UNIVERSAL DISSATISFACTION.

From every part of the country is
going up u howl. a fierce. wild, indig-
nant howl, a howl that should make

c., the enumerators have done their
work so loosely that the result, IL is
said. shows a population of only 5000,
whereas the censu of 1880 made IL
$500. The same ratio of decrease is
unonicially announced nj Mobile, Ala.
although there is no doubt that that city
has enjoyed a remarkable growth dur
ing the past decade. In New York
city il is stated on good authority that
fully 1000 families have been ignored.
The newspapers of Kansas City have
been printing thousands of names of
persons alleged to have been skipped,
and have made such a fuss about it
that superintendent Porter has tele-
graphed the enumerators of that place
to continue their labors until every
mothers son has been recorded. The
republican executive committee of the
state of Alabama has passed n resolu-
ton that the census of the state has
been taken SO unsatisfactory that a
recount is an imperative necessity. In
the city of Washington itself where
the enumerators are right under the
eye of the census bureau the grossest
carelessness and Irregularities have, il

Tne NEWSPAPER FIELD.

Within "a year the journalistic field
has greatly changed in Montana, and SO
has the states newspaper equipment.
Some of the STANDARDS contempora.

and more comely form, Others have
passed under new management, sew

form and matter and manner, few of
them are what they were "a year ago.
In a number of instances large sums
of money have been judiciously ex-
pended in building up newspapers that
are now a credit 10 Montana and il is a
gratifying fact that, i'm every instance
where the investment has been wisely
made, the ventures have prospered, the
results meeting the reasonable expect
tations of those who have put their
money up. IL takes a fortune
to put "A good newspaper safely
on It's feet. While il is true that large
sums have lately been spent by pub
fishing houses In several cities OF the
state. il is also true that the owners of
some of these properties, and the peo-
pie I'm whose interest the newspapers
are printed, already have something
substantial to show for IL.
The newspaper business is peculiar.
Its scope must he broad yet its bank
account depends for its strength on the
care which the business Office gives to
details which often e petty and
which are usually vexing. The success

make il and equally good men to sell

newspapers in Montana on which
money has generously been spent are
already enjoying the reality of achieved
success. These are surely going 10 he

The troubles that the state of Wash.
ington is heir To did not come TO an
end by any means with the adjourn
ment of her farcical legislature. The
physicians of the state are now en-.
gagged in a bitter and relentless war.
Washington thought that a state med
ical examining board would be "a good
thing and proceeded to create one forth
with. The governor appointed repre-.
sentatives of four different schools of
medicine upon the board, each school
receiving equal representation, and
battered himself that all danger OF pro.
fessional strife and pickering was
thereby avoided. But the electics, the
homeopaths and the physio medicos
have combined together against the
allopaths and refuse 10 give them any
office. II is a bitter pin for the "regu.
lars" To swallow, and they don't take il
without a ~frightful grimace. The pre-
diction may be- venturedt that Washing
tons new-fangled state medical exam
lining board will never see the day this
side of the millennium when il is free
from an awful row.

arate. individual kick coming, 1t is yet
to be heard from.
Much of this complaint was TO be ex-
pected. II was not whiting the range
of possibilities that the enumerators
should not make a single skip In a pop
ulous town. II was inevitable that
some people should be overlooked, and
for every omission of which q citizen
has cOgnizance he is apt to draw the
conclusion that it means a hundred.
His local pride is touched In a tender
spot and he begins to fume and curse.
Yet after making every allowance Of
this kind, it is tolerably certain that in
many cities the work of taking the CEN
sus of 1890 has been simply slipshod.
The causes are easily discoverable.
The enumeratOrs felt compelled to
work in a hurry and IL is a question
whether their remuneration was sufi-
cient. Then. too, the bureau under
took to accomplish too much In respect
to the information it sought to derive.
Its virtual cancellation of a part of its
original questions had a demoralizing
effect both upon the enumerators and
enumerated. The press began to ridi-
Guile the offensive questions, and the
public, a considerable portion Of it that
is, thought the action OF the press was a
for them to ridicule. the whole un-
dertaking.
IL is not all likely that Mr.. Porter
will fill the Office of superintendent of
the census ever again. But he has
learned vast wisdom from the expert
ence of the last two or three weeks,
and il he is alive and well in 1900 he
can give his successor a deal of valu-
BILE advice.

IL Senator WolcOtt of Colorado were
that kind of a man his head would be
sensibly enlarged by the compliments
he is receiving upon his splendid
speech on the silver question in the
senate last week. The Washington
Post remarks that the effort was one
of unusual pungency and strength, and
to those who labor under the traditional
delusion that the new senator is To be
seen and not heard, will prove a verita-
BILE revelation. AS an illustration of
the feeling of the West upon the sub
ject of silver, he remarked incidentally
that only with the expectation of hav-
ing due honor done To silver had the
republicans of his part of the country
aided i'm the election of the present adj
ministration, and that could il have
been known beforehand that n silver
bill was Ia be forced upon the house by
cabinet inspiration, directly calculated
10 debase and demonetize the white
metal. the republican candidates of
1883 would not have carried a single
state west of the Mississippi river.
The talented senator from Colorado
might also have added that the West is
becoming thoroughly convinced of the
inherent hostility Of the republican
party as a whole to the silver interests,
and will make M mistakes in 1892.
