7RnNc TO OBSCURE THE ISSUES.

The New York Sun gets frantic
over proposed amendment to the
census law recommended by Super
intendent Porter One clause that
particularly arouses its passions, is as
follows
Each and every person more than
twenty years of age, belonging to any
family residing in any enumeration
district or subdivision, aud in case OF
the absence of the head and other
members of any such family, then any
representative of such family shall be,
and each of them hereby required, if
thereto requested by the superintend-
ent, superv sor or enumerator, to rem
der a true account, to the best of his
or her knowledge, of every person be-
longing to such family an the UariouS
particulars required By id,o, and who
ever shall willully fell or refuse shall
be guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof, shall be fined in a
sum not exceeding one hundred dol
lars"
Mr.. Porter seeks to have the schcu
dule of questions to be asked by the
census enumerators left to the discre-
ton of the superintendent and the
secretary of the interior, which is
all wrong, and such power should not
and will rot be given him. The
point THE News desires to make,
however, is that the Sun as the organ
of the dominant element of the Demo
cratic par y in congress proposes to
howl about little things so that useful
and needed reforms will die of inertia.
The Sub and its candidate for presi-
dent David B. Hill do not want the
Democrats to do anything. They
want them to always "cuss" the
republicans and howl about the
Billion Congress. Well, the fifty
first was very lavish with the peo-
pies money, but having taken it from
the people by robber tax, about the
best thing they could have done was
to put it back among the people.
The Sun and its "Davy" don't
propose to stop taking the. money
from the people, and when another
billion is collected, along will come a
Republican cons ress and disburse
it. The Sun can rant about little
things, but the Democratic masses
will not forget that they are being
taxed to support the classes, by gov
eminent that positively refuses to
give them money enough with which
to pay it.

GREENvIILE, Fla. Jan. 4.-Messen.
gers coming by private conveyance
brings news of bloody street fight
Thursday in Perry. forty miles south of
here in which Robert Parker and John
j. Garnet, eX-county judge of Taylor
county, were so badly injured that they
will die.
Walters and William Parker got into
a dispute in front of Garnett's store and
Parker finally cut Walters across the
abdomen with long bladed knife. Wal
ters then fired a pistol at Parker, but
without effect Parker got Il shotgun
and the firing became general. by the
intervention of Robert Parker. brother
of William. and Marion Murphy. both
armed. Walters put three shots into the
body of Bob Parker in rapid succession
and Bob fell dead. William Parker let
go both barrels of his gun at Walters,
but both charges hit Judge Garrett full
in the stomach and he was taken insensi-
bile into the store. Walters snapped his
pistol mt Parker twice while the latter
was shooting at him with a gun. then
ran into a store near by, grabbed cart
ridges from the shelf, when he became
too weak to travel any further and was
picked up by friends. The coroner's
jury in the matter of the killing of Par
ker found that Walters killed him in
self-defense. Early yesterday morning
Judge Garrett died, after suffering for
nearly three days.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, June 2i.-F. G. Logan & Co., to
Duncan. Hollinger & Co.: We have had a
oull and uninte resting wheat market today
July opened at 7sAc, sold at 7Sc and closed Mt
1SAc. The prominent buyer on weak spots
was Pardridge or someone in his interest
When he is out of the market as buyer de-
cline is likely to follow. unless the harvesting
of the growing crop is injured or delayed by
weather All reports we receive of the grow
ing winter crop are of the most fattering
character, In fact some say the outlook is
better than year ago. Gable advices from
the lUnted Kindom and the continent nre
discouraging. Fine weather and the removal
of the Russian ukase on the export OF wheat
all tend to limit the buying for export. we re-
gard the crop OF winter wheat as made and the
securing of it is Il question OF weather. In corn
there have been considerable realizing. and
liquidation. July opened at 4s %c ane closed
greatly improved. But the acreage Is put at
about 70 per cent of an average crop. On all
mand for the low grades for hipment is rather
Slow Hog product is steady. There has been
more disposition to realize but the market is
at a de Zine.
CHICAGO, H., June 21-Kennett. Hopkins &
ported the wheat market today. His enor-
nous purchases during the past fortnight
nawe amazed iS me tfaae ana created an ta Inn
anybody had imagined, or else he is going
long, which nobody believes. The news con-
tinues bearish and when Pardridge quits
buying the market will probably sell
down. After weak opening corn and
oats frmed up and have been held
stronger than could have been expected
especially corn; The low grades are in excess
sive supply and difficult of sale, but the July
clique Keeps that month Mt good premium
and may continue to do so for some time 1t
Is believed, however. that the grading will
soon improve and the market will break down
under heavy receipts Provisions have done
little. the market being dull, but moderately
firm.
CHICAGO. ILL.,. June 2i.--Counselnan & Day
to Cockrell Bros: The grain markets were
decidedly tame today with little buying on
speculation, and prices sagged under the
pressure of sales against actual grain ar
rived in transit. Holders OF June con-
tracts were anxious to unload, especially in
corn, but late futures were In moderate de-
mand to hll short sales. Thus the premiums
on short stuff were lessened, while the mar
ket remained within narrow limits. Closings
were sprltless at tquotations. Packers have
been willing for some) days to sell September
product on the basis of 81 90 for pork, 6ac for
lard, and 1906 for ribs. They have even
shaded these figures somewhat, and on hard
spots have unloaded considerable of their
holdings upon the outside public. in fact,
about all the market would take. We should
not be surprised any day to see savage sell
ing OF overgrown lines on stop orders, espe-
oially in ribs.

SICK TEACHERS.


The Board OF Education Decides They Shall
be "DOcked."
The Board o: Education swolJered through
a business session Monday night Of about
three hours, during which all the members
of the board looked as though they wished
that the business would transact itself during
the torrld term OF the summer.
City Treasurer Bolln reported the sale of
500, 600 school bonds to the First National
bank at premium Of $7,sS9s9 and accrued
interest. ~
The board decided TO have the West
Omaha school buildings moved out OF the
way of the new building.
Bids for grading thel Hartman school site
were opened. l"rio
p. H. Mahoney s. Co.. were awarded the
contract at III centsjpe cubic yard.
MIR. Elgutter introduced resolution to
out the site for the Central school. Adopted.
MIR. Elgutter also introduced resolution
authorizing the architect to prepare plans for
the Center street school. Adopted.
Some dis.dssio arose over a resolution In
troduced by Mr.. ElRutter to allow Miss Will
ber, teacher at West Omaha, pay for four
days when she WAS absent on account OF sick
ness. Mr.. Points, Mr.. Babcock Mr.
Gibson ana others thought that It
would be unfair TO allow one teacher pay for
time when she was absent and not allow the
same TO others,
Mr.. Powell offered substitute to estab-
hsh rule that would allow all the teachers
pay for five days absence during the school
year, upon the approval OF the superinten-
dent. The substitute was defeated and Mr.
