How's THIS, MIR. PORTER ?
A New York Paper Uncovers Cen
sus Bureau Scandals.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-rhe Suns
condition of affairs exists in some of the
departments of the census bureau. The
Sun goes on to say: 1t would be i'm
possible to enumerate all the abuses
perpetrated, but one or two samples
will furnish good illustration of the
whole. In one of the largest of the
divisions, situated OH one of the floors
of the Ninth street building, veritable
reign of terror exists. The chief is
man of notorious character, and the
assistant is his companion i'll evil
doing. A few weeks ago there were
Imported into this division from
neighboring city two notorious women
of the town, who were placed in charge
of the work performed by clerks whom
the chiefs were anxious to get rid of.
The conduct of the imported clerks Was
so scandulous, and especially with re-
gard to their relations to the chiefs, that
three of the ladies rebelled. They re-
fused to be insulted further by taking
assignments of work from the ''vile
creatures" as they called them, and the
result was that they soon found their
services dispensed with.
There was still one lady in the Office
whom the chiefs feared, because they
knew her to be aware of their improper
conduct. She is woman of the highest
character, a member of one of the best
families in Washington, and an ac-
quaintance and friend OF the most
worthy people, including the wife of
the superintendent of the census.
Being unable to rid themselves of
the presence of this lady without
securing her discharge, the chiefs COM
menced a systematic attempt to ruin
her character. Intact, they endeavored
to put into effect boycott against her.
They went to the lady who had immedi-
ate charge of her office work and that of
other clerks, and represented her to be
a woman of the vilest character, with
whom no decent person should associ-
ate. Their cOwardly attacks did no
harm, because the high character of the
woman they assailed was too well
known, but they succeeded in starting
a row that may end seriously for them.
Last winter a chief of division in the
census Office was turned out of well
known boarding house because of the
scandal created by her conduct, but the
women recently imported, and the men
responsible for their employment. and
the insulting treatment of the respect
able clerks in the office, seem to be far
more worthy of punishment than she.

PLEASANT FREAKS

This is freakish season in several re-
spects; not, however, the cratic sort
that eXcites disapproval in this part of
the world. The crops that failed over
the water are found in the American
harvest. After an August frost scare
for the corn, in the latter part of Sen
TENDER the children in the public
schools are turned out tosee the unprec-
edented corn-ripening weather in that
period put the finishing touches upon
the splendid grain that the hungry rye
eaters over the water need so much to
know the value of for food. The short
ness of their inferior article NAV be
valuable educator to them this year. and
prepare them to be important Gus
toners in the future. Be that
as 1t may, the heated term has
done magnificent service in ripen-
ing the corn, and it is now out of all
danger. The volume OF this crop is all
most beyond conception. Try to think

THE SULTAN STUNNED.
Rich and Fertile Arabia May Be
Lost to Him.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The news of the
capture of Sana by the rebels is, says a
Constantinople dispatch. almost a stun
ming blow to the sultan. who for weeks
past has been plunged in anxiety over
the situation in Arabia. Western Euro
peans are not capable of approaching
the sultan's feelings on this subject, but
to him the fate of Arabia is of more i'm
portance even than Constantinople.
His anxiety regarding this matter is SO
strong that it has nearly driven him in
sane. Sana is the key to Yemen, and
the loss Of it is almost an overwhelming
blow to Turkish supremacy in tn at rich
and fertile province, and may lie d to
the loss of all Arabia.
That country now contains several
emirs who ignore the authority of the
Porte, and ifsthese should unite against
Turkey the sultan would have difficult
war on his hands. The Turkish troops
in Yemen went there without provisions
or money, with orders to live OH the
country. They won some success at
first, but. probably disheartened by
their own condition, they appear to have
lost ground. Should Arabia be sep
arated from the Porte, the religious pas
sion that such an event would excite
would, In the opinion of Europeans at
Constantinople, imperil the life as well
as the throne of the sultan.

