LET ALL BE COUNTED NOW.

Next Tuesday will zee the work of q
new census of the State begun. It is TO
be fair count this time. and New York
and Brooklyn, suffering from tho inac.
curacies of the Porter enumeration. are
especially interested in seeing that the
men who make the count are aided III
every possible way.
II is essential that both cities should
have at Albany and at Washington the
just share of representation to which they
are entitled and out Of which they have
long been kept. The word for Tue sday,
therefore, and for the succeeding days
devoted to the census-taking is a general
one Stand up and be counted"
Let every citizen make sure that he
and his are on the list. and if there is any
way in which he can make sure that hi,
neighbors are also counted it is right
that lie should do that. too. New Yorl
must know just how big city sho is, and
must mako the State and the nation un
