The idea of a permanent national
census bureau is good one, and if it
could be organized outside of partisan
politics it would certainly lncreaaettlre
efficiency Of the next census and
probably slightly decrease its cost.
But, can it be kept out of politics =!
1t would be just as well to reserve
some of the sympathy that is being
expressed for the Massachusetts girl
who married her fathers hired man,
for the American girls who marry
foreign noblemen-they are much
more apt to need it. There are few
men in this country who have not at
some period of their lives been some
body's hired man. That Massachus-
etts fellow may be President-of a
bank, if not of the United States
some day.

Arrangements for an Educational show
ing at the Worlds Fair.
The interest taken in all parts of the
country in the coming Worlds Fair has
not been as generally supported by the
colored people as had been expected
The fact that the president neglected
their many petitions for recognition upon
the board of commissioners may have to
some extent caused them to lessen their
interest in the exposition.
Governor Pattison, of PENNSYLVANIA.
was the first official to give recognition
to the claims Of the colored race for rep.
resentation in the Worlds Fair, by ap-
pointing Robert Purvis a member OF the
Pennsylvania commission This honor
was received with qualification among
the colored people of that state as well
as in other parts Of the United States
They have awakened to the Importance
of the undertaking and have become
active in furthering its success. This
action on the part of the governor was
supplemented by the appointment of a
young colored woman upon the women's
committee Of Philadelphia. Miss Flor
ence A. Lewis, who received the appoint.
ment, is a graduate of the Institute for
Oolored Youths. She is contributor to
some Of the leading newspapers and
magazines in the country.
Miss Lewis Immediately entered upon
her duties upon receiving her commissio
last December She has received a fair
showing Of the work Of colored women
embracing art, education, literature,
moral reforms, public health and social
and economic science Her knowledge
Of the conditions Of the colored people,
which her newspaper experience has
afforded, has greatly aided her efforts to
obtain the best results
Her reports show that the colored
people have made great advance in all
the walks Of higher life, but the great
scarcity of space at the exposition pre-
vents the possibility of showing properly
what they are doing. Their educational
display will be one of the most interest
ing features for under the most trying
conditions the race has made great pro-
eress, and the fair will bring out the fact
that out of every hundred schools main.
tanned for colored people throughout
the state Of Pennsylvania over 90 per
cent. of them are crowded with children.
