ing for the collection of duties on pas

THE DRUMMER's EXPERIENCE

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A drummer lost his way in a southwest
Georgia county where there was a good
deal of religious enthusiasm at that time.
So he just gave his horse rein and made
the best of it. Presently he was con-
fronted by a signboard, nailed TO pine
tree at the forks of II road. The sign
read:
Turn. sinner, tuIn!"
The drummer followed its advice and
turned on the road nearest the sign. A
little further on he was confronted by
another sign:
You are on your way to hcll!'
That was rough, but like many another
man. he kept on. Yet one more signboa;d
faced him:
"Sinner, you are lost forever!'
"God help us!" cried the drummer,
between all these signs what's a poor
lost devil to do?'
cit right down on yer knees" cried a
voice from the bushes. IAN cry for
mercy! Down with you. an holler Ter

That was too much for him. and, put
ting spurs to his horse, he fed like the
wind; nor did he stop until he reached a
railroad, where he signaled a freight
train and shook the dust of that ghostly
neighborhood from his shoes.

The City Campaign.

I'm the midst of the wild alarms Of
war" IL is gratifying to observe that
peace ana good feelings attend thus far
the progress Of Scranton's municipal
campaign. This is as IT should be. The
election Of mayor is peculiarly a
function calling for the exercise Of cool
judgment aud common sense rather
than for fireworks and excitement.
1t is evident. however. that the drift
or public sentiment is altogether in
favor of the Republican ticket. The
opposition not only is badly torn hy

uusly handicapped by the sorry record

The New Customs Rule.

Intense complaint is arising over the
new customs regulation requiring every
steamship passenger before landing in
the United States to make under oath
list of all articles purchased while
abroad and then compelling a detailed
search Of his baggage by the customs
inspectors to discover if the passenger
has lied This search takes generally
two hours and during it the passenger
has not only to be held under suspicion
as a perjurer but also to see all his
effects exposed. article by article Ia
the public gaze, even to the soiled
linen in his yalise. In the case of
women passengers this amounts tc
downright brutality.
on this subject the conservative
Philadelphia Ledger is moved to say:

All the Elements of Treason.

1t is reported that the Legislature Of
Maine had intended. if the peace
treaty failed of ratification in conse-
quence of the negative vote Of Sena-
tor Eugene Hale, 10 pass a resolution
requesting him to resign. This report
seems credible in view of the fact that
Senator Hale's vote was cast in direct
defiance of it's unanimous request that
he support the treaty.
But we ear discover no reason why
the success OF the treaty should cause
the Legislature of Maine to forego this
intention. Senator Hales betrayal of
his constituents was as bold and in
eXcusable as betrayal could be. To the
utmost extent of his ability he slapped
in the face not only public opinion, the
president of the United States, the SOL
diers and sailors of his country with
whose treaCherous murderers he open
ly sympathized, and his distinguished
colleague Senator Frye, but also the
very Legislature which gave him his
credentials. His defiance was unquali-
fed in its insolence; nothing like it
has within our recollection occurred in
public life.
His conduct raises an issue which
should be decided. As a senator he is
supposed to represent and work in ac-
cord with the will of his constituency.
That constituency through Il Legislature

The Next Census.

Representative Hopkins, of Illinois,
has introduced and the house has
passed bill in relation to the
next decennial census which possesses
merit. II limits the scope OF the CEN
sus inquiry to facts of chief import
ance and requires that the report shall
be completed and published before Jan.
/, 1903 Nine years and four months
interviewed before the tenth census was
published, and eight years and three
months before the completion OF the
eleventh census. Information under
this slow process becomes obsolete long
before it reaches the eye of the public.
The HOPKINS bill further provides
that the next census shall he a fed
eral department in itself, accountable
directly to the president, and adds the
selection OF enumerators to the patron
age of members of congress. This lat
and opposition Of the civil service re-
formers, but it is probably the only
feasible way to organize a temporary
census within the specified limit as to
time. What the country needs is per-
manent census organized on scientific
lines, having no connection with poll
tics of the partisan variety and able to
report salient facts as to population
and commerce. not once in ten years
merely, but every year, if necessary.

last convicted and sent to the pcnitpn-

Despatch passed into other hands ana
it is said that he will be obliged to en-.

one which proves conclusively that the

has made good start toward the solu-

cnacting a law providing that certain

offences may be employed on county

themselves and the county poor and
may also be used in the construction of
public roads. An idle convict is both
public crime and a public loss.
