simultaneously on Sunday, April 5. The
whole country is. to be divided up into

course of the-week ending April these
officers will visit every house or tenement
in their districts, leaving with each family
or householder or head of institution a
schedule containing the questions to be
answered. The enumerator is allowed a
week to do this work, as he may have to
explain many things to the people, in
order that every one may understand that
the schedule must not be filled up before
the evening of April 5, that it includes in
formation of ''every living person who

HELP THE BRAKEMEN.

In his message last December President
Harrison said 1t may still be possible for
this congress to inaugurate, by suitable
legislation, a movement looking to uni
formly and increased safety in the use of
couplers and brakes upon freight trains en-
gagged in interstate commerce. The chief
difficulty in the way is to secure agree
ment as to the best appliances, simplicity,
effectiveness and cost being considered This
difficulty will only yield to legislation,
which should be based upon full inquiry
and impartial tests. The purpose should
be to secure the cooperation of all we'll
disposed managers and owners, but the
fearful fact that every years delay involves
the sacrifice of 1000 lives and the maim-
ing of 20, 900 young men should plead both
with congress and the managers against
any needless delay.
1t is now too late to expect that any
thing will be done for the brakemen at this
session. And perhaps other sessions will
also go by without action. There has been
and will be everlasting skirmishing for po-
litical position, but the members of con-
gress have no time to pay any attention to
the wounding or killing yearly of as many
men as are wounded or killed in big bat
tie. 1t is shameful that the railroad COM
panies have not done anything, and it is
shameful that congress has not done any
thing. What is wanted is the adoption of
a coupler which will work automatically
with the coupler on any other freight car,
and which brakeman can uncouple with
out going between the cars. There are
several such couplers. Congress should
give the Interstate commission instructions
to compel the railroads to fit their cars with
such a coupler
