Such resolutions should, however, give

Gratis can afford to be misrepresented and
misunderstood if the city will gain by the
course which they pursue. The
commercial growth of the town
is such that measures that were
expedient last year may not be prudent
this time. 1t Is hard to run city elections
on a party basis. Democrats will vote
for republicans and republicans will vote
for democrats, regardless of party ties.
Politicians will also vote for men who
have no politics if they feel that they
will serve the city hest. While a lively
election is desirable, it is more important
that a mayor and four aldermen of the
right stamp Shall be chosen than that
either democrats or republicans shall
carry the day. If the democrats were
sure that there would be II good square
contest they would go for il, for they enjoy
"%lovely fighting along the whole line.h
But registration and busy times will both
combine to reduce the vote and not rem
der it a fair battle for either party.
Great Falls and vicinity will before
long be in the hands of the census enlin-
orators. Each enumerator is given a lit
tie district of his own, so arranged as to
contain from 1900 to 1000 people. IL is
his business to go PERSONAL to every
family in his district and fill up The blank
schedules given him by the Supervisor.
He is allowed one month to 10 this work,
if it is in rural parts, or two weeks in case
it is in a city of 10000 or more, the labor
being more easily accomplished where
people live close together. In payment
for mis- services he receives Be for each
live person reported on and &c for each
dead person who has departed this life
at any time during this census year,

day of the following May. The enume-
rator also gets Is cents for each factory
or institution and 30 cents for each farm
visited. An entirely new departure in
census-taking made this time is in pro-
viding enumerators with family sched-
ules" keeping the information about each
household by itself. Finally the COM
pleted schedules are mailed by the EMU
merators to the supervisor, to whom they

as it necessarily is, covers not very much
besides data as to population and vital
statistics. The latter branch of informa-
ton is chiefly interesting as showing the
age to which people live, the diseases
from which they die and the relation of
diseases and deaths to races and to eli
matte conditions.

CHANCE FOR THE NEGRO.

An Organized Effort Being Mad to In
luce An Exodus to tho New England
States.
BOSTON, March 11.-An organized Of.
fort is being made to induce an exodus
of Southern colored people to New
England. The scheme finds its motive
in the lack of suitable domestic servants
in New England and IN the desire of
certain original Abolitionists to place the
freedmen in a condition of civil liberty.
Stillman B. Pratt says the people Of this
section have, within . few years found
mt that the women of the negro race
make the best servants that can be had,
and there is a constantly increasing de-
mand for them from all parts of New
England. The intention Of the pro-
motors Of the immigration movement is
70 have whole families come on-the
women rs servants and the men for
iaborers-and he says the purpose is to
e~olonize them throughout New England
in the same way that Vermont is en-
ouraging the immigration of Swedish
families. MI. Pratt says the local au-
;horities of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont and Massachusetts have prom
ised to deal literally with them, and that
as soon as the proper time shall have
arrived the word will be spoken which
will start q considerable exodus from
the Southern states.
