ENUMERATORs AND THEIR PAY.
How the Accounts Are Made Out and Check

How the Accounts Are Made Out and Checks
Issued-Work of the "Hustlers."
Washington Special to ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The Census Office is now figuring out the
accounts of the $4,000 enumerators who
have just finished their work. The name
and address of each one of these temporary
employees of the government are in posses
sion of j. G. Stoddard, the disbursing clerk
of the Census Office. AS soon as he receives
the necessary voucher and it is approved
by Superintendent Porter he makes out
check directing the United States Treasurer
or the assistant treasurer in New York to
pay the person named the sum due him. 1t
will be some time before any large proper
ton of the entire number of enumerators
receive their pay for their part of the work
of taking the census. The work of de-
termining how much is due to each
man IS one of some magnitude. In the
population division of the Census Office
there is a force of clerks who do nothing
else but determine how much Is due the
enurlerators. The compensation is fixed
by law cents for each name enumerated,
cents for each soldier-but the clerks are
obliged to examine every schedule and
make a computation as to the number of
persons enumerated and the different
classes, and In this way the amount due to
each enumerator is determined. As the
schedules are in the hands of clerks
who are making the count of the popula-
tiOn, and as this work takes precedence
over rything else, the enumerators' ac-
counts have to wait. However, more rapid
progress will now be made with these ac-
counts. and when the work is fairly begun
it il expected that the accounts Of 500

Take No Chances on Losing Their Votes.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Some of the de-
partment employees who are voters In the
State of Indiana have been uncertain as to
their political status as defined in Section
Is of the new election law of that State.
This is an act passed by the last State Legis-
laturs requiring voters to return to the
State and register ninety days before the
election; otherwise their ballots would not
be received on election day. Determined
to obtain the best legal opinion possible to
guide them, Indianians have communicated
with one of the high officials of the
State regarding the matter. reply
has been received, to the effect
that Section Is of the election law is be-
lieved to be illegal, and that the State Su-
preme Court. at its session in September
next, will pronounce it unconstitutional.
A conference of lawyers was held in Indi
annapolis day or two ago. and they, at
that time, were unanimously of the Opin-
ion that the government employees would
not have to return this summer to secure
the auditors certificate, but that it would

was held that every man who was
assessed in the spring of 1889 was
still on the tax duplicates as taxpayer,
because the last installment of his taxes
was not payable until next November. A
taxpayer. either on polls or property, If
not assessed in the spring of 1890, it was
cOntended, could notify his county auditor
of that fact and demand that he be put on
the list before tax-paying time. 1t was de-
clded. therefore. that the employees could
not be crowded out in any way.
At meeting of the Indiana Repu blican
Club, tonight, the provisions of the new
law were explained to those present. 1t
was determined TO take no risks. and every
one who did not know himself to be on the
tax duplicate, and thereby protected in
his right to vote. declared his intention of
going home to register in order to meet the
requirements of the law. Arrangements
have been made for reduced railway rates
for those desiring to visit Indiana to regis

His district contained u number OF hotels
and boarding houses, and did not necessi-

Chicago enumerators returned about hve
thousand names each. The suspicious of
superintendent Porter were aroused by
these large returns made by individual
enumerators. and he sent an inspector to
quietly investigate. The inspector reports
that the showing made by these enumera-
tors was legitimate, and the conclusion is
drawn that they were simply .'hustIers,"
with easy territory to work. Those

Senator Farwells Provision for Establishing

Senator Farwell's Provision for Establishing
the Office of Gapogari.
Washington Special
Who would have believed it possible that
the progressive United States would go TO
backward India for a scien siic idea ap-
plicable to the public welfare'
In certain villages in the Indian central
gapogarl, whose duty it is to make rain.
1t probably will surprise the great mass
of the American public to learn that we
are to establish in this country the Office of
gapOgari.
The provision for the new office occurs in
a most innocent-looking amendment which
was tackled on by the Senate TO the bill
making appropriations for the Department
of Agriculture, where the generous sum of
$1,000 is set apart for the uses OF the forestry
division in making experiments in the
production of rainfall" Inquiry develops
the fact that this is SOBER serious, bona
tide proposal. and that the ex perments are
expected to be made; furthermore, that
forestry has nothing to do with it, but
other similar 1nstrumentalities are to
be employed in the solution of
the problem. Moreover. the reports
from inside of the cOmmittee-rooms show
that Senator Farwell, of Illinois. is the
cause Of his interest," remarked colleague
of his. to-day. may be guessed when it Is
remembered that he was q member of q
syndicate who built the Texas State Capt.
toll. and that, in payment for the work. the
State turned over to the syndicate some
three million acres of land in the Pan
handle region. which, for a large part, is
devoid of flowing water, and which suffers
also from deficient rainfall. The soil of
the arid sections is of excellent 1uality,
needing only q cOpiOus supply Of water to
make it richly fertile"
1t will therefore be the business of DR..
FernOw, the chief of the forestry division,
to undertake the task of exploding the
rain-clords. When approached with an in
auiry thei gapogari-elect did not express
himself elated at the prospect, OF even very
hopeful.
"The subject of inquiry is not altogether
| devoid of legitimate interest" said he but
| in my opinion our knowledge of physical
| forces and meteorological phenomena is
| scarcely yet equal to the task which is set
| before us here. am reluctant to make ex-

From another source it is learnedIthat one

LONDON, July 22-The second battalion
of the Grenadier Guards, which was
dered to Bermuda on account of insubordi-
nation among the members of the bat
talon, paraded at day-break this morning,
and marched to the Victoria railway sta
tion to begin their journey. They were ac-
companied from the-barracks to the station
by twenty thousand civilians. who cheered
them necessarily. The troops proceeded
by rail to Chatham, where they embarked
on the transport lamar, which will con-
vey them to their destination. During the
final review of the Guards yesterday by the
commander-in-chief there were many
scenes of disorder among the men. Those
who had received sentence OF punishment
for their mutinous conduct were especially
recalcitrant. They Dlucked from their
breasts the medals won in the Egyptian
campaign, and threw them across the pa
rade ground. Many military men criticise
the authorities severely for parading the
men at ALL and argue that they should not
have been given an opportunity to exhibit
their temper, but should have been packed
out of the country as quietly and ignomini-
0usly as possible.
A troop ship will call at Portsmouth to-
morrow for the purpose of taking on board
the families of the exiled guards, who are
to follow the men to Bermuda.

longed to a minor party, and their views
could not be taken as fairly rejecting those
of the people at large. The Premier de-
clared that England had been shamefuIly
remiss in regard to protecting the rights of
her Newfoundland subjects There could
hardly be doubt that. looking at the mat
ter from a purely material stand point, New
foundland would consult her own interests

hoped that annexation would never take