terry is. concerned about the re-
suit of its home fight for exist
ence, and not greatly disquleted over
unfriendly measures emanating from
Washington. Probably there has been
some reduction in the volume of bust
ness. but in all the cities the patrons Of
the institution find convenient channels
for continuing their investments, and
they are vast number. Those most
vehement in denouncing lotteries and
all gambling schemes are often among
the most regular ticket buyers. The
speculative spirit is wonderfully per-
vasive. 1t bets on horse races, the
future of wheat, takes chances in re-
volving wheels at the state fair, or
quietly hands to the ubiquitous agent
the dollar or two each month for the
Louisiana lottery. If the voters of
Louisiana accept the bride Of
million and quarter dollars per year
and vote the renewal of the charter next
April, the keepers of the octupus may
laugh at the prophets who have been
presaging its collapse. There is no in
dication of weakening in its fight, and
the recent split in the Alliance of that
state adds to its chances. which seem to
be very good. From the protection
standpoint it has many points of SINH
larity with the fayorites of that system.
1t enriches those who sustain the prop
er relations to it. and >robs the many
who become its victims. 1t is home

men at good wages, and adds to the

prosperity it is believed to be impartial.
One man is about as certain to draw a
blank as another. There is one differ
ence from other classes of protection;
no one is obliged to pay it any tax, while
the man who wears wooden clothes, has
glass in his windows or tin on his roof,
has no way of escape from the filching
hand of protection. The lottery is con-
denned as morally wrong. The pro-
tective principle, as illustrated in the
present tariff, has the same texture and
fiber. 1t robs the many for the benefit
of the few. What more does the lottery
do?

LIKE THE LOTTERY

1t is assumed that the support given
the laws enacted to induce mortuary
conditions in the Louisiana industry
that has become so obnoxious to the
moral sentiment of the country is hast
ening it to that commendable conclu-
sion. The highest national court and
the legal light of the administration
have indicated the repressiye and gall
ing legislation. The octopus has been
denied all the general privileges that,
like the vivifying rains, come to the av-
erage citizen without regard to moral
complexion. 1t is presumed that the
lack of nutrition thus induced will pro-
mote starvation. Unhappily. this au-

A DUKES BLUSTER.
He Shoots His Mouth in Sensa-
tiOnal Strain.

PARIS. Sept. 22.-The Dix-Neuvieme
Steele publishes dispatch from a cor
respondent in Baden given the sub
stance of a speech. which it is claimed,
was made by the Grand Duke of
Baden at Che close of the recent
maneuvers of the Southwest army. Ac-
cording TO this dispatch the grand duke
said: "Since the last manenvers of our
army the situation in Europe has been
modified. The sacrifices which Germany
has undergone in order 10 guarantee
peace will not be hindered by the
culpable proceedings of our neigh
bors, who are only awaiting prop
itioHs occasion to again open an era of
bloody conspiracy. We must regard
The future with energy and resolution.
The time is near when Germany must
again unsheathe her sword in defense of
her independence against an enemy
who has not learned prudence by
bloody defeat. 1t will be the duty
of the valiant corps of Baden to
support the first onset. to fire the first
shot and to carry the palm of victory
The paper says that the speech has
created great sensation in Baden, and
that while the German press has not
published it, its authenticity cannot be
denied

HIT WITH A LAMP.
a Woman Seriously Injured in a
Minneapolis Row.


Minneapolis Row.
Mrs. ]. Hornbach, who resides on
Eighth avenue south, between Wash
ington and third, Minneapolis, was
seriously injured last night about
1880 while in drunken
row which occurred in her house. She
and several other persons had been
drinking together for some time,
and had all become somewhat intox-
icated when ali alteration occurred over
the payment for drinks. Mrs. Horn
bach, it appears, seized lamp and
tried to strike man known as
Dakota Jimmy" when he seized
the lamp away from her and struck
her lover in the head with it, cutting
quite deep cash and telling her to the
ground. A row enSued which attracted
the attention of Officer Bacon. who en-
tered the house and arrested Jimmy and
one other man. The woman was sent
to the city hospital, where it was found
that she had two wounds on the head
and stab wound IN the arm.
1t is thought that Jimmy" used knife
on her when she fell. Jimmy has been
employed as bartender in Harris South
Minneapolis saloon. The woman will
probably recover.

on dog. Last year was not very
good corn year, and yet the five states
of Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas aud
Nebraska footed up 7O4,OOO,00O bushels,
and shipped 127O0O,0OO out of the
counties in which it grew. 1t is rare
that full crops of corn and wheat are
grown the same year, but that fortunate
conjunction seems to have happened
this time. But, as in the case of wheat,
the corn grower is largely dependent
upon international traffic for the value
of his crop. He converts his corn into
meat, and must have more than the
home demand to make it profitable.
