NOW FOR a TRUE CENSUS.

Mr.. p. T. Woods, a special agent Of the
census bureau. arrived in Helena last
night under instructions to make an en-
tirely new recount OF the population of
the city. The first enumeration was SO
obviously inaccurate and incomplete
that it has been set aside and the work
will all be done over again under the
competent direction of Mr.. Woods, who
has had long experience in statistical
work. MI. Woods proposes to put a
sufficient body Of enumerators in the
field to complete the count in two days.
Beginning next Monday, he expects to
finish his task in two days. The re-
enumeration will cause little if any in
convenience to our citizens, and we
trust every man, woman and child will
cheerfully cooperate with the enumera-
tors in order that the count may be
quickly, easily and accurately made
By the census now taken the city must
stand. It will be final.

New YORK is to try new system OF
registering real estate titles which will
be watched with interest by other cities.
On a complete map of the city all the
blocks are laid down, each having per-
manent number, and the map being
again subdivided into sections. Another
provision consists Of index books. At
the head of each index of block there
will be placed diagram of the block,
under which will be entered references
to the book and page of the recorded in
struments. This method will largely
simplify real estate transactions, and Mr..
Dwight H. Olmstead, to whose efforts
the reform is chiefly due, believes that it
will go long way toward securing re-
suits that will make it possible for the
owners of real estate in New York to
convert it into money with the same
facility and freedom from expense as
personal assets are converted, and tc
borrow money on it at the bank or else.

cities and prosperity to the cultivatorf

and higher wages to the workman.

THE REPUBLICAN CAT FIGHT,

Anaconda Standard: 1t must be remem-
bered that Montana democracy had no hand
in instigatine the Silver Bow quarrel, nor
has it sought in any way to promote or pro-
long the strife. We do not remember that
any daily democratic newspaper in Mon
tana has made the slightest discourteous
reference to Mr.. Mantle, either when he was
candidate in Helena or since that time.
His critics were republicans. We do not
recall line of criticism on Captain Couch
in any democratic newspaper in the way of
comment based on his conduct at Helena or
elsewhere, or drawn from the fact that he
happens to have political convictions of his
own. 1t is the republican press that has
assailed him. The men who were sent
under fraudulent title to Warrington are
offensive chiefly to republicans-it was
matter of indifference to democrats which
pretended party was sent: the historic fact
is that the republicans sent the worst they
had. The Hammond contingent has beer
rejoicing all these months, not because
democrats were barred in Washington, bu
especially because Mr.. Mantle was defeated

ing ways and means, people are apt to
make a mistake. They 60 on q theory
that il you get the manufacturers you
get the workmen. This is placing the
cart before the horse. Workmen bring
manufactures, not manufactures work
men. To state it in another form is
this: You must convince the workmen
rather than the manufacturers, and you
can only do so by providing an equal
living at a less, or at least an equal out
lay. Manufacturers have learned to be
interested in the cost of living to their
employees. 1t directly affects the wage
question as we'll as the quality of the
labor itself. The best and most skillful
labor always remains where living is
best and cheapest and where the most
money can be saved. Expense to an
employe means expense to an employer,
and the employer knows this and wisely
refrains from going where his men won't
follow him. There is no business sense
in his doing SO. Speaking generally, a
manufacturer could name dozen cities
where, as far as sales, shipment and the
disposition of his product, as we'll as the
acquisition of raw material is involved,
he would be as we'll off in one as in the
other. In figuring his probable profits
there is only one other quantity in the
equation, and that is the price Of labor;
something which will always be deter.

ness, as the case may be-" There is Q
deal of truth in these remarks. The
community that looks to manufactures
to give it growth and prosperity must
see that it offers the best conditions tt
both capital and labor.
