THE CENSUS.

The law requiring the next census
to be taken that its four leading and
most important sections-population,
mortality. manufactures and agricul-
ture-shallr,. be published not later
than July, 1902, is a wise provision.
The census last taken was largely
rendered yalueless in many important
sections because of intolerable delay
in getting out the reports. Truth is,
too much was undertaken. 1t was
mapped out to be statistical exposi-
ton of everything thinkable-worth
knowing. The new census is to be
far more restricted in it's character,
and in consequence we will know
something of its results before the
time OF the taking Of the census Of
1910 rolls around.
The last census was ancient history
before it was available for the general
public. We develop SO rapidly, we
make such changes in our alftirs and
progress with such speed, so to speak,
that census report eight years Old
becomes all but valueless for practi-
cal comparative use. Under the new
law the census bureau is not to roll in
fat salaries decade, but must COM
plete the major portion OF their work
in three years time,
This is as it should be. Even as it
is under the new law we are far from
being up..to the best standard in the
matter OF enumerating the popula-
ttion. We ought to be able, with the
machinery of statistical gathering at
.our command, to make an enumcra-
ton Of the entire population within
one month. In Germany they do it
within twenty-iour hours. But there
is no such area to be treated us with
as. The density OF the German states
in. population, the total absence of
great territorial area with widely scat
tered settlements and;a large body OF
moving people as in our northwestern
andEsouthwestern' parts, makes great
difference in conditions. Nevertheless
it ought tosbe and is-.possible with us
to ascertain the exact number Of peo-
pie in the land within months time.
Such segregation oil the work OF
enumerating, such method in the task
could be provided as to enable all
enumerators to begin simultaneously
and work in such small and we'll de-
fined districts as to give us totals
within thirty days. The census Of
1900 is to be great improvement in
the matter OF time consumed over
either OF the two last taken. We will
have results in q fairly reasonable
time. cbut even that measure can be
shortened and probably will be by the
time another decade elapses.

The Portland Evening Telegram is
frank beyond consistency when it
says: "While it is estimated that the
increase OF population in the United
States has been about % per cent Dur
ing the past nine years, statistics in
dictate that the increase, in the output
OF industry for the same period has
been about % per cent. And it is to
be remembered that most OF this in
crease has taken place since 1895.
The growing and bowling OF the
worlds malcontents cannot make
much impres ion against such fact
as this" While the statement is true
in every particular, we did not expect
such an admission from a leading
democratic paper. To anyone who
will read the industrial history OF this
country for the last 100 years will &C.
cur the startling fact that the indus
trial progress of century has accrued
when party was in power that was
favorable to protection to American
industry and sound money. Those
who predicted the ruin of the labor
ing man and the poor man, will now
be compelled to hunt some other
cause OF complaint to deceive the peo-
Pile, if they deceive them.

OF TROOPS ON
MORGAN CITY
Transport Was Beached Just
as She Was About to
Go Down.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

YOKOHAMA, Sept. s, via Victoria,
B. c., Sept. 19.-Interesting details are
at hand of the wreck of the American
transport Morgan City in the inland
sea of Japan. 1t appears that it came
very near being an appalling catas-
trophe.
Striking upon a reef at 8 o'clock in
the morning the ship remained fast un-
til daylight, when by adopting the eX-
pedient of rushing the men alternately
from one side to the other the ship was
rolled from the rocks into deep water,
where she at once began to fill rapidly
She headed for the shore of the island
of InoShima, several miles distant,
sinking perceptibly with every yard Of
progress. She reached the beach barely
minute before otherwise going under
The discipline of the men was admir-
able and all were gotten ashore in
safety
The seamanship shown appears not
to have been so admirable, as no pre-
cautions were taken to make the bow
fast to the shore after beaching The
day was spent in removing stores. the
transport lying very nearly bow un-
der, but well afloat in the afterpart
Later In the afternoon, without warn
ing, she slid off the steep beach and
sunk in about six fathoms A more
favorable or picturesque spot for
shipwreck could scarcely be found. The
island of Inoshima is about dozen
miles from Hiroshima, the chief city of
the inland sea. Almost instantly came
aid from the Japanese authorities, the
cruiser Yosohome being at once dis
patched and the Red Cross Society
sending a relief expedition. The troops
are loud in their appreciation of Japan
ese kindness.
A pleasant episode for the ship
wrecked men was the passing of the
scene by the Empress of India. She
stopped for some hours and proffered
everything which could be done in the
way of aid.
The damage by the recent typhoon
which swept the whole southern portion
of Japan is even greater than at first
reported. The appalling subsistence of
the Besshi mine in the island of Shiko-
ku entailed the loss of 600 lives. From
some parts of the south reports still
come in of hundreds of houses de-
stroyed, while every prefecture counts
by hundreds it's dead. An interesting
incident in the Besshi mine catastrophe
was the final saving of five miners who
had been imprisoned in the earth for
six days by the caving in of the en-
trance
