Porter Talks of Census Work and
Debt Statistics.

Boston, Oct. 16.-Census Superin-
tendent Porter talked tonight about the
census before the American Statistical
association. He stated tlfat when com
pleted the eleventh census will make not
less than twenty-five quarto volumes of
1000 pages each. Other utterances
were: The health boomer in our large
cities usually ignores the census alto
gether. This was so in 1870 and 1880 in
many cities. They calmly add 80 or
100000 to the returns. thus keeping
down death rates and let the people
feast Oh the curious talSehoOd rather
than offend them by the bitter truth.
He stated that the printing of the first
four or five hundred pages of the DoDu-
lation volume is about completed, and
will be ready before congress meets;
that four final volumes, relating to spe-
cial inquiries. are going to the govern
ment printing office, and that the
be finished this year. The result
of the direct inquiry as the farms and
homes is not yet complete, it was an
nounced. but that inquiry had so far
advanced that Mr.. Porter was able to
state that the average farm and home
debt of the partial returns from coun-
ties distributed throughout the Union
was shown to be 81, 2SS for farms and
1924 for homes.
Ii these averages hold good for the
United States there is an existing debt
in force of 81, SOC, 900, 0OOon tine farms and
homes occupied by the owners and in
cumbents. Taking up the subject of
farms. homes and mortgages, it was
styled novel feature of the census.
and Mr.. Porter announced that
it had cost nearly million
dollars thus far to collect these
statistics of mortgages, Indebtedness of
individuals and private corporations
throughout the United States, and that
it would take 100000 TO finish the
work.
In accordance with resolution of
the senate, am preparing a report and
bill for a permanent census bureau,
which will remedy much of the decen-
NAL census trouble and put great pub
lie work Oh business basis" said Mr..

Some Serious Charges.

To the Editor of the Globe.
GREEN ISLE, Mimi, Oct IA short
time ago the Northwestern Chronicle,
official organ OF Archbishop Ireland,
contained a correspondence from this
place despicting in plain language the
unfortunate condition into which our
town government has drifted; and the
statements of this correspondent were
vouched for. the editor said by other
reliable persons. l quote from the
Northwestern Chronicles letter:
This town has mayor and trustees, but
no government. / found the streets ali
grown up with weeds,and a few loafers were
around the blind pigs, asst is noted place
Tor them. There are six selling whisky and
beer, and only one of the six paid the license
or $500 as required by law; the other five
rum sellers paid nothing but deal it out as
freely as the one who paid his $500. These
men claim to be good, lawabiding citizens of
