The occupation Of our wives is to

expect some householder to answer
that the occupation of his wife is

Let it be remembered that the
"rumorologist" who started the Ka-
iulani talk is Mr. j. B. Castle, one
of the alleged proprietors of the
Advertiser. The Opposition has
never said one word in regard to
Her Royal Highness. 1t is very
doubtful indeed whether her advent
to Hawaii would be favorably con-
sidered. The rumors in regard to
her becoming the head of the Gov
ernment Of Hawaii are solely due to
the friends of the Advertiser.

What the ownership of cattle,
horses, mules, donkeys, sheep, pigs
and goats has to do with the census
we fail to see. We thought the

THE CENSUS.

Superintendent Atkinson has sent
us a copy of the blanks which are to
be used in taking the census next
month. We hope that everybody,
foreigners, Hawaiians and Asiatics,
will understand the Importance OF
filling out the blanks and truthfully
answer all the questions asked, from
their religious denominations to the
number of pigs and donkeys owned.

There are few of the questions
which seem absurd to the casual OBJ
server. Mothers of illegitimate chill
dren need not respond under the
rubric, "Mother of how many chill
dren." The question "read and
write English" cannot truthfully be
answered by number of people.
The editors of the Friend and the
Advertiser would be unable TO an
swer in the affirmative. Jews and
heathens are not in it. Yet the

electoral votes are virtually conceded to Mckinley, for congressional candi- dates almost invariably lead the cleo toral and state tickets.
 MT. Hanna claims, in addition to these states, that California, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland, Minne- sota, Nebraska, North and outh Da- kota, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming with ninety-5wo more votes are almost certain making the McKin- ley total 302. He. also has hopes of carrying Idaho, Louisiana Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia with eighty four votes. This would leave Ala bama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and South Caro- line with sixty-one votes as alone con- ceded to Bryan.

It is plain that the attorney general is beginning to lhirsh that MT. Ehlin- wood had an ulterior motive in ad dressing him concerning Smith. Here is a fresh contribution on the subject from our Washington correspondent:
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-(Special Dispatch to The Arizona Republican)- Mark Smith has not been indecently hurried out of office. Attorney Gen eral Harmon has not yet taken fur ther steps to answer Ellinwood's sug- gestiou for a new deputy and is not likely to do so for week.
 "He left the city Ehis afternoon to be absent until Monday. Before leav- ing he told your correspondent that he expected to await a detailed statement by mail before proceeding against Smith. He did not consider it fair tC Smith to put him out without chance to be heard, either to decline to be g candidate or to vacale his office.
 Harmon is busy man. He may not get here before Monday and il Smith is to have any say it must be delayed longer. Unless the urgency is great it is improbable that the removal can be effected before election day.
 There was a quiet rumor about towr yesterday that Reese M. Ling of Pres co.lt was "a candidate for the office now held by Smith.

DEATH OF MR. CRISP.
The Ex Speaker a Victim of Hear
 Failure.

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 23.-Charles F. Crisp of Georgia, ex-speaker of the house of representative died here this afternoon of heart failure. MT. Crisp had been an inmate of the sanitarium of Dr. Holmes of Atlanta for several weeks In the last three or four days it became apparent that his condition was serious, but it was not expected that he would die so soon. There is general sorrow over llhe news of his death.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.--(Special Dispatch to The Republican-)- -)-The dispatch from Atlanta announcing the death of ex-Speaker Crisp was received with many manifestations of sadness. It is impossible for one to be connect ed with ithe National congress so long as MT. Crisp was without forming the strongest tics lhere He was man of genial personality and had a large circle of friends In the last session of congress he did not attract much alttendion, although he took part in sev- eral of the more prominent debates. In the two preceding congresses he was speaker and wielded strong influ- ence.
 Old timers here will not soon forget the memorable contest in 1891 between MT. Crisp and Roger 0. Mills for the speakership of the house. Mills be- came disgruntled over his overwhelm- ing defeat, refused to accept any favors at Crisp's hands, and soon afterward left the house for the senate. MT Crisp made an admirable presiding of f1cer. He was master of parlia mentary law. He was born in 1S45 1T England, where his parents were tenn porarily sojourning, and was brough to ibhe United States the same year He was a confederate soldier and sub sequently became a lawyer and {
 judge. He began his congressiona career in 1882.

WORK WITH THEIR MOUTHS.
Alleged Laborers Who Talk Politics
 on the Streets

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 23.-One amount of work being done by imita- tion workingmen. The Populists start ed the custom.
 At ' o'clock yesterday morning a sign a foot square, "Laborers Want ed," was tackled On the outside of the door of the e. A. Crockett Cement company, at the southwest corner of Eighth and Delaware streets. At the same time a man who sells a mixture to clean clothes began operations at the curb about ten feet away. IL was not long before forty men, who seemed to have abundant leisure, gathered about to listen o the 'fakir." Men who gather on Delaware street between Eighth and Ninth streets, to discuss politics passed by the place, and many undoubtedly read the glaring sign. MT. Crockett left the placard ttere 'un- til after Il o'clock, but during the four hours that 1t had been displayed no one had entered the office to apply for work
 Mir. Crockett needed laborers to un- load cement from cars into his ware house and he waited impatiently until 10 o'clock for an application Then he went out on the sidewalk to find some one himself. He spoke to several, who admitted they were out of work, but, he says. they were very particular about the permanency of the job and about the pay and other details.
 At 10:30 o'clock, MT Crockett says he obtained a man who was viking to 20 to the warehouse. When the man got there he looked about and said he might return in the afternoon and then left. Meantime no one had applied at the office in answer to the sign, and MT. Crockett again went or the street in search of man. In tht crowd which surrounded the fakir ht
 could find no one who would work
 so he went to the crowds near Nintt and Delaware streets on the same mis
 sion. At last he succeeded in getting man who went to his warehouse an( began work.
 ''It seems very strange to me-" h,
 said, 'that out of the hundreds of mel who stand on the sidewalk talkin, , politics and complain that they cal get nothing to do, not one would cal when he saw the sign Laborers Want , ed.' It shows that the men who stan, . . on street corners and argue do no . represent laboring men,

A M'KLNLNY HOTBFD.
Chicago Has No Use for Bryan.
 FrOhman's View

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Charies Froh- man, the theatrical manager, of New York, was ct Republican headquarters this morning, and in talking about the situation eaid that he thought while he was in New York that he was ln the hotbed of McKinleyism.
 "But," he said, 1T have been in Chi cago for three days, and I confess that 1 have heard three times as much Mo- Kinley talk here as I heard in New York. Reports received from all my companies all over the west tell the same story. When I came out here I was doubtful as to the situation in the west, but I am convinced today that Mckinley and Hobart are going to sweep this part of the country as we'll as the east.
 Another good sign is the business being done by all of my companies throughout the country. Generally, in presidential elections, I get telegrams every night saying that business is poor because of political parades, but now it is otherwise. The people seem to have made nr their minds and are not being carried away by campaign show. All my re yo. = ,asc that all oyai he country tine theatrical audiences are al- most eolid for Mckinley, and since I have been at Chicago I have noticed this same thing myself. I shall go back home myself perpectly content that Mckinley is as good as elected nOW"
