The Enumerator Saw Him.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In your article bearing upon the alleged In
accuracies of the census. 1 am quoted as saying
that had never heard Of a census enumerator
being in the vicinity of Werner station and
Woods Run. The reporter who wrote the
above made a serious mistake, as never made
such a statement to any person. William L.
Morgan is the enumerator in my district, and
he has faithfully performed his work so far as
1 and others In the district are concerned. He
called on me at my home, and filed out his
papers accurately 1t is either case OF mis-
taken identity malicious Misrepresentation
on the part of some person who had aniobject in
misleading your reporter, and l ask prompt
publicity OF this explanation. The DIS
PATCH is doing good work
IN endeavoring to secure complete
and accurate census, which will place Pitts
burg where she belongs. Mr.. Oliver and his
enumerators cannot be blamed for the per-
plexities and obstacles which have grown out
Of the unnecessary questions and peculiar
rules laid down at headquarters. second your
suggestion that the counting of noses" be
placed In the hands of the War Department, or
some system which will insure accuracy.

opponents. In the evening before starting for
home the prizes were awarded. Presentation

no time in making the woods ring with nne
music and frequently they were encored.

Bradley, County Commissioners Mckee and
Mercer, Sheriff McCandless and Cyrus Gray,

THE SENATE rARIFR BILL.

The report by the Senate Finance Com
mittee yesterday, of its new tariff bill, shows
that the leading Senators are disposed to in
sist on prescribing Republican policy in a
manner which bids fair to precipitate trial
of strength between the two branches of
Congress. The first intimstion of this con-
fiict came on the pension question, which
has been compromised. The silver bill en-
phasizes the difference of opinion; while the
tariff question, although the differences may
not be so radical, is sure to produce the most
complicated dispute.
The theory underlying the. Senate tariff
measure so far as any principle governs
those conflicts of interests, is distinct from
that which has shaped the House bill. Mr..
McKinley's theory is avowed with practical
plainness to be the protection by prohibitory
duties of industries which can supply the
home demand for their products The Sen
ate bill, on the other hand, regards protee-
ton as a regulation of prices and, in some
degree, prevention of trusts. Thus the re-
duction of the duty on steel rails to 81 20
per ton would probably not permit iT porta-
tions of foreign rails at present prices; but
if the English price should go down or the
American price go up, the foreign supply
might operate as chec!- on the American
markets.
There is something of an effort apparent to
apply this principle eofemasculated protection
to some portions of the tariff bill; but in The
main the changes are in the nature of the tub
70 the whale. The result is a hotch- potch, and
In many respects, a reduction Of the measure
to mere log rolling. The addition of three
tenths of q cent duty on the low grades OF
sugar fit for consumption is not very great
burden; but it is levied Palpably in the in
terest OF the Trust. The six-tenths cent
duty on refined sugars is sharp reduction
from present rates, but it is distinct falling
of from the very gratifying and radical
stand of the House bill on the same subject.
The Senate might have done better to
have adopted the principle of Di1Gh in
"Uncle Toms Cabin" who, in sarcasm at
people who were "neither white nor black, "
declared: 81 likes to be one or tudder. E"
The Mckinley and Mills bills are positive
in their character; the Senate measure is an
unsuccessful attempt to be both free trade
and protection, with the result of being
neither.

As to the strike of the PIttsburg, Virginia

PEOPLE who make charges against pub

sure of their witnesses. Kirk, the man who
recently asserted that Congressman Springer
tried to levy blackmail out OF a claim which
Kirk was urging cited as witness one Jones,
whom, it is intimated, Kirk supposed to be
absent in South America But Jones turns up
in Illinois, and instead Of corroborating the
story denounces It as false in every particular.
There is reason to believe that Kirk will not
cite any more witnesses unless he has seen
them of in the steamer with his own eyes.

After Wives. Not sweethearts.

To the Editor of The Dispatch;
Your correspondent in Tuesdays paper says
that when the line of the Bald Eagle Valley
railroad was surveyed the engineers took the
privilege of naming their stopping places after
the names of the ladies who were to be their
wives. The oldest residents of that locality
would have told him that the names Of the sta
tions he mentioned were the names Of furnaces
that occupied those Sites and named in honor
of the wives of those that built them. Hannah,
Matilda, Juliann and Martha furnaces are IA
miliar names to those of us who were residents
OF that section of country so or more years ago.

At2 o'clock this afternoon the members of
the Handel Musical Association, ladened with
suggestive baskets and boxes to say nothing of
the bottles-of pickles and olives-will repair
to the private grove of Lawyer Marshall, on
the Perrysville road. and enjoy regular old

numerous intervals of rest in the multitude of
hammocks suspended in the most shady spots.
After o'clock supper Dancing in the Barn"
will be enjoyed literally. and will not be con-
fined to the one dance bearing that name that
has been such q successful fad In some OF the
larger cities the past season, but will embrace
all the ancient and modern steps known TO
lovers of the light fantastic. Prof. Amos
Whiting, the director OF the club. though past
the dancing age, will lend the dignity of his
presence to the grand march by leading 1t and
be the Mikado of the occasion.

A Census Suggestion.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
see from THE DISPATCH that the census
enumerators say that during their canvass
many people were absent from their homes,
hence the guesswork delay and omission re-
ferred to from all parts of the county. Why
not shift the time for gathering returns. Dur
ing the fall and winter months people who
have permanent abodes are generally at home.
Not much fitting is INDUCED In during the
winter and If noses were counted in November,
December or January, the task would be much
easier and the work more accurate; provided,
of course, that lot Of silly questions were not
put TO the people.

IT is interesting to observe in the es-

President Harrison against free coinage Of
silver had put that movement In the Senate

in time to have the Senate on the same day it
was published, pass the most radical free
coinage measure on record. There is reason to
fear that our cotemporary's relations as an
organ are out of adjustment.

age case Of the State versus Terry Chambers.
The Judge sustains the lower court in con-

show that Chambers had broken the original
packages and was selling in quantities to suit
purchasers.
The opinion says that the right OF citizen to
import intoxicating liquors into the State and
the corollary.right of the importer to sell the
goods thus brought in is no longer contro-
yerted question but holds that the goods must
remain in the package in which they were I'M
