The Portor census is cheat and a
fraud all the way through. We have re.
peatedly pointed out the outrageous in
accureces contained In it's population

papers are constrained to protest against
It's defects in other particulars. The
special California correspondent Of the
New York Tribune shows that the Stats
tics on truck farming In that state are
full Of astonishing errors. For
example, It was stated in
the special truck report that there

Angeles county had $40 acres Porter's

appear to have been regarded

Judge must be thrice elected By the peo-

an endorsement there could be no room

There are few men who are equal to the
duties OF the judicial Office when over 70

the rule. OF course, but there is no reason
why a Judge who has faithfully served
for twenty Ave years and has passed the
age of 10 should be compelled to remain
Va active service on the bench TO earn a
livelihood. AS rule the judicial duties
which were easily discharged at so or even

SOMETHING QuwER IN the NUMBERS
Il AND Z.


Mr. John w Kirk, the white haired vet,
Gran who was with Morse when the first
working telegraph line was stretched, and
who stood beside the great Inventor when
the first message was transmitted from
Annapolis Junction 10 Washington, has
made during his HE great many inter-
eating calculations Ia numbers. The two
most remarkable numbers In the worle are
three aud seven.
"The numeral seven," says Mr. Kirk,
"the Arabians got from India, and all fol-
lowing have taken Il from the Arabians.
II Is conspicuous In biblical lore, being
mentioned over 800 times In the scriptures,
either alone or compounded with other
words. II seems a favorltc numeral with
the Divine mind, outside as well aa inside
the Bible, as nature demonstrates in many
ways, and all the other numerals bow to Il.
The-e Is a'so another divine iavorl,c, the
number lhree,Ihe Trinity. Thi. ls brought
out by combination OF figures that IL

urcs I4s,Ss7.
"MultiPly this by ;, the answer Is asS,7I4.
"Multlplv this by 3,the answer Ia a S.s7I.
"Multiply this by 4, the answer Is s7t,4as,
Multiply this by S,the answer Is ia, ASS.
MULTIPLY this by 6,,he answer Is Ss7,t4a.
zach answer contains the same figures
as the original sum, and no others, aud
three figures OF the sum remain together
In each answer, thus showing that figures
preserve the Trinity.
"Thus ass appears IN the first and second
numbers. sTi In the second and third, 4sS
In the third and fourth. and i4l In the
fourth and fifth.
alt is also interesting to note that taking
out of any two OF these sums the group Of
three common TO both. the other three
read In the usual order, from left to right,
will also be In the same order In both sums.
"Take the first and second snms, for ex-
ample. The group ass iscommou to both.

order. aud lha, the same thing Is true of
the second and third. The last multlpli-
cation has It's groups Of ,hrees the same as
those of the original number, reversed

Examine these results again, and you
will see that In these calculations all the
