The Trouble With the Census.

1t is safe to say that there never
were more general complaints about
any public work than that of taking
the census. Every city in the United
States has sent up its howl. st. Louis
thinks the enumeration sc, 900 too low.
Chicago claims bigger shortage. ST.
Paul is left in weeds, and seven census
agents have been seized in Minneapolis
for making false returns i'm order to
keep down complaints there. In
Kansas City the postmaster instructed
the letter carriers TO report all persons
not enumerated, and in one day 10000
names were returned. This plan has
been tried elsewhere and 1t works well,
but there should be no necessity for
calling in help to secure full and conf
plete returns. There Is something
wrong with the service and the whole
system needs revision. To begin with
census takers are required to do too
much. The object for enumerating the
citizens of the United States is to fcrm
basis on which representation in con-
gress may be apportioned. This task
Is very simple; but from time to time
new matter has been injected into the
list of questions, until some of the in
quiries have become Objectionable and
offensive to nine. tenths of the reople.
1t is now family history, with busi-
ness and social statistics thrown in.
All this unnecessary work takes valu-
able time. Then, too, the census taker
is not more than half paid. Ifhe misses
house in his territory it IS oniy a
matter of perhaps 2 cents. His work
is annoying to him as to other people.
and his pay does not Inspire him with
an over-amouut of patriotism. The
next census should be taken on diff
ferent plan. The list should be revised
and the pay increased until it would
be of fair compensation for the work
required Jefferson City Tribune.

Appalling Pension Figures.

Major Carson, the intelligent Wash
ingtoD correspondent of the Ledoer.
and clerk to the Ways and Means Com
mittee, states in his dispatch to yester-
days Ledger that the new pension
bill twill swell the pension roll for the
fiscal year of 1891 to an aggregate Of
nearly $175,000, 900, lift does not exceed
that sum-"
Six years after the war, when Cen
eral Garfield, as chairman of Appro-
priations. reported the pension appro-
priation of s. 10000, 900, he excused the
amount and jrstified the passage Of
the measure, because, as he stated,
that was the largest sum that could
ever be called for to pay pensioners, as
from that time the list would decline.
Now, twenty years later, our pension
expenditures are up to $175,0 100000
with reasonable prospect of reaching
the enormous sum of 5000, ,000, 900.
When Lincoln became President the
entire revenues of the government in
cluding proceeds of public lands, were
less than $50,000,000. Now, twenty
debt no longer oppressive, the expens-
es of the government are over ST. l,000,-
900 each day; they will reach to $780,
600, 900 or $3.50 ,00O,0 next year; and
large Treasury deficit Is as certain at
the close of the fiscal year as is the ris-
ing of the sun.
The question that must soon demand
the sober consideration of intelligent
men Of all parties, is-How long can
the nation bear this strain upon the
commerce, industry and trade of the
country? One year of short crops or
any financial revulsion toward which
We are rushing head-long to satiate the
greed of the silver speculators-would
swing the pendulum in violence from
profiigacy to the side of economy, and
then What would be the fate of $780,

Fast and Loose.

No amount of apparent self-contra-
diction in laying down his doctrines
has ever bothered Mr.. Blaine. Just
now he sees in protective taxes on i'm
ports a beneficial agency utterly at
variance with all the theories and pur-
poses of the protective policy. That is
to say, he insists now that duties shall
be imposed by us with a view of fore
ing other countries to enter into recip-
rocal free trade relations with us. He
asks for taxes on the imports of other
nations only that we may say to them:
admit our products free an~sAe will
admit yours free" This would be lay
ing taxes on imports not to protect our
home market from the evils of free
trade competition, but to secure IL the
benefits and blessings of free trade.
Protection has set up two contradic-
dictory claims and still cIings to both
of Them, asserting the one or the 9TH
er according to the interest appealed to
to. In appealing to one interest it
claims that protection helps our pro-
ducers and raises the wages of labor
and its products in our home market
by excluding foreign competition. In
appealing 10 the opposite interest it
oily claims that protection cheapens
production and lowers the price of our
products at home by fostering home
competition. But Mr.. Blaine, a pro-
pounder of both of these contradictory
theories, now sets up the additional
contradictory claim that the best thing
In protection Is the use we may and
should make Of it to extort reciprocal
free trade arrangements from other
countries and abolish protective tariffs
everywhere.
To this end he asks that tariff pro-
lection shall be given only with
string to it," SO that the Secretary of
State can take it off as fast as he makes
free-trade arrangements with other
governments. He and they, instead
of Congress, would then legisiste for us
on the tariff questioD.-PoSt-D Dispatch.

This latter garden is on upland that

This latter garden is on upland that
was once covered with heavy timber
Any eastern farmer looking on this
soil would say it would hardly grow
white beans, and yet it will grow
white beans and lots of other things in
profusion. 1t seems TO be mere grav-
ell bed and yet there is virtue in it that
seems unexhaustible or next to it.
Where it comes from it is hard to see yet
it is there. Once the timber is cut off, the
ground, if left to itself, begins to send
UP rank growth of ferns that soon
become jungle.
No country produces flowers so boun-
tifully. tits especially the home of the
rose and at this season all the gardens
are glorious with them, and your
neighbor will give You as many for the
asking as would decorate a royal
bouquet.
This remarkable country began to
be settled about 40 years ago, but it is
only just beginning to be developed.
The early settlers got 320 acres each
under what is known as the donation
claim" act,-simply for settling on It..
AS they had no market for many years
they had little encouragement TO make
improvements. The country now needs
farmers more than anything else. 1t
will in time be a country of small
farms, as a man can raise as much
from ten acres here as from eighty in
most parts of the east. He can also
live in climate that is enjoyable all
the year round, the winters being
about like those Of Washington D. c.,
and the summers like those of Montre-
al. He will also, for some time to come
at least, find a home market for all he
produces. G. A. S.
