LOOKS LIKE SHERMAN,
Although the Foraker Forces Still Profess
to Expect Victory.

COLUMBUS, O., January 3.-While the
impression is general among the impair
tial lookers-on that the result of the
speakership contest must be accepted as
indicating Sherman's denomination, the
friends of Ex-Governor Foraker still
maintain that several Foraker men voted
for Lalin for speaker of the House and
these, with the votes Foraker will get in
the Senate, will be sufficient to give him
the nomination. Senator Sherman S
friends claim tonight he will have ma
jority of not less than Ia votes in the
caucus. Several members of the legisla-
ture are still non-committal.
Lalin's nomination for speaker by all
but the Foraker forces is regarded as in
dicating Sherman victory.

formation-Cost ProportionateIy Less
than that of Previous Enumerations.
WASHINGTON, January 3.-In a report
to the Secretary of the Interior, dated
December 2, 1891, Superintendent Porter
Of the census bureau estimates that the
cost of printing the eleventh census as at
present mapped ont win be, relatively
speaking, less and certainly no more
than the tenth census. This estimate is
based on the law as it now stands. Al
lowing for the amonnt of money unex-
pended, says the report, the per
capita cost of the eleventh census up to
this date has been 97S cents while for
the tenth census it was 9.93 cents. In
Guiding the amount paid enumerators
and supervisors, the total cost of the col
lection of data for the eleventh census
has been $3,6OO,3S5. Superintendent
Porter says that not only was
the cost of collecting the statistics of
manufactures, mines and mining, vital
statistics, ect., increased under the pres
ent to authorizing the superintendent of
the census to withdraw the schedules
from the enumerators and use other and
more efficient methods, but that the pay
for collecting the!the agricultural sched-
ules was likewise increased by Congress.
Should the eleventh census, therefore,
show when completed, slightly in
creased per capital cost, it will, the
superintendent says, be due to the ever
growing popular demand for local and
minute information and to better work,
better methods and better pay allowed
for collecting manufacturing ande agri-
cultural schedules. Sup. Porter express
es the belief that the census work prop
er can all be finisished and ready for the
printer by the close of 1892 and that
the total cost, exclusive of printing
and collecting statistics of farms,
homes and mortgages will not
exceed $1,000, 900, or tritle over II cents
per capita as against total cost of about
$1,000, 600, or about ten cents per capita
for the tenth census, an increase of one
cent. This, he says, will finish up the
work within the next II, or at most is
months, in accordance with the original
plan and without q single outright or
even partial failure. The increased cost
of the eleventh census viii be less than
the increase between the cost of the
ninth and tenth census. The work of
the Office is well advanced, and fourteen
of the twenty-five divisions of the census
Office will have ceased to exist soon after
the new year sets in, work having been
completed. Three other divisions will
exist only in name and in the aggregate
employ but 10 or 20 clerks. The Office
force of the coming year viii be concen-
trated on population, agriculture and
manufactures. 3noqaa

coNTRIBUToRY NEGLECT.

That was rather n peculiar decision,
says the Fall River Herald, which the
supreme court of Rhode Island rendered
few days ago in an employers liability
case TO recover for the loss Of an eye which
was destroyed by flying shuttle. It was
proven that the employe was cognizant OF
the danger to which he exposed him elf
and other operatives by neglecting in his
capacity as loom hxer 10 remove the
source. BY deciding for the defendant
the court considered the fact OF contribu-
tory negligence as relieving the company
from all responsibility for the conse-
quences.
There was one phase Of the evidence
which would seem to paliiate the neglect
and establish the liability oithe employer
The overseer who had charge OF the room
was aware OF the failure to provide proper
shuttle guards, but considered that no
risk was run by anyone, and did not COM
pei the fixer to remedy the defect. In
sense then he became responsible for
whatever happened, and through him the
corporation was rendered liable for the
neglect. Had weaver been the victim OF
the accident, there would have been no
question about the culpability.
According to the view taken by the
Rhode Island judges, anyone who contin-
ues to work In what he knows TO be
dangerous place and neglects to remove
the cause, although capable Of doing so,
even though the oveIsoer is derelict in the !
exercise OF his duties, has no cause for /
action il injured That the position is
not tenable would appear from decisions |
establishing the responsibility OF rail- !
roads for accidents on dangerous cross
ings not provided with hagmcn or guards,
Notwithstanding it is common know
ledge that risk is run in attempting to
cross

HOW lTlOOKS.

The Presidential campaigl is on and
both parties are working as hard as they
can. The Democrats have the lead so far.
But there is one thing that the Demo-
Gratis must not forget, and that is the pre-
tensions OF the Republicans concerning
Blaine's opposition 10 Harrison. Blaine
is man OF resources. lie is a Warwick
He makes kings. He stands behind the
throne. He knows the littlencss Of kings
and Presidents, because he knows that the
power behind the throne guides them.
We give this compliment TO Mr.. Blaine
because he is a leader OF great party.
No man could have originated the idea of
Reciprocity" but Blaine. The word is n
catch word. 1t is Tariff Reform under
another name.
The managers OF the Republican party
are all with Blaine. He is their head. He
does not desire to be President, and he is
simply acting shrewd part to have
Harrison renominated so that he may be
the power behind the throne IL Harrison
is reelected. 1t is a good scheme.
The talk that Platt and Quay and Elkins
are against Harrison is intended for the
Mugwumps. 1t is Necessary TO show them
that there is trouble between the bosses OF
the Republican party and Harrison. When
the Mugwumps have been fully convinced
OF this then Harrison will be nominated.
After that Messrs. Quay, Elkins, Dudley
and Platt will manage the campaign.
The anti Harrison talk Is a humbug.
Watch our predictions

Bay rum is manufactured i'm Dominica
from the dried leaves Of Pimenta acris.
Bay rum is procured by distillation, and
this in n very simple manner, The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried In this state they are placed
in the retort, which is then filed with
water, and the process Of distillation is
carried on. The vapor is then con-
densed in the usual way and forms what
is known ms "bay OIL" very small
quantity of which is required for each
puncheon of rum. The manufacture Of
hay rum is carried on at the northern
end Of Dominica and proves very lu-
