at the proper hours delicious dinner, and
afterward luncheon and supper. Customers

booths, where pretty girls talked up the
qualities of their goods in thoroughly pro-

Ancient Literature.

The INDEPENDENT, in common with
a number Of our citizens, last week,
received copy Of the census of 1880
sent by particular request of
Senator Stewart. 1t is little ancient,
to be sure, but then 1t is very valuable
especially in a newspaper office. We
have not had time TO dive into it's
mnsty pages as we ought to, perhaps,
but when we do, we will, OF course,
give the public our views on the
matters therein contained. The
truth is that just now we feel more
like cussin9 the sender of the trash
than we do Of thanking him.
But, then, everything considered it
is all we can expect q California Sem
ator to send to his constituents in
Nevada. He thinks, perhaps, as the
majority OF the people Of Nevada on
the order or the Southern Pacific r,
r. Co, we're ignorant enough to elect
resident Of California TO the y. S.
Senate from Nevada, that the same
mental and moral blindness affllcts
those who opposed him and that they
cannot tell the census Of 1880 from
that of last year. Perhaps, when our
other Senator from New York gets TO
Washington, he may placate his Ne
vada constituents with the latest CEN
sus. We shall live in hopes OF receiving
a copy Of the Census of 1890 some
ti.Ae before the year 1900.

INTERESTING STATEMENT
A Census Bulletin Issued Upon
the Debts of the
World
The Nations of Europe Show
Marked and Immense
Increase
Debt of the United States Was
Decreased More Than
Half

WASHINGTON, May l2-The census
bureau has issued bulletin upon the
debts OF the world. As far as can be as
certained the debt of foreign nations In
1890, less sinking funds, was s25, ,G36, orc, 600,
an increase over 1880 81 s2,154, SOB G55.
The debt Of the United States for the
same time shows decrease Of 81 ,OO9, %
$4,000, or more than half Of the debt of
1880. The increase Of the debt OF the
states and territories for the ten years up
TO 1890 was SCI, ,2l9O00. In the same time
the debt Of the counties increased
sll $4,000. Relatively the burden Of the
debt Is far heavier upon the inhabitants
of the principal foreign countries, except
those Of Germany, than upon those OF this
country. While individual fluctuations
in the amount OF the indebtedness of for
elgn nations have been considerable dur
ing the decade, the aggregated Indebted
ness shows relatively but little change,
especially II compared with the Increase
OF the population. Aggregatlng national,
state and county Indebtedness per capita
shows "a decrease from $4,000 In 1880 to
s20046 In 1890. The aggregate surplus Of
another decade like the one just passed
would relieve the country from nearly all
national, state and county Indebtedness,
could they be distributed for that
PURPOSE.
