The Census in the South.

It is most unfortunate that sus- piciop should be cast upon the cen suS in the South by the very meth ods adopted for taking it, but such IS the case. Here are two illustra- tions of the methods adopted: W. E. Webb was appointed one of the supervisors in North Carolina, af- ter having signed this agreement :: This is to certify that if 1 am ap- pointed a supervisor of the eleventh census for the Fourth District of North Carolina, that the Republi- cans of each county in my district
 shall have the control of the patron age and that 1 will lend my influence to that party" The agreement is in the possession of the editor of a negro paper, who published it to show that Webb "has gone back on his pledges" inasmuch as he has not confined his appointments of enumerators to Republicans. La fourche Parish. in Louisiana, had II ,2S2 whites to 1906 blacks by the last census, and 12 enumera- tors were appointed to take the
 census this year. If they were to
 be divided between tine two races in proportion of their numbers, seven would be whites and five blacks. In point of fact only three whites were appointed out of the whole twelve, and, to make matters worse, the reputation of some of the nine negroes Is represented to be bad. This is not the way in which a man who wanted simply
 to get an accurate census would go to work. York Evening Post.

The American Party in Politics.

The course that ought 10 be pur
 sued by the American party seem: to us to be a very plain one. We have been long enough deluded by the hope that one or the other of the great national parties would be- come sufficiently Americanized to give some recognition of American principles in State or national plat forms. They have not done so, for both Republican and Democratic parties in State and national poli- tics are in awe of tue Irish and the Roman Catholic vote. On questions of naturalization, elective privileges of public schools, the protection of public lands. and the prevention of pauper and criminal emigration, both parties are in q most cowardly position. There is, we think, no
 
 hope in this direction, and the only possible remedy is in the calling of an American convention, the nomination of an independent tick ct, and the casting of the votes up on principle in utter disregard of its effect upon other parties. We would nominate, if we had the power, the Hon. John Bidwell, of Butte county, for governor. He is an American, Is competent and honest, and would serve the State honorably. We are not entirely sat isied with the course of Governor Waterman, and are glad that we are relieved from the embarrassment of his candidacy. Our connection with his election and the defeat of a former friend, who was nominated for governor, gives us but little sat isfaction. We find no encourage ment in doing that which party policy alone dictates. The men who compose the American par ty are, as a rule, not politicians; they ask no official perquisites and are in independent employnIents; are self-reliant and fully capable of supplying all the requirement which necessity demands. They compose the class of floating voters; they hold the balance of power3 and if they can maintain a party organi-i zation and keep themselves clear of designing and intriguing members, they can exercise great and control ing influences in the politics of this State. And when it is recognized that there is an American party or ganization, and that it will cast its vote for honest and competent of ficials who are Americans, then it's vote will be worth obtaining, and nominations will be made by the Te nocratic and Rel ublican parties with the hope of gaining its sup port. The sooner such an organi- zation is effected, the better it will be for tie city ot San Francisco and the State of California, and should the vote be small, the mor- al influence exerted by it will be in the highest degree serviceable to good government and beneficial to to the best interest of society," Argonaut.

The Age of Triumphant Democracy.

The other day we quoted in thes, columns Bismarck's recent declara
 tion to the effect that over educa
 ton had caused dissatisfaction il
 Germany, conspiracy in Russia, and
 trouble generally because there are 1 ten times as many people educated for the higher walks as there arc
 places to fill. The opponents oI
 universal education will eagerly seize upon this opinion of the ex- Chancellor to sustain their views.
 But let us look into the matter a little. Bismarck is a man of yes terday. Through his long career he was never in sympathy with the ideas of to-day. He wanted the state to control in religious matters to a certain extent, but finally aban- doned his policy in order 10 secure votes. Again, he tried to stamp out socialism by oppressive laws of such severity as to excite popular sympathy for the Socialists and in- crease their numbers. Here were two distinct failures. The vester- day policy was so obstinately ad- hered to that it resulted in the Princes downfall. Now he ascribes all the blame to Over-education. Undoubtedly, if there had been less education it would have been easier to keep the people of Germany and Russia passive under a despotic form of government, but that would have been disastrous to civilization. The over-cducation sometimes com plained of simply means that we specialize too much and cause too many to drift into a few professions. This Is not over-education; it is wrong education. All this will speedily be corrected by the mate rialistic tendency of the age. Men are beginning to find out that t!scr can win fame and fortune in produc- tive pursuits, while the chances are that they will starve in the profes- sions. When this idea becomes general there will not be less educa- tion, but there will be less special izing in the direction of law, medi- cine, and the so-called genteel occu- pations. College graduates will go to the farm, the workshop, and into other industries, and will be all the happier and more prosperous. Ed ucation rightly directed will not make these men dissatisfied, and it will not drive them into conspiracy, except under conditions which jus tify dissatisfaction and conspiracy. Bismarck's views will not do in this age. They have been tried and found wanting. We live in the age of triumphant democracy, and the only kind of education that need be feared is wrong education.-Atlan- ta Constitution.

There is no reason why farming should not pay, and pay well, throughout this and adjoining States whenever the farmer shall adopt the methods by which the in- telligent farmer is enabled to dou- ble nr treble the low average yield
 resulting from the careless and slov- enly methods generally in vogue ; when the industrial system ofseach farm shall be so organized and di- rected as to dring all it's resources into play and make every day in the year pay its tribute to intelli- gent labor.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

 Don't despise the ignorance of our ancestors of the eighteenth cen- tury. The things we boast ot now will probably be as far behind the times in 1890 as the works and ways of 1790 are to-day. Modesty is the lesson of to-daY.-Inventive Age.
 In q water telephone recently pa- tented in England the apparatus employed for the collection of sound transmitted through water between ships has been improved by con- structing the apparatus so that any pressure caused by the increased density of the water has no effect upon it.
 Ozone is now produced by q new electrical process, the details of which are not given. It is stated that 1t is extracted from the atmos- phere instead of direct from oxy- gen, as formerly. The hygienic and commercial value of the new inven- ton, should it prove successful, can not easily be estimated.
 A locomotive working under q pressure of 40 to 165 pounds to the square inch may move a rail- way train at a velocity of 60 miles per hour, which we are apt to think of as a wonderful speed. But it is slow compared with the rate of mo- ton of a projectile from a modern great gun. Such projectile flies at the rate of 1 1865 miles per hour, im- pelled by pressure of 35,000 to 10000 pounds per square inch.- Scientific American.
 A state grant of S,0OO,O00 marks has just been made for the exten- sion oi the telegraph and telephone lines in the German Empire. Of

 This year is the two-hundredth anniversary of the invention of the tobaeco-pipe-the bowl, the tube, and the mouthpiece.

 NJ. Lannois, a French aural sur geon. has been making inquiries with regard to the effect of the tele- phone on the human ear. His con- clusions are that the constant use of the telephone seemsGto exert no bad effect on the sound ears, but that it is harmful to those which are already the subject of disease, causing impairment of hearing. buzzing, headache, vertigo. and ner- rous excitability. These effects are, however of brief duration, as rule, and disappear when telephone work is abandoned.-Illustrated Ameri- can.
