despicable in the sight of a great many
people.
If it is an outrageous thing to despoil
a mans character how much worse is
it to damage d woman'S reputation?
Yet that evil grows from century to
century, and it is all done by whisper
ers. A suspicion is started. The next
~whisperer who gets hold of it states
the suspicion as a proved fact, and
many a good woman, as honorable as
your wife or your mother, has been
whispered out of all kindly ~aSSocia-
ions and whispered into he grave.
Some people say there is no hell but if
there be no hell for such a despoiler OF
womanly character it is high time that
some ~philanthropiSt built one. But
there is such a place established, and
what a time they will have when all
the whisperers get dow there together
rehearSing thingSi Everlasting carni-
va of mud. Were it not for the I'M
comfortable surroundings, you might
suppose they would be glad to get
there. In that region where they are
all bad what opportunities for explofta-
tion by these whisperers! On earth to
despoil their neighbors sometimes they
had ito lie about them, but down there
they can say the worst things possible
about their neighbors and tell the
truth. Jubilee of w~hisperers. Grand
gala day of backbiters. Semiheaven Of
scandal mongers stopping their gable
about their diabolical neighbors only
long enough to go up to the iron gate
and ask some newcomer from the
earth, What is the last gossip in the
city on earth where we used ito liver"
Now, how are we to war against this
iniquity which curses every community
on earth? First by refusing to listen
to or believe a whisper. Every court
of the land has for a law, and all de-
cent communities have for a law, that
you must hold people innocent until

RAISING CATTLE IN THE EAST
Editor John Bnnnon. Of the Organ OF
Retail butchers Association, says
IL Can lie Made Profitable.

Those who are opposed. secretly or
openly, to the effort being made by re-
tail butchers of New York city to fight
the beef trust by building an independ-
ent abattoir of large proportions and
operating it on cooperative plan have
argued time and again that the move
ment of the beef slaughtering trade to
the west has been material one md
that all efforts TO bring il east again
must be abOrtive, because artificial and
unnatural.
John Bannon. editor of the national
organ of the Retail Butchers associa-
ton, scouts this theory and declares
that the construction of large abattoir
in New York city would be a great in
centive TO the raising of cattle in the
east. The western movement Of the
cattle slaughtering business, he asserts,
Is the work of the Big Five alone. There
are hundreds of thousands of acres Of
fine grazing land in the east on which
no cattle are now raised solely because
there is poor home market for them.
Many of the cattle that are raised In
the east. Mr.. Bannon declares, are
shipped to Chicago, then slaughtered
and shipped east again for consumption,
two freight charges being paid on them.
when only one Is necessary.

INDIANS WANT TO SERVE.
American Redmsn Anxious to Go to

Duty as scouts.

IL has been seriously proposed TO the
war department TO enlist company Of
Indian scouts for service in the phil
ippines. The proposition comes from
a nephew of Senator Tillman, but the
first lieutenant is to be no less a per-
sonage than Hole-in-the-Day, as he IL
known in Minnesota, or Chief Wood
bury, as be calls himselfin English. He
was at the white house with Col. Till
man, and said as he was leaving:
i can raise a magnificent company
OF Chippewas In "a hours, and they
would make the finest scouts on the
face OF the earth. We think the govern
ment ought TO give ns this chance. II
would be the greatest treaty with the
Indians | know of. The Chippewas are
natural fighters and can hide behind a
leaf.

PREPARE FOR NEXT CENSUS
Director W. n. Merriam Talks OF
Appointments of 10000
EnumerntOFA.

In an interview w. II. Merriman, di-
rector of the census, said in reference
TO the appointment of enumerators:
"Our next great undertaking-and any
branch of a work which must reach
every nook and corner, farm and cabin
in the United States, is greats that
of selecting about $4,000 enumerators
for taking the twelfth census. We are
strenuously trying to prepare for a
complete and reasonably perfect cen
sus. The burden of the work of gath
fall on the enumerators.
''In any important line of private
business, preliminary training is re-
quired of those charged with conduct
ing its details. Lawyers and doctors
study before they practice their pro-
fessions, and mechanics are required to
serve thorough apprenticeships before
asking for journeymens work or
wages. So, in my view, those who de-
sire to act as census enumerators should
take up the study of census laws, sched-
ules and statistics, thus familiarizing
themselves as far as possible with the
actual details of the work. In this way
they will be prepared on the first of
June next, like great and well-drilled
army, to begin their labors understand
fngly and harmoniously from ocean 10

ing further orders or instructions.
While / shall not undertake to Sc
Iect enumerators without consulting
with the proper census supervisor as to
the qualifications and experience of ap-
plicants, / would like TO suggest that all
candidates adopt the course / have in
dicated, and thus help TO insure at the
threshold of the twentieth century the
most perfect census in the history Of
