THE ideal census in this age" says Mr.
J. NJ. Eddy Of California. els one whore
the information to be coilated is a matter
Of daily record and always available for
government use any day it may be advisi-
BILE to have the information transmit
ted to the department" As might be sup
posed, MI. Eddy has a plan for providing
the ideal census. He would have it taken
by the teachers Of the public schools, hav-
ing first perfected an organization of the
teachers into a perpetual census bureau.
under the direction of the department Of
the interior. Teachers are selected with
regard to competency and not for pollti-
cal reasons; they are especially informed
with regard to affairs in their districts,
which are practically uniform with the po>
litical divisions of the states, and hav-
ing the confidence of their patrons. they
can get readily information which enum-
orators appointed for political reasons
get only after some trouble. Further
more, according to Mr.. Eddy, the work
can be done without additional cost 10
the state If the law requires it as a part
Of the teachers duties"
That last suggestion detracts material
ly from Mr.. Eddy's plan; at least, in 50
far as the southern states are concerned.
The pay of the public school teachers in
this section of the country is even now
ridiculously inadequate to the amount of
work they perform. In the country dis
tricts it is no unusual thing for the teach
ers to begin their schools at $50 in the
morning and continue the sessions until
8 O'Clock or later in the afternoon. Their
duties during those hours ARE arduous,
and their pay is not in many instances.
what ditcher would earn in the same
number Of hours. The country school
teacher is one Of the hardest worked and
poorest paid servants in the service of the
people. II the teachers work is to be in
creased. by any circumstances whatsoever.
the pay should be increased also. 1t is
probable that most country school teaoh-
ers would be only too glad to become
census enumerators. if it would add to
their neager incomes. 1t is also probable
that the public scnool teachers could ar
range to furnish n reliable census enum-
Grafton of their respective districts once
a year But they certainly should not
be required to do any such thing with
out adequate compensation. The genera
government is abundanty able to pay,
and pay wen, for yearly census, if il
is desired. But it ought not to impose
hardships on the public school teachers.
And we have no fear that it will.

Mics - ants q hAE&EE Army
Gen. Nelson a. Miles. the new Command
/ ing general Of the army. is military en-
thusiast and fighter. Having attained
TO the highest position possible under the
military laws Of the country. he is nat-i-
rally ambitious 10 augment the import
ance Of that position. Therefore he wishes
to see the strength Of the army increased,
ami the country hemmed in by a system
OF Improbable coast defcnzes. This de-
sire he has expressed in his first re-
port as commanding general TO the Sec
Rotary Of War.
The general thinks the arbitrary fixing
Of the size Of the standing army at $500
men was mistake and should be abo;-
ishcd He would substitute plan thar
would make the army srow as the popu-
lation Of the country increased lie thinks
there should be at least one soldier in
the army for each 200 inhabitants. The
census fixes The population Of the coun-
try at about 70.00c09. which. under the
Miles plan. would give us standing army
Of some 5000 men. That number or
men trained for war he estimates to De
necessary 90 the prompt and proper sup
preston Of domestic disturbances. which
experience has taught are from time TO

ularizing the army service with the pee
Pile. SO as TO have in the volume OF citi-
zens a number Of men holding the rank
Of petty officers Of the army-withou;
ray-and ready 10 volunteer in case or
war, the general thinks an army Of 350l5
at present under a system providing FOR
gradual growth. would take care Of the
country IN good shape.
Gen. Miles does not expect a war with
a foreign power at any time in the near
future. but he says If such war were
to break out. this country would he taken
at a fearful disadvantage Our coas;
defenses are extremely weak. Many or
the most important points on both coast
are absolutely without protection. It
would be very little. if any. trouble for q
foreign fleet to capture and levy tribute
from any one of several Of the large
coast cities. He recommends, therefore.
that great guns, of the most improved
type, be mounted in harbor defenses be
fore the principal coast cities.
The general bases his observations ana
recommendation upon facts that are well
known with regard to our lack Of prepara-
tion for war with any Of the great pow
ers. on the other hand, there
is the powerful argument against
greatly increasing the military service OF
the country, that we are not a quarrel
some people, and there does not appear
anything for as to 80 to war about. Uncle
Sam has no chip on his shoulder and
it is well assured fact that none Of
the neighbors viii come over and step
on his coat-tails just for the fun Of the
thing.

Speaker CFisp's Miscue.
From the Vadosta (Ga) Times Oem).

We were told the day before this speech
that the eX-speaker would be the demo-
cratic leader in the next House, and that
he was going to give the cue" to the
democracy Of the country. The cue
was decidedly as miscue. The democracy
Of the country needs no cue" of this sort.
and viii take none of it. The speech was
cue" to Crips's idea of the successful
road to the United States Senate, II
was a"cue" taken from Mai. Bacon's
success, and from the political leaders in
Georgia who have been insisting that the
state was for free silver or bust" Much
less a leader, Crisp viii cut little figure
in the next House. His own party will
be in the minority, and he VIII belong to
the minority faction of his own party.
His speech was disappointment to many
who thought that the ex-speaker was
able to rise to craftsmanship in spite of
the temptation to follow after popular
craze which promised promotion. Buc
in our own judgment there IS going to be
a great disappointment. The free silver
fantasy is dying out in Georgia as else
where.
A prominent South Georgian in AT
lanta. who heard Congressman Crisp's
speech, writes to friend in Naldosta;
Il was really greatly disappointed in his
speech, as il did not come any way near
to my expectation. The man who COM
pares Crisp in point OF ability with Tur-
ner, or even Hoke Smith, knows not
what he Is talking about. The more
know OF Georgia's big men the greater
does Turner become"

the America cup. 1t will require a great
deal of courage to oppose the prevailing

Every feather a printed smile.

Where the wee green folk lie down.

Fans away the flush of the sun
Every stem that shivering stept
From the air in its last good-by
Left a brave young bud that kent
Its spring life sealed in the sky:
And the bards of the woodland say,

The bonny leaf spirits play
Like soft St. Elmo fires

Whose beauty was born to be
