MO PERMANENT CENSUS BUREAU
WANTED.

The New York Herald says: Superin-
tendent Porter asks the views Of leading
commercial bodies on the question of es-
tablishing u permanent census bureau.
His idea seems to be that q better com.
p~ilation Of statistics would be secured by
such q change than under the present
system.
This is q virtual confession that the
eleventh census is not so good as il might
be.
That is very true, but the reason is to
be found, not in the system. but in the
execution Of the work. II has been
abundantly proved by experience that q
thorough and accurate census can be
taken by q temporary force specially Or
ganized for that purpose. No just COM
plant, for example. has ever been made
against the enumeration Of 1880, taken
under the supervision Of Francis A. Wal.
ker.
The census of 1890 is worthless because
il is inaccurate, and hence not to be
trusted. 1t is inaccurate because parti-
san methods wese resorted to; because
the work was carelessly and incompletely
done, and because an obstinate determin.
alton was manifested not to correct
proved errors of great magnitude.
To prevent such abuses ii is not neces-
sary to establish q permanent census be-
reau, which would be q source OF need
less extravagance and other evils. A far
better thing for Congress to do would be
to order q new census taken in place OF
the worthless one now under way.

A decision just rendered by the Mas
sachusetts Supreme Court afford another
illustration Of the uncertainty Of divorces
obtained in States where the sPplieansi is
but a temporary resident.
Leaving his wife 10 Massachusetts, q
man went to California and got a divorce
alleging the six months residence re-
auired by the law Of that State. He then
married another woman in California by
whom be had a On.
In A will case before the Massachusetts,
Supreme Court it became necessary to
determine the legal status Of this boy.
The Court finds that this California dt'
vorce was not valid for the reason that
the applicant had not been a resident OF
that State for six months when he filed
his application. His FIRST marriage was
therefore not dissolved, and conse-
q~uently the later one was invalid. The
result is that the second woman hnds
that she is not a lawful wife, while her
child is declared to be i~llegitimate. The
hardship is all the greater to bear be-
cause she had acted in good faith. firmly
believing the California divorce to be
perfectly valid.
The case is significant as indicating q
growing tendency on the part OF the
courts to scrutinize more closely than
ever divorces obtained away from home,
and to set them aside if found defective
in any way. Divorce seekers who go to
distant States to sever their marriage
ties cannot be too careful in seeing that
every requirement Of the law is COM

of the Pennsylvania Senator is too well

 to make for the bill,n he said. 1.-The
 Democratic parsy in it's convention last
 June demanded in no uncertain tone a
 new election law of this general assem-
 bly,, and here it is. As far as l am
 concerned personally in the preparation
 of this measure, 1 wish to state that l
 endeavored to discharge my duty faith-
 fully, fearlessiy and with the courage
 of my convictions, honestly to the best
 interests of the entire state, and 1 will
 iugly accept my share of the responsi-
 bllity. This bill may not be perfect,
 but sincerely trust Is so strong and so
 effective that we may never have again in the borders of our state the political
 war cry of a free ballot and Q fair count, Y or that we may never again see grand political party make state canvass with this legend only as it's plat form. This bill was conceived iu the integrity of the Democratic party and has been launched upon the sea of ex- isience with the fondest hope and the greatest confidence that it will bring to our beloved state that peace which pass eth all understanding, and 1 verify be- Iieve it will stand for all time monu- t1tUt lO tDC HubOts ln0hctAy dhN NArNcAA' of the Democratic party of Arkansas.

Senator Harkcy made an exhaus- tive argument against reconsideration, which abounded in Eumor, very much to the delight of the senate and the galleries. Some of the peti- ton signers in his copnty have writ ten him private letters, saying "Go ahead, Harkey."
 Senator Kinsworthy argued for re- consideration, and Senator Sumpter against 1t.
 The vote whereby the bill passed was reconsidered.

 organized that every senator elected | to the legislature voted. On motion of Senator Williams the vote whereby-the bill was ordered to it's third reading was reconsidered, and. .on motion of Senator Clarke, the bill was referred to the committee on finance for perfection. On motion of Senator Clarke the rules were suspended and house bill No. 240, the election bill, was read the first and second times and made the special order for tomorrow.

 Senator Crowley suggested that It IS

 washburn Is opposed to any bill at this

 Ser ator Harkcy for the first time IS in
 accord with the senator from Scott, Mir. Was hburn. He had mapped out big
 speech to deliver, but the senator rom Scott had sto en his thunder. Senator Sumpter is for this bill be- cause it allows the local merchants to send out their goods and exchange them for chickens, eggs, butter, hides and other country produce. It encour- ages the production of these farm arti- cles for market and gets them 10 l market.
 Senator Morton thinks this bill in the | right direction. It helps the small mer- ] chant, the barter merchant and the | farmer as we'll.
 Senator Erwin IS against the bill be- ] cause it lets in aliens. These tramp 1 peddlers csn come in and make pock' l full of money untaxed, then pull out with it, leaving the country that much poorer.
 The bill failed to pass. Ayes, 13; nays, IF.

 On motion of Senator Clarke, Senator | s. H. Davidson in the chair, house bil l 240, the election bill, was read third time and put on final passage. Senator Clarke moved that the previ- ous question on the passage of this bill
 be called at 3 80 this pm. Senator Miller is against choking of l debate. Let every member he allowed
 to talk as long and loud as he may l choose.
 Senator Clarke stated that the passage of the bill is certainty. It's friends do not care to debate it. The motion to | fix the vote on passage at 3 80 is to give the opponents of the bill chance to | talk. It is an act of courtesy to them. Senator Bell claimed that the motion
 was an attempt at gag rule, and he is | against choking anybody. | Senator Williams stated that the only object of the motion is to fix time certain for the vote to be taken. It is
 not to gag anybody, but that the sena- 1 tors may know when the vote shall be taken. If there is any other hour that
 will suit the opposition better, the friends of the bill are perfectly willing to fix it at that hour. Senator Sumpter said tbat his feelings were broad and liberal He is willing
 to fix the time at any hour or on any
 day that will suit the opposition, within & reasonable time.
 Senator Washburn spoke at length against what he deemed gag rule, and took occasion to denounce the bill as infamous and undemocratic. On motion the senate took recess till pm.

 The house reconyened at p. m. yes- terday.
 House bill No. 241, introduced by Mir. Dickinson, to inclose certain lands In independence county, was read second time and made special order for Mon- day.
 Mir. Evans presented memorial, ask ing congress to donate to the state the arsenal grounds on which to locate an industrial reform school.
 Mir. Jones, of Pulaski, thought it would be a disgrace to establish a school of that character in the very heart of the city. It would be like building another penitentiary in Little Rock. He moved that the memorial be indefinitely postponed.
 Mr. Evans spoke in favor of the mem oria'. He thought an industrial reform school was just the thirg needed in Ar kansas The people were crying for it. MT. Williams, of Yell, argued against the memorial, taking the ground that the establishment of such school would benefit the few at the expense Of the many.
 Mir. Woolfork moved to amend by substituting the word olphan" for reform" The amendment was adopt ' ed and MT. Jones withdrew his motion
