turned out without any pre-
tence to justice, and good, safe
working majority is already posses
sed by the other party. With this
majority to do their will, the lead
ers plotting for the future control of
the House The. McComas bill to
prevent redistricting of Congress
ional districts in the States will be
passed. thus preventing the Demo
Gratis from taking any advantage of
State victories, and continuing at
the same time the outrageous ger
rymaudering of the Republicans
These are the plans for continuing
themselves in power in the Senate
and House, and it will be seen that
they are perfectly practicable to an
inscriptions majority. As to re
tanning control of the Presidency,
the Lodge bill looks after that
Congress will pass laws for federal
supervision of elections il the South,
and will, by armed force if neces,
sary, "regulate" the elections so that
the Southern States will YIELD up
their votes for the Republican can
didates or not at all
These are some of the more open
plans of securing the desired end.
Add 10 these the vast sums of pub
lie money appropriated to control
the votes of the beneficiaries; the
privileges and favors conferred upon
the great monopolies; the mainten-
ance of laws by which gigantic cor
perations and trusts are allowed to
flourish and grow rich; the appoint
ment Of men to oilice simply for
their political talents-thcse, we
say; will all combine to retain in
power the party to which they owe
their riches and their very cxis
tence.
The situation is serious one, not
only 10 the Democratic party but
to the country at large. The pco-
pie had better hoist the Republicans
of the House of Representatives this
fall, or it it may be II long time be-
fore they have another chance.

A Negro state.

w Weston Democrat.
There is now for the first time in
our political history, systematic
and practical effort in progress to
create new State in which the col
ored race will not only preponder-
ate in numbers, but assert its pur-
pose and power to rule in all the
departments on present Territorial
and future State authority. The
territory selected for this new race
experiment is Oklahoma, where a
large number of able bodied and
energetic negroes are already loca-
ted, and where like self-supporting
members of the race are sent by
agents now travcrsing both the
Southern and Western Safes In
several important centres of popu,
Iation in Oklahoma, the negroes are
now in majority, and it is 40 longer
doubtful that the movement to ere
ate Territory and future State in
which the colored race will rule, is
organized and directed by men who
understand their important mission.
The leading spirit and general
director of the movement to organ
ize a negro State in Oklahoma is
Edwin p. McCabe, colored man
OF admitted ability and sagacity,
and the only man of his race who
has ever been honored with State
office in the entire North. He was
elected State Auditor of Kansas,
although falling behind his party
ticket over 10000 in that strong
Republican State, solely because
Of Republican prejudice against
his color, and he has made an
earnest effort, with every strong
party backing, for the Territorial
Governorship of Oklahoma, but
President Harrison has refused to
award him the honor for the same
reason that made thousands of
Republicans in Kansas vote against
him, viz, because he is negro.
This movement to create negro
State is not undertaken in the hap
hazard way of most movements
made either by the colored race or
for its advancement. 1t is organized
and directed by level-headed men
both white and black, and William
Waldorf Astor promised an en-
dowment ST 100000 Tor a coIored
university, with other liberal con
tributions reaching 100000 for
buildings. Only able-bodied and
energetic negroes, with resources TO
sustain themselves tor one year, are
invited to cmigrate to Oklahoma,
and it is reasonably certain that the
new Territory will soon be domina-
ted by the best representatives of
the colored race that can be gather
cd from the South and West.
The race question is grave and
serious, and many of the brightest
minds OF the nation differ upon the
subject. However, we do not see
therein anything alarming over the
the prospects Of negro State. 1t
is true, it is only ancxPeriment, but
we are rather inclined to welcome
it. If they 20 there to work and to
govern, and not to agitate and play
as decOys for Republican politicians,
they may succeed.

The steal by which the two SEN
ators of Montana are to be seated
is about consummated. The Re-
publican majority of the election
committee have reported in favor of
seating Sanders and Powers. The
unseating of Democrats elected to
the House, and the seating of Sena-
tors not legally elected, will give the
Republicans a short-lived lease of
power, which will be remembered
by them with chagrin and regret
after justice sweeps her temple and
restores to the people the scepter of
rightful authority. Partisan cupid
ity can not always trample on the
rights of legally elected representa-
tions of the people.

The sugar trust has just declared
a dividend equivalent to 30 per cent
year The Big Four dressed meat
combine of Chicago made profit
OF % per cent last year. The sugar
trust has the fullest protection that
the law can afford under the guise
ofa protective tariff. The beef com
bine is the veriest monopoly in the
country, and its enormous profits
are made under the protection of
law also. Here are facts for farm
ers 10 think about, to talk about and
if possible to comprehend. The
farmers are groaning under the
loads they have to carry.
1t is statistical truth that the net
earnings of the farmers of this coun-

combines and trusts with the law
and a protective tariff to help them
along manage to exc out a misera-
bic 80 per cent profit year, while

possible affiuence of 3 per cent.
