In view of the quality
Of some of these questions 1t would be
well for the enumerator to be extremely
cautious In some districts of the city,
and to be prepared TO forget to ask some
of the questions in other districts. Some
persons who are sentimentally prudent
and eagerly loyal might prepare a cata-
logue Of their mental and bodily diseases
and prepare some biographical notes
In regard to the portion of their lives
spent In jails, prisons, almshouses and
lunatic asYlums. This would prevent
any embarrassment or delay to the
enumerator In his noble, inquisitorial
and biographical quest. The enumerator,
too, might make some preparation He

a BROKEN lpoL.

One feature of the Samoan bungle has
bsen generally overlooked. There were
so many features Of that curious compll-
cation that some of them necessarily
escaped attention in the universal hodge.
podge Of dilettanti diplomacy.
BY the terms of the agreement, In
which this country gained boastsd
diplomatic victory" over Bismarck, our
Republican President has entered into
voluntary cooperation with two Euro
pean empires, SO establish kingdom In
samoa-assumsd the right to participate
with England and Germany in establish
Ing and maintaining a monarchical gov
ernment-worse still. this administration
has undertaken to bind the taxpayers Of
this country to pay part OF the cost of
maintaining that government.
This Is enough to make Washington,
Franklin. jefferson and Monroe turn in
their graves. It is startling to consider
that this greatest Of republics, this fore
runner in freedom and self government,
this exemplar Of a government by the
people and for the people for all the
world to follow, should participate in
the establishment of a monarchy and
enter into compact with two empires
representing the antipodes, of all that
this republic holds dear, to assist in the
maintenance OF monarchy.
That Is what this administration has
done in Samoa That is what this do
partment of state, presided over by a
squelched politician, who is not a
lawyer, who has had no training as a
diplomat, has done.
James G. Blaine was ready debater
In Congress--mo ready than reliable
he was a magnetic statesman, but he is
not lawyer, a scholar, a student or a
diplomat.
Bismarck is graduate Of the famous
universities Of Germany. He is ascholar
by taste, inclination, education, training
and association. He speaks and writes
all the great languages huently. He
passed stringent examinations In law,
in political economy, in the arts and
/ o9A@hopot Az - AbAA1btnadAJ w say Wnht
sort Of man Bismarck is. He stands,
one Of the few conspicuous statesmen OF
the world.
Strange TO say, Mr.. Blaine has not
set his foot upon the FIRST rung Of the
ladder which Bismarck has climbed.
Mr.. Blaine has no profession,
is not scholar, not a
linguist, never attended any lectures,
never proposed or advocated any leglsla-
tion. He is simply ready debater and
a magnetic statesman"
This is tho reason he has blundered
this IL why he has been squelched by the
smallest President who ever sat in the
Presidential chair this is the reason that
we are in the predioament Of setting VI
and guaranteeing the existence Of 1
monarchy; this is the reason why the lido
Of the Republican party Is broken this
IS the reason why we stand humiliated Al
we look at the inconoelastic effects of
real affairs on the man, who out Of al
office he is incompetent 10 fll, boasteS
that he had SO vigorous foreign policy
to exploit.

Stanley. while still in Africa, WAS telling
Thomas Stevens, the correspondent OF
the New York World, that he was never
at his ease In the company Of woman,
and could not sit still moment when
anything that approaches love comes on
the tapis. Yet it seems he was even
then betrothed to Miss Dorothy Tenant,

known figures in the literary and artistic
society Of the great city. This is one OF

REFERRrNe to the necessity Of protec-
ting the flag the super loyal New York
Press says
There should be an absolute prohibition
of the display Of any rival to it. The
Lee ceremonies at Richmond tell why.
There cannot be two loved emblems In
the land II all the people are loyal to
the Government that is represented By
one flag.
It is amazing how long the fright Of
the din OF battle lasts to hero who
fought as a sutler and who draws pen
sion for being hit BY demijohn while
playing in camp after ths war wei
over. The Press fears that the
people Of Richmond are inauguratinl
another Bull Run. The Pres
should try to be calm. it could not be ex
pected to exhibit any sense or courage
The people of Richmond would be readie
to protect the flag from any real danger
than those SUPERFICIAL people who are b
full OF false professions of love for tb
old Hag and its accompanying appropria
tion The Greeks had proverb sayin
that god should not be brought upo
the stage unless there is something for
god to do 1t is the same with heroe.
A man who boasts of loyalty Is general

Ii an article in the Forum, Senator
Carlisle says;
1t is not the wages of labor ia this
country that increase the cost Of produc-
tion All reliable evidence shows that
though wages by the day or week are
higher here than abroad, yet the actual
cost Of labor to the employe compared
with'the value Of the product is less here
than elsewhere
Is is easy for candid and intelligent
man to substantiate this proposition
The Manufacturers Of New England are
calling for free raw materials, the
morocco manufacturers here want free
goat skins, the pig iron mea, the copper
miners and the wool-growers want high
tariff duties. Those facts knock out the
whole fallscy Of protectionism. Both OF
these groups of facts show that the
tariff does increase the cost Of commod-

Appius Claudius, a Roman censor, in a
speech delivered by him $50 years before
the Christian era, used the common sense
proverb, Every man is the architect of his

Tipping the wink" generally regarded
as vulgar phrase. is TO be found IN a
grave historical romance. Ii occurs in
''Valerius, a Roman Story" by John Glib
son Lockhsrt, Sir Walter Scott's son-in-
law.
The origin of the phrase, 81 can't see it, T"
is traced to Lord Nelson, who at the battle
of Copenhagen was told that a signal was
given to cease firing. SEEKING telescope
he applied it TO his blind eye and exclaim-
ed, Il can't see it.
Not few of the phrases in use at this

Hauling over the GOALS dates six or
seven centuries back, when feudal barons
often used harsh methods of exacting
gold from the rich Jews by suspending
their victims above slow fires until they
paid ransom or died.
The term "blue stocking" was originally
used in Venice about the year 400, 10 des-

with stealing corn. Having sack with
him, he was also charged with stealing
that. His reply was, mo, sir; | knowledge

the following fact: If the mill stream be
low the mill is damned or stopped tbs
water is pended back. and the mill be

the mill will not work, and the miller IS
said to be drowned out"
Corporations have no souls" originated

treatises: Corporations cannot commit
trespass, nor be outlawed, nor eXcommu-
nicated, for they have no souls"
