IIttla nnna in the House.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October s.
Interest in the elections debate is not
sustaining expectations. 1t is tagging
instead of increasing. To-day the only
speeches that attracted any attention
were those Of the colored man, Mr..
Murray, Of South Carolina, and Mr..
Money, Of Mississippi. Mr.. Murray
was accorded unusual attention largely
perhaps out OF curiosity on account OF
his color.
The public gallery was packed to the
doors with negroes, who a%pplauded his
%utterances.
Secretary Morton was, by the bill
passed to-day, placed In the line OF
Presidential succession. The position
of Secretary Of Agriculture had not
been created when the succession bill
was passed in 1887.
The bill passed turning ever the
property OF the Mormon Church now In
The hands Of a receiver, to charitable
purposes. marks the official winding up
of the affairs of the Mormon Church
under the Edmunds-Tucker act.
Mr.. Oates called up the bill disquaIi-
flying United States Judges from sitting
in cases in which they have ever been
interested as counsel or ties OF consan-
guinity, and it was passed.
The bill restoring property OF the
Mormon Church now in the hands OF a
receiver was then taken up, Il AFTER
little debate, passed.

A GOOD

The assignment Of Mr.. CARROLL ID.
WPreur TO the task Of completing tho
eleventh census will meet general ap-
proval. II Is a botched job that PoE-
TEE left. but Mr.. WRIGHT may be de-
pepded upon TO finish it properly, for as
the New York World puts it he is not
only an accomplished statisticIan, but
better still is an honest one, as PORTER
scarcely pretended 10 be.
MIR. WRIGHT cannot now undo the
mischiefs- OF PoBrEB's incapacity and
fraudulent manipulation Of statistics
for partisan purposes. But he can at
any rate give an illustration OF the
superiority Of honest to dishonest meth
DDS. an object lesson IN the desirSoiliy
Of forever hereafter keeping the u
try's statistical work out Of such hands
as PoBTER's.
The history and outcome Of the e'ev-
epth census afford the strongest posi-
BILE argument for the creation Of a per-
manent census bureau, TO be presided
over by an expert aud TO be organized
throughout for faithful, conscientious
and trustworthy work.
The taking Of a census aud the proper
notification Of It's results are expert
work. Vital public interests depend
upon the accuracy OF its doing. II can
never be- expected that it will be well
done so long as It is done under a hap
hazard, temporary organization, created
aud dominated by a politician appoint
ed for politics and disposed to twist
statistics to partisan ends.
The census is our comprehensive
body of statistics. It should be made
BY statistlcians skilled in the work, Sc
cure in their positions and under hon
est and capable direction.

Resulting From An Excited Individual
Pulling a Fire Alarm Box.
About a quarter after ten o'clock last
evening some ~excitable person, passing
along Eoff street, in front OF the Clay
school building, happened to glance up
ward. He saw some smoke blowing over
the roof of the house, and at once
jumped to the conclusion the the school
house was on fire and broke for the
nearest fire alarm key and turned In a
quick call for the department. Every
piece Of fire apparatus In the city re-
spOnded, as did a bout a thousand peo-
pie, only 10 fl nd there was no
fire, the smoke which caused
the %unknown's alarm proceeding in
an entirely legitimate manner from the
school house chimney. Four engines,
four reels and hose wagons, two chem
icals, a ladder truck and the patrol
wagon filled Eoff street about TO its ca
pacity, and created wild excitement for
a time in that usually quiet quarter Of
the city.
Folks who feel the spirit moving them
TO pull fire alarm boxes ought TO be sure
there is a fire, first, and then ought to
stand at the box, after sending in an
alarm, until the tiremen arrive, to direct
them. At this alarm the fremen could
end no one at the box, and were at quite
q loss for several minutes, TO tell where
to look for the supposed blaze.

The Obstructionist Senator's Designate

Special telegram 70 the REoEsteT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October s.
While the general situation In the SEN
ate is as puzzling as ever, one signih-
cant fact has come TO the surface, lDdl-
eating that for the first time the de-
structive Senators from q silver
States see and acknowledge that they
cannot continue much longer TO blocK
business and Staye off a vote.
These senators got together last night
and talked matters over among them
selves. There were non but Repuoll-
cans present. 1t developed that they
had at last awakened to the fact that
the country had become aroused to such
a pitch over their defiant attitude that
it would not be safe for them tacontin-
ne il much longer. They acknowledged
to one another that ii they did not
strive to make terms and end,the contest
quickly, feeling might run so high
in another week that they would be
swept aside and trampled down, and all
chance Of doing something for silver"
lost.
So they agreed on a compromise
which they would accept. This is that
all the silver bullion now in the
treasury be coined, and that purchases
of silver at rate OF So, 500, 900 a month
be continued for three years.
But little importance is attached to
the terms Of this offer. The important
point is the fact that the obstruction
lists have been forced to formulate a
compromise, which at the outset they
declared repeatedly they would never
do

When the Senate met this morning Mr.,

within range OF her prey before her
character is discovered.
The Boston Globe says, commenting
on the latter fact:
In this age Of reciprocity and arbitration,
and while we are thinking OF getting ready
to celebrate 1000 years Of Christianity, 1t
seems a little singular 10 read of ships like
the Columbia, especially designed to spring
upon merchant ships laden with food and
necessities and sink them with terrific
guns and tOrpedoes on the same plan that a
tiger springs on an Unsuspecting s~heepfold.
But war is war. and so long as 10 is toler-
ated by the world ''destroyers" must be
built.
II is not an unworthy nor quite q Chi
merical hope, however. that before the
next century shall dawn, monster ships
built for the express purpose Of destroying
commerce may be made unnecessary
through the resources Of international ar
bitratiOn.
Our contemporary is wrong. These
commerce ~destroyers" are misnamed.
They are most potent preseryers OF COM
merco and peace, and promoters OF the
policy OF international arbitration.
When nations are equipped with such
terrible engines OF destruction they are
very slow in going to war.

The Number on the Pension Roll is

The Number on the Pension Roll is
Gradually Decreasing.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 8
The high-water mark as to the number
OF pensioners on the rolls and the
amount Of money to be expended per
wear has evidently been reached. A
statement prepared ut the pension bu-
reau shows that on July l, 1898, there
were g66,O12 pensioners Of all kinds be-
ing borne upon the rolls. On Sep
TENDER 4, 1 g3, two months afterward,
there were oaly 9G4, SOS, showing u net
decrease during that time Of 1904 pen
si0ners. This IS an average net de-
crease Of SO1 per month, and il extend
ed through the year would show a net
decrease OF Q.6st. This is the first time
in thirtythree years, or since the war,
that a net decrease to the rolls has been
shown. 1t is estimated at the bureau
that the loss 20 the rolls during the
present fiscal year by oath, remarriage,
miners reaching the nOn-pensionaDle
aye, sc, will reach $4,000, as against
$4,000 last wear, and il is thought that
the additions 20 the rolls will not reach
much more than 40, 900. These figures
mark an epoch In pension matters long
expected, but which has required about
thirty wears TO reach.
