sion OF hypocrisy would do more good than
discussions over alleged heresy. And an in
crease in charity would make criticism more
palatable. There is an amount of good to

so various that there is ample room for all
efforts to hasten the millennium without the
indulgence of the doers in the prevalent
treading on one another's corns.

SUPERINTENDENT POTTER, of the
Census, is apparently trying to make the
Census office a permanent bureau by de-
monstrating its efficiency in consuming
time and money for the production of
statistics. A permanent bureau of statistics
could be made an extremely useful institu-

upon the capabilitv of its management, the
