A PARTISAN CENSUS.

The refusal OF tho senate to place the
census employees under civil service rules
was the result OF combination OF the
spoilsmen of both parties. although a ma
lori'y OF tho majority against the reform
proposition was composed of republicans.
Inc agreement reached TO the effect that
not more than two thirds OF the SUPERVISOR,
anu enumerators should belong to any one
political party. rather emphasized the OK
istehce OF purpose to parcel out these
employees as "spoils."
III Is peculiarly unfortunate for the South
that during thu census years the renuh,ican
party Is in control. II was so In ism and
II VIII be so In 1900. The last census was
VIGOROUSLY inaccurate and yieiously sec.
tional and partisan. The population Of rc-
publican States was diligently sought for
and enumerated: wealth statistics. indus.
trial statistics. production hgures-eyery-
thing calculated to show superiority were
faithfully reported. while in the South the
most s!ip-shod and Indifferent methods
We're pursued.
1t is possible to 10 manipulate Tho con.
sus as to deprive a section. or any partlo-
nlar State, OF Its prestige and its jus, polit.
ical representation. That this was done
to great extent In 1890 can not be doubt
ed, and that the republican managers would
shamelessly resort to such a course in 1900
Is equally certain. II the one third OF tho
cnumerators and supervisors that will fail,
to tho democratic and populist parties
could be wholly stationed in the South and
West, possibly some Of the rascality OF the
republicans might be prevented. but North.
ern democrats will claim large share Of
the patronage and get It.
The democratic seuaaou made 4 mistake

bors. There Is no uniform rule OF action
anywhere. no scientific plan, only the ca.
PRECIOUS will or the favorltism of asses.
sors or so-called boards OF equalization.
Not only does personally largely escapa
taxation, but realty Is so inconsistency re-
turned in different wards, districts or
counties that large numbers OF citizens arc
practically exempted from taxation while
others bear double burdens.
The statesman who shall devise plan
for correcting these evils and shall secure
q thorough reform Of tax laws will prove
benefactor to his race and place State gov
crnments under lasting obligations TO him.
The subject is worthy the earnest attention
Of the best minds OF the day. II might be
necessary to have State officers to fix a
uniform system Of values and provide by
law that local assessments should follow
the State figures; or publication OF Assess
ment lists for certain period before be-
coming effective might be resorted 10 In
order that the public might read and COM
pare and have an opportunity to insist upon
equalization. Whatever the reform may
be, certain 1t is that reform Is necessary.
In the matter OF the assessment Of rail-
roads, as suggested In the correspondence
referred to, It would be comparatively easy
to have the railroad commission fix the
value Of tho lines. But the evil Is not con-
fined to any one subject OF taxation nor TO
any one kind OF property---the system Is az
fault Where and when will Texas IND
