THE RECOUNT.

Secretary NOBLE, on the recommen-
dation of Supt. PORTER. has ordered
recount of both ST. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. We are no kickers over here, and
will not raise dust on account of the
course pursued by the census bureau.
If there has been fraudulent count or
returns made by the census officials, we
want the proof of it; and, if the fact IS
established, we will insist upon full
measure of punishmentbeing melted out
to the offenders.
Ii, however, it should be ascertained
upon recount, as we are confident it
will be, if the recounting is fairly done,
that the enumeration in st. Paul was
not fictitious. then we shall proceed to
invoke upon Supt. PORTER the anathe
mas of all the fair-minded and justice
loving people OF this country for having
voluntarily and maliciously slandered
an innocent community,
Mr.. PORTER states in his letter to the
secretary of the interior that he has in
his possession the evidence of wide
spread conspiracy to falsify the Mime
apoIis census returns, but that he has
no such evidence relating to st. Paul.
He bases his action with reference to
the latter city solely on some discrep-
ancies between the postal returns and
the final enumeration in one or two dis
tricts of the city. 1t occurs to us that a
census bureau conducted with anything
like system and intelligence could read
lily discover in such case whether
fraud had been committed or not, and
could just as readily correct the mis-
take. But for reasons that we believe
to be of strictly partisan political nat
ure, the census superintendent has
seen fit to besmirch st. Paul in order
that it may stand IN the same light with
its Republican sister up the river.
II there. had been capable man at
the head of the census bureau, there
would have been none of these census
troubles anywhere. If the right sort of
man had been appointed to the place,
there would have beer system and
thoroughness in the work of census
taking, which would have precluded
the possibility of frand. AS it is, with a
BOBBY and an inefficient QUAY striker
in charge of the work. there has not
been a satisfactory census return i'm a
single city of the United States.
In view of the unsatisfactory charac-
ter of the work that is liable to be done
in a recount under the supervision of
an inefficient census bureau, the GLOBE
suggests that an independent census be
taken under the supervision of the city
authorities, which shall be as full and
accurate as it is possible to make it, and
that these returns shall be submitted
for comparison with the federal returns.
In this way, and in this way only, can
we be satisfied that we are not being
cheated. Inasmuch as Supt. PORTER
has seen fitto suspect us, there will be
no harm done by keeping an eye on
him,

lation increased, aside from outside ae-
cessiens, at the rate of per cent per year.
This showing indicates that the erigd-
ual elements that established the nation
are rapidly losing their numerical place.
They do not increase as do the alien in
fusiens. Marriages among the natives
are becoming less frequent, and the
families are smaller. The man who cal
say with one of the speakers in the BE-
publican convention, Thursday, that all
his ancestors came over in the May
flower, are becoming fewer. Perhaps
this relative diminution of the early
stock has something to do with the
growing disposition to form organiza-
tons of the Sons of the Revolution and
ancient blue blood ancestry. 1t seems
to some "a matter of very serious ina
portance to preserve the original stock
in yirile potency. 1t is mostly matter
ofdates. When COLUMBUS was over
this way. AGO years before the Chicago
fair, he saw very few of the ancestors
of the present population. But the old
stock should keep its end we'll up, if
possible.

NOT THE RULE.

People meet with disasters of late
when they are inyery CONSTRUCTED paths.
and some theories have gaps made in
their foundations Recent dispatches
from Wyoming report that a couple OF
lads who ran away from their homes in
the East to find fortunes in the far
West had struck very rich gold mine
after short expl ration. This may be
a good thing for the boys if they don't
lose their heads, and if they grow up
along the lines they started on when in
parental custody. But their big luck is
in violation of all precedents and safe
principles. The boys who read dime
novels, pilfer orchards and run away
loaded down with artillery to become
highwaymen, Indian killers or find gold
mines, should come back soon, begging
their way home and content to settle
down to rational ways. OF course, this
Wyoming case is an exception to all
rules, and should be deprecated. 1t
doesn't often happen that way.

industrious Erastus wiman.

Erastus Wiman probably gets at work
earlier than any other business man of
prominence in New York. He is not
afraid of impairing his appetite for
breakfast by looking over his business
correspondence, and as a rule he has
finished a good share of his work before
the majority of men have starred for
their offices. He begins to dictate the
answers to his letters at 6:30 i'm the
morning in the summer. and at in the
winter. His stenOgraper, who is an
energetic young man, and quick and
accurate writer, calls at Mr.. Wiman'S
house on Staten Island. long be-
fore the. family is astir, with the morn
ing's mail, which is brought by mes
senger from New York. Mr.. Wiman
locks over the mail and dictates the let
tiers rapidly. At O'Clock the stenogra-
pher starts for New York, while Mr..
Wiman sits down to breakfast with the
family. BY the time he gets to his Of
flee and has got rid of the first hours
routine work the letters which he has
dictated-are written out and ready for
his signature. His regular hourfor see
ing people on business matters is be-
tween IL and l, but they are after him
pretty much all day long. Gray hairs
are beginning to appear in the abund-
ant thatch of brown hair that crowns
his head, but they are the only tangible
indications of the result of beginning
the business day at $50 in the morning.

Vienna is spoken of specially notable.
1t is, in effect. an extension of the street
car method to the steam railways. Pas
sengers pay no more for the long ride
in the prescribed limits than the short
est. Were it in use in this locality, the
first zone would take in all points with
III perhaps ten miles, and the fare befhe
same without regard to distance. The
effect of this is to distribute the popu-
lation over a larger radius, and enhance
the value of realty at distance
and reduce that in the immediate vi
cinity. Its operation in the European
cities is to encourage the poorer people
to make homes further out from the
city. Some railroads in New England
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of try
ing the scheme, but it is not in use in
any locality yet.

sTREET GAZE PRoTECYON

A case i'll a Chicago court for damages
on street railway has general interest
in the cities of the country. 1t involves
the question of the protection Of paSSen-
gers from rudenessor violence. In this
case two men claim damages for assault
by drunken passenger. The fellow
commenced to annoy lady, but was
forced by the conductor to desist, when
he turned upon these two men, WHO
sought to avoid him as a drunken
rowdy. But he persisted in attacking
them, and drew a knife, cutting one of
them somewhat. The conductor made!
noeffort to protect them. The interest
in the case will be in the precedent it
establishes in defining the duty Of the
street railway companies to convey pas
sengers in security from attacks by any
parties. The companies will be re-
sponsible for the safe delivery of human
freight.

BLUE BLOOD LOSING.

1t is booming more than probable that
those who have been guessing on the
population of the country from the
earlier tips given by the census officials
will be too high by a considerable
figure. The Ga, 800, 900 will include some
not enumerated. The men who develop
social facts and tendencies from the
statistics gathered are already at work,
and one OF the conclusions reached is
that there is an alarming and increas-
ing disposition in the native stock to
fall away in the general result. Ii is
figured out that the resident population
of 1880 has increased but d16 per cent
each year. Immigration fills the rest.
