Preparing for a Census Scandal.
From the Chicago Record Qnd).

Inasmuch as the house is largely Repub-
lican, the majority of that body must as
sumo the responsibility for UNFOLDING the
civil service plank of the Republican plat
FORM or take the blame for the scandals
that are almost certain to grow out of
such a spoils census bureau as that which
the Senate Republicans are planning.

Some sort of Populist convention is to
meet at Denver on Wednesday of the pres
ent week. 1t is supposed to be national in
character; but the Populist party has ceas-
ed to be a factor in national politics, hence
it does not make great deal of differ
ence what the character of the convention
may be, or what 1t may do.

1t is provided in the pending census bill
that no political party shall have more
than two-thirds of the offices which will
be created under it. That is 20 say. the
Republicans will grab two-thirds of the
spoils, leaving the remainder for the Dem
ocrats, Populists, Silver Republicans and
others. 1t does not appear that compel
ence is to have anything to do with ap-
pointments; the millions of dollars which
Will be expended under the bill are to be
considered as so much spoils 10 be divided
among party workers. 1t was not long
ago stated by an expert that 100000
could have been saved on the cost of the
eleventh census and it would have been
published earlier and been more accurate
il the clerks and compilers had been Sc
lected for ability and not because of DO
litical influence. However, the SPOTS hun
ters care very little about accuracy, econ
omy and promptness in public business.

PETER, formerly a United States sena-
tor from Kansas, has been nominated for
Governor Of his state by the Prohibition
lists. He was a Prohibitionist before he
became Populist, and Republican be-
fore he was either. He is however, too
big a man to be hampered by political
party lines. With him it is a case of the
means justifying the ends, and since he
is always out for Office any party which
can land him in office is the proper thing.
In the last national campaign Tammany

A new claim is being put forward on be-
half of the Klondike, and it is one which
should appeal powerfully TO that class of
citizens who are proverbial frequenters of
the front row at the theater. Badness
the doctors say. is a disease and is caused
by microbes which destroy the roots of the
hair. The intense cold of the Klondike is
said to kill all germs. those of badness
included. A limited residence in that coun-
try, therefore, is all that is needed to put
a beautiful and thick thatch upon even
the sleekest poll. Some OF the returned
miners go TO the length of saying the
climate VIII make hair grow on a blanket.
and they declare that BARRIERS are more
needed at Dawson than missionaries.

The senate committee on commerce

representatives of the National Bust

Trade in the interest of the establish

eminent to be called the department Of
commerce and industries, and to b.
presided over by cabinet officer. The
arguments were generally made along
the lines that the United States is tbs
only country of importance which hal

dustries and commerce could never
have the supervision their importance

satisfactory to place this work in

cultural department for the reason thai

The latest novelty in the way Of a
dinner was given last week by Lispen-
ard Stewart, a New York swell. He in
vited twenty-five of his friends to dine
at Martins restaurant, where they
found an elaborate spread and beau
tiful table decorated with white tulips.
lilies of the valley and maiden-hair
fern. When four courses had been
served-oysters, soup and fish and an
entree-the ladies resumed their wraps
and took carriages furnished by their
host to the Hoffman house, where a
haunch Of English mutton was served
with Brussels sprouts and grand dis
play Of violets. When this was eaten
the party re-entered their carriages
and drove to the Waldorf-Astoria,
where they finished the dinner amid
most gorgeous spread of orchids. This
progressive plan will no doubt be imi-
tated by more than one society ape.

The Illinois legislature, at its last
session, passed bill materially chang
ing the school law as applied to ez-
penses and assessments tor building
purposes. The old law allowed 2 per
cent Of the valuation for purpose Of
expenses and per cent for building
purposes. The change in the law al
lows 21a per cent for running expenses
and the same amount for building pur-
poses. This change will prove very ac-
ceptable to the school boards through
out the state, as many of them have
been unable to meet current expenses
on the per cent. This latter fact was
due to the very low assessments in the
state,

New York, April 1.-THE president
has decided to give Consul General
Lee the command of the Virginia vol
unteers in the event that hostilities
break out between this country and
Spain, says the Washington cor
respondent of the World. This decis-
ion was reached after a conference
with Secretary Alger and number of
other military men. Owing to Gen.
Lees great knowledge of the topo-
graphical conditions of the Island of
Cuba 1t is more than likely that his
command will be given orders to re.
turn to Havana Mt the head of an in
vading army, and doubtless he will be
allowed to go upon the outbreak of
hostilities. A member of the senate
proposes to introduce Il special act
under which the president NAV mn.
