The South Atlantic Station.

The Secretary Of the Navy has taken
another step In dispensing the recent con.
gregation Of our best modern ships In
home waters by deciding to order the New
ark. Capt. S1LAs CASEY commanding. to the
South Allan tic. there to act as flagship for
Rear Admiral BEaHAM.
The South Atlantic station is now occn.
pied only by two old wooden ships. the
Tallapooss. Commander J. d. FORSYTH.
and the Essex. Commander A. &. Snow. The
former was in her day even more renowned
than the Despatch for an extraordinary
career Of collisions and groundinRs. At last
she wound up by going to the bottom. but
was fished out and sent of to South Amer
lea to see whether change Of duties might
not put an ond to her mlsadventures. And
In fact she has since led sober and circum.
spect life. humping into no merchantmen
and keeping away from shoals. But while
her last days have been her best in this re-
spect. she has ended her career. having
already been condemned to be sold at public
auction: and she IL now lying at B,ienos
Ayres Tor that purpose.
The Essex, accordingly, is our solitary
ship for duty on the South Atlantic station.
Yet this station. Which includes everything
In those waters down TO Cape Horn. is both
extensive and important. 1t embraces Bra
Ill, the second largest republic In the world
In area. larger even than the United States
exclusive Of Alaska. Not very long ago the
Squadron OF Evolution was ordered from
Europe on account Of affairs In Brazil, and
the need Of naval force along that coast
has been made apparent again Of late. In
Uruguay also there have been disturb
ances which have attracted the attention Of

election Is not calculated to insure quiet.

Why No Permanent Census Bureau 10
Wanted.

Why No Permanent Census Bureau 10
Wanted.
We are requested to take into account the
fact that the proposition to establish . per-
manent Census Bureau did not originate
with Mr.. r. P. PORTER. who announced
In Boston the other night that he had pre-.
pared bill for that purpose. to be intro.
duced at the next session OF Congress.
The following points are made by the
friends OF this great paternalistlc project.
as against The Suns remarks on the possi.
bilities Of perpetuation Of Porterism:
!. Some Of the warmest supporters Of the
permanent census scheme were among the
most vigorous opponents Of PoRTEh's ap.
pointment as superintendent Of the Elev-
enth Census.
z. The movement for permanent Census
Bureau WAS inaugurated by the National
Board OF Trade. at the instance Of local
Boards.
8. The entire work Of agitation for per-
manent Census Bureau has been conducted
by the Credit Committee OF the National
Board OF Trade. to which the matter was
referred. Col. PRICE Of Scranton is the
Chairman Of this committee.
I. On an appeal to about thirteen hundred
local Boards Of Trade In the United States
there was virtually NO opposition to the
idea OF creating permanent Census Bureau
Is q department of the Government.
To all OF this We have to reply that TIE
Sun is perfectly well aware that Mr.. PoR-
TER is not the only advocate of the scheme.
and that many OF those who are urging 1t
In good faith. but. as we believe. with ut.
terly mistaken Ideas as to the proper fune-
lions Of the Federal Government. may DO
opposed to Mr.. PoRTRR personally and to
his methods. We have not supposed or
said or implied that PORTER originated tho
measure. What we have said 10 that PoR.
TER. very naturally. IL among the loudest
advocates OF such an institution as 10 pro-
posed; and that the illustration which
PORTER Ia now afrording Of what is possible
in the way OF census Encouragement makes
tho present a very poor time for paternal-
lists and Agure-hungry cranks to press
their demand for perennial establishment
Of this sort.
This Is very different thing from assum.
Ing that PORTER IL all IN all In the move.
ment. or that the movement 10 PORTER and
nothing beyond. 1t is quite probable that
no DISTINGUISHED friend Of the permanent
Census Bureau idea would desire to see
PORTER or person ike PORTER put in
charge OF such I'm institution. Neverths.

TIERS that get there. II the Hon. BENJAMIN

Our principal objection to tho scheme

the danger that permanent Census Blu

Gen. Boulanger is, it is said. about to pose as
social swell in Brussels. The Belgian govern
ment has sounded NJ. Ribot on the subject, and
the unpopular idol himself has promised to be
good boy and throw over politics. He will
rent the former Austrian embassy from Count
Choteck, and will give himself up to the pleas
ures Of mail coaching and other pastimes OF
the well-to-do section of humanity. We are
not told where the money is to come from for
this costly style Of living, and it would seem
that even the fortune of Mime. de Bonnemain
would scarcely suffice to keep up palace and
stables. Meanwhile Mime. Boulanger and her
daughter still drag ont penurious existence al
Versailles. The general has way Of keeping
all the trufiies and plovers' eggs for himself
Nor do we hear that he has made any effort to
compensate the silly employees who lost their
places through him and his devices. Once, and
once only, he sent q couple Of hundred francs
to distress fund for this object.
