OF TEEI
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR ST..

MONDAY, 9Th June 1891, y o'clock noon,
the Colonial Council held an extraordinary
meeting,
The Members were present. The seats Of
2nd and 4th CroWnmembers are still vacant.
The acting ViceGovernor was present.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and adopted.
The Chairman would notify that in the
printed Report Of the Proceedings of last meet
ing an error had occurred, namely that the
Governments Notifications under the Pension
Department had been published as regards
Messrs. Brown and Boye, while the Rectifca-
ton that should have been published was
concerning the pension to Mr.. Skrike; which
error would be corrected.
The Chairman: Before proceeding to the
Order of Day would like to ask some elucida-
tions from His Excellcncy. OF late there has
been a great amount Of Danish silver in oircu-
lation in the Island, and he had understood
that an amount in Danish paper and bullion
had been shipped to St. Thomas and in
exchange our treasury had received Danish
silver. The amount now III circulation is
excessive and the market thoroughly over
flowed with silver for which there is no outlet.
He would therefore beg His Excellency to give
some calculations on the matter.
The Acting TceGOreraOr said he was quite
willing to give such calculations in the matter
as he was able to give. He would then first
say, that it is not so that gold or paper money
have been sent to st. Thomas and silver
received in exchange. At the same time he
would state that Government the last 2 or
3 months had put a somewhat larger amount
of Danish silver in circulation, as there were
about 500, 900 in Danish silver lying idle in
the Treasury the amount was put in %circula-
ton through the Factory. 1t was not the
meaning that the money so put into circulation
should remain for ever among the inhabitants;
it was intended to circulate between the popu-
lation and the treasury. His attention had
already been drawn to the matter complained
of, and he would consider what could be done
to remedy it.
The Chairman thanked His Excellency for
the calculation, and the promise to relieve the
market.
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (BIack,Oood) would say that it is a
difficult matter to deal with at present we
are SO heavily overburdened with silver, that
we can find no oflet for it; the Banks refuse
to take it as deposits; the only way is that
Government will take the Danish silver in
larger sums as payment of taxes
The Acting Vice Governor Something SINH
lar was in his thoughts; in ST. Thomas all
taxes up to a certain amount, are received in
Danish silver by the Treasury; and in that
way the coin returns to the Treasury in a
natural way after circulating.
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (Blackwood) would suppose that
the duties too should be received in
silver. 49, The Vice Gouernor } I'VE must not

nunoreos OF Dollars Spent In LITIGATION
over Dollnr-and-n-IalfP Pig.
Two or three lawyers were talking Of
Cid lawsuits the other day, when one Of
the Oldest members of the Indianapolis
our remarked to 4 Journal reporter:
remember the Perry township pig
case That took up good part of one
term OF court, having come up through
q justices Office. The case was tried, I
'oeilevc, by Governor Wallace, father Of
our postmaster, and there were ut least
Two firms of lawyers on each side Sims
Colley and Thomas Walpolc were in the
case, and, so far as Mr.. Colley was con-
cerncd, he was then In the full power of
his rcnown. The case gave him full
opportunity for the display of his pic
turcsque genius, and the drollcries he
infused into it long furnished matter of
laughter for the bar. Mr.. Colley, how
ever, no matter how absurdly droll he
might become, never lost sight of the
best interests of his client, and certainly
never lost sight of his own in tho shape
OF MS fat fee as it was possible to OH
tain.
Tho question was about the identity
OF shote, continued the lawyer Tho
witnesses on one side sworc it wns pig

ont until it had been put into a
pen, from which 1t was talsen 10 be
slaughtered. The witnesses on the
other side swore that they had known
NJ from the time it was suckling. But
tho great point was the proof Of an cor
mark One claimant, sustained by one
set OF witnesses, said he marked On ear
or tho shotc with his poclsct-knifc, ind
tho cut was explained ut great length
to the jury. The other claimant said
tho mark on the car of his shote was
torn by the teeth of dog. It was at
this stage of the testimony that Il sensn-
tional feature was introduced. Ono
witness, having brought his Testimony
TO IN exciting point, added u climax by
pulling from his pocket picked pigs
ear, which he declared to DO the ear of
tho shote in question This created n
grent uprOar in tho courtroom, rs tho
effect OF this pictorial testimony upon
tho jury could not be measured. The
wltncss with the car was, however,
measurnbly discreditcd, and the case
went on. Medical experts were called
in to testify as to whit tho difference in
appearance would be between q shotc's
car cut with Il knife md one torn
by the teeth of dog. Tho
experts did not agree and tho jury dis
agreed, and another trial was held, tho
second jury disagreeing as tho first had
done. Charges of perjury were made
on each side and q number of assault

TAKING THE CENSUS,

Tho Enormous Amount OF Work Done I'm
Ono Dny.
By the use OF about seventy machines
~ was found possible to declare the por,-
ulation of the United States in six weeks
91ter the enumeration wns completed.
'Ihe work done, however, was cuuiva-
lent to the counting of 125, OOO, 900 per
sons, since it wns deemed necessary, in
order TO insure accuracy, that every
schedule should be counted twice. It
WIS OF course natural that tho rapidity
at which the count proceeded should in
crease as the clerks faniliarized them
selves with the use of the machines.
The record of the most efficient davis
work, says writer in the Chautarouan.
shows the registration of 1 ,34a, SIS falni-
lies, or about 6,711.5oO persons. 10
bring this amount of work within tho
compass OF the mind so rs adequately to
appreciate what it means, requires the
graphic language of tho gentleman who
invented the electric tabulator with
which 1t was done. lie says:
"This means that the clerks handled
about fifteen tons Of population schcd-
ules. They actually turned over sheet
by sheet this mass of paper, scrutinizing
each schedule, often correcting tho cr-
rorfi OF the cnumcrntors and recording
the data on the machines, besides mols-
ing numerous transfers to result slips
and attending to many other details of
tho work. An engineer might indeed
stop to calculate tho number Of horse
power Of physical energy developed by
this clerical force. Or if one can not
appreciate what this means let INC nssle
him to consider stack of schedules Of
thin paper higher than the Washington
monument, and imagine the work re-
quircd in turning over such o pile of
schedules page by page and recording
the number of persons reported on each
schedule. This is what was done in one
dny by the population division of the
Census Office"

THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA.

Notwithstanding the advantage in ia
vor of New MexIca, Arizona, Wyoming
and Utah in point of age, it is altogether
probable that the next new state to come
into the Union will be Oklahoma. II
has already a population of 10000, more
than Arizona contains, 1t promises to
become one of the finest agricultural
states in the Union. Its population Will
therefore be Of the class that makes the
best and most conservative citizens.
The territory was opened to white set
tlers April %, 1889. During the past
year there have already been under cul-
tivation 26, 900 acres. 1t has been found
that all the crops which grow in Illinois
and Indiana viii thrive here, and that
cotton Will do well, too. Besides that
Oklahoma promises to rival in time even
Old Virginia as a peanut state. Several
hundred thousand fruit trees have been
planted, and berry crops of fine quality
are raised in abundance. This summer
$24, 250 worth of wool was marketed
from the boomers territory.
Therefore Oklahoma has already made
her record as an agricultural region.
When certain lands now soon to be
opened to settlement are added to her
territory she will have an area of 49,
1000, 900 acres. This will make the terri
tory almost as large as Indiana. In con-
nectlon with Oklahoma the most inter-
esting fact is that within her borders are
7,619 Indians who are taking lands in
severalty. They will become-are al
ready, many Of them-farmers and will
take their places side by side with white
men and give their aid toward develop
plug the splendid agricultural resources
of this young territory. Their progress
will be watched with interest. If the
Indian can be civilized at all it will be
here. If he can be civilized then be
need not drift out to extinction, but will
mingle his blood with that of the great
current which is making in the United
States a homogeneous people of the
children of all nations.
The addition of the new lands en-
braced IN the strip, not SO well along in
the process Of cession to the government,
and which will undoubtedly be thrown
open to settlement in the very near fu-
ture, will add to the total population of
the territory double its present number
within twelve month-conditions and
facts that cannot but facilitate both the
